Summary
Isabella had always felt Mary's presence in her life. Had always looked forward to a life of contemplation with other women. The Duke's proposal felt less like an offer and more like a lead weight in the hands of a drowning woman. There were so many reasons to say yes. It felt selfish to say no.

Summary
"what if Measure for Measure, but *spins wheel* vampires?" A faintly modern post-canon 'what if Duke Vincentio vamp'd Isabella at the end, and also Isabella was gay' thought experiment from ages ago.

“You have to eat,” Vincentio says, like a father trying to force mashed potatoes down his child’s throat. His shadow licks his thumb.
“I would rather die,” she tries to say, but he doesn’t hear, and the threat is empty. They both know full well she can’t. -

Summary
“Haste still pays haste, and leisure answers leisure; like doth quit like, and measure still for measure.”
Shakespeare’s play leaves us with several unresolved conflicts, such as Vincentio proposing marriage to Isabella (does she accept it or not?), Claudio dealing with the aftermath of his near-death experience, Angelo losing his title, etc. We, as readers, may well be prone to questioning precisely what the outcomes are. This work is our take on each of the conflicts.

Isabella is a woman who may never be a nun; the Duke a man who is not in truth a monk. Stranger alliances have been made.
