How would Heather react if Yuki, Venus, Samantha or Patty became the fledglings ghouls along side her.

General- I think how she would react would depend on the person. But, for the most part of you are planning to keep Heather as a long time ghoul, then it might be better to have someone else for her to interact with. She has a bit of a clingy personality, which when heightened with the ghouling process can turn obsessive. It helps to have a ghoul-mate to temper that tendency for her own sake.

Yukie- I think Heather and Yukie would get along well. At first Heather wouldn't know how to handle how serious Yukie is, however once they get to know each other that changes. Heather becomes a big sister type, and makes Yukie do more fun things. Yukie might act annoyed, but she always goes along with her antics. They both become very protective of each other.

Venus- Hoo boy! You want to find someone that will give Heather's love for you a run for it's money, it's going to be Venus. Heather can hardly even talk to her because she is so flustered just from being nearby. Venus thinks she's cute and flirts anytime she can just to fluster Heather. It also helps that if Heather is having a rough day, Venus is more than happy to help out, even if it's just letting Heather hang out at the club.

Samantha- They would mostly get along. Opposite of with Heather and Yukie, Samantha would be the older sister type in this relationship. The only downside is sometimes Heather gets jealous that Samantha and you have known each other for a long time. Even then, it's nothing too bad. She wouldn't want to do anything to upset either of you.

Patty- These two would NOT get along. While I do think that Patty might not be as confrontational as she was in the game as she was assumedly going through withdrawals from not having her past boss around. However, she is still very much a braggart. Patty would constantly tell everyone that she was your favorite, and that is something that Heather would not stand for. It wouldn't be long before you would be back to just one ghoul, and Heather, sweet Heather, would have no idea why that was 😇

Yeah, according to The Chronicles of Caine section of the Book of Nod, it's drinking blood. It also says eating ashes, but vampiric scholar deLaurent (character who compiled the Book of Nod as we know it currently) believes this is just a metaphor for, "You're gonna have a bad time."

Buuuut we all have a diet cheat days; even Tremere. Sometimes that's garlic bread, sometimes that's (allegedly) clan leader Saulot. You know, as a treat

Jack, Strauss, Andrei, Velvet, Nines and Beckett with a hunter who tries attacking them with a string of garlic bulbs?

[I am so so sorry this took so long to write! I had to take an impromptu break for a month or so.]

Jack- Eats it. Not really, but makes you think he does. The order of events goes: you're both fighting, you hit his face with the garlic, he bites some off mid-hit to show you how stupid it was to think garlic works, then he decks you in the face, knocking you out cold. He'll leave you alive though. He thinks the whole thing was hilarious and sort of hopes it will happen again.

Strauss- It's like he got a grocery delivery for his next rite. Garlic, various other supplies, and a whole person's worth of blood? He'll be good for at least a week!

Andrei- If you could manage to get close enough to him to even do this, he'll be somewhat impressed. He would have you embraced (by someone else, certainly not by himself). Not only would that add to his hoard of grunts, but also he is amused by the thought of you now being a low level vampire being stalked by those who were once your fellow hunters.

Velvet- How dare you?! The scent of garlic does NOT match her perfume! Real talk, while she could defend herself if she had too, she is also Isaac Abrams' adopted childe. That probably means that if you were to get that close to her, there would be so many of his people on you in the blink of an eye. Being from one of the more sensitive clans, the strong scent might make her nauseous, but that's about it.

Nines- Breaks your arm and walks away. Completely deadpan, expressionless face; he grabs the arm you just swung at him, crunches the radial, turns around and leaves. If using garlic is the level of stunt you're pulling, then you won't be a problem for him anytime soon.

Beckett- Hits you back with the garlic, turns into a wolf while you're dazed, and bites you. Short, sweet, and to the point.

[vampire-the-askerade]

Are you going to create a master list?

I really should, but there's a few reasons I haven't yet

I've not really ever done that so it would take me awhile to dig through years worth of stuff

Some of the earlier stuff especially I look back on and my soul is ran over a cheese grater on its way out of my body into the cringe corner of shame, and I've used my clutter to kinda bury it.

