"Wings of Quiet Longing" has arrived! I hope everyone enjoys the ride. 🤍
In essence, this tale is a Gothic & Paranormal Romance. I don't make the rules, Romantasy is good for the soul. This is just something Hammer Horror-esque that I decided to write for spooky season and beyond. I've had these original characters for 10+ years, created for RP stories, and I finally decided to bring over to AO3 as well. Alistair and Fenella were inspired by Twelve/Missy and Peter Capaldi/Michelle Gomez.
⸻
In the gloomy streets of Victorian London, a vampire is moonlighting as a vigilante. They seem to be protecting the innocent and punishing the corrupt under the cover of night. But why, and what is it all for?
This is a story of two vampires, former lovers, and the one that was sired. Welcome in Lord Alistair MacKay, the sole owner of Dorcha Castle and a writer and artist in his spare time, his former lover who goes by the name of Fenella, and the one and only man Alistair ever turned, Duncan. The latter is ruthless, and so they bid him farewell a half-century ago, but he’s decided to return. Again, the only question worth asking is why?

Something rather interesting takes place in the castle. Duncan has a bit of information that he wants to share with Alistair and Fenella. He's always been a fan of the theatrics, however, and the afternoon doesn't quite go according to plan.
