Summary
Once upon a time there lived three brothers who took three women as wives. The eldest was a serrated knife that left flesh raw and ragged. The middle a slender needle so sharp that no one noticed it piercing through the heart until it was too late. And the youngest was a battering ram that splintered all that came into her path. Three women who shared nothing in this world except a single wish for power beyond measure. And a curse that would keep them from it by any means.

Summary
As December rolled around, it was the same angels that led her back through the forest. They chided her gently, falling to the wind as it swept across the mountain. The same angels were hidden in the gaps of snow, wings drawn from the dirt beneath the hollows. She breathed life into the halos even as her insides bled and burned, blood coating the inside of her mouth.
––-
In which Fosca ponders the condition of love, death and the nature of one's own end.

This story was my baby for a long time and I still have a lot of fondness for it. I couldn't have done it without mesoterica, who was my amazing beta and one-woman cheerleading squad throughout the process.
