Reading

Fandom: Ghost + The Mechanisms crossover
Characters/Pairings: Papa V/ Ghouls, hints of Copia/Ghouls, squint and you miss it Papa V/Jonny d'Ville (They insist on a sequel…)
Rating & Warnings: Overall E due to some ghoul orgies, gore and violence, temporary character death (including one immortal character shooting himself out of boredom)
Estimated Fic Length: 48-49k
Notes: This is for a big bang, the deadline is November 30th. I'd need this beta'd some time before this date.

If you'd like to beta this, I'm mostly looking for SPAG. But if you find kind words about what works and what reads off, I'd be happy, too.

The premise of this story: Ghost meet the Mechanisms but make it Cosmic Horror Sailor Moon

Papa V wants to connect with his grudge-holding twin, while Ivy Alexandrina searches for a tome in the Ministry's library. Shenanigans ensue, people get ripped apart and the Vatican gets spaghettified as we discover the secret behind the Emeritus bloodline.

I wanted to like this movie! I also wanted to like the recent Nosferatu (the atmosphere didn’t hit right for me), and Sinners (I liked the one dance sequence a lot, but I really felt like the horror element didn’t land for me). I am not sure why it is that critical and commercial darlings have been leaving me flat, as a phenomena, but it’s not that I don’t like movies! I do like movies! I liked Barbarian, Kate and I went to see The Thing on the big screen and that movie is great! Looking forward to seeing Weapons, also.

Behind the cut I am going to say some of what I didn’t love about the adaptation choices with GDT’s Frankenstein, so spoilers ahoy.
