Years after Victor Frankenstein's death, his creation still walks the world. Wandering, hunted, and searching for something he cannot name. In the woods of Southern England, Adam finds refuge in the Aster Hermitage, where a girl practices alchemy far from the judgment of the village. What begins as a lesson in Crafting slowly becomes something neither of them is prepared to confront. Inspired by both by Mary Shelley's Frankenstein and Guillermo del Toro's 🌚 Btw, I am also posting this on AO3 under another name.
