Is this rewrite going to follow the initial "Varney is a Bannerworth ancestor" or the confessional final backstory of divine justice making him a vampire? Also end the way the penny dreadful ended?

It's, ah, not precisely a rewrite of the original--I mean, I am rewriting a bunch of stuff, but that wasn't the point of the exercise. My magnum opus [citation needed] is a queerplatonic Varney/Charles Holland shipfic. There's like six different biting scenes. It ends with time travel. Clarimonde is mentioned.

Varney's precise origins are left purposefully mysterious but I've made him a lot older than either backstory you mentioned, using his "was alive during the time of Edward III" story from the vampire council chapter as an excuse to make him older than the Black Death.

#not art #ask #varney posting #im leaning hard into the tragedy and also the sopping wetness of varney #dates back to the 1300s? awesome time to make him a plague survivor with massive survivor's guilt #wildly inconsistent backstory? it's because he has memory issues #death by volcano? actually what if he survived that and then had to live another 50 years with the guilt of what he'd done #how touch starved can i make him? Yes.#how regular starved can i make him? Also Yes.
