[community profile] kindreadspirits


This is a chat and fanworks community centred around making the most of the gay subtext abundant in a lot of vintage horror and classic ghost stories, namely of the Victorian through the Edwardian era and towards the middle of the 20th Century.

Another main purpose is to actually find the relevant stories within the plethora of horror fiction from the olden days, so a main focus of this community will be to let each other know what we simply must read/listen to at the first opportunity!

We write and gossip about gentlemen haunted by spooks and secret urges alike, so in the fashion of all the best gentlemen's clubs, [community profile] kindreadspirits is members-only. You must be 18 or older to become a member, as some content posted may well be explicit. (Please make sure your profile contains some kind of age statement.)

Chat is very much encouraged! Post about anything related to M/M slash potential in your favourite stories and novels - your chosen pairings and most beloved characters, quotes, and plot points. Post about authors you admire, ask for research or writing help, share interesting story finds and information, tell us about exchanges upon which we might want to descend, moan about your WIPs, ask for beta-readers, suggest challenges, post playlists or icons or mood boards you've made, etc.

[personal profile] earthspirits

Author: earthspirits
Fandom: The Red Shoes (1948 film)

Title: Choices

Chapter: 1 /1
Completed: Yes

Pairings: Victoria Page / Boris Lermontov - Victoria Page / Julian Craster.

Historical Era / Setting: 1940's Monte Carlo.
Summary: 
Young ballerina Victoria Page has a difficult decision to make, one that's tearing her apart. Two very different men - one offers love, the other her heart's desire. Love or art? Or is there a third choice?

Rating / Warnings: Mature subject matter due to character thoughts of suicide. Also conflicted emotions within an unusual romantic triangle.

Spoilers: Film spoilers to some extent.
Disclaimers: The Red Shoes and its characters belong to the respective writers, producers, and film studios. I'm just an admiring fan playing in their sandbox, and make no profit, etc.
