A Sailorman's Hymn, by VastDerp, (T)
Fandom: HOMESTUCK
Pairing: The Signless / The Psiioniic
Length: 25.5k
Author on LJ: n/a
Author Website: On AO3 / On Tumblr
Why this must be read: Vast Derp writes a great blend of poignant emotional drama and really well-thought-out science fiction elements. He never ignores one for the other. This is a love story about two ghosts on a spaceship, basically, and one of the best Ancestor-era fics around.
Someone screams again, and the lights go out. Somewhere, a computer is droning on and on with a pattern of beeps and alarm tones. In the movies, there would be guards racing around with weapons drawn, hunting the mutantblood discovered in their midst. This place remains empty. Not a movie, not a memory. Something new.
The Sufferer shrugs and enters the ship.
