Summary: A life told in visits to the Houses of the Night Court.
Reccer’s Notes: A D’Angeline OC narrator uses the houses of the Night Court as his lifelong vehicle for exploration of the mysteries of love, sex, sensuality, imagination, joy, sorrow, health, infirmity, bereavement, spirituality, and mortality.
(Mandrake and Valerian are conspicuously absent; on a Watsonian level, the narrator knows his tastes don’t run that way, and on a Doylist level, the canon thoroughly details what goes on there.) The Kushiel Saga is an immersive universe that implies a far bigger, older, and richer world beyond the borders of the story at hand, and this is one of those fics that jumps off the narrative Tour Bus and evades the Tour Guide to investigate the mazy side streets and Parts Unknown off the main canon path, with Edonohana as your Anthony Bourdain and a cast of OCs worthy of their own book.
(And each House’s interpretation of love, sex, and spirituality contains its own complexities: you might be surprised by where the sweaty grunting mud-wrestling match takes place. Or the Tentacle Hentai scenario. Or how Heliotrope reconcile their motto “Thou, and no other” with sex work.)
