Fics like If You Are Reading This, I Am Destroyed...

The story of Sasha Ivliskova, wife to Strahd von Zarovich, Dread Lord of Barovia. This started as a personal project for a PC of mine that I played over a year ago, but in the process of reading more about Sasha Ivliskova, I found a lot missing and a lot to be desired with a woman that is unique in the CoS canon. This can be read for fun, especially since this is my own personal take while playing Sasha, but if you are dming CoS, this is also a way to use Sasha beyond her minor encounter in the crypts. The content of this fic includes info from Curse of Strahd (2016), Van Richten’s Guide to Ravenloft/Horrors Within, Expedition to Castle Ravenloft (2006), and a lot of story from I, Strahd: The Memoirs of a Vampire by P.N. Elrod. In fact, I would consider this a remix and a love letter to her version of Strahd. As such, there are a lot of canon changes that you are free to disregard or use as you see fit! I will detail specific changes after each chapter for clarification if you are interested. This work was proofread and edited by my lovely partner @marion-ettes on Tumblr, Bluesky, and @marion.ettes on TikTok. They also drew the beautiful art pieces in this fic. Please commission them! Enjoy!
