    Summary

    Osferth isn't a monk. Not really. Not anymore. Not since he joined Uhtred's band of misfit warriors to fight for a cause he didn't believe in. But a lot of those ideas stuck around in his head, all of the Latin engrained in his mind. He could recite every scrap of the Bible and every lesson he had ever been taught.

    So he knows. He knows he shouldn't look at her the way he does. Not because he looks at her with lust, God no. It's worse than that. Because she's a pagan. A Dane. He's spent his life killing Danes and for some reason, she's always there killing Danes alongside him.

    Valdis doesn't talk a lot. But she wakes up in terror sometimes and only the whispered words of their shared language from Sihtric can calm her down. Uhtred says that she doesn't need to talk a lot because she kills like no other woman Osferth had ever seen. She kills like she's running from something.

    Osferth hopes one day that she'll be able to speak enough Saxon to tell her what she's running from.

    Summary

    Sansa Stark is abandoned at Winterfell, left in the clutches of the men who betrayed and killed her brother and mother. All she has is the promise that Stannis is coming and will save her. But what happens when her faith in that promise deteriorates?

    She prays.

    And the Gods answer.

    Or Sansa Stark survives The Horrors, the Gods give her compensation.

     

    EDIT as of 01/26: I’m going on a temporary hiatus, since my laptop has decided to kill itself via planned obsolescence, so I’ll be back once I sort that out.

    Summary

    If someone had told Lucy MacLean a month ago that she was going to be traveling across the surface with an irradiated bounty hunter who had nearly drowned her and tried to sell her for drug money, in order to find her father, who it turned out had destroyed an entire community in a jealous rage... She would have wondered who had put drugs in their jello cake.

    So the fact that that is exactly where she is finding herself has her head in a spin. The world is nothing like she thought it would be, and everything she feared it could be, but she can't go back to her Vault without answers, and the mysterious ghoul bounty hunter is her best bet for finding the source of those answers. It's time to meet her makers. And if the changing dynamic with her new guide happens to give her more questions along the way? Well, Lucy has always relished a challenge.

    Summary

    Preface:
    Elizabeth Harlander has loved Victor’s Creation since she first set her gaze upon him in the sewer where he was chained, and when Victor set the Tower on fire, she thought that she’d never see him again… until her supposed wedding night. But then she gets shot by Victor and is dying from blood loss… until she whispers, “Take me with you.”

    “Elizabeth” was his second word, but she doesn’t even know that he can speak. But when she asks him to take her away, he obliges. He would do anything for her. And now, he will be the last creature that she’ll ever see… and she’ll never know the truth. And after she dies on the stone altar in front of him, he kisses her and…

    Starting right after Elizabeth gets shot, she mysteriously survives (you’ll have to read to find out folks) but is a little…different. Lots of yearning, pining, adorable sad eyes, and your perfect Gothic monster romance! <3

    “You were my second word, and now you will be no more than nothing. And when your light leaves this world, darkness will descend, and so will my rage descend unto the man who has caused this.”
    -The Creature to Elizabeth, Chapter Two

    (Will update on a schedule decided in notes at the end of chapter!)
