Yuletide reveal
Of Castes and Honey (1253 words) by Neotoma
Chapters: 1/1
Fandom: Books of the Raksura - Martha Wells
Rating: General Audiences
Warnings: No Archive Warnings Apply
Characters: Moon (Books of the Raksura), Chime (Books of the Raksura)
Summary:
If you haven't read any of the Books of the Raksura by Martha Wells, they're the story of Moon, an orphan who has spent his entire life hiding his ability to shapeshift into a form capable of flight. His discovery of people like himself changes his life.
The novels are notable for the fact that the world is populated by a wide variety of not-quite-human species and that there are no humans in the setting. Also, the detritus of previous civilizations are quite literally everywhere, and some of the artifacts are outright deadly; the worldbuilding is excellent, and the characters both alien enough to be not human, but human enough to be relatible.
