Yuletide Reveals: Broken Vessels (Dracula)
As I said, my assignment this year was calliopes_pen. I planned to write the further supernatural adventures of Mina, Jonathan and Dr Seward and spent some time researching Yorkshire ghost stories and legends, which got me an unexpected £5 and knowledge of the existence of the Wold Newton Triangle and drafted up several pages of an accidental demon summoning in a hotel in Bridlington. (The Local Hellfire Club had been meeting there for years and nothing like this had ever happened before the Harkers checked in for the weekend!) And then I was ill and ill and ill. But I had thought of several ideas (with a vague idea of a possible 5 + 1 type thing of supernatural encounters), and one that stood out as possible, simpler but nicely emotive alternative, was this idea around a seance and other-worldly influences lingering.
Broken Vessels (4083 words) by thisbluespirit
Chapters: 1/1
Fandom: Dracula (TV 1968), Dracula & Related Fandoms
Rating: Teen And Up Audiences
Warnings: No Archive Warnings Apply
Relationships: Jonathan Harker/Mina Harker, Jonathan Harker & Mina Harker & John Seward, Mina Harker/Lucy Weston, John Seward/Lucy Weston
Characters: Jonathan Harker, Mina Harker, Abraham Van Helsing, John Seward
Additional Tags: Victorian, seances, Ghosts, Aftermath, Possession, Dr Seward somehow does not faint, Emotional Hurt/Comfort, Post-Canon, this was quite hard to tag for relationships, i could as easily have also tagged Jonathan/John as well
Summary: Jonathan keeps letting things in while Mina and John are having trouble letting go.
I think, in the end, this probably turned out the better Yuletide gift, but I think I'd still like to use the other. Since I actually swiped a couple of things from it for Broken Vessels, I probably can't make it another gift, but I probably could do a different version entirely for me. The world needs the Wold Newton Triangle...
Anyway, it was a good Yuletide! I even got some comments that weren't from my recips & a couple of recs on top, which I really didn't think I would this time, because of the obscurity of all three fandoms. I'm glad I made it - and then there's the whole rest of the collection still. I've barely scratched the surface.
