[mickmundy]

SORRY IDK WHERE ELSE TO POST THIS. slapdash combobulation of some bushmed vampire au thoughts i’ve been knocking around in my head for the past few months. whee! i’d like to eventually turn this into a polished fic once i’m done with my main medsnip fic. i don’t want to spread myself too thin but once i get an idea its hard for my brain not to just go nyoom

Sniper is a local hunter who gets brought into this German town in the mountains to deal with population control of these “feral wolves” that have been literally plaguing a lot of land for a long time. They’re harder to kill than regular wolves and Sniper’s a talented beast-hunter so the people of the surrounding area call on him for his expertise and help with finding out wtf is up with all of these Damn Wolves!

So sniper stakes out and observes the wolves and notices that they love eating meat. Almost for Fun. And it doesn’t stop there… they’ll go so far as to lick blood off of the ground, almost draining their kills dry. Not natural for just a normal wolf… and he ends up having to engage with a few of them and shoots them dead with perfect skill (of course). He observes them for about a week before he decides to make a move.

Sniper follows them to see where their den is and they make quite a trek to this huge castle and go in through some concealed undercroft. So clearly they have a master.. but what good would it do to just have a bunch of wolves killing a bunch of people for literally no reason.. nobody in the area is particularly rich and anyone living in a castle like this wouldn’t need anything from common folk anyway. So he decides to approach the castle… and he’s not a people person really so he knocks the elaborate knocker and takes his hat off (polite.. hehe) and clears his throat and isn’t really expecting an answer but the door opens by itself… and sniper hears a booming voice from up above somewhere that’s like “Come in, Herr Hunter! I'll be with you in a moment!”

Sniper’s like ??? but brushes it off… looks up at the impressive balcony and is like 'How the fuck did he know who I was or what I did… “Hello, sorry’a bother you but is there any chance you’ve been commanding those hellhounds that’ve been bleeding the local areas like stuck pigs? S’bad for the environment, mate. So if y’don’t wrangle in your spoiled dogs, I’ll have tooo- uhh…” And at the top of the balcony… Sniper can see the swish of coattails… and then…. appears Medic… vampire Medic…!

He leans over the balcony and grins down at Sniper and is like (hello fraulines! voice ->) “Hello, Herr Hunter!” and does a giddy giggle as he leans over the balcony and is kind of sizing Sniper up… of course plenty of other people have come here to try and stop him, but never because they’d made the connection with his wolves… Ohhh.. this hunter is special! “How can I be of service to you?”

Medic is prepared to kill him like he's killed all the other hunters before him but he's kiiiinda hoping he doesn't have to kill him because he's... cute... in a scruffy bloodbag kind of way...,. and Sniper’s just totally taken aback by how friendly this vampire is so he’s like "Well-..." Clears his throat.. "I've noticed you’ve been a bit of a disturbance.... y'know.,., what with the.... your mutts feasting on the folks around here," and Sniper usually comes in super gruff etc. but Medic is just.. wow..... not like other vampires he's killed....

Vampire Medic hums and is like "Oh, ja, that... I'm afraid it can't be helped! I'm a very... very.... hungry man, after all.." Sniper swallows because well yeah, that much is obvious! And Medic smirks because he can hear sniper's heartbeat like thumpa thumpa! awooooga!!

Sniper's like "Well. Be that as it may, any chance you can stop drainin' folks like stuck pigs?" Medic puts his hands behind his back and is like "Hmm.... well, you're a business man, aren't you, huntsman? You understand that I cannot simply do these things for nothing in return." And Sniper swallows bc he knows how powerful medic is... he can practically smell it and it is not a good idea to fuck with a vampire like this! So he's trying to play his cards a certain way so that he doesn’t have to end this with conflict…

"Well... what's worth an entire town'a people? Dunno how you can just wager-" Medic leaps down from the balcony and lands gracefully on his feet and stands up straight… and Sniper has to crane his neck to look up at him because… holy dooley… that’s a big… well fed…. spoiled vampire… Medic stands at about 9 feet tall and (some) vampires grow in relation to age and how well they feed.. Crikey…!! Not bad on the eyes, either.,.,

Medic cuts him off and is like "You. I would like you! ^_^ &lt;3" Not just bc he thinks sniper is kinda cute... but he's a very good vampire hunter and he could do work for Medic so.... it seems like a good deal to him! A very fair trade…. if he was going to be going ‘on a diet’ for a little while, it would have to be worth it after all! Sniper's like “WHAT?? Y’GOTTA BE KIDDING ME!!” And Medic's like "I know you've been the one killing my wolves. I'm very impressed by you, hunter! ^v^" [VERY threatening aura despite hiii <3 vibes] and Sniper’s like “Yeah well what if I’m not interested in negotiatin’ about this, mister-(trying to be condescending)?”

Medic eyes Sniper’s knife and grins and is like “Please! call me Ludwig! (didn’t get that he was trying to be condescending) and of course then you’ll walk out of here alive, just as you came. I must say I would find it interesting that you wouldn’t leap at the chance to be the hero of the local people, though.” And would grin smugly… because sniper’s one life for the lives of the animals and humans of the entire area seems like more than a fair trade… but Sniper’s stubborn as hell and he’s a good enough person but definitely not a saint.

Sniper’s like “And what does all this mean for me? That I’d be some kinda hors d'oeuvre for you until you decide to snap my neck and drain me dry?” Medic’s eyes widen and he laughs and is like “Goodness, no! how barbaric! We shouldn’t focus on how I could kill you. Life is too short to think so heavily about how we might die.” And smirks and Sniper arches his brow, deciding to hear the vampire out..

Medic shrugs and is like “I’m a powerful vampire. I won’t reveal my age to you on our first date (pauses to grin gleefully because he can hear Sniper’s heart flutter at the mention of them being on a date), but I like my home and I intend to stay here and carry on as I’ve had. However, I am not above making compromises!” And shakes his finger and puts his hands behind his back and continues “Of course you know vampires exist. What you might not know is that we don’t all get along.” And says it kinda spitefully and Sniper’s like ???

Medic carries on and explains that vampires are constantly fighting over turf and feeding grounds and whatnot but killing another of their kind personally is… in poor taste. But if Sniper helps Medic take over other territories he won’t need to feed on this area. Less vampires means not as many people die and having both a human and a vampire working together is great for both people and vampires… “But that’s where you would come in, hunter!”

Sniper scoffs and puts his hands on his hips and is like “Y’want me to be your own personal vampire hunter. A vampire hunter that works for a vampire.” Medic hums and is like “Precisely! It has a delectable ring to it, doesn’t it! Hoo hoo!”

Medic approaches Sniper closer and Sniper's on his guard, and Medic bends over at the hip to look Sniper in the eyes and is like “I know you’re a capable hunter, mister Mundy. My wolves have told me (he can communicate with/see “through” their eyes). And if you went from being a small-time crocodile-wrestler and chose to pursue more… exhilarating prey, I can assure you that our deal will give you the thrills of a lifetime.”

Sniper’s looking into Medic’s eyes and then looks down as Medic runs his clawed hand over the sheath of Sniper’s knife holster that’s mounted on his shoulder… and Sniper clears his throat and is like “How’d you know I was-“ and looks behind Medic and sees some of the wolves and looks back at him... Medic smiles toothily and shows off his fangs… and well… the bushman's always admired pretty sets of teeth… control yourself Sniper!

