On a Florence + the Machine kick, how do we feel about more Frankenstein? But this time, with a bit of dark obsession because I Am So Normal I Promise You???
Anyways, thinking about reanimation. Thinking about wanting so desperately wanting to save a loved one from death, you're willing to make yourself both monsters to do it.
AU where Henry Clerval lives, escapes, and finds Victor dead in his laboratory not more than an hour later. He bargains with the monster, he can have his companion if only he saves Victor, they both have Victor's research and please, God, save him, I can't live without him… the monster agrees, under the condition that Henry actually fulfills on his duty, which he does. Victor awakens three days later to the face of the man he'll never admit to anyone but himself he loves, oh how he loves, and he is angry. If only he was allowed to die in peace, no matter how messed up that sounds, that would be more honorable than what he is being put through now. Clerval knows Victor well, though, and with the monster and his companion long gone he just decides to straight up kidnap Victor, treating him in a manner ever so fragile, like a doll or maybe a fallen Angel-not-yet-Devil. If Victor won't live for Henry, he'll make Victor's life so all-consumed by Henry until he chokes, and then he'll bring Victor back to life again.
Anyways, I post more Messed Up Crap TM TM alongside this, stay tuned for my mental breakdown and subsequent electroshock therapy in a 60's Asylum. Have fun y'all. Darkness is to be expected, this will go to DMs whether there's smut or not due to the nature of this.
I can discuss hard limits and triggers on my end with you, but a short list would be no explicit s/a or fade-to-black on that, I don't mess like that and genuinely, it's not the direction I go in for these. Also, please no explicit suicide scenes! Fade-to-black is fine, but don't describe the gory details no matter how true-to-life-and-clinical-depression you think you're being. I don't mess like that. Lastly, I don't like super gory self harm scenes with relation to specifically cutting, keep it brief and even fade-to-black or not at all. Condensed to one post with a trigger warning is what we go for here, folks. Other forms of self harm are barely acceptable such as negative self talk (this is the only one there will be large amounts of so tw for that) or harmful drug use (this is also going to be copiously used but less so than other topics) etc. etc. just… please know your limits and mine, I've struggled with the big ol' mental health enough and I know that others on here have too, so just be mindful of limits of the both of us and stay safe!!
Templates can be used, but aren't required if we both sufficiently understand the characters.
