    Summary

    There is no exit to this city, you see.

    So when you leave him behind, it is not in retreat, but abdication of a throne. In the abjection of a corpse. He is a dead thing now, playing at life, with a crown of twisted good intentions cutting into his brow. Maybe he always was. This unholy thing. You're never quite certain.

    But you will not glorify the martyr you made.


    And I stare at the soldiers before me
    All my blossoms that have waited to fall
    And I walk, and I walk
    And I walk, and I walk
    Knowing every last one of them is painted in light
    As I make myself acquainted with the saint of never getting it right

    Summary

    Clancy of Dema was born to die. His purpose was determined by the knife placed into his infant hand, promised to the priests of Vialism that rule the Sacred Municipality, like all others who shelter within its walls. He does not fear purpose. Why would he? Life's kingdom is nothing but grey walls and a certainty that he will always be incomplete.

    There are poems written on his bedposts. Melodies turning over in the bus engines. Choruses whispered in his footsteps. They, too, are incomplete, but they are anything but grey. The hum of wonder haunts Clancy.

    And beyond the walls of Dema shines a yellow star.

    Summary

    Terzo is serving a death sentence.

    It isn’t like he had much of a choice.

    He remembers the game night clearly. The typical arguments and accusations of cheating had subsided and it was a rare moment of fun and relaxation with his brothers.

    The next thing he remembers is waking up on a gurney and gasping for air. They told him his brothers were dead. They told him they had removed his head for a photoshoot and then reattached it again. They gave him a choice: die now or take their money and never speak to them again.

    Summary

    So, how are you coping with the horrors? I'm coping by writing a series of Ghost fics that are terribly sweet, self-indulgent, fantasy-riddled exercises in madness. Join me in a world where all the brothers are alive, everything is beautiful, and nothing hurts.

    Bookmarker's Notes

    Every word is utter perfection. Each reader character is precious and unique, her own brand of powerful and divine. And the Papas themselves? Don’t even get me started, they are all so rich and luscious and wholly dedicated to their wives. Your honor this series deserved to be printed on gold and preserved for eternity.

    Summary

    Papa V Perpetua's first show is, by all accounts, a tremendous success. The only thing is, he keeps coming back for costume changes looking more and more exhausted, and he won't tell you why.
