🕯️ Polished AO3 Summary – Angelique Speaks
Welcome to Angelique: Beyond the Shadows — a Dark Shadows fanfiction.
This is the untold story of Angelique.
Inspired by the original series, I seek to explore her past, to uncover the innocent girl who became the shape-shifter, the sorceress, the woman you loved to hate.My goal is to humanize Angelique — to move beyond the betrayal and jealousy, and reveal a soul forged by love, loss, and the brutal cost of survival.
Through this narrative, I invite you to see her as I see her.
I am Angelique.
I am a witch.
And this… is my truth. -

Summary
A Carlisle Cullen / Bella Swan slow-burn romance set in a small college town in upstate New York where several recent murders threaten to expose supernatural secrets.
I'm not a huge Twilight person, but recently read the books for the first time and felt drawn to combine aspects of a few different series and shows into a new story as I try to get back into creative writing. The canon is NOT sacred, I will destroy it as I so please. You have been forewarned. Also, much yearning—all of the yearning.
I will put out chapters when I can, but there will likely be some significant breaks between posts. I will also be making edits as I go along, so changes may be made to older chapters as new ones are added. Tags are updated periodically to reflect the story, its direction at any given point in time, and any changes made along the way. I do be doing my best.

Summary
The premise is simple.
What happened was real, but the show has garbled the story and they want to get it straight. For one thing, the people had their names changed to protect both the innocent and the guilty.
Due to a revenge-prank of one of their adversaries, the show aired BEFORE the events happened, and the inhabitants of the town where this happened never saw it due to the policies of the local broadcaster.
They FINALLY have gotten to watch the show and they comment on it, noting the inaccuracies and misrepresentations - while telling us what really happened.

Summary
“Two ingredients most valuable in the concocting of a ghost story are the atmosphere and the nicely managed crescendo …Let us, then, be introduced to the actors in a placid way; let us see them going about their ordinary business, undisturbed by forebodings, pleased with their surroundings; and into this calm environment let the ominous thing put out its head, unobtrusively at first, and then more insistently, until it holds the stage.”

Summary
Uncle Roger was all about pretending that the two of them hadn’t been turned into vampires by a local gang that had caught them at the Blue Whale, but Carolyn didn’t mind so much once she got used to it. Eternal youth and beauty wasn’t a bad deal when she thought about it, really.

Summary
A series of chapters analyzing the possibility of Barnabas Collins achieving his one true desire, in triple-form, though still one woman. How would he handle the situation? It is delicately phrased and uses more metaphoric language than most stories of this type. There are also chapters of Willie Loomis having a companion and his own experience. Please give feedback.
Notes and chapters are being revised and expanded. All notes are very important to understand the unfolding of this story and how carefully it follow's canon.
The first chapter begins with "The Wedding Day", how it happened and how it was planned the previous day.
There are now three podcasts about this novel.

Summary
“Roger’s marriage, baffling as that was, had firmly receded into the background of his concerns. The questions of why he had gotten married or why he kept doing horribly unusual things seemed far less important than making sure Carolyn was all right.”

“Vicky had moved into Collinwood, a spooky mansion on the hill above town, with what seemed like endless secrets. Often, she heard yowling at night, and couldn’t be sure whether it was the sound of the wind or of some ghostly spirit.”
