    Summary

    Based on the 1990 miniseries. A kind of fix-it AU.

    Erik never expected to survive the confrontation on the roof. Now he must start life over in a new town, far away from Paris, where he finds fulfillment as a talented florist. Being thrust into the public is terrifying, but comes with its own rewards including the budding friendship of a local seamstress.

    Summary

    It's been a year since Victor Frankenstein took his last breath. With no choice but to live, Victor's creation accepts a favor from the Danish captain who had listened to both sides of a tragic tale. He has settled into a semblance of life as a blacksmith apprentice to Captain Anderson's brother, Elrik.

    Evelyn Montgomery, mistreated by her brother and forced into servant-like labor despite an injury that leaves her crippled, finds warmth and kindness at the home of the Andersons, old friends of her family. She then meets Adam, the Andersons’ enormous, scarred and painfully shy apprentice.

    (Continuation of the 2025 version directed by Guillermo del Toro.)

    Summary

    It’s the eve of her wedding, and Elizabeth can’t stop looking at a dead leaf…

    What if Victor's aim had gone astray by a few inches? What if the Elizabeth who lay in the Creature's arms as he carried her out of the mansion was not dying but only injured?

    Far from polite Victorian society, alone with the Creature who refuses to let her die, Elizabeth must grapple with a forbidden desire that somehow feels like both sin and salvation.

    And something inside her, long kept in darkness, finally starts to bloom.

    (Or: Elizabeth meets the Creature again, and what we all want happens.)
