Title: Phantasmagoria

Author: paceyourself

Summary: Set in Season Two. Violet/Kit fan fiction. In short, this fic takes place in Winter 1964 and will follow on from there I guess. Violet has been institutionalized at Briarcliff cause she's fucked up in the head, meets Kit and other people, has a series of adventures etc. Can't say too much at the moment. It will have elements of fantasy, love and horror - the stuff I do like in fiction. The prologue isn't, but this fic will be first person diary style cause I'm kind of into that at the moment.

Authors Notes: I'm pretty sure every writer in the fandom has got some kind of Kit/Violet fic/drabble in the works in their Doc manager even if they're not gonna publish cause well it's a bit of an obvious one isn't it? Lol. Just though I'd give it a go too.

If you wanna head over to my main profile I've written a little message explaining my absence and what the story is with About a Girl. I also kind of ranted a bit about why I'm not really liking Season Two so far (yes I'm aware this is a season two fic and no it's not because there's no Violate) it's just something I personally can't stand about AHS S2, but felt was important to mention because it inspired me to write this here fic so I did on my main profile rather than here so I don't dampen le mood.

And finally to Gray Glube for a wealth of inspiration and all the nice things she's ever said about me, I don't know why she says them seriously but I'm grateful, really really chuffed because she's not only the best writer in this fandom but one of the most dedicated and all thirty four of her fics (or the AHS ones) which I have read multiple times over (even if I haven't had the chance to review the newer ones) have been completely out of this world and I wish her good rest and every success with her book writing.


Preface

"In his work De Anima, Aristotle defines the imagination as a place situated at an intersection halfway between perception and thought, thus making possible a fluid connection between these two processes while still remaining different from both. In Aristotle the imaginative faculty, or fantasy, is capable of generating phantasmagoria - defined as images that are derived from the memory of the perceived; in other words, created from the experience of sensory perception of singular objects and events."
