crossover_chickAnd I find myself kicking off the Christmas season with a glut of Forgotten Vows Verse! Let me provide you the links to the latest chapter -- which, I should say, is the Rutledge Asylum chapter, so there is creepy imagery. Particularly involving what Victorians thought of as good for mental health and what happens to our ginger-haired companion from the early levels. So yeah, if you're squicked, read with caution. That said, links:
Chapter 21 on FF.net
Chapter 21 on AO3
Fortunately, the drabble I have for today is at least slightly more upbeat:
Day One:
“So – um – is Father Christmas coming this year?”
Victor looked up from his sketchbook in surprise. “Pardon, Charlie?”
Charlie scuffed his foot against the floorboards. “I talked to Abigail and Reggie – they were here for last Christmas, and they said that–” He stopped and looked down, refusing to meet Victor’s eyes. “Dr. Bumby told them Father Christmas was much too busy to bother with us.”
Well. As if he didn’t have enough reasons to hate the man. Victor knelt down in front of Charlie, putting a gentle hand on his shoulder. “Don’t worry. Father Christmas is coming this year – I promise.”
Yeah, I just can't see Bumby bothering to play Santa with the children. He does buy the occasional present just to keep them happy and quiet, but he never made a huge fuss over birthdays or holidays. Probably didn't see the need given his business. Bastard. . . Houndsditch under Dr. Wilson is a much nicer place. This is set in the gap between "Remembering You" and "Fixing You," by the by -- that's the only Christmas Victor and Alice spend in Houndsditch in the ficverse. Though they do pay a yearly holiday visit to the place simply in the name of goodwill.
Not much else to say, except that I have been deprived of my Castlevania by YouTube being a douche to Helloween4545. I want to see the end of "Order of Ecclesia" darn it! Hopefully he'll be able to get it up soon. . . Just been a rainy and miserable Sunday. Fortunately I had nowhere to be. Gotta start planning for Tuesday, though. Ah yes, waking up early, how I did NOT miss you. . .at least it's only for six days over two weeks. And if it does help me find gainful employment, it'll be worth it.
Anyway, I may take an early shower, and I do have some RPing to catch up on, so later!
