Fics like Deeper Wonders than the Waves

The first moment his one remaining foot comes down on solid land, his guts roll like frenzied eels. Ahab has not suffered such rumblings of rebellion from his stomach in a dozen years. Ahab’s gorge did not rise when his leg was torn away, nor when the ragged end cauterized with iron to save his life’s blood pouring out, and he smelled the scorch of his own ill-butchered meat. But now the blunt, grimy jumble of the street cobbles seems to reject him, only for his dismasted, unbalanced body to reject it in turn. The eternal roll of waves in his blood crashes against the rock of that simple step and then plunges back into his depths, leaving him haloed round with sick miasma as the sea air encompasses the hanging weight of invisible brine.
