Sophie: go help this Nosferatu, it'll help make a good impression with the Sheriff and get you access to his connections

Melisanne: kiss the Nosferatu, got it

Sophie: no, that's not what I-

Melisanne: gonna kiss him so good

when your old coterie gets too close to finding you, so your boss forces you to go kill them :3

[nightingaletrash]

I make myself so sad whenever I write Mel/D’Angelo that’s pre-Coteries ending because I know they’re gonna end up so broken and shattered by Shadows. Like they’re being cute af, but in the back of my mind, there is Thomas Arturo. Standing there. Menacingly.

[nightingaletrash]

Mel and D'Angelo: *deciding to take a risk on love, genuinely happy together, just want to solve crimes*

Arturo:

[nightingaletrash]

me: Melisanne replaces Adelaide as Arturo's go-to assassin after having her mind broken down and rebuilt, morphing her into the perfect killing machine

my brain: okay but what if D'Angelo finds her, sees what's happened and manages to get through to her and with Qadir's help they manage to find Agathon who breaks her blood bond to Arturo, and the three of them go to LA to reunite with Tamika who is so happy to see her friend again that it doesn't matter if she's a bit different now because she's here and it's okay and they're a team again

me: ...isn't it usually you who suggests horrible shit and me who has to try and not die from it?

my brain: this coterie is pure serotonin and I will not be denied

[nightingaletrash]

I can't decide on whether Mel and D'Angelo are the same height and she's just taller when she's wearing heels, or she is just a little taller than him anyway and the heels just give her a few more inches on top

Like. He's a short guy, and you can't change my mind, but I'm torn between Mel being taller because heels or Mel being taller by default 😔

[nightingaletrash]

the debate over where D’Angelo and Mel make their havens in LA continues in my brain. on the one hand, they’re in Santa Monica over the pawn shop where they can be readily accessible to the local Thinbloods.

Alternatively, D’Angelo chooses the abandoned hospital Downtown because it doesn’t matter if he can pass for human with a mask, he is a Nosferatu and he will choose an abandoned building because it feels more like home to him than any apartment ever will. Meanwhile Mel takes up in the Skyline Apartments and succeeds in getting him to stay over during the day more often than not <3

[nightingaletrash]

Tamika was absolutely right about Mel and D'Angelo for the record, they just don't know it yet

Melisanne 🤝 Victor Temple

Complimenting the appearance of their Nosferatu Coterie members with their whole chest and meaning it every single time

[nightingaletrash]

Sophie: Kindred have associates and allies, not friends

Melisanne: got it

D'Angelo: thank you for not being weird about my modelling myself as my own fictional character in order to cope with All of This, I've got your back

Tamika: thank you for helping me make a hard choice about who I want to be and being there for me after my brother died, I would die for you

Agathon: thank you for helping me retrieve these notes and succeeding in my task, even though you got badly injured, I would speed for you

Hope: thanks for helping me destroy my old mentor's hopes and dreams, and for stopping her from trying to diablerise me. Need me to kill for you?

Melisanne: ...task failed successfully

[nightingaletrash]

Mel: *lets Agathon break her blood bond*

Arturo: it was that damn Nosferatu's fault, he must have had her bound to him all along and this was part of his plan to steal her from me!

D'Angelo: *literally has no idea that Arturo sees him as a rival for Mel's love*

Girls Night with the Coterie

Hope: okay, Torque. Smash or pass?

Mel: eh, pass.

Tamika: if you mean pre-sellout Torque, then smash. Otherwise it's a hard pass from me.

Hope: damn, okay. Benoit?

Mel: he's basically my brother, so pass.

Tamika: Catholic cosplayer. Pass.

Hope: Agathon?

Mel: again, basically my brother, it'd be weird. Pass.

Tamika: if I didn't know him as a person, I'd say smash. But I do know him, and that's why I say pass.

Hope: okay, what about Qadir?

Tamika: if he wasn't Ass-Kisser in Chief, I would smash every day of the week!

Mel: eh, not my type. Pass.

Hope: fucking hell Mel, how high are your standards?

Tamika: not very, watch. D'Angelo.

Mel: BITCH YOU KNOW I'M SMASHING

Tamika: see?

Hope: ...

Hope: ...Kaiser.

Mel: smash. With a car. Until he's a stain on the ground.

Tamika: bitch you had me worried for a second there

For nearly a year, the matter was settled. The Coterie was fractured, the status quo maintained. The clockwork city marches on, its pace unabated. Until the tiniest shift in the mechanisms breaks the silence.

yes I’m writing another vampire fic. no I can’t be stopped :3

[nightingaletrash]

yes I learned how to use the pose mods for the sake of my ship, and no I will not be stopped :3

[nightingaletrash]

I’m writing a Very Emotionally Important scene and literally just went ‘oh no’ out loud because Oh No I am fucking up my favourite Nos so badly when I just want him to be happy ;-;

[nightingaletrash]

I finished SoNY and hmmmm Arturo brainwashing Mel and turning her into his personal assassin that he keeps a secret from everyone, and she was the one directly responsible for Callihan’s death :)
