Summary
There is no need to struggle against the ossified, corpse-stiff embrace—there is nowhere else to go and nowhere else to be. No one left to look for her, to wait for her, or to even lay flowers upon her unmarked grave. No one left to come back to. Only here, only now, this one single endless moment of stillness, already sinking soundlessly into the left behind past. It is so blatantly easy to let her spirit go out like a weak flame of a guttering candle, to let her body stop and give up, allowing her flesh to unravel into the sweet, putrid rot, so something better, simpler can one day grow from her forgotten bones when even the faint and fraying memory of her crumbles to dust like a flake of ash. It would be so easy.
Then again, there has never been anything easy about Carpenter’s life.

Devouring by ianthewife (urbanOddity) for venusiancarbondioxide

Summary
Rane does not dare bite the hand that feeds them—they barely breathe. Can only think about their mother’s soup, the broth poor and thin, the flecks of crab meat pale and miserably sparse, and Katabasian Fleck giving up his body to provide for his people, and Faulkner’s fingers in their mouth as they watch him with soft, guarded hunger burgeoning in the quiet awe of their dark eyes. The words My flesh for your teeth finally leave his holy mouth, and they watch him as if bearing witness to a beatific vision. The way their prophet fails to stifle his laughter with a bite of his lip makes Rane achingly envious of his teeth.

She Danced Until She Didn’t by ianthewife (urbanOddity)

Summary
Val almost misses the moment when her foot slides into far less than perfect and yet somehow distantly familiar dancing position. As her legs straighten on instinct, she can feel her arms lifting in front of her, sloping down from the shoulders and curving gently, bending softly at the elbows. Her rough fingertips touch lightly—it feels electrifying.
Trembling, Val rises up onto her tiptoes. Without opening her eyes, takes the first step and dives into a dance.

Crown Him With Many Crowns by ianthewife (urbanOddity)

Summary
An actor calls for an audience, a miracle begs a witness, and a prophet needs a disciple.
Sibling Rane was made to be a devotee. There is no place where they belong more than on their knees. Their head is meant for bowing. Lips for praying to gods and praising prophets; lovely voice for singing holy hymns. They have hands for building altars—can make such a beautiful monument out of him. Can crown him with so many crowns if Faulkner lets them.
He thinks he might.

Summary
The operating chapel’s raw walls of marbled meat thrum and pulse to the never-ending heartbeat that permeates every inch of the body of Haven. From the glistening red vaulted ceiling, pure, holy blood drips gently into the consecrated lavers. Sacred murals of taut sinews and muscle fibers, entwined together by delicate webbing of blood vessels, twist and shift serenely. Along the walls, rows of tallow candles blaze brightly, beads of melting yellow wax streaking down like fatty tears but never reaching the bone-tiled floor, instead absorbed, consumed back into that great divine body that is everything and everywhere. Rebecca has always felt at her most safe in rooms like these, under the watchful eye of Haven and close enough to her god to touch.
Everything is perfect, everything is ready, and the volunteering donor is already waiting on the surgeon-priestess’s operating table and god’s altar.
