brightknightie: Janette leaning on the Raven bar (Janette)

"And Memories, Like Diamonds, Shine" is my favorite story that is set entirely inside the Raven. Thanks for the reminder! I treated myself to a reread. I remember that the very first time I read it, I didn't quite get the extra fantasy element, the jewelry with "a life of its own," her re-embodied memories as hungrily vampiric as Janette herself. Subsequent readings have been rewarded.

It's probably been a very influential story! Fanfic is full of the association of Janette and jewelry, yet that's not really something we see on screen. What she wears in the present day is mainly costume jewelry, and there is never once a scene of Nick or Lacroix giving her jewelry.
