    Summary

    Strahd is forced to consider all the blood pooling in his hands and staining his soul when an adventurer manages to change his curse, forcing a newfound morality upon his consciousness. Meeting Tatyana again is… complicated. Though distance would be safer, her presence pulls at his soul.

    Ayla, the next reincarnation of Tatyana after Ireena, has never had the chance to consider what her heart desires beyond immediate safety. But with forces in Barovia working against her, she must learn to reach out, struggle, and fight for what it is she wants, because her life just might depend on it.

    *** This fic is being written. You can find the new fic under the title "On the Nature of Daylight". The two are different enough I thought it best to leave this one up. If you are interested in the premise, I recommend checking out the new version first. After that if you want some more content, this will still be here :)***
