easily my favorite so far. i hope you freaking win.
the gruesome flowery writing in the chess got me good, every elaborate prose choice was building something. actually pulled me in more than the stuff before.
you dug into the gorror ideas really thoroughly, rly good how we felt fairy's living reaction to things. yummy yummy sense of her intense sensations nonstop. the surreal way big things look to her, awesome.
cheering at the team-up... cathartic...
ending kinda missed for me. does all that stuff rly happen? not sure it feels satisfying if it does... but it feels more like a desperate hope before she gets splattered...
