#death was alucard’s babysitter

[the-vivicast]

You ever be so deep into a fandom that doesn’t have a lot of lore or new entries that you start literally just making shit up and drawing conclusions from the thinnest possible basis?

"How about giving back my STUFF FIRST, YOU COOT-"

[descendant-of-evil]

My Disney Descendants OC:

Her face claim is Elizabeth Olsen:

OC's Outfit and Sword:

Information about my OC:

°Full Name: Lilith Ombretta Cheronobog

°Aliases: Lily, Etta, Little Darkling, The Sinner's Bane, Umbra Insulae (the shadow of the island), Vindex (punisher), Diabolique, Discordia...

°Gender: Female

°Sexual Orientation: Bisexual

°Species: Demon/Demigod hybrid

°Age: ???? (demons age differently so technically she's ancient but she physically looks 21)

°Status: Immortal

°Alignment: Chaotic Neutral (leaning towards evil)

°Hair Colour: black as her soul (sometimes dyed as dark blue ombre)

°Eye Colour: chartreuse (but when she uses magic it turns an eerie yellow)

°Complexion: deathly pale

°Personality: Lilith is a chaotic pessimist made out of sarcasm. She's so very unapologetic with what she says and she uses dark humour as a coping mechanism. She gets aggressive around some villains (like Gaston and Frollo) but turns docile around some of the villainesses (cough... Maleficent... cough... Helga Sinclair). But besides that she's surprisingly very helpful (but only when it suits her😏)...

°Family: Chernabog (father, estranged, dead), Eris (mother, estranged, alive)...

°Love Partnership Interest: ☠️ (Flirt and flounce but when they want to settle down... bounce...)

°Friends Allies: The Core Four, The Sea Three, (sighs) Yen Sid, The Anti-Heroes Club, Dizzy Tremaine, Hadie, Hades, Dr. Facilier, Celia Facilier, Freddy Facilier, Diego DeVil, Harriet Hook, CJ Hook...

°Enemies: Most of the adults on the Isle, King Beast, Queen Leah, basically all the Vk haters...

°Hobbies: Beating the shit out of the sinners of the Isle (mostly Gaston and Frollo...), Protecting the younger Vks from their abusive parents, Annoying Yen Sid, Hanging out at Dragon Hall (because you're never too cool for school), Flirting with the MILFs of the Isle 😏...

°Occupations: Substitute Teacher (at Dragon Hall), Babysitter (for younger Vks), Manager (at the Bargain Castle shop)

°Pet: a fruit bat (named Alucard🦇)

°Powers & Abilities: Umbrakinesis, Chaos Magic, Dark Magic, Demon Summoning, Bloodbending, Flying (with wings or when she turns into a swarm of bats), Shape Shifting, Allspeak, Super Strength, Fast Reflexes, Heightened Senses, Super Intelligence...

°How she ended up on the Isle: Well... she volunteered to go with Yen Sid to the Isle, so that they could teach the children of the Isle how to live without magic (and to also make sure that the villains don't tear him apart)...

°How her life was before the Isle: Lilith grew up isolated, in a cave at the Bald Mountain, so she immediately left for adventure when she was old enough to take care of herself. She travelled many realms and had many romances and misadventures, meeting strange people along the way... one of them was Yen Sid.

They didn't get along at first but eventually they became frenemies of sorts (more like civilised enemies) that engage in friendly banter whilst fighting each other (kinda like the Merlin and Mim dynamic). They only became true friends when Lilith helped Yen Sid and Mickey Mouse defeat Chernabog in an epic final battle on Bald Mountain. After the battle, Chernabog's remains was buried beneath the Island that would later be known as "The Isle of the Lost"...

"Death is inevitable, suffering is optional..."

[arikad0]

I know it was never stated that Death was Alucard's babysitter but Death was Alucard's babysitter

[vamp8291]

playdate with death (lol)

[skiplo-wave]

@disparatepeace

“ I hope Castle isn’t to badly damage.”

“ Um you left Alucard in charge? I’m sure he tidy the place up.”

“ Exactly. I like my chaotic organization!”

