Summary
She daydreams about it, sometimes: how her shade of deep red would look on Debbie’s skin. Wonders what would happen if she went up to Debbie, placed her palm on Debbie’s cheek, and leaned in. She gets a possessive thrill out of imagining her color along Debbie’s jaw. Proof that she exists. That she matters to someone.
In this daydream, she pictures an identical red across her palm: the red that would mark her as Debbie’s, and Debbie’s as hers. The red that would mean they were soulmates.

The Adventure of the Hopping Vampire by David Hines (hradzka)
Fandoms: Doctor Who (2005)
14 Nov 2011
Tags
Summary
SOME OF OUR MORE IMAGINATIVE READERS INFORM US that the events of the past few days -- the grisly deaths, the tragic fire, the flying carriage that caused the egregious delays on the Metropolitan and District Railway -- are attributable to the fevered pursuit of a Chinese vampire, known in its native land as a jiang shi, by the adventuress detective Madame Vastra. These readers, whose persistent letters are beginning to become tiresome, claim that this is but one of many times Madame Vastra's unravelling of a mystery has saved all of an unknowing London.
We advise these peculiar devotees that we have yet again sought an audience with Madame Vastra, who, as ever, politely declines comment on any of the wilder rumors in circulation, but wishes it known that any unusual cases requiring investigation may be brought to her attention care of this newspaper.
