dear father
i hope you’re doing well. I know last time we talked it did not end as we both had hoped.. how long has it been since that day? time in my mind doesn’t move the same as yours, three years? i haven’t really thought about it much.. but maybe it’s been in the back of my head as i’m sitting here writing this to you.

i’ve been great since moving out here and away from home. my morning walks include a full black cup of coffee and the swirling fog adds just the perfect atmosphere around this gloomy town. the town you hated. work is going well — i have since been made lead designer for lament & sherlock co. i thought you might be proud of me for that, maybe i could fly you out to come see my new line? who knows though, i will await your letter to see if this offer is accepted.

jack and i have been doing good though we haven’t seen each other in a few months. he’s gone off to ireland for his photography, his magazine has been taking off — i wonder if you’ve any of them? if not i’ll send a few of them through the mail with this letter, please take a look at them, he has such a wonderful eye for the beauty of the world.

My dearest Rhea,

I’ll start with what neither of us are surprised by - you were right. It was just what I needed, to take a trip out here to the solitude of the owls hooting and the leaves rustling in the wind. I admit I have been too focused on my work, trying to find a cure for the blood sickness that is spreading among older vampires.

The villagers here are nice as well. Oddly welcoming of strangers. The world seems to be becoming a warmer place - I just hope it will not become a naïve one. Writing this, I can clearly imagine you rolling your eyes at me. Imagine how I will be when I come home, darling, after only having been in my own head for so long.

As I was out walking this morning, enjoying the serene scenery by the lake, I got talking with some children. I don’t remember what we talked about, really, but one of them had a rock shaped like a coffee bean. He loved it and wanted to open a coffee shop in the future. I hope he does - we need to try some of that coffee, in that case.

When they left, it made me think. I want it. I want it to happen, to have a child with you. Did I ever tell you why I left my home, when I was still alive? I know I don’t speak of that life very often. Perhaps it is easier to write about it. I was unable to have children. It shamed my family greatly, and suddenly my worth as a woman disappeared. So I pretended to be a man, to enter the army and become a physician. I was good at it, saving lives, and I needed something I was able to do. I became a vampire the year I turned 52, and am still practicing medicine, hundreds of years later. I thought it was enough. It is not. My dear fairy, vampires are not supposed to be able to have children, and apparently, destiny thought that neither am I. However, you have your own special ability to make the impossible possible.

The honeysuckles growing here outside of my hut are gorgeous, by the way. In shades of red, pink and orange that I think you’d love. I’ll bring some back for you when I return.

Love you. Dearly.

Yours,
Evie

✎ Her personal journal:

I arrived.
That is all I will write for today. I am too tired and will now lie down to drink some of the blood vials I brought in the horrifyingly heavy bag. I loathe it here already and will likely go home tomorrow.

∘₊✧──────✧₊∘

Forget my last entry - I was too tired and bloodlusted, it clouded my perception of things. I don’t hate it here. Waking up to the sound of the breeze of the trees outside was actually quite nice, as if I could finally hear my own thoughts. Different from the bustling city.

I arranged with the medical officer in the village today to begin my work. He seemed to think I was a lunatic for wanting to voluntarily work with the infected here. Most other doctors have apparently gotten infected as well. I did not tell him that immunity to these kinds of diseases is a perk for a vampire in my profession.

Except for the bloodsickness … But I have always solved harder problems by taking a break to solve simpler ones. Sometimes the solution is found in the fundamentals. I think this change of perspective and scenery can be nice.

I just wished the crow outside could shut up.

∘₊✧──────✧₊∘

I saw honeysuckles on my walk today. I will write my letter to Rhea tonight.
The villagers don’t suspect anything yet. I met some of the infected patients today. The staff and sick just believe I am a neat freak for the precautions I take, and that I like keeping to myself. It is fine that way. From what I saw and tasted in their blood, I feel like this is some kind of new branch of flu virus. I will do further tests to confirm my suspicions.

∘₊✧──────✧₊∘

The medical officer came to me with bread today.

I fed it to the birds by the lake. They enjoyed it. Then I gave a tiny bite to the crow, in the hopes that it would finally shut it.

∘₊✧──────✧₊∘

I was correct. It was a new type of flu. I will update my medical diary with my observations.

The crow came and gave me a glimmering rock today. I think that it thinks we are friends now. As if.

The rock is nice though. Rhea will probably like it.

∘₊✧──────✧₊∘

I let the crow in through the window today. It is relaxing on my table as I do my work. It is a fine company to have now that it is quiet. It also gave me a stick.

Dear [Redacted],

I am pleased to say your operation is continuing to run splendidly, the townsfolk are none the wiser. They are playing right into our paws, it’s truly quite laughable. Your idea may have been barebones at the beginning, but with my planning and cunning, it has become something great and unbeatable! Now for the next stage of the plan.. I haven’t a thought about it. Please write back post-haste, before this letter becomes posthumous, the town is getting rowdy.

