    Summary

    'David leaned forward without meaning to. The boy stepped out. At first, all David saw was the bandage- white, wrapped tight across the lower half of the face. A performer’s trick. Anticipation curled in his gut. Then the bandage came away. The crowd gasped. Someone screamed. Someone laughed. David felt nothing, and then everything. The smile was wrong. Not a smile at all, but a wound. A blood-bright gash carved too wide, too deep, pulled into a permanent shape of joy that had never once been felt. Ragged skin. Exposed teeth. A devil’s grin sculpted into flesh. And above it- Eyes. Deep. Blue. Vast. Eyes that held heaven in a face from hell.

    David’s breath hitched.

    Grinpayne sang. The voice was raw. Real. It scraped its way out of a chest that had learned how to survive pain by turning it into sound. He sang of monsters. Of knives. Of stars stripped from the sky. Of being made into something and left alive to feel it.

    David did not laugh. He did not scream. He stood perfectly still, heart slamming against his ribs, because something inside him had just been split open and he did not know how to close it again.

    “Oh,” he whispered, reverent and ruined. “Oh my God.” '

    Summary

    He will not be remembered as a freak. Or a noble. Or a man who begged for mercy. If he has to die, then let it be with fire at his back and their screams on his tongue. Let it be a name they spit in fear — let it be Dea’s name that haunts them as the walls burn around them. She died waiting for him to come home. Now they will die for making her wait.

    He rises. Picks up the sword again. His smile doesn’t reach his eyes anymore. It never really did.

    Summary

    Once he stopped taking Crimson Lethe, Grinpayne was finally able to remember his past. Unfortunately, that’s also meant that some pretty horrifying memories have come back to haunt him – but thankfully, he and Dea have each-other through it all.

    (Post-canon) Just a fluffy one-shot with these two because I’m an absolute sucker for this musical!

    Summary

    The other cars on the road are a dizzying blur of color and motion through the windows, with dawn breaking over the horizon in front of them. If his brain wasn’t scrambled by exhaustion and painkillers, he might find something poetic about the scene, but right now the beginning of the sunrise only makes his eyes hurt.

    Summary

    Grinpayne’s blanket is overstuffed with goose feathers. His pajamas are made of such fine, thin silk that he practically feels naked. A chill seeps in, despite the massive duvet, and he shivers.

    The grandfather clock chimes and strikes three in the morning.

    Summary

    Barkilphedro dumps the body of the young lord, rather unceremoniously, onto his bed. The unconscious Gwynplaine utters no complaints.

    He lays there flat on his back with his limbs splayed out, head tilted to the side, like a corpse with its neck snapped.

    Oh, what Barkilphedro wouldn’t give for that to be the case.

    Summary

    Grinpayne’s breathing quickens, and the sheets rustle as he shifts around in bed with a groan. Dea snaps to attention, listening intently.

    “Grinpayne,” she asks, quietly, “are you okay?”

    There’s another noise, louder this time, drawn out. He breathes in shakily, and the next sound to escape Grinpayne is a low whine.
