Chimera

An Archive of Our Own, a project of the Organization for Transformative Works

Julie, the headmistress of a finishing school for young ladies and a respected figure of high society, allows herself a rare indulgence — to attend a private gathering where propriety is left at the door. She remains coolly detached, watching the decadence unfold with a trace of amusement, until she recognizes one of the courtesans — a former pupil of her own. Alcohol and a rush of memories cloud her judgment... and what now lies in foreign hands awakens something dangerously personal within her.

Julie only meant to check on Olivia—just for a moment, just to say goodnight and make sure she was all right. She came to offer comfort… but at some point, it became hard to tell who needed it more.

“I had a taste for skins, voices, all that’s sensual. And then a touch. My hands were always very present. I gathered things and beings to my heart and made them my own body.” - Edwige Feuillère

"Their bodies were pressed so closely that there was nothing left between them — no air, no doubts."

Chapter 2✨

[marlaard]

Edwige Feuillère is a true enigma. Almost all her images are in black and white, but in my portrait, I brought color to her beauty and drama. This work holds a piece of love, strength, and even the challenges I have faced. It’s my colorful view of her mystery and tragedy—a tribute to the beauty and resilience I feel in her, and in myself.

Le Blé en Herbe (1954)

“Leaning on her elbows, apparently distracted, Madame Dalleray felt the presence of the young man lying behind her, and carried the weight of a wish that never left her.”
