Verses

Verses available to be written in for one Miss Margolis. There are great many of them due to having written Emily for as long as I have. Will likely be updated periodically. Some verses I would consider to be singleship and will be noted down below. Others I haven't included below or skipped over because they're hyper-private.

( 🦋 ) = HIGH muse for currently / and or believe it might be of more interest to others to write in for various reasons!

arc i. jubiliciously lovely corpse bride! ( MAIN verse ) 🦋

Following a forbidden whirlwind romance with Lord Barkis, Emily has died at the hands of her fiance and dwells in the Land of the Dead. She is well-liked by many others who continue on beyond death in a cheerfully macabre limbo, and has spent time exploring parts of the ever expanding deathly metropolis, as well as within the Bone and Socket Pub. Emily meets Victor after he slides a ring mistakenly onto her dead finger in the woods — but is eventually set free from her netherworld existence. Interactions can take place anywhere within this time frame, from when she first arrives at the hour of her death up to before she transforms into butterflies.

arc ii. wasp waisted beauty known for miles around! ( MAIN alive!emily victorian era verse ) 🦋

Living during the Victorian era of Great Britain, Emily's family is of the upper class with the title Earl of Bellamond, a noble rank her grandfather earned. She is a sought after prize by suitors and seen as an important step forward in society by her parents. Emily herself only desires a loving relationship full of romance and warmth with a chance to truly be accepted for every part of herself. She must strain to rein in the full sparkle of her luster and adhere to expectations of her parents and the gentry as she navigates a world of splendor and unknowns. To break those expectations and fail her family in front of the monarch with other families constantly spectating could strip them of everything Emily's family has worked so hard to achieve.

arc iv. her diaphanous headdress unleashes in slow motion small bats and horrors! ( the nightmɑre before christmɑs verse ) notes — all i can say is that i understand why this is such a popular crossover concept. 🦋

Freed from the former ties that bound her, Emily departed the earthly plane, leaving behind a pair of young lovers and wishing them wedded bliss and a lifetime of happiness. She drifted through the world in a glowing maelstrom of butterflies, exploring foreign lands and reaching the furthest corners of the earth to discover a copse of trees…one with a grinning jack-o-lantern carved onto its door. It was here Emily found a new home, a town full of monsters and frights. Excited for her new home and the new friends made, Emily has continually worked hard on herself to become quite uniquely proficient at delivering scares for when Halloween unleashes its residents upon the human populace.

Months after her arrival, Emily creates the Welcoming Committee for any new arrivals to Halloween Town that might very well follow her. Named the 'Corpse Bride', Emily has gained an array of otherworldly abilities to aid her in scaring humans. Mortals shriek as her beguiling visage rots before their very eyes. She's beautiful…and terrifying!

Abilities pertinent to THIS verse include:

Death Shifting: Emily can switch between her living mortal appearance to a rotting vision of bridal splendor — once she gains proficiency, the level of rot she chooses and pace at which it happens can be controlled at will.

Transcendent Butterflies: At any point, Emily can burst into an eerily gorgeous maelstrom of black and blue butterflies to travel across the skies to destinations of her choosing. When her butterflies are gathered together, she can reform...both in full and only individual limbs to truly frighten a poor soul.

Determined Immortality: For as long as she chooses, Emily is effectively immortal as she will not age nor can she be killed.

Alluring Charm: Known for her effervescence and charms, along with her shapely hourglass figure even before death, Emily can entice those around her with a voice like a caress, her ethereal beauty, and the music she creates...to an even more unnatural, spellbinding degree beyond conscious thought.

arc vi. uptown girl ( alive modern emily verse ) notes — my take on what a modern emily would be like, no barkis ( ahem, he could be inserted as an obstacle later on ); ended up an 80s verse, though if there's a preference for even more modern that's do-able too. default age set at eighteen and during her college years in general.

