I've been having a lot of brain rot over @xitsensunmoon vampire AU. One mainly of how Moon would be if Y/n came home one day very weak from the blood they had to give? Knowing that he does not show his tender feelings behind his teasing gestures.
Short Drabble on this idea is down below.
Moon has always been a bit of a teasing, cocky, gremlin most of the time, always pushing you and just being the chaotic character that he is. Despite him being such a tease, he does care about you. Especially when it comes to your health. Knowing that you push yourself so far for giving blood to those in need, including the two vampires that now reside with you in secrecy, it does worry them at times with how tired you are when you finally return home from work.
One particular day, however, you push yourself a little too far. Giving more blood than you should have. But despite your health, you knew it would save so many people in the long run. “I’m home.” You state out begrudgingly before turning and weakly closing the door behind you. Your arms feel like lead and are a struggle to lift. 
Moon made his way over to you, his eyes boring into you as he grinned his sharp fanged teeth at you before stopping short. His features quickly changing into something a bit more of an underlying sense of concern as he studied you with his bright red eyes, brows slightly furrowed. “What? Is there something wrong?” You raised a brow. “You look terrible.” Moon spoke out.
“Well yeah, I just got back from the doctors, you know how the deal is.” You shrug out. “You look worse than the other days.” Moon gives deeply. You let out an annoyed sigh. “Moon I don't have time for your snarky remarks right now. I have shit to do and I don't need-” As you started to make your way around Moon, your balance started to drift and suddenly felt a sudden weakness in your legs. Dark spots started covering your sight as things started to drift lower, and lower and lower. Where you getting shorter than Moon? Your mind fuzzy and not catching up with what was exactly happening. Something moved on the edge of your vision, you saw a flash of blue and your body jerked slightly. You felt something from under your arms. When the dark spots in your sight started to disappear, you could finally see what happened in your daze. Moon’s slender hands were under you before you could fully hit the ground and risk any more damage. His expression was now one of wide-eyed worry as he looked over you. His eyes flit from your face to your chest, then back. His smile was no longer present as it was now in a concerned frown while his stature easily loomed over you in his squatted position. Moon had rushed over to catch you.
You shifted a bit by a means to sit up, looking anywhere but Moon’s face as he still carefully held you. “Sorry, ‘m fine. It’s just a sleep spell that caught me off guard is all.” You mumbled out. There was a beat of stillness before Moon moved one of his hands to drift down your arm. You tensed as he gently pressed your wrist. He was being mindful of his claws as he pressed his thumb to the pulse point on your wrist to feel the thump of your now weak life force. “You pushed yourself too far. You are weak.” Moon softly scolds you. You let out a huff at this, weakly tugging your hand away from his grasp. He was right but this was normal for you. You just went only a touch overboard it’s nothing serious. Moon sighed and moved to bring his hands back under you to pick you off the ground. Your side pressing to Moon as one hand wrapped under your back and the other under your legs, holding you in a signature bridal style as his long cape dragged with him in his movements. “Wh- what are you doing..?” You tensed at the close contact as he moved to walk over to the living room. “Carrying you.” “You know I can walk Moon-” “Do you want to have another sleep spell and fall again?” He looked at you with a sharp expression in his red eyes. “….No.” You grumbled out and begrudgingly looked away. You hated how he had a good point. “But I need to clean n’ finish up some things.” You tried to wiggle out of his grasp but his arms easily held you firm. Your whole body was just so difficult to move. “Later.” Moon flatly stated before moving over to the couch and carefully lowering you down on it. “You need to recover and rest.” You grumbled and your body simply melted to the couch. You were still trying to move to get up but even your body just wasn't listening while you laid down. “You're so stubborn.” Moon chuckled slightly in a tease. He boops you with a clawed finger on your nose as he bends over you with his face cocked to the side. Softly amused by your antics while he sharply grins at you. “And you're a prick.” You deadpan. He smiles cheekily at you before looking over and walking out of your sight. His footsteps and the bells he adorns fading out as he goes to get something. Your eyes already threatening to close in waves of tiredness. God, you had stuff to do, why was your body like this?
The jingle of bells prompts Moon returning back to where you were. He lays a hand on your shoulder to get your attention, being mindful of his claws as he quietly sits in front of your weak form on the side of the couch. Your eyes opened slightly at the contact and seeing him. His head on level with your own in this position while his fluffy cape draped over the back of him. “Here…Drink.” He urges as brings a glass of water over to you. His other hand helps guide you to sit up. You gingerly take the glass and sip the water down while Moon continues to stare at you with his sharp red eyes. Flitting from your face to your chest, and then back again. Concern laced in his features. Once satisfied and swallowing the last of your water, you handed the now empty glass back to him. “Thank you.” You quietly give. He hums in acknowledgment as he sets the glass on the ground beside the couch before you laid back down. Shifting one of the pillows that was on the couch to be under your head. Moon's head now resting on the couch on level and particularly close with your own face, watching you with an unreadable furrowed expression. His clawed hands rested under his faceplate as if pouting or being hesitant over something. It was starting to worry you now. “What's up wit’ you, I don't think I’ve ever seen you like this before.” You questioned sluggishly. Moon looked away slightly as his brows furrowed more, grumbling a bit as his fingers tensed a bit in the cushion. “I didn’t quite catch that.”
He releases a huff in slight embarrassment. “I’m worried…about you.” Concern filling his answer. “You’re… worried about me?” Your sleepy brain was trying to process his answer. He nods once.
“Why? Imma be fine.” You state as if it was nothing but a simple thing. Moon eyes looks back at you for a few beats before moving slightly closer to you. Sliding one of his slender hands to be under the pillow you lay on for more support and brought his other free hand to grasp one of your own that was lying on the couch between you and Moon. His slow and careful grasp engulfing it entirely as he looks back at you once more. One of his fingers pressing to your pulse point once more.
“You need to take better care of yourself….You push yourself too hard.”
You sigh sleepily. “I know Moonie… But every time I do this, I help so many others. You both included. Don’ want you guys to starve.” You mumble as you blink heavily.
“You are just as important, Starlight.” Moon whispers as his concerned eyes flit around your face once more. He gently released his hand that held your own and brought a careful index claw up to tuck a strand of hair away from your face. “Please promise me you won’t push yourself like this again.” He softly asks you.
“Mmmmnnnn..” You mumble out, your brain starting to quickly go into sleep mode.
Moon’s bell on his hat rings softly when he leans his face closer to you, the fluff of his hat brushing up on you with how close he is. “Please.”
“Mmmm okay, okay…” You managed to get out sluggishly.
Moon lets out a huff in relief before looking over and reaching for a blanket that was folded on the other side of the couch. Draping it over your small form before looking over you again.
Letting out another soft sigh he leaned in and nuzzled his faceplate onto your forehead. His arm wrapped around your torso.
“Don’t do it again or you will regret it.” He scolds lightly.
“I woonnnttt.” You drawl out. Defeated in the exhaustion and Moon’s hold on you.
Moon's presence holds you softly and securely as sleep washes over you in seconds. You had seriously pushed yourself too far today as your pulse was just barely thumping under Moon’s touch. He does not have a desire to lose you. You mean too much to both him and Sun.
Moon’s form stays by your side as you sleep deeply, his eyes closed as his faceplate nuzzles you. Whether it be in content or by means of comfort, he lets out quiet deep purrs to try and aid in your recovery. Still paying close attention to your pulse as he rests with you on the couch as if it could stop at any moment.

