Rec-Cember 2025 Day 20: Vampires SMP [18]

[mrsluigivargas]

I think I pulled the majority of this list either just before or right after the finale? So there’s a lot of canon divergence in here, lmao. 

But regardless, even if I haven't gone back to read any Vampires fic since, The ones I did read were quite fun!

Scott thinks he can take Abolish.
He can move faster than humans can react. He could kill Abolish now. It’d solve the problem, he thinks. He could go take back his castle. In a few years, Shelby would understand that just taxing the humans with their blood is easier and frankly kills fewer of them than famine, and they’d be comfortable and happy, and Scott wouldn’t think about Avid except for once a year, which is good, because then he wouldn’t have to feel about it at all. It’d be slow convincing her, but he’s been good for thirty years, which is longer than Avid would have lived anyway so who cares?
Who cares? Who cares? WHO CARES.

Scott has Avid for 3 months before they manage to save him.
“Avid-” Cleo doesn't know what to say, but she feels like she has to say something, “I can't imagine what you've gone through-”
“I don’t- I don’t remember much,” he cuts her off, “From my time in there, I mean. I can’t really…”
“Doc says that’s normal,” she tries to assure, “from the- you know- thralling process or whatever it was.”
He shivers, blinks away some tears, “They found- um- Doctor Legs that is, he found bite marks,”

“What… what happened?” He’s quickly gaining lucidity, which is a very good sign. Unfortunately, that means he also has enough of a mind to panic. “Wh-why am I here?”
“I found you nearly passed out while I was taking a walk around town. You were outside the walls and clearly not well, so I brought you back to my house.” He describes.
Avid makes some sort of noise, which the doctor cannot decipher the meaning of. “Oh!”
————————
Avid has a secret he’s having an increasingly difficult time keeping, and Legs is suddenly the only person in Oakhurst to know the identities of all the vampires.
They have a talk about it.

Little sobs, muffled into the woollen blankets they’d gotten together, but not entirely muted, still loud enough for her to notice, to glance over at the bed and see Avid’s shoulders shaking, face buried in blanket and thus not visible, though she could imagine how wrecked he’d look if she could see it.
The chair creaked beneath her as she stood, and Avid visibly tensed, the footsteps that followed having his (red-rimmed, tear-filled) eyes peeking out to stare at her, and she wasn’t sure what his expression meant, but she could imagine it meant something, some hurt or fear or shame at being seen.
“I… noticed you were crying?”

“You what,” Legundo says, turning around.

“Pyro—okay this act is really convincing but this is hurting—“
“What?” He shouts, digging his claws into Avid’s arms. Then, quieter, “What do you mean, ‘act’?” Avid looked around, whispering, “You-You were nervous about Scott thinking we were working together, so I said we should pretend I was holding you hostage! So it looked like we were still enemies!”
“You what?!” Pyro shouted, uncaring if someone heard his frustrated yelling.
“I don’t know!” Avid squeaked. “I panicked!”
“That’s—“ But the longer Pyro thinks about it, the more he holds hope it might work. But… no, this would be betrayal, and he must not betray his Sire! But if it does, he could speak to Apo—or the doctor—he could find a cure. This would be the second time he lied. There is no home to return to with the humans, Sire is correct. He always is. But he doesn’t…

After a chance encounter in the woods, Avid pretends to kidnap Pyro in an attempt to have a genuine conversation. It goes… surprisingly well?

Avid’s hands were shaking, she noticed. A barely there tremble, unnoticeable to probably anyone else.
“Avid, actually– Can I talk to you for a second,” She grabbed onto his wrist again, holding him in place again, his gaze flipping between her and Ren, who he was again, profusely apologizing to, before finally walking back over towards the bridge. She wasn’t going to take him too far across, obviously, just in a place with a little more privacy.

They’d never seen Avid without that cross before. Whether it’d be strapped to his chest, in his hands, in his pockets, next to him in bed.

Honestly, it'd be a lie to say Avid really got used to the quiet.
Or: what if Avid stuck around just long enough to see his partner buried?