Born to affluence, Emily's hardships within the Decade of Greed has been relegated primarily to her neglectful home life. Her father continues to put business ahead of time with the family to be rarely seen within their walls. Her mother is as distant and cold as a beautiful, remote star, and at times, rarely cognizant from self-medicating with alcohol, leaving Emily under supervision of nannies and chaperones for much of her life. As family pressure builds upon graduating high school, Emily is expected to honor the prestige the Margolis name is renowned for. While she is indeed excited for Julliard and honing her skill at the piano, Emily remains idealistic when it comes to her prospects for love. Movies and books have helped bring the idea of exciting romances and charming encounters straight to Emily as she steps into the next stage of her life.

arc vii. it is a kind of hunger that brings us to love, a devouring hunger ( straight up blended folk horror verse ) 🦋 notes — technically a private verse, but open to being written with upon request!singleship verse due to her marriage to @fatesrecollection's victor being at the center of its foundation.

Swept up into a whirlwind romance of hushed scandals and a quick marriage, Emily courts and soon after weds Victor Van Dort. She is unaware of the faerie toying with their lives for a chance to hear a song that could make a skeleton cry. Such a song is created when she is brutally murdered in front of her husband who wallows in lonely misery for nearly a year. Dead and gone, Emily is suddenly thrust back into the mortal realm with a body no longer human, resurrected by none other than her dear husband. Now an estrie, Emily craves the blood of mortals with a hunger unmatched as she navigates a world with newfound supernatural capabilities.

Marred in acts untouched by the holy, Emily and Victor flee together across the sea to begin a life anew in the Americas.

Abilities pertinent to THIS verse include:

Superhuman Body: Increased strength, speed, and senses with consumption of blood. Lack of blood means eventual death.

Flight: Can fly as long as her hair is unbound.

Animal Shifting: Able to shift into cats and birds at will.

Daywalking: Sunlight can be uncomfortable after long periods of time but does not immediately burn

arc viii. i wanna do real bad things with you! ( true blood ) notes — technically a private verse, but open to being written with upon request! i have a soft spot for this verse due to the uniquely paternal figure she has in it.

Due to the Margolis family financing a secret vampire hunting legion with other wealthy families, Emily was turned into a vampire as retribution by 𝖤𝗋𝗂𝖼 𝖭𝗈𝗋𝗍𝗁𝗆𝖺𝗇 in the late 19th century. While Emily dearly missed the sunlight, she delighted in the newly obtained freedom she found underneath the moon at night, away from the expectations of noble society and her family. Adjusting to her transformation took time in the beginning as she learned her limits and unbridled craving for the taste of blood. Still, Emily chose to prove herself and be a loyal progeny to Eric. Occasionally she went shopping with and even brought a smile to her sister progeny, Pam.

While she is not as old as other vampires, she has continually learned how to master her new inhuman capabilities.

Vampiric Boost: Increased strength, speed, and senses.

Blood Healing: Capable of healing from various injuries ( barring silver still against skin ) and can use her blood to heal non-vampires.

Flight: Can fly through the sky for sustained durations due to her sire's bloodline. Still learning on controlling herself in the air. Mental and emotional connections are formed when a human drinks vampire blood.

Vampiric Weakness: Silver, lack of sleep, and sunlight.

arc ix. rise from your grave‚ final girl ( alive modern emily verse ) notes — like the title says, it's the final girl verse she deserves but set in modern times. barkis gets his just desserts and emily is surviving and thriving. default age set at twenty-five. 🦋

Brought up an accomplished pianist with many natural gifts from a young age, Emily was expected to have a bright future. Yet she found herself swayed to risk it all when she fell prey to the conniving charms of a much older gentleman. Against her parents' wishes, she planned to elope so that they could be together as Barkis proposed. Instead Emily found herself brutally attacked and left for dead in an unmarked grave in the woods — but surprised her would-be-killer when she climbed out of the hole she had been left to rot in and was able to find help at the side of the road.

