They Were Torn Wide Open

by zombiejosette

(Burtonverse. Spoilers. Plothole filling, etc.) She feels the grass under her feet and her hair whipping at her face and knows for certain that she is back. She can see the cliff, she can hear the waves – not much more now, and then she can see the rocks and the waves crashing against them, welcoming her. Victoria closes her eyes and takes the sight in and the wind seems to lift her - until two arms drag her back down and hold her tightly.

Dark Shadows

As It Was Meant to Be

by lucidscreamer

Poet's Note: This is Angelique contemplating her relationship with Barnabas. The title was inspired by a line of dialogue from the '91 revival series (though it was actually Barnabas referring to his relationship with Josette -- the irony of that kind of appealed to me). Disclaimer: Dark Shadows is the creation of Dan Curtis. This poem is copyright by the author and may not be reproduced without permission.
