this also means that my piece, do you feel strong?, is now up on ao3!!! lets go kodeira nation ...... who wanna read a character study about possession and the loss of free will . i know I DO !!!!!!!!!

a lil sample for u:

The beginning of it all isn’t Oksana— not her journey to the shoreside, or her life before, or her continued survival. The beginning isn’t the end of the world, the great big death that swallowed everyone whole, that left a handful of people to fester beneath the toxic waste, cockroaches in the walls of an abandoned house, scuttering. The beginning isn’t the split in time, isn’t the voice from the future, isn’t the beach in another universe, where there’s no storm, where the water isn’t poison.

The beginning of it all happened a thousand, thousand years ago, when a little girl hid in the grass and tricked God into jumping. The beginning of it is roadkill— the beginning is a beached whale. The beginning was trapped in black, glossy bones, dried by the sun, eroded into rock, into ore. The beginning starts with a partial death. The beginning starts with a desperate grab for life.

The beginning of it all is Kodeira.
