Fantasy in a Cozy Setting

Every writer needs a little inspiration once in a while. For today’s prompt, write a fantasy story set in a cozy place special to you.

Some of my current favorite reads have to be Legends & Lattes and Bookshops & Bonedust by Travis Baldree. I love how he can bring high fantasy world-building into a cozy setting that still feels alive and immersed in the larger world. 

In the spirit of Travis' work, take a setting that you find cozy (like a coffee or book shop) and write a fantasy set there.
