National Vampire’s Christmas Vacation: All Together Now by roxy_svl
Fandoms: Cirque du Freak | The Saga of Darren Shan - Darren Shan
24 Dec 2024
Tags
Summary
Set 3 years after Bloodline. The war is over. The clans are at peace. Darren and Darius Shan have been travelling the world as full-time members of the Cirque Du Freak ever since. Darren gets it in his head that it might be nice to get everyone (literally everyone) together for the Cirque’s annual Festivus Feast. I don’t know what Darren expected. And when everyone shows up except for the one vampire that really *should* be there, Darren doesn’t know what he expected either.
TLDR: what we have here is the lore of the Dirty Chai AU with the energy of The Vampire Files adapted by the Hallmark studio.
[If you think this sounds fun but haven’t read Bloodline, there’s a full-spoiler plot summary pinned to my tumblr to give you the backstory and context of how we all got here, link in ch1]

Summary
Sequel to This Is Us. Prequel to Bloodline / semicanon Vampire Mountain arc.
*.·:·.✧ ✦ ✧.·:·.*
“Our coming-of-age has come and gone
Suddenly the summer, it's clear
I never had the courage of my convictions
As long as danger is near
And it's just around the corner, darling
'Cause it lives in me
No, I could never give you peace”
*.·:·.✧ ✦ ✧.·:·.*So begins the aftermath of a moment of chaotic weakness that cumulated in a raspberry liquor-flavoured kiss and a great deal of panicked introspection. Mika and Kurda distance themselves and long for the nights when the stifling tension between them was only political.
The silver lining? That orphan human baby they found is almost old enough to go to boarding school, thus bringing this era of forced proximity to an end.
Then everything will finally go back to normal.

Summer Jobs: Pardon Our Progress
⋆⁺₊⋆ ☾𖤓 ⋆⁺₊⋆
Following the conclusion of Bloodline, Arrow spends a few extra days at the Smahlt-Ver Leth seaside cabin. Three short stories within a short story.
1) Kurda and Arrow bond over how absolutely fucking atrocious Mika is at any sort of handiwork. Like, he's so bad you'd swear he's doing it on purp-- wait a minute.
2) Mika and Arrow bond over, well, nothing really. When have they ever needed a point of reference?
3) Arrow faces one of his greatest fears: the ocean. (Don't laugh).

Summary
• COMPLETE
• CH 1 - 3 now rewritten + more to come
• Better summary on page 1Continuation of This Is Us+Inevitably. Kurda retreats into exile. The War of the Scars begins. Shattered and betrayed, Mika forces himself to be a rock for the clan in their darkest hour. Little does he know the painful truth that haunts him is incomplete. Meanwhile, Darren struggles to fill a role nothing could’ve prepared him for. Gracie finds peace and fulfillment in the world of humans - until her father’s war hits too close to home. And while Destiny watches, his own daughter makes moves to beat him at his own game. Runs parallel to books 6-9 til an intervention in the Cavern Of Retribution brings Kurda back to the place he thought he’d never set foot in again. While the two clans grasp at peace, the Vampaneze Lord siezes an opportunity to orchestrate an attack on Vampire Mountain itself - from the inside out. Alternating POVs but heavily Mika-leaning. Steve & co don't show up til the third act.
♚ ♚ ♚
As of May 2024, Act 1 rewrites will be ongoing. I spent such a long time on this story I actually learned how to write somewhere around the middle. If you’ve got time, the payout is worth it. ♡

Daughter of Destiny Outtakes by Emberstreak

Summary
These are a series of drabbles, I guess. It's like scenes I was planning on putting into Daughter of Destiny, but I either removed it or just decided not to include it for whatever reason.
Idk how long each will be or how often I'll update but here's some garbage. So have fun reading my brainrot because apparently I can't let go of this stupid fic.

Summary
Basically, there are 50 sentences, and 1 theme for each of them, but there'll be one huge theme for each chapter. If you got that... If you didn't, just skim the first chapter of the fic and you'll understand. I'll sporadically change between that and five random, short drabbles.
I'll try to be original and interesting with this, but honestly I'll just pretend like I'm not four days late and didn't just scramble to randomly get this idea, and on top of that barely have time for this(because family and work and all that), but not only that... I don't know how I'll fare with writing Vancha...
Hope you enjoy!

National Vampire's Christmas Vacation by roxy_svl
Fandoms: Cirque du Freak | The Saga of Darren Shan - Darren Shan
23 Dec 2022
Tags
Summary
It’s been almost a year since the War of the Scars ended. Darren’s plans to spend Christmas with his family ends up involving more family than he bargained for. (Hallelujah! Holy shit! Where's the Tylenol?) Meanwhile back in Vampire Mountain, upper management decides to cobble together something that vaguely resembles a holiday party to show their appreciation for the staff. At least that’s how they rationalize it. (And when Santa opens the doors to the Hall of Princes, he's gonna find the jolliest bunch of a-holes this side of the arctic circle).
12 days of Christmas. 12 interconnected short stories from multiple POVs celebrating familial and platonic love, alternating between Vampire Mountain and the Shan homestead. Takes place in the time jump between Bloodline chapters 31 / 32. Obvious spoilers for that. You *can* read this story if you haven’t read Bloodline. It just won’t make any sense and you’ll have a bad time.

Summary
Deleted scene from Bloodline chapter 27, piggybacking off the brief encounter between Mika and General Hale during a moment when Arrow has a minor identity crisis while the clan is on the verge of peace with the vampaneze.
A conversation (intervention?) with Arrow, told from Hale's POV.
***
Preview:
"Half this clan supports me because I fought my way back from the edge. And the other half because of how many vampaneze I took with me to the edge.” Arrow added with a bitter laugh. "No matter how you look at it, Sarah’s the reason I have a throne in the Hall of Princes.”
“That wasn’t a fair trade. I know.” Said Kaden softly. Suddenly her hand was no longer on Arrow’s arm, instead her fingers found their way into his much larger ones. And his eyes found hers again, hazel pools of grief.
“Hale, I made a name for myself trying to destroy an entire clan because of the one man who took her from me.” Arrow whispered. “Who am I to lead us into a new era of peace when my legacy is bloodshed?”
