   Summary

   When Meg Halsey meets Herbert West her life is really not going her way. Back from New York after her mom died, studying under the eyes of her dad and Dr. Hill, who has been weirder and weirder, she was not ready for the effect the man was going to have on her: Strange and mysterious, he becomes a new obsession. She's sure he's doing something wrong, he has to be, and she's the one who's gonna find out what it is.

   A.K.A I made a tumblr post about how Crampton/Combs are romantically involved in all of their collabs, got replies and decided to write down a suggestion of "what if Meg was the protagonist, not Dan?" by user resonanteye. It was way more fun than I, a Danbert shipper, anticipated and I just ran with it.

   Sept 2025 edit: Fixed a few typos and weird dialogue, but nothing major that alters the fanfic, and definitely didn't catch everything even then :(
