Sort of a sister piece to The Maker and the Beast, as I continue to write shitty love stories of eldritch gods :D

This has a nicely gnostic feel to it; the same story as "Maker and the Beast" from a different perspective. Quite enjoyable.

You made me feel bad for the Sarkic god. c.c That ain't right.

Just an eldritch meat blob that wants some love, after all :D

Even if I hadn't already +1'd for the content of the story, I would have for this rather excellent descriptor.

Wow. Solid upvote there, Clockwork. Never thought I'd shed a tear for Yaldabaoth.

This is such a good tale, a perfect mirror to 'The maker and the Beast'. Just like it, it paints the fleshy/techno mythos of Mekhane and Yaldabaoth. I love the way Yaldy's written here, an understood creature who just 'lives' without much thought put past this, clashing with Mekhane's newfound raison d'etre. It has that tragic tint to it that reads so well.

Again, pretty much a masterpiece. Really love these two tales. +1~
