Oh, that is an interesting twist, anon! Hadn't expected for tattoos and body modifications to be taken to a supernatural level. Well done!

Also kudos to you for inserting more of Justine, I know I would be hesitant to take on someone's OC :D

(Pardon my potential ignorance, but may I ask whether this is an original AU or a fusion with another canon?)

I found Justine so intriguing! I wish there had been a way to include your description of her, but she doesn't have any mirrors in her office, y'know? I figured constant pain might give her that 'dead' expression.

And yes, this is my own, multi-fandom AU. I call it Unity, and so far fandoms include Lewis, Sherlock, the X Files (in the future, probably) and, er, the other one that's escaping me at the moment. Stories include: Cairo, Delphi, A Fine Summer's Day, Dust.

Anyway, I'm so glad you liked it! I adore Victor and hope he finds the person of his dreams some day. Perhaps he and Sherlock and John could meet...? (Wait, don't Sarah and John visit NZ in S1??)

[neurotoxia]

Ha, I like that bit about constant pain! I might steal that for future appearances of her ;)

Dear Victor stole my heart when he was supposed to be little more than a reference in Sherlock's backstory. We can all see what became of that. About him meeting Sherlock and John, that might just happen. I have a few plans in that direction. (They do! Though they won't meet Victor there, but John might have gotten the idea of visiting NZ from him...at least that's my headcanon :D )

I love this - you expand and add to an already fascinating original character and the world building is intriguing. I love the glimpses of Victor, and Justine's resigned practical attitude to the no doubt impending heartbreak. And of course, Sherlock being Sherlock and deducing it all... Nicely done!

Thank you! In all honesty, though go read the original stories - you'll love Victor too. :D

I can't resist a good worldbuilding fic and this one had some very interesting teases that I would love to see more of. I particularly liked the supernatural aspect to the tattoos and the very Roman hint to everything. A very intriguing and well done remix!

Thank you so much!

I set this fic in my multi-fandom AU I call Unity. It is very Roman, but Rome has fallen...
