    Summary

    Vaggie’s told the basics—she was a prostitute, she used to struggle with addiction, she fell into Hell, she met and befriended Charlie, she fell in love, enter the Happy Hotel and it’s quirky characters with a background of fierce devotion and loyalty to her awesome girlfriend.

    But there’s a lot more to it than what she likes to tell.
    ___________
    The working title for this was “I wanted to end pride month with a bang” and I chose to share that with y’all, ‘cause it was, frankly, brilliant.

    I had this in my drafts, workshopping it, adding on new details, and now it’s gone—but, y’know, one of the hardest pieces of writing advice I’ve ever taken to heart is that when a scene, or the words, or the moment isn’t working, the best thing you can do is delete every fucking word you’re struggling with and start from scratch.

    …I’m making a career outta this.

    Summary

    It is the winter of 1852 and Erik is beginning to unravel.
    Or: How Nadir saves Erik from himself.

    (Very) loosely based on Kay's book; Erik was rescued by Professor Guizot when the fair he in which he was imprisoned passed through Paris. He bought him his freedom, both from the fair and from his mother, and brought him up, educating him as they travelled around Europe.

    But the effects of being abused as a child and then displayed as a freak are long-lasting.
    ----
    If Erik was a mixture of Raskolnikov and Sebastian Flyte.
