33	* Status: Complete
34	* Synopsis: Long after the time of her first account, a much older Laura contemplates the past.
35	* Comments: It's a well-written, with a melancholy air everywhere. The old Laura is lonely as the original novella, now only perturbed with his memories about ''her'', clearly Carmilla, than never seems but is ubiquitous throughout history. Very good.

40	* Recommended by: Bia
41	* Status: Complete
42	* Synopsis: ''...to this hour the image of Carmilla returns to memory with ambiguous alternations--sometimes the playful, languid, beautiful girl; sometimes the writhing fiend I saw in the ruined church; and often from a reverie I have started, fancying I heard the light step of Carmilla at the drawing room door.''
43	* Comments: Even if it do not bring explanations for the return of Carmilla, this fic captures the melancholic and languid spirit of the Le Fanu's narrative.

64	* Recommended by: Bia
65	* Status: Complete
66	* Synopsis: Carmilla as a lepidopterist.
67	* Comments: Carmilla says in the book: "Girls are caterpillars while they live in the world, to be finally butterflies when the summer comes; (...) each with their peculiar propensities, necessities, and structure." This story explores this affirmation in great detail. Narrated by Carmilla, she compare the girls to butterfly of deterministic and poetic way. A good read.
