ok so what if dennis was turned into a vampire when he was sleeping on the street? he didn't make it in time for the shelter and they keep pretty strict hours. he was vulnerable in a park and trying to stay awake, but he was just so tired that he was falling asleep sitting up, leaving the predator in the trees a view of his neck all ripe for the taking. 

at first, dennis doesn't know what happened. he only remembers a body on top of him and a flash of pain. he tries to fight, but is already so weak that, at a certain point, he just accepts it. the vampire doesn't finish the job, though. leaving just enough blood in him to finish the transformation.

he loses his appetite and has insomnia for a few days, but isn't even that concerned. it's not like that's super out of left field for him. he doesn't even see a doctor for the bite, assuming some weirdo assaulted him, and it would probably heal on its own if he kept it clean. he got a hepatitis vaccine when he started his rotations so he wasn't even that worried; it's not like he had healthcare either way.

it didn't all click until he was at his surgery rotation and a week's worth of bloodlust slammed into him. he didn't even think the word vampire until everyone was gone from scrubbing out and he was sucking the blood off of his gloves like some deranged monster.

but he grew up jehovah’s witness. he didn't believe that shit anymore, couldn't keep those beliefs and be a good doctor. but the prohibition of the consumption of blood was still prominent in his mind. so was the immense amount of self-denial they called discipline.

he denies himself basic sustenance as long as he can. allowing himself small lapses in judgment with blood that was already spilled. at one point, he sucks on gauze, and he feels like a troll under a bridge.

he spends weeks trying to eat like normal and just throwing it up, unprocessed completely. definitely blows that entire rotation because he can't keep his head on straight enough to impress anyone.

when he's put in charge of collecting the blood from the roof, he nearly steals from the cooler, there's so much chaos, no one would notice! just the thought confirms that hes a terrible person who deserves to waste away. he denies himself more. at the end of his shift, there's almost a full pint hanging there, unattached to anyone, left out for an indeterminate amount of time. leah didn't make it long enough for the full transfusion when they took her to the morgue to save space.

robby noticed him take it off the IV pole and pocket it. he's had a shit day and didn't want to deal with this but he was ragged enough to have no impulse control anymore. he'd have to yell at this medical student for selling it off and for his sick fetish or for whatever he would be stealing blood for. it really sucked because the kid was a good student and kinda saved him from himself but what the fuck was up with his go to guys stealing from the hospital right under his nose? 

he waits for him to duck out before following him, hoping to have this confrontation outside. this was sure to embarrass whitaker, and despite his annoyance, he didn't want to watch him be humiliated. 

he watches him go up to the eighth floor and takes a second in the hallway to compose himself before walking into his new favorite student puncturing the bag messily with fangs and drinking it with an almost reckless abandon. he clears his throat when it's clear the boy is too far gone to notice another presence. dennis freaks out and unlatches from the bag while squeezing it, getting the rest of the pint all over his scrubs. kid can't keep himself clean to save his life.

dennis starts crying immediately, not able to take the disappointed, judgmental look. or maybe it was his first meal in weeks being all over him. or maybe it was the absolute self loathing he felt at consuming blood. and well, robby just can't allow this.

he can't allow dennis to squat in this room. he can't allow dennis to swipe scraps of blood and put his career at risk. he can't allow patients to be at risk because dennis is obviously not doing this because he likes it. he certainly can't allow dennis to cry like this.

he goes full into daddy mode, shushing this fairytale monster like a lost kid, wiping the blood off of his chin, telling him everything will be ok.

he has a lapful of vampire and lips on his neck before the night is done. it all spirals from there.

thinking of Emily going on a walk with her daughter who is a chatterbox & who skips & bounces instead of walking regularly & she's like a ball of sunshine & every time Emily looks at her, she sees you cause you're the same & she thinks about how lucky she is to love the same person twice.

furthering my tlou x the pitt au. firefly doctor michael robinavitch x immune dennis whitaker. will Robby save humanity or save this angel-eyed boy? can't he have both? isn't there a way?

making excuses for more tests, more time, blue gloved hands lingering on pale skin. he'll figure it out, he's a damn good doctor. he has to figure it out.

shaking hands, desperate, torn and grief stricken and touchstarved Michael Robinavitch. earnest-eyed, lamb to the slaughter, pink cheeked and offering himself up Dennis Whitaker.

Modern SVSSS AU where Shen Yuan and Shang Qinghua are the sons of influential people. Maybe SY's dad is a well-known politician and SQH's is an arms dealer that he deals with in the shadows, something like that.

Because they're both home-bodies, they don't have a security detail outside of their estate's. That is, until they're kidnapped and held for ransom after they tried to go get boba once (the ONE TIME they try to hangout in the outside world).