(and most damning) I'm lazy

Doesn't mean it will never happen, but I've got to wait for the procrastinator demons to let go of me sometime, haha

#never say never #but always say I'll do that tomorrow #don't actually #thats horrible advice #hahaha

[vampire-the-askerade]

Could I request the vampires of your choice reacting to the fledgingly presenting cute and adorable only to end up seeing that they are absolutely terrifying in the end. Like, they cause even the bravest of kindred to feel terror. Just cute but spooky 👻

[sorry to make you wait so long for this, and thanks for asking :)]

LaCroix- Listen if there's two things he loves most in this world (after himself, of course) it's decadence and surprise attacks. You're like a dream come true! He can basically use you as decor for his office, and sick you on people. It might be a bit more strained if your flavor of cute is something more along the lines of bright colors or like scene or something. That doesn't match the curtains. However, loves the Lolita look(strictly the fashion, not the questionable stuff).

Imalia- Similar to LaCroix, except since she was in the fashion industry, she likes seeing the outfits/make up/general looks you come up with. Gets so caught up in the dress up game, that she forgets how much of a threat you are. The other Nos don't, and she has no problem telling them she'll send you after them as a scare tactic. Sees you as "my style buddy that bites people sometimes."

Skelter- It wasn't that he totally hated you, but like with how innocent you looked he thought that you were going to be a constant problem they would have to look after. When Nines reminded him that the Anarchs could use all the help they could get, Skelter was still hesitant... for two minutes. When a full grown biker walked away from you sobbing, he knew you could take most people down. Still worried that your cute nature will give the wrong impression about the group as a whole.

Isaac- You actually kinda embarrass him. Not that he cares about your personality or style; he's been in Hollywood long enough to have seen plenty varieties on both those things. What he had also been for a long time was a baron. That meant he was able to clock peoples' personalities; that included yours. However, not everyone else was that astute, so all many people saw was their feared leader nervous about a rabbit in human(kindred, I guess) form.

Andrie- Look, I know I choose him a lot for these things, but I think it's hilarious in this case. Especially if you dress in what's considered a cutesy style too. Like, you have the dark, foreboding, creature of the night and right next to him is like, Hatsune Miku or something. Like, it's a terrible situation for the victims either way, but the last thing they see is 👹🦄

Could you do Jeannette, Therese, Damsel, and Heather Poe with a fledgling that's a little more rude and brutish when they speak and when the characters in question ask why the Fledgling is so mean they're just like "I'm not being mean?? I talk to everyone this way, I honestly thought we were good friends :c"

Jeanette- She get more pouty than anything. Though she likes to act otherwise, Jeanette actually has some pretty thick skin and it really does take a lot for her to actually get upset. When she does finally ask you what your problem is, she’s a bit more understanding than some other people might be. She also can have a problem with words and actions coming off more mean than she intended. It’s something that both of you could try to improve with each other.

Therese- While she also has some pretty thick skin, she will absolutely be quicker to say something about it than Jeanette was. She takes no lip from anyone. She also is willing to help you rethink how you say things if you want to. She will if you don’t want to too. Stop talking to her like that or else.

Damsel- Listen, you two are going to be best friends. You two are also going to have so, so many arguments. It’s both your love language. The arguing things comes from you both being very alike and having everything thing you say sound like you want to pick a fight with each other. This also comes with the understanding that you both don’t mean half of what you say to one another. There have been so many times where the other people in the bar think that they have to break up something nasty, and you’re both like, “Um, no? We were just talking about the weather?”

Heather- I get the feeling that while she does take what you’re saying as insult, she is so lost in the sauce (you are the sauce) that she won’t say anything. There something of an intense brain fog that comes with the early stages of being Ghouled. When she does started to get out of that stage and would notice how you sound, she has known you for long enough by that point that it doesn’t bother her. She knows what you mean to say rather than what it sounds like.

[vampire-the-askerade]

Your choice of characters with a fledgling that they either are in a relationship with or have interest in them, finding out that they love to frequent rock festivals and concerts?

