Very beautiful story. I love the body horror and gore of it, as well as Maelyn’s despair. The way Eric seems to follow her no matter where she goes, the way that even in finding this new mission for herself she still ends up forced and alone (depending on the ending I guess). Starling is extremely cute and sweet. His limited speaking makes him only more monstrous and darling. Both art and writing work really well together, enhancing one another. I imagined the process of them making that wing in so much detail. Thank you for this wonderful story.
