Waiting for the Barbarians

Description

All monsters were once human. And perhaps all monsters could become human. 

Foreword

Hey guys! I'm (finally) back with the second installment of my three part series where I write about themes, and give less emphasis on love. This specific story may seem a little "out there"; I emphasise a lot more on feelings and emotions, and I try to use some techniques like motifs and contrast a little more, resulting in a large change in my writing style for this story. 

As I have mentioned before, if these kind of stories are not your cup of tea, then please do check my other stories that are a little more regular. 

 

 

P.S.: Yes, I have appropriated the title of this story from JM Coetzee's book of the same name, though the subject focus of his book and this fanfic are vastly different.

I usually don’t read aoa and idk if you’re still active anymore but this was beautiful

Speaking as a writer, it’s the kind of thing I always wanted to write, something about morality and the struggle not to become the villain, but as a reader, I enjoyed seeing the character development :3

Chapter 1: Another deep story for shallow people like me!
To kill yourself to live,to become what you despise to survive. So to survive in this society you become what you loathe ,destroying yourself from the insides to adapt. To Yuna, death would mean freedom or at least the best option to her.After all the stronger dictates the weaker.And it's also touching that a mother would do anything for her daughter even if it means to betray her body!
I really lIke your style of writing! Please continue writing fics :)
