Description:

How a less-healed version of Rosinante might have loved Doflamingo.

"The Black Paintings ... is the name given to a group of 14 paintings by Francisco Goya from the later years of his life ... They portray intense, haunting themes, reflective of both his fear of insanity and his bleak outlook on humanity.

"The paintings originally were painted as murals on the walls of the house, later being "hacked off" the walls and attached to canvas ... Goya did not give titles to the paintings, or if he did, he never revealed them. Most names used for them are designations employed by art historians."
- Wikipedia, The Black Paintings

Notes:

Each fic can be read as a standalone and is named after the painting that I felt corresponded most to the specific nuances I wanted to capture.

While I’m inspired by the Black Paintings, I'm not an art expert. Most of my knowledge on them and Goya's possible intentions are based from reading online sources.
