Comment to this post with a fic title (a word, phrase or quotation), a fandom and, if desired, a character or pairing. I'll reply with a summary of the fic I won't write for that title, in this way generating plot-bunnies, gaiety of nations and perhaps even actual fic by other people.

"Your Ink is My Blood: Tales from a haunted fountain pen"

Dark Shadows Resurrected

Elizabeth Collins Stoddard

[calliopes_pen]

A haunted fountain pen makes the rounds of Collinwood. It's laced with Angelique's blood, and will destroy the will of anyone who comes into contact with it, or allow Angelique to control them easier. Elizabeth learns Barnabas' secret, and the spirit of Angelique wants her to be ruined so nobody will believe her.

It causes Elizabeth to be worn down by haunting visions, until she connects the dots on her own...but Elizabeth is stubborn enough to keep her will and sanity and fight back with class, actively teaming up with Barnabas to end the madness.

(I think in the 60's version of Dark Shadows, in one of the earlier episodes from the time before Barnabas was let out of the coffin, a pen kept getting passed around, but it wasn't cursed--it had something to do with a murder.)

I love it! Thank you. There's so little storylines in either series that lets Elizabeth shine.

The fountain pen in the original series belonged to Burke Devlin who gave it to Carolyn. They were special in that he had only 8 of them made so he could give them to his friends. (His lawyer has one) When Roger found out about it and who it belonged to he told her she couldn't except such an expensive gift and that he would return it to he confiscated it from her. That night Bill Malloy came to Collinwood to inform Roger he had called a meeting in Roger's office at the cannery at 11 (pm) to tell them he finally found out who was really responsible for the death of the man Burke was falsely accused of hitting with the car 10 years ago. Later on his way to the meeting at the cannery he lost the pen while he was walking along the beach trying to figure out how much Malloy really knew. It was about the same time Bill was murdered. At that time Roger hadn't realized he'd lost the pen. The next morning Victoria was walking along the beach and found the pen. When Roger sees the pen in Vicki's possession while she is tutoring David he waits until no one is in the room and takes the pen back, finally burring it behind a headstone at Eagle Hill Cemetery.

Not a nice thing to do to a beautiful silver filigree fountain pen.
