FIC UPDATE! CHAPTER 7 OF:
just as it was, baby (before the otherness came)
OUT NOW ON AO3!
─── ⊹⊱✿⊰⊹ ───
summary:
“Your sister committed a crime,” rasps the beast. “I expect her to pay for it.”
The candelabra lays forgotten beside Vi, leaving her– the beast, that deplorable creature, entirely out of the light. Vi can only hear her voice, smell the cloying scent of jasmine drifting off her frame. How must she smell, to need to coat herself in such extensive levels of fragrance? How strange that a monstrous beast with no soul, no humanity, would wear an expensive Parisian fragrance? If there is a woman buried beneath that wolf's growl, perhaps she is a woman that Vi can bargain with.
“Please.” Vi remains on her knees, surrendering herself to the beast's mercy. Her fists clearly have no impact here, nor could leaden bullets down this creature. “If I take her place, take responsibility for her crimes, would you set her free?”
─── ⊹⊱✿⊰⊹ ───
A tale as old as time. A song as old as rhyme. A lush and magical CaitVi fairytale, starring Vi as our darling Beauty and Caitlyn as our beloved Beast.
