Grand-Prize Winner of the Wuthering Heights Reimagined Contest 🏆 A Southern gothic reimagining of Wuthering Heights. Content note: One weirdly erotic scene (not explicit) + some light cussin'. Cathy Earnshaw is engaged to a decent and thoroughly respectable man. The party at his family's South Carolina estate is everything she's dreamed of - champagne glasses glinting under string lights, Spanish moss drifting in the sultry breeze - until Heathcliff shows up. Four years he's been gone. They used to run wild in the woods behind her family home, drawing blood and making promises no one else would understand. Now he's returned, hardened and hollow. When he ruptures the smooth surface of her genteel world, Edgar and his friends don't know how to handle him. But Cathy does.
