Johannabarker Stories

after years of locked rooms, blinds and shutters... Johanna finally gets to experience what is is to be free. hand in hand with the gentle sailor boy, Johanna is able to take flight. -- a series of drabbles surrounding the lives of Johanna & Antony from Sweeney Todd (main paring: Johanna x Antony)

~DISCONTINUED~ We will be seeing each person's point of view in the trauma and sorrow they went through in those painful 15 years while Benjamin was in prison, but we'll also be seeing his perspective while he's in custody and other characters such as Mrs. Lovett, Lucy, and Johanna.

"And in that darkness when I'm blind with what I can't forget..." A series of letters written by the wrongfully imprisoned man who would become "The Demon Barber of Fleet Street" addressed to his beloved wife, daughter, and best friend. (Based on the musical mainly.)

Something draws them together yet pushes them apart simultaneously. A songbird romance has a false lyric. Cooped up in authority you can go bitter... or you can go mad. Benjamin Barker returns to London as Sweeney Todd and meets the perfect ally while Anthony Hope meets a nightingale and a crow who teach him his own naivety. Maida Fogg just wants to get out of her own asylum. Twisting tales have always made a good read. yet what of a good life?

Johanna and Anthony are leaving for Plymouth, they're in a rush due to Johanna's growing anxiety. That is... until they stumble into a young Tobias Ragg. (Elements of both the movie and stage play!)

What if the roles of Eleanor and Lucy were reversed?

An AU in which the Judge doesn't take Johanna, so Nellie raises her. TW: • Brief mention of assault (in reference to what happened to Lucy Barker) • Mentions of suicide • Mentions of abuse • Mentions of the Judge's whole creepy thing with Johanna Also, CW regarding violence, and mentions of murder and cannibalism (although this is a Sweeney Todd story, so y'all are probably expecting that)

What if Sweeney had a sister? When she comes back to London to see her brother, what awaits her is a bloodbath of what once was. What will happen when she runs into her niece and her soon-to-be nephew-in-law? And what will happen when she finds out about Mrs. Lovett, and how her 'son' Toby was responsible for her brothers death?

Just some one shots about the Victorian crime duo, 'cause why not? None of these stories are connected to each other (unless they have more than one part).

Sweeney is upset with Nellie for lying to him, but he spares her life, unable to bring himself to harm someone so dear to him. Nellie is deeply hurt, feeling sad to have caused Sweeney such pain, and fearing that she'll never get to repair things with him. Despite all the pain though, they can't help but still care for each other just as much as they did before.
