Summary
Death is final, the end of life.
And yet, Victor Frankenstein had proven the common understanding of that law of nature... flawed.
When Victor passes away upon the captain's ship, he does not pass on into death, but unto a second chance at his creature's beginning.
--- Author's Note ---
This is a fix-it of sorts, but also an exploration of Victor, and I write him like the messy bitch he is so buckle in for unreliable narration, repression and denial, selfish empathy(?), and mommy issues.
There WILL be The Creature x Victor, and Victor does essentially raise him through the first bit of this fic, so if that squicks you out, get out now or open your mind to ineffable and immutable connections that transcend social concepts of relation, especially when one part of the relationship is only vaguely human.
I sometimes update with edits or additions so if something is different than you remember from your last read, you're not crazy... I am.

Summary
Victor lives, and must go on. Doing so with his creation proves more difficult and complicated than he expects- especially when they barely know each other. But he has to start somewhere, and going back to Edinburgh seems as good a choice as any. Existing with his Creature is one thing, living with him is something else entirely...especially when one actually starts developing feelings.

Summary
“Are you not in want of a name, then? A way to be known in this world that will keep you when everyone else fades?”
Hands frame his face, the light chill of them cooling his fever. Tempering him from inferno to candle.
“Who else knows me but you? I called myself Victor, not knowing the difference between what was you and what was myself. And you affirmed it, that first day. Affirmed it again when it was mine to return to you as we sat locked in ice and our own thinning malice. Perhaps I longed for a different name, once, but that longing faded when the old man called me friend, and I could be that. When others called me demon, inhuman, monster, and I could protect myself as they expected me to. When you called for Maman, and I could answer.”

Victor and the Creature begin to lay ghosts and decayed gardens of the past to rest, and in doing so, find that new growth has taken root.

Summary
“I care not for procreation,” the creature rumbles angrily from above, spitting out the word as if in mockery of the way Victor had intoned it prior. “I am not entreating you to make me… a child-bearing wife. Just a friend.”
Or, when Victor makes his assumptions about the nature of the Creature's request for a companion, instead of remaining silent, the Creature speaks up. This puts their first confrontation after the fire on a different path.