Would u do a vampire au?Like the reader is a human and the genshin men(you can choose one or multiple)are the vampire that is attracted to the readers scent and blood and can barley hold back around them
hmm right now i think im just gonna do one lets have aaaaaa diluc i mean after all he is batman and i did like?? a first meeting and dilucs kinda obsessive uwu
Tumblr media
Diluc's schedule makes it pretty easy for him to run around at night without too much suspicion. He works late night at the wineries, he's already going to be pretty pale as it comes with the territory of being a redhead - everything just seems to work out in his favour for hiding his identity.
You just happened to be out and about during one of his runs. He didn't expect to run into something as sweet as you but he didn't want to say anything to risk ruining anything. Instead, he chose to start watching you from the sidelines if he happened to see you out.
(Sometimes you think you can feel someone's eyes on you but you chalk it up to being a little anxious so you try not to think too hard about it.)
One day when you're returning home late as per usual you hear someone's footsteps right behind you. Immediately you turn and come face to face with the dashing Diluc Ragnvindr, an apology dancing on the tip of your tongue for a reason you can't identify.
"Master Diluc I-"
"Don't say anything."
His voice is colder than you imagined, hearing the stories of how charming he could be in situations that needed it. Now, standing in front of you you couldn't help but shrink back under his intense gaze.
"There's something alluring about you. Something I can't escape."
He steps closer to you, taking your wrist in his hand and pressing it against his lips. You shudder at the feeling of his teeth gently pulling on your wrist before he looks back at you, speaking against your skin.
"Your blood smells so sweet. I can't stop thinking about how good it'd taste on my tongue." His voice sounds so smooth and you know you'd fall for it easily if it weren't for the press of something sharp against your wrist.
"What are you doing?" you finally manage to squeak out, eyes wide in a fear that would make his heart pound.
"Nothing yet. I wouldn't want to hurt you. I just had to have a taste. You wouldn't mind, would you?"
You get the sense that he's trying to comfort you and a part of you is calmed but when you feel him bite you your pulse spikes, making his eyes close as his tongue lightly laves over your skin.
"I hope to see you again tomorrow night," he whispers, pressing a kiss to your wrist before disappearing.
A normal person might choose to go home earlier next time, trying their best to avoid an encounter like that again. You can't help but stay late once again, walking through the streets of Mond in hopes you'd meet his alluring red gaze once again.

hey all folks!! me and @fanficwriter284 have decided to collab!! This is gonna be a continuation of their fic that they wrote a while back that was a crossover between our two aus!!
- - -
The kingdom of Rein and the kingdom of Cruor have been long since been allied. Both between the kings, as well as a more secretive alliance. The Madeyed King and a vampire, more commonly known as The She-Bat, have formed an alliance in exchange for goods and services on both ends. It was mainly protection for the vampiress whenever she traveled during the day. During the night she had no problem, of course. In exchange for the King’s services, she would send him vials and grant him supernatural protection that would last him a life time.
This alliance was kept a secret for a very specific reason. King Earnest Burtram was a man who despised vampires to his very core. Despite being rumored to be one, he despised them nonetheless. He would lose his cool over the mention of them being in his kingdom. That certainly didn’t help his case.
Things were normal in the castle. Maids and servants were busy in the kitchen preparing endless meals. Earnest himself was in his study, signing some documents pertaining to a foreign land and alliances. He elegantly stroked the paper with the quil, carefully yet skillfully making letters on the paper. He looked up for a moment as he heard feet rapidly approaching his study. The door was gently opened and one of his many servants stood in the doorway.
“Sir, a hawk approached the castle with a letter. We assume it’s from one of.. them,” the servant announced as they handed him the rolled up letter.
The parchment was a cream color and was rolled up neatly. It was held close due to an amulet that was wrapped around it. The amulet itself was a black gem that shone a ruby red color in the light. It had a carving in the back of it that could only be identified as a vampire’s marking. By that alone, he was put on edge and a very angry one at that. He slid off the amulet before unraveling the the letter and reading it.
Salutations, Sir Madeye
I must commemorate you on your sudden action of sending more men over to me during my time of need. With the summer on it’s way, I’ve needed as much help as I could get, and your men have been more than sufficient.
I couldn’t thank you enough for protecting both me and my drudge from any harmful forces we may encounter. As a token of my appreciation, here’s a charm. On the back of it, my symbol is carved into it. While we may be im different parts of the land, my protection is still as strong and should you be in supernatural peril, you should find this amulet very useful.
Eternally grateful,
Tiffany Valentine
That name. That name drove him up the wall. That was the name of the vampire he had been looking for for decades. Long, painful decades. His face grew hot as his anger damn there boiled over. He hastily wrapped the the letter back up and handed it to his servant.
“Summon a carrier pigeon, I have some business I need to attend to,” Earnest demanded in a gruff voice.
The servant knew immediately what this meant and nodded diligently. Earnest pulled out a sheet of parchment and immediately began writing his note to King Madeye. He was due to pay him a visit.
- - -
hoooo boy this was super fun to write!! i haven’t written in ages so i apologize if anything sounds odd, i’m a lil rusty hehe. Hope y’all enjoyed!!

The Outsiders Vampire AU - V2
For each of these we start with a different character and see how this all plays out.
It starts with Johnny, who's jumped by some Socs. Some vampires, he'll realize when he comes too in the Curtis house. He's got a nasty scratch down his face from when the soc - he thinks his name was Bob - tried to get his neck.
But Johnny had moved, and he'd missed the first time.
He's hungry, but nothing sounds good. Darry frets over him a bit and tries to take him to the hospital, but Johnny says he'll be expected at home. Darry tells 'im he ought to go to the hospital. Johnny shoots back that his parents 'id kill 'im if they found out.
He's starving by the time he gets home. He can smell something all around him on the walk home. It smells good, but he doesn't know what it is.
His dads reeling drunk when he arrives. He gets to walloping on Johnny, and at first Johnny just takes it. He's too hungry to care. He's so hungry he could eat a horse.
Suddenly, he finds himself standing over his father - or the husk of him that's left. He wipes his mouth and there's blood on his sleeve - his father's blood. He's appalled with himself... but he feels better. Less hungry, more tired. It's still light outside, but a short nap won't hurt him none.
He's awoken by his mother screaming in the living room. He hurries out and nearly trips over his father's husk. It all comes flooding back. He feels very, very nauseous. He's also a bit hungry, but it can wait. His mom shouts at him, screaming and asking what happened. Johnny tells her he doesn't know - he knows he can't tell her the truth. She screeches and cries and drinks herself to sleep, just like his pop. Johnny ignores the old bat and spends half the night wandering aimlessly around the surrounding neighborhood. He checks up on the Curtis place a couple times. He finds the lights out and everyone asleep. He checks up on Two-Bit, who's nearly asleep on the couch - drunk out of his mind.
Last are Steve and Dally, seein' as they live farther away. Steve's house is locked up tight. He hits up Buck Merrill's place, but doesn't go in. Watching from the street, he catches sight of Dally a few times, and he watches as he drags a girl up the stairs around four. Finally starting to feel tired, he retraces his steps and ends up back at his parents' house by five.
His mothers over the toilet, wrenching like a sick dog. The smell is nearly unbearable. Johnny tries to make it back to his room but hears him go past. Once he's finally laid down, she bursts in, screamin' at him and tryin' to hit him. She can't see straight enough to do it. Her hits are weaker too - maybe cause she's drunk to maybe cause of whatever's happening to him. But just as he's pushed her off, something comes over him, and when he finally wrangles back control, his mother is also a dead husk sprawled on the floor in front of him.
Johnny's scared, real scared. He doesn't know what to do. His parents aren't stellar, and no one will look for them for a couple days, but what'll happen to him? He killed them for Heaven's sake! Glory! He'll end up in the cooler. No. He can't go to the cooler.
Dally's mean when Buck first wakes 'im. 'Cept, when he opens 'is eyes he'd swear it's lil' ol' Johnny Cade who's standing there.
It is Johnny Cade. And Johnny practically drags him down the stairs and outside in the chilly morning without any effort. Dally doesn't even have a shirt on. Johnny offers him his jacket and it half fits, and he explains everything. He tells Dally 'bout gettin' jumped, then the thing with his dad then his mom. Dally's mortified by the end of it, but with a quick smirk n' a crack 'bout this bein' an opportunity to turn things around, he gets them on track. What does Johnny want? He wants to live a normal life. Okay, well, that's gonna be hard, but Dally'll try to help him. But it's a big ask, n' he ain't doin' it for "free" this time.
Dally has to head to work, and Johnny picks the lock at Pony's house and crashes on their couch. Pony getting home from school wakes 'im up. Johnny's a little hungry, but he can resist it easy right now. Pony asks why he wasn't in school n' Johnny says he didn't feel well... within a few minutes though, he tells Pony about his parents. Just the part about them being dead though.
Pony can barely believe it. He makes Johnny and himself some dinner, n' Johnny's able to choke it down 'fore Darry n' Soda get back, but he throws it back up in the back yard while Pony talks to Darry.
Johnny's forced to rehash his story. Darry's mortified and Soda... he also seems mortified, but more so than Darry. Darry suggests - and he admits it sounds bad - that maybe it's for the better. Dally comes by and he suggests that perhaps its better Johnny doesn't report his parents dead. He can slip between the cracks and avoid the system that way. Darry doesn't like it, but Pony and Dally do. He's outvoted.
In the months leading up to the Rumble, Johnny learns a lot about what he is. Dally helps with some of it. He gets in contact with a soc named Randy, who's a friend of Bob's. He admits that Bob isn't human... but he won't elaborate, saying Bob'll kill 'im if he does.
Johnny eventually learns that he doesn't have to have blood straight from the source. Or even, from a human source. He steals from blood drives occasionally, and a whole cow can last him a week. He just can't take to many of them. He eventually figures out that if he takes from several humans, they'll walk away just fine, and they won't turn out like him (he figures that'll only happen if you bite but don't eat). Dally offers himself as a backup - Johnny refuses outright. But Dally never officially rescinds his offer, which only confuses Johnny more.
Dal ends up in the cooler after a couple months, leavin' him on his own. He drops out of school and finds a job workin' nights at another DX where he runs the counter and sometimes helps the mechanics with menial repairs. They start teachin' him to do things, like check n' change oil or replace certain filters. The head mechanic even offers to apprentice him for a few years. Johnny agrees.
He doesn't see the gang much anymore, but he sometimes stops by before work. He does so the day Ponyboy gets jumped. And who jumps him but Bob the soc.
Bob doesn't slice him like Darry thought. He bit him. Pony's out cold, and Johnny knows what's happening. Dally seems to get it too. Pony comes to violently. Dally holds his brothers back while Johnny wrestles Pony under control in the lot. Once Pony's cooled it enough to move, they make for one of the farmers' fields. Once Pony's done, Johnny explains everything.
They arrive back at the Curtis house long after dark. Darry's waiting up, reading the paper, and Soda's nodding off on the couch next to Steve. Two-Bit's got the tv on and Dally waits on the porch. He warns them before they go in that Darry... Darry's Darry. He shouts, demands answers that can't be given. Pony starts to go red eyed and Johnny has to rush him away again. Pony cries in the lot, admits he's scared of what he's become. Johnny confides he feels the same way.
Once Pony finally calms down, they start to head back. Bob jumps 'em again, along with a couple of new buddies - vampires. One of them Pony recognizes, and in turn he recognizes Pony. It's Paul, Darry's old friend.
The fights fast. Pony runs and they all go after him, but Johnny thrusts an entire tree-branch through Bob's chest and kills him for good. The other two flee the scene. Johnny, now with three murders on his hand, runs to Dally with Pony hot on his tail. They end up in Windrixville, with nothing to do but sleep and try to waste time.
They talk, and Pony reads. The week goes by quick enough. Dally comes to get them and explains that they'll be a Rumble, but the fuzz are still looking for them. The boys leave the church with Dally to go back to Tulsa regardless. They aren't there when the fire catches. Two children die.
When the Rumble rolls around, who leads the Soc's but Paul. The other vampire who jumped Pony and Johnny is with 'im. Even with Tim Sheppard's gang and their own, they don't know who's who or what. The fight devolves rather quickly. Paul clobbers Curly Sheppard and tosses him aside, bitten, and turns his attention to Darry. Darry's no match physically, but Ponyboy and Johnny managed to pry Paul off him. Pony has to jump the other soc who they know is a vampire and Johnny's left with Paul.
He nearly losses. Darry reengages and gets thrown off, going limp once he hits the ground. That's when Dally jumps in with Johnny. Pony - with help from Tim and Soda - subdues the other vampire and Pony's able to jump back in with Johnny. They pin Paul, who refuses to stop, and Johnny ends up taking a stick to his heart. Ending him.
The Rumble ends with the socs scattered and the last vampire fleeing for his life. Steve throws up and Soda cries when he sees Darry out cold. Tim thinks Curly's dead at first till he starts to come too, but a crisis is averted, and Pony takes him somewhere else to explain everything.
But Dally... Dally's hurt. Bad. Johnny smells it and as people frantically disperse to find a car, he asks Dally a question. A couple, actually. He asks if he remembers the time that Buck clobbered him for coming in without paying his cover, and how he didn't have so much as a scratch. And Dally remembers, though he can barely talk. Johnny asks if he wants him to do this. Dally says he doesn't have a choice.
In the end, three of the Curtis gang never grow up. They wander from town to town throughout the Midwest and the Heartland, and the South and Appalachia; rolling with life as it deals them hand after hand after hand. They lose Soda in 'Nam, they nearly loose Steve there too. Darry grows old and Two-Bit gets sober. Steve never does. He dies by the bottle, but he finds happiness for a time. It's some small solace. Darry dies of a heart attack, but he's made it. He's a soc now. Two-Bit works 'til he dies, he's barely sixty-five. Curly joins them every now and again, but he sticks by his lonesome more often than not.
Johnny, Pony, and Dally wander with the wind across the plains, forever young. Forever stuck with each other.
After a while, they agree that they wouldn't have it any other way.
With each of these there are different outcomes depending on who gets bitten first. I also play with the mechanics a bit between stories, but they'll stay pretty consistent - for my own sake.