“ Sure, typical Belmont hoarders. We are Not raising our baby girl to be like that! Isn’t that right little Starla~”

The baby girl giggled with her tummy being poked. Starla “ Adrian” Belnades-Belmont was just now turning one years old. Her blue eyes with a hint a green were so bright and filled with curiosity. She was mix of both her mother and father. Had Trevor eyes and Sypha hair. It was hard to tell now but Starla always shifting acting like her mother and sometimes like her father. Either way she’s going to do a kickass job in this cruel world around her.

“ Oh bloody hell. Signs?! Really!?”

“ Well that’s one way to keep neighbors out.”

Sypha giggled as Trevor stopped the wagon. The main entrance of the castle was filled with derbi. Keep out, monster inside, enter and you die.

“ I knew I should’ve threw his ass I. The wagon.”

“ Oh stop it Treffy! You’re acting like Alucard gone mad....which he totally didn’t...you go in first!”

Trevor rolled his eyes which made Starla giggle and wave her hands around. “ What happen to women and Childern-AH!” Trevor rubbbed his bottom feeling slight burn. Sypha wink at him blowing smoke off her finger.

“ Starla don’t be like mommy. She’s crazy.”

“ And Starla don’t be like daddy. He’s an idiot!”

Starla stuck her thumb in her mouth not paying mind to her odd yet loving parents. The three entered the castle and nothing out the ordinary. No sight of blood stains or smell of death. Any if not most of holes in walls been patched up.

“ Hehe we should surprise-“

“ HEY YOU VAMPIRE ASSHOLE WERE HOME AND YOU BETTER NOT BROKEN ANY OF MY THINGS!”

“ Trevor!”

“ What?”

“ Was I too loud for the baby? Daddy is sorry star angel.”

“ You’re too loud for anybody, Belmont.”

The two turned around seeing the half man half vampire himself. He looked...tired. “ Alucard!” Sypha handed Trevor Starla so she can give her friend a big hug. Alucard hug her back as if he never had human contact before. “ Nice see you too Sypha. Glad to know Trevor hasn’t made you insane.” The blind man chuckle and Sypha gave a fake sigh leading on him. “ It’s been so hard Alucard~ I try train him on his manners but he gets worst and worst!” The two laughed and Trevor grunted which amuses Starla.

“ Well I didn’t miss you. Fuckibg asshole..”

“ Oh he totally did.”

“ Oh yeah?”

“ Sypha how you think that blonde bastard is doing without us? Sypha think we should send that fancy ass a drunk letter? And that wasn’t even WHEN he was drunk!”

Trevor turn his back against them they wouldn’t see him blushing. He missed Alucard. Of course he did but he’s got reputation you know. “ Well I missed you both. So you’re gonna introduce me to the little one now?” Alucard said kissing back of Trevor’s neck making Belmont turn into even brighter shade of pink.

“ Alucard meet Starla Adrian Belnades-Belmont the first!”

“ The first?”

“ It makes it much more special! Are little starlight is one of kind after all~ Arent you?”

Starla giggled yet again at her tummy being poked. Alucard was lost of words. The baby was beautiful but the even gave her his name. “ Oh dobt make that face. You’re part of family too you know. Now do you want to hold your goddaughter?” Alucard blink, and looked at Starla.

“ G-God daughter? Wouldn’t that- You really want me be her godfather?”

“ Yes you silly bat! Like Trevor said you’re part of family too...we’ve only got each other now. Besides we think you make a great babysitter.”

Alucard started laughing and finally took Starla into his arms. She was so light...so full of life and wonder. “ H-hello little Starla. Little star shine. I’m Alucard.” Starla looked at Alucard and lightly tugged his long blonde hair and smiled. “ A-Card?” The three gasped hearing the small girl.

“ Starlight! Y-You’re first word!?”

“ Star angel you’re suppose say daddy or mommy...what the hell...”

“ I-....thank you starshine. Yes my name is A-card.”

“ A-card! A-card!”

Starla was so happy she was clapping her hands. It brought Alucard to tears. “ T-thank you. Trevor, Sypha,,,,I-I really needed this,,,” Alucard didn’t stop crying. He was pulled into a group hug by his partners, his family.

