I read this on my phone and had to get up and get my keyboard because I have THINGS TO SAY.
aaaaaaAAAAA I LOVE THIS SO MUCH. This is everything I love about Heavensward-era fic and Ishgard fic in general. You can feel the cold and the dreariness of it, cloaking every word. Your prose is always lovely but I'm especially struck by the merging of Estelline's matter-of-fact narration and the longing she still holds, for Ishgard and Artoriel alike.
I love the inclusion of the Warrior of Light, of Prih, as both enigma and familiar soul, because truly what a great parallel for Estelline's own struggles. I love how Prih seems both larger than life and so terribly small even in these brief glimpses.
AND AAAAAAA I LOVE ALL THESE GPOSES, the new depth of field options STAY WINNING. The pain and hurt in her eyes is so obvious.
i'm truly in love with your prose though, it's so luscious. i want to eat it all up.
