Summary
"The Cymothoa exigua, commonly known as the tongue-eating louse, is a parasite that severs the blood vessels in a fish’s tongue, causing it to fall off. It then attaches itself to the remaining stub, essentially becoming the fish’s new tongue. The fish needs it to eat, to consume, to live."
Or: In the timeless, massless planes of death, Rin reflects on her relationship with Altan.

Summary
Rin has been treated as worthless her entire life. For her gender, her skin color, her socioeconomic status. Through sheer will, she gets into Sinegard, where she will be introduced to an unimaginable amount of power that has an equally unimaginable price. But there are other ways of healing, she realizes; there are other ways of fighting for justice and for her people. Still ugly, but perhaps, she may end up with her life and the lives of those she loves intact.
Or: in which Rin bleeds but gets the opportunity to truly get better and move past her ghosts. Or: in which Venka finds a rival, and then someone who truly understands her pain, and then eventually a companion, and then more than a companion in Rin. Or: in which Altan gets people who finally, truly view him as human, and he manages to open his heart a bit more.

Summary
"Venka had died a traitor. She had died a savior, too. Those two statements had to exist side by side, Rin decided. Their opposite meanings canceling one another out, dimming the pain that threatened to spill out of the cracks whose summation, by now, solely defined Rin."
Or: A study on what it means to love Fang Runin, and to be loved by her in turn.
Or alternatively: What do you do when you destroy everything you touch?

Bookmarker's Notes
time loops are so interesting when executed well, and man, the author is an expert in manipulating time, distance, emotions, and narration style to make it hit just right. Lila and Lenu are so vividly, poignantly portrayed here; stunning.

A relationship fic that also doubles as a brilliantly written character study for all three characters? Rin’s descent into an even more terrible person? Her guilt running parallel to Kitay’s resentment and complicity? Sign me up!

Summary
“Venka pretended not to acknowledge the warm tingles Rin’s fingers left as their hands touched. Pretended not to notice how the tiny touch had burnt itself into her bones and marrow, leaving an ache for more in its wake.”
(Or: 4 times Venka realised she’s in love with Rin, and the +1 time she told her.)

Bookmarker's Notes
YES YES YES YES YES. absolutely going feral over the doomed lesbian situationship we could've had if rf kuang had been brave enough. this fic is so lyrical: poetic and undulating and soaked in the tragedy that only children who were never made to be saved could create.