“Imagine this kinda servitude is for life, then.” Medic chuckles and is like “You won’t be trapped here, you’re not my ward. You don’t even have to live here, though I’d be happy to supply you with the finest living quarters you could imagine. Fed, paid, and free as a bird. I do require that in regards to other vampires, your loyalty will be only to me. Of course, there would have to be.. unfortunate repercussions should you betray my interests for another vampire’s.” Sniper snorts and is like “You’re out of your bloody mind.” And Medic laughs…

“Certainly!" He agrees, "So go on and think about it, and come back to me if you decide to take me up on it. The offer is always open.” So Sniper leaves and goes back to the village and gathers up his stuff and finds the locals and tells them “Found a way to deal with the wolves. Gonna take care of it at their den. Shouldn’t be a bother anymore.” They pay him and Sniper stays there for a few more days while he thinks about that vampire’s offer…

Late at night he arrives to Medic’s castle and sees the wolves growling at him as he approaches, but then.,., they stop once they smell him and sit politely! Sniper’s like ???…. and he kicks the door a few times to knock (his hands are full) and the door opens again and Medic smiles pleasantly and is like "I didn't think I'd see you again, huntsman! Welcome back," and Sniper's heart flutters and Medic can hear it… <3 but Sniper stays on the porch.

“I stay, y’leave those people alone. There’s plenty’a eating around here if you’re not greedy about it.” Medic snorts and is like "My pets must eat, you understand (they hunt for him and he can Get Energy from them through blood synthesis. i have a lot of thoughts on this BUT to keep it short lets go with this). As must I. what do you—”

Sniper reaches down and grabs raw meat, intestines, etc. he’s brought and starts tossing it to the wolves outside in the snow, and Medic's pupils dilate at the smell. He knew Sniper must have hunted it (ethically) from local wildlife… and he’d brought it to keep them good on their word… which Medic appreciates because he didn’t have to do that. It’s not anywhere near as good as living blood (truly “fresh”), but the gesture is nice.

Medic’s like “Oh, and are you going to be taking me up on the living quarters?” and sees Sniper’s bags and stuff at his feet looking like a homeless lil hunter and Sniper frowns and is like “‘Course. Clear i don’t live around here, isn’t it?” Medic grins toothily and hums and effortlessly picks up Sniper’s bags for him and is like “Abundantly. Come along then, hunter! I’ll show you to your wing!”

Medic shows Sniper to his quarters which is nicer than anywhere he's ever lived! He's in total awe of the place and that it has electricity and is just so bloody nice… and now he’s living here too… holy dooley. Medic shows Sniper to his “room” which is more like a huge wing that has its own balcony, bathroom, bedroom with a big fireplace, lots of windows…. very very nice. But Sniper’s still totally suspicious!

Medic’s like “I hope it is to your liking! You can of course alter it any way you’d like. I’ll leave you alone for now to get plans for your dinner started. Is steak alright? Oh! And we can start our real work tomorrow!” Like calling behind him as he’s standing at the door…

Sniper’s like this is too good to be true. what the fuck. But instead says “Right. so when do you eat my heart out of my chest then?" and the vampire stops with his back to Sniper and turns his head and gives him a toothy smile and is like "When you beg me to. And not a moment sooner. :) Gute Nacht, Herr Mundy." and delights in the sound of the pounding pounding pounding of Sniper’s heart as he retreats to his main quarters and thinks about his handsome hunter... who is now all his... hoo!

Sniper swallows and is like Wrow… Ummm Okay.,, Hot.,,., and as time goes by he starts to get used to the fancy lodgings and the fact that somehow/somewhy Medic isn't killing him and is actually holding up his end of the bargain, and they're getting so comfortable coexisting together that even a few of Medic's wolves start to warm up to him... and sometimes Medic looks out his Brooding Window to see Sniper playing in the snow with them or them falling asleep in front of the fireplace together... and they start to fall in love... hehehe

okay yeah. as soon as my main bushmed fic is done im polishing this up what the fuck!!!!!!!!!!!!! i need them to fuck nasty!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[mickmundy]

saw this on ur Twitter but PLEASE talk about all your various bushmedicines. For me but also only if you want to of course

(blease)

SKDFKSDKF OMFG my many many many bushmeds... yeas.. most of these are Mega works in progress but i think it's good to jot them down here so that i can revisit them when i work out character designs/ref sheets and whatnot! and these are just the ones off of the top of my head! @_@ i surely have more buried in my gf and i's server LOL. sooooo let's break it down really quick! HEHE:

My "Canon" medsnip: the medic and sniper in Thou Giveth Fever is just the Main/Default/Canon/Whatever medic and sniper. takes place in same universe right after the comics!

My gf and i's medsnip: arlowe and wren! a lot of their story takes place pre-teufort but they eventually become RED's medic and sniper! ^v^ "canon" red medic and sniper don't exist in this universe. they're already dating by the time they wind up at teufort together! we're still working on a lot of their backstories but i'll eventually talk more about them/write a fic for them too! ^u^

My vampire medsnip: tumblr Adores them.., yes.,., my vampire medic and hunter sniper! sniper's a vampire hunter who is hired by vampire medic to do some dirty work for him. they end up falling for each other... but not before spilling a lot of blood together!

have another version of them drafted where sniper's a herbalist and falls in love with a Big Mean Vampire who once used to love healing humans more than he loves harming them.. :'( they fall in love.,., show each other tenderness... HEHEHE..

My cult god medsnip: medic is a shapeshifting god/demon/spirit/whatever that thrives and grows in power from the cult that is convinced he exists and worships him. likes toying with them and giving them "signs" he exists and whatnot and loves the praise because, well, who wouldn't! :-) hoo! buuuut a Certain Denier has caught his eye...! sniper thinks that cult nonsense is a load of crap and doesn't fall for it. Naturally this makes medic Carnally Desire him and his attention... HEHE... >:)

My swamp monster medsnip: sniper is a werecroc that lives out in the comfy cozy australian bush/marshland (haven't decided yet). rough it as a human and also as a crocodile and loves being alone. until one day a very curious "Doctor" starts stomping around his secluded slice of heaven in search of/researching the plants and animals of the area (to harvest for his zany experiments of course!)... sniper hates people but this one just seems kind of... Charming... hmm.... !

My eldritch medsnip: MEGA work in progress. need to think about this more actually.,., Medic Is Not What He Says He Is and sniper has a hunch... ;-) medic has a "breath of life" ability which is ironic because the hurting is more rewarding than the healing! :'( HEHE. also have a cool idea for an eldritch sniper but idk if i'd want to fit them in Together or have separate aus!

My old retired domestic medsnip: would follow my "canon" medsnip. years and years later, some vague skip of time. the sorrow..,., the sweetness.,., in the Unlikely Event they retire... how might that go.. :) sniper's fine with aging but medic is NOT. everything can be defied! age! death! isn't that what you want sniper!! but maybe sniper wants to retire to some small house on the german coast with medic.,., medic can extend his life infinitely with his "devil deal" but what about his sniper.,., who has already died once... but could either of them Really ever retire...? HEHEH.., i've actually written a lot of this and i should probably publish it in a standalone fic. very emotional very angsty!!

My pony medsnip: EHE this is an extremely self indulgent one but i love it all the same! does what it says on the tin... what if they were ponies!! i've talked about it here and posted sniper's design here! i need to work on medic's just for the sake of having my own ref sheet to match sniper's but i talk about him in the twt thread i linked! ^u^ <3 i just love gushing about them because i love ponies!!

My demon medsnip: have a couple different versions of this General Concept buut the one i'll mention is a conspiracy theorist/total shut-in/sex-starved/supernatural sighter sniper summoning a demon medic... but instead of it being the kind of demon sniper was after (for whatever reason. havent figured it out yet), it turns out medic's a lust demon... Smirks

My merfolk medsnip: ONE I REALLY LOVE I JUST HAVENT GOTTEN AROUND TO FLESHING OUT YET GRAAHH... i love the idea of one being human and one being a merperson but i also love the idea of them both being merfolk... BUUUUUUT the idea of fisherman sniper living on the australian coast all alone his whole life and mermedic watching him From Afar and sighing lovingly... ;__; GOUGWOAUAAAA ;;; i have Some Picks for what their Fishy Parts would be too but i still need to narrow them down. BWAH!!

