"Only monsters play God"
༒
Katharina Vaughner has always been drawn to death, mysteries, and the shadows that polite society tells her to ignore. While her sister Elise urges her to fulfill her expected role as an 18th-century woman and marry, Katharina's heart remains untouched-until she meets Viktor Frankenstein. Brilliant, arrogant, and consumed by forbidden knowledge, Viktor awakens in her a fascination deeper than anything she has ever known, or perhaps not him, but what he has created.
When Katharina uncovers Viktor's darkest secret-the Creature, stitched together from the parts of dead men-her world fractures. She was never meant to see him, never meant to feel anything for such a being. And yet she does. Torn between her desire, her duty, and the monstrous truth she can no longer unsee, Katharina finds herself slipping into the blurred space between life, death, and forbidden love...

BENEATH THE BROKEN CROSS, finan the agile
༺♰༻ She had travelled far and wide, through lands that reeked of iron and incense, where saints bled and sinners prayed. She had warred with angels and supped with devils, her blade wet with mercy and vengeance alike. She had watched kingdoms crawl gasping from the womb, only to be cradled by the wrong kings, crowned by unworthy hands. She had seen men die with her name fumbling from their lips, a final breath wasted on a woman made of storm and bone. She had known cruelty so intimately it had become her second skin and now, somehow, she was beginning to know love. It frightened her. It softened her. Perhaps that was why it felt like dying. Maybe, she thought, she'd choose love anyway. Reciprocity- it all came down to that in the end, Karasteinna supposed. Love was not conquest nor surrender, not giver nor receiver but the trembling place between. As with lovers: when it is right, you cannot say who is kissing whom or whose soul is devouring the other. You only know that you are both burning and for once, neither of you minds. the last kingdom finan x oc season 2 - ??? smut warning
