[fic rec] The Village trilogy

I love this movie but don't read a lot of fic for it, probably because I find the movie so enchanting I rarely find fic which captures me in the same way. There's a mood, a breathlessness I'm left with while watching the movie, and this trilogy of fic captures that perfectly well.

"How the Blossoms Grow"
Summary: What has been hushed, as silent as red petals laid in earth, and saved.
(A delightful exploration of homosexuality in this world.)

"All the World to See"
Summary: Beginnings and endings always travel hand in hand.

"Crow on the Cradle"
Summary: Wherein time passes, decisions are made, and consequences are discovered.

These stories are beautiful and together build this incredible world and develop characters which didn't get a lot of time during the movie.

OMG!!! You're a The Village fan!

Dude, I thought I was the only one! I literally loathe his other movies, but the Village? Genius. Gorgeous. Sad. I guessed the twist practically from the trailers, like most of my friends, but I didn't care about the fact of the twist, so much as the lead in, the reasons, the consequences.

I'm so bookmarking this page. I was strolling through, looking for fic and reading your slice-of-life type entries (your neighbors? Are awesome) and found a kindred The village Spirit!
