Pillar of Stillness by PerpetuaLilium
Fanwork Notes
A few general notes and warnings, since this is something of a departure for me:
The main inspirations (probably not all of which actually show in the text) are Eliot’s ‘Ash-Wednesday’, Messiaen’s Quartet pour la fin du temps, the Lotus Sutra, and some other things that I don’t wish to discuss right now. This became really personal as I was writing it.
I think there might be even more odd usages and turns of phrase than usual.
A certain feature of Tar-Míriel’s beliefs as presented here is one that I’m a little worried about upsetting people. I don’t hold it myself but the idea really grabbed me hard once I’d had it.
HUGE TRIGGER WARNING FOR SUICIDAL IDEATION, though I wasn't sure whether to use the actual 'suicide' warning itself.
The website may or may not present this as if it is part of a series of which it is not a part. This has happened before and I'm told it's not an unheard-of glitch.
