Summary
Among shadows and sighs, death hums her tune,
a lost lover wanders, seeking redemption too soon.Victor walks where life begins to decay,
where love is an echo and hope turns to clay.“Emily” he whispers, but the abyss replies not,
for not all the dead hide away in dark thought.She lives—and he, bound—can only dream,
of the warmth in her hand he can no longer redeem.Beneath the full moon, their dance finds breath,
Emily alone, among branches and death.
She speaks to the wind, to a twisted old tree:“Would you dance with me, dear blessed tree?”
A cold hand clasps hers in reply,
the forest stills, the night lets out a sigh.
A ghost once lost, a soul reawakened,
a forbidden waltz between love and the forsaken.Night after night, in murmurs and hush,
Victor tells stories time turns into dust.
Of the life he once had, of a love turned cruel,
and Emily listens, trembling under her wool.Two worlds that touch, yet never embrace,
a cursed love with no time or place.
In the woods, beneath the moon’s pale light,
they are bound by a dance where death holds tight. -

Summary
Victor van Dort, the son of some newly wealthy fishmongers, is entering into an Arranged Marriage with Victoria Everglot, a beautiful young woman from an Impoverished aristocratic family. The two find ou that, well, maybe some friendship, or maybe even love, will go into this cerimony as well, everything is going swimmingly...except for the tiny problem of Victor being too nervous to memorize his wedding vows. He goes into the forest to practice them but, unintentionally, gives the speech and engagement ring to the vivacious and fun-loving Jack, who thinks they are now married.
Oh, did I mention Jack is a walking, talking dead man?
Victor is dragged to the underworld, which ironically heavily contrasts with the drab surroundings of the living by being colourful and vibrant. At first he is desperate to get back home to Victoria, but is soon torn between the life he knew and his life in the underworld. Victor also finds himself drawn towards Jack, but Jack's tragic death may be more entwined with the lives of Victoria and himself than he first thought.

The Corpse Bride ~ A Sapphic Rewriting by The_Dyke_In_The_Rye

Summary
I am quite the fan of Tim Burton and The Corpse Bride but I couldn’t help but wonder how the story of Emily worked if, instead of Victor, Victoria Everglot played the role of the spouse.
So, I decided to write the sapphic version I would like to see on screen: it will never happen but a girl can dream, right?
I’ve divided the story into two parts that made sense in my head.
Hope you enjoy it!

Summary
It works like this -- the world is gray, to start with. But the moment you make eye contact with someone who'll be important in your life, you gain a color. Some people see everything in vivid hues by the time they're twenty-five; others only see what grass truly looks like at the end of the lives. Sometimes, you can meet someone important even after you've died.
Just remember: "Important" does not imply "good." And "love" does not always mean "couple."