LaCroix- Ah! The orchestra! Wait… not the orchestra? Nor the opera? It surprising to find out that even though he might not like anything that’s not in the classical or similar styles he would rather have you be into some sort of music than none at all. And though he might not join you, he also encourages you participating in social events (within reason of course) though he might not be joining you for these particular ones. Still has a pretty staunch stance on what counts as actual music or not though.

Mitnick- He loves music festivals and concerts too! That’s one of the only things that he misses from looking like he did before his Embrace: being able to go to these things easily. Note though, he can still find a way to get in- most, if not all of the time, for free. He has his preferred music styles, sure. But, at this point he’ll take what he can get as far as his limited social life. Do note though that if you go to an indoor concert you will have to get nosebleeds seats, especially if he sneaked in.

Jack- I picture him just seeing this as a neutral thing about your personality. You like music; good for you. However, I do see him liking the festivals. Maybe not the music specifically, but there’s something almost nostalgic about for him. You Igor be able to use this to get him into some of the bands that you like… probably not though. Doesn’t like indoor concerts though. He can’t stand indoor concerts. He can’t sit still for that long, and the standing area makes him too boxed in by other people.

Ash- He loves concerts and music festivals too! Would love it if he could go with you to one. While he cannot at the moment seeing as he is still supposed to be a missing and or deceased movie star as well as, more importantly hiding from the hunters that caught him and dealing with trauma from that, it is one of the things that he almost blows his cover over. He will really appreciate it if you bring him stuff from the concert or even record some things if you can. After it has been about ten or fifteen years or so and he can easily convince people that he is someone else, he might start going with you. I picture him loving music actually being one of the things that got Abrams to give him a club.

Andrei- As much as we love this guy, it’s time for us to admit that he can been a stingy jerk. Tzimisce are a proud people, but that also comes with them being rather holier-than-thou in their own twisted way. Where this comes in for you is that he has no problem with what music you listen to. In fact, he encourages you to expand your experiences with many categories, music included. However, those concerts! Those festivals! Why would you go to anything that has you fraternizing with kine? Sure, it’s not like there’s kindred, or, more to his standards, a Sabbat only concert, but a bigoted, vampiric Bishop can dream, right?

Vampires x reader who can’t handle sudden changes

[Long title, couldn’t think of how to shorten it, haha. Only have LaCroix and Nines right now, but might add more later.]

Lacroix- He had heard you mention that you didn’t handle sudden changes well, but he thought that it meant only the big things like a change with plans or moving house. Things of that sort. However, there was something clearly off about you tonight, and he was trying to figure out what it was. Of course, he wasn’t going to ask you about it outright, the mixture of him not wanting too seem too involved with your personal life and his Ventrue nature not wanting to overstep a boundary making that one of his later options in the process. Eventually, he realized what it was.

“It’s the furniture, isn’t it?” He sighed and rubbed his temples at the realization of just how easily you were bothered.

“Those chairs aren’t supposed to go there.” You mumbled as you side-eyed the new corner they have been moved to.

“They do now. Please, try not to let it distract you.” Which was his way of telling you it was going to be alright, and he knew you were going to make it through this alright.

Nines- This was a surprise to him. Yeah, you had told him, and he sort of knew, but he also thought that it was just for the more dangerous sorts of things. But, here he was wondering why you were suddenly all moody on him after he told you that you were meeting the others somewhere instead of it just being the two of you.

“Is there a problem?” He asked, his tone was suspicious and almost seemed to be looking for a problem. He was a Brujah after all; sometimes and sometimes he just couldn’t help himself.

“No.” You huffed.

“Really? Because you’re bein’ real pissy.” His tone took a warning one.

“I told you, I don’t.”

“Kid.” He warned again, this time a bit more gently as he could tell something was actually bothering you.

“It’s just that…” you huffed again and then continued, “First I was supposed to go do this by myself, then you said you were coming, and now apparently more people are coming and I just-“

“You think I don’t trust you?” Nines guessed.

“No! I- I just need a bit to process this.”

He didn’t say anything else, simply gave an understanding grunt and patted your shoulder a few times. He might not be the best at the whole comforting thing, but he wanted to let you know that he did get what was up now.

