I’m glad you liked this. I still don’t feel as if I’ve quite done the idea justice and eventually I’ll hopefully be able to rectify that with a longer piece in keeping with the same continuity as Pathway.
I’ve had a look at your drabble and if I’ve understood it correctly the imagery of Süleyman pulling away Seth’s veil really works wonderfully. She’s uncovered her face already but the idea of the veil tearing is easily loaded with symbolism and certainly makes me think of the Biblical veil of the temple tearing (where it may even have been the Temple of Solomon IIRC).
Feel free to translate this and the other piece. Title-wise I’m tending towards something a little pretentious like “Hieros gamos” for this piece though the title could have worked for the Clow/Yuuko piece too. In which case, in keeping with that theme “Chymical Wedding” would work for the other.