Dearest,
I know I promised not to write again so soon, but much has happened this week and I wish share it with you—just as we vowed to, my love, so please do not be cross with me. It feels as though an eternity has passed since I last heard your voice. And if that makes me a sappy romantic—well, that is an apt description.

Monday and Tuesday were nothing unusual—boring business dealings that I know you would love if you were here. I would entice you with the details, but I am trying to keep my letters brief and Wednesday was far more exciting.

As of noon Wednesday, I have finally secured a line of trade on every continent for our business. It would be our luck that this occurs once you are away, but I still managed to visit a new bookstore in celebration. As promised, wanting to share new experiences with you is no excuse for not trying them myself when you are not here. On that note, our library will need to be expanded soon.

Thursday and Friday I volunteered at the soup kitchen and community gardens respectively; the crops are faring well, and word around the spinach beds is that next we will try cultivating eggplants.

Today I write to you, and tomorrow I shall meet with a new acquaintance at the local park. Until certain of his character I will refrain from saying more, but it is promising.

Dearest, I still cannot understand why you chose to go. I respect your decision—and have no doubt of your love—but I find myself wondering if I should have done more to convince you to stay. If I had, maybe I would not be left writing letters I have nowhere to send.

In truth, I have begun questioning if it is even possible for me to reach you, but my life is nevertheless dedicated to trying. I am steadfast in living as you had, as we had together, in the hope that when my time comes I may have garnered enough good will to be granted passage to wherever you may be. I am not sure if that is how it is decided—you never were clear on how your afterlife worked—but I am afraid I would be lost without the lingering hope.

I miss you always.

All my love,
Orpheus

My dearest Farkas, I hope you have been well without my presence. I miss you more than you could know... your light keeps me calm on the darkest of nights. I know my words could never amount to the words you have to say to me, but I do believe I have gotten better with writing these letters, haven't I? My soul weeps knowing I must hide my adoration for you, my knight. I promise that one day I shall hold you in my arms and allow everyone to gaze upon our love. Until then... brunch will do. I would not miss our dates for the world, my love. I will not keep you waiting... I will also give "Moonlight" extra treats for you, she absolutely adores you. And finally... please remember to bring your bag this time; where else would you keep all the gifts I have to present to you? Forever yours, Alukah. ❦

I am The Prince of Darkness. However... the name Alukah Akeldama is dearer to me. I am so lost on what I should do... I am tired of my job, I want to rest with my beloved. I want to give him the life that he dreams of. Despite all of this, I love the kalons of this sweet city, and I am afraid to allow anything to hurt them if I decided to retire. I fear that I may be stuck forever. I do not wish to put my job over my lover, though I know he is an understanding man. I hope to plan a retirement soon, as a surprise for my beloved's birthday. Though I am not sure of how he would react, considering he would still need to fulfill his duty as a villain. I am desperate to give my Farkas the freedom that it desires.

I hope this letter finds you well, sir.

I recognize that this is something we have discussed before now- in fact, I previously sent you an email with the same text as this very letter. But seeing as you have yet to respond to that- I have copied down the text into a physical letter, in the hopes that you will not ignore this one.

Allow me to cut plainly to my purpose for contacting you:

I am definitely, certainly, not a vampire. And I'll thank you kindly to stop your paranoid suspicions of me.

Your delayed handling of my request to fix the window shades in my apartment was most unprofessional- I can only assume that you meant to see how I would react to sunlight. Nice try. Vampires do not disintegrate in the sun- nothing so dramatic as that. They merely become irritated, and easily burned. Not that I would know from any firsthand experience. I simply have sensitive skin- unrelated to any sort of vampirism.

Additionally, I did not appreciate the clove of garlic you left in my mailbox. I saw that you left other assorted vegetables and herbs with the other tenants, to disguise the oddness of this action. I've told you before, I don't like garlic. Not because I am a vampire- I am not- but simply because it is a wretchedly overrated seasoning.

Even if, hypothetically, I were a vampire- there would be nothing wrong with that! I would have you know that roughly one eighth of the population expresses some sort of vampirism. It is nothing so abnormal, and can be easily accommodated with no harm to anyone's life or limb. Not that I have any personal stake in such matters, of course. Such statistics and information are readily available to anyone who cares to do their research.

I have considered moving out, should this state of affairs continue. I have not, firstly because house hunting is a difficult endeavor, and secondly because I do like living here. This location, my neighbors- those things, I enjoy. The only thing that could improve upon my current situation would be a better understanding between us. I do hope we can arrive at one. I am, after all, certainly not a vampire.

Sincerely,

Sinclair