She testified against him in court, braving the media scrutiny to put him away behind bars. Barkis never saw the inside of a jail cell, however, as he took his own life.

Emily stepped away from the spotlight, undergoing massive therapy for the trauma induced by Barkis, healing aided by the all consuming power of the arts...and an unexpected interest arising in raising insects. No longer as tightly bound by restrictive parents, Emily adopted a large, fluffy dog named Figaro ( Figgy ) who helped keep her safe. Eventually, she was accepted into Juilliard and moved to an apartment to be on her own. Emily still yearns for a life of romance and passion from someone who loves her for who she truly is. As she looks for that special someone, Emily has emerged back into the world as a blossoming concert pianist whom the media is intensely focused on...as famous for her charms and expressivity, her family name, as she is her dark past.

Hers is a tale of survival, perseverance, and hopeful optimism.

arc x. lively spirit from a fairest star ( cbs ghosts verse ) notes — technically a private verse, but open to being written with upon request! singleship with @fatesrecollection's trevor in a hot and cold slow burn i'm particularly fond of. default age set at twenty.

Tied to the forest and specifically the massive tree she was buried under in a makeshift grave, Emily's spirit lingers past her death. For a time, she watched from the edge of her forest until civilization encroached on her resting place. As the trees of her woods were cut down and fashioned into a variety of carved household objects, Emily found she could travel to where those objects went, and in rare instances, interact through them. Emily's burial tree was used to fashion an ornate mirror and splendid piano that was eventually donated to the Woodstone B&B, whereupon Emily encountered the other ghosts residing there. Many found her power to jump around the world to different relics fascinating, while Jay and Samantha enjoyed her musical skills. Both the piano and mirror reside in the primary lounging room for all to enjoy ( though one ghost in particular would like the mirror moved to his room. )

Abilities pertinent to THIS verse include:

Ghostly Body: A full body apparition reminiscent of when she was killed that can still feel as a human body would. Immense pain experienced when passing through a human.

Medium Access: Can speak to mediums or anyone who sees ghosts.

Undead Travels: Connected with the trees she was buried under, Emily can jump to residents where the remains of those trees have ended up and interact with them. Some trees allow for a greater distance of separation like the one made into a piano that she can still play in death.

arc xi. the social season for flinging petals high ( bridgerton verse ) notes — for further context, even though it's the fault of the suitor, the families had drawn up an agreement, reaching the point of engagement. emily would not be blamed per se, but a mark would be left on her family nevertheless for coming close to being disgraced by association. basically judging her father for not doing his due diligence or for looking outside the ton when there are many ( especially christian ) suitors who would have been better. default age set at twenty.

Dearest Reader,

It has come to my attention that one Miss Emily Margolis has returned to society some two years after her debut to London, and what a prize she had been at the time. Late in bloom compared to many other rising flowers, she swayed above the rest, but her bouquet had already been purchased and arranged before even witnessed by the ton. How disastrous such delicate planning had shattered when her fiancé was found to have wilted beneath pressure of the monarch and flee from reach of the queen’s scepter. Many suitors were disappointed with her absence last year required through uncommon religious customs, though her competition must be pleased for a year’s grace.

Will her return this year herald yet another scandal keen to be witnessed and further besmirch the Earl of Bellamond, or will she flutter forth in glittering splendor to dazzle a marriage minded bachelor?

Arranged for marriage even before her debut into Regency era England at eighteen, Emily miserably expected her life to proceed directly to nuptials soon after being deemed a lady. Instead, after courtship and engagement, the wedding was called off. Her ex-fiance's family had lost a considerable amount of favor with the Queen and the Margolises no longer wished to be associated — so as to protect their name and title. Emily's second year was met with further complications at the death of her grandmother; in adherence to religious customs, the family remained out of society. Now twenty and with no official courtship set up, Emily is on the market for an eligible bachelor. With this second chance, she hopes to find a true love match.