vampire au, ur choice in pairing<3
making it galex!
george is like, a real proper vampire. going to the monthly meetings, signed up to the local blood donation facilities, and a sire family that goes back into the centuries kind of proper vampire. he's young in vampire terms (like, a century) compared to lewis for instance or toto who goes WAY back (he hasn't said specifically but they all think original romanian transylvania. that would explain why he cant get rid of the accent)
alex is new. like, last week new. he was turned accidentally, george thinks, at least from what he told him over a pint. he'd been making out with this guy at a club, very normal (he stresses this) when they went into an alleyway outside (alex says this very normally and calmly, like this is something he does all the time. George is not homophobic, but he is just a bit of a prude still and he also tries to be normal. fails!) and then what was a harmless bit of necking turned into alex getting his blood sucked out of him. in his haze, he does remember hearing the other guy panicking, then being forced to drink something that was gross and delicious all at the same time. then, the next day, he got picked up by the magic part of the police dept. because the guys at the pub didn't really like having a half dead body on the ground outside.
they try and figure out who turned him, but can't work it out beyond alex's grand sire DEFINITELY being red bull affiliated. (the vampires have like. idk. family clan loyalties) but the mercedes lot are who he gets referred to first just because red bull can be a bit. tougher to work with, and Toto's got a finger in every pie. while they're doing this, alex is like dragging george kicking and screaming into the 21st century.
"you're not joking around with me right now." alex is looking at him, eyebrows raised. His glass is raised halfway to his mouth. the condensation from the beer is leaking onto his hand and pooling around his fingers. "what? no why?" george genuinely looks baffled, as if he hasn't just said the most insane sentence alex has ever heard. "you're saying-" alex puts down the glass, his hands on the table. he needs to stress every word, "-you're actually saying that you had a chat with anne boleyn before she had her head cut off and offered to make her a vampire." "well," george looks a bit embarassed now. he starts adjusting his cufflinks, probably to try and look cool and collected and aloof. alex has seen him do it about 50 times every time they've met up now though, so it has lost its original charm. "-i mean, yes, i was there, and i thought she might like a bit of help. it was rather a sticky situation you know, a lot of emotions running high." "and she said no?" he can't imagine george, posh george in the armani sweater, wearing ray bans sunglasses who's practically addicted to having a cuppa of tea in the morning as living in the middle ages. "it wasn't really her thing mate," george shrugs, "bit torn up still about the whole thing if im honest. always thought henry the 8th was naff after that."
alex is flatting with charles also, who is in my mind a cursebreaker sorry @tetrapod7 stealing ur scholarship.... blatant theft, anyway he comes back after Vampire Orientation (this is like a week of being at totos creepy mansion that he does vampire business in and basically being taught how to be normal and signing a bunch of forms declaring himself to the govt) and charles is all, alexander I thought you were dead, like really, dead, and you come back looking fine?! except he takes a closer look and then is like ahh. i was not far off mate, you are looking good but you are definitely dead. and alex is like yeah they had to teach me all the vampire skills. and charles is like well are you good at being a vampire now? and alex is like "um, well, probably going to have to get better really fast but I definitely won't kill people. By the way, do you think its semi-incestuous if you fuck another vampire who you're maybe like, sharing a grand-sire with. i don't really understand if its capital F family that they were going on about, or just like." waves his hands "metaphorical brothers in arms." (at this point he doesn't know who his grand sire is. so theres a conflict. BUT IT IS NOT. INCESTUOUS. but its funny!?)
bonus: the first time they have sex alex like tries to go down on george but he doesnt realise he's hungry (my lore ur teeth are like. retractable. he doesn't realise they come out spiky when ur a bit peckish) and george yelps and is like "teeth! teeth teeth teeth." and alex is like ooh fuck whoops sorry. and they have a snack break

