Undertaker's last name is Rossignol, the French word for "nightingale".

Celtic Legend Series

Part 1 - The Omen of the Dragons

A theory of Vincent Phantomhive's connection to the Tower Bridge based on an ancient Celtic legend in which a half-mortal child is sacrificed to construct a tower above a pool of water. A prediction of Undertaker's final fight and ultimate fate as the Celtic dragon.

Floire et Blancheflor Series

Examining the parallels between Undertaker & Claudia Phantomhive and the titular characters "Floire" and "Blancheflor" from a medieval French tale of forbidden love.

Part 1 - Happy Birthday, You Crazy Kids

Floire et Blancheflor were born on the same day of the week preceding Easter, "Palm Sunday". Undertaker and Claudia were also born on the same day of that week, "Holy Monday" - Undertaker in 1331, Claudia in 1830.

Tumblr's dumb link thing won't work so here. I posted a little fic. It's called A War of Resolve. Undertaker visits Tanaka in hospital. The grandfathers ask each other okay alright what the hell are we going to do about this kid. That's it that's the fic.

New Undertaker drawings have me losing my mind, here's a snippet of a Claudiataker fic entry I'm working on for my Nightingale's Lament series

"No," Cloudia agrees with a nod. "I suppose Poe considered The Black Death a little too passé for the modern audience." She pauses and angles her head towards him, her eyes sparkling through the ornate mask, outshining any gem on her person. "Present company excluded, of course."

She has no idea how very right she is - unless, of course, she does.

He keeps his face impassive, his tone apathetic, but she is always seeing more of him than he intends. "Lady Phantomhive, if by some small chance the plague does make a return tonight, I can assure you I will have had nothing to do with it."

She hums doubtfully. "Ah, but what other reason might you have for attending tonight's soirée?"

"Other than spreading darkness and decay?" Cedric asks wryly. "The same as most here, I would think. I received an invitation."

"Did you now?" Her frown is hidden beneath her mask as she looks out again to the other guests, the couples who had begun dancing in a swirl of bright skirts and feathers, but he sees it all the same. "My, how curious. I wonder what other tradespeople may be among us tonight, unrecognized?"

"The thrill of a masked ball," Cedric deadpans, and her resulting huff of laughter satisfies him more than he might ever admit.

"I do not know how I could have ever doubted your enthusiasm for such a gathering, Monsieur, do forgive me." Cloudia turns to him, considering. "Although, in the spirit of the evening, I suppose we ought to leave titles at the door?"

And all decorum with it, no doubt. He might have expected this as soon as he saw her. "Ought we?" he prompts, slightly wary.

"Well, who is to say we recognized one another in our costumes?"

Only, they had. She had spotted him with an immediacy that unnerved him, for his methods of achieving obscurity were not limited to the masks and cloaks of their fellow partygoers, and Cedric…

Cedric feared he would know Cloudia Phantomhive anywhere.
