[Homestuck] Watch the Roots
Title: Watch the Roots
Author: lionpyh
Fandom: Homestuck
Rating: M

Summary: The rat, the mouse, the fox, the rabbet watch the roots; the lion, the tyger, the horse, the elephant watch the fruits.
( – William Blake, The Marriage of Heaven and Hell)
Feferi Peixes decides to inherit early.
===
Nearly two hours later the lusus scrabbled suddenly up from sleep and gave a sharp bark, startling her to her feet as well, and hearing the faint chiming of the code begin she switched on the single light and stepped back from the door. The curling horns matched the chimera’s: after that she could look almost idly.
A woman, narrow-shouldered, slight, no taller than herself. Dark clothes, a neat dark skirt, black stockings. The mouth painted rust with a kind of defiant vulgarity, the long eyes traced too. The mist had turned to drizzle and there were tiny drops strung all through the curling hair, clustered thickly round the crown of the head, like a galaxy. The contact nearly bowed, checked herself smoothly, and inclined her head: but someone trained to evaluate deference would have caught, had caught, the stiffening at the knees. Her face when it came up was cool and curious and calm. “Heiress,” she said. The door closed behind her.
To be greeted like an equal by the lowest caste was what Feferi Peixes had dreamt of half her life, and yet the first flicker in her pan was What insolence.
