    Summary

    It’s a long tradition passed down through generations of her family: the odd power of taking peoples’ pain. Every woman, from her mother, to her mother before her, they all knew how to take another’s pain and set it loose to some other task in this world, but Rey never could. All she did was absorb it - small pains, like pin pricks or brush burns, or big ones, like the loss of a leg or a spouse. Heartbreaks, rage, grief, agony - it all coursed into her body with the smallest touch, and there it would live.

     

    And so here is where she lives - this tiny island, twenty miles from the shore and the nearest soul. She is safe here.

     

    Until Ben washes up on her shore.

    Summary

    “I heard that you served…”

    Again, he barely breathed the last word - and Rey was fairly certain she knew what he was asking for (all signs pointed to one thing), but, in her line of work, fairly certain was never certain enough.

    “Sir, I’m sorry, I can’t hear you.”

    “Blood,” he hissed, turning to face her fully and neglecting to adjust his collar as he did so. “I heard that you served blood.”
    ----
    Rey works the night-shift at a diner that serves supernatural creatures. When a "newborn" vampire comes in one evening, he turns her life (which had already been a little topsy-turvy) upside down.
