to die as lovers may

Unable to bear giving up the love of her life, Carmilla tried to flee. But, as always, her mother was one step ahead of her. Always one for creative punishment, Lilita Morgan decided that if Carmilla wanted Ell so badly, she could have her--forever. Forced back together every twenty years for the ritual, Ell and Carmilla return yet again with one thing on their mind: get five girls and get away from each other, even when they can't truly let one another go. But when things take an unexpected turn, everything, even a hundred years of resentment and hatred, might change. (AU where Ell was turned into a vampire. Sort of an exploration in character relationships. Title from the original novella: "But to die as lovers may - to die together, so that they may live together.”)