[mickmundy]

feeling abnormal (positive) about your vampire medic/hunter sniper au

OH MY GOD WAIT REALLY ;___; OUWAAAA EEEEEE THIS IS EVERYTHING OT MEEE ;;;; I WANT TO TALK ABOUT IT MORE,.., I NEED TO TALK ABOUT IT MORE..,., HERE JUST FOR U let me think.... AUGAUAA I SWEAR IM GONNA WRITE A FULL FIC ABOUT THEM becuase i'm going insane. i NEED to talk about them. i have OS MANY THOGUHTS BUT THEYRE ALL JUST RANDOM SCRAMBLED TID BITS..... AGAUUGA!! I JUST WANT TO WAX POETIC ABOUT ROMANTIC SEXUAL TENSION BETWEEN THEM (and.,.., a Litany of... Very Sexual Things Between Them... SKDFSDF)... BUT PLEASE TAKE THIS I LOVE YOU YOU MADE MY ENTIRE NIGHT PLEASE ALWAYS COME BACK ANON ILY

vampire medic loves human hunter sniper for a Number of reasons, but something he really loves is how sniper Smells.... smelling his sleeping huntsman (that's not yet His...) and catching the scent of the sun under his skin.... having his fangs out ready to Eat but then...! brushing his nose against the underside of sniper's jawline... hearing his pulse....... closing his eyes and furrowing his brow....

Resisting his Primal Urge to feed and getting lost in sniper's consistent heartbeat..... his hunger for sniper goes beyond wanting Food.... its Carnal... he wants him to be His... but not without that Desire being reciprocated.. like he Needs sniper to Need him too... and he swears sniper feels that too... but he needs to hear sniper say it... and sniper wants to say it...

and sniper wants medic in return..... but he also doesn't want to ruin what he has (a good relationship with a powerful vampire who is his boss + amazing lifestyle (eats well and sleeps in gorgeous mansion etc))..... and medic furrows his brow and his pupils tighten and he slinks away and leaves sniper Undisturbed.... :'(

[mickmundy]

Ooh, is the vampire AU set in the same settings as the game? Or are we talking gothic mansion? I can imagine Medic having a very over the top place with bloodstained white curtains everywhere adkahskafsjs!

Also, would Sniper's van be at all included, like a Vampire Hunter D: Bloodlust type of vehicle? ((Armour padded, crosses on the top and full of hunting equipment)) or would he have plants as well- and Sir Hootsalot!! How would they be in it, if at all?

Have a great day!!! Thanks!!

OMG EHEHEHE I HAD TO THINK ABOUT THIS ONE!!! SO IM SORRY FOR THE SLOW REPLY!! ;__; GWAAHHHH but!! EHEHE LETSA GOOOOO

i think it's going to be set in the 60's-70's-ish time, i don't want to go Full Edwardian because i'd just prefer to have more "writing luxuries" with electricity and more Modern vehicles readily available to me HEH (also i think people jump to it being Ye Olde Era with vampire tropes and i like to mix things up!)...

However i think medic does live in a Castle because he's dramatic and since castles exist presently, there's no sense in them not existing back in the 60's too! while i think medic would rock the Super Frilly Vampire Outfits i just picture his silhouette to be much more Clean.. his in-game cosmetics are more of the style i'm imagining, a bit Sleeker and not as bulky.

he's still in professional/"formal" attire and his home is very dramatic and extravagant! he strikes me as the type who would love the "brooding german castle on a mountain on the outside" vibe but the inside would still be Practically suited to him with modern-for-the-70s appliances and amenities. and lots of kitschy decor and heavy fabrics like fur and velvet (to contrast sniper's love of corduroy and wool)!

and OMG YES i think sniper's van would absolutely be included!! just because i hate to separate him from it :'( i think he makes his customers ship his van around when they hire him LOL or just some "cartoon logic" of like oh yeah the van just goes where he goes. drops out of the sky like its being spawned in on gmod... HEHE.. and EHEE HOOTSIE.... i might include her, i think traveling with an animal like hoots would be kind of difficult with how much sniper would be moving around as a hunter in this particular universe, but i'm also just tempted to apply the same Van Logic to hoots... maybe this time around i'll give him a reptile that he can keep safely in his van HEH! >:)

[mickmundy]

thinking about my vampire medic's claws.. he wears long gloves Usually because he thinks they're pretty but his actual hands (up to the middle of his forearms i'd say) are like a blackish red i think., with big claws too of course.,., his gloves are custom made so they can accommodate his long nails but if he knows he'll be in combat he won't wear them. just thinking about them twirled in sniper's hair or running over sniper's lips... sighs fondly...

[mickmundy]

sorry to bother ya but do ya perhaps have any new silly thoughts about your silly guys (vamp medic + hunter sniper)?

OMFGGG YOU ARE NEVER A BOTHER UWAAA ;___; i love getting asks!! ^__^ you could sincerely never bother me I feel like i'm bothering YOU when i just blab about stuff so ;_; asks help me feel less annoying ehe!! AND ABSOLUTELY HMMM let me see.,.,

their dynamic is extra fun to me because OBVIOUSLY i am sooo slutty for slow burn pining etc BUT this fic would let me have a lot more fun in the sense of adding on all of these supernatural Creatures and their social dynamics etc.,., plus since it's just a silly fantasy au i can be sooo sillay and a bit Corny Tropey with it but it's okay! let dutch have fun as a treat...................

so i've said before sniper isn't a hostage nor is he a ward or anything else... but medic's castle is really nice and so sniper figures he'd probably be crazy not to take him up on some of that amazing lodging!! medic calls in a chef that cooks for sniper around the clock and often joins sniper when he eats (having just finished eating himself... heh) and is often sitting at the table waiting for sniper swirling a glass of blood in a wine glass and being like "gooood evening herr hunter! ^v^" and at first sniper would think it was absolutely ridiculous but he's also.., kind of lonely.,., and as he gets used it medic just becomes a part of his routine and he looks forward to having dinner with him... they "quickly" become friends and pick each other's brains about humans, vampires, combat, hunting, etc!!

and i think sniper specifically is really well suited to the like. "vampire/supernatural/creature hunter" thing because he's a liiiiittle bit morally gray. like he'd be.,., a little curious about medic and how he ticks (and how he hunts/kills) and medic would think that was so cute.... and of course he loves to talk about himself so that's perfect!! and i think sniper's also just got that Funny Offbeat-ness to his personality (canonically. but as well as in this au ehe) that i think he and medic like things that are "morbid" and "weird" and they just Get Each Other like that!

medic talks to sniper about the thrill of the hunt from the perspective of his wolves.,., "hoo! there is nothing like it!" and sniper on the edge of his seat listening because god it would be so cool to hunt like an animal does.... medic taking sniper up on that and offering to let him tag along the next time his wolves go hunting. sniper does so just to watch his wolves work, fascinated by the fact that it's medic controlling them (or not knowing that bit of info at all yet. haven't decided which is more Delicious ehe) .,., letting out a startled yelp as one of the wolves comes up behind him and blows hot air in his ear and nips at sniper's ear and barks and does the "play bow" at him.,., medic's playing with him.., sniper playfully shoves the muzzle of the wolf away and is like "ALRIGHT alright.,., very funny.,. -_-" but he's chuckling and brushes the snow off of him and readies his own bow and hunts a few animals for them (as a thank you to medic).,.,

sniper coming back in soaked and muddy and one of medic's wolves trotting up to him and sitting beside medic and sniper shucks off his drenched gross outdoor clothes by the fireplace and medic "jogs" up to greet them (going Human Paced) and is like "HOO! LOOK AT YOU! did you have fun? ^v^" and sniper's excitedly babbling about how much fun he'd had and is like "heh., s'fun hunting with a pack. never done that before, well, obviously," and of course the wolves were being controlled by medic but medic's like ;-; because sniper looked so in his element and looked like such a Handsome and Rugged Hunter... and medic's like "well, i'm so glad to hear you had fun; you certainly gave my hounds a run for their money, hoo! why, i-" and sniper's asleep curled up by the fireplace and medic grins oughhhh he wants to hold sniper so bad...

