do you have any vampire Derek fics that you could recommend?

Blood Like Wine by Dexterous_Sinistrous

“The bite can be,” Boyd paused, choosing his words carefully. “The bite can have a euphoric feeling to it, for humans,” he finally explained to Allison. “But it’s rare, and not often an easy thing to create.” “You have to create the feeling?” Allison asked. Boyd looked to Derek. “You formed a bond with him, didn’t you?” Derek hesitated, knowing Boyd’s stance on the issue. He silently nodded. “You know that’s forbidden with humans,” Boyd pressed. “If the Elder knew— Derek, you’re risking everything for a human.” He observed his friend. “You hate humans.” “He’s different,” Derek softly argued, refusing to look at Boyd. ~*~ Or, the one were Derek is a Higher Vampire, a recluse in human society, until he meets Stiles—a young man with a mysterious past who shows no fear of Derek or his kind.

Welcome to Fright Night by wulfarchival (wyrmwolf)

Derek hooked an arm around Stiles’s waist, pulling him bodily close before pressing a sharp kiss to his lips. It made Scott want to vomit. Glancing at the door frame, Scott felt his stomach squirm when he saw sharp etchings in the wood like from an animal with claws. That was the other problem with their new neighbor. Derek Hale was a vampire.

All Nightmare, No Dream by Dexterous_Sinistrous

“Derek,” a soft, terrified voice called out. “My sweet … Derek—” a sharp sob stifled his words. “What have you done?” The voice pulled Derek’s mind back to reality. Derek looked down at the owner, his stomach churning as all his horrors were realized. Stiles lay on the cold, filthy mud of the dock, his clothes stained with the blood gushing from his neck.

Totentanz by DarkAthena (seraphim_grace)

Stiles is an animator, working mostly freelance he's also a licensed vampire hunter for the state of California. He knew his day was bad when he got the phone call about a terrible murder and a vampire, except he knows the vampire didn't do it, but he still has to negotiate the Master of the City and other hunters who think that the Master is covering for them. It doesn't make his argument any better when they know he's bonded to the vampire Derek Hale, but it's not like he had a choice in the matter. An Anita Blake Fusion where Stiles is an animator, Scott is still a werewolf, Derek's a vampire and Peter's in charge

HERE ME THE HECK OUT OKAY-

1. After Scott finds out that Jimmy is/did fuse with other gems, he decides to be petty and refuse to fuse with him anymore (which barely lasted), but this lead him to be able to fuse with Pearl and Cleo. Out of sheer pettiness.

2. Owen and Scott were the first human/gem fusion to happen and it was to stop the Bad Boys gems from doing something extremely stupid.

3. Martyn and Ren fuse in secret, but when other members of their unit began go get suspicious Ren gaslights them (because he's a higher rank) and they mysteriously dispear after a "talk with Martyn"

4. When Scar/Spinel goes evil, they do so because they feel as if they're being forgot as newer gems come around. Him and Grian were the first "defector", and want that bond to be something special. (kinda like Scott's story but instead of just refusing to fuse Scar gives in to his negative emotions)

5. Pearlescentmoon/pearl was meant to be Scott's pearl but they were separated before they actually met, and they find it weird how they get along so well.

6. Impulse and Mumbo will be the first to engage with human life, before immediately trying to kill it. That human being X. He'll get over it tho

Symbiotes Unleashed: The Evolution and Impact of Marvel's Alien Parasites

Introduction

Marvel Comics has long been celebrated for its rich universe filled with complex characters and fantastical elements. Among these, symbiotes stand out as one of the most captivating and feared creations. These alien parasites, originating from the planet Klyntar, have bonded with multiple hosts over the years, creating some of the most iconic and dangerous figures in comic book history. From the legendary Venom to the chaotic Carnage and beyond, symbiotes have left a lasting mark on the Marvel Universe.

Origins of the Symbiotes

The concept of symbiotes was introduced in The Amazing Spider-Man #252 (1984) during the "Secret Wars" storyline. Spider-Man, needing a new costume, discovered a black, living substance that morphed into his suit. This mysterious material was later revealed as an alien life form that enhanced its host's abilities while also exerting a corruptive influence.

