...where all the Hork-Bajir and humans started cheering together. In the books, we never really heard the perspective of any long-time controllers, but I can imagine a sort of camaraderie forming between the two enslaved species while they're locked up in the Yeerk pool.
Awhile back I was paging through the Animorphs section on ff.net, and I came across one incredibly interesting story:
Sacred Host by Qoheleth
Somewhere in the Yeerk pool, you know someone is doing this.
Animorphs - Rated: K+ - English - Drama/Spiritual - Chapters: 18 - Words: 27,830 - Reviews: 172 - Updated: 4-21-10 - Published: 3-29-07
If you can't stand religion at least academically, this story is probably not for you, but it's just so thoughtful and the author uses such a deliciously ironic narrative voice that I couldn't help but get sucked in. It is sadly unfinished, but in progress, and I felt I had to share it.

I've only read the first two chapters, but I can actually imagine this happening, and not too implausably either. It makes quite an interesting topic for discussion, on a sort of post-apocalyptic hope sort of thing.
They've got incredibly good spam filters.
Yeah, but I don't get that much. And I'll know it's from you/Maudlin/PPCers anyway!
But the heavy handedness of chapter 2 turned me off too badly to keep reading.
That is excellent. I was kinda iffy at the start, because it's so easy to get heavy-handed and lose track of the story with these things, but... Wow. Very, very well done story. Props to the author for sure.
I actually know this author somewhat...I'm working with him on a Batman fanfic. He's one of those people whose religion is with him all the time, but he deals with any issues that arise with a stoic grace. I really enjoy his work...though I haven't read this one yet.