sniper is SO human and medic doesn't miss being a human whatsoever (and of course in true medic fashion Jumped at the chance at Vampire Immortality in the first place) but... it's a nice change of scenery... Very Cute.,., and it makes medic's dead old heart flutter just a little bit... ehe.,.,

[mickmundy]

more vamphunter au ideas? perhaps? if you want to keep em a secret that's fine too I'm just abnormal about em

OMFGGG NONO not at all!! i don't mind sharing about it, i want to write a fic ideally but it'll be really self indulgent and probably wouldn't be for a while. plus answering questions about them helps me flesh them out! :D

so sniper was originally a big-game hunter and helped with things like population control. wrestles crocs in his spare time etc, loves the thrill of the hunt (which medic can see in his eyes... hehe)! eventually discovered the existence of supernatural creatures and realized he could get paid big dough to deal with even scarier things than giant crocs or bears or anything else. money's money, and if the job seems honest enough (he's still got a moral code!), he'll go for it. "ah, why not!"

sniper doesn't hate supernaturals; he'll be cordial and professional to anyone as long as they don't give him a reason not to be. medic is the first vampire sniper has ever had to deal with! but sniper trusts his own instincts and knows that big vampire might seem kind enough, but is capable of way more than what he lets on! when he's hunting medic's wolves (before he knows they belong to medic), medic watches him through the eyes of his hounds and he can see the same love for the hunt in sniper's eyes that he himself has. hmmm, interesting!

medic also does not wish he was human or hate his vampire-ness; he loves every minute of it and wouldn't trade it for the world! he was glad to be made and he doesn't regret it whatsoever! in fact it annoys him when other vampires get "weepy about their humanity" to him... he thinks he's retained the best aspects of being human with all of the fun of being a vampire!

he also doesn't like covens because he's on a lot of vampire shit-lists. treason, human-stealing, vampire-slaying, to name a few! prefers to live on his own with his wolves and only seeks companionship with others when he feels like it. typically that involves people to eat (and fool around with on occasion!), but no human has caught his eye like sniper in... a very long time! at first he intends to keep his relationship with sniper professional until it ceases to benefit him, then he figured he'd eat him and drain him and be done with it. but the more time he spends around sniper.,., he realizes he wants to keep him around....... and doesn't want to harm him......

i think their relationship would start off a bit rocky since sniper doesn’t trust medic whatsoever (understandable) but there’s a certain Something about medic that sniper feels drawn to and medic feels that about sniper, too. usually humans don’t interest medic since they’re such fleeting creatures that serve little purpose other than food or entertainment for him. sniper starts out that way for him too; he’s there to do a job for medic and little else and he knows he’s not likely going to be able to persuade sniper to do anything more or less than what he was hired to do. but…���… they both start getting closer..,., and closer….

sniper starts bonding with medic’s wolves… and medic can Feel through his wolves so he can feel every pet or pat that sniper gives them, any rustle of the fur etc… it feels like sniper’s touching Medic too…. it makes the hair on the back of medic’s neck stand on end… and sniper loves how medic smells… his wolves don’t smell like wolves, they smell like medic… some kind of dark scent that sniper can’t place… something that goes Beyond whatever medic uses for cologne and aftershave… it feels….. primal.,., and sniper likes it.,., and medic of course can hear sniper’s heartbeat, can hear his blood rushing… some of it is just Uncontrollable Humanness of course, but other times… he knows when he makes sniper’s heart race and at first he thinks its out of fear, but when they get closer.. it’s when their hands touch or when medic scoots in sniper’s chair in the dining hall, or when medic comes out in the snow to greet him while he’s playing with his wolves… <3 hehehehehee…

i currently have roles for some of the other mercs too....... typically cramming All Other Characters into Romance Fics is like. annoying to me if they're in every chapter SKDFKSDKFSKDF but the way i'd do it i think i COULD pull it off since they wouldn't be in every chapter or even Consistent characters really..... and each character would have a "part" ykwim... i have REALLY good ideas for spy, heavy, scout, scout's mom, and demo. the other mercs i don't have too many ideas for yet so idk if i'll try to go out of my way to include them or if i'll just leave them out entirely... grah!

Quastions

Vampire medic. how long has he been living where he does? does he like Any other vampires? If he does, how do they feel about his new... employee? friend? whatever sniper is before they give in to The Gay

does sniper have other hunter friends, or merc friends? how do They feel about medic?

How did Sniper get into this business, and all the way to (Germany?)

What weaknesses, strengths and powers do vampires in this world have?

OMG YEAS... takes out my quill.... LETS GOOOOOOOOO

Vampire medic:

how long has he been living where he does? for a long time! he's traveled the world and comes and goes as he pleases, but there's no place like home. he's shacked up in a very nice castle that he... commandeered hundreds of years ago. he loves it! does he like Any other vampires? hmmm.,., i'd say there's a few he... gets along with, but he doesn't particularly seek out their company. it's complicated! HEHE... If he does, how do they feel about his new... employee? friend? whatever sniper is before they give in to The Gay they aren't even remotely surprised that medic has hired someone to hunt and kill his enemies for him. medic loves getting his hands dirty but sometimes it's more trouble than it's worth if he carries it out himself ykwim! one of them is Very Amused by it though.., and the other is perhaps hoping his old flame has had a change of heart since they were together...! HEH.. sniper starts out as an employee, but they can't help but notice that perhaps medic has a bit of a crush on him and yet hasn't turned him, drained him or killed him yet! interesting! >:)

does sniper have other hunter friends, or merc friends? how do They feel about medic? sniper has a few other mercenary friends, but he's still very much a lone wolf. he travels alone and mostly communicates with his two other friends by telephone! that's just how he likes it though :)! and i'm not sure if they're going to meet medic, but if they do i think they'd trust sniper's judgement and would be happy for their friend! even if medic's Big Personality might put them off a little...!

how did sniper get into this business, and wind up in germany? tbh i think his backstory is pretty similar to "canon" sniper; grew up in the bush, loved big game hunting and sought bigger thrills so he became a mercenary! hunting men got a little boring after a while and he preferred his reclusive, non-committal lifestyle and retired from that to pursue hunting. as it turned out, he could combine mercenary work with his enjoyment of hunting by dabbling in the hunting of supernatural creatures! their existence is known to him and he's not surprised that vampires exist... but he is shocked at medic's employment offer! he winds up in germany after getting a call about some large, bloodthirsty wolves that have been plaguing a Certain Area (near medic's castle by a few miles) for a Very Long Time and nobody's been able to do anything about it. it's like they can't die and they just... keep coming! interesting... well, sniper's never backed down from a challenge (or the promise of a good paycheck)! >:) so off he goes!

