Crimson Bound: a different ending

In January 2020, I took part in an auction to benefit relief efforts for the Australian wildfires. The prize I offered was to write some kind of epilogue or missing scene for one of my novels, and the prompt I got was to write about the alternate universe where Erec survived the end of Crimson Bound. You can read it here.

W.R. Gingell is 35% done with All Systems Red: oh i love this book so far!

most people don't know this, but i started my reading life as a scifi reader; took me ages to get into fantasy. cut my teeth on Nicholas Fisk and John Christopher and Robin Klein.

this gives me all the glorious childhood wonder of scifi with the satisfying adult brain for all the depth with the wonder

Dark Clouds by Suzannah  Rowntree
Then the diamond descended like a weight on the lace at my bosom, and the collar cinched close around my neck. So far, so good. I turned. “How do I look?” “Like a grand duchess,” Vasily murmured into my ear before stepping away.
Congratulations to Molly Dark for being a much stronger woman than I will ever be because I would have asked for an elopement to Gretna Green right then and there

“Where you go, I shall go; where you die, I shall die, and there will I be buried.”
Rosamund Hodge, Cruel Beauty

“They said that love was terrifying and tender, wild and sweet, and none of it made any sense.
But now I knew that every mad word was true.”
Rosamund Hodge, Cruel Beauty

“You deserve all that and more. It made me happy to see you suffer. I would do it all over again if I could." I realized I was shaking as the words tumbled out of me. "I would do it again and again. Every night I would torment you and laugh. Do you understand? You are never safe with me." I drew a shuddering breath, trying to will away the sting of tears.

He opened his eyes and stared up at me as if I were the door out of Arcadia and back to the true sky. "That's what makes you my favorite." He reached up and wiped a tear off my cheek with his thumb. "Every wicked bit of you.”
Rosamund Hodge, Cruel Beauty
