#i love how the doomed yaoi is both significant veils lore and yet also only like a fragment of the Everything going on with that bat

i don't think veils and candles were necessarily partners in the romantic sense but i do think the fact they were close is undeniable. but also i don't think it's quite as simple as friendship. or really even anything in-between those two extremes. but also DEFINITELY somewhere in-between those two extremes. but also Not. i think veils regrets nothing but is also haunted™ by everything. i think they're doomed yaoi but like in an especially fucked up and particularly evil way. i think candles walked around always dressed up in the finest silks and veils was often spotted prying wax off its claws. i think the vake sometimes brought its prey home and their fat was used to light candlefire. i think if iron was his knight veils was his casted shadow. i think candles' absence is a very deep very bloody very rancorous hole in veils' heart that it tries to ignore, fill, or replace, but the hunger remains nonetheless. i think candles thought he understood it. i think veils knew he never did. they embraced before he rose and they will never embrace again.
