Sweenellie Stories

Just a little collection of "scenes between scenes" and such. (A fair amount of these moments will be referenced in I Never Stopped Loving You, so I guess this could be seen as a prequel, but this can also be a standalone story. This was kinda just an excuse to write about my various Sweeney Todd headcanons.)

Sweeney Todd has completely fallen for Nellie Lovett, but he struggles with expressing his feelings. He finds his way around this through writing letters to her. This short story is a collection of the letters Sweeney wrote to his beloved Nellie, though there's also scenes that take place outside of the letters.

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)

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.
