Oh, thank you! I've always had a soft spot for Sora do Ladem, but you took her and made her into a real person, which i think is just undeniably cool. The atmosphere of this piece is great, too: as artaxastra said, it's that feeling of stories made into stories made into stories, echoes on echoes, the shapes of things reverberating through time. And I love this bit -
Riadne got his powers from knowing the universe; from peeking under her skirt and watching her work. She was made of crystal and light and metal and absence. His hands worked their magic and she gave herself to him, gave him her secrets so he could make her bend and sway and recreate herself.
- and the culture you've created for these people. Tinkers and Dokters and Growers, oh my! It's all very rich.
