hi hi very curious about antidote for the ask game 👀
[rubs hands together gleefully]
Antidote is The Fucky Puzzleshiping Fic - I posted a preview of this one a little while ago here. Deeply indulgent, gory and metaphysical and codependent body horror (and also just a lil weird Puzzle magic.) Body horror as sex, and also body horror Just Because. I keep struggling with the intro and ending, but boy howdy are the body horror bits there (body horror and gore cw):
Their chests press together and their skin bunches and pulls before merging like wet clay. Their epidermal nerves sizzle as they scrape together, sparking like stripped copper wires. Their legs tangle together, then twine, the sound of their femurs snapping as they twist together cacophonous. Bone shards jut and foaming marrow spurt out of their joined skin, briefly, before folding back into the twisting morass of flesh. The tibulas and fibulas soon follow, cracking at a higher pitch. The hall around them begins to crumble, soundlessly. The doors of their soul rooms dislodge from their mooring, floating away from the dissolving brickwork. Somewhere, as their collarbones begin to twine, dull mechanical sounds thud, puzzle pieces scraping into ever stranger configurations. The more they push the magic that holds their bodies together, the more the reality of the space within the Puzzle begins to break down. Which means they’re close. More.