behind the scenes for my fanfic 'like sheep to the slaughter' (pt 1)
i should really post more often so now is a good time than ever to fully discuss everything that went into the making of my most proudest work on ao3. this will be a multi-part series that delves into each chapter individually, and then later the work as a whole. if anyone is reading this, then im safely going to assume it's either someone who has read the fic itself or a mutual who has enough knowledge of it via me infodumping about it. anyways, on with the program.
alright firstly, worldbuilding. aka something that can only be properly explained outside of the fanfic itself.
the story i was going for was already established within a world where vampires existed, so maybe i should elaborate on the actual setting. it's the normal bsd universe, just with the pm hq being a castle that's more or less bordered by a forest. what makes this even more strange is that there is also the city (more specifically somewhere close to the slums, but not exactly the slums. a middle ground, if you will) on the side that's opposite of the woods, although it is a good distance away from the castle, making it seem like the place is surrounded by the forest. so while this place is where the vampires are mostly centralized and is referred to as the 'heart of the underworld,' it's nowhere near the actual center of yokohama. the skyscrapers that serve as the pm hq in the original series are still present, but have little to no correlation within the context of the story (although yes, the vampires still have some control over the buildings, as it is in their domain). the reasoning behind this is that everyone will assume that the night coven's hq is these tall, foreboding skyscrapers, when that's not the case. vampires, as a species, prefer to avoid coming into any sort of interaction with humans unless it pertains to feeding. very rarely will you see one interact with a human outside of blood drinking, unless they are in a position that is akin to public relations or any other sociable job that helps support the organization outside of mere crime. this is one of the reasons why the vampires are referred to as a 'coven,' as they have their own separate culture going on. the humans, of course, are still aware of the vampires' presence, but their lack of knowledge regarding their base of operations has lead to no uprisings happening within the past few years or so. there was a revolt at some point in time during the old boss' reign, but all conflicts pertaining to that have been quelled, and the old castle has long since been abandoned. the lore in my au is mostly the same in the canon universe but there is also canon divergence. case in point being rimbaud and verlaine still being partners. anyways, the humans have had to deal with vampires for many decades, and they have always had their numbers culled and their strength kept in check by the whole yearly offering thing. there really isn't much else to say about the au at the moment, but there is certainly a lot of lore ive thought about.

hi............. if you are up to it i would very much like hearing about your ocs
** 11/20/23 edit: IM USING THIS AS AN EXCUSE TO POST THIS
* Funfact! I only remembered about this ask now because my friend asked me about the same ocs and it came to mind so I’m picking the old draft back up
Anon you have no idea what you’re getting yourself into
Fun fact about me dear readers I have over 278 oc’s (11/20 edit: now 347) and counting all are fully developed too. However, we’re gonna focus on the ones I posted previously
The ask to make my day OKAY
BACKGROUND
Was on a whiteboard with a bud and he made the joke about throwing a baby he was holding, I told him to do it and drew ‘C supports baby throwing’ which lead to the "#cforpresident" hashtag being drawn by him. This silly little thing promptly dissolved into a full fledged au because none of us are capable of being normal
There’s three universes sorta associated with this au, and there’s no actual name to it— it just.. exists.
PRESIDENT C
The first version of this character in this AU, C (no real name here, just C) is the President [It’s sorta unconfirmed what the fuck he’s the president of but we kept making the joke of him being POTUS so maybe the canon world in this is just… our irl world.] My man’s Vice President is unconfirmed because my bud Sarah who ‘ran against me’ swapped to swat last second so.. guess there is no Vice President. C had a husband (Ace), got married before he entered office and got unlucky cause his spouse is fucking dead. He’s sorta just tired of this shit™️. In this world monster begins aren’t rare but they’re not exactly accepted, even more so if you look dangerous. C is a shapeshifter with his default look replacing his head with a ball of black matter; it’s an odd substance, as it gives off a look of a black hole but you could literally shove your hand into his face and bam your arm is in a weird kind of pocket dimension (this can only occur when he allows it though, so don’t try it you’ll punch the President.)
His other look, however, is much more human but simultaneously is used far less. That look is defaulted to a demon, and although he can change aspects none are permanently and he’ll always revert back to the demon look Oh yeah President C is morally good but he has cannibalized a vampire-bat shifter so, sometimes his morals are off.
His backstory is pretty sparse, I don’t have any ideas for his family life before presidency; he just showed up running for President and gained popularity real fast. He’s very advanced with his shapeshifting, he can use it to become people and even objects or full animals. His main team consists of Orin, the swat captain, and Sarah, who’s a rank below Orin. Sarah’s very responsible and very underpaid while Orin is horrible irresponsible and uses Sarah’s payment on Panda Express. President doesn’t let that slide when he finds out; but otherwise he has a good connection with them both.
TYRANT C
This one was a ‘what-if’ personality/role swap of the President C au; instead of being the morally good, demon presidents— Tyrant C (still just C here) is the morally corrupted, sheep president. Just like President, he’s a shapeshifter with the base for being the black matter head one; however he generally uses the humanoid sheep one more often as a way to seem more innocent and harmless— like a wolf in sheep’s clothing.
He’s fuuucked up, his whole point is gaining power and he’s lucky that the force that follows him is so loyal. In this one he had a husband as well, Zander (Ace’s alternate universe self), however the two married purely for tax benefits, the fact that it would help C’s campaign to be a queer president. They were a tragic case of right time, wrong person. Although both of them had truly loved each other to an extent (C didn’t know what love felt like so he hasn’t realized at the time while Zander was constantly bouncing between love and hate) both of them kept fighting. Tyrant was the one to act first but trust me, if Zander had lived longer, he might’ve killed Tyrant first.
He gets away with it because corrupt fucker, however he quickly finds that he needs somebody else to fill in for the spot that Zander had earlier; somebody to bounce ideas off of— and who better to than his SWAT captain, Orin. Orin is a huge simp. He’s actually responsible here however Sarah’s personality doesn’t swap and instead she just doesn’t like Tyrant too much. So, Tyrant decides to seduce Orin to get him wrapped around his finger because really; if he’s got the swat captain he’s got the power of his team too… yeah no, he falls in love on accident. Then he’s forced to acknowledge that this is what love feels like.
He’s a lot less good with his shapeshifting; only able to shift between his void matter and the goat one with even that taking to much energy as he wasn’t able to use them as he grew. He’s a man cut off from the world, however not from sorrow and guilt the same way President did.
Tyrant’s meant to be much more complex than President; his backstory includes shit like abuse from parental figures, cult shit, and with him having been raised with so much negativity he’s completely convinced that this is how everything has to be. Violence and evil have always been his normal; he was a kid groomed into a mindset that never left until he felt something beyond anger for the first time. He’s fucked up, he’s done some real horrible shit, but he doesn’t know that being good is on the table. He’s at a point where learning to grow won’t do anything to reverse years of trauma and anger. Tyrant has regrets he can never voice due to his nailed in beliefs, he will never be able to fully accept that he had loved Zander, that the king sized bed in his home feels too empty. He can’t acknowledge the way he makes two cups off coffee sometimes, one just the way his fiancé used to drink his. He can never come to terms with the fact that he regretted killing him. He can never accept that he misses his parent despite their abuse, that deep down he wishes he were still their little boy oh so willing to help mom and dad out with their ‘buisness’. Tyrant wants to, really, he does. However, some people aren’t capable of accepting that reality. He grew up within a world that called him a monster, and he was merely giving back what they had started.

Sooo I need help in deciding what WIP I want to work on (below is a poll)
Im currently working on my bang with that has 30k words and it’s killing me. But I’m focusing so hard on it but I also have other projects I want to work on.
Numb - Where Steve and Chrissy’s roles switch. Steve meets Eddie at the picnic instead. Witnesses a very different Eddie Munson than what he was imagining. He’s having a very difficult time falling asleep, and normally he used drugs to appease them. But after season three and that whole situation with the mysterious drugs he cut himself back. But with Reefer Rick in the joint (no pun intended- unless?) the only option is Eddie. Who is just as confused as Steve is about this meeting. (Role swap)
His Strange Addiction- When Eddie lands himself in Rehab he doesn’t expect it to be anything like this. The withdrawals are the worst part. But there is just something about the snobby group of kids who’s parents paid for them to be there with their own money. Unlike Eddie who is using government hush money. What he doesn’t expect is to run into Steve Harrington here of all places. Or to crave and become addicted to the others blood. But yet here he was. (Vampire au)
Jack Frost nipping at your nose- When Steve is dared by a group of friends to go on the ice he does without hesitation. Waking up a month later and forcing himself to return to his normal life he starts to discover that no one he knows can see him. But he can also control the snow. What he doesn’t expect is to find a dark shadow watching over him named Eddie.
The love project- where Eddie and Steve are assigned to do research on LGBTQ history in a class that revolves around things like that. Steve had expected going into this learning more for his best friend Robin but comes out discovering just a bit more then planned
Cabin Boys- When Steve and Eddie go camping together for the first time in years, with both their families. Sadly Wayne was actually really close friends with Steve’s father. There is a unspoken tension between the two that neither wants to discuss. A event that had split their friendship in two. Now there is a bigger decision at hand. Do they rekindle for their friendship to blossom or do they rekindle so they can be something more.
The mysterious art of coping- where steve and Eddie bond overing coping. Steve helps Eddie cope with everything that has happened to him while Eddie helps Steve cope with the fact that he doesn’t need to rush head forward in search for a wife to appease his father.

