Does old Terry have any precautions in place to ensure Beloved doesn’t date anyone else after he dies? Or is it a they die at the same time type of thing?
---
Wouldn't put it past him to put together a very elaborately crafted will that states beloved can't marry or enter relationships, legally so, if such a thing can even be legally enforced, and if it can, I'm certain Terry Silver of all people will and would find a way to enforce it, giving beloved his assets posthumously and making them his sole heir, but nothing being for free, the price for it ultimately being that they remain devoted to him for the rest of their lives, decades after he's died. That is, if he doesn't organize a joint suicide where they depart this Earth together sooner, because they belong to him and he's taking them with him.
But then again, contrary to popular belief...
Terry Silver isn't a proponent of force if there's other alternatives lined up on the table.
He likes people coming to him more.
Of their own volition.
Of their own free will.
Why? Because it's a testament of his power display in someone else's actions.
He relishes the fact that people can have every other imaginable option available and they still choose to turn to him.
He never forced Daniel Larusso to come train under him either, for example. He just made the offer, made it tempting, made it feel safe and Daniel Larusso came to him all on his own, behind his teacher's back no less. He never forced any other student under him, be it Mike Barnes, Tory, Kenny or literally anyone else who ever trained in his dojo to be there by force either. They all came because they wanted to (or had something to gain from it), one way or another. I feel Terry would enjoy for it to be the same case with beloved; they promise him that they'll be true to him after his death not because they're necessarily contractually forced or cornered into it. Because they're effectively blackmailed. Trapped. No --- Terry Silver would want it to happen because beloved truly means it. Because their devotion and desire for him are both legitimate instead of coerced. Because they love him so much that even after he dies they cannot conceive of being with someone like that ever again. He'd want to be mourned, cared for and remembered honestly. Beloved puts that chain of loyalty on themselves because they want to. Not to say he's this saintly romantic. Oh, no, he isn't. If push came to shove he'd contractually obligate beloved into celibacy and fidelity if he could and if he legally couldn't, he'd still find ways to do it --- but what would give him profound happiness? Not glee. Not a perverted sense of triumph. Not sadistic obsession. No. Happiness. The knowledge beloved will love him and stay true to him to the end of their days because that's what they've chosen. Now that! That would make him happy.
That's what he'd really want.
The idea that out of every choice, they'd choose him.
That his capacity for devotion and passion is finally matched.

[ID: On a sea-foam green square black words read, “All layers of being, all these layers of letting go, they never seem to end. But thats the thing, there is no final go to let. Love lingers in our hearts and makes a home in the tears on our cheeks. You don’t stop loving someone because they’re dead. Loving a ghost is only natural. After all, what is the ghost of someone else but their love for you?”

Summary:
It began, like many ghost stories do, on a cold and stormy winters day.
But Perseus isn't one for ghost stories, and despite her apartment's phenomena, she refuses to believe that anything out of the ordinary is going on.
That is, until events in motion push her (and the stray cat she found) into a mystery of supernatural events revolving around her ghostly roommate-turned-partner-in-crime and the circumstances of her haunting.
After all, secrets rarely stay buried, and it looks like the dead don't either.

A song for my corpus
Wind running through fields of reeds
Sprouted from the dirt my bones fertilized
Rats gnawing away at my rotting flesh
My body returning to the earth
I can feel your sorrow
Lay in the field of reeds
Listen closely to the wind running through them
Listen to my song
Knowing my soul resides in the space where I love you exists
And when you come to join me
We can look at our small snapshot of life
And reside in our love for eternity

So happy to finally show off my final piece for the Tome of Pacts zine I feature in.
This is Hagne, the Herald of Rot, and faithful servant to her Patron, Cicardia. Her look was inspired by several things -- death masks, pomegranates, worn bronze, flies and centipedes. The butterflies she carries feed on death and decay. Hagne herself felt the cold embrace of the grave, but was blessed to find herself given another chance. She will not fail.
I am so honored to have been a part of this project, and this is one of my favorite pieces to date. I hope you guys enjoy it as well. :)
