Vampire Cars at a Private Pub

*Takes places after the events of the Vampire Cars 2 AU*

Pub song has my most favorite verse lyrics in Neath! a Fallen London Song by The Stupdendium. At about 7:48.

Every now and then, the vampiric WGP racers and C.H.R.O.M.E spy often find themselves in a pub that is set deep underground, far from the scorching sunlight (as if London could get sunny but no one wants to risk that after the Buckingham Palace incident). Mostly to commiserate on their unrunning state.

Leland Turbo starts off the song after a sip of both Rod and Finn's donor fuel. The bluish gray eyes wavering in melancholic determination as the spy car set his glass down with a sigh.

"Every worried soul in this sorry hole. Lost, forgotten and with all tomorrows stole."

Raoul Caroule then picks up the song, Shu's donor fuel now with the hint of the sweet blossoms of his home country. Hints of resentment and vengeance flicker blood red flecks in the icy blue.

"Dead and buried but the dead are very much aware of it and hell, they've paid a horrid toll."

Max his best friend rubs a tire on his elongated wing mirrors. His own raspberry hued eyes shifting slowly to his once previous indigo as he nursed a pint of Nigel's fuel.

"How'd we'd come to be? Down here underneath? Doubt we'll ever feel the sun upon our cheeks."

Carla scoffs as she downs Miguel's fuel in one fell swoop, her blue green paint job creating frost in proximity on her glass.

"Never see another summer but we've one another lust or comfort, love or some relief."

Lewis grumbles under his breath as he tried to focus on the bright sunny smile of Jeff (not just when the engine hitched and sent that mouthwatering aroma into his vents), toying with his own glass of donor fuel.

"Someone to hold me tightly. Someone to treat me rightly. Someone to come down to shun the ennui and boredom."

Long Ge helpfully added his own commentary, sharp electric blue eyes and slitted pupils as he swiped a streak of Vitaly's fuel with a forked tongue off his bumper.

"With one to hold me closely nights mightn't be so lonely. Stranded helpless in the dark and reaching for them."

Francesco's vulnerability was seen in just a millisecond but soon his typical Italian bravado was drawn over his face like a sheet over a cadaver. Although none of the other patrons in the pub bought that for even an instant as he sipped delicately at Sally and Lightning's fuel.

"London town laid to rest underground, but still yet deeper down are we falling, falling, falling, falling."

All of the vampiric cars join in as one at the conclusion of the song, clinking their drinks together to toast their unrunning lives.

Vampire Cars 2 Au

TW for canon-typical violence, gruesome deaths, vampires eating and car sexy times

Basically Cars 2 rated R with vampirs

Through one way or another, the majority of the European WGP racers became vampires (Raoul, Max, Lewis, Francesco and for some reason Long Ge is there). They formed their little vampire support group in secret after the Tokyo party after they discovered they were vampires. Raoul fills them in on the lore behind vampire cars.

Donor cars to each of them were either loving relationships made before the WGP (Raoul and Shu, Lewis and Jeff), or during the race out of convenience that might become love (Max and Nigel, Long Ge and Vitaly, and with much reluctance Francesco and Lightning)

The remaining WGP racers that are not vampires or donors (Rip, Carla, Miguel,Frosty, Flash, and Memo) are brought into the loop and agree to keep the conditions a secret from Miles. Rip is terrified at first (New Rearendia is full of stories of fuelthirsty vampire cars) but does come around to help.

Raoul died to come back as a quite feral vampire (nurses quite a grudge against the lemons that killed him before the WGP)

Max just woke up as a vampire and on fire as he forgot to close his curtains from crashing after three straight days of engineering

Lewis and Francesco however were more subtle in their transformations.

Teeth started getting sharper,internal temperature started dropping to single degrees Celsius, sunlight causes rapid rusting and eye sensitivity increases along with other senses. Racing fuel isn't cutting to fill them up and they are starting to eye a little more hungrier at some of the American racers.

All of the vampire cars can smell that something is off about the Allinol but can't quite exactly name why. Also tastes odd when they feed from donors who used Allinol

Meanwhile C.H.R.O.M.E are still investigating the lemons and Allinol along with La Béte du Alsace tha wiped out an entire lemon family

La Béte is none other than Raoul, still in his berserker hunger state before Shu found him and calmed him down. Okay maybe the Hugo familicide was after Raoul calmed down.

Lightning and Mater get dragged into the vampire cars support group one day and both of them think that this one extensive kinky roleplay that Europeans cars are into

Leland gets uncubed ala Christine and goes on a rampage on the lemon's oil drill as a new vampire car. His beacon is reactivated and Finn is starting to have hope for his love

Rod Redline is spared from his death when Grem and Acer are brutally devoured by a peckish Raoul. They had interrupted his quickie with Shu in the bathroom after Mile's speech and were spared from his piss kink and Mater's subsequent humiliation.

He is further confused when La Béte du Alsace kisses him with his vampire fuel, helping him significantly recover and escape the lemons pursuing him.

