15. Sometimes, I just want a nice, warm slice of galaxy cake (bonus points if it's also, as I interpret it, a meditation on both art and on being open to both the points of light and darkness in our lives) as in "Upon a Vast, Velvet Veil" by @marisca.bsky.social www.fusionfragment.com/issue-25/

I've got the day off work, so time to bring back an old favourite, this time using lessons learned from all the great stuff we published in 2025. Let's do this.
