20s AU Post



Current Carmilla plot outline
--Post-fire, Carmilla and Mr. Peanut team up mostly to use each other. Carmilla's spent the past several months (since November, it is now February 1925) networking, and it's clear to her that Alucard's not suited for the position and that the other two are the obvious weakness. Mr Peanut needs something back, so this is perfect on her end. Mr Peanut can only imagine the joys of vampire blood in his work, and he'd like an army of vampires for his own ends.
--Shit stirring from Mr Peanut (all of March?)
--Mr Peanut also begins to sell mis Miracle Serum, which has vampire blood in it.
--Gang is very much trying to murder Mr Peanut during this.
--Start of April, vampire gets a call from one of the blood bank contacts that 3 patients have come in and are displaying some bizarre signs. Investigation yields the fact that they're in process of turning, and they've all taken the same serum.
--Additional investigation reveals O FUCK IT MR PEANUT
--Meanwhile Carmilla's been made aware of a familiar she didn't sire, so she knows something's up. Big fight with Mr. Peanut and thus Mr. Peanut is left depowered
--Gang commits a murder
--Carmilla's well sured up on her contacts now, and it's time for open rebellion (mid-April)
--In a more subtle attempt to let Alucard just step aside, she cuts the breaks on demon car and shows up to gloat/suggest he not pull a dad and go to deal with his grief quietly while she runs the city. The how he wants to do it is up to him (black widow joke goes here.) Treffy and Sypha walk in.
--1 week of straight up rebellion; feedings, no help from allies, need to do damage control instead of fight carmilla, every dracula rule is
--MEANWHILE IN GRAVITY FALLS, triangle shows Vlad what's up to try and psyche him out, somehow this finalyl snaps Vlad out of his depression and he heads home
--Just in time for Alucard and Carmilla to be tearing each other to bits in one of the bayous, it's not going well
--Vlad coming in means the king of vampires is accosted by a belmont with a pair of blessed knitting needles and a speaker with a fucking gun and he's just like what the shit happened to the world while i was gone
--Wards around the fight means that only demon car can break the wards, everyone has to pile in.
--Carmilla gets her ass kicked AND SENT TO THE JUSTICE DIMENSION

THEN THERE WERE FAERIES.
--Prior to all of this the vampire and Sypha have done a shit ton of research on how to get their Belmont back
--Sypha has also been practicing debating with dad, which leaves everyone Very Tired.
--When Trevor is actually snatched up (1 year after marriage, it takes fae effort. Taking Arn's shape fails, so it's a lot more kidnapping by force), Sypha and Alucard go into Faerie
--But they're playing this as politics, not as heroes rescuing their damsel, so that means the faeries are just "wait what now excuse u?"
--There are 3 gates and 3 trials (the particulars we're still bullshitting.) Each is asked to sacrifice 3 things. (Alucard: voice, his titles as bestowed upon by his father and his people, i forget the third; Sypha: her human form (she's a birb), fuck what were the other two)
--They enter the court at the end of the third trial. After LITERALLY ALL THE TITLES Sypha declares she Speaks for Trevor Belmont
--Claim debate over Trevor, turns out that the rules are in Sypha's favor.
--But that means debating to leave Fae without giving up what they've chosen.
--Sypha lawyers it all out, Alucard is a safety deposit and hangs out with Fae!Trevor
--In the end, safe passage out of Faerie consists of Sypha giving up her memory of the necromancer (billed as a great mage she studied under), the vampire gives up his immortality, and Trevor is replaced with Carmilla (dad was aware of this option and OK with it), but Trevor has his ability to swear taken. He now soundslike a rubber ducky when he tries
--Everyone gets home okay, except for the AU of this AU where the gang fails, but Trevor's on their doorstep like a bat out of Hell because time doesn't work right and he's been in Hell for a WHILE.

...Yes. At least none of us is dead.

[Not even Carmilla, apparently, which is the most unnerving part. And it would be nice to take more time to properly enjoy the comfort Trevor offers, but unfortunately the sun doesn't stop rising even for the sake of a stolen moment of tenderness, and they really need to go.]

Don't worry about the car. We'll get home all right, I'll make sure of that.

[He looks a mess. That head wound is bleeding again, and wounds to the head always bleed so much. Not the best position to be in, when he's about to end up in a dark backseat with a pair of vampires.]

...Here.

[She can't easily tear her robes, and the bandages are still...somewhere below, probably, so she just shucks them off entirely and presses the mass of still-warm cloth against his chest.]

To clean your face.

[ He looks down dumbly at the robe (it's precious, he knows that, all caught up in the story of leaves in hair and jumping off non-metaphorical trains), just staring at it before he nods and smiles. It's genuine, so far as he can manage right now. ]

If this is just a ploy to guilt me into doing the laundry, it's working.

[ And he wipes the worst of the blood away, holding the robe against his head. ]

Drive safe, okay?
willpowerful: so much at stake, so much to stake (FUTURE ☆ what lies beyond this morning)

You always do the laundry.

[At least when it's covered in blood, as it so often is. But she touches the tips of her fingers to his arm, the slightest hint of a nudge, and starts to guide them both for the door and the car and the vampires waiting, huddled in the darkness inside it.]

Mmhm. I suppose we will see if our little demon is feeling better, after all.

[They have a home to get to, and a slaughter to leave behind, and that transition can't happen soon enough.]

Guilty, guilty as charged.

[ Cleaning blood off clothes helps him to relax, okay?

He takes her hand as they go to the car in the hand that isn't holding a robe to his head, then squeezes it softly before getting in to the darkness of the car's back seat.

It's time to go home. ]