Their fathers don't want to deal with that again, but they can't just hire any ole' bodyguards. No no, they have to make sure the bodyguards are physically incapable of betraying them. So what do they get?

Hybrids. Sold on the black market but not technically illegal due to the lacking rights they have in the first place.

Mobei-Jun and Luo Binghe specifically, though their tag numbers are FEL-19056 and CAN-76004 respectively. Mobei-Jun is a "high quality" feline hybrid, human mixed with the raw power of a snow leopard.

Meanwhile Luo Binghe was recommended due to his ruthlessness (Original LBH-coded). He's a feisty fucker, but knows when to hold back. LBH's a wolf-dog hybrid, though SY will eventually call him his "little sheep" because of how curly his hair and fur is.

They come with chips in their necks, and with one push of a button they can be electrocuted or killed should the occasion arise.

Ofc SY and SQH are against it at first. They're soft-hearted to the core, but their fathers are insistent. Thus they make it their missions to treat their new bodyguards (not pets) as kindly as possible.

Which, for SY, means shoving food and gifts at LBH like he's playing one of those farming sims with a NPC relationship system. For SQH, it means sniveling, offering blankets, and awkwardly trying to get MBJ to sit down, for the love of God.

call me crazy but,,,, thinking of exploring an AU where Irina doesn't kill herself when Ilya was a child.

I think Ilya would be a very different person. I think his brazenness and (apparent) lack of care about what other people think only really exists as a coping mechanism because he learned quickly that he shouldn't expect to be loved or cared for, but if his mama was around, then he would have never had to have learned that, right?

But he would still have to face his fathers abuse, and that would still leave its impact. Maybe he'd be more open, more willing to be vulnerable - but only with people who he thinks deserve it. Shane deserves it.

How does his relationship with Shane even form? I would imagine this Ilya has much less sexual experience and would not jork it in the showers. How would he react when Shane gets hard in the showers? Maybe he also gets hard, and he's nervous, obviously (this ilya has definitely not been with a man before - he wouldn't want to disappoint his mama). So Shane invites him to his room to talk about it - and Shane really does just want to talk about it, but somewhere the wires get crossed, Ilya thinks Shane wants to hook up (which he does, but that was not his intention), and so they end up hooking up anyway.

And then what? Can this Ilya really pretend to keep it casual? Obviously they can't have a relationship. Shane has all the same reasons, and Ilya has much more to lose now, but Ilya is... softer. maybe. Maybe he wants to spend more time getting to know Shane as a person? He's convincing himself that well, Shane's so great, maybe his mama could come around to it eventually. She loves Ilya, and she would love Shane too. She'd learn to be okay with it. They actually make plans to see each other outside of whenever the hockey season stars align, because well - why not? They both enjoy this, its fun, and they both know it can't be anything more (but like actually this time).

But then what happens to Irina when she is left all alone after Ilya leaves for Boston? In that house with her abusive predator of a husband and her son who has ended up just like his father. She calls Ilya of course, every week, but no one is around to notice when things get bad for her.

He goes home that first summer, and maybe he and Shane were actually planning to spend a week or two together near the end of summer, but he cancels because he knows something isn't right. He needs to stay with his mama. And then he has to go back to Boston - he tells Alexei he must keep an eye on her (and Ilya starts sending more money for him to do this). He doesn't. Things get worse. She dies just after Christmas. Pills.

It's his fault. Obviously. He never should have left Russia. He never should have left her alone there. He goes back to Russia and doesn't return for the rest of the hockey season. No one hears from him - not even Shane. He comes back in September a broken man. Not the sweet boy he used to be. Withered and aged and the spark in his eye is completely gone. Shane can't stand it.

Start of an idea that I want to eventually write! X-men/mutant au!

I was working on an au of Bagginshield as Cherick, but than I started to think what would their mutant abilities actually be?

For Bilbo, he is considered a thief in the shadows and he can easily sneak up on people going unnoticed. So abilities such as teleportation, superhuman agility, acute sense of hearing which all hobbit mutants would have, and being able to move quietly going unheard would make up his abilities. Plus a prehensile tail, because hobbits with tails are cool. So far my idea for how the one ring affects Bilbo's abilities is that it would make it so his other abilities are unusable and he can go invisible. The ring still has its normal corrupting effects, but also severely causes harm to the wearers mutant abilities.

For Thorin, its more simple. I see him being like Magneto and having the ability of magnetokinesis which includes ferrokinesis which is metal manipulation, metal sensing, etc. He along with other dwarf mutants would also have acute sense but of sight which would let them be able to see in the dark. So far my idea for how his dragon sickness affects his abilities is would make it so his abilities are hard to control being a danger to others, and nearly usable.

This is still a major work in progress, but here are some of my thoughts for the au so far. I will share more as I work on it!