What weaknesses, strengths and powers do vampires in this world have? hmm, so a lot of this is still being worked on in my mind BUT i think that older, more powerful vampires (like medic, for example) eventually develop a Signature Ability that might be relevant to their time as a human, their life as a vampire, or it could be completely random! i’m still heavily working on medic’s right now so i don’t want to say much, but it Does have something to do with his bond with wolves! Perhaps Hypothetically, another vampire’s ability could be to turn invisible, something that’s Very Rare and Unique, or just enhanced (on top of the Already Massive Amounts of) strength, speed, etc. not every vampire gets a Unique Gift and it’s usually only after they’ve been a vampire for a significant amount of time. this aspect is still heavily under development! and as it is only medic and two other vampires will have Set Unique Abilities! weaknesses are the sun, silver bullets and stakes! vampires are always very ready to combat such things though, so even weapons set to kill vampires will need to be wielded by an expert in order to stand a chance! vampires can feed off of any kind of blood, animal or human, but human is preferred. they have very keen senses of smell and hearing and possess super speed and strength! they can hear the heartbeats of those living folk around them and tend to run quite cold in terms of body temperature. it’s not unheard of for vampires and humans to get along, but for the most part, vampires prefer not having anything to do with humans unless they intend to make the human a vampire themselves! so it is Very Interesting to other vampires that medic is keeping a human vampire hunter around and does not seem to have any intention of turning him (despite sniper’s suspicions to the contrary)… hmm….!

HAiii ummm!! ^_^ about ur vampire bushmedicine... i havent read a lot of ur posts on it so im sorry if theze have already been asked!! but, i have a few questions <3

does medic sparkle!??!?!? iz he one of THOSE vampz!!

are hiz wolves more of a familiar or like.. a separate entity? [sorry again if this has been answered!]

since sniper iz a hunter !! or something!! has he killed any vampires that we know of? [ tf2 character wise ] [ also just asking like.. who else is vampire-ific ] !!!!

tysm again and srry again if u have answered theze!! xoxo

OMG THATS OKAY!! i don't mind re-answering or linking any relevant posts so no worries at all my friend, i don't expect anyone to be an expert on my written-on-the-fly fic LOL! <33 AND EE ID LOVE TO ANSWER THESE HOLY SHIT AND ALSO I AM SO SORRY I BEGAN TO ANSWER THIS ASK AND I SAVED IT AS A DRAFT AND THEN IT DISAPPEARED FROM MY ASKBOX AND I THOUGHT IT ACCIDENTALLY GOT DELETED ;__; I AM SOOOO SORRY BUT I AM HERE TO ANSWER IT NOW !! FPLEASE FORGIVE MEEEEE

does vampire medic sparkle: HEHEHEHEHE sadly probably not! i think sunlight would hurt him very badly! :( i think he'd THINK he definitely was sparkling if he was in the sun and he'd be like ^v^ hoo! herr sniper, don't i look handsome even in the sun!! and he'd be like. steaming and decaying and sniper would be like ";A; AH!! UGHAAA.. YES... YOU DO...! BUT HOW ABOUT WE JUST (throws his jacket over him) there we go.,., heh.,, so handsome i wanna keep you all to myself, beastie. let's get you back inside, yeah?" and medic's like ^v^ hoo! oh, you..! KSDFKSDFKSDF

are his wolves his familiars or a separate entity: OMG NO NEED TO BE SORRY AT ALL MY FRIEND!! ^u^ so his relationship with his wolves is something i'm still kind of working on. i think they would be wolves that were once native to the area he was born in but that medic can "possess" and see through them, act through them, etc. so he could be at home sipping blood out of a wine glass while also telepathically controlling one of his wolves and following sniper around while he's on a mission and helping him (something that he Does do but sniper has no idea that it's Medic Himself doing it ykwim). BUT when medic isn't possessing them, they appear just like slightly-bigger "normal" wolves (although Medic's Wolves have a reddish-black tint to their coats on their chest that just looks like stained blood from eating (bc they Do have to feed like medic does!) and this is how sniper can recognize them and differentiate them from just like. Regular Wolves in the region. they can also go in the sun! but medic can't. and medic can't possess just any wolf, it has to be ones that were raised by him and are his, if that makes sense! HEHE

has sniper killed any vampires (and are any of them some of the other mercs): ... ohoho.., well... this is something i'm also still working out. there are aboslutely merc vampires that he comes into contact with, but only one that he's killed... as of now! >:) i've been really tempted to keep who's who on the down-low so that my fics can have some surprises, but AUGAUGAAAA i want to share So Bad!! HEHE... its so tempting!! AAHHHH MAYBE. MAYBE... MAYAAYBEEE.., EHEHEH!!

[mickmundy]

Hi!!!! Just wondering how is the vampire hunter AU Bushmedicine stuff going? I'm super interested in it and really want to do fanart whenever it comes out ajskahajsk!! Also do you think it's going to be on ao3 or on here? Thanks!!!!!!!!! ❤️💖💙💖❤️

UWAAAAA REALLY ;__; THIS MEANS SO MUCH TO ME HOLY CRAP!!!! hmm, well it’s in the outlining and planning stages right now, but it’s definite second priority to my main bushmed series, which i am presently probably about halfway through with writing!! ;-; i’m chipping away at getting started on it and i’ll probably post it in “seasons”/parts like i do with thou giveth fever just to give myself more time to write it ykwim! i need to determine the length of it and what characters i want to try and fit into it (spy, scout, scout’s ma, heavy and demo already have their parts secured 😉), so there’s still a lot of big decisions to be made with it!!

BUT you are more than welcome to make fanart of the stuff i have posted here if you wanted to, or you could wait!! ^_^ i’ll be posting update info and promoting it here and on twitter (though my tumblr followers seem to enjoy it more than my twitter ones! ;-; so probably more emphasis with it here) and it will be posted on ao3 like my other fics! :-) <3333

However i’m much more open about talking about the Details of that series here since it’s not as “serious” to me as my main bushmed fic, so i’ll definitely continue dropping lil scenarios and ideas and tidbits here as i think of them or if anyone sends me asks about it!! ^__^ IM SORRY TO KEEP YOU WAITAING I HOPE YOULL STILL WANT TO READ IT WHEN I DO GET AROUND TO FORMALLY WRITING/POSTING IT ;__;!!!

[mickmundy]

If we didn't want to hear you talk about stuff we wouldn't be following you!!! augh all the vamp/hunter stuff is so good.

Question though.

Does Medic ever actually (consensually) feed on Sniper or is it all through the wolves?

UWAAAA REALLY ;___; THANK YOU MY FRIEND i just feel like i'm kind of always really annoying so it means a lot to me when people want to hear my thoughts on stuff!! ;-; <3333

and tbh the short answer is yes absolutely but the long answer is definitely not at first. sniper knows his way around beasts and knows how cunning vampires can be (and comes to know just how Capable of Cruelty medic himself is!) so he plays his cards very close to his vest and doesn't Ever even think about the possibility of letting a vampire do that to him! until............ he and medic start getting closer........ heh... >://) I DON'T WANT TO SPOIL ANYTHING FOR MY FIC but what the hell. it'll be a long while before i write it anyway. but i think once they're together sniper really wants medic to bite him, wants to have that "oh, feed on me, please!" moment like in the movies ykwim., heh.,., but medic... doesn't want to. like he does more than literally anything god he wants it wants it wants it but.,., biting someone who you don't intend to turn..... feeding on someone you don't intend to kill.... well.... medic hasn't done that in a very long time.... not since he turned [sound of a train going by and blowing its horn].. HEH!

as far as my "lore" for this, vampire bites that aren't "Bite To Kill" connects the vampire with the blood of the human they've bitten. if a vampire samples blood from a human without either draining them or turning them, it awards the vampire with the ability to track them, feel their emotions (to an extent) and more. that's kind of a big commitment! so it's not something that a lot of vampires... do. what supernatural creature would want to be saddled with human emotions! pah! and most vampires are good enough trackers that they don't need to drink a human's blood to find them. especially, as another vampire (hehe.. >:)) so kindly reminds medic, if said vampire keeps a sharp eye on his playthings!

conversely, if a human ingests vampire blood, the human could be rewarded with any variety of traits that stem from the vampire whose blood they drank; some could grant temporary invisibility (heh), some become resistant to/immune to otherwise fatal physical damage (hmm)... buuut the most common side effect is increased appetite and libido.. heh.... the abilities like the ones above ^ are rare and might require a large amount of blood to be consumed on the off chance it could happen.. but that would involve sampling lots of other kinds of vampire blood, and despite vampire's love for human blood, they're not actually too keen on sharing their own with humans! HEHE