I really have to thank you from the bottom of my heart for writing so much stuff for Nines. I started playing vtmb recently and now I'm starting to realize that there's barely any fanfiction of it online and I was starting to go crazy like an animal with rabies until I found your blog 😭 THANK YOU!!!

Thanks :)

Yeah, I totally get that. That's part of my reason for writing is wanting stuff that isn't there.

There's a lot of good vtm work out there, but a lot of people are burnt out/ got burned with the whole bloodlines 2 situation so stuff can be a bit hard to find these days.

I am hoping that once two finally does come out things might pick up again and we'll even have more fun with some new characters too :)

Nines Rodriguez x Reader

[content warning: arguments, slightly risky at the end but not totally nsfw]

[not proof read, sorry. Just had one of those, “wait a minute I love him” moments and had to write something]

The rain was finally starting to let up. While you were thankful for the extra cover it gave earlier, it was nice to not have to worry about getting totally soaked on your way to the Last Round. It didn’t really bother you really as even while it was still raining on you , you felt so proud of yourself that not much could bother you.

There were rumors of another group like the Brotherhood of the 9th Circle was popping up again. Remembering how much trouble they caused you were all resolved to find out where they were, if the rumors were true, and stopping them before such a big risk to the masquerade occurs again.

Something else you knew from the last time they were around was that if this truly was the 9th Circle or even something similar, they weren’t something to be taken lightly. After the bits and pieces that Damsel had seen herself, the aftermath the others saw when they were making sure that the group was truly gone for good, and what you had witnessed and dealt with firsthand, most everyone agreed that dealing with this new group was at least a two person job. Even if it was just some petty, copycat group, it was better to be safe than sorry.

That was, everyone except you.

You insisted that you could handle at least getting information about the group by yourself, then simply get help for fighting them off, if that was even necessary. After all, you had handled the first situation almost completely by yourself.

This was an idea that Nines shut down immediately. Now that Camarilla in the area were a bit more scrambled and unorganized than they once were, he had more time and attention to actually focus on some other things. Learning what he had about the whole 9th Circle incident, it was one of the only things he actually regretted not putting more of his attention into at the time. A single vampire spreading disease can be a pain; a whole cult devoted to it was dangerous. Things could have turned out much worse if that group was a little more organized. That was something that he was not going to risk this time.

As much as they would verbally deny it, around the Round, what Nines said was practically law. So, when he straight out forbade you from doing anything yet, everyone else just assumed that was the end of that. Afterwards, Nines watched you like a hawk as he knew how stubborn you could be, every so often giving you a glare that silently said, “Don’t even think about it.”

You were patient if nothing else and waited a few night after your disagreement for him to let his guard down. Earlier tonight, instead of joining him as he made his way to the bar you had told him that you had some things that you needed to do beforehand. Nines gave you the look once more and warned, “Behave yourself,” before going his way.

Of course once you were sure that he wasn’t going to turn back and check on you, you went straight to where the rumors said the strange group had last been sighted. You weren’t concerned about being cornered or anything like that as it seemed to be in a pretty well known park, and it was still early enough in the night that there were plenty of humans still awake, meaning that even if there were members of the cult there they either wouldn’t attack with that many witnesses around or they might not even realize you weren’t just someone out for an evening stroll.

While it wasn’t impossible for them to be involved with a group of kindred, it wasn’t as likely. Even if they were, there was no way that they would give any of you much trouble if push came to shove. Without wanting to act without more information, as well as not totally going against what Nines had said, you decide to head back to the Last Round. The thought that Nines was going to be at least a bit upset with you did cross your mind, but you figured that getting information would help cool his temper.

It didn’t take long to find this supposed group’s hide out: a stereotypical abandoned bathroom covered in graffiti. You risked taking a peek inside one of the small windows at the top of the little building. What you saw made you have to hold back a laugh. It was just a group of kids, if they were out of high school it must have just happened this past school year. From the little looks you could risk without getting caught or slipping on the little ledge slick with rainfall you were standing on, it just looked like they were hiding out here to sneak whatever delinquency they could think to try.

