    Summary

    "A Case of Silken Strands and Bloody Murder" is a short Wriolette Fantasy AU story inspired by Jack the Ripper, featuring Officer Wriothesley falling in love with an escort of the night district named Neuvillette.

    Being an officer has its ups and downs. You get to meet all kinds of new people, which is, oddly enough, one of the good things. Especially today, Wriothesley thinks, while staring into beautiful, deep purple eyes. A color so out of this world, you wouldn’t find it in any human. It almost lets him forget the reason he’s here. He shudders thinking about the mangled corpse that lies in the capable hands of his forensic assistant.

    “Can I help you?” comes the smooth voice from the door, eyebrows raised, expression neutral.

    “Yes, I’m Officer Wriothesley of the Marechaussee Phantom. If you don’t mind, I have a few questions about a recent murder in this neighborhood. May I come in?”
