Oh...oh my. I feel dizzy after reading this, Thev.
You thrown me from heart-breaking angst to searing aruna and back again. I loved canon!Vaysh, but I think I love yours even more, because you've given him some of the history so desperately needed. I haven't read the Histories yet, so I don't know what Storm touches on in those.
Even if she does fill in gaps for Vaysh and Ashmael, I don't know that even she could weave a tale like you've done here.
I felt dull and unnecessary, a pretty but useless fragment of shell, washed up on a beach.
That line fills me with such melancholy; just wanted to point it out.

Gorgeous, lush, scorching prose. I. DIE.
Hee! You used "tintinnabulate!" ;)
