Title: ivy on the walls
Genre: gothic horror
Setting: Lilias, a remote northern forest consumed by an unknown creeping plant, and a too-bright southern capital; AU to ANS, a departure from canon; fantasy late 19th century
Synopsis: Locals know not to go to that part of the forest, where ivy creeps and strangles the life that finds its way there. The green, they call it. A wan traveler appears in Lilias, crying that her mother had been taken. The green, she said; a place other travelers refused to mark on the map; a place on the route of King Kain's march during the Northern War; a place with suspiciously few records. A place, it's told, where the green of the ivy is the last thing you'll ever know. What will Shirayuki find in the pursuit of truth?