“ It’s okay. “

“ We’re finally home now. Our home.”

“ I know. And I’m glad to you all again.”

TOP 25 FICS OF 2018

1. A Cornstalk Fiddle by @notbecauseofvictories | Devil Went Down To Georgia | The Devil/Johnny | 17k

Where Johnny goes, the Devil follows; where Johnny goes, the Devil is already there.

Heather Says: So. I never thought that my favorite fic of the entire year would be a fic written about a song - and one that I don’t even particularly like - but here I am. I read this fic the same night that I finally broke down and watched Moonlight, and ended up listening to Moonlight’s End Credits and Hello Stranger by Barbara Lewis on repeat while I finished that first chapter on my back porch. This is that perfectly atmospheric fic that you’ll find maybe once every ten years and could probably sustain you on its memory for just as long.

2. Work of All Saints by @kaikamahine | Coco | Imelda/Hector/Ernesto | 210k

Imelda Rivera (b. 1899 - d. 1969), a story that includes but is not limited to: the finest music school this side of the Santo Domingo, three traveling musicians and the mess they made of love, the twice-cursed assassination of Venustiano Carranza, all the patron saints, and ninety-six ways a man can try to cross a bridge.

Heather Says: This story blew my entire mind. It was lovely, and tragic, and hilarious, and everything that a good novel should be. The parts of this fic that map out the unseen lives of Imelda, Hector, and Ernesto, that hidden backstory that a movie can only hint about, were exquisite to the point that I was afraid getting to the point where, well, they die, would be a letdown. It really wasn’t. If anything, the story managed to get richer as it went along, until suddenly you’re in a room sobbing into a pillow at four in the morning and have to be awake in four hours. No regrets.

3. Under the Covers by @toast-ranger-to-a-stranger | Stranger Things | Billy/Steve | 87k

Steve is (maybe) a little bit still in love with Nancy Wheeler and (maybe) trying to figure himself out-- between the night terrors and the babysitting and the general weirdness that is Hawkins, Indiana-- before he graduates.

Billy Hargrove fits in there somewhere (probably).

Heather Says: Under the Covers was the first Harringrove fic that actually kicked me over the edge from ‘eh this ship looks like it would have good hate sex’ and into full-fledged believer. It’s an intricately crafted look into the world of Billy Hargrove and Steve Harrington post-season two and it is absolutely glorious.

4. Bloody Ruin by esama | Castlevania | Alucard/Trevor | 37k

Vampire hunter and a vampire try to get along.

Heather Says: Written before season two came out, this was one of those fics that I clicked on because the pairing interested me and I wanted to see how it worked. It did not disappoint, and even after I delved through the tag on ao3 after I marathoned season two, this is still my favorite.

5. a road less traveled and a life less led by Azzandra | Dishonored | Billie & The Outsider | 9k

She took him out of the Void, as promised. And then she kept him, she supposed.

Heather Says: You know all that fanart that started cropping up after Death of the Outsider came out? The ones where Billie and the Outsider crept around Dunwall or Karnaca stealing fish and safes and graffiti-ing buildings? The ones with that found family vibe? Yeah. This fic scratches the same itch that all that art did.

6. But I’m Not There Yet by sarahyyy | Yuri On Ice | Yuri/Otabek | 71k

“Are you not going to read the article?” she asks, flopping onto his bed. “Look who ranked second, just after Phichit Chulanont.”

Otabek reluctantly scrolls down, and oh. #2 - Yuri Plisetsky

In the embedded Instagram photo just under that subheading, a very grumpy Yuri is cuddling a very grumpy-looking cat. The caption reads: I found the cat version of me at the shelter today. #iknowisaidnomorecats #canyoublameme

Heather Says: And here, in the stupid cute category we have teenagers navigating love through social media. What’s more, there’s a companion fic.

7. flowers start to bloom in every different hue by orphan-account | Coraline | Coraline/Wybourn | 1k

Coraline grows up, gets a tattoo, and falls in love. In that order.

Heather Says: I read this fic on a slow day at work, often in quick bursts while I was waiting for the kitchen to finish my table’s food. It’s short. It’s sweet. It’s perfect. And honestly? It’s everything that I was looking for when I ventured into the Coraline tag on ao3 because I was curious.

