aaaaaaaaaand Wip Weekend: Abraham Lincoln Vampire Hunter!
Oh boy, throwing it way back here
Wrote this in 2020 and was reminded of it the other day when I rewatched the movie for the first time in a while. I'm still fond of it and would kind of like to flesh it out a little more, but since it's mostly book canon with just a few elements from the movie, I'd probably need to do a reread...
Henry’s face, when it appeared behind the door, was just as Abe remembered it, and yet not at all the same. In Abe’s memory, there was a knowing look to Henry’s eyes, a light of intelligence and humor, and a quirk of wit in his smile. His expression was placid often as not, in a way that soothed the idea of worry. Now, standing before Abe, Henry’s expression was pinched, his skin chalky and his eyes dark. His gaze was worryingly glassy, and rather than carrying himself with the straight-backed grace Abe knew, he was hunched in on himself, just a little, as if– “You’re injured,” Abe blurted, eyes roving Henry’s form, attempting to seek out the source of disruption. Henry offered Abe a wan smile. “Very nice to see you, Abraham. Please come in.”
