I Brought You My Bullets, You Brought Me Your Love

I Brought You My Bullets, You Brought Me Your Love (nicknamed "Bullets") follows Finsternis, Koutali, and Eris.

## Background

Bullets is a story written by Techno Tinker. It is based on the My Chemical Romance album of the same name, and is the sequel to Dead Man's Party.

## Plot

### Romance

Eris and Koutali arrive at the airport in England on their way to visit Finsternis and his castle. They take a taxi up to the castle gates, where Harvey meets them and takes them the rest of the way to the castle. Finsternis greets them and they have dinner together. After dinner, Koutali catches up with the painting in his room before going to bed.

### Honey, This Mirror Isn't Big Enough for the Two of Us

The next morning over breakfast, Finsternis talks to Eris and Koutali about their plans for the day, but is interrupted by a staff member giving him the mail. He opens a letter and upon reading it, finds he is being called to Germany to help a town with a werewolf problem. Finsternis invites Eris and Koutali to go along with him, and they agree. Later on, Finsternis prepares them with equipment including a silver stake, bandages, gauze, wolfsbane, and a dose of the werewolf cure for each of them. The next evening they arrive at an inn in Germany, and while getting settled in, Koutali loses his dose of the werewolf cure.

### Vampires Will Never Hurt You

Finsternis and Eris are in their room at the inn and catch up with each other after years of no contact. He recounts the story of being attacked by a snow white werewolf, the incident that resulted in his mechanization. Eris briefly mentions Victor, and Finsternis scolds him for being friends with a vampire.

### Drowning Lessons

Finsternis takes Koutali out on their first day of werewolf hunting. They stop in the woods to warm up, and Finsternis briefs them on his plan to take down the werewolf pack leader. While they wait for a werewolf to appear, Finsternis is attacked, and Eris distracts it by drawing its attention and running away. The werewolf bites him, and they both disappear into the nearly frozen river.

### Our Lady Of Sorrows

Finsternis and Koutali return to the inn once more, eating dinner before going to bed. Upon falling asleep, Koutali has a dream about speaking to himself as a vampire, which ends in his vampire-self biting him and having to watch Finsternis' hypothetical death by transforming into a werewolf.

### Headfirst for Halos

Koutali and Finsternis once again go out into the woods to look for Eris as a snowstorm is blowing in. However, they are attacked by two werewolves, and Koutal runs from one of them through the woods. The werewolf chasing him eventually catches up, attacking him. Before it can land a killing blow, the werewolf is distracted by the call of the pack leader in the distance, and leaves Koutali alone in the woods. Eventually, despite the snowstorm, Finsternis takes Koutali back to the inn and tends to his wounds, using the second dose of the werewolf cure.

### Skylines and Turnstiles

Eris is alone in the woods, with hardly anything to keep himself warm. He thinks about the possibility of Finsternis killing him if he became a werewolf. Under the moon, he transforms for the first time.

Finsternis leaves the inn on his own to look for Eris. He finds him in the woods, and tries to convince him to take the werewolf cure, but Eris refuses, transforming again and chasing him out of the woods.

### Early Sunsets Over Monroeville

Finsternis is deeply upset about Eris and Koutali's injuries. He recounts memories of time spent with Eris and his sister Vistra in their childhood, and slowly makes peace with the fact that he may need to kill him. Finsternis eventually gets breakfast and wakes Koutali up, then eats and leaves again. He encounters Eris in the woods, this time as a werewolf, and is chased onto the frozen lake. Using Eris' imbalance on the ice, he takes the opportunity to get the werewolf cure out, but falls through the ice and into the water, too heavy to swim.

### This Is The Best Day Ever

Eris saves Finsternis from his would-be death by drowning and tells him off before running away into the woods again. Finsternis returns to the inn to warm up. That night, Koutali gets out of bed, unable to sleep, and gets himself a glass of water. Hearing something in their room, he finds Eris, who attacks him as a werewolf before turning back and talking to him. He transforms and leaves again just as Finsternis wakes up.

### Cubicles

Finsternis and Koutali make a plan to save Eris before the full moon renders it too late.

### Demolition Lovers

Koutali and Finsternis go out into the woods one last time. Upon encountering Eris, he tries to tell Finsternis and Koutali off again, but they refuse to leave him alone. Eris transforms and he and Finsternis fight before Finsternis finally charges and injects him with the werewolf cure. However, he is bitten before Eris can turn back. As asked of him previously, Koutali gets the stake from his bag in preparation to kill Finsternis before he dies by his own transformation. However, at the last fraction of a second, Koutali spots the missing cure dose in the snow from upending his bag, and injects Finsternis. The three return to the inn and go home.
