Disclaimer: Ashmael, Vaysh, and the harish world all belong to Storm Constantine; I'm merely playing with great abandon in her sandbox.
Pairings: Vaysh/Ashmael (historic); Vaysh/OC – this post, Vaysh/Velaxis

Summary: Being brought back from the dead doesn't mean happily ever after, especially if you're Vaysh. Life has its costs, and he pays dearly. An exploration of Vaysh's character in the years before and through Pellaz's transformation, and the burdens he endures, because he must.

It's Natalia, no longer Vaysh's favourite holday. Not a har to miss a party, he goes, but the night plays out far differently than he imagined. This post a bit shorter than some, but soon the plot will pick up. Continued from the prior post, here. As always, comments welcome and ruminated upon! I'll admit that my take on Velaxis has been gratefully influenced by the stunning writings of camile_sinensis.
