The living story

The story so far

She weeps black tears at weddings, and she is always invited anyway — the tears are considered good luck. They never stain; they evaporate into tiny perfect black flowers that guests pocket for luck. She cries because she remembers every wedding she has ever attended, including her own, four hundred years ago. Vesper always holds her hand; Vesper's tea always cools too fast on those nights.

The Crimson Court

Vampire aristocrats of the obsidian manse — three hundred years of perfecting the bow, the toast, and the terrible hunger underneath. Valdis sets the table; everyone else minds their manners.