0 likes and ill post about my vamphunter au some more probably

[mickmundy]

every time you vampmedic huntersniper post my happy/silly meter goes up by hmm 20 percent teehee

words are difficult but yeah very /pos :D

UWAAAAA OMG REALLY ;___; THANK YOU SO MUCH THESE KIND ANONS ARE MAKING ME CRYYY ILYYYYY.., am i going to use these asks to justify talking about it more.,., Yes.., Perhaps I Yam....

i think that sniper being a big game hunter turned vampire slayer is SUCH a natural role/progression for him... and i think a role like this can really make sniper's cockiness shine! he's a thrill-seeker and knows how good he is at his job and isn't afraid to flex his skills! working for a vampire might be strange at first, but hey, if the money's good and the lodging is free, hell, it doesn't bother him that much! he's a mercenary hired to do a job and will do it well, especially with how great the pay is! it's a nice bonus that vampire medic is... quite easy on the eyes... hehe... >u> bah! focus sniper! HEHE

sniper jokingly asks to see medic in action once over dinner, to which medic raises a brow and chuckles giddily. "huntsman! that's what you're for! i find it... difficult to stop when i get... riled up." and gives sniper a toothy grin and he can hear sniper's heart going thumpa thumpa thumpa... awoooooga! and sniper's curious. "what's that supposed to mean?" medic laughs and is like "i'm a creature of passion! getting carried away is in my nature! it's best to leave the control to the professionals such as yourself, ja?" medic smirks because sniper's heart is pounding pounding and sniper nods and clears his throat (trying to hide it/keep his cool) and is like "yeah, makes sense i guess. glad to be of assistance." and medic hums and nods and insists that "the pleasure is all mine!"

and of course medic is very capable of control. but he likes it when people underestimate him and likes to keep people guessing about what he's Truly Capable Of... he enjoys Trickery and Pettiness and being a vampire means he's had thousands of years to hone his craft >:) HEHEHE

HELLO VAMPIRE BUSHMED…. INJECT IT DIRECTLY INTO MY BLOODSTREAM THATS SO GOOD. how do they first meet in the au?

OMFG EHEEHEEE IM SO HAPPY YOU LIKE IT MY FRIEND!! ;__; <333 and OMG yes!! i’ve actually written their Meeting in decent detail right over here! :-) i plan on elaborating on it a little more when i write the fic itself, but here’s the gist of it to wet your whistle!! ^u^ EHEE I HOPE U ENJOY!!! <333 i also have a tag for them here if you wanna read anything else i’ve posted about them thus far!! ^u^ <3333

they come together as part of a mutually-beneficial business arrangement (medic needs a vampire hunter to kill all of his vampire enemies and sniper is a great hunter and needs/wants money! both problems solved!) and grow closer over time. it’s not going to be as slow of a burn as my main bushmed fic (i’m not sure if you read that one but!) just so that i can mix it up a little bit hehe! but there will be some Pining and Complicated Feelings EHEHHE… >:)!

[mickmundy]

a few super quick jotted-thoughts from my twt:

vampire medic:

controls wolves (hund cosmetics <3); can "see" through their eyes, they can hunt for him, "feed him", and kill for him.

is so big because Old vampires grow larger in size in relativity to how well they feed. medic is very spoiled!

has an Eldritch-like form that is only capable of "coming out" when medic is under extreme emotional or physical duress (has only happened once in his lifetime as a vampire). still working on the design for this but it's a wolf-like creature with pikes and horns and a wide mouth........ spooky!

he keeps the horns on his head "out" at all times though just because he thinks they're a cute accessory! and they make great handlebars for sniper :-) heh

very hairy! runs warmer than most vampires but is still cold to the average human touch.

hates vampire covens. "ridiculous posses!" has a lot of beef with a lot of vampires! prefers living on his own... until sniper ;) HEHE

needless to say, he loves to eat. he's Burly and has a wide body; big chest, big belly, big hips! and thighs too :-) HEHHE

SORRY IDK WHERE ELSE TO POST THIS. slapdash combobulation of some bushmed vampire au thoughts i’ve been knocking around in my head for the past few months. whee! i’d like to eventually turn this into a polished fic once i’m done with my main medsnip fic. i don’t want to spread myself too thin but once i get an idea its hard for my brain not to just go nyoom

Sniper is a local hunter who gets brought into this German town in the mountains to deal with population control of these “feral wolves” that have been literally plaguing a lot of land for a long time. They’re harder to kill than regular wolves and Sniper’s a talented beast-hunter so the people of the surrounding area call on him for his expertise and help with finding out wtf is up with all of these Damn Wolves!

So sniper stakes out and observes the wolves and notices that they love eating meat. Almost for Fun. And it doesn’t stop there… they’ll go so far as to lick blood off of the ground, almost draining their kills dry. Not natural for just a normal wolf… and he ends up having to engage with a few of them and shoots them dead with perfect skill (of course). He observes them for about a week before he decides to make a move.

Sniper follows them to see where their den is and they make quite a trek to this huge castle and go in through some concealed undercroft. So clearly they have a master.. but what good would it do to just have a bunch of wolves killing a bunch of people for literally no reason.. nobody in the area is particularly rich and anyone living in a castle like this wouldn’t need anything from common folk anyway. So he decides to approach the castle… and he’s not a people person really so he knocks the elaborate knocker and takes his hat off (polite.. hehe) and clears his throat and isn’t really expecting an answer but the door opens by itself… and sniper hears a booming voice from up above somewhere that’s like “Come in, Herr Hunter! I'll be with you in a moment!”

Sniper’s like ??? but brushes it off… looks up at the impressive balcony and is like 'How the fuck did he know who I was or what I did… “Hello, sorry’a bother you but is there any chance you’ve been commanding those hellhounds that’ve been bleeding the local areas like stuck pigs? S’bad for the environment, mate. So if y’don’t wrangle in your spoiled dogs, I’ll have tooo- uhh…” And at the top of the balcony… Sniper can see the swish of coattails… and then…. appears Medic… vampire Medic…!

He leans over the balcony and grins down at Sniper and is like (hello fraulines! voice ->) “Hello, Herr Hunter!” and does a giddy giggle as he leans over the balcony and is kind of sizing Sniper up… of course plenty of other people have come here to try and stop him, but never because they’d made the connection with his wolves… Ohhh.. this hunter is special! “How can I be of service to you?”

Medic is prepared to kill him like he's killed all the other hunters before him but he's kiiiinda hoping he doesn't have to kill him because he's... cute... in a scruffy bloodbag kind of way...,. and Sniper’s just totally taken aback by how friendly this vampire is so he’s like "Well-..." Clears his throat.. "I've noticed you’ve been a bit of a disturbance.... y'know.,., what with the.... your mutts feasting on the folks around here," and Sniper usually comes in super gruff etc. but Medic is just.. wow..... not like other vampires he's killed....

Vampire Medic hums and is like "Oh, ja, that... I'm afraid it can't be helped! I'm a very... very.... hungry man, after all.." Sniper swallows because well yeah, that much is obvious! And Medic smirks because he can hear sniper's heartbeat like thumpa thumpa! awooooga!!

