Everything, even herself, was now unbearable to her. She wished that, taking wing like a bird, she could fly somewhere, far away to regions of purity, and there grow young again.

“His Heart” by Christiane Cegavske

[etromdthu]

It really rubs me the wrong way how many b*rakhovsky fanworks feature Nara/a herb bride killed by Artemy as a romantic moment between him and Daniil, mostly due to the fact that he harvests a heart for Daniil to study (but also not always; see Nara quest in p2 which is a religious offering and different in tone). I am usually frustrated with how instrumental the treatment of women is, mostly in fics; Lara taking care of the children for them, Eva's suicide being a reason Daniil needs comfort, often hookups in Stillwater without the presence of its hostess, and all that, but man, that Nara stuff is making me truly upset. Artemy kills her! And her sister is begging you to check on her before that happens, frightened for her, knowing she'll do anything for Artemy, and Daniil is taken aback since he was promised no one would suffer (naively, if I might add); and to turn that moment of a very cruel death (Nara never wished to die for science!) into a romantic fanart/fic between two men truly makes me miserable. Worse, sometimes it's treated as a quirky moment between the two. I wish I could put this into words better, perhaps one day I will, but I just had a reaction to an old fanart and needed to scream into the void (my blog).
