in which a limeblood pretends to be olive and becomes the matesprit of a queen, but must reveal their identity to prevent their culling (6097 words) by Rose_Icosahedron Chapters: 2/2 Fandom: Homestuck, The Jewish Bible, Megillat Ester | Book of Esther Rating: General Audiences Warnings: Major Character Death Relationships: Esther/Achashverosh Characters: Queen Esther, King Achashverosh, Haman, Mordechai Additional Tags: genderbent au, but only some of the characters, Alternate Universe- Medieval Alternia, Arranged Marriage?, its not a Marriage since trolls don't have Marriage, fantasy racisim/classism, its the megillah of esther but on ancient alternia i think this is self explanitory, i made this for a school assignment Summary: I'm not going to make a dramatic summary, this is the Megillah of Esther but reframed into the societal and social context of Ancient Alternia. I originally started writing this before Purrim(the jewish holiday which celebrates the Megillah) and only finished it now, have fun :D

In various places, it (the Bible) sees women in particular as very sexual beings. Thus it is quite reasonable within a biblical context to see Eve as a type of Pandora figure, who is to be commended for bringing sex into this world

How to Read the Jewish Bible by Marc Zvi Brettler  Viewing the Garden of Eden story as not a curse, but a story of "immortality lost, and sexuality gained."

There is a time for everything

Ecclesiastes NKJV

3 To everything there is a season, A time for every purpose under heaven:

2 A time to be born,     And a time to die; A time to plant,     And a time to pluck what is planted; 3 A time to kill,     And a time to heal; A time to break down,     And a time to build up; 4 A time to weep,     And a time to laugh; A time to mourn,     And a time to dance; 5 A time to cast away stones,     And a time to gather stones; A time to embrace,     And a time to refrain from embracing; 6 A time to gain,     And a time to lose; A time to keep,     And a time to throw away; 7 A time to tear,     And a time to sew; A time to keep silence,     And a time to speak; 8 A time to love,     And a time to hate; A time of war,     And a time of peace.

We can't stop time, and we can't stop some of the things that happen with time, for example death, but we can appreciate it in every season because we know that every season will pass and give birth to a new one. You can find the importance of the season if you are looking hard enough.
