I can’t be bothered to finish my fic but I still want to post it so here’s a snippet. (this is my first time somewhat posting a fic on tumblr?? not sure if there’s a specific lay-out lol.)

Characters: Gregory House, Allison Cameron

Pairing: Gregory House/Allison Cameron, Hameron

Tags: vampirism (unsure what else I can tag it as in this moment of the story tbh.)

To say she could fully begin to process the weight of her decision would be unfounded, but she knew then that she had already made it when she began crawling to him, a drawn out swallow in the dryness of her throat being the only audible sound produced from either of them. His glare intensified, but he appeared unable to form a resolution as to move away from her, unwavering when she held his hand in her palm shakily, enveloping it in a warm embrace before bringing it to her chest, never taking her eyes off of him.

“I’ll help you if you’ll let me.” Tears pricked in the corners of her eyes but she blinked them back, shuffling slightly closer to him. “I’m not going to turn away from you.”

In any other moment of time, where Gregory’s decision-making wasn’t severely affected by his reborn exigencies or when he is able to fall back on his fixations and forget ever having to deal or manage with his issues he would’ve scoffed at her desperate attempt to understand him, chastise her about the convoluted proceedings that had led him to develop this abstract practice that he hadn’t known would come to fruition before his very eyes in the form of himself and how it was too foreign for her mind, but here, in this grounded scene unfolding before him, he couldn’t harbor his resentment for people and their incessant need to sooth any longer. Countless nights had been spent ruminating about his next course of action, and unfortunately most of those thoughts revolved around a person one way or another. He begrudgingly unclenched himself, staring down shamefully at the ground hard.

“My rebirth…” He began, unsure where in his story he should start, whether he should spare her the details of how painstakingly long his original blood-seeking methods trialed but that he had to have gone through to satisfy the ever-growing hunger boiling up inside him the moment he had turned. or tell her the bare truth in order for her to even begin to comprehend the torture that he had to endure with becoming his vampiric self? “My rebirth happened on December 1st, in the evening, just outside of the hospital.”

Gregory looked up then at Allison, trying to gauge her reaction to the information, trying to see which emotion will overtake her first: sadness, surprise, or sympathy. It did not shock him in the slightest when she expressed all at once, her face contorting in multiple ways while her palm tightened around his fist.

“That was a week ago, you’ve just been shutting people out a few days ago, what happened?” She asked, before cringing at herself for having asked, unsure how insensitive it was, not even checking if he was okay with questions such as that. To her relief, he didn’t seem affected by it, tapping his fingers against the floorboard as if in thought.

“On the first day the man who turned me left me there leaned up against a tree. A few hours after, I felt a thirst for blood.” He glanced at her for a moment, scrutinizing her face for any twitch in her facial expressions that could be a sign she was scrutinizing him, continuing when her concern for him remained unwavered. “I killed these cattle I saw near a farm to survive, whether you think they deserved it is out of the question, it’s already been done.” He was glad for the slight smile that pushed past her lips, already feeling that the room bore too suffocating for him. “But animal blood isn’t enough. It only satisfies me for so long.” He looked up at her, the implication laying bare in the air between them. He watched her come to the realization, her eyes widening.

“You drank from someone?” She tried to stifle her disgust but couldn’t. Her heart pounded loudly in her chest, an intense vibration that House could sense all too well. He had expected her to have such a reaction, but it nonetheless made him want to stop talking. He adjusted his position, eyes facing downwards.

“I couldn’t—“ He held back his frustration, wishing it wasn’t one of his exceedingly heightened emotions. He fixed himself back to look at her, contracting his lips inwards. “I couldn’t live off animal blood.” From the wary expression on her face he knew that she didn’t fully believe him, and he knew that he himself wasn’t telling the full truth, but it was better to ease her worries than deal with the fall out arising from his actions, so he continued. “And I didn’t drink from someone, I took some blood vials that were being stored.

An exhale of relief breathed past her, her shoulders unclenching, reasoning with herself that at least he hadn’t drank from anyone, but it still conflicted sharply with the moral dilemmas tormenting her mind, and she subconsciously shifted further away from him. He noticed first, his eyes bearing a betrayed look, his mask failing him. He was quick to stand, cursing underneath his breath. Cameron stood up shakily, always the first to fall back on her words.

