    Summary

    "Take your cousin's choker during rehearsal?" she reads under her breath. Fuck, some people get bored. Message deleted. It's not like Kathryn and Anne get along, but stealing her choker is taking it too far.

    ---

    "Tick tock..."

    These anonymous messages are getting annoying. Does the person sending them ever stop making new accounts? Blocked again.

    ---

    "What do you think Anne would rather have when she goes home today? Her choker or her index finger? You're still on time. It's in your hands"

    ...What? Taking the edge up a notch. Her heart pounds, but the message is deleted. "Fucking weirdo."

    ---

    "Lovely red scarf you're wearing. Tick tock..."

    ...How do they know that? Is... No, the person sending these can't be inside the building, right...?

    ...But then how do they know?

    Summary

    With no one else around, you fixate on your boss.

    Specifically, her slow, reluctant chewing.

    Or

    Is it you, or is Lord Beneviento kind of... gross? Why do you find yourself itching to hold her sometimes inexplicably sticky hand?

    Summary

    “Would you ever want this outside of a dream?” Lord Beneviento finally asked. At some point, she must have moved so she was laying pressed flush against you again, speaking into the back of your skull. Before you could begin to come up with a reply, you felt something twitch against your head where her eye would be.

    Right.

    “No.” You said honestly, your words beginning to slur as you succumbed to exhaustion, “I like this. You’re so warm. I still hate you, I’ve just… been slipping up lately.”

    “You don’t have to hate me."

    “Maybe not here,” you conceded, “but in real life…” you drifted off for a moment, watching the fireplace crackle and flicker, “this is the oddest dream I’ve ever had.”

    “Maybe not here?” Lord Beneviento prompted.

    “Maybe not here,” you hummed, your other hand coming up to run over the lord’s nails, picking at the chip in her polish. She let you.

    Summary

    [There is a newer version of this fic currently being published, 'Under the Garland Moon.']

    Marianne von Edmund has always known there's darkness in her blood. Born to the Crest of the Beast, the dread of its curse has followed her all through her life, driving her to seek sanctuary in the arms of the same goddess who cursed her family to bear it. When her professor encourages her to start taking classes on black magic, a chance encounter with Hapi, bearer of a very different curse, forces Marianne to confront a great many questions that are perilously close to her heart.
