The Bear // on the fate of the tulip sultan, by Katrina Vandenberg

[niamh-writes-things]

even as you cry over pictures I place arm around you, when you deliver flowers to the dirt I stand beside you. even from beyond the grave your sweet,sweet kiss is all I dream of,my love

[windlass-abbey]

I looked outside the window this morning

A horse made of clouds galloped across the open plains of the sky

Oranges and purples streaked across the dazzling blue

For some reason I saw your eyes

Smiling in the sunrise hues

No ghosts need apply.' is such a good line youd think its from one of those 75k fics with all lowercase titles but its not its from The Adventure of the Sussex Vampire (1924, Arthur Conan Doyle) in the middle of a scene where sherlock holmes and dr watson are unironically debating the existence of vampires