Sniper's like "Well. Be that as it may, any chance you can stop drainin' folks like stuck pigs?" Medic puts his hands behind his back and is like "Hmm.... well, you're a business man, aren't you, huntsman? You understand that I cannot simply do these things for nothing in return." And Sniper swallows bc he knows how powerful medic is... he can practically smell it and it is not a good idea to fuck with a vampire like this! So he's trying to play his cards a certain way so that he doesn’t have to end this with conflict…

"Well... what's worth an entire town'a people? Dunno how you can just wager-" Medic leaps down from the balcony and lands gracefully on his feet and stands up straight… and Sniper has to crane his neck to look up at him because… holy dooley… that’s a big… well fed…. spoiled vampire… Medic stands at about 9 feet tall and (some) vampires grow in relation to age and how well they feed.. Crikey…!! Not bad on the eyes, either.,.,

Medic cuts him off and is like "You. I would like you! ^_^ <3" Not just bc he thinks sniper is kinda cute... but he's a very good vampire hunter and he could do work for Medic so.... it seems like a good deal to him! A very fair trade…. if he was going to be going ‘on a diet’ for a little while, it would have to be worth it after all! Sniper's like “WHAT?? Y’GOTTA BE KIDDING ME!!” And Medic's like "I know you've been the one killing my wolves. I'm very impressed by you, hunter! ^v^" [VERY threatening aura despite hiii <3 vibes] and Sniper’s like “Yeah well what if I’m not interested in negotiatin’ about this, mister-(trying to be condescending)?”

Medic eyes Sniper’s knife and grins and is like “Please! call me Ludwig! (didn’t get that he was trying to be condescending) and of course then you’ll walk out of here alive, just as you came. I must say I would find it interesting that you wouldn’t leap at the chance to be the hero of the local people, though.” And would grin smugly… because sniper’s one life for the lives of the animals and humans of the entire area seems like more than a fair trade… but Sniper’s stubborn as hell and he’s a good enough person but definitely not a saint.

Sniper’s like “And what does all this mean for me? That I’d be some kinda hors d'oeuvre for you until you decide to snap my neck and drain me dry?” Medic’s eyes widen and he laughs and is like “Goodness, no! how barbaric! We shouldn’t focus on how I could kill you. Life is too short to think so heavily about how we might die.” And smirks and Sniper arches his brow, deciding to hear the vampire out..

Medic shrugs and is like “I’m a powerful vampire. I won’t reveal my age to you on our first date (pauses to grin gleefully because he can hear Sniper’s heart flutter at the mention of them being on a date), but I like my home and I intend to stay here and carry on as I’ve had. However, I am not above making compromises!” And shakes his finger and puts his hands behind his back and continues “Of course you know vampires exist. What you might not know is that we don’t all get along.” And says it kinda spitefully and Sniper’s like ???

Medic carries on and explains that vampires are constantly fighting over turf and feeding grounds and whatnot but killing another of their kind personally is… in poor taste. But if Sniper helps Medic take over other territories he won’t need to feed on this area. Less vampires means not as many people die and having both a human and a vampire working together is great for both people and vampires… “But that’s where you would come in, hunter!”

Sniper scoffs and puts his hands on his hips and is like “Y’want me to be your own personal vampire hunter. A vampire hunter that works for a vampire.” Medic hums and is like “Precisely! It has a delectable ring to it, doesn’t it! Hoo hoo!”

Medic approaches Sniper closer and Sniper's on his guard, and Medic bends over at the hip to look Sniper in the eyes and is like “I know you’re a capable hunter, mister Mundy. My wolves have told me (he can communicate with/see “through” their eyes). And if you went from being a small-time crocodile-wrestler and chose to pursue more… exhilarating prey, I can assure you that our deal will give you the thrills of a lifetime.”

Sniper’s looking into Medic’s eyes and then looks down as Medic runs his clawed hand over the sheath of Sniper’s knife holster that’s mounted on his shoulder… and Sniper clears his throat and is like “How’d you know I was-“ and looks behind Medic and sees some of the wolves and looks back at him... Medic smiles toothily and shows off his fangs… and well… the bushman's always admired pretty sets of teeth… control yourself Sniper!

“Imagine this kinda servitude is for life, then.” Medic chuckles and is like “You won’t be trapped here, you’re not my ward. You don’t even have to live here, though I’d be happy to supply you with the finest living quarters you could imagine. Fed, paid, and free as a bird. I do require that in regards to other vampires, your loyalty will be only to me. Of course, there would have to be.. unfortunate repercussions should you betray my interests for another vampire’s.” Sniper snorts and is like “You’re out of your bloody mind.” And Medic laughs…

“Certainly!" He agrees, "So go on and think about it, and come back to me if you decide to take me up on it. The offer is always open.” So Sniper leaves and goes back to the village and gathers up his stuff and finds the locals and tells them “Found a way to deal with the wolves. Gonna take care of it at their den. Shouldn’t be a bother anymore.” They pay him and Sniper stays there for a few more days while he thinks about that vampire’s offer…

Late at night he arrives to Medic’s castle and sees the wolves growling at him as he approaches, but then.,., they stop once they smell him and sit politely! Sniper’s like ???…. and he kicks the door a few times to knock (his hands are full) and the door opens again and Medic smiles pleasantly and is like "I didn't think I'd see you again, huntsman! Welcome back," and Sniper's heart flutters and Medic can hear it… <3 but Sniper stays on the porch.

“I stay, y’leave those people alone. There’s plenty’a eating around here if you’re not greedy about it.” Medic snorts and is like "My pets must eat, you understand (they hunt for him and he can Get Energy from them through blood synthesis. i have a lot of thoughts on this BUT to keep it short lets go with this). As must I. what do you—”

Sniper reaches down and grabs raw meat, intestines, etc. he’s brought and starts tossing it to the wolves outside in the snow, and Medic's pupils dilate at the smell. He knew Sniper must have hunted it (ethically) from local wildlife… and he’d brought it to keep them good on their word… which Medic appreciates because he didn’t have to do that. It’s not anywhere near as good as living blood (truly “fresh”), but the gesture is nice.

Medic’s like “Oh, and are you going to be taking me up on the living quarters?” and sees Sniper’s bags and stuff at his feet looking like a homeless lil hunter and Sniper frowns and is like “‘Course. Clear i don’t live around here, isn’t it?” Medic grins toothily and hums and effortlessly picks up Sniper’s bags for him and is like “Abundantly. Come along then, hunter! I’ll show you to your wing!”

Medic shows Sniper to his quarters which is nicer than anywhere he's ever lived! He's in total awe of the place and that it has electricity and is just so bloody nice… and now he’s living here too… holy dooley. Medic shows Sniper to his “room” which is more like a huge wing that has its own balcony, bathroom, bedroom with a big fireplace, lots of windows…. very very nice. But Sniper’s still totally suspicious!

Medic’s like “I hope it is to your liking! You can of course alter it any way you’d like. I’ll leave you alone for now to get plans for your dinner started. Is steak alright? Oh! And we can start our real work tomorrow!” Like calling behind him as he’s standing at the door…

Sniper’s like this is too good to be true. what the fuck. But instead says “Right. so when do you eat my heart out of my chest then?" and the vampire stops with his back to Sniper and turns his head and gives him a toothy smile and is like "When you beg me to. And not a moment sooner. :) Gute Nacht, Herr Mundy." and delights in the sound of the pounding pounding pounding of Sniper’s heart as he retreats to his main quarters and thinks about his handsome hunter... who is now all his... hoo!