8. Victory Conditions by @astolat | Transformers | Megatron/Optimus Prime | 37k

“Do you want me to tell you a story?” Megatron said mockingly. “You won’t like it, Prime. It’s not a very nice one.”

Heather Says: Fun fact, I’m not even in this fandom. I haven’t touched the Transformers fandom since the first movie came out in 2007 and I spent a very confusing week shipping a boy and his car. But Astolat has literally never lead me wrong, and I was having one of those bored days where nothing quite itches the right spot, so I sat down on the couch and spent two hours reading this. Worth it.

  9. just in it for the game by grim_lupine | Thor | Thor/Loki | 6k

“It's excellent rehabilitation for my image,” Loki says, widening his eyes. “They love you, and because of that they'll trust me. You wouldn't ruin this for me, would you?”

Thor glares at him.

Loki’s mouth twitches. “Also, it's the funniest thing that's ever happened to me.”

Heather Says: The Thor/Loki bug never really bit me until after Ragnorak came out. I mean, sure, I read it and it was good, but hella’s Frostiron fics basically destroyed me for any other Loki pairing. HOWEVER. Ragnorak happened and screwed that all the way up. Also, you know, this fic is absolutely lovely and was just what the doctor ordered.

10. so this guy walks into a bar by MasterOfAllImagination | Pacific Rim | Newt/Hermann | 2.5k

“Bourbon,” Hermann says, hooking his cane on the edge of the bar and sliding by degrees onto a stool.

“Straight up?” the bartender asks.

“Please.” Does he look like the kind of man who enjoys having his nostrils fumigated by undiluted whiskey? “On the rocks.”

Heather Says: I coped with Pacific Rim 2 by reading a couple AUs and a couple very, very long fics full of tragedy and math. Weirdly, the AU of a chance meeting in a bar was the one that stuck.

11. cherry pie by @brawlite & @toast-ranger-to-a-stranger | Stranger Things | Billy/Steve | 133k

Billy Hargrove lives for summer. Endless sunshine, heavily chlorinated pools, roaming ice cream trucks, and unencumbered freedom? There’s nothing better.

Even being stuck in Hawkins can’t ruin the summer for him. He eats it up, devouring every day whole.

Heather Says: Yeah, okay, but this is the fic that made summer worth it. Highly recommend reading at the pool or with your feet hanging off the back porch. Every piece of this fic was dripping in summertime nostalgia. It was fan-freaking-tastic.

12. the ghost and the good queen val by Wildehack (tyleet) | Thor | Thor/Valkyrie/Loki | 27k

“What,” she says, her heart racing, “was that.”

“What was what?” Korg asks, frowning up at her. “You look like you’ve seen a ghost.”

Valkyrie squints suspiciously at the ship.

“Oh my god,” Korg says. “You did! You saw a ghost!”

Heather Says: So, remember how I coped with Pacific Rim 2 with copious AUs? This is how I coped with Infinity War.

13. For Better or Worse by DragonBandit  | The Bright Sessions | Mark/Damien | 22k

All Damien ever wanted was someone who wanted him. All Damien deserves is to die alone, stripped bare of any of the comforts or affections of humanity, a title he willingly shed.

Mark Bryant seems to be the Universe's compromise.

Wherein Damien and Mark are soulmates, and this changes enough.

Heather Says: I think I’ve read this one three or four time this year? It’s 22k of well-written fic for a fandom that has a max of like 100 fics all with lengths that tend to vary between a couple hundred words to 2 or 3k, max. This fic is the one that really catapulted me into the fandom. 

14. in waves by @lymricks | Stranger Things | Billy/Steve | 38k

It’s March and it’s too cold for Billy to be shirtless and wearing shorts, but he hadn’t noticed until Harrington appeared and made him hold still. Harrington can’t seem to stop looking at the bruises. “What’s it to you if I miss a little school, Harrington?” Billy asks. He feels goosebumps rising on his skin.

“I don’t know,” Harrington snaps back, looking uncomfortable. He shifts his weight from one foot to the other. Plant your feet, Billy wants to scream at him. I’m going to bowl you over.

