I didn’t have a lot of fictional crushes so let’s do this instead
Church of the Long Embrace, famous for its cheerful passageways made of glass and the enameled ribcages of last parishioners
The Hagiopod, inside the shell of an immense snail, its walls hung with hammocks and reliquaries
Neverstill, the wind that sanctifies the world one acre at a time
The Bower of Sculpted Sap, made anew every spring when thick resin splits the colossal tree’s branches and flows down like slow amber waterfalls
Mason’s Folly, a collection of inscrutably cut stones, the proper assembly of which will deify the builder
Priory-on-the-Rock, half a galleon wrecked atop a seamount, St. Elmo’s fire tickling its timbers and lighting the way to sanctuary
The Plow, alone in its overgrown field, a rusted farm implement carved with generations’ worth of prayers
the Crucible, a great bowl made from a patchwork of iron plates, where molten need becomes forged faith
the Hundred Howls, a pack of blessed canids and vulpids that protect travelers
Pyre, a cone of staves beneath which services are held and which is burned down afterward
Cathedral of the Inward Eye, a perfectly spherical chunk carved from the living rock accessible via a small hole on its sunward face. An anechoic chamber.
12) House of the First Song, a canyon that resonates with a primordial drone when the wind blows, open to the sky above via the thinnest of slits
13) All-Throats-Every-Voice, the Joyful Wall, its niches full each morning with singing and dancing adherents
