The last of the "What is Lily writing?" entries.
Title: The Gates of Horn and Ivory
The day Claudia MacLean died was far from the worst in her life. Or her afterlife, for that matter.
(Yes, I know that's a short-ass blurb. You try to summarize stories that are unfinished, without spoilers or making it sound godawful boring. I think I've erred on the boring side so far, which is likely a mistake. I don't think I'll ever make a lucrative living in the blurb-writing industry.)
Intended Readership: Adult. Very adult. Consider that there's unlikely to be sex and do the math.
Thought process: This one started as a Yami no Matsuei-based roleplay with OCs, when I was, what, 18? At the time, Claudia was called Andrea - which is a lovely name, but not her. More pressingly, she was a self-absorbed bitch, as I discovered on re-read. My co-writer's input wasn't much better. But something about the story we were telling around tugged at me even years down the line, making me dig up the awful old logs and start rewriting the thing from near-scratch.
