Some say Hollywood killed me; others say I did it to myself -- that I just wanted the attention. But I know the truth -- only a surgeon could've made the incisions so precise.

When they found my body, I was cut in two; an almost perfect, linear dissection across my waist. All of my insides had vanished -- removed and jarred to later be tested on and toyed with by my killer.

My beauty was stolen, yet a smile remained -- forever plastered on my face. I craved fame, but what I received was infamy. I had never thought that I would be famous for the fashion of my death, nor had I considered getting a nickname because of it. However, it is because of this nickname that very few know my real name -- or even my real story, for that matter.

I am Elizabeth Short and this is my story -- the story of the Black Dahlia.

"I don't know what's going on, but there's one thing I'm absolutely certain of: Sebastian Michaelis is not human, and I have no clue of what his intention are or what he's capable of doing. " ♞ Bleak. That, she determined, had become the word to sum up Rosalie Everett's ostracized life. Born and raised in Summerville, South Carolina, her childhood marred by the lurid mother of her mother whose killer was never discovered, she was left with a weight that pressed on her chest even after removing herself entirely from both the people and the phantoms of her hometown. Relocated in New York, Rosalie spends her days commuting between school and work, a humdrum schedule that's defined her life for the past three years and left her desolate. However, a visit to an antique shop places Rosalie in possession of a haunting sapphire ring that seems to tether itself to her soul. Ominous circumstances surrounding the gem put the twenty-something in Victorian England with little memory of what got her there, and she finds herself spellbound by a scarlet-eyed, clad-in-black butler whose charms are too convincing to be human under the service of a boy-earl, bound to one another by a sinister contract. As she tries to find her way back home without falling prey to the infernal creature who has taken a dark interest in her, Rosalie finds herself a part of a much larger game when she notices the other entity that pervades her life. ♞ COMPLETED [ 12/26/22 ] | UNEDITED *ruff* draft:) SOUNDTRACK - FALLEN #1 in kuroshitsuji [ 10/08/22 ] #1 in blackbutler [ 05/15/22 ] I do not own Black Butler, nor do I own the characters connected to it.

A geneticist looking for the perfect solution, a biologist searching for the ultimate cure, a scholar pursuing the path of happiness. Three young lives with noble intentions who chose to follow the way of kindness for different reasons. Yet, kindness can take many forms. For some, kindness is found in the small, fleeting acts of goodness, a reminder of the pure, social nature of every precious human. For others, kindness is found in ensuring the best possible future for the incoming generations, even if it means crushing the present between the hands of progress. For the rarest of minds, however, kindness implies destruction, the sacrifice of everything for the sake of a brand new better world. Will they encounter change their mind? Will they accomplish their mission? Will they regret the choices they have made so far? Some believe that even the tiniest pebble thrown in the river of life can irreversibly shape the flow of existence in unpredictable ways, but can a ripple truly change the world?
