I didn't know you love asks about monster Nik, and now I'm wondering about your giant dog monster Nik and if you could tell me anything and everything about him. XD If you want, no pressure. <3

In general, I hc Vampire!Nik to be at least 150 years old. Old enough to be a threat, but still young enough that even he still struggles with his vampiric side.

That being said, I DO think that Nik's monster form only really manifests when he's lost control of himself. In general, Nik typically has a rather tight leash on his emotions, but he's not perfect and even he's prone to outbursts when he's pushed to the brink.

he's not a mindless rapid animal, and he does retain some of his cognitive abilities when he's fully transformed BUT it's limited and he's more prone to succumbing to his more,,,primal emotions.

I like to hc that his gigantic ba form is blind! His sense of smell is absolutely insane tho, and he could probably hunt someone (coughjohnpricecough) from miles away purely off of their scent.

BIG. I described him in a previous ask, but Nik as a gigantic bat is seriously an absolute unit of a beast. can easily wipe out a base by himself if he's pissed

Can purr because I said so and is LOUD about it

Unlike Nik in his 'normal' form, this form prefers to eat meat. And no I'm not referring to animals 🤭 (cut to Gaz looking vaguely sick as he watches him devour three men whole LMAO)

Nik can't exactly "flip" between forms easily as it takes a lot of energy to return to either form. In addition, he usually transforms due to a high emotional state, so it's easier for him to calm himself down enough by curling up in a large dark area, curling up in a big ball, and taking a nap. This is usually when Price moves his desk to where Nik is so he can do paperwork.

Cannot speak in this form. Makes a lot of noises that reminds Price of an overgrown dog minus the barking.

CAN FLY, BUT CANNOT KEEP HIMSELF IN THE AIR FOR LONG PERIODS OF TIME.

SHY HI I tried to send you an ask before but I think tumblr nuked it but in case it didn't just ignore this one

I was saying that I think Price would enjoy being inside a big monster!Nik's arms .... making him feel so safe and protected .... including during sex :3c Just something about Monster!Nik making him feel so small and completely taking control away from him while Price also completely trusts him .... delicious.

(Also I'm still not over the huge mane on Nik's big bat form, so so good)

(and also the idea of Vampire Nik having a much greater strength but still managing to be gentle with Price is murdering me)

Tumblr must have nuked it because I never saw it 😭😭😭

Honestly, I think about Monster!NIk so much because as big as he is as a human he is absolutely gigantic as a creature. I like to think that his bat form is at least 9ft, which doesn't even begin to add up how much space he takes with his mane and muscles. He's a big, hulking monster with venomous fangs and can gut a man faster than it'll take you yawn, but he is SUCH a gentle giant when it comes to man and his team.

Given the,,height difference between them I don't think they'd be fully capable of having sex but they can still DO things and I think that Price is more than comfortable being worshipped by a gigantic bat from hell. bottom monster!nik IS an idea tho

Most of all, I think Nik and Price are rather domestic when Nik does transform and needs help calming down. Honestly, Nik is akin to a gigantic bat once he's calmed down enough and Price lowkey loves it when Nik settles down and purrs loud enough to give him a headache.

If Price spends his morning brushing tangles and burrs out of his mane instead of doing reports then who's really gonna say otherwise (esp when Nik is right behind him WISHING you would say something negative).

Nik is an absolute powerhouse when he transforms, BUT he's more than 200 years old and is more than used to knowing his own strength.

Been watching too many vampire movies lately, and I couldn't stop myself from thinking about a vampire!nikolai au 🫣🦇

Listen, as much as I love yearner Nikolai, I am obsessed with the idea of Nik who's so used to flings and hookups that he couldn't possibly conceive *actually* reciprocating someone's romantic advances towards him and Price has resigned him to the fact that while yes Nik is attracted to really anything under the sun, he just isn't attracted to *Price* in particular.

One of my favourite cultural differences about travelling around Europe particularly is the unspoken rules about eye contact.

As a British (read: anglo-centric) person, you're not meant to look directly at someone unless having a conversation and even then you're meant to break it up a bit. Riding the tube is an exercise in polite avoidance. But when I first visited Slavic states, oh my fucking god... Direct, intense eye contact for prolonged periods of time, or just gazing directly at you for indiscernible reasons.

Imagine Lieutenant Price having to manage with Nikolai's intense and unrelenting stare when they're working together. It triggers every one of his repressed British sensibilities. He tries everything to manage it in a socially acceptable way. The tight-lipped non-smile and the jut of the chin, sometimes with added eyebrow raise, the throat clear with sniff and arse shuffle, the pretend to find interest in something else nearby, the busy himself with checking and rechecking his equipment. Nothing works. Nik doesn't take the hint.

Nik, who is an excellent people reader and extremely worldly even in his very early thirties, figures out the issue within seconds but persists because watching the sweet, handsome British lieutenant with all his gruff machismo squirm like the inexperienced young man he actually is for once is truly delightful.

need more nikprice in my life but like tender nikprice angsty nikprice desperate nikprice maybe even a little insecure jealous nikprice there's just not enough

[shyravenns]

And before anyone asks, YES little bitty bat nikolai likes to bury himself in Price's cleavage

[shyravenns]

Me, ignoring canon designs because I really dgaf and giving Nikolai a curls makes me purr real loud

I was listening to "Before You Leave Me" by Alex Warren, thought about your divorced Nikprice and choked up at the cable machine. 😭

I just listened to this, and I’m thinking about this song from Nikolai’s perspective because Price being the one to ask for a divorce fucking HURTS. For all the jokes and the performative behavior, there’s not doubt to anyone that Nikolai lovessss that man and would bring the world to its knees for him. Everyone save for Price apparently 😭

Mary and Arthur are the embodiment of "You came?" "You called" and I'm so here for it

plus the way she makes a 36 years old seasoned killer, a nervous mess who draws hearts on his little journal? iconic

Nikolai likes sparring with John, it's no secret. Everyone assumes it's for the view, John sweaty, muscles tensed and snarling like a wild beast. While that certainly doesn't put Nikolai off, in fact it gets him off but that's a later problem.

To Nikolai there's something inherently erotic about a man who can fight back, someone who can do damage to him just as easily as Nik can injure them.

He's a big man, he's strong and the people that tend to crave his attention the most are people with a smaller build who need a big man to take care of them.

John doesn't. John could break his nose just as quickly as Nikolai could fracture the wrist of the hand he's using. He doesn't need Nikolai, he wants him. They could tear eachother apart like wild animals and drives Nikolai fucking wild.

He likes it when they spar. Walking away with bruises from hits that he genuinely couldn't block, getting pinned and struggling to get out from under John, it's foreplay to him.
