“I wanted to be sure to thank you before we left—and not just for the wedding. You fixed something in Matthew that was broken.”
Philippe pushed his stool back and studied me. “It is I who should be thanking you, Diana. The family has been trying to mend Matthew’s spirit for more than a thousand years. If I’m remembering correctly, it took you less than forty days.”
“Matthew wasn’t like this,” I said with a shake of the head, “not until he was here, with you. There was a darkness in him that I couldn’t reach.”
“A man like Matthew never frees himself of the shadows completely. But perhaps it is necessary to embrace the darkness in order to love him,” Philippe continued.
“‘Do not refuse me because I am dark and shadowed,’” I murmured.
“I do not recognize the verse,” Philippe said with a frown.
“It’s from that alchemical book I showed you earlier—the Aurora Consurgens.”

Domenico, the nosey little fucker… and Venice.
Headcanon:
- Domenico is a slut, and he and Matthew shared more than irreverent sense of humour on board of that Venetian ship when they first met.
- Domenico kept pining for that D, and seduced Louisa for this reason.
Part of the charm of having Louisa, Domenico knew, was taking something that belonged in some small way to Matthew.
- He constantly kept an eyes on Matthew and when his spies told him Matthew married in Sept Tour, he travelled first to France, then London, missing the couple. He then tracked down Louisa and set the whole Greenwich thing in motion. He didn’t know about the blood rage. He quickly abandoned London before Matthew or the de Clermont would know he was behind all. [Please please please show give us Domenico in Elizabethan London]
- He never met Matthew or Diana in London, but he gathered informations about Matthew’s spouse and knows she is a witch. When Matthew re-appeared in Holland in the following months, with a new identity and no wife, he just thought Matthew had killed her. That’s why, when he hears about a new witch in Matthew’s life, his interested is piqued.
- He would totally be ok with a 3some with Matthew and Diana. (would someone write this fic? no?)