Sniper swallows and is like Wrow… Ummm Okay.,, Hot.,,., and as time goes by he starts to get used to the fancy lodgings and the fact that somehow/somewhy Medic isn't killing him and is actually holding up his end of the bargain, and they're getting so comfortable coexisting together that even a few of Medic's wolves start to warm up to him... and sometimes Medic looks out his Brooding Window to see Sniper playing in the snow with them or them falling asleep in front of the fireplace together... and they start to fall in love... hehehe

okay yeah. as soon as my main bushmed fic is done im polishing this up what the fuck!!!!!!!!!!!!! i need them to fuck nasty!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[mickmundy]

OKAY HELLO i'm thinking about this au again and im working on fleshing out some lore tidbits and working on a fic outline (smirks) and i wanted to revisit some of this stuff...! sorry this is all MEGA stream of consciousness that is going to ultimately be Refined so it probably sounds nonsensical at this time BUT i specifically wanted to touch on this point:

"vampires can (and do) feed off of any kind of blood, animal or human, but human is preferred."

virgin blood is the highest quality blood that exists and is coveted by vampires of all kinds; inter-coven wars have been started over it! in this sense, "virgin blood" is meaning "blood from a human that has not previously been bitten by vampires" and is very sought after for that reason. "sexual purity" has nothing to do with it (because i love Sluts and Sluttiness). it's about the untasted aspect of the blood. like how a vintage wine bottle that's still sealed is arguably better-tasting/"worth more" than vintage wine bottle that's been opened and sampled.

that said, Most vampires and the humans they're feeding off of (and other supernaturals) don't treat it as a "fundamental flaw"/"moral failing" if you've been fed from before. it's more of a like "huh! impressive/interesting!" that you haven't been than a like... "you must always be Pure Pure Pure" type of thing... does that make sense. it's often dubbed "an Old Vampire desire"... which most brush off with a roll of the eyes but, remember, old vampires are quite powerful and are still very much a threat to anyone they consider an enemy.

most supernaturals assume that people who intentionally brush up against supernaturals have been bitten by something at some point... not really a big deal! vampires who only see humans as Food are of course much more focused on this aspect than just an average vampire looking for a good time or a human who makes a living feeding vampires. the deeper into the world you get, the more of a chance you have at confronting vampires like this. if you work at 7-11 and take the day shifts so you can hang out with your vampire fwb, not so much.

and sometimes even just a small vampire feeding is even used as a strategy by humans to Deter "Feasting vampires" from killing/hunting/taking interest in them. the ones who only care about that kind of thing won't have much interest in someone who's already been bitten! and already being bitten doesn't deter Respectful Vampires from enjoying the company of humans.

logically speaking... it might make sense for a vampire hunter to have been bitten before.... to ensure himself undesirable to certain kinds of Dangerous Vampires..... hmmm....

for example, if someone who has never been bitten by a vampire winds up in a relationship with a vampire, and only that vampire has ever fed/drank from/bitten that human, well... that's some high quality human blood! claiming that "virgin blood" is a very big deal (to any vampire that's polite about taking it, that is), and a ritual of "blood sharing" can be performed (STILL REALLY WORKING ON THIS... but Basically in which the human intakes their vampire mate's blood first under Certain Circumstances***) that essentially preserves that human's blood as "virginal", as long as no other vampire feeds from them! 

*** not all vampires are knowledgeable about "vampire abilities"... vampires that reject the idea of covens (where information about their abilities and knowledge like this is shared) often don't care about this kind of stuff and just want to live much simpler lives! others seek this knowledge and prefer the company and companionship of covens (and the rules that come with them). depends on the 'pire!

this is obviously deemed "better quality" blood than someone who has let two or more vampires feed from them. this is why some vampires are quick to turn their human lovers: their life and wellbeing is more important to them than the quality of their blood that they'd had access to when they were a human. it's a very big statement to make for most vampires (not counting the ones that recklessly turn humans for the hell of it)!

however, this is also why other vampires never take human partners: a lot of vampires are willing to attack another vampire's human if they think their blood is pure! that's a big responsibility and a massive commitment (whether they turn their human partners or protect them as they are) that most vampires simply aren't interested in! for most supernaturals, human life is beneath them and they have no problem going to "war" over a good dinner! every vampire has different personal opinions on this and it's often a topic of debate that varies from vampire to vampire.

if you ask ludwig, it's easiest to just entertain humans when you want to and not get... attached! after all, what can a human possibly offer a creature like himself! the long term should only involve yourself and your own whims! >:)

Vampire medic. how long has he been living where he does? does he like Any other vampires? If he does, how do they feel about his new... employee? friend? whatever sniper is before they give in to The Gay

does sniper have other hunter friends, or merc friends? how do They feel about medic?

How did Sniper get into this business, and all the way to (Germany?)

What weaknesses, strengths and powers do vampires in this world have?

OMG YEAS... takes out my quill.... LETS GOOOOOOOOO

Vampire medic:

how long has he been living where he does? for a long time! he's traveled the world and comes and goes as he pleases, but there's no place like home. he's shacked up in a very nice castle that he... commandeered hundreds of years ago. he loves it! does he like Any other vampires? hmmm.,., i'd say there's a few he... gets along with, but he doesn't particularly seek out their company. it's complicated! HEHE... If he does, how do they feel about his new... employee? friend? whatever sniper is before they give in to The Gay they aren't even remotely surprised that medic has hired someone to hunt and kill his enemies for him. medic loves getting his hands dirty but sometimes it's more trouble than it's worth if he carries it out himself ykwim! one of them is Very Amused by it though.., and the other is perhaps hoping his old flame has had a change of heart since they were together...! HEH.. sniper starts out as an employee, but they can't help but notice that perhaps medic has a bit of a crush on him and yet hasn't turned him, drained him or killed him yet! interesting! >:)

does sniper have other hunter friends, or merc friends? how do They feel about medic? sniper has a few other mercenary friends, but he's still very much a lone wolf. he travels alone and mostly communicates with his two other friends by telephone! that's just how he likes it though :)! and i'm not sure if they're going to meet medic, but if they do i think they'd trust sniper's judgement and would be happy for their friend! even if medic's Big Personality might put them off a little...!

how did sniper get into this business, and wind up in germany? tbh i think his backstory is pretty similar to "canon" sniper; grew up in the bush, loved big game hunting and sought bigger thrills so he became a mercenary! hunting men got a little boring after a while and he preferred his reclusive, non-committal lifestyle and retired from that to pursue hunting. as it turned out, he could combine mercenary work with his enjoyment of hunting by dabbling in the hunting of supernatural creatures! their existence is known to him and he's not surprised that vampires exist... but he is shocked at medic's employment offer! he winds up in germany after getting a call about some large, bloodthirsty wolves that have been plaguing a Certain Area (near medic's castle by a few miles) for a Very Long Time and nobody's been able to do anything about it. it's like they can't die and they just... keep coming! interesting... well, sniper's never backed down from a challenge (or the promise of a good paycheck)! >:) so off he goes!

What weaknesses, strengths and powers do vampires in this world have? hmm, so a lot of this is still being worked on in my mind BUT i think that older, more powerful vampires (like medic, for example) eventually develop a Signature Ability that might be relevant to their time as a human, their life as a vampire, or it could be completely random! i’m still heavily working on medic’s right now so i don’t want to say much, but it Does have something to do with his bond with wolves! Perhaps Hypothetically, another vampire’s ability could be to turn invisible, something that’s Very Rare and Unique, or just enhanced (on top of the Already Massive Amounts of) strength, speed, etc. not every vampire gets a Unique Gift and it’s usually only after they’ve been a vampire for a significant amount of time. this aspect is still heavily under development! and as it is only medic and two other vampires will have Set Unique Abilities! weaknesses are the sun, silver bullets and stakes! vampires are always very ready to combat such things though, so even weapons set to kill vampires will need to be wielded by an expert in order to stand a chance! vampires can feed off of any kind of blood, animal or human, but human is preferred. they have very keen senses of smell and hearing and possess super speed and strength! they can hear the heartbeats of those living folk around them and tend to run quite cold in terms of body temperature. it’s not unheard of for vampires and humans to get along, but for the most part, vampires prefer not having anything to do with humans unless they intend to make the human a vampire themselves! so it is Very Interesting to other vampires that medic is keeping a human vampire hunter around and does not seem to have any intention of turning him (despite sniper’s suspicions to the contrary)… hmm….!
