A Song of the Green Fairy [Yellow} Fandom: From Hell

Title: A Song of the Green Fairy
Authored by: vanillafluffy
Pairing/spoilers: Identity of Jack the Ripper (per the movie "From Hell")
Rating/Work-safeness: Yellow for drug use
Approximate word count: 5000
Disclaimer: Johnny Depp does not belong to me. Neither do any rights to the source material.
Summary: An homage to "A Christmas Carol": Victorian, but not exactly Dickens.... Inspector Abberline is visited by three spirits, from his angst-ridden past to his debauched present and a future far different from what he's predicted.
A/N: This was originally written and posted at FF.net on Christmas Eve, 2004. It predates my involvement with LJ, and I'd like to see it gain a wider audience.

( Looking around the room, Abberline felt a frisson in spite of himself at the sight of the looming, shrouded figure. It beckoned to him, and he rose stiffly from the bed and walked toward the faceless apparition. )

Reviews are shiny.

Hey, why not?

Everybody else seems to be jumping off this particular memeish cliff

At first I was afraid, I was petrified
Kept thinking I could never live without vanillafluffy by my side.

Which song was this lyric from?

Pray, please. Or, if that's not your thing, hum along....

I got an email from GK a little while ago. It seems Kat, who is still in Oklahoma, is in a decline. Her blood pressure is very low, and consultation with her doctor here has her going to the the ER to get things like her potassium checked. She's been having mild dizzy spells over the last few weeks, and apparently they've gotten more severe. (Either that or they've been worse than she's let on---she tends to downplay things like that.)

GK is also somewhat freaked out because Kat withdrew $900 from the bank before her trip---and her account has been set up to pay things automatically, so it needs to go back in PDQ. Says Kat told her it was because she didn't know how much she'd need for the trip. Her plane ticket was prepaid, GK also paid for the hotel and rental car, and she's staying with family. So she really didn't need a lot of walking around money.

She's going to email me when she knows something. I find myself wondering if we're going to have Kat back for Christmas, or indeed, if we're going to get her back at all. This sounds pretty serious. Is it the final crisis? Would it be kinder for her if it was? She's been so disconnected---and getting more so---and getting weaker and so tired all the time....

I'm going to the Xmas party with J in a little while. Not because I feel like partying, but because I really want to be around people right now.

Think good thoughts, y'all. Please.
