[Fic] Uncharted: Golden Abyss/Shadowrun // Well, it's definitely grotesque

[spindizzy]

SO I found out that gargoyles are a thing in the Shadowrun universe, and then I remembered the conversation between Nate and Chase about whether something was a gargoyle or a grotesque.

Uncharted: Golden Abyss/Shadowrun // Well, it's definitely grotesque
G | 100 words | Chase, Nathan Drake | No spoilers | The distinction between gargoyles and grotesques is more important than you'd think.

"Gargoyle!" Chase hissed, and started to clamber back down her rope.

Nate braced his feet against the wall of the skyscraper so he could lean out to get a better look at the hunched figure on the roof edge. "Nah, I think it's a grotesque! It doesn't have a water spout –"

"No, Nate, gargoyle!" Chase yelled, moving faster now, heading for the door they'd escaped through. The shape above him unfurled huge, stone-coloured wings, its fanged mouth opening around a rattling caw.

"Oh shit," Nate agreed, before the gargoyle tipped itself over the edge of the roof towards him.