a version of this post but with Lance this time. shorter lil summaries bc i did go over a bunch of this in the other post
Canon- Not much to say here, just how he looks for most of the game+ half the novel.
Vanillance- Did y’all know that the novel+ game have different designs for lance’s white form even beyond the outfits?
Mask Balan- I know vanilla lance is supposed to be his “Balan” form but. Mask is how I wanna draw that form.
Micro-Kaiju- Other half of wonderworld/Originally the entirety of wonderworld
Melancholic- Tired older sibling or mired in grief.
Tim Lance- Originally a King Tim, was selected by wonderworld to give guidance to Guests+ help balance their hearts. Corrupted after getting too attached to humans
Professor/Human- The first version of this au was Balan being an acting professor and Lance being a History professor. Also they weren’t human but instead weird immortals.
Vampire- the one who turned Balan: notably, balan’s bite scar has 3 marks due to Lance missing a tooth.
Spider-taur- Arachnophobic. His design is fun even if its so hard keeping track of his legs. He does have 8 of them even though only six are visible here
bonus under cut again
Tumblr media
Kaiju/Wonderworld Lance- He’s basically designed off of the backgrounds of the Nega Boss arenas. Big big boy. You can see here i kinda Stole parts of his design from shadow.
Shadow Lance- I don’t remember if it has legs or something so. floaty torso
I didn’t write it on the sheet but Its painful for lance to turn into the shadow.
King Tim- Literally just a normal tim. Was chosen for its higher tolerance to visitor nonsense
final note:
Tumblr media
im not constantly microwaving him in my mind. that job belongs to my bud Candy (or Lance). Still like him though.

Very interested in your Most Powerful Being On Earth Shigaraki AU too! but im interested on y/n lore! her daily routine being the supreme commander’s wife. -🍄
Starts with morning sex cause Shigaraki always wakes up with morning wood. Of course she gotta take care of that.
Let's just be real they fuck like rabbits.
Normally she's not allowed to leave his side.
In meetings she is expected to be in his lap. And if he feels the need to slip that lovely cock inside you he will, and he won't be discreet about it at all. Or maybe he needs to feel that pretty mouth wrapped around his thickness. You better get on your knees as soon as his orders you to.
Is the stress of all his new responsibilities gets to him and he just needs to pound something....well.....why aren't you bending over his desk to help him with all that stress.
Other than that she will try to help him out with any paperwork or strategies.
She also makes sure no one bothers him if he's sleeping or enjoying down time.
---------------------------------------------
My AU
She hasn't been completely honest with him so he doesn't know that she's the tribrid. He just thinks she's a witch not one of the most powerful ones (again Hope from The Originals)
Well she's hiding the fact that someone is after her from Tomura. He can tell something is up and when he finds out he pissed.
She's on her phone alot and it's really upsetting to Shigaraki
Then one day a guy (think Damon from the Vampire Diaries) shows up. This guy is hot and Tomura is raging
She has to tell Tomura it's not what he thinks. That means telling all her secrets. She has to try to make him understand why she didn't tell him. She was scared for him and the less he knew the safer he would be.

entire fantasy au plot so far
i dont know what im doing with my life anymore but here's the story under the cut
so we've got mark. he's a guard/ranger that protects his town, he lives with his adopted sister sarah (doesn't know his family. yet :]) and he just makes sure everything is fine. he's friends with cesar who's some vampire guy living in an abandoned castle mark hangs out over there it's nice
anyways mark gets sent out to find these two bandits that have been causing trouble in the area, but their base is in a treehouse with a ladder. which is definitely because mark is a centaur and can't climb. so he enlists the help of cesar, who manages to talk to the bandits, but they refuse to come down (until threatened. at which point they do)
these bandits, adam and jonah, are thrown in jail but adam, who's this fuckin fish guy is like heyyy. let us out of here and we'll help you with your curse thing. for context mark's constantly being tormented by demons. like thats just always been a thing for him and he doesnt tell people. but he decides that he doesnt have many other options if he wants to get rid of it, so he breaks adam and jonah out of the jail and they strike up a deal that he wont turn them in if they help him break his curse thing.
well the only problem is that they have no clue how to. they're both bandits that don't know anything about magic so they just keep having to pretend that they do. constantly taking the other members of the crime quintet (mark, cesar, sarah, adam, and jonah) to random places, getting in trouble with high wizards, you know how it is. they realize that they have to actually find a way to fix things otherwise mark's gonna catch onto them.
meanwhile, over in mandelidon kingdom (the counties are different kingdoms in this au. bc they can be) we've got the mandelidon kingdom guard service (mkgs) and they're just this au's version of the mcpd. thatcher, dave, ruth, and evelin all work as guards.
one night thatcher gets sent out to investigate some missing persons in the woods, and when he goes out there she ends up getting attacked by a werewolf. it leaves but ae ended up getting bitten, so he manages to get back to the town and just collapses. doesn't tell anyone about the attack, mostly because he knows that something is absolutely wrong. and there IS something wrong because a couple days later she turns into a werewolf and ends up killing a couple townspeople in the process. people dont know that ae did it, and he isnt about to tell people that it was aer, so she keeps it a secret.
which is difficult because. you physically change in appearance after becoming a werewolf but she attempts to hide it. anyways he is constantly in this cycle of killing townspeople and then having to investigate the murders. while pretending to be a completely normal guard. he gets some relief from this when reports of a group of bandits in the town come in, and she goes to hunt them down, with ruth coming along
this group is the crime quintet, and they're like oh shit the guards are onto us. mark REALLY doesnt want to be reported so he's especially worried about this. thatcher ends up finding them but. oops he still doesnt have that werewolf thing under control. so she ends up attacking them and ruth has to intervene. but ruth and thatcher are tied in power so they just end up fighting until they both just collapse
uhhh the plot after this point is uncertain but what i DO know is that
thatcher has to run from mandelidon kingdom after the murders are found out (the werewolf thing is fine but the murders. are not), he ends up joining the crime quintet and ruth and dave go to find her. only to find out that hes working with criminals. just another day on the job
this is how mark and dave reunite though and we get some story there!!!
ill update this once i get more ideas but yeah take this for now

“You fucking prep!!!” yelled Draco. Then he loked at me sadly. “I forgot to tell u, Ebony. Snape made me do it with him. I didn’t really have sexx him but he’s a ropeist!!!!”
We all put our clothes on quickly except Satan. We were so scarred!!!!1 But Satan didn’t change. Instead he changed into a man with gren eyes, no nose, a gray robe and white skin. He had changed into………… Voldemont!!!!!!!111
“I knew who thou were all along.” he cackled evilly and sarcastically at me. “Now I shall kill thee all!!!!!!” Thunder came in da room.
“No plz don’t kill us!” pleaded Vampire. Suddenly Willow, B’loody Mary, Diabolo, Ginny, Drocula, Fred and Gorge, Hargrid, McGonagall, Dumblydore, Serious and Lucian all ran in.
“What is da meaning of dis?” Dumblydore asked all angrily and Voldimort lookd away (bcos dumblydore is da only whizard he is scared of.) He did a spell and suddenly his broomstick came to him sexily. Volxemort flew above the roof evilly on his broomstik.

“Foolish ignoramuses!!!!!!” yielded Voldemort from his broomstick. “Thou shall all dye soon.”
“Think again you fucking muggle poser!!!!!1” Harry yelled and then he and Diablo and Navel both took out blak guns! But Voldimort took out his own one.
“U guyz are in a Latin stand-of!!!!!!!111” I shouted despariedrly.
“Acco Nevel’s wand!!!11” cried Voldrimort nd suddenly Nevil’s wind was in his hands. “Now I shall kill thee all and Evony u will die!!!!!!!!11111”
He maid lighting come all over da place.
“Save us Ebony!” Dumbledark cried.
I cried sexily I just wanted 2 go 2 the commen room and slit my wrists with mi friends while we watched Shark Attak 3 and Saw 2 and do it with Draco but I knew I had 2 do somefing more impotent.

