One of the most realistic depictions of a common trope. A painful and alienating begining which unfolds eventually into the passionate love based on mutual respect of E/D

Summary
One of the women at his brothel who’d helped raise him was from Lys. She worshipped a love god named Yndros that was both male and female at once, and she was the most beautiful woman in all of Oldtown, or so Satin thought when he was seven. Once, he’d asked her how you were supposed to pray to Yndros, and she smiled serenely and said in a fading accent, “You don’t, sweetling. You just have to allow yourself to love and be loved. That’s what prayer is.” She dabbed at his nose with a cloth. “When we love, boy, that’s the gods speaking back to us. In their sweet tongues.”
She was killed in an alley a year later.
Satin finds himself in a precarious new position. If it weren't such an honour, it might prove desperately inconvenient.Bookmarked by TalpaCatella
