Summary
They do not see it — the haze, the blurriness of time — but feel it creeping down their necks, clawlike. Young things happen fast upon each other; writhe, tenderlimbed, tender; the way happens a quick sleep in the dark of another’s hold when you fall and they catch your breath in theirs. There in the night such things are permitted, and holy.
[On lakewater, and what lives beneath, 1859]

I don’t know if I’ve ever read anything more beautiful in my entire life. No words. Only awe.

A masterclass on prose, thematic parallels, storytelling, and the rivalry of two students who are knee-deep in things that can kill them at any time. Probably the absolute best work I've ever read of these two on this platform. Will be rereading one million times.

When the sickness wants you, it takes the shape of your teeth and whittles them sharper. You call it rot and it means death between your lips.

Summary
Perhaps you are right in that communion should be an embrace rather than a spectacle. Still, the ways of the Church are not to be engraved anew. We’ve set them in stone together, remember; only one of us could afford to stray from them.

Summary
The Papers of Edgar, Choir Intelligence, as found within the Hidden Village of Yahar'gul.
A collection of journal entries, letters, notes, and scrawled papers, seemingly abandoned, from when Edgar was investigating the School of Mensis on behalf of the Choir. Horror turns to curiosity, then to madness, as what began as a simple academic assignment threatens to shatter all of what he believes.
Complete!

Fic I absolutely adore. Took me by the ankles and shook me upside down- perfect writing on a perfect story. Must read!

“Do you know what they say about stars— that even the brightest of them die eventually. I need not tell you that the Sun itself is not immortal.”