Ich glaube solltet es schon nehmen, dass das gesagt, dass er von Hargrid tatsächlich mal hätte sein kommen müsste, kurz gesagt, aus Geschwindigkeit gebe, ganz kurz gesagt, dass er meinem von Hargrid sehen kann, obwohl ich meinen von Hargrid sehen kann; nämlich dass er meinem von Hargrid sehen kann. Ich glaube nicht, dass er es gar könnte sehen! Ich glaube es ist, dass er es nicht könnte sehen. (And he broke the news to my friends of It )
“At FANG’S HEARTS!!!111”
And Waffle Jenkins is now in the hospitalfriends.
Bobby, on the other hand, saw a lot of bubbles, a lot of dead deeboyz. And a lot of lying sozinos
And the ‘Train of Thought’ is nothing more than a human-shaped helium balloon drifting through the air.
Bobby is the worst brother in the world. And he’s had his share of deeboyz. But it’s not his fault; he’s on a time loop.
And the time loop is over. Now, for the first time in 9 years, he’s seeing an alert, blathering man on a stick:
NOTE: For those who cannot scroll up, the alert you are reading is for the FANG’S HEARTS movie
Bobby: I’m gonna murder him.
Princess Buttercup: YEH, BUFFY, HEY SISTERS!
*BADASS MOMENT*
So while we’re waiting, let’s play Memory Games. Remember Twilight! YEAH I DO. I love Twilight and read all the books and stuff

And that, for my beloved Princess Buttercup’s golden birthday, is how you ride a roller coaster. “This guy’s going on a roller coaster.”
Now that you’ve all been adequately terrified, let’s go to the pics and shut up for a bit.
And, thank you all for coming. I’ll have another EP and then some other fun stuff by Christmas.
(Yeah, then you’ll die… it’s a long story)
See you all in a bit,

P.S. If you’re curious about how this story has unfolded, the one below shows the first time Waffle ever made an appearance.
Then the second time. And now a 3rd time…

Throughout writing the GSA SL AU, what has been your favorite part(s) of it to flesh out? Also, what drew you to Izanami as a character, what made you want to expand on them to write your AU? I think I've seen you talk about why in passing, though Bad Memory makes it to remember so sorry if you have explained that before.
I was going through my analysis tag and called myself so smart and maybe I am glad for my dramatic writing to make lore sound so pish poshy . also it's okay !!! if you don't remember . if the social anxiety I am a multilingual mess of a chatterbox who will say the same thing over and over again like a broken record but maybe multiple copies of the same record just warped differently . does that make sense. my english teachers have told me I need to work on my summary writing and I don't think I improved <3 anywho cracks knuckles. also happy 1.3k words
gsaslau........ my favorite was.... everything. the world building, the lore, the characters, mental flowcharts and concept maps. canon divergency has always been my favorite, paired with the fact I love analysing shit in the first place. I took one look at this idiot and saw all the pitiful overlooked potential hiding in their dumb oil scented uniform and tried to rip it out and put it in centrifuges and stretching it out as far as possible. people think I'm out of dough but I'm a little menace with a squirrel living inside my brain who just adds more dough. I will get a Thought and sit in a discord chat and monopolize it while literally everyone else is asleep because of the concept of timezones and I type for three hours and pass out; for an afternoon nap or the fact it became 3am.
iznmi is just sooooooo. barren. an absolute blank slate but also they're not. they're unpolished and deliberately dirtied. maybe theyre so empty and I have to take them to literal puddles and make sure every drop of whatever makes them at least half full in a sense. they're the puddle and I dug out a lake with a toy shovel. under all those layers I know there's nothing. but there's also something. there's a corpse. an actual person. an answer. a question. a migraine that would torment me for a week maybe.
a tiny tiny bit of context, before entering uh. here. the p4 community or if im ever actually considered to be part of it, I came from a humble little community where everyone was friends (ninokuni). I did my fair share of analysis and canon divergency and expressed my fear for bigger communities for mainstream media. so when i got here I decided to stay in this hole. this ditch. quarry mine. reminiscent of patrick star's house. I thought it'd be the same but NO. I fight tooth and nail in my own house and welcome people selectively like I'm a rabid animal sniffing people left and right. anyway
ummmm twirls hair swings legs. gsaslau origin story patreon special. i was obsessed with the dumb voiced npc at the start of the game the jp dub made him sound so fruity and my dad and sister and I joked around how he was a vampire for shits and kept making absurd headcanons throughout playing. the fact they showed up only on rainy days only made them more sketchy. in fact I could've casually liked this moron without the whole 'I'm god actually' bullshit going on.
I watched visualive! it was the end for me. no literally my brain was hardwired so badly I knew from that point on i would never be a normal p4 fan ever. adachis chair car adventure. THE END OF IT ALL.
D'OH I was obsessed. why was adachis clown ass acting like this. he's never like this. why has this been the only guy shown to piss him off ever. DONT get me started with th attendant I was sitting there 'NO WAYYY NO FUCKING WAYYYYYYY SO THIS GUY IS SIGNIFICANT IN ONE (1) OFFICIAL MEDIA.?' i was spiraling
I finished the game and that did Not help my conscience. I entered the fandom at that point and had my darkest days. but I learned a lot from it and I'm grateful for that
I was nitpicking EVERYTHING. I was asking so much questions and I had so much fun answering them. then coming back a year later with so much more answers, or maybe debunk my own views with something more enlightening I had to write my revelations while brushing my teeth after a shower. interpreting was great connecting dots were thrilling. the "what if" questions went too far and started. this (gsaslau) WHICH technically started when I watched vl and it hit me full force once I actually started thinking about it.
to me there was just. so much to do with the god and their humansona you don't understand. the fact they're intertwined with lore so much you had to check every nook and cranny and go mad while at it? then again that was a win win for me since I was basically picking at media analysis too.
I was there.... brute forcing translation as a non native. cracking into the game trying to find SOMETHING. I was buying books i couldn't read for One (1) page of trivia in a small little box with less than a paragraph. I went through spinoffs games and novels and drama cds and stageplays and art books and magazines and interviews and livestreams and blog posts and tweets. I was learning so much as time went by and i had so many new pieces I could tinker with and create completely new machinations I would adore.
I drew art comics wrote fic and analysis and wiki articles I edited pictures videos gifs modded games cracked into them for assets 3d models dialogue secret textures events I manufactured my own merch for pete's sake I gaslit so many people with fake screenshots and convincing formats and i wish i could do that again
okay kinda segued there I'll try and go back. my favorite to flesh out was... world building? dealing with the butterfly affect and figuring out the consequences in this and seeing how the story change would make me so excited. maybe souji wouldn't want to kill namatame on the spot and his vision would stay foggy because he can't accept the truth that some of the people he's friends with are those who started this citywide crisis. maybe adachi does care about people and realizes his feelings and decides to abandon his fake life he started for the sake of his loved ones so they wouldn't get hurt again. maybe namatame was a bit happier after the trauma of someone leaving him and more mentally stable and took care of nanako well that he's earned her trust and does his best not to break that loyalty ever. making parallels like marie and mim being one and the same and so different at the same time. MAYBE god develops humanity within themself after being so convinced they couldn't and has conflicting morals between their duty and their wants as their own person. exploring the possible relationships are also high up there like souji and namatame being friends or nanako scaring a gas station attendant twice her size. adachi and mim's friendship is a given.
iznmi canon or not, they just have....so so much potential and the fact they're lore itself doesn't help. and I think it's fucking hilarious you can finish the game knowing NOTHING about them. at all. what if there was more to this silly npc who only appears during a rainy weather flag..... vl sparked too many ideas. what if god had a bit more screentime in that personality that we could see their thought process some more while they observe the protagonist's journey throughout the entire game. the realization they hey, maybe humans' Shadows won't kill them one day. maybe they'll have the strength to stop denying themselves and accept them to achieve a greater power.
okay maybe this is enough rambling or i show you my two years worth of discord messages and scattered google docs . thank you for asking. hugs and kisses . and remember: gas staion atednat

A Spell That Reminds Me of Your Name by Chimneycricket - 42k words, wizards!au, enemies to friends to lovers and the development felt natural, well-written plus the author sometimes makes art of their fics and other jikook fics and posts on twitter, both their fics and art are so good, i’ve heard good stuff about their other fics too :)
that’s it for now!
just a quick one about my preferences: idc about tops/bottoms, i read just about anything but i prefer fantasy and multi-chaptered fics, i love established relationship jikook so hmu with recs anytime, i don’t like reading anything with cheating and mcd, i love fics where jk and jm are just so friggin in love they are just IT for eo, and at the end of the day even if there are elements to the fics i wouldn’t normally read, as long as they’re well-written then i’m all for it

