Name: Key of Holly, Lock of Hawthorn
Story: Holly and Hawthorn
Colors: Iridium #3 (opportunity only knocks once), Newsprint #7 (You can make yourself enter somewhere frightening if you believe you'll profit from it. The natural response is to flee, but you don't act that way anymore.), Psychedelic Purple #8 (you were only waiting for this moment to be free)
Supplies and Styles: palette knife (Paperdemon), pastels (ladiesbingo "something useful")
Word Count: 2,000
Rating: teen
Summary: Charlotte receives her talisman.
Note: I wrote this for the Paperdemon Art RPG, so it's three chapters that each fill a character creation prompt from that RPG. A kind of a starter for an adventure, I suppose.

Word Count: 2,372
Rating: mature
Warnings: Murder, implied rape, slavery, demons, brainwashing, black magic, suicidal thoughts, poverty, unequal relationships, bad breakups.
Summary: Philip Sharpe is a valet. He used to be something else.
Note: This is a rewrite combining some earlier ficlets I wrote before into a whole, while also fixing issues and closing plotholes. I will let those old ones stay up, why not, but this will be the new "official" beginning of the Holly and Hawthorn series, and I intend to also rewrite Charlotte's ficlets into something more substantial. We'll see. Please note that this is a gothic horror series and I am giving myself permission to be as ridiculously over the top as I wish.