Heather Says: And here we have the first fic that wasn’t written by either @toast-ranger-to-a-stranger or @brawlite that made me realize that this fandom was gonna be a good one. So fantastic.

15. the cure by aquaexplicit | The Flash | Cisco/Harry | 43k

“I guess I don’t really get what you need to fix? Harrison Wells is a hot, rich genius that pays you to make cool stuff with his daughter and is totally into you. If you guys boning is the biggest problem you have, I think this officially qualifies as your best relationship ever.”

When Barry puts it like that, everything sounds so simple and not at all as angst ridden as Cisco has been suffering the past few months.

Cisco hangs up on him.

Heather Says: I remember a couple years ago, I fell absolutely head over heels for this one Sterek fic where Derek had twin toddlers and Stiles was the hired babysitter. So I think there’s something about dad + babysitter fics that get me, even if this one in particular the ‘baby’ in question is a fifteen year old genius. Still. Dad + babysitter. I don’t even know, but apparently it works for me.

16. pull out the insides by SpineAndSpite | The Bright Sessions | Mark/Damien | 3k

“Stop,” Damien says again, more insistent this time.

“I’m not doing it on purpose.” Mark's heart pounds in his ears and he sees Damien’s hands shaking. God. They shouldn’t have started talking about sex. Shouldn’t have filled in the colors and shadows to this pencil outline of a sketch forming between them. They shouldn’t have given it a name.

Heather Says: This year seems to have had a theme when it comes to fics that I’ve liked and it seems to boil down to: people who are bad for each other have sex and catch feelings. Mark/Damien is not the healthiest ship. But it also hurts in this stupidly tragic way and hell if I didn’t fall head over heels for it.

17. tell me, get my shit together by paperclipbitch | Star Wars | Han/Lando | 5k

“I thought we were actively avoiding each other after the Trandosha Shitshow,” Han says.

“We’re actively avoiding each other after the Iridonia Shitshow,” Lando corrects him, “the Trandosha Shitshow is That Which We Do Not Speak Of.”

Heather Says: So, guess what I did in the two to three hours after seeing Solo? If you guessed: ‘combed through ao3 until you ran out of fic’ ding ding ding, you are 100% correct. This one was very, very good, which makes sense, because paperclipbitch has some good shit.

18. chases, escapes, true love, miracles by pepperfield | The Flash | Cisco/Harry 55k

Just because the timeline has been restored, doesn't mean things are back to normal. Cisco's got 99 problems, and Harry Wells is approximately 38 of them.

In which Cisco makes a bunch of plans, fails most of them, narrowly avoids being disintegrated, receives a hug or two, finds his groove, and gets his man. More or less in that order.

Heather Says: This one was long and wibbly wobbly, because it was basically what season 3 should have been. But it was also really great, and had some super quality Harrisco interactions.

19. Your Pretty Little Heart by Ever-so-reylo | Star Wars | Reylo | 64k

Modern day AU in which Ben is an Alpha, Rey is an Omega, and they are way better at having sex than at communicating with each other.

Heather Says: Speaking of people who are probably a little bit bad for each other... This particular fic was new to me, not because of the um, extensive sexual content, but because I’m usually not a fan of A/B/O. But this one was extremely good, enough that I actually liked it for a/b/o aspect rather than in spite of it.

20. Draconia by perceived_nobility | The Bright Sessions | Mark/Damien | 4k

"So I was driving. One ex wife and one ex husband later, stopping at the same fucking gas stations you and I stopped at."

Heather Says: This fic actually prompted a 3 hour long conversation on the ‘adult’ Mark/Damien discord where we basically outlined an entire fic that I never got around to writing where Damien is raising a child, has a farm, and runs into Mark ten years down the ride. One day, I might write it, because vaguely domestic, meet-again-ten-years-down-the-road fics always bowl me right the fuck over and just. There needs to be more fic like this one in the world. But until then, the world can marvel at the beauty that is this one.

21. Artifice by buttpatrol | Wolf 359 | Hera/Eiffel | 23k

A story told in parts about colour palettes, identity, robot uprisings, sensational trials, space, and messy love.

