fic: the lullaby will become a lull

I'm going to start posting fics directly to dreamwidth, I think. I am not going to abandon AO3, because I do like what they stand for, I just hate everything about how they implement it, yknow? So. I'm writing for myself. Trying to remember why I like fannish things, because honestly, it's usually not the fandom.

Title: the lullaby will become a lull
Fandom: Under the Pendulum Sun - Jeanette Ng
Characters: Catherine Helstone, Cathy/Mab, Cathy/Ariel
Rating/Warnings: M
Summary: Sleepless in Pivot, Cathy wishes for Mab, or Ariel, or anything to save her from the endless brass city.

( I tried to sleep. I mixed all the teas I could think of, and no small amounts of Laon's communion wine, salvaged from the chapel at Gethsemane. I knelt on polished metal sheets of gold and prayed until my knees were numb and my eyelids were sandpaper pieces whenever I blinked. )
