The Many Deaths of Laila Starr by Ram V

5.0

I’m screaming, crying, sobbing.

My wife had spent the past month trying to get me to read this and I finally see why. Death/Laila feels like a child learning the way the world works for the first time and not understanding why it’s not as simple as she thought it was and I am obsessed. I read on tumblr a post about life and death being in love with each other and this gives that without being solely focused on the romance. Life literally makes deals with TAXES to bring Laila back at one point. I was cackling.

I actually liked the ending. I screamed “that’s it” and my wife laughed at me. I want more but the ending felt like a good stopping point. It really left me with the question, if I knew how to live forever would I tell anyone? Would I use that power?
