Why this must be read:

So, I've lulled you into a false sense of security with my last two recs, and now I'm going in for the kill. This one's sad, kids, a post-Colonisation fic. It's bone-deep cold and heartbreak. CazQ's writing is, as ever, lyrical and full of beauty. She weaves here a story about absence and fear and, most of all, love.



The world is uncreated, a sheet of blank paper: purely, coldly white and sterile. Silence presses in on him from every side, a stifling feather blanket weighing heavily on his skin. So much silence; he feels as if the weight of it will cause his skull to crack and cave inwards.

Something in him would welcome that. He can feel it within him, a dark, whispering void hidden deep beneath skin, blood and muscle, nestled in the cage of his bones.

No, no, must not think like that, he reminds himself. He knows that he's got to keep going, just that little bit further. He's got to get to her. Almost there.



Read The Furious Winter.
