(no subject)

So one of the things I did, in the near-perfect radio silence of the last two weeks, is read Dracula for a class. And I'd read it before, technically, when I was sixteen and didn't have nearly the patience with nineteenth century writing that I wanted to have, and so didn't get much out of it. (Which is funny, since I grew up reading things like Frances Hodgson Burnett's books and Black Beauty and Heidi, so I don't know what happened in my adolescence to make me temporarily lose the ability to parse anything published before 1950. But I digress.) But this time around I saw how AWESOME it was, and as we've discussed it in class it has just gotten awesomer, and I appear to have a new fandom now. So. Have some fic. It's a coda to the novel set just after Dracula's death, in which Jonathan sees the only face in all of Romania that he is very glad to see again.
