Is this fanfiction that escaped containment? I’m not mad about it if it is Howl’s Moving Castle AU, but I do sort of wonder how much of the cosy vibes are original to the text and how much is my brain filling in the gaps with content from a movie that I love and have watched easily over a hundred times. Would love to hear the thoughts of a reader who hasn’t watched HMC for comparison

You’re telling me this woman runs around town with DRIED MEAT in her pockets? Not jerky, not cured, just dried meat. Not in a plastic bag, no wrapper, she just straight up has meat pockets?? Ew.
Also why hasn’t this been brought up before? If she’s going around with dried meat in her pockets, shouldn’t every cat she encounters constantly be trying to get at that stash?? They should go crazy smelling her 🤨

So why is a spell to end the world feasible but a spell to transport the shop between cities, rather than within the city, considered impossible?

“I remember—“ I don’t.
There were so many missed opportunities to foreshadow future plot developments and flesh out the world. Things like putting a pen in her pocket if having a pen in her pocket becomes relevant later or listing artefacts’ powers as she categorises them if they are significant; only find out about actions/events/feelings retrospectively robs the narrative of much tension and feels flat.
