Hope Through the Long Dark Night

Chapter 5: Pain from an Old Wound - Essek

Summary:

Essek goes back to Rosohna for the light day ceremony, one last time.

Notes:

I was waffling on whether or not to include this last holiday's trappings because a) it's not a winter holiday (it's between mid-October and Mid-November every year) and b) I wasn't close to my firsthand sources, so I was depending mostly on youtube documentaries.

But, you know, it fits, and I did name the fic Festivals of Light, so. Just lower your expectations for accuracy and I'm sorry for anything that seems jarringly out of place. I'll be including a full writeup of what I tried to get accurate and what I changed for all of the holidays in a tumblr post, that should be up in the next 24 hours.

Chapter Text

The chapter that used to be here is now its own work here! I just didn't want to delete the comments

Notes:

You can find me on tumblr as Operafloozy, or if you're only interested in fic or yarn updates, you can check Critterfloozy.

Thanks again to Im_not_shouting_Im_projecting on tumbr for the beta. This would have been a lot more confusing without it.

I have my notes up for the various holidays referenced in the fic here, if you're at all interested!