Heather Says: As I’ve recently finished relistening to Wolf 359 I have a fresh appreciation for this fic, which is one of the only longer fics on ao3 that just grips you by the heart and squeezes the same way that the series does. It might have been written before the end of the series, but it’s honestly just as perfect.

22. (shoot the lights out, hide) till its bright out by lipgallagher | Stranger Things | Billy/Steve | 93k

The most dangerous thing walking around Hawkins goes by the name Billy Hargrove.

And he fucking knows it.

Heather Says: I’m kind of cheating here, because this is a series rather than a single fic, but I’m not picking just one part. I read the first four or so parts of this fic when I was visiting my family in South Carolina and spent the next few days wandering around the place half-in Steve Harrington’s headspace. It was an incredibly surreal experience, which lead to a pretty strong combination of mania, depression, and an indescribable craving for ice cream. So like, maybe don’t read this fic if you’re in a bad head space? But also it’s very good and features one of the most fucked up and intriguing Steve’s that I’ve seen yet.

23. Until My Feet Bleed and My Heart Aches by Reiya | Yuri On Ice | Yuuri/Viktor | 197k

‘…Of all the rivalries in the world of sports over the years, perhaps none has become so legendary as that of Russian figure skater Viktor Nikiforov and his rival, Japanese Yuuri Katsuki…’

Heather Says: I actually read this one on the plane ride down to South Carolina, and kind of didn’t like it at first? I’m not sure if it was just the act of putting Yuuri and Victor into the position of rivals that made me uncomfortable or the goddamn delays that turned half a day of travelling into a full one, but eventually I was able to get into and enjoyed it quite a bit. I really like the rivals to lovers trope, so I’d been looking forward to this one a lot.

24. Traveling Far by @astolat | Game of Thrones | Jaime/Brienne | 24k

Three weeks into their delightful slog across Westeros, during yet another charming day of shitting in the woods, eating half-raw squirrel, and trudging his feet bloody, the single most dour and uninteresting woman Jaime had ever met in all of Westeros stopped in the middle of a field, drew a deep breath, and said, “When I was seven, my aunt came to visit with her son. My father told me that as the daughter of the house, it was my duty to show hospitality to my guests and to be gracious to them. I wanted to make him proud. So for three weeks, I let my cousin follow me around and talk to me about spiders.”

Heather Says: I’ve become very fond of astolat’s Jaime/Brienne fics, and I think this one is my favorite yet. Featuring Starks, found family, and a whole lot of walking.

25. lilies of the valley (cover me with kisses, make my garden grow) by diasterisms | Star Wars | Reylo | 8k

Every girl is entitled to the mistake. That one colossal fuck-up that permanently alters the terrain of who you are. You'll either learn from it or you won't, so might as well have the time of your life.

Heather Says: I just. I really like flower shop AUs, and the idea of a Kylo Ren who owns a sleek flower shop being menaced by a tiny gremlin in a leather jacket just. Kills me. It was really sweet and all kinds of wonderful.

SLEEPING BEAUTY (TRELUCARD)

                                              LITTLE BY LITTLE

TREVOR

The honor had not mattered to him for years, and basically, he no longer had parents or superiors to please. The only task he carried on his shoulders was to keep the name of his line alive by defending the innocent and doing his best to try to win the battle against the immortal monarch.

However, there he was, wondering more and more frequently, what his parents would do if they saw him now, a complete disaster in his story, his way of showing how he cared about  something or someone, but, above all, his feelings. Would they be proud of the last vestige of the contradictorily honorable Belmont clan fighting literally with a fist and sword for the humanity that carried a heart made a catastrophe? Great work, Trevor! Great fucking job.

If only the crystal clear water of the river in which he bathed at that moment could erase his feelings as easily as bloodstains and grime. He was not ashamed of who he loved, but the effects of feeling that way. Trevor was not used to feeling vulnerable, let alone at the mercy of someone. He was master of his words, actions, impulses and feelings. But, once again, there he was, sighing over that person's lips and his body protected by his arms. Yours and those of no one else.

A sudden flash of gold suddenly interrupted his thoughts, and Belmont had to use all his strength to keep his interminable indifferent mask intact.

