tiredThis one was...difficult to write. Those of you who know the family history may have noticed that the child born between "Married in Green" and "Sweet Poison Wine," Daniel Healy, was never mentioned by any of the modern members of the Price family. That's because he only lived three years. Losing him set the stage for a lot of what went wrong from there. That didn't make it a pleasant tale to tell. So consider this your trigger warning: the story opens with his funeral.

This post will also serve as the discussion post, if anyone wants to talk about the story once they're done. Thanks again to everyone for reading. This is the second story prioritized on my word count list by the recent tip jar, with two more to go!

Hah, yeah right y'all, I of course read it during nap time because I am addicted to the InCryptid universe and also am a big dummy.
Holy smokes, that hurt.
I was sure that it would be an accident or something normal that took him, and then you just went as bad as could be... Lesson is, of course, never think you know where Seanan is going with something. Oh, look, tearing up for Fran and Jonathan again. Ouch.
