Summary: "The diener lays him out like a sweet lamb."
Why you should read it: Oh, bring out your dead, for we are here to bury them in this brutal, brilliant fic. It's visceral, disturbing, and horrifying. I loved it! The descriptive, clinical prose hits the reader with unbelievable force, and you feel the weight of a once living body, inhabited by a beloved soul, now just turned to… meat. It's a take on death - its careful, terrible ritual, its cold mechanics -- that we don't often see in fic, and it pushes the envelope of how much 'reality' we can handle.
