Mrs. Lovett just can't keep away. Lovett/Razors. Oneshot.

It didn't matter what kind of sin he committed now, whether he lowered himself to the level of the man he most despised. He could not pretend to be above just a crime anymore. Sweeney's side of MST3KguruK10's "Propriety."

He realized then, in the sight of her tangled hair and darkly smeared eyes, between the shadows, that all the real beauty of the world had died and that this weak imitation was all that remained. The beauty of a whore.

No maddening creaking tonight, on the floor above her head. That was new. Nellie Lovett had grown so accustomed to the sound lulling her to sleep at night that its absence was almost disconcerting. Oneshot. Not pretty.

We all know of Kaye's ingenious plan to poison Nephamael with iron. We also know that it was successful. But...what if she hadn't been so lucky? What if Nephamael had been left on the throne long enough to do some REAL damage? [NEPH]

Nephamael revels in the liberating confines of the iron city and narrowly escapes one of those vicious, wheeled contraptions before making his botched attempt on Ellen's life.

He sought to make allies of iron, of fear, of pain, of pleasure. To rule a realm of thorns and blood and flesh and poison. Careful who you enslave. Bend a life too far, and it might break. Sometimes, it just might snap back. [Nephamael]

The night refuses to take her into its embrace, but perhaps he will not, as sharp an embrace as his may be. [NephamaelEthine]

A technician with something of a conscience ponders his actions and whether they may be justified. Explores the theme expressed in Cube Zero of how others blame their actions on orders of higher authority, such as God, and the regression of human society

She wondered if it was just a harshly flirtatious game, or if he was truly sincere about it. [NephNic lovehate]

In her mind, the only thing worth heeding was the heart. Everything else…just extra baggage. [Lolli]

Forgiveness, or rejection? Or something else entirely? [KayeRoiben alternate Ironside ending]

I wrote this for my English final, but I started it on my own before I even knew we had to do a project. If the title seems strange at first, trust me, it'll all make sense in the end. I never did find out what I got on it...

My entry for Holly Black's contest about what Kaye said to make Roiben smile in Valiant. It was intended to show how Kaye's fey nature is beginning to come through: how she's beginning to think like one of them.

What exactly was Kaye thinking while Roiben led her to be sacrificed? More importantly, what was she thinking when he kissed her out of nowhere?
