	I knew two things going into this thing: one, that I wanted to work off the plot of Tam Lin but not have the transfigured party change back, and two, that I wanted to go absolutely bananas with the body horror. One I was definitely successful at, though I think if I wasn't so exhausted while writing I might've been able to push two even further. Maybe that's for the best.		I knew two things going into this thing: one, that I wanted to work off the plot of Tam Lin but not have the transfigured party change back, and two, that I wanted to go absolutely bananas with the body horror. One I was definitely successful at, though I think if I wasn't so exhausted while writing I might've been able to push two even further. Maybe that's for the best.

			The work's title is an archaic Scottish term used to refer to tithes given to either clergy or the Fair Folk. Given that Mack and Lenny both tithe in their own ways, and the Gentry want to use Lenny to pay their own debts, it seemed thematically appropriate all the way down.

	Providing a complete list of influences for this story would prove nigh impossible, in no small part because I poured so much frenzied effort into it (including starting over twice, once wholly from scratch) over the week I spent working on it, but in addition to the above media I drew upon sources like Changeling: the Lost, Condemned, Silent Hill 2, Psychonauts, the last chapter of Uzumaki, passers-by in Second Life, bits of the otherwise profoundly mediocre-looking PC game Agony, and certain unpleasant dreams I've had in the past. And they say video games rot your brain!

	Mack's relationship with his surroundings is some of that classic Iron Eater brand "person in strange or horrifying situation sees nothing wrong" POV that I love using. The movie with the patchwork man whose name escapes him is the Rutger Hauer made-for-TV vehicle Mr. Stitch. Paired with him namedropping Elric of Melniboné in an argument he presumably has rather quirky tastes.

			For those wondering: Mack's "real world" is a place in which humanity has come to an agreement with some manner of mechanical intelligence, in which humanity contributes bioelectricity (a thing) and orgone (not really a thing) in exchange for not getting murdered to death. Enough time has passed since the initial events that a semblance of normalcy has returned to the world. Best not to think about the body count.

	The white dogs with red ears that Lenny is so worried about are meant to be parts of the Wild Hunt.		The white dogs with red ears that Lenny is so worried about are meant to be parts of the Wild Hunt.

Iron Eater: Words and words and words. Don't worry, it's all just a dream.

+The flat sheet of red beneath them suddenly flipped ninety degrees until it was pressing against Lenny's back, leaving Mack floating, still motionless, over a void the same color as the sky. More chunks of sodden paper fell moistly out of existence. The blood bent and strained against Lenny like gelatin, or the skin on an old, cheap bowl of pudding; it still ruffled like water even as the mass of his body distorted it. Mack could feel the heat of the sky-patterns as they throbbed behind him and knew they would burn him to ashes if he so much as brushed one.