Holley stumbles upon the scene out of Hostel, only with vampire Raoul tearing out Grem's engine and feasting on it. Luckily she maintains her composure as she confirms she's with Finn to the American spy.

Meanwhile during the bathroom fight, Mater's toilet troubles are loud as hell which is convenient hiding vampire car eating lemons noises .

The exchange happens without a hitch and Holley returns back to Finn shaken but still determined. Then when Mater is accosted by the lemons, she's the one who fends them off. She now knows that Mater isn't the American spy, but still needs his expertise in the machinery.

Vampire! Raoul Caroule is even more dangerous that he accidentally recalls some of his Cirque du Voiture training and incorporates it as part of his hunting strategies and tactics

Uses ventriloquism to throw his voice or making noises either further or closer to the lemons to lure them out and get stragglers

Also does a fair bit of voice mimicry as bait to lure out lemons from their bases and to trick them into inviting him in

More comfortable dragging his prey up trees like a leopard and feasting in privacy and either leaving the corpse on the branches or just dropping them on top of the lemon search parties

Often uses sleight of hand tracks to psyche out and distract attackers and then goes for the car equivalent of the jugular

Contorts his frame to squeeze into tight spaces to avoid the sun and hide from pursuers

Can traverse very narrow paths and high places even more easily with help of his tire spikes (trapeze and tightrope walking )

Pet Play but with a Vampire (Wolf Play for monsters?) TW for slight amount of blood, teethies with fangs,

On this particular night, Raoul Caroule doesn't feel like going out on his nightly roaming sessions. Just wants to lay on the bed, let Shu-chan scratch his bat like ears and occasionally opens his fanged mouth and the freezing tongue weave through the warm fingers.

A fingertip would brush against a needle tip, just enough to dent the skin but not drawing blood. In Shu's other hand, he cradled Sheridan Le Fanu's Carmilla reading the many conversations between the poor ingenue Laura and Countess Karnstein.

“I have been in love with no one, and never shall," she whispered, "unless it should be with you." How beautiful she looked in the moonlight! Shy and strange was the look with which she quickly hid her face in my neck and hair, with tumultuous sighs, that seemed almost to sob, and pressed in mine a hand that trembled. Her soft cheek was glowing against mine. "Darling, darling," she murmured, "I live in you; and you would die for me, I love you so." I started from her.

A low growl from the French vampire as the freezing tongue located a paper cut on one of Shu's fingers, the claret red blood dripping slowly down the cavernous throat. The leathery wings fluttered and the collar wrapped around the pale sallow neck jingled quietly. A little dog tag and a bat charm flitting in and out from view as the open book was marked with a bookmark as the calloused fingers brushed the connection where Rao-kun's wings and his back met. The shallow cut had already healed, the freezing cold saliva smeared on cadaverous skin.

"You will think me cruel, very selfish, but love is always selfish; the more ardent the more selfish. How jealous I am you cannot know. You must come with me, loving me, to death; or else hate me and still come with me. and hating me through death and after. There is no such word as indifference in my apathetic nature."

Shu watched with dark brown eyes as the icy blue slitted eyes stared directly back at him. A clawed foot was stretched and the bright silver hair was ruffled.

La Bête du Alsace

Got a fun little thing about Spirou et Fantasio and my humanized Vampire Cars 2 AU crossover.

TW for vampire feeding behavior, graphic violence

Spirou and Fantasio are sent to investigate the suspicious deaths surrounding the Vosges mountain range. All of the victims were found heavily mangled with jagged claw marks and fully drained of blood. Both journalists think that a serial killer is on the loose with a heavy vampire theme.

That gets put to the test, when upon further investigation, all of the deaths started after the death of Raoul Çaroule, the famed rally racer who supposedly died in an accident and the deaths happen within days or even hours between them. The times of the deaths when placed together, happened just after the sun dips below the horizon or in the few minutes before the dawn. Almost like whomever was constantly on the move, actively hunting for the victims like a starved animal and only during times of night. Also that every single person killed had connections to the criminal syndicate the Lemons, more specifically multiple members of the Hugo family that were hiding in the French mountains refining the Allinol for the upcoming WGP.

Much too rapid for a single person to cover that much ground even with police covering every single road in Alsace region and still no sign of the killer from any witnesses. The serial killer theory has more holes poked into them when tracks are discovered and are found to be more quadrupedal than bipedal but with clawed toes on a humanoid shaped foot. Even more so are the markings left on the trees at the site of the killings, whose dimensions and locations are comparable to the ones made by raptor talons.

Both Spirou and Fantasio are beginning to fear for each other until an anonymous tip tells them to meet them at the Mont Saint Odile at a private cottage to show them the truth of the murders and to come alone. The journalists can even hear the heavy flapping of wings, a low bestial growl, a soft "Rao-kun" in the call and trying to trace the number only leads to a burner cell.

Shu Todoroki has a story to spin and need their help to finally end the reign of La Bête du Alsace.
