Summary:
/wev sən/
1. Debris on the waves after a shipwreck
2. A son of the waves
Haunted by the war, Goodnight Robicheaux moves to a remote fishing village in the north of Scotland, right at the tail end of WWII. He takes a fishing cabin by the sea, his only neighbours the waves and a curious seal. Goodnight is simply after some peace and solitude, and isn’t expecting much in the way of human company. But even he doesn’t know just how right he’ll be about that.
Reccer's Notes:
Selkie AU! (And yes, the writer does rework selkie lore in a pretty satisfying way to accommodate both the Scottish roots of the myth and Billy's - or at least the actor, Lee Byung-hun's - Korean heritage.)
Full of silvery skies, stormy seas, rustic villages, and windswept cliffs, as you might expect, along with some atmospheric goddamn writing. It's a story about trauma, and healing, and trust, and love. (And also surprise encounters with strange naked men making coffee in the kitchen of your rented cottage.)
