Fic: Zero

[rinsbane.livejournal.com]

Title: Zero: Beyond the Green
Rating: NC-17. Read the warning.
Disclaimer: tis fiction, and odd fiction at that. Didn't happen, no money made. The italicized half is *extremely heavily* based on "My World of the Unknown" by Alifa Rifaat. I blatantly stole that story and rewrote it for Vigbean; consider it my fanfic of that story.
Summary: Zero is the non-number, the number outside other numbers. Viggo loses himself in a story.
Warning: The italicized half of this is surreal, involving a fantastic world of beings, the most important of which takes the form of a snake. Viggo (sort of) has sex with this snake-being. Skip the entire fic if you do not want to read about a snake or worse, Viggo and a snake, or still worse, Viggo and a djinni in the form of a snake in a bed. And a bit of angst, let's not forget that. And I never specify what the problem in part one is -- it's not important to furthering the story, only the consequences are, but this will possibly perturb some.
Notes: This has an odd structure, which I hope will be clear or at least make sense anyway. The italicized snake story runs 1, 2, 3 -- time goes forward; the unitalicized VigBean runs 3, 2, 1, going backwards in time. These parts alternate with one another. It starts with a prologue, zero, and ends with an epilogue, zero, and they are beyond the rest. Yes, this is another of my more experimental fics, written because "My World of the Unknown" is such a powerful story that I had to.*g* Feedback, as always, would be lovely.
