Swallowing the Brimstone
with artist: @blackstar
and artist: @tilliquoi
In his father’s stead, Thane has been tasked with protecting the valuable fortress of Iron Town, but between wolf gods, demon curses, Star Clan, and the Aranei Empress, every choice leads to bloodshed. Alongside Thane are three warriors: Maka, a cursed princess exiled from her home; Black Star, an assassin who must kill a god to earn his independence; and Mifune, a mercenary who must protect a young girl. Together, these four people are tasked with walking a path that few have ever dared, chosen by the gods to see with eyes unclouded. A Princess Mononoke AU.
Pairings: Endgame Black*Star/Death the Kid, Soul/Maka. Various implied. This isn’t a romance.
Rating: R
Warnings: Violence, blood/gore, cannibalism, adult situations, race-wide persecution/abuse/genocide, main character death

Please give them all the feedback in the world. I can’t convey how much they’ve done for me.
Hello, I am Marsh of Sleep, and I tried to resbang 2015!
Aaaand I didn’t quite make it. If you thought I was dead, you were almost right– but if I hadn’t joined resbang as an author last year, there is no way this story would exist.
This fic is entirely the result of the amazing partners I’ve had through the event, and I could not have done it without them. Every single member of the #dreamteam has been fundamental to the completion of this story, no take-backs. Thank you for sticking with me past the deadline, guys. You’ve worked so hard and I am both proud and tremendously honored.
Huge thanks to all of my betas: Adorabbey, Adulterclavis, Darkpurply, Fabulousanima, Sojustifiable, Thebrightestfell, Victoriapyrrhi, and Zxanthe. Please pretend tumblr let me tag you all.
Special thanks to raining-down-hearts for ‘Fallen Star’, and to everyone else who supported me these several months, encouraging me to finish despite everything else going on in my life.
Please enjoy this little beast we’ve created.
