Description Master Edward Gracey and Sarah (Elizabeth) Evers, in a scene from my current fanfiction, Dance with the Dead
_____________________________________________________________________________________________
She was expecting him to agree, disagree; anything would have occurred to her except for what he did in that moment. Edward Gracey took her face in his hands and raised her gently to look at him. Then with the purest sincerity he looked deep into her eyes and said to her,

“Don’t think. Remember.” Then leaning down, he kissed her forehead. The touch of his lips upon her skin made Sarah go numb and in that moment time seemed to stop, both in her hazy past and confusing present. All matter of thought escaped her so that all that remained was the beating of her heart within her chest, the soft brush of his lips, his face so close to where it should be, and the feeling of completeness and security that she felt standing there in his arms.

I'm not crazy about the words in the image, but hey, I finished this in one sitting. hazah for that!

<-- Here's some more art of Sarah and Master Gracey
A Dance With the DeadSarah stared at the watch on her wrist. Framed in diamonds, it sparkled beautifully in the soft light of their living room. She sighed. How could he do this? Jim had missed so much lately; Michael's games, barbeques with their closest friends, always enveloped in work and separate from the family that needed him. She could tell from his voice on the phone today that his promise to arrive on time was a hollow one, but still she had believed him, trusted that he would remember. And now here she stood, alone, and with only a cold apology resting on her wrist.
Sara sat down on the couch and rubbed the bridge of her nose. She knew her husband meant well, but it was getting harder and harder to forgive his absence. When they started their business they had been a team, partners in their ambition, young, determined, and dearly in love. But they had made a promise to one another: that they wouldn't lose sight of their family. At the time balancing the kids and their real-estate seemed manageab <-- You can read the story here

Hey, I recently reviewed chapter 19 of your 'A Dance With the Dead' on fanfiction. I want to express my appreciation for your efforts in writing all those chapters, it got me so hooked that I read them all in one go! Upon going back down memory lane and rewatching the movie I wondered if anybody enhanced on the backstory, yours fit the bill perfectly. I can't wait to read your new chapters, the way you deal with their forbidden romance is perfect. I have just come across your art here, which complements the story perfectly. Please update soon, or Ramsley will come back to haunt you! hehe

Hahaha, Thank you so much! (I love your last line there.) 

This means a lot to me, I'm so glad you've been enjoying my story! I'm almost done with the next chapter and will be uploading it very soon (in the next couple weeks, most likely). I've been so swamped at work that I've been unable to dedicate any time to personal projects but that cloud of business has finally passed. 

Thank you sticking with my story despite its slow posting schedule. Knowing that people have enjoyed it is the greatest fuel to my creative inspiration. I'll post the next chapter as soon as I can! 

Sending you all of my love!

Hey (I am also SerineExistence, but had trouble accessing that account so made a new one). I recently did a drawing of Gracey and Elizabeth from the film (posted on my page) in which I included a note that it was inspired by your fan fiction 'A Dance with the dead', I hope you appreciate it! Looking forward to your next chapters!

You aren't alone I adore how they interacted in the movie. Their side plot was far more compelling than the rest of the story in my opinion ^^

no, not yet. I'm about a third of the way through, I think. With how my outline of it seems to be going, it's got quite a way to go 
I'm so glad you like it! I was a little hesitant with how the composition of this came out.

"So you're tellin me that the only reason why we're here is because this guy's tryin to get jiggy with my wife?"

"Pretty much. Are ya upset?"

"The guy's dead and he's trying to get with my wife! AND the house isn't really for sale, YES I'm upset!"


This piece is so morbidly sweet. (And I mean that in the best way I can.) I love Master Gracey's care for Elizabeth and the look on Sarah's face really gets one in the chest.

Yeah, me too. I'm pretty sure I may have flubbed a few words, but it's the first quote that comes to mind when I think of the movie.

I hated that movie but I loved Gracey. I wish they played on more with their relationship it felt kind of last minute though it's the whole basis of the story. Beautiful art by the way. I love the expression on Sarah's face and the gentleness of Gracey's. I'll definitely be checking out your story

*gasp* really? oh that's awesome, thank you! please feel free to offer any critiques you may have on it, i'd love to hear 'em
I loved their relationship too, and I agree, it felt way too brief in the film. but at least it was enough to inspire us, right
