Moonlit Scents

The moon is to hang low tonight. Windows are barred and doors are shut tight to keep safe from the ceaseless wailings and clanging of metal outside. The smell of incense filling the streets signal the start, and the effigies being strung up in every corner herald the worse. Only a madman would open their door on the night of the hunt.

Bloodborne AU / FIC LINK

(notes under the cut, contains spoilers for the game and fic)

the four dialogues at the start of the fic are actual npc lines in the game. other npc dialogues are woven into the text.

the "many eyes" ryou feels on him as soon as he enters yharnam are the amygdalas infesting the town, watching him. his insight is too low for them to be visible to him at the moment (hes currently at 0 and needs at least 40 or to be at endgame).

there are no amygdalas in central yharnam in the final cut of the game, but theres one in the alpha version. its back there now for the fic 😄

ryous weapons are the saw cleaver and hunter pistol. I initially wrote him using the hunter blunderbuss cuz it looks cooler, but it would be very difficult to miss the rabid dog rushing at him because its shots have a wide spread. sorry ryou, I need you to get quite hurt in this chapter. lore accuracy is my passion!

bakura is where Lonely Old Dear would be in the game.

bakura is a Great One masquerading as a human. ryou gains insight (the whispers/lightheadedness) as soon as ryou lays eyes on him. this is the in-game sound effect.

bakura is slowly making ryou frenzy. works a bit different in this fic. frenzy only builds up the longer ryou holds eye contact with bakura.

not sure if I want bakura to be the actual Moon Presence, but he is the one orchestrating everything/backing ryou up with power (the reason why ryou is a dreaming hunter).

also not sure if I want omegaverse dynamics in this LMAO cuz game lore states Great Ones yearn for surrogate children... well idk if bakura wants children, but he does want ryou for his own, unstated purposes.

this is what the hunter's salutation is supposed to look like, but bakura bastardizes it cuz hes rude.

the screeching ryou hears is the cleric beast.

some roles I assigned to other ygo characters for fun even tho they wont appear in the fic.

yugi as the doll

atem as lady maria

isis as eileen the crow

mai as arianna, woman of pleasure

seto as the bloody crow of cainhurst

yamima as micolash (LMAO)

tkb as orphan of kos

yugi and atem are who they are considering that the doll is based on lady maria.

the horrific raiding of the fishing hamlet mirrors the massacre at kul elna. its lady maria's greatest shame, and she desperately wants to keep what happened there a secret. I thought atem fit the theme pretty well.

with that said, tkb being the orphan of kos lines up. but I still want to keep the yamiba and tkb connection, so Im on the fence on what I want to do with their true identities.

for gameplay reasons, everyone else in bloodborne is taller than the player character. so in this au, please imagine ryou (and bakura since hes borrowed ryous looks) being towered over by everyone 🤭 to me, its because hes an outsider/yharnam natives are just giants like that. also watch this.

anyway, chapter 2 one day 🛌 also play bloodborne.