There he was.

The man he loved.

The enemy.

A fucking vampire.

Alucard was practically no longer his opponent since he decided to join them to defeat his father, but it took about three months, countless arguments and several death battles against the infernal army to get accustomed to his presence. Getting used, but not trusting.

He had been wandering for almost all of Wallachia for eight months along with the floating vampire Jesus and the Speaker. He kept looking for the exact moment when he took the step of tolerating him to cherish him and to cherish to loving him. Not even using the memories with his parents served to know if they, at some point, advised him on romantic matters or told him their story. And though Belmont knew that his parents loved each other, he had no idea what to do with his recent feelings.

If only  everything was as easy as skinning Dracula's beasts.

Alucard paused for a moment to realize his presence. The vampire sighed, irritated, and Trevor snorted with annoyance as his companion stripped off his clothes. The hunter took his eyes off just in time before Tepes caught him staring at him. He simply entered the water little by little and began to carve his body without looking at Belmont. One look would have been his death sentence.

- What, are you coming to baptize?

- Human or not, I have needs, Belmont. Besides, leave the religious jokes aside already, they aren't funny anymore.

- And you stop acting like a smart guy. First you correct my movements when fighting and now my sense of humor. You waste time correcting me. It doesn't suit you.

- Recovering your manners would not be a waste, if they ever taught you some. And who knows? Maybe it would save your neck.

- I do not need a babysitter.

- Well, stop acting like a baby.

Enough was enough. The hunter, no matter how immature the gesture seemed (he had no modesty since his first duel when he brazenly beat his testicles anyway), threw water directly at the vampire, who closed his eyes tightly and snarled before returning the attack. Curses, more snorts and splashes followed for a long time until both opponents got tired. One last poisoned look ended the childish dispute and then proceeded to carve their bodies without saying anything at all.

But when one did not look ... the other would record the other's body in his mind.

Trevor admired the long, blond hair of the vampire and paid special attention to his fine hands and graceful movements. Alucard, for his part, memorized the wide back, the intense blue eyes and the tension of the muscles when moving. There was only one common denominator in their meticulous study: they both wondered about the history of their scars. Curiosity overcame pride, and curiously, Belmont was the first to break the silence.

- Where did you get that wound  from your torso?

- I already told you and Sypha from the beginning. It was my father.

- Do not make me angry once more. I do not want to fight now and I'm trying to be friendly at least once.

-Alright, I get it, I'm sorry. He responded with annoyance. It was not the question that made him angry, but the answer. The memories were always more painful than the moment when he had ended with that baggage. - The day my mother was killed ... Father lost control. Rage, impotence and a great melancholy: that was the blindfold in his eyes. I wanted to persuade him to find the murderer and stay at peace with it. Cry his loss and move on. But he was so intent on the ideal that there were no more innocents without her, no matter how much he knew what she did for them and how much she loved them. I fought him. And all I got was this. He murmured, running his fingers along the deep diagonal line, thoughtful, totally oblivious to Trevor's desire to caress that wound himself. - And you? How did you get that?- He asked, pointing to his right cheek.

- My first hunting. Several years ago, I was barely a child. My father was convinced that it was time to take me hunting. Of course I did not leave him alone until he allowed me to do it before.- Alucard smiled slightly, softened by the image of a pure and innocent Trevor, eager to fight a beast as if it were a game. - We started before the sun came out, my father, my two older brothers and me. All day long, we wandered through the forest, I was listening to my father giving instructions to me every time, emphasizing that I should not lower my guard and being a victim of my brothers' pranks. Damn sons of bitches.- This time, the vampire could not help but chuckle and be slightly stonished to see Trevor's nostalgic smile. - We found nothing during the day, and just as we were on the way home, a small horde of harpies appeared. First they attacked Sebastian, my older brother, and when I tried to defend him, a harpy cut me and almost killed me. Had it not been for my father and Andrew, I would not have come back alive. Mother went crazy, Sebastian spent a month in bed because of a broken leg and father yelled at me the whole night. But from there on, I joined them and the training continued until I became what I am.

Anecdotes led to the first trivial and friendly conversation. That was enough. That talk would be the passage to more intimate secrets, secret fears and even, private jokes.

