    Summary

    Our faces were inches apart. My heart beat each breath like it was the last. I realized, in spite of all the self-preservation I had left, that I very much wanted to kiss her.

     

    “You’re a vampire,” I gasped instead.

     

    Bella Swan has moved to the small town of Forks, Washington to reconnect with her estranged father before she goes to college. While navigating a father-daughter relationship gone stale, and a strange increase in wild animal attacks, she encounters a group of mysterious classmates who may or may not be entirely human. One of them, Edythe Cullen, seems to have a particular wish to see Bella gone for good. Bella is sure she feels the same way, if only Edythe weren’t so interesting, and alluring, and clearly hiding so many dark secrets...

    Set against gloomy, small-town paranoia, By Blood and By Bleed is a gothic tale of sapphic attraction that blurs the line between life and death, and the lengths we will go to protect those we love.

    Summary

    I feel all of this, watch this untouchable girl sink to the level of my own violation and sweat, and I think of how unfair it is. How wrong it is. I watch with unblinking eyes, not moving, silent. I don’t break anything.

    It’s my fault, anyways, for believing Utena was anything greater than just another foolish child.

    ~ Anthy’s journey to realising she is in love with Utena, and what she can and can’t do about it. A story inspired by Mitski's "Working for the Knife"

    Summary

    The skies were changing; darkening and storming more and more often. Her life was changing; the prince was not as close as he once had been and would not speak of it. The world was changing – the citizenry increasingly resentful of the palace, and their faceless scorn mounting. Her body was changing as well, and she understood none of it.

    Summary

    Utena Tenjou is a normal woman about to have a normal wedding that certainly isn't one last desperate attempt to quell the constant phantom pain in her chest. The florist has other ideas, and when the flowers arrive all semblance of normality crumbles into bizarre, bittersweet memories and a surrealistic struggle against ancient forces.
