Does the Pengele Family Have Way Too Many Men?

Reader advisory: This continues the original series’ setup with a story about the tenth generation. Also known as “Love You Even After Death.” In the blurb, “devoted to the extreme” means an overwhelming love and possessiveness. Content warning: Written in the second person (you); everyone is obsessed with the protagonist; all characters turn dark; angst early on; takes place in the world ten years after it was saved; pairing undecided. In-paragraph comments: Add the story to your favorites to comment on individual paragraphs. A hundred years can change many things. It can take the head of the Vongola family from the First to the Tenth, and it can carry love down through ten generations. The only thing that never changes is Goliath, the one who was left behind. Like a curse, her existence was unsealed by the arrival of the Tenth Vongola. So she’s a senior who has lived for over a hundred years, but is only twenty-two? Goliath doesn’t think that’s going to work. She’s still young. But the Tenth Generation treats her very well, and so does a man who might be the Second. They seem to know everything about her. There’s the Tenth Generation’s Storm Guardian, whose personality is completely different but whose looks resemble the lover she broke up with a hundred years ago; and the Tenth Generation’s Cloud Guardian, who also looks like that lover but has a different personality. To borrow a popular phrase, she doesn’t want to settle for a substitute a hundred years later. But these juniors don’t seem to mind her settling for a substitute. No, judging by how they act, they mind a lot more than a little. Theme: Treasure the present
