#dithyramb

[wren-anastazia]

Dionysus,

God of in-betweens and outsiders,

and,

Perhaps,

my heart

I find you in bottles of

vodka and heavy eyeliner

and musical theatre songs

That I sing at the top of my

lungs.

Dionysus,

Beautiful and wild

And wonderful

I’ve seen you on

The steps of the quad and

in my theatre and in

The pronoun pin I wear over my heart

You are calling my name

(You are calling Dionysus)

And I am singing your praises

(I’m praising myself.)

Your divine spirit inspires and enthralls me and I am lost, lost, lost and I am found in you.

Fic Rec: Dithyramb

Snarry. M. 1k.

Atonement is a bacchanal affair.

danpuff notes: I cannot express the joy I felt waking up Wednesday morning to an AO3 "A Gift Work For You" email! And for it to be from an author whose work I've fallen so in love with recently!

This is a story about atonement. Not punishment meted out by others, but atonement taken on by a man determined to pay the price of his sins. It is dirty, determined work. And yet...there are things to push forward for.

There is something very sad, but also very powerful, in that need to pay the price of past sins. And there is great joy in seeing it through. And joy in letting go of the burdens that have weighed you down. And joy in reaching for the things (or, the one) one desires. Celebration to be had in being able to live.

Not to mention the author's writing is just plain gorgeous.
