Disclaimer: The play Caritatis Acerbus Venenum is not mine, I just revised it; I do not know who
wrote it. Weiß Kreuz does not belong to me either.
Warning: Implied Yaoi, angst, mature themes.
Rating: PG-13
Notes: This story is based on the play Caritatis Acerbus Venenum except using Weiß Kreuz in
place of the original characters. I have not changed the storyline in any way. I just put it in a story format
complete with feelings and interior monologues. The characters will resemble the Weiß boys and Aya, but they
are not starring in this play. The characters will look like them only.
A tale of love, and of love's secret pain...between two lovers that couldn't be together, between two people of which love could never blossom.
A tale of sorrow, and of bitter regret...for so wrong of teachings could lead one astray, and where the burden of a lost love will tear all apart.
A tale of passion, and the poison of hate...for a life lost for the belief of her heart, and for the blindness and folly of one who should have understood.
This is the tale of Caritatis Acerbus Venenum...Love's Bitter Poison, where the mistakes of one lead to the deaths of others; where love faces too many trials to succeed; where family is valued high; and where love is so sacred, so untouchable, that those who strive for it are poisoned.
So commences our tale...set in times of unjustness when unequality reigns over Rome. An Ancient Rome that is the past, where our tragic tale will take place. In the household of Argento, in a tumultuous day that caused the ceased breaths of the young who would be the future.

A/N: Got the prologue done. Just remember, and I cannot stress this enough, the Weiß characters are not playing this play. This is now the reality that they are set in, hence the different names. Now it seems that this isn't Weiß Kreuz anymore, but it is, just my take on how they could have been had they lived in Ancient Rome. I'm sorry to all Yohji fans, his character is not the most sympathetic.
Well, that's all, there are five scenes, so five chapters to come. I'll try to really get in depth of the story so it's not too short and abrupt like the actual play. If you have any questions or comments, e-mail me at hellsdarktenshi@hotmail.com and I'll send it to you.
