Description This is Hawkecest, in case you couldn't tell (Marian x Bethany).

Basically, born of a lengthy conversation with the formidable I like to think it makes perfect sense, but it's not very coherent. Nixon in China is the name of an opera by John Adams, and that's where the start and ending quotes are from (from President Nixon's aria "News", to be precise). There's also an unsubtle Morrowind reference near the end. Probably set in the same AU as my Threnodies, but in a vastly different style. Also, necromantic puppy, if you look closely.    

Props to sumenya for the awesome thumbnail image.

o: This is beautiful! I love that the writing is a little abstract, but it makes so much sense. The last bit is my favourite, "you, it's you". Poor, precious Bethany.
The quotes from Nixon in China are perfect too...

Glad you liked it They're still working on it, but give them time and they might heal their wounds.

Also, did you find the necromantic puppy?

I've read it 4 times now. At this point, I think I'm trying to imagine a puppy in every sentence. WHERE IS THE PUPPY