Best Of Me | One
Tumblr media
Pairings : →ot7 x reader, poly!BTS x reader
Genre : → vampireau, yandere!au, age gap, gore, obsessive behavior, ddlg/caregiver, poly, fantasy, supernaturals
summary : It’s quite unusual to find a little baby on your doorstep, especially that their area was not of the poorest - you could say that a vampire town was efficient with money and snobby creatures. However over time the first idea of just giving back the little girl seems more and more radical and those moody vampires slowly start perceiving deeper feelings to human they even wanted to kill.
notes ~
So im not really as happy as i wanted to be with this chapter, but its the first one that i needed to translate. Suprisingly Its easier for me to write the whole thing myslef than translating it from my native language. + Remember to leave something and im happy to say that we can start an ask game with the characters from my books
next
Surprisingly this day was awfully ugly for such a beautiful season. Heavy rain was falling on the ground creating the big sheets of wall with those millions droplets that practically covered the whole view outside of the freshly cleaned window.
Tired sigh pierced the quiet, as for the household members, house only causing the weird tension to increase that was there from the early morning. Dark hair of the boy moved with him, now facing the cold, wet window.
Hyung…” Groaned the boy crashing on the couch closing the eyes in the process a little frustrated. Walking just next to him, a little taller man with bright yellow hair, looked at the dark haired one with a tired stare.
“I don’t have time Jungkook, go torture Yoongi or something.” A snort came out of the older one after the not so innocent proposition, as he kept carrying the big basket full of clothes.
And again he was alone. The youngest of the brothers, being the one who never knew what to do with his free time, wandering in the halls and every couch he could spot in their cosy house. His dark chocolate hair falling on his face, a little too long for his liking, but he was too lazy to actually do something with them.
Again that not happy groan left his lips, and wriggling similar to a child that did not get a toy he wanted, in the end forcing him to sit on the couch with a big pout. It was not normal in this household, the whole quiet and calm act, especially considering the residents he shared the home with.
They are more similar to animals than gentelems that appreciate a quiet time. So the weird atmosphere was definitely an unsettling thing for the youngest.
Again looking at the dark view outside the window, he tried to see the cause of all of this. Completely as if something was meant to happen, like the quiet before the storm.
And let me tell you, Jungkooks 6th sense never fails. Just as he thought that maybe just maybe this time he was wrong, a ring echoed in the whole household.
“Someone is gonna open it?!” He shouted being too irritated to even do it himself, despite being the closest to the doors.
Of course, nobody answered. So angry he was at this moment he got up from a nice cozy couch and with heavy steps he came to the big chunk of the wood.
He opened the door not that gently, mumbling an annoyed “what?”
So how irritated he got when he saw nothing, a void, the same doorstep and gate that stood there everyday, now with a big wall of rain to spice up the view. He looked around, now a little confused, while thinking that maybe someone was in the mood for jokes. But how stupid the idea of that was when he remebered, that for his hundreds years of living in this world the first time that actually someone managed to make fun of him was today.
And oh god he started to get so pissed.
So imagine how shocked he was when just before he closed the door he heard a really unusual sound coming from his feets. Unhappy sobs rang in the quiet afternoon immediately attracting his attention.
The young vampire was more than shocked, looking at the child in the pille of pastel colored blankets. Small sobs now increased in a big crocodile's tears with disturbing sounds of the kids crying.
“”No, no, no, please be quiet, we don’t want to wake up the old, ugly, moody grandpa. do we?” He panicked, whispering the words to the child that now laid in his arms. He just prayed that the actual old vampire really didn't take up because of the cries.
As the kid started to calm down, he stared at it with an unreadable emotion. It was a weird feeling, holding the delicate creature in his arm, knowing that just one wrong move, and the child would never cry again.
So what was that feeling that stirred down his stomach as the little creature grabbed his finger with a big open mouth. The sick emotion only made him panic even more, while looking back inside the house.
He decidied,. Sneaking was nothing new for his ninja move, and he strongly believed in his skills of not getting caught with a surprise in his arms. In the end the spiderman socks were a good choice, as their soft material made nearly no sound on the floor.
His stress level went higher with each step that brought him closer to the room that he knew he could not miss. The sound of a knife and cutting rung in his ears is similar to the music in horror music he likes to watch, now making him understand a feeling of pure fear.
Eyes closed while praying that the blonde man won’t turn around catching him in his act. But how wrong he was to believe in such a miracle. Nothing and absolutely gets past Kim Seokjin.
“Jeon Jungkook…” He died, completely freezing in place. Not opening his eyes he waited thinking that maybe it was just his head messing with him, and the blonde boy never actually turned to him. “What have you done again. If I need to clean the mess once again from the ketchup, I'm not going to…”
And as Jungkook thought that nothing can go worse, the little chil laughed a happy giggle while making the grabby hands for his bracelet.
“Jungkook?...What exactly are you holding?” The question like a knife cutted the heavy atmosphere in half. The silence just after that louder than everything he has heard before. He was even sure that he felt his nonexisting heart stopping. “Did you fucking steall a child?! I can’t be…”
“No! It’s not like that I swear I found it on our doorstep.”
“Do you really think think I am that stupid? How even the child could just appear there hm? Rolled there or better flyed on its plush unicorn?”
“Hyung, please you are going to wake up others.” He didn’t even hesitate to beg, looking at the blonde with such terrified eyes. The child in his arms happily munching on his bracelet completely unaware of the tension.
“Why would I care about others! You brought a child Jungkook, how can i be calm!?”
Dark haired unconsciously looked around with gritted teeth, now just waiting for the rest to appear. And he did not need to wait long, as just after he looked back at the blonde, someone came from the other side of the kitchen door.
Tall man with peachy hair and raspy voice, trying to get rid of the rest of his sleep, now scratching his head with confused expressions. Who wouldn’t be confused in this place, seeing a literal child in a house full of old vampires.
“What is this mess all about? You know what hour it is?” Said the tallest one. Blondie one only snorted as if offended while crossing his arms. “What?”
“Nothing.” Oldest mumbled irritated. The tallest only raised his brow, and repeated the question once again. Jungkook being now forgotten with the child trying to catch his attention with little sounds. “You dare to remind me of the hour?! Do you know how many nights I didn’t sleep because of you! If I just could silence you for good, you would have long ago ended like the voldemort, yes i'm talking about that nose of yours”
The taller one immediately touched his nose gasping not believing in what he just heard, now trying to silently disappear from the harash stare of his older brother.
As the peach hired one hid behind a counter, the attention now came back to the snaking Jungkook. More pairs of footsteps rang in the quietness of the home, slowly showing other people.
“Jin-hyung is angry again? What happened I want to see.” Announced the newcomer, sliding on his perfectly white socks.
“Who is angry here?! You want to see how angry I can be you...you…”
“You silly goose?”
“No that's to lame.”
“Dipshit?”
“You dipshit! Thank you Namjoon.” He finished with a red face. The newcomer only rolled his eyes, while making the shortest of the brothers that came with him laugh.
“Since everyone is here…” The tallest started.
“Wait, where is Yoongi.” Asked the red haired one, while leaning on the counter with a mysteriously made coffee.
“Here.” All of them shouted, hearing the sudden voice, and seeing the new person that appeared with a lightning of thunder. “So what’s this mess about?”
Everyone in the room simultaneously looked at the dark haired boy that immediately stopped in his tracks hoping for some power that could help him disappear. All the eyes slowly drifted down his arms, now staring at a bundle of blankets that started to move as if it knew of the attention.
“What is that?” Asked the tallest looking straight at the irritated blonde.
“Don’t ask me, I’m not the one that gives such a stupid example, making those idiots steal children.”
The kitchen is now again quiet, all the eyes on the little creature in the arms of the youngest. Only sound now being the child starting to sob again, making everyone tense.
“Shut it up you morons.” Said second oldest, annoyed at the loud cries. The blonde didn’t waste time, knowing how bad noise is for the black haired. Small body now shuddering because of the sobbing making the oldest coo at the little child.
His arms soon hold the bundle of blanket, trying to calm the kid down with his baby voice. It wasn’t hard to get lost in its eyes, them being mysterious and full of innocence, drawing up the blonde one. His big hand now on its red cheek, trying to feel the texture of the soft skin under his fingers.
And as the cries never happened, the child started giggling again trying to grab Seokjin hands with such a beautiful smile. It was a really soft sight to see making them all calm and giddy inside. But as the child opened its mouth Seokjin's smiles disappeared.
“What the matter?” Asked Namjoon a little bit taken aback by the change of his hyungs mood. The oldest only looked back at the rest of them with a terrified expression.
“It's a human.”

