Ardelian said, I would love you if you were a worm.

Absolutely gorgeous chapter -- the reflections on life and death and decay, the haunted bacchanal, Ardelian finally allowing himself to want and need, Vane meeting him with so much tenderness and care. Ardelian keeps offering himself up to be sacrificed, but Vane wants to cherish him instead.

From repressed to exhibitionist, so this truly is Victor's slut era. I liked a lot of the description in this chapter. And how the events feel a little mysterious and unexplained, since Victor seems past the point of writing off things that obviously happened as dreams, but there's still a sense of unreality with that scene with Vane. Not sure how to describe the feeling, like it was some sort of vision, where it all happened and the actions have significance/consequences, but not on the same layer of reality as the rest of the story.

Also I like it when characters with big wings basically wrap them around someone like Vane did, wing hug. I bet that birdsong felt pretty gay to you Victor. No idea what's going to happen next.
