Summary
Jonathan Reid should have known that the only cure for his perpetual agony of un-life would be to die again. In the beginning he’d attempted it, had wanted it, had begged for it. It would be a lie to say he did not yearn for such a thing now, but she had made him promise. Yes, as she stood in those flames Jonathan knew exactly what his beloved Elisabeth had wanted: find a cure. Yet his insatiable lust for blood prevented him from ever drawing near to an answer. It was four years after Elisabeth Ashbury’s sacrifice when Jonathan Reid finally understood what the answer was. Unfortunately, the answer was tied up once again to a place he’d never have wanted to return to: London, England. The year? 1922.

Summary
Step One: Get spared by one. Step Two: Talk to it. Step Three: Repeat Step Two as many times as necessary.
In other words, a series of meetings between (pacifistic) Reid and (human) McCullum, starting right after saving London.
[Warning: the change I've made is that Jonathan and Elisabeth's relationship is strictly platonic, but she was saved by Johnny nonetheless. He decided to stay in London, though, working on the cure there, as well as still working in Pembroke.]

Bookmarker's Notes
Took me a while to give it a chance since the summary and tags didn't appeal to me, but I'm glad I did. One can almost forget the fact that short, simple stories can have magic breathed into them, until they stumble upon something like this.

Summary
London, 1918. Jonathan Emmet Reid comes back home after warring in France, expecting a happy reunion with his beloved mother and sister. But this moment is cut short briefly after his arrival as an unknown voice beckons to him.
“Twelve dreams for the red queen under crown of stone. Eight voracious beasts born from eight restless night. Four nails piercing the flesh of the sinner. One prayer for the summoned called by this song.”
Soon born anew by an unforeseen turn of events, the eminent doctor struggles to attune to this new “unlife” as a vampire. His path will cross many formidable foes as he strives to put an end to the Spanish Flu epidemic ravaging London that seems ever so merciless and choices will have to be made; to save this city or bring forth its doom, to relish in his vampiric nature or to resist the red song, to save the citizens or to become predator, to ignore the dark urges or to succumb to it’s sweet embrace? The choice is his to make. Life and Death, a balance ever so unforgiving from the decisions made...
