I knew I was going to love this fic as soon as I read the opening paragraphs:
Red and black. The pain of the old wound had been red and black. The red of each heartbeat, focusing in with an inexorable throb-throb around and inside the livid gash. The black had been starless but still pinpricked with flashes of light behind his eyelids, as the dark lurked and waited for him. This pain was different. It was white hot and sharp as the knives that had opened him once again, new incisions on old scars, and reason had all but left him. He wanted to flee from the incessant pain as an animal might run from fire; he wanted to claw at his own flesh and rip it away, if it meant he had but a moment's respite from the agony.

THIS IMAGERY, THESE LINES ARE SO BEAUTIFUL <333

Thank you so much ♥ The 'red and black' is from the book (which you probably know already) when Marcus first gets hit by the chariot, so I wanted to develop from that and figure out how the surgery pain would feel compared with it - I'm so happy you think it worked! :D

I am so excited b/c I just found this fic. I skimmed the first chapter and can hardly wait to truly read it and the rest of the fic. I have to go to work now, but I know this will waiting for me when I get home. I can hardly wait to savor this--- not just skim. Too bad I have to go to work first.

Oh, thank you very much. I do hope you enjoy the rest of the story - well, what there is so far. There's still a lot left for me to write!
