3 and 18?
wahhhh thank you for spoiling me 0:)
3. favorite line/scene you wrote this year
I'll do a few faves as it was very hard to pick lol:
from Comme un ange enivré d'un soleil radieux, a Cytherea/Dulcie missing-scene darkfic: "When she was younger and her health was not so poor, Dulcie had been taken to one of the wonders of the House of the Seventh: the atmospheric gardens at Patmos. Amid the dripping ranks of alien inflorescences, gathered from the jungles of a hundred shepherd planets, she had craned her neck up in her wheelchair beneath the great plex dome to see. . ."
from Proverbs 22:15, a Harrow/Ortus (and sublimated Griddlehark) evangelical-Christian AU about misogyny & child abuse: "She was a tall kid. She begged your parents to pay for her JV equipment fees when the foster program would not. She shaved the back of her skull in the upstairs bathroom, and bore the consequences so nobly that you wept with rage to see her so ill-used. Rotten floor; the smell of mildew. . ."
from νυκτὶ θοῇ ἀτάλαντος [like sudden night], a Wake-in-the-River missing scene and character study: "The zombies were right. Going home to Eden, the many becoming one, our steady rain of spirit falling until the blasted land blooms back to life: all bullshit. Every ancestor I lit the joss for; every Edenite whose name I took. We’re all just a logjam of putrid bodies, dissolving into God’s leach field. Wherever Pyrrha Dve is, she must be fucking laughing."
from to see the world without us, how it churns and blossoms, a Harrow-grieves-Gideon field biology AU: "Even the entomological work she was doing was the death of millions. The hungry rubber trunk of the aspirator sucked the fleeing treehopper and crane fly into its inescapable belly, jars belching cyanide, fine muslin meshed over the exit. Each pitfall trap yawned like a miniature Styx, antifreeze-sweet, in which all small things must drown. Her brains were boiling. And this was repeated at scale the whole world over, unimaginably vast, with a rising scream as it was murdered and dismembered one piece at a time. . ."
from Mercy Call, my Griddlehark hurt/comfort Harrow Nova AU: "'It’s my duty,' Harrow said, face numb; 'I’m your cavalier.' 'I didn’t say, all a cavalier should be. I said, all you should be. And if you think that’s my duty, to use you?' Gideon’s expression was black and mutinous. She looked like the teenager she was. 'Then I guess you’re right about me—I’m gonna blow off that one, too.' Harrow did not know what to say to that, nor to the girl who had said it. She was an empty sarcolith, the heavy lid leaning against the open coffin: she was a blade without a scabbard. She felt hollow. At the very center, a tiny fleck of light glowed gold. . ."
thanks again for indulging me I'm rotten at picking ^_^ I also restricted it to only TLT fics as that's our mutual fandom, I had a few other faves from other fandoms/original work but it would have gotten way too out of control. look how much effing griddlehark i write lmao are u not entertained.....????
