The ultimate sapphic vampire crossover. Carmilla from Castlevania and Carmilla from the 1872 gothic novel by Le Fanu. It came to me one evening when I was chatting with @belciiboo , after my reread of Carmilla, that I needed to see these two in each others arms, dripping with blood, a scene of beauty, gore, intimacy, and a dash of horror.

I had this vision of Azriel breaking through his habit of idealization represented through a painting. The painting symbolizing his history of limerence and rendering women as untouchable ideals.

On the other end of this painting is Gwyn. She is the muse that finally reached back. She isn’t just paint and canvas, or the ideals his scarred hands shouldn’t taint. She faces all of him, and in doing so, breaks that barrier of idealism when he least expects it.

She meets him with fingers outstretched toward his shadowed and scarred hand. His shadows are present and curious, greeted with a smile.

I read a quote in a book the other day that perfectly described finding beauty in the unexpected: 𝘗𝘦𝘳𝘩𝘢𝘱𝘴 𝘢 𝘱𝘳𝘦𝘤𝘰𝘯𝘥𝘪𝘵𝘪𝘰𝘯 𝘰𝘧 𝘵𝘳𝘶𝘦 𝘣𝘦𝘢𝘶𝘵𝘺 𝘪𝘴 𝘴𝘶𝘳𝘱𝘳𝘪𝘴𝘦, 𝘩𝘦 𝘵𝘩𝘪𝘯𝘬𝘴: 𝘳𝘦𝘢𝘭 𝘣𝘦𝘢𝘶𝘵𝘺 𝘮𝘶𝘴𝘵 𝘴𝘦𝘦𝘮 𝘢𝘴 𝘵𝘩𝘰𝘶𝘨𝘩 𝘪𝘵 𝘩𝘢𝘴 𝘧𝘢𝘭𝘭𝘦𝘯 𝘢𝘣𝘳𝘶𝘱𝘵𝘭𝘺 𝘧𝘳𝘰𝘮 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘴𝘬𝘺.. 𝘰𝘳 𝘦𝘭𝘴𝘦 𝘤𝘰𝘮𝘦 𝘧𝘳𝘰𝘮 𝘥𝘦𝘦𝘱 𝘪𝘯𝘴𝘪𝘥𝘦 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘦𝘢𝘳𝘵𝘩-𝘴𝘰𝘮𝘦 𝘱𝘭𝘢𝘤𝘦 𝘸𝘩𝘦𝘳𝘦 𝘪𝘵 𝘩𝘢𝘥 𝘴𝘩𝘰𝘯𝘦 𝘴𝘦𝘤𝘳𝘦𝘵𝘭𝘺 𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘶𝘯𝘴𝘦𝘦𝘯, 𝘶𝘯𝘵𝘪𝘭 𝘺𝘰𝘶 𝘤𝘢𝘮𝘦 𝘢𝘭𝘰𝘯𝘨 𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘴𝘢𝘸 𝘪𝘵.

It reminded me so much of the last line in Azriel’s bonus chapter where he describes the image of Gwyn as a thing of secret, lovely beauty. We can find beauty anywhere, but it is those moments that interrupt expectation and arrive unannounced that linger deep in the chest.