The symbiote species, Klyntar, hail from a distant planet. Initially peaceful and seeking to bond with worthy hosts to create heroic warriors, their purpose became twisted over time. Rogue symbiotes emerged, leading to the creation of some of Marvel's most fearsome villains.

Venom: The Original and Most Famous Symbiote

Venom remains the most famous symbiote in Marvel Comics. After Spider-Man rejected the symbiote upon discovering its corruptive nature, it bonded with Eddie Brock, a disgraced journalist with a grudge against Peter Parker. This fusion gave birth to Venom, a powerful anti-hero known for his monstrous appearance, superhuman abilities, and complex moral code.

Venom's abilities include enhanced strength, shape-shifting, and a unique immunity to Spider-Man's spider-sense. His popularity led to solo series and adaptations in various media, including movies where Tom Hardy portrayed the character.

Carnage: Chaos Incarnate

Carnage emerged as an even more dangerous offspring of Venom. When the Venom symbiote spawned, it bonded with Cletus Kasady, a deranged serial killer. Unlike Eddie Brock, Kasady fully embraced the symbiote's violent tendencies, leading to the creation of Carnage.

Carnage's defining traits include his blood-red appearance, psychopathic nature, and the ability to manipulate his form into deadly weapons. His most notable storyline, Maximum Carnage, depicted a reign of terror across New York City, forcing Spider-Man and Venom to join forces against him.

Other Symbiotes in the Marvel Universe

Beyond Venom and Carnage, numerous symbiotes have emerged, each with unique abilities and characteristics:

Toxin: Spawned from Carnage, bonded with Patrick Mulligan, a more heroic figure.

Scream: A female symbiote bonded with Donna Diego, marked by her yellow tendrils and tragic backstory.

Anti-Venom: Eddie Brock bonded with a new symbiote that could neutralize other symbiotes.

Riot, Agony, Lasher, and Phage: Often referred to as the "Life Foundation Symbiotes," they were created for military use and displayed diverse powers.

Scorn: Bonded with Tanis Nieves, capable of integrating cybernetic elements.

Hybrid: A combination of multiple Life Foundation symbiotes bonded with Scott Washington.

Sleeper: A symbiote offspring of Venom with stealth abilities.

The King in Black and the Symbiote Mythology

The mythology of symbiotes expanded significantly with the introduction of Knull, the "God of the Symbiotes." Knull created the symbiote race as weapons of darkness and sought to reclaim control over his creations in the King in Black storyline. Knull is an ancient cosmic being who predates the universe itself, wielding the All-Black, the first symbiote weapon. He used his dark power to conquer worlds and create the symbiotes as extensions of his will. When his control waned, the symbiotes rebelled, forming the peaceful Klyntar collective. However, Knull returned, seeking to reassert his dominion, leading to a massive conflict with Earth's heroes, including Venom and Thor.

Impact on Marvel Comics and Popularity

Symbiotes have had a profound impact on Marvel storytelling. They have evolved from simple antagonists to complex entities with moral ambiguity and cosmic significance. The popularity of Venom alone has led to multiple spin-off series, video games, and film adaptations.

The symbiotes' visual design, with their monstrous features and fluid forms, has captivated fans for decades. They also explore themes of identity, addiction, and redemption, making them deeply compelling characters beyond their monstrous appearances.

Conclusion

Symbiotes in Marvel Comics represent more than just alien parasites; they are symbols of inner struggles, power, and redemption. From Venom's anti-hero journey to Carnage's embodiment of pure chaos, they have carved a permanent place in comic book lore. As Marvel continues to expand the symbiote mythos, their impact on storytelling and popular culture remains as powerful as ever.

The Guardian calls All Of Us Strangers “mysterious, beautiful and sentimental” and “a fantasy-supernatural romance about loneliness and love”. And by all accounts, tissues will be required by film’s end...'

