Fic: Feathers and Wax
Title: Feathers and Wax
Fandom: Sunless Sea
Major Characters/Pairings: The Tireless Mechanic
Wordcount: 100
Rating: PG
POV: Third person
Summary: The Tireless Mechanic dreams of engines. The powers of the Neath have dreams of their own.
Notes: Originally written as a giftfic for Silvereye on AO3
When the Mechanic dreams at all, he dreams of engines.
After the Geode, those dreams took on a trace of dawn’s radiance; the Mountain left them touched by gentler light, and the East with yearning. He remembers the Venturer at the Gate, and the frozen path opening. Everything down here, it seems, hopes one day to fly.
He has schematics, now, and equations scrawled in burning alphabet; he’ll craft a machine fit to traverse the stars.
(He knows the fate of those who try, but heartmetal and steel are stronger than wax and feathers, and he will not be deterred.)
