Title: Gallows Literature
Author: shyaway
Rating: PG-13
Pairing: Sweeney/Lovett (in her head)
Disclaimer: Not mine. Used without permission or remuneration but with as much love and respect as Sweeney has for his friends.
Prompt: Penny Dreadful, for
6impearfics. Also called Gallows Literature. A dime novel rife with melodrama, horror, madness and cruelty; a ten cent analogy of vice and virtue in conflict. Soft perfume evocative of noir heroines over rich red grave loam. Table
here.
Summary: It’s her fantasy and she’ll cast herself as the tragic romantic heroine if she wants to. Not all Mrs Lovett’s flights of fancy are as wholesome as ‘By the Sea’.
A/N:
hereswith did her usual wonderful job betaing (thank you!); any remaining errors are mine.
