Summary
People, it turns out, are horny for depression. Or maybe it’s that people are horny for depressed gods. Or maybe enduring betrayal on a literally cosmic scale makes people hotter. Or maybe the death drive is real, and the many-tongued abyss’s breath is still thick in your hair, and it makes everyone want to move closer and take a big, deep whiff. Or maybe you’re God, and they’re scared.
Or: John Gaius meets his daughter, remembers the women he left behind, and deals poorly with being the male god of a universe in which the divine is essentially feminine.

the soul that seeketh him
You lift the dead girl’s eyelid and find your own lost lights, frosted with death. Jesus. She’s the grandmother, the daughter, the holy ghost, and the soil they lived and died upon.

Amazing voice for Gaius, it sounds a lot like him. Also a lot like him in that he's firmly the centre of everything in his mind, to the point where it doesn't even occur to him that he's doing it

This is really good!!!!!
John grappling with all of his foibles, his follies—what a male feminist (insult). Loved that entire segment about creating an unsexist world for M‐----, and his utter blindness to the new gendered problems he made instead. It's....so good. So very in character.
