THE LANDLORD'S OTHER DAUGHTER (remix of THE CHIMES AT MIDNIGHT by stereolightning)
Summary: There were two kinds of goodbyes, Narcissa thought. This was not the one she had wanted to say tonight. (Part 1 of La Ronde Noire)
Characters: Narcissa, Andromeda
Warnings: None
Words: ~2,300
Notes: This is a remix of stereolightning's story "The Chimes at Midnight," so all credit to her! I'm just playing in a sandcastle someone else built in a sandbox someone else owns :-)
Also – thanks go to Alfred Noyes for "The Highwayman"!
Updated note: This began as a single story, but has since – thanks to an inspired suggestion from stereolightning – become part 1 of a small series of stories I'm calling "La Ronde Noire." A "la ronde" is a format in which each subsequent scene follows one character from the previous scene and introduces one new one, until it eventually circles around to the first pair of characters again. These stories follow characters and themes among the Black family siblings and cousins over the years.
