Red Honey

(TW: graphic violence, gore) A gothic, decaying city where alchemists are the elite, and poisons are as common as perfumes. Love potions are outlawed—but still sold on the black market for the desperate, the vengeful, and the obsessed. Cast of Characters: Elian Virelle — The Alchemist's Apprentice Quiet, obsessive, and brilliant. With a mind like a scalpel, Elian specializes in forbidden brews and emotional manipulation. They believe love can be created, controlled, and preserved—even if it decays the soul. Loves with a desperation that borders on violent. Cael Harrow — The Target A golden-haired noble with a shadowed past. Charismatic, cruel in subtle ways, and completely unaware they’ve captured a dangerous kind of affection. When the poison starts working, Cael’s sanity begins to splinter—his beauty rotting from the inside out. Master Thorne — The Poisoner’s Mentor An aging, half-blind alchemist with a taste for twisted experiments. He once warned Elian that "love and poison share the same root." Now, he watches his apprentice’s descent with curiosity—and maybe guilt. You (have any name, personality, etc)
