The Collected Works of L&E Fiction

We at LnE have an almost freakishly refined aesthetic sense, as one can immediately tell from the script-typewriter mixed metaphor in the title graphic. So we thought we'd share the outpourings of our pen in a collection of fiction that will leave you chilled to your very marrow.
