[Angst + Historical fantasy + Bad ending]
A fictional dynasty, inspired by ancient history but with invented elements.
Each story follows one couple, and all the characters live in the same dynasty, so the stories are interconnected.
Important things need to be said three times: Bad ending! Bad ending! Bad ending!
Everyone gets a bad ending! Everyone is impossible to get over!
No happy endings! No happy endings! No happy endings!
Only angsty stories, including plots that are tragic for tragedy's sake. Only angst!