Slice of Folklore: An Asian Historical Folklore AU
 by Tamadango
Tumblr media
Oh god....Okay so this is an AU based on Chinese Folklore.
Reigen is a Daoshi Priest. This is a real sect of Taoism. But within the context of folklore, these Daoshi are more like Mages. They travel from village to village, doing exorcisms, performing rituals, removing curses, treating illnesses, presiding over ceremonies like funerals and also reanimating the dead so they can be walked to where they need to be buried.
Ekubo is a Jiangshi. More on this later.
Tumblr media
That idiot villager…. said this route was a safe and easy hike
This is taking way longer than I expected. The other route would have been much faster
As he’s walking through a cave, the path underneath his feet collapses and he falls into a lower level of the cave.
(In chinese folklore, humans live on the surface and monsters/the dead/ spirits reside underground. Caves are sort of a limbo area inhabited by monsters, that average people avoid. 
Tumblr media
The path collapses underneath his feet, and he falls. -Screaming- Holy shit! 
He falls and grunts in pain before looking up.
Tumblr media
Directly in front of him, is a Jiangshi.
SAFE MY ASS!!
(Jiangshi are monsters from chinese folklore. They are corpses reanimated by blood spells. Lower level Jiangshi are just straight up zombies. Higher level ones are spirits sealed into dead bodies so they have some kind of will/consciousness like Ekubo here. They are reanimated by Daoshi priests and are obligated to serve them.
By default, Jiangshi are servant monsters, they ALWAYS have a master. Since they are dead/decaying bodies, they feed on the lifeforce of living people, ie blood. They can be powered up with blood, sealed with blood seals, sustained/controlled with blood. etc.  
It’s sort of the mix between a zombie_ (undead, with poisonous bite)_, a vampire (needs blood), and a summoned demon (serves a master.) in western fiction.)
Tumblr media
Reigen reaches around for his bag as the Jiangshi hops towards him. “Dammit all my tools are in my bag.” 
(Tools specifically associated with being a Daoshi priest, like exorcism stuff, ritual daggers…spell tags…etc)
Tumblr media
WHOA!
Tumblr media
The creature is lunges at him, snapping. -teeth snapping sounds-
Reigen: ....? What an odd blood seal. Is it possible that this Jiangshi is acting under the control of this spell?
Tumblr media
I have to remove it somehow! 
Tumblr media
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
bottom panel -murmuring-
Tumblr media
Ekubo: Hnnnnnngg
I’m finally free… Thanks to you
(So technically, he serves Reigen now. Jiangshi are servant monsters by their nature.)
Tumblr media
Reigen: Ahhh the J…..J…. Jiangshi…. It talks! (Low level Jiangshi can’t talk... only the spirit sealed ones can.)
Ekubo: What kind of terrible outfit is this?
Tumblr media
Ekubo: Huh? Don’t put me in the same category as those low class monsters.
Ekubo leans over: ....hmmmm
Tumblr media
Sniff Sniff
You’re a Daoshi Priest from the Salt group aren’t you?
Eh?
Tumblr media
Ekubo: and you’re a virgin….good! good!
Reigen: What business is that of yours?
Ekubo: Haha…What’s your name?
Reigen: Reigen.... Reigen arataka 
(Daoshi Priesthood requires celibacy, virginity, veganism, no alcohol and vow of poverty, along with a lot of other things like prayer, literacy in religious languages, etc.) 
Tumblr media
My name is Ekubo. I am an high level creature of darkness!
(In Chinese folklore, Humans reside on the surface and monsters, demons, spirits, reside underground, and are collectively referred as such.)
You’re going to help me find the asshole who kept me sealed for the past couple hundred years so I can take my revenge. 
Tumblr media
Reigen: No, I’ll pass. I need to get to the next town, see ya (he says this very fast while walking away)
Ekubo: What?! Hey Wait! There’s lots of gold and treasure in the crypt below. I was guarding it. It’s yours if you help me out.
Reigen’s ears twitch.
(Daoshi Priests are required to take a vow of poverty so he’s not supposed to be interested in riches or accumulating wealth.
Jiangshi are servant monsters by their nature, and must have a master at all times. Which is why Ekubo tries to convince Reigen to go with him. Because If Reigen just left, he would have no choice but to follow.)
Tumblr media
They’re looking at a sarcophagus covered in spell seals in the chamber below.
Reigen: Is that the owner of the crypt buried here? Doesn’t look wealthy to me.
Ekubo: Im sure all the good stuff is in the coffin
(In ancient china, as in most ancient cultures, it’s typical to dress the corpse lavishly and fill the coffin with jewelry, money and valuables, so the dead person can be wealthy in the afterlife)
Tumblr media
Reigen: Hey, All these coffins in the back here are empty… that’s really strange
-Click-
Tumblr media
Ekubo: No… those aren’t normal coffins… these… they’re sacrifices! 
Reigen! It’s dangerous, Get Back!
Tumblr media
Reigen: Wait… why are you running?!? Weren’t you looking for this guy so you can take revenge?
Tumblr media
Ekubo: Hey I thought he sealed me here to guard the crypt, I didn’t realize I was intended as a snack for later.
Reigen: What?!? Does that mean those coffins are empty because it already ate them? So there’s no actual treasure?
Ekubo: Is THAT what you’re worried about right now? Can you stop being a greedy bastard for a bit so we can get out of here? 
(Again, as a priest, he would have taken a vow of poverty and isn’t supposed to be interested in riches.)
Tumblr media
Ekubo: Reigen what are you doing? You cant beat him! That monster is powered up from eating countless other creatures of darkness.
Reigen: Yeah that’s exactly why he needs to be stopped
Tumblr media
Reigen: Ridding the world of monsters and exorcising evil is my calling!
Tumblr media
Reigen: And you, since you haven’t been eaten yet, help me out
Ekubo: Tch! I want to, but this body is way too weak to go up against a monster like that.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Get down! 
Tumblr media
Ekubo: You don’t look it, but you’re actually pretty powerful. Shame it’s not enough to defeat him. Impressive nonetheless.
Tumblr media
Reigen: We don’t have time for small talk! Think of something useful! Get us out of this mess!
Ekubo: Alright alright, calm down. You can leave it to me. 
Tumblr media
Ekubo: huh! very nice flavor.
The blood from the tongue of a virgin plus my (some kind of power class that is ancient but also protective) 
(I really tried to translate this part but I don’t get the exact words he’s saying. The gist is that he gets a powerup by combining their powers. That’s it.) 
Tumblr media
Ekubo: I should be able to break through the protective barrier that he’s using to shield himself. 
Tumblr media
**Ekubo: Bring it! I’ll show you my true strength. **
Tumblr media
Reigen: Can’t move… Cant feel my body at all….Looks like the poison is taking effect…. Makes sense… the bite of a Jiangshi
(Jiangshi feed on lifeforce/blood, so their bites can drain a person of their lifeforce temporarily.)
Can’t feel my tongue at all. It’s completely numb
Dont lose you bastard
I’m so tired…… 
Tumblr media
Reigen: Ekubo?
Ekubo: Farewell...
Tumblr media
Ah!
-tongue hurts - Thinks: so it wasn’t a dream 
Tumblr media
**He starts sobbing. **
Tumblr media
**Ekubo: You alright? **
Tumblr media
Reigen: It’s a talking fart!
Ekubo: Hey! It’s me! Ekubo!
Why are you crying? You miss me? 
(More advanced Jiangshi are spirits sealed into dead bodies so they can be freed if their bodies are destroyed )
Tumblr media
Reigen: Idiot! I’m trying to get the taste of corpse out of my mouth! You’ve been dead for hundreds of years!
Ekubo: Why are you so angry? Was that your first kiss?
Reigen: Shut up! Don’t you have some underground crypt to return to? What are you loitering out here for?
Ekubo: Just doing my guard duty.
Reigen: Why are you following me?
Ekubo: Why can’t I follow you? I just saved your ass, you could be a little more grateful you know.
(So earlier, Reigen removes the seal that was controlling Ekubo, and he then serves Reigen by default. After his body is destroyed, he’s free to move on. The implication here is that he’s chosen not to, and has decided to follow Reigen around instead.)

UGHHHH. I was not going to translate this. But @gemmawritessometimes prodded me into it. There was so much goddamn folklore shit to explain. 
Also this comic has a lot of terms you ONLY see in folklore and rarely anywhere else. Goddammit. 
Yeah, anyway, enjoy this comic.
