The Last Stage of Grief Is Drowning by CountessCornflower

Summary
That’s how you see time’s passing you by; your hair grows. And like history, we cut it off at the length we like and leave the rest on the floor.
It has been ten years since Gennaro saved Teresina from the depths of the Neapolitan Gulf and the two have lived happily together as husband and wife ever since. Meanwhile, Giovanina's and Teresina's friendship has been falling apart, due to Giovanina's feelings for Gennaro - and because of the forbidden secret she shared with Teresina when they were teenagers. But when suddenly, the Gulf claims Gennaro's life, leaving Teresina alone in her grief, Giovanina feels herself slowly circling back to her old friend who has given up on all her will to live, because now they have both loved and lost, and perhaps love and loss are things that should tie two women together rather than tearing them apart.

Summary
The mountains don’t know what lies behind them, but she knows, even without looking back, that in the direction from which she came she’s left only rubble and fallen bodies decomposing into the ground, soiling the water there; it will taste bitter for years to come. Rats will emerge triumphant from it. Bats will fill the sky. War means victory for no one, except the very landscape that fostered it.
Over the course of a year, the Amazon travels from the battlefields to her native village, through rough terrain, across mountains, contemplating the life that follows the fight and what exists in the ruins of all structures. Will she be able to rise from the rubble with the help of her allies, the horse and the wolf? And will it welcome her, the normalcy that her village and her love, waiting there, offer? Takes place post-poetry collection.

Summary
This is the story of that kid from elementary school that Elio met fifteen years later at a seedy gay bar on the outskirts of Rome. More than that, though, it's the story of Elio, seven-eight years after Oliver. More than anything, it's the story of Elio after everything.

Summary
My brother is only one more king in a row of many, and as we have judged our kings before, I am waiting for this one to likewise lose his head along with his sceptre. If it requires that Allaux must burn to the ground in a second, a third, a fourth revolution, so be it. My freedom relies on those hands loosening their grip and on these walls crumbling around me; as such, I am simply preparing to be very far from here, when it is done.
Germaine Dupont has written a manifesto against all men, but in particular she has written a manifesto against her brother.

Humility by CountessCornflower
Fandoms: Die Kameliendame | Lady of the Camellias - Chopin/Neumeier
18 Dec 2022
Tags
Summary
Yes, my name will be hers. “Manon to Marguerite”. The man himself wrote it in flourished script on the first page of my story. Humility, he wrote, and I still think, whose? That word is foreign to women like Marguerite Gautier and me. That word means nothing, it is naught but worthless promises. As in reality all promises are. At the end of things.
Marguerite came to know Manon through theatre and literature, but Manon came to know Marguerite first. And she describes her in detail, and she describes her well.
