For the writing practice: Trevor/Alucard (not ot3/ot4). A kiss in public maybe? A pub? A town's square? 👀 And both don't give a fuck about people watching and whispering, and maybe even getting angry. (Not a request, but damn, those two would destroy any fool that would want to fight)
Here you go! (I conveniently remembered I had an ongoing Castlevania drabble collection so I threw this one in as well)
(Also, it’s OT3 with Sypha included but if you’re into Trevor and Alucard getting rowdy in public I have this whole longer fic about it 🤲 )

Alastember - day 5 - songfic
Instead of a traditional songfic, I decided to write about Alastair singing. This one is a little shorter than the others but while I'm putting this in my drafts I can already promise day 8 will be a long one, and most others will also be longer than this. However, I cannot write a 3000 word fic every day for a month. If anyone had any magic that could give me that kind of time, I am interested.
The song Alastair sings is Until it Sleeps by Metallica. Alastair was a Metallica fan in the original Lost in the Shadows, and I think this song kind of suits him. The lyrics are angsty and open to interpretation. I'd recommend listening to the song while reading this, don't worry, it's not one of Metallica's heavier songs and if you're not into metal I think this one can still be enjoyable.

‘Question,’ Alastair said when Matthew was finished. ‘How are you not embarrassed?’
Matthew made an annoyed sound. ‘It’s karaoke. It’s supposed to be fun, not good.’
Thomas had invited him along with the Merry Thieves, Lucie and Cordelia for a karaoke night. It wasn’t something they did often, as Alastair understood, which was for the best because Matthew’s singing voice was something like a screeching cat and Alastair didn’t think he could spend all night listening to this. He was already looking for an escape route when Matthew pressed the microphone into his hand.
‘Your turn if you’re so good at it.’
Alastair rolled his eyes. ‘Fine, whatever.’
He chose a song he had always felt suited him in lyrics. In vocal range it was a little on the low side, but Alastair had a big range and he’d practiced a lot.
He started out soft, matching the first part of the song. It was something he liked in music, the build up from small and soft in the beginning to much louder and more dramatic in the end. He noticed Thomas’ stare, jaw hanging open in absolute surprise, and Alastair smiled as he continued to sing.
Most days, he avoided people and preferred to be by himself but in moments like these he loved the attention, the surprised reaction on all their faces except Cordelia’s. He’d started playing the piano and singing again about a year ago, and he liked how much he’d improved with practice. Cordelia had been urging him to perform, and so far he’d refused, but maybe he should.
He increased the volume at the end of the song while still maintaining his technique.
‘I don’t want, want it, want it, want it, want it, want it, no,’ he sang.
So tear me open, but beware
There’s things inside without a care
And the dirt still stains me
So wash me, 'till I'm clean
I'll tear me open, make you gone
No longer will you hurt anyone
And the fear still shapes me
So hold me, until it sleeps
Until it sleeps
Alastair finished with a smile and put down the microphone.
