Summary
When Mabel Elmsworth arrives in England’s drawing rooms and rose gardens, she expects boredom, polite conversation, and the usual parade of eligible men. What she doesn’t expect is Honoria Marable — a girl who seems to vanish into corners, who speaks in silences more than words, and who looks at the floor as though it might speak back.
Honoria follows the rules. Mabel doesn’t care much for them. But something begins to stir between them — small, slow, quiet.
A very slow burn sapphic romance set in the world of The Buccaneers (2023) — where what’s not said matters more than what is.

Summary
Slowly, her brain came back to Runeterra. She blinked, trying to focus on her surroundings. Vi had been laid to rest on an old, tattered red chair tucked against a bean bag so she could stretch out her legs. Above her, there was a colorful canopy illuminated with string lights. Amongst the clutter on the little table sat a ragdoll with a body made out of a music box with woven bright magenta hair.
Vi had an idle thought of the ragdoll being dressed in a vaguely familiar manner, before her eyes landed on her own younger face, painted in watercolor inside a wooden frame.
The recognition took a moment to sink in. “What the fuck?”
Or: Vi visits that other timeline.

Summary
Laura keeps having strange dreams that seem very real, featuring the same dark and brooding stranger who is, perhaps, a bit too hands on. What secrets is this strange girl hiding?
They meet across a number of dreams, at different times, each getting increasingly weirder and scarier, until we get to present day Silas University.
Features Victorian Carmilla and Oblivious Laura from Le Fanu's original novella.
Slightly off-kilter version of the web series, Silas University is still a strange and dangerous place where the bells of the carillon in the old clock tower ring daily in preparation for some kind of mysterious jubilee celebration the Dean is planning.
Okay, I don't want to give too much away but this might be a ridiculous retelling of a famous Scottish fairytale...

Please Note: Rated M for unavoidable sexytimes, violence, mild horror, general horribleness from evildoers and a lot of purple prose. (I would be honored if you give this little story your attention past the first chapter, it's probably the weakest unfortunately).
