    Summary

    The first day, its fingers caressed him more delicately than the whisper of its wrappings. Soft, softer; less than a newborn. He loved it then.

    Summary

    At 36, the widowed Comtesse Florence de Mourville has had her share of death; hand over fist and then some. When a storm deposits a strange body on the shores of her Normandy estate in the Spring of 1911, she doesn’t expect it to wake—let alone to speak, to watch her paint, or to upend her quiet exile. What begins as curiosity becomes obsession, and what she thought long buried stirs again: tenderness, want, and a willingness to tear herself open for someone to see what strange manner of creature she is.

    Summary

    Many years after a long medical career, a man claiming to be a nightmarish figure of fictional fame agrees to an interview with a paranthropologist in the early 1900s.
    His story begins where Madame Shelley's ends, as he steals the identity of an army medic with a rich father and assumes a life with expectations and a history he is entirely unqualified for.

    Smut chapters are published as separate stories on my page. The creature is too polite and private to share such stories with an anthropologist but I'm too LEWD to leave them unpublished.

    This movie has me in a chokehold and is currently bashing me into every fixture of my house so now it's your problem.

    Summary

    As the days marched on from the wedding, things were always predictable. Alma could live with predictability; she would gladly trade chaos for boredom. It only wore on her some of the time. Still, she stuck it out because that was what marriage was all about.

    When Ennis was gone the summer before they got married, Alma had been foolish enough to be hopeful. She thought that, maybe, since they would be separated for so long, he might be more excited to see her when he got back. Maybe absence really would make his heart grow fonder. Something had to eventually.
    -
    Scenes from Alma's life before, during, and after the events of Brokeback Mountain. She learns to understand her past as she rebuilds her life post-divorce.

    Summary

    Large, freezing fingers take hold of his hair and wrench him up, up onto trembling knees as it snarls, there, close enough to rip his throat open with its maw of borrowed teeth.

    "Do not think I am not tempted, Victor!" There is no heat to its breath, as it bellows its contempt not an inch from his face. Only moisture, and rushing air, expelled to defile his name. "To bleed you. To humble you."

    --

    "You have denied me death, I deny you in kind. You must live, Victor."

    He hates the sound of his name in its mouth. Hates it. Had only it died as intended, that he would never suffer the sound again.

    "For if you will not grant me a companion, I will take you as one."

    Summary

    Victor made a man out of corpse parts, do you really think he wouldn’t try and rebuild his own leg the same way?

    This of course goes great with absolutely no consequences as Victor is great at thinking through his actions.

    In other words, Victor is forced to learn empathy whether he likes it or not, a fix it fic set immediately after the fire.

    Summary

    As he looked in the mirror, he saw the caring concentration on Elizabeth's face as she brushed his hair. He tried to not wince as his scalp was tugged.

    He had never given much thought to what grew out of his head. Once Victor left, it started growing and would not stop. As far as he could tell, it did not do anything. It was the one part of his body that seemed to have a mind of its own.

    "What is its purpose?"

    “Hair, you mean?”

    He gave a small nod, trying to tamp down his embarrassment for asking such an elementary question.

    Elizabeth, however, treated it as any other question, as if he had asked for the time. "We're mammals. We all have it somewhere. In animals, it covers their whole bodies for warmth. For us, it simply prefers our heads most of all.”

    Us. The word struck him. To Elizabeth, he was no different from her. In doing this act, she was letting him into a part of her existence. Something private, unseen by the outside world. He was willing to go wherever she would lead him.

    Elizabeth washes the Creature's hair. He learns what it means to feel beautiful.

    Summary

    Though Victor’s head goes limp against the pillow, and his breathing dips to nearly nothing, his creation is not fooled. He would never be fooled by this man again.

    Even now, as the Captain of this frozen vessel drew a hand to his face in disbelief and mourning, the loathsome creature could still hear the faintest of sounds from within him, far quieter than anyone else could hear. A sound for him, alone.

    The gentlest, most stubborn of heartbeats.

    It did not feel like a victory, nor did it seem like acquiescence. It was for Victor as it was for the creature: there was simply nowhere else to go, and nothing else to do.

    Summary

    John Keats' career as a poet is on the very brink of taking off when he meets the aristocratic, irritating and very distracting Percy Shelley.  

    “Run, John,” said Shelley, taking his arm and yanking him down the stairs, two at a time. They pelted past the crowd at the bottom of the stairs and the footmen at the door and burst out onto the street, gasping and laughing.

    “How have you got so far in life without learning that the answer to "are you Lord Byron" is always "No, absolutely not"?” said Shelley.

    “I headed Agravain and Mordred off and took their scheme for myself,” Arthur says. There is a pressure in the air like a summer thunderstorm. Something must change. The most beautiful woman and the most beautiful man in all the world are here naked before him, subject to his word and whim, and one misstep after they leave this room might drag either of them out in the light to be torn to pieces. Or both.
