I got Winterlong world-building fic!

It is AMAZING.

I love Winterlong because it's about a place I used to live (Washington DC) in all its dark, primal, haunted feeling (really, DC has a lot of ghosts stories for a reason; the place feels other, and huge and powerful at night and it has very little to do with what we've built there), in some horrible ruined future where the past is, as the past always is, misunderstood: people believe the Egyptians built the Great Obelisk and they talk about how people pray to the Sorrowful Lincoln who watches over the Narrow Forest; a society of whores greats each other with the ASL sign for W pressed to their lips. It's just this great book, about dark post-apocalyptic things, with a hundred little in-jokes (that aren't funny at all) about a very weird place.

And ANYWAY, I got this fic that gets its poetry and hauntedness and is all about Death and mythology is just SO DAMN COOL.

Wow. I'm not worthy. So fucking fantastic. Thank you author!
