Ballads of Beyond

Haftan is trying to break Tip, and Evenn and Daer have a sneak-peek into the immediate future… and the consequences of failure. Beks and Debbie discuss building stakes and breaking characters.

As Daer dies (there’s a countdown), he and Evenn share a moment. Debbie and Beks discuss Daer’s arc and how to kill characters well.

We see Tip’s Level Up from his own perspective, and Haftan takes advantage of the situation in his usual fashion. Beks and Debbie solve a plot hole and share some of the struggles of writing time travel.

Haftan, Evenn, Tip and SPUD are world-hopping, where they meet a certain mysterious woman and her baby, and find some answers they’d rather not have discovered. Debbie and Beks discuss deus ex machina, plotting vs pantsing, and co-authoring.
Note: you're not crazy; this is episode 13. Please understand that Debbie is a musician and therefore cannot count above 12.

Daer meets a long-lost father in another world, while Tip and Evenn struggle to get him back before the paths between worlds close for good. Beks and Debbie discuss enemies to lovers and Daer's character arc.

Tip and Evenn are working hard to bring Daer (and Ozan) home. And there’s a KISS. And Beks and Debbie discuss rise and fall in tension, and writing wholesome and selfless romantic epiphanies (when you’ve never had a romantic epiphany 🥲). 

Daer and Evenn return to the manor where it all began, to reunite with their parents. Beks and Debbie wrap up loose ends, share their opinions on writing endings, and the panic-inducing amnesia of multitasking projects. (Season final.) 

That's right, we're back! With a brand new world-hopping, family-finding story about a Victorian gentleman thief and his new wayward ward. 
Episodes one, two and three will release on February 27, 2026 (or a week earlier for our Patreon supporters!). Are you ready to enter the mirrors?

Meet Kala, a young girl from an island world who has the miserable luck of being an orphan. And then meet the world-hopping, time-travelling thief who accidentally kidnaps her. After the story, Beks and Debbie discuss their techniques for showing world-building, and look at what's the same and what's different for this season. 
If you're plotting to steal Beks' deleted scenes (and more!) world-hop over to our Patreon. 

Henry only wants to go to dinner and convince his family that everything is perfect, preferably without being arrested by the intergalactic police. His compromised KIDNEY points, lost mirror and the child he's found are working against that. Later, Debbie and Beks discuss writing realistic children and the petty things that make us feel morally superior to strangers.
