LASZLO CRAVENSWORTH For Nadja !

🪐 — LASZLO CRAVENSWORTH​  for  nadja !

     NOT ALL CORPSES REANIMATE; SOME SIMPLY WITHER AWAY. Only the strongest of mortals were fit to endure the process. Your will to live is strong, his chest puffed out in pride at the compliment. “ Of course, it is, my dark mistress, ” he said as he needlessly smoothed the front of his nightshirt, now soaked with three days of sweat and sickness. The past few nights had been a blur of nightmarish fever, yet he remembered her clearly. This stranger whom he barely knew had cared for him. Now he was well. More than well, in fact. Despite his exhaustion, there was a sense of renewal. It was as if a thick fog had finally cleared. Sounds were sharper. Colours were brighter. He was reborn.  

     “ I dare say I’ve never felt better. ” He leaned against his elbow as he soaked in her exquisite beauty. She was more beautiful now than she had been when he invited her through his window, if that were possible.  He opened his mouth to address her once more only to realize that he did not know her name- between her fucking him into oblivion and then sucking him dry there really hadn’t been time for pesky introductions. “ What might I call you, my darling. ”

   HIS ETERNAL LIFE  had been bestowed on a whim in the throes of their passion.  &  in truth, nadja hadn’t really thought the man would make it through that first night. she’d certainly made a mess of his throat while taking her pleasure ( though luckily the head had remained attached this time ),  &  she had half expected the blood loss to be insurmountable for his weak mortal heart, the wound too wide to heal before her venom made the changes necessary to keep him alive.  &  yet something within had called upon her to stay  &  watch, needing to know for sure.                             that first night, the wound on his neck had shrunken to a slim puckered line as he lie wracked with fevers  &  sweats, his body purging all traces of mortality. by the second night, nadja had been amazed to see that not a trace of her fangs remained on his throat. yet he lingered in delirium for another night longer.  &  still, she waited.  the change from mortal to undead was not pleasant, she knew from her own experience.  she had been left on her own for hers, forced to hide to learn to survive alone  —  &  for some unknown reason, nadja had found herself unable to leave his side through his, unwilling to condemn this man she barely knew to that same fate.  instead she had remained at his side, though there was little she could do to soothe his discomfort. it was the fourth night that he fell silent for a beat, only to lean up from the bed  &  speak clearly at last, his eyes clear again.       ❝ actually, dark mistress will suffice for now  —  i quite like the sound of that, ❞  she all but purrs her response.  though her heart has not beaten in centuries, nadja is certain that were it able to, it would be fluttering madly at the note of sincerity in his voice.  &  moving so quickly that mortal eyes would perceive her only in a blur, nadja crosses to the man’s bedside.  though the putrid smell of sick still clings to his sweaty clothes, beneath that there is no warm  &  tempting scent of living blood.  &  a hand extends to tilt his chin up  &  tuck two fingers just beneath, checking for any whisper of a pulse.  but it’s still, his heart as silent as her own.  he is finally dead.  ❝ &  you, my great  &  powerful bull ?  what is your name ? ❞

 🪐 — HERA KOSTOPULIS​​  for  nadja !

wide eyes are surprisingly innocent, pleading  ──────  like a child’s faithful gaze,    ❝  you think so?  ❞    a strange honor, pride swelling beneath her breast as a smile begins it’s journey across her lips.      ❝  you really think i look like a snack?  ❞

    MORTAL MEN WERE EASY to ensnare  &  bend to her dark whims, as stupid as they all were.  but it wasn’t bumbling men that her paying customers wanted  —  it was lovely young ladies like hera, with fresh red blood running through the veins just beneath their flawless skin.  ❝ but of course —  you look good enough to eat, ❞  nadja says, her tone softening slightly for the briefest of moments.  &  her hand pats a few times against the other woman’s forearm, a vague gesture only adjacent to comforting.  but then that same hand curls around her wrist  &  tugs  @khrused​ through the crowd, all trace of gentleness disappeared from her voice.  ❝ that’s why i’ve booked you as the main course in the vip room tonight with a very rich, very old client.  one of the ancients, in fact.  you think you can handle that, you charming little minx ? ❞

You've seen life through DISTORTED EYES. You know you had to learn. The execution of your mind, you really had to turn. The race is RUN, the book is READ, the end begins to SHOW. The truth is out, the lies are old, but you don't want to know. The people who have crippled you. YOU WANT TO SEE THEM BURN. The gates of LIFE have closed on you, and now there's just no return. You're wishing that the HANDS OF DOOM could take your mind away. And you don't care if you don't see again, the light of day. DOC / BLOG / C. REBUILT BY FRANKENSTEIN.

❔ 

● grace hanson   —   with  birdie,  who would definitely be one of frankie’s artist friends,  or with  kariana  who could be someone she knows in the business / finance world !

● wolfgang bogdanow  —   he can try to relieve  katiana  of some of her father’s wealth,  or i could bring  izzy  into a modern / organized crime verse to work either with or against him.

● amy march  —   she should meet  margaery  in her historical verse !  or maybe it would be fun to have her meet  stede  in his dandy era for a more comedic pairing.

● arwen  —  wizard  howl  is literally begging for a lotr au,  &  i think he would be very much interested in meeting her !

● eomer  —  i can’t really explain it, but i really think he should meet  nymeria.  i could put her in a lotr au, or you could drag eomer to asoiaf, either way would work well !

● marianne sheridan  —  i think marianne needs to meet  birdie,  as a treat.  &  i think she would also really like both  sarah  &  rae !  lady friends for marianne ?  i think yes. 

● wylla manderly  —  ok but ocean goddess wylla needs to meet ocean goddess  calypso,  just for fun.  also hook her up with  nymeria  somehow some way, please !
