Summary
When the Creature finds a way out of the dark cell he has been kept in for months, he finally learns the world around him; hatred, friendship, love, and the cruelty of his own nature. In the light of day he is a monster, an impossibility pieced together from violence and death. But under the cover of darkness he can be something else entirely… he can be someone.
Elizabeth knows only two things of the stranger hidden in the cellar of the Frankenstein estate. The first is that he is kind, gentle, intelligent, and someone she has grown to care for more than she ever thought possible. The second is that under absolutely no circumstance is she ever permitted to see any part of him in the light of day, except for his eyes through a small slat in the door to his cell.
An ‘East of the Sun and West of the Moon’ retelling featuring the Creature and Elizabeth.

Summary
Instead of wandering the arctic tundra, the creature, now called Adam, has accepted work on the Danish ship. The sailors are wary at first, but with Adams strength providing a welcome respite from work, many have warmed to him. He sails with them for months, no real destination in mind, no goal other than to be useful. He longs for connection, and finds his nightmares difficult to ignore.
Eva Barker is the only child of a Danish leathersmith who finds pleasure in causing pain to his lovely daughter. After years of physical abuse, the nature of her fathers attentions has turned more sinister. He tells her that he will move them to a new town where he shall declare her as his wife instead of his own child. With her mother dead, Eva decides she must escape to the safety of her mothers brother, Uncle Boris in Edinburgh. How to reach there? Stowing away on a cargo ship where a strange scarred man is hiding seems the best course...
Multiple POV, indicated by intros.

Summary
You were the Maid of Honor for Elizabeth Harlander and William Frankenstein’s wedding… the wedding that ended in a mysterious tragedy. You had only caught a glimpse of Elizabeth being whisked away by a tall, dark figure clad in a fur coat.
After that, you left everything behind. Much to your brother’s dismay you fled to a cottage your parents had owned in the middle of the Scottish highlands.
You vowed you’d never die in childbirth like your mother had, and that you’d find out the truth behind Elizabeth’s death.
Little do you know, the truth is closer than you think. For the Creature has finally found his way back to Europe, weaving his way through the wilderness, following a feeling he can't quite name. By some small miracle he stumbles upon you.
After a day of mysterious gifts and favors being done for you, the truth is revealed in the midst of a raging snowstorm.Bookmarked by ForThatAncientHymn
