Summary:

Fanart for She Waits In Ruin by ianthewife, as part of The Silt Verses Big Bang 2025.

Inspired specifically by this line:
"She who used to be Sister Carpenter who used to be Mallory Glass who once upon a time used to be somebody’s daughter and sister lies, curled up like a pitiful child, in the hollow of a rotten away carcass, the bones of the ribcage curling over her finally laid to rest head like the vault of a skeletal cathedral."

Work Text:

Carpenter curled up within the ribcage of The Cairn Maiden. Her skeletal form has many limbs, a pair of which she uses to bend her cracked skull inward to stare at Carpenter. Both of them are entirely shrouded by a thin veil, visible because of light emanating from Carpenter. The colour palette and lighting is suggestive of burial.
