Story 113: "Fathoms Five" by Penumbra
Fathoms Five was first nominated in September of last year by ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
scarletbaldy, and then again about a month ago by antfarmponies. It's been suggested to me informally a couple of times, too. I had hesitated to post it for a number of reasons, not the least of which is that the subject matter is profoundly disturbing.
Yes, THAT IS A WARNING. Email or PM me if you need more specific information before reading this story.
But it's a major work, by a major writer. It's also her best work, in my humble opinion, and I hope we can do it justice. I don't want to say anything more specific for fear of giving away too much. As always, there will be spoilers in the comment threads.
Penumbra's planning to let her website go down soon (sob, I know, another one), so I'm also linking to her journal. Of course, the story is archived at Gossamer, too.
Again, this story contains disturbing material that might be triggering.
At her website, "Fathoms Five." EDIT: This version has a warning that is a spoiler.
And, at her journal: Part One, Part Two. EDIT: This version has no warning posted.
As always, leave feedback for the author, and then come back for discussion. Suggestions for next time may be left at the nomination post.
