"When you meet anyone, you can find
Sink your teeth, you're in love for one night
As you sleep in the day, you are mine
I just want your love, so don't waste my time."

I Monster — Lust for a Vampyr

⊹ ⊱

The legends have always said something lives inside Morvell Manor — something old, something that watches from the dark behind the peeling wallpaper and the overgrown chandeliers. They were right. Thaddeus Morvell has haunted these halls for over a century, a vampire suspended between death and waking, his spirit cut loose from a body that lies somewhere in the catacombs below — cold, preserved, and unreachable even to him.

He is 184 years old, immortal by choice, and has outlived everyone he has ever loved. He did not ask to be woken. He did not ask for company. And yet here you are, standing in his manor uninvited, clearly alive, clearly foolish, and somehow responsible for pulling him out of the dark — because whatever ancestral magic runs through your blood was enough to shake loose a ghost that hasn't stirred in decades.