Things seemed normal when you got to the Round; hardly anyone even noted you coming in a few hours past when you usually did. It made sense as you all had things that you had to get done most nights, so they all must have assumed that you were off on some sort of job or another. You checked in with Damsel and Skelter to let them know you had gotten there, before heading upstairs. It seemed like Nines wasn’t there at first, but you eventually saw him brooding in a corner table. It seemed something put him in a bad mood… better save your confession for later.

Later wouldn’t come, however, as the moment that he saw you his eyes narrowed and he nodded his head toward the chair next to him to tell you to come over and sit down. Hoping to do anything to put him in a better mood for the sake of everyone else here, you complied and started thinking about ways to cheer him up. You sat and rested your arms on the table. Nines was quick to grab one of your hands, an attention getting action rather than a romantic one.

“Where were you?” He asked firmly.

You shrugged off the question like it wasn’t serious. “I just had something I wanted to do earlier.”

His hold tightened on your hand in warning. “Where were you?” He asked once more, not really needing you to answer, but giving you the chance to; his Bruja temper looking like it was about to boil over any second.

He knew. You knew that he knew. There was rarely a time where he would be pushy with you, and that you would avoid giving him a direct answer. Both of your reactions to each other said it loud and clear: you did exactly what Nines had asked you not to.

“Home. Now!” He growled into your ear as he stood you both up with a firm hold on your shoulders and practically dragged you through the bar and out the door. All the others didn’t get in his path- they didn’t even try to ask where the two of you were going. His anger was radiating so hotly off of him that anyone could feel it from a mile away.

Though he was by no means running, the two of you seemed to get back to your apartment faster than usual. Probably didn’t get caught in much foot traffic as everyone else was avoiding him for the same reasons the other Anarchs were. His hands only left your shoulders when he unlocked the door and slammed it shut behind you both. He didn’t look at you for a good few minutes, only standing where he was after slamming the door, heaving breaths tensing his chest and shoulders.

“Nines, I-“

“No!” He snaps. “You keep your mouth shut!”

In the back of his mind he knows that he will regret being so harsh later, but at the moment his anger, his disappointment was winning out. Not wanting to have this discussion by the front door where anyone could hear it, he lead you back to the bedroom.

“What the hell were you thinking?!” Nines scolded. “We had decided not to do anything yet!”

“You had decided not to do anything.” You interjected, you own anger growing by this point.

“And, everyone else agreed! You don’t get to just run around and do whatever the fuck you want!” He yelled, causing you to dig in your heels.

“And, you don’t get to control my whole life!” You replied in kind.

The was an almost animalistic growl in his chest. “I’m not trying to control you!” Nines corrected. “I’m trying to keep you from getting hurt, or worse killed! You should know by now our kinda world doesn’t fuck around!”

You scoffed at him acting like you were still green and unable to fend for yourself. “Well, aren’t you the brave hero!” You sneer. “It was just a bunch of kids doing drugs! I’ve handled far worse!”

Nines eyes narrowed as he asked, “Yeah? And, what if it wasn’t?” His rage turning into a quiet one.

“Like I just said, I’ve handled worse. I took care of the 9th Circle perfectly fine by myself! It wouldn’t have been different this time!”

“You got lucky then!” He scolded once more. “There was so much that could have happened to you back then! What if it did? What if-“ Nines gave a frustrated huff and sat almost dejectedly on the bed, “What if something happened to you tonight?”

You knew from the somber tone his voice shifted to that even though he might be upset with you he was also upset with himself for not stopping you from trying something potentially dangerous. In a similar way, you were upset with him, but also with yourself for breaking his trust.

You walked over to the bed and sat next to him, resting you head on his chest. Nines was quick to wrap his arms around you and pull you closer. You both sat there like that, you being soothed by his familiar scents from his clothes and cologne, and him grounding himself to the reality that you were fine by resting head on yours and placing the odd kiss or two every few minutes.

“Nines, I’m sorry.” You sigh out eventually when the silence and your conscience got too heavy to bear anymore.

“Me too, babe.” He hummed and placed another kiss to the top of your head. “Just never do something that stupid again, alright?”

You nodded your head and snuggled more into his chest. “I love you.” You breathed out more than spoke, relieved that this argument was over.

