I've created a fan fiction series for Penny Dreadful, which is hosted on Archive of Our Own as "Demimonde of Shadows". Like the sophisticated television horror series that inspired it, they are set in the late Victorian era.  I was very disappointed when Penny Dreadful ended - thus I decided to write my own stories, and continue the tales of these wonderful characters I'd come to love.

Please note that my series does contain Penny Dreadful Season 3 spoilers.

There are 5 stories thus far, and the fifth is still in progress (with recent updates). They should be read in order. Please note that my stories are definitely rated "Mature" (they are for 18+ readers only), as they feature various adult themes, including some sexual situations + horror / gore, references to suicide and venegance, violence (some graphic), and other topics that may possibly be triggering for some. Each story is rated "Mature", with its own specific "warnings" and chapter summaries, so please read those for each, before proceeding.

All stories are posted at Archive of Our Own (AO3) under my username, earthspirits. I also post updates on my DreamWidth journal.

Stories (in order):
1. "The Touch of Your Hand" (this one is a Penny Dreadful / Doctor Who cross-over).
2. "Flower of his Heart"
3. "The Falling of Stars"
4. "Sudden Visitations"
5. "Of Wings Shining in Darkness" (multi-chapter story, which is still in progress).
