Review:Witnesstoitall says:
The house of Cadmus is cursed. You died, I hide, and Cadmus became.

When I first read that line in the summary of this fic, I was intrigued. Intrigued but confused. Now after reading this whole one shot, it fits so perfectly into place, that I question how I ever was confused by it.

I'd like to start out this review by quoting several of your passages:

"And I have escaped once Death, look'd it straight in the face, Cadmus said hanging onto the stirrup as his horse dragged him along. And I said to the beast you give to me something that I can use to defeat you, I said. And Death let me pass he did, and I defeated Death that day.

It took her twenty-seven turns of the moon to die but die she did and Cadmus, once the Conquerer of Death, the Generalisimo of Fate, felt cheated and robbed and torn apart from the inside: his galleon, his boon, his love was lost to the forces he failed to lampoon.

The house of Cadmus is cursed but the hands of Cadmus are gifts, and Cadmus turned a stone from the bank of the Great River, the River upon which Death had failed and Cadmus had won, into a smooth, faceted surface over the course of many weeks. The power of Death is nothing to the power of three, and so three times Cadmus turned the stone in his hand, eagerly, once again, escaping his fate.


Each of these passages retell a tall told in canon, but in an artful and careful way that it was difficult to pick apart where your artistic vision of this story began and canon ended. WHICH IS AWESOME AND A HALF. Wonderfully written!!
I'm not sure how to describe the style here, but it was dark and almost poetic in its sort of languid description.

Really, I'm glad you like this oneshot, because really, you should!!