The Dragon's Hoard | Indiana Jones

Pairing: Indiana Jones/Original Female Character

Warnings: Graphic Violence, Mature Themes, Fantasy Elements

Word Count: 1,021

A flitting shadow, dark as midnight, rose to meet Indiana Jones' keen sight, and he gasped in surprise - so did his companions Willie Scott and Short Round. Suddenly, a massive, scaly talon, sharp as a butcher's cleaver, clamped down with earth-shaking force at the very lip of the smoldering pit, where rivers of molten lava bubbled and hissed.

Soon, a head the size of a small car emerged from the shadows, a nightmarish fusion of reptile and bat, with leathery skin pulled tight over a skull that seemed almost human in its cruel intelligence. Two baleful, glowing red eyes, like the coals of a dying fire, glared out at the humans, who all screamed "No!" in terror.

The shaman, a wizened old man with a face like a gnarled tree stump, approached the abomination, chanting in a guttural, inhuman tongue. The beast turned its hideous head, sensing the humans' presence, and a guttural, earth-shaking growl curled around the air, like the rumbling of an oncoming train. Indiana Jones swallowed hard, his mouth suddenly dry as a bone. "W-what is that thing?" he stammered, his voice barely above a whisper.

The beast growled and bared its jagged teeth at the shaman, who whispered and left with his lackeys and the cult members who worshipped the god of death, Kali. The creature rose fully out of the lava, its black scales shimmering, red sails swishing atop its head. Its unblinking red eyes fixed Indiana Jones with a piercing glare. "You are not welcome here, Dr. Jones," it growled, its forked tongue slithering out to taste the air. "I…I'm sorry, mistress," Indiana stammered. The beast snorted. "Sure you are. You're here for the stones, are you not? My eggs?" It then thumped its tail around the humans, curling them up. "Well, you may get them, but they will never hatch in this flea-infested place anyway. Now leave, before I decide to have you for dinner!"

Indiana and his friends were trapped, but they knew they had to find a way to escape the beast's lair and retrieve the mysterious stones before the cult could use them for their dark purposes. The creature's warning only made them more determined to uncover the truth behind the ancient artifact and stop the evil forces at work. With his trademark wit and resourcefulness, Indiana would have to outwit both the Nazis and this fearsome reptilian guardian to save the day once again.

~~

As Indiana Jones and his companions fled with the three stones in their bag, I sighed and curled my tongue around the horn on my snout. Finally, I thought to myself. Now I can kill that insidious shaman and his followers who have been pestering me for decades. I turned to face the statue of the nasty god, and then let out a blood-curdling scream as fire tore out of my throat, engulfing the wasteland in a red haze, melting it.

I looked up and laughed, my tail cracking down like a whip, and a hiss escaped my lips as the shaman came running out, screaming, "No, no, no, Kali, no!" I hissed and, without really thinking about it, snapped my jaws shut on his head, devouring him alive. The taste of his terror was exquisite, and I savored every morsel of his screams as I consumed him.

As I crawled out of my hole and followed the scent of Indiana Jones and his companions, I emerged into sunlight that my scales hadn't felt in over a thousand years. "Oh god," whispered a feminine voice, and I snapped my head around, rearing up onto my back legs, teeth bared menacingly.

"No, no, don't hurt her!" stammered Indiana, approaching with his hands raised, the bag of my precious eggs still clutched in his grip. The little kid was there too, and I fixed him with my glowing red eyes. "I see you haven't moved far. Don't you get what you wanted? No—" I stopped short when I saw the shaman's warriors rushing down the hill towards us, and I roared, rising to my full height and spreading my massive, ebony wings.

Without thinking, I unleashed a torrent of searing flame from my cavernous maw, the inferno raging towards the approaching cult members. Their anguished screams pierced the air as they were consumed by the relentless blaze, their flesh melting from their bones. The stench of charred meat hung heavy in the atmosphere, mingling with the acrid stench of smoke.

I turned my attention back to Indiana Jones and his companions, a low, rumbling growl emanating from deep within my chest. The woman cowered in fear, her eyes wide with terror, while the boy stood his ground, his young face set in a mask of determination. Indiana, to his credit, held his ground, meeting my gaze unflinchingly.

