    Summary

    The canon of The Mechanisms is notoriously gory. Practically every major character dies, and often dies cosmically and horribly. Even the Mechanisms themselves, theoretically immortal though they are, die in the end. As storytellers highly concerned with death, a number of questions and complexities arise during their stories. I believe the Mechanisms canon can be interpreted as a decade-long exploration of meaning in death and the answers to these questions.

    Summary

    15 years have passed since the destruction of Yggdrasil by the Bifrost- Yog-sothoth- whatever you prefer. 15 years since Lyfrassir had to flee their home, and with a shattered heart. 15 years since Marius had to leave behind someone he should have gone back for, and doesn't know if they're alive or dead.

    But neither one of them forgot each other.

    15 years later they come back together.

    Everything fell apart so quickly. Yggdrasil was gone, but Lyfrassir was falling apart too. They weren't sure how to put the pieces back together.

    Summary

    Worn down by nightmares and overwhelmed with existential dread, Lyfrassir Edda crosses paths with the Mechanisms once more, much to their regret. Even worse given one is the violin wielding Marius von Raum. And even worse, is that something’s happening to them that’s more than just nightmares.

    aka, Lyf deals with being marked by the Bifrost, as well feelings for a certain space pirate.
