What the Water Gave Me | Ruby da Cherry

(I ACCIDENTALLY DELETED THE ORIGINAL PLEASE GIVE THIS ANOTHER READ AND VOTES IF YOU ENJOYED IT!!!)

I see two lovers staring over the edge of the cauldron of hell. Do they both wish for death? That means their love will end in hell. I couldn't stop laughing.

What happens when you die but keep living? What happens when the heart keeps beating but the soul has moved on and so has everyone else? That's the kind of thing a ghost might say, and Aristos knows that feeling all too well. That is, until Aristos meets another ghost who helps him follow his silver cord.

A quick few things I want to say before reading the story. This is my first time since elementary school writing anything even remotely fantasy/supernatural. This story has been in the works since probably about 2014, though it's been heavily rewritten over and over again (it started as a danisnotonfire fic LMAO DON'T @ ME). This version has been worked on since about late 2017. I drew a lot of inspiration from real-world mythology and folk tales, as well as pop culture references (so let me know if you notice any references it'll be fun!). It took a lot of time and research to write this and I put a lot of effort into it so please let me know how I'm doing and what you think of it!
