Summary
After defeating Krampus, Legundo has everything he could ever need: a safe place to sleep, a steady source of food, people he trusts. (People he loves.) He would never ask for anything more.
Maybe it's time for that to change - and maybe he isn't the only one with something they're hiding.

Summary
He pulled away from Owen, turning unerringly to look at where he heard the sounds. Too many for deer, and too clumsy. Humans— no vampire would be heard walking through the forest.
Owen heard it at the same moment Louis did, a growl pouring from him that was so cold and furious that it sent a shiver down Louis' spine, his body becoming tense as a cat about to leap.
"Transform," Louis commanded, and Owen turned his eyes from the treeline to him, looking shocked. His mouth was still pulled into a snarl, brows drawn together indignantly.
"What? No—"
Louis tightened his grip on Owen's hair, and put a thrum in his voice that he did not want to use. "Transform, now."

Summary
“I wish you’d been my sire. You’re not so… distracted.” Pyro admitted, imagining it. Owen wouldn’t treasure him, he wouldn’t expect that. But Owen didn’t feel anything towards anyone, there would be no one for him to be jealous of.
The long haired vampire paused. “I would’ve ignored you. And I would’ve hated being called a sire.” Owen picked up a stick, breaking it into little pieces as he spoke.
Pyro couldn’t help imagining himself as that stick, fractured and tiny in someone else’s palms.
“You’d have at least let me be free, instead of making me some kind of unwanted servant”
or
Exhausted from fighting for his sire’s attention, Pyro finds their way to Owen.

“I would like to advise you travel with Owen.”
“I can’t do that.” Legundo’s reply was instantaneous.
The barrier has come down, and the people of Oakhurst are free. Legundo was told nothing more.
But he will never be free. Not so long as he carries the sins of his past—as well as a certain vampire he’s obliged to have accompany him.-—-

Summary
"My, you have been busy," Scott said, and Legundo did not look at Scott's eyes— shut them in fact, when Scott grabbed his chin and forced his face forward. He could smell that cold breath now, like a funeral parlor, and pulled away with a grimace, hand moving to his belt—
Scott snatched that up as well, and with a twist and a surge of inhuman strength, pressed Legundo flat to the table. His breath left him in a rush, and Scott laughed.
Scott was shorter than Legundo, and much lighter as well. The only thing keeping him planted on the ground was his own body weight, and Legundo had the advantage of leverage.
He still had a hand free. Legundo grabbed on to the collar of Scott's elegant coat, and put a knee into the vampire's stomach. He had the satisfaction of seeing surprise in Scott's eyes— before he was handily thrown clean off of Legundo, and over the far side of the table.
He would not get the element of surprise again.
(Or; Legundo gets bit by EVERY Vampire at some point or another, for varying reasons.)

Summary
Avid convinced himself to go back to town six times as he stumbled through the underbrush, tripping over rotten logs and smacking his face into needled branches. But each time he turned to go back (because being alone in these woods was stupid) he saw Sausage avert his eyes, Martyn shrug with an apologetic wince, and Drift stare at him silently.

Avid doesn't go back to Oakhurst.

Summary
“Are you telling me you enjoy when I feed from you?”
“I…seem to have developed a taste for it, yes.”
Owen barks out a laugh. “Your survival instincts are terrible, doctor.”
“I have been trying to set this feeling aside,” Legs confesses. “It’s unhelpful, but persistent. I didn’t realize you’d be able to pick up on it.”
Owen can’t help himself. He stands directly over Legs, undoing the top two buttons of his shirt and pulling the collar aside. Usually he affords the doctor the courtesy of doing so himself, but this time he wants to test a theory. Sure enough, Legs’ pulse spikes. “If I fed from you right now, would you enjoy it?”
He says, voice just slightly strained, “I think you know the answer.”

Summary
The man hovering over him leaned back, releasing Grian completely. Cold night air rushed in to fill the void.
“I guess it’s out in the open now,” the stranger hummed. “Shame. I wanted to avoid this.”
With the additional glow occupying the space between them, Grian was finally able to catch features that were lost in the prior darkness. His curiosity outweighed all else, and he drank them in greedily. As soon as he saw who sat across from him, alarms blared in his mind.
This man wasn’t a civilian, wasn’t even a hero.
“Hello, Doctor,” the villain mused. “You were quite the help today.”

Grian is a vet. After a chance encounter in the dead of night, during which he accidentally saves a villain from the brink of death, he suddenly finds himself entangled in a world beyond anything he could've ever imagined.