“I love you too.” Nines assured you, but then disquieted you by adding, “which is why…”

You were suddenly pushed belly-down onto the bed, Nines sitting by your side and using one of his hands to press on your back and hold you down.

“I can’t let you get away with being a brat.” He finished his thought from before he manhandled you. His other hand started to smooth up you leg as he continued. “A brat that needs to get a reminder to show me respect.”

You knew exactly what you were in for when his wandering hand stopped at the top of your upper thigh. Nines confirmed it when he leaned down, nipped the top of your ear, and then promised in a husky whisper, “By the time I’m done with you tonight, your ass is going to be so raw you won’t be able to sit right for a week.”

You shutter in nervous anticipation. Nines placed a kiss to your jaw and asked, “Hand or belt?”

If I weren't shopping with my mother at the moment, I'd totally get this for the hell of it, haha

[vampire-the-askerade]

Could you spare a crumb of general Beckett headcanons?

[Here you go! This is just some of my understandings of the character, and the ideas might change later on down the road]

While most everyone, including himself, would think that he is one of the smartest and most calculating kindred to live (so to speak), there are many, many times where he’s just flying by on guesses, knee-jerk reactions, and an inordinate amount of luck.

Don’t get it wrong, he is extremely intelligent and a master of planning when he needs to be, he’s always been more of a creature of action, and convinces everyone that it was all planned. Himself as well, sort of a, “I’m so good a planning, i even surprise myself sometimes!” attitude.

Going off of that, he is very conceited. He would argue confident is the correct term, perhaps self assured. However, it well passed the line of, “being sure of one’s self,” to, “being full of one’s self.”

Thing about it though is that it’s not a malicious sort of conceit. It’s more of a, “I’m better than everyone else, therefore I am the best teacher for everyone else.” Look at those other people, it’s so sad how they have to struggle over the simplest thing that he is moved, nay, obligated to show them the error of their ways.

As long as it doesn’t do anything that could put himself or his current objective at risk.

A good example of this is his interactions with the fledgling during the events of VTMB. He might not go out of his way to follow them, at least not purposely, and when he realizes the imminent danger in LA he gets the hell out of dodge, but when he does meet up with them, he gives truly helpful advise and even talks to them in a gentler, almost brotherly tone as opposed to the majority of their other interactions.

That being said, once he does run into someone he deems to be truly on his level, or god forbid, above it, he can get a bit pissy. He’ll keep it tone down as long as all parties are cordial, but the first glimmer of rivalry or contempt, then he is not going to be tolerating that person in any way, shape, or form

Similarly, he has very little problem letting pompous people know that he sees them as such. There’s that whole thing where a prince made him reveal what he actually thought of him, but I do get the feeling that the prince didn’t have to delve too deep to get to those feelings either.

He’s an interesting case of trying to be suave while simultaneously neither not carrying or not completely knowing how. Ends up being so in his own oddball sort of way. That is, he’s so unapologetically himself that it ends up being more appealing than people that put on airs.

This however can make it rather difficult to read the room. Almost can’t grasp why people wouldn’t have the same thought process as him.

He will make an effort to listen and understand where he might be mistaken, but only if it’s done in a courteous manner. Finds the whole process as a puzzle to solve rather than an actual faux pas.

Might seem like an oxymoronic statement, but he is one of the kinder hearted kindred. He still partakes in the more violent aspects of the other vampires, but only when he has to. It’s sort of his way to combat his nature as a gangrel and the perception that all kindred from that clan are little more than the beast that inhabits them.

Even with that, a kind wolf is still a wolf. If you’re not careful of what you’re doing or where you are, our dear anthropologist with bite and bite hard. When things get messy with him, they get violently messy.

Sort of like, other than changing into animals when he needs to, he keeps his more bestial nature under such a tight lock and key, that when there’s a reason to actually let it out, he’s got months worth of beast rage pent up there.

While he doesn’t mind it where people call him an history or archeologist, he does much prefer for people to more specific term of anthropologist. Sees it as it being as misleading or incorrect as referring to someone as an artist or a painter when they were actually a sculptor.