"Listen to me," he said, his voice surprisingly steady. "We don't want any trouble. We just want to return these eggs to their rightful place." He held up the bag, and I could feel the faint stirrings of life within. A sense of protectiveness washed over me, and I let out a huff of air, the flames in my throat dying down.

I regarded them for a long moment, weighing my options. These humans had proven themselves to be resourceful and brave, and they had shown respect for my eggs. With a reluctant nod, I gestured with my head towards the path leading deeper into the valley, a clear invitation for them to continue on their way.

Indiana nodded in understanding, and with a final glance back at me, he led his companions down the path, the bag of eggs clutched tightly in his hand. I watched them go, a sense of relief washing over me. My eggs were safe, and the meddlesome cult had been dealt with. With a contented rumble, I turned and made my way back to my lair, ready to settle in for a well-deserved rest.

Last Monday of the Week 2023-01-09

Back at it again at the [DATA EXPUNGED]

Listening: Vienna Teng, who I encountered in a fancam for industrial society set to Landsailor someone posted on here. Here it is:

Landsailor is good, Hymn to Breaking Strain vibes but from a more civilian perspective, it also has some great names for shit, my favourite being "lawbreaker" for heat pumps. Absolutely incredible.

Reading: Halfway through Fugitive Telemetry, I forgot I had it after I finished Network Effect and anyway, Network Effect was good but kinda too long to spend with Murderbot, the short story format definitely fits it better. I do like how it opens with a Murder(bot) Mystery.

Watching: Watched Scott Pilgrim vs. The World for the first time. It's fun to watch something that is so very of its time. A lot like Clerks in that I watched it way later but I can imagine that had my friends and I seen it back in high school we'd all have been insufferably quoting it at each other the way we did Pirates of the Caribbean. Being vegan just makes you better than other people.

The material is. Fine, I knew it was a Manic Pixie Dreamgirl-focussed movie but I had somehow not realized it had the whole evil exes thing. The parts are greater than the whole.

Making: Marathon cooking session for my dad's birthday, preparing a large set of meals with the added bonus of not having electricity for two hours in the middle of the day. Turned out fine. Ovens are great for preparing large quantities of food quickly, you can do a lot of prep up front and the oven is pretty predictable.

Playing: Started but have not finished An Airport for Aliens Currently Run By Dogs, a comedy fetch quest game by Xalavier Nelson Jr. et al, which is about maintaining your long distance relationship with your fiance while being the last two humans in the universe by meeting up in various airports (for aliens (currently run by dogs)).

The basic game loop is that you have A Place you need to get to to meet your fiance or a specific dog, and you can do that by getting a ticket and finding your way to the appropriate terminal. But the airport is entirely written in a made up substitution cipher so until you learn that you're trying to get around from context clues in increasingly bizarre airports. You often have to get Things for different dogs to get them to help you and eventually get your flight, so you have to figure out the right chain of stores to go to to get your flight on time.

It's fun, it's not that long as far as I'm aware, and it is a nice little thing to have to do. I've been playing it in the mornings before work pretty often.

Tools and Equipment: Slowly setting up Linux on my new laptop, as previously mentioned AMD hasn't put out sensor fusion hub drivers for these Renoir CPU's so while I am pursuing that, I have to have some way to do tablet things in the meantime. Enter lisgd(1).

lisgd(1) is a gesture recognition daemon that works with touchscreens. You can configure (through a config.def.h or through command line flags) a set of gestures and commands for them to execute. I've now set up gestures to control volume and screen brightness as well as to enable and disable the keyboard and rotate the screen for tablet mode stuff. Between that you can replicate all the things the sensor fusion hub is meant to be doing.

There are other ways to do gesture recognition but this one has good tuning options and is pretty platform agnostic. You can do things like very carefully adjust how long a gesture has to be to be recognized or what deviation from the ideal angle will still be picked up.

I'll probably end up writing or finding a little panel utility that will make brightness and volume control simpler, maybe even include the rotation settings there too, but for now this works well enough. That panel will still get triggered by a gesture, so lisgd(1) is going to be load bearing.
