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.

Just as an FYI for people, it's also available at Gossamer here:
http://tooms.gossamer.org/cgi-bin/display.php?FuriousWinter.CazQ

Just because the author's site has some popups and not the worlds best ads on the side bar there

Thanks for this rec-I've never read it and I love post-Col!

unfortunately you can't access direct links on gossamer. but yes, all of CazQ's stuff is there.

my proxy server blocks most ads, so i confess i don't see most of them. glad you liked the fic, though. :)

I know that's usually the case with Goss, but for whatever reason, that link works! I have no idea why, but it's good.
