Verse notes: The Tangled Histories verse exists in a world where the existence of vampires is known and accepted, and a handful of vampire families make up somewhere between two and ten percent of the world population. In this verse, vampires are not affected by sunlight and there is no great universal conflict between mortals and immortal. Vampires generally only take human blood that is offered willingly, and there are plenty of humans willing to offer. They can only die from not feeding enough and perhaps a few other rare conditions. The most important things to these vampires are age, family, and respect. Various pairings will be explored in the verse, and stories may jump around the chronology, but I'm going to try to write so that they can be read as standalones. In other words, I'm trying to avoid a WIP series, and there's no telling how long it'll take me to tell these stories, but they'll appear sporadically and all be listed under the Tangled Histories heading in my fic index.
Summary: I referred in another part of this verse to Sean's "restless period" in the eighteenth century at the time Craig and Orlando became pets, so here it is. This can be read as a standalone.
A/N: I speak Russian, but I am terrible at guessing the standard transliteration, so pardon any missteps. I wasn't going to be mean enough to write the dialogue in Cyrillic. Also, I suppose the dates of the letters would technically be off from each other since Russia was on the Julian calendar and England on the Gregorian, but you know, let's not and say we did.

It was a bitter cold winter when Sean arrived in Russia…
