    Summary

    Justice, the guillotine. 

    That was ironic. Maximilien was always on the right side of justice. Everything he did: every law he voted for; every trial, no matter how unfair it seemed to the outside eye; every head he condemned, he had done it in the name of stability, in the name of the nation.

    The guillotine was the true executive power of the Committee of Public Safety, no matter what any of his dear, fellow deputies liked to believe. Today, they would finally see that for themselves.

    OR

    Maximilien Robespierre's execution, and the ghosts that stood beside him.

    Summary

    "The moonlight now shone upon the whole chamber and Antoine could distinctly see the demonic aspects of Maxime’s condition… and yet, he did not fear him. Nothing about the vampyre was in the least daunting to Saint-Just: not the sharp canine fangs nor the blood - his own blood - that stained his skin and clothes or the devilish glisten of his crimson eyes"

    Summary

    Saint-Just holds the cold, trembling hand tight as he wends through every dark alley and side street he can find. The route is twice as long as it would be if they went along main streets, but it’ll be far less alarming for a man who’s just stepped out of the Place de la Révolution 1794 — as Saint-Just well knows from experience.

    He punches in the code — nothing to be done about that; twentieth and twenty-first century living has made him soft, but not decadent enough to have a doorman. The old building had a physical key for a long time, but Saint-Just upgraded the security a couple decades ago. Not for himself as much as for the hundreds of tenants whose standards are a bit more recent than the Enlightenment.



    So the revolutionary painter David was so devastated about not being able to die to save Robespierre & friends that he spent the rest of his life pouring all his energy into painting them, an act of devotion so intense that it created a kind of magic...
