(This is for the whole story) - Disclaimer: I don't not own Pandora Hearts or any of its characters.

Summary: In a small town where young people are constantly going missing, Gilbert Nightray, the son of the towns wealthy Baron, meets the elusive Oz Vessalius and an unlikely friendship begins to grow between the two. But both are keeping dark secrets from one another. Meanwhile; their own families are keeping dark secrets from them.

Rating: M

Story: A/U

Time Period: Late 1800's in a place I made up (Probably not going to be 100% historically accurate)

In regards to character's ages: Everyone in this will be their "physical" ages. Meaning that Gilbert is in his early 20's and Oz is still in his mid/late teens.

Warning: Mature Themes/ Eventual Boy/Boy Lemons etc. The warnings will be more elaborate as we approach the chapters. I don't want to give too much away now.

Themes: This story deals with some heavy stuff. It also hints at a past "relationship" between Vincent and Gilbert (as brothers). But nothing too explicit between them. Also, there is mention of church and Bible stories and stuff. Please don't take offense to that, its just a tiny plot driver.

Other Tidbits: Slight very slight Black Butler Crossover, but those characters don't really become relevant till later in the story.

Overall, this story is a bit darker than my last one, so I can't say it's for everyone. Then again, for those who read/are reading the last one know that I tend to dip into darker themes eventually. I really hope you guys like this one.

Enjoy
