The weapons
that were once outside
sharpening themselves on war
are now indoorsLudwig fell asleep alone that night, but dreamed of Feliciano. It was not one of his usual dreams, mismatched and twisted scenes of his wakeful hours. It was not one of his less usual dreams, where he is a small child and Feliciano is in a dress and he wakes crying and unremembering ( ... )

This piece sends a chill down my spine. It's so sad, so frightening and at the same time it fills me with wonder at how you managed to write such a moving piece.

I really look forward to part 2.

OP here, and oooh, I like what I'm seeing. Love how you've reworked the opening of the book. Can't wait to see where you take this!

all your word-
plays, calculated ploys

attempts to keep me

and (at length) avoid
admitting I am hereThe old man had sat and ordered by the time Eiríkur Lóðirsson arrived. A pot of filtered coffee was waiting for them both. For Eiríkur, the old man had ordered sild and rugbraud. For himself, a side of meat, still bloody and as raw as the restaurant dared to serve it. Eiríkur didn’t want to know what kind of meat it was ( ... )

Just to clarify: Eiríkur Lóðirsson is Iceland; Roald is Norway. I will eventually put up full notes explaining these names.

Thanks for the clarification on the names; I had a feeling, but it was good to see them confirmed.

Heh, Odin and Iceland! Very nice work.

I'm a huge fan of Neil Gaiman's works, and I love what I've read here so far. There even seems to be a Gaiman-ish feel to it - not completely, but just enough to evoke the book's world, and I'm terribly curious to see how the nations tie in with their gods.

The All-Father looked at him seriously. He raised his mead in a silent toast to his almost-son and swallowed it in one gulp. “America is a bad place for gods,” he said, eventually, slowly, and carefully. “And Canada is even worse.”

Oh, this line really got me! I hope you do more with this. I'd love to see America and Canada, perhaps Whiskey Jack?

I saw "redhead" and went YES YES YES HOLY FUCKING GOD YES (In great irony, which I only realized afterwards).

And the fact that Shā Wùjìng was described, if not named, in the original (and described traditionally) makes me wonder about the nature of perception and belief and how it affects them...

Saiyuki reference~! FTW!!! XDDD The image of Sha Gojyo, I mean, Shā Wùjìng groping China will never leave my mind....

a memorizer
of names (to hold
these places
in their proper places)

There was a boy who did not grow up until his twin sister died, wrote Mr Ibis, eyes tired from the examination of dead gods.

He is a man now, that new feeling of grief ageing him so he could stand on his own. His sister is dead, and he has inherited her land because she would give it to no one but him. She was Ta-Mehu and he was Ta-Shemau, and then he became Kemet because he could not bear to be Ta-Shemau alone. Now he is Gupta because he could not be Kemet and defeated.

Time heals all wounds, said a human, though who this was is now lost. This is incorrect. Time does not heal any wounds at all. It is the body that heals wounds, churning out protein and clotting factors to knit broken flesh together into a semblance of what it once was. Time is simply the measure at how long it takes for the body and mind to form scar tissue over past hurts. Without it, we could not tell how long it takes for ourselves to put ourselves back together into something near to whole ( ... )
