Deluge || 'Castlevania: Order of Ecclesia' Fic
(Cover made by me) When I started writing the original version in January 2012 I swore to myself that I would finish what has turned into a half million word monstrosity. I intend now, after a three year hiatus due to a medical crisis, to finally fulfill that promise.
Rating: M Archive Warnings: Graphic Depiction of Violence Central Themes: Living with and recovering from trauma and growing up in a cult. Extensive character study of someone who was essentially a child soldier. Romantic/queer awakening. Overcoming bigotry and homophobia. Relationships: Shanoa/Laura, Shanoa and Albus as siblings Summary: In the aftermath of Dracula’s death, Shanoa finds herself locked in a grief-stricken struggle between what she is and who she wants to become. She takes refuge in Wygol, and a blossoming friendship gives way to a journey that will change her life forever. But as they begin to confront the past one truth makes itself evident: some demons can't be buried. [ao3 link]
Now that the Dominus Collection has been out for a while, and more people have been able to finally play what I unequivocally think is the best Castlevania game of all time, that I can help spread the good word of one of my favorite obscure ships of all time. And, of course, give people an aftermath to the story that's worthy of the source material. Please note that this fic covers not only post-canon but pre-canon as well.
