When I read the prompt, I made a tumblr post that just said "brb re-reading Goblin Market and Carmilla so I can write Vanessa/Mina fic." If the show makes generous use of literary references, I figure so can I!
Plenty of free copies on the web (incl. Project Gutenberg), yay public domain! (It's the "you are mine, you shall be mine, you and I are one forever" bit.) Lesbian vampires FTW!
I'm not even sure I HAVE an endgame pairing for this show, though I can happily support V/Mina. I'm mostly along for the cracktastic ride, and marveling at a Dorian Gray who cares about consent checks.
(As do I. I have such complicated thoughts about Dorian and the way he
mirrors people back at themselves -- god, the meta I want to write here
could easily end up book-length.)
You write the meta, I'll be over here writing the scene we didn't get between Ethan and Dorian. I may have to dial it far enough back to make the fucking absinthe go cloudy when Dorian adds the water, though.
