cureforsuffering: (some things become such a part of us)
CHARACTER NAME: Iris Virga
CANON: Vampire: The Requiem AU, "worst ending" AU

→ standard AU notes:
  • addition of psychic vampires ("predators" a.k.a. Shepherds) to the "food chain," at the tier above vampires: classic
  • chron focused on the events after a worldwide disaster which had been orchestrated by predators to prevent a vampire plan to reveal themselves to humanity en masse

→ character AU notes:
  • "OU" summary: here
  • at a critical moment of loss, turned to the de-facto leader of the Shepherds, rather than to Grace.
  • it has been about eighty years since she was "uplifted" in response.
  • she's fine now. :)

from "Voices"

We don’t forgive being as we are.

[...]

There are those fallen who don’t get up so as not to fall again.

The dream that doesn't feed on dream vanishes.
