Summary
“The other day during the movie,” Hermes begins slowly, “Stone Free was holding my hand. One of her strings wrapped around my wrist and wouldn’t let go. You didn’t notice?”
“I guess not.” Jolyne picks at her chipped nail polish for a moment. “Was it weird?”
“I don't know. Not really. It was weird, but not ‘bad’ weird. You get me?”
“I get you,” Jolyne says, so quietly Hermes nearly misses it.

Stone Free brings - and holds - Jolyne and Hermes together.

Summary
Shrue had built their platform on being a model member of the community, a local, a “family man.” But the more they invested in their work, the further that image seemed to be from the truth, and no number of reiterations to the press that they’d “grown up around the water” could detract from how far downstream the currents had carried them. The prestige of their position and the duties that came with it had spilled out over their world like an oil slick; a glimmering fetid iridescence that choked out all life beneath the surface.
Of course, this was all assuming they even had a family.
[Yet another character study of my favourite politician, focusing on their complacency, alcoholism and of course their Shruedinger's family.]

Bookmarker's Notes
One of the best things I’ve read recently, hands down. Fantastic mix of character study, horror, and worldbuilding that fills you with a deep sense of misery. I love Adjudicator Shrue and their dubiously real family

Summary
The raw mouth of devouring darkness swallows Faulkner whole as he descends down the caves of the Endless Drear with his first true disciple following in his footsteps close behind him.
“Brother Faulkner.” The echo of Sister Thurrocks’s voice licks at his heels like a rising tide, her heavy, unsteady breathing rippling through the dark like through deep, murky water. “Brother Faulkner, this doesn’t feel right.“
It does not feel right. But. “This is our only way forward.”

Summary
The Dreaming Chamber in the depth of the Grand Aquifer. The empty throne. The locked door. The waters of the sacrificial pool lapping at the hems of their robes. The smell of sulfur in the cold, damp air. Their Prophet waiting for them in the water.
Somehow, it feels like Sibling Rane has already been here before.