- Tell me, did the nap worked, sleeping beauty?- The hunter asked with a mischievous smile and a playful tone. Alucard laughed.

- Don't mock. It was difficult to find the correct position in a stone coffin for a year.- He joked, earning a laugh from Belmont.- Besides, it's a shame, you know?

- What?

- My prince charming did not wake me with a kiss.

Silence. And the water running. Alucard hid the blush on his cheeks with his hair, and Trevor begged that his heartbeat whould not pierce his chest. Belmont smiled like never before, though Tepes could not see him because of the embarrassment that kept him from looking him in the eye.

- Yeah, what a shame.

Trust was gained little by little and at a slow pace, just like baby steps. But there was a common feeling that equated its slowness and relevance: love.

PSA: my characters’ ships/sexuality

Because I’m just tired of the piles of anon asks, and some anon hate I have been getting about why some asks don’t get replied to.

I love to RP! But as an Ace myself, I am not always, if ever, in the mood for Shippy RP stuff.

Under certain circumstances, however, I can ship muses.

Supernatural:

Dean: Castiel, and that’s when I choose to play him. He not a favorite, because it’s like literally RPing my own older brother. Dean is a top.

Sam: yes, I will wincest at times. But not if it’s all’dean suddenly has feelings’ if it’s wincest, they probably had feelings for years, but never voiced it until after their dad passed. Sam prefers to ship with Gabriel, or Ruby. Sam is a switch.

Castiel: just Dean. And like Dean, I rarely play him even though I adore this unicorn goof. Bottoms for Dean.

Baby the impala: he’s a literal child in a twenty something body. Just. No. Platonic is fine, he’s related directly to angels. Orientation: no.

Hazbin:

Alastor: under some circumstances will ship with Angel dust. Otherwise? No.

Orientation: Picky Ace.

Marvel:

Bucky: is bisexual canonically he has been with Natasha. I love stucky too. I will, under the right circumstances, ship with an OC, but he prefers men, unless your muse it as tough and amazing asNatasha. (Sorry folks, Bucky likes his partners tough enough to manage in combat without a babysitter. Mewling ukes and spoiled princesses need not apply) nat: switch Steve: power bottom other muses: ask!

Cloak of levitation: it’s a sentient clothing item. That’s just weird, yo. No sex, only cuddles!

Artemis Tepes: depending on timeline, he’s a child. As an adult? He’s a picky little shit, but likes a slow build up to a relationship, something scripted and discussed via messages beforehand, or platonic. Orientation: ASK!

Non affiliated:

Pennywise: he’s picky as fuck, and I hardly play him. Begone thots! No clown sex for you!

Death mime Dream: he’s a baby pennywise. You’re gross for suggesting that! Nope. No sex here, move along.

Caliber: multi fandom skills and use, but he likes romance, and he’s a 12 foot tall monster-ish guy. If you’re human, sex with him would kill you. Just. No. Yuck. Yeahhh, no sex here.

Eddie: not the one with venom. He’s a special needs nephilhim child for supernatural, but an adult technomancer for marvel. Please specify age with this guy. The kid is a no-no. Orientation: if adult, Ask!

Astaroth: multi fandom demon god. Any relationships will be complex and long lasting with him. As this is Eddie’s parent, expect him to be involved at times as well. Orientation: will bottom for a Sam, or certain archangel males. Does NOT bottom for females, or anything else.

Fred and ginger: hellhounds, no human forms, I don’t do that kinda crap.

Alucard: castlevania. He’s canonically bisexual, and would rather not in most cases. Mostly he needs a hug. Platonic, paternal, sibling cuteness, and if he’s in a relationship, he tops, and he’s picky.

Dracula: various fandoms, and picky. Castlevania version only ships to Lisa, his wife. I don’t play a hellsing anime type, but van hellsing, yes. Again, picky. Also bram stoker version, but he likes Mina. Ask first, please.

Also of note: I do NOT do A/B/O, m-preg, anything sexual with underage muses, and if You’re not sure about what a muse I have would want? There’s a message option to ask.

I do have other muses, but these are the ones most asked about/for.
