Banished, But Not Alone

Summary:

"Alone is your way now," her leader had said.
But he was wrong.

Notes:

I have no idea why AO3 thinks this drabble 101 words. Microsoft Word says it's 100 words, and I also counted 100 words "by hand" after this was posted up, and AO3 says 101. Wrong, AO3. Wrong.

Hey, people! Apparently Microsoft/Bing translator is a thing, and you can translate to Inuktitut! :O I don’t know how good it really is, or if it’s the correct dialect/spelling for Nunavut – but hey, I’m going with it!

My usual thanks to Drac for introducing me to The Terror over two years ago. (I was a year late, grrrr….). Oh – and read their fics, people; you’re in for a treat!

I don't own any “characters” as realized in AMC’s The Terror. They belong to AMC, the producers, writers, actors, and anyone else who ever had anything to do with the TV programme.

I’m not making any money with this, that’s for sure.

This is Fiction – and that’s a Fact!

(And don't you just love when front notes are longer than the actual fic?) 🤣

(See the end of the work for more notes.)

Work Text:

 

In her snow house on a frigid night, Silna feels a sudden warmth.

She smiles and sighs.  Nothing to fear; these visits have occurred nightly since she was banished.

The sensation of gentle fingertip caresses against both cheeks.  Words spoken in a low, comforting whisper:  “Unnukkut, Silna. Tamaaniippunga, quviasuktungalu takujariaksaq,” followed by, “Good Evening, Silna. I’m here, and I’m so happy to see you.”  A soft and lingering pressure upon her lips.  Then, in a tender embrace, she’s fully enveloped by his presence.   

“Alone is your way now,” her leader had said. 

But he was wrong.

She has Harry Goodsir.  

 

 

 

Notes:

There are several ways this could be interpreted. My own "vision" with this is that Harry Goodsir's ghost/spirit is visitng Silna, and that she's not imagining it. I also don't think this leads to otherwordly/ghostly sex.

But that's ultimately up to you!

Thank you for reading!
