    Summary

    Slowly, your fingers trace the grooves of his face; scars, veins, and blemishes alike. "And what do they call you, sir?" You ask into the darkness.

    The man tenses under your touch, and enormous palms rise to grasp your hands, rough fingers grazing over your knuckles. "I do not have a name," he rasps, and by then, you must notice how otherworldly he sounds. "I do not need a name."

    Your brows furrow as your thumbs continue to follow along the deep lines on his cheeks, down his chin. "And what, pray tell, would you have me call you? Everyone needs a name."

    Perhaps, he thinks, I'd like for you to call me yours.

    Or, The Creature secludes himself in an abandoned manor many years after his father's death. He expects what his elongated life has already provided him—loneliness, disappointment, longing. He does not, however, expect you.

    Summary

    The bullet does not find Elizabeth's stomach. Instead, the creature's arm saves her from certain death and absconds with her from the Frankenstein household. It's in a cave in the wilderness that she acts upon the desires she first felt in the culvert beneath Victor's laboratory.

    Summary

    *COMPLETED*

    Once upon a time, before her first rebirth, she would have laughed at a reality in which her – no, the empress Jiang Xuening – not only successfully seduced Junior Preceptor Xie Wei, but assisted in his rebellion, became his empress, and gave birth to three children.

    And yet, her last memory before her vision faded to black, sharp pain filling her chest from Xue Yuan’s arrow, was Xie Wei’s hot tears on her face.

    When she opened her eyes, she was Zhou Mengyu, 16-year-old daughter of the Duke of Ying, with a scar on her face and a stutter in her voice (how, she wondered), being sent as the latest offering to the emperor Xie Wei. Never mind the emperor was in his 40s and his eldest (and only) daughter by his deceased empress Jiang Xuening was only 2 years younger than her.
