[fic wip] ghostlands (inktober 2024, wintersberg dark fantasy AU)

finally remembered to post this here lol. the bulk of this wip was written earlier this year & then i added an additional scene for like...i think it was day three of inktober? prompt was 'boots.' the original inspo for this AU is...not something anyone will ever guess lmao, not unless i were to tell you outright; there's really not much in common beyond uhhhh swords.

the fun thing about writing this one has been the worldbuilding, which i honestly wasn't expecting to have to do much of and then i ended up 1) writing poetry and 2) coming up with a folktale on the fly. was having fun with it tho :p

quick warning for: gross bugs (parasites)