“I’m sorry I just—“ She grasped his arm, softening her gaze. “I just need some time to get used to it, you can’t just expect me to just be able to accept it so—“

“I had to accept it!” He shouted, tugging his arm away from her roughly causing her to stumble. “You don’t think it was hard for me? To sit there on the snow and just manage with the pain and weariness? He left before I could even ask him what was going to happen, I’m still figuring things out!”

Cameron stared up at him wide-eyed, her mouth uselessly opening as if she wanted to get words out but couldn’t. She walked stiffly to the chair across from his desk and slumped against it, resting her head on the armrest, upset. House turned away, repetitively clenching his fists in frustration.

My favourite underrated thing about Louis de Point du Lac is that he truly is the least curious vampire to ever be made and he does not give fuck about vampires despite being one.

Its Claudia who goes to libraries, reads the folklore, tries to learn as much as she can and pushes Lestat for answers about who made him and where the others are. Claudia says Vampire Pride and Louis says hmmm Vampire Tolerance.

And Louis...truly does not care about vampire history,law, culture. He's never even thought to ask. There are vampire laws?...ok...Lestat never cared about them and he's not going to either, lol. He's broken a few and he will continue to do so. Oh you have a coven? he's not gonna join it, he's gonna do his own thing. but good for you good for you.

the 500+ year old Coven Leader, he's gonna call Louis, Maitre, actually.

He has fire powers? thats kinda cool. he'll learn that but only cause it lets him vent his feelings about Lestat.

Lestat and Armand say the name of the vampire queen in front of him and Lestat straight up says, "Louis has no idea who that is" and do you think Louis cares, outside of the fact that for some reason it means he can't kill Lestat? No! Do you think in the 77 years he's been with Armand he ever took 5 minutes to ask a follow up question? No!

Do you think he will care about Akasha in season 3? Doubt it! Outside of her obsession with Lestat, who is the only person left on the planet he seems to be able to filter Caring About This Shit through

He blatantly breaks the 3rd law and publishes a book about being a vampire and when the other vampires get pissed not only does he not apologise he literally sends them his location and says 'you wanna fight? lmao don't miss'

I love him. Daniel Molloy is gonna need to bring his A game because Louis will not be solving a single mystery next season, nor would it even occur to him to try.

“2000s horror movies had to adapt rapidly in the new decade. by 2005, the horror genre was as popular as ever. horror films routinely topped the box office, yielding an above-average gross on below-average costs. it seems that audiences wanted a good, group scare as a form of escapism.”

Vampire Misunderstanding

So! Danny got adopted by Bruce Wayne, but he doesn't know that Bruce is the Batman. He is just supernaturally oblivious to all things Batman related going on in the House.

But he does notice that Bruce leaves home a lot at night, that he doesn't like to go out in the day and often has his parties at night, and once or twice he's caught Bruce with a bit if blood still splattered on his cheek.

So he comes to the only plausible conclusion. Bruce is a Vampire.

He starts trying to hint at the fact that he knows, but doesn't want to just go out and say it. What if Bruce reacts negatively to him knowing? He's dealt with enough Supernatural Beings to know that they don't like other people (and especially other supernatural beings) intruding on their lives.

So Danny decided to subtly hint at it.

He started asking questions like "So hypothetically, how would you deal with having a Garlic Allergy in Gotham?" Or "So if you had very sensitive skin that could sunburn extremely easily, how much cloud cover would you need to go outside?" And "So what's your opinion on a High-Iron Diet?"

Basically just tossing out questions and trying to Guage Bruce's reaction.

He thinks he's doing a good job!

...

Bruce is certain that he has adopted a Vampire.

Danny is a good kid, but he has a few oddities that are hard to ignore.

For one, his skin is constantly Ice Cold, but he never seens to be bothered by it. As if he was an Undead that didn't require Body Heat anymore.

He also seems to like Hanging out in the Graveyard outside, and when asked about it he says that he is comforted by the place. Just like the Vampires he has met in the past, who feel comfortable when surrounded by Death.

And of course the biggest reason for suspicion is the fact that Danny seems to be hinting at it to him.

He keeps asking stuff like "How would you deal with a Garlic Allergy in Gotham?", probably trying to hint that he is a Vampire who can't eat Garlic, or asking about easy to sunburn skin, saying that he is probably not a Daywalker.

Bruce hopes Danny will just come clean about it soon, he doesn't want to intrude upon the kid when he is so obviously nervous about how he will react.
