Summary
Pious brother, to your vices
You were shunned, and burned your cradle
Claim killer, you claim martyr
My brother Cain, my brother AbelThe tale of the Wittebane brothers has been one drenched in loss since it’s beginning, from their early childhood in England, to their arrival in to the New World. Caleb Wittebane dedicated his whole life to protecting the only family he had left.
In the tiny settlement of Grave Field, so named after the Colony’s catastrophic first winter left less than 60 of the original 500 settlers alive, Caleb learns that when everyone is in survival mode fear is more dangerous than any weapon.
Basically, this fic exists because I am a giant history nerd with a hyperfixation on early 1600s America and frankly, as much as I love Wittebro fics, an awful lot of authors seem to fashion their settings in the style of Salem, but the colonial life in the 1610s did not look the same as it did in the 1690s. To put it in perspective: the time difference between the Wittebros arrival and the Salem Witchcraft Trials is the same amount of time between the sinking of the Titanic and the premiere of the James Cameron movie.
