#alucard request

Request: "Hi! if it’s not to much, can you do an Alucard x fem! reader who tends to ball up her emotions? whenever she’s sad or frustrated she just keeps it all in. and then Alucard decides to ask her what's wrong and that’s her breaking point. idk if this makes sense but I hope it does! <3"

A/N: my apologies that this took me so long, things have been a bit hectic lately! I also made this gender neutral, I hope you don't mind.

(Y/N) had never been the most vocal when it came to expressing emotions and yet in the past weeks, Adrian had felt his partner drifting further and further from him. It had all begun with the shifting of the villagers into their newly established Țepeș-Belmont estate. Adrian had left (Y/N) behind to protect the knowledge stored in the vaults below the castle while he travelled to help the nearby village. When he returned, he did so with at least fifty villagers in tow.

Initially (Y/N) had seemed excited by the prospect of new people but this excitement had soon diminished. A sulky and stormy gloom had taken over (Y/N's) once sweet and beaming smile whenever Adrian spoke to them about matters pertaining to the villagers perhaps permanent residency. It had taken Adrian aback, (Y/N) were not one to turn away from helping those in need so to see them in such a state was unusual.

Naturally, Adrian decided the most logical decision was to simply ask (Y/N) what was wrong. So, on a warm afternoon not long into the stay of the villagers, Adrian plucked up the courage to lead (Y/N) away into the privacy of the castle. They had followed silently as he led them by the hand to his office and upon reaching the premise, had simply cocked an eyebrow at the dhampir. Adrian cleared his throat, "What's wrong? Ever since I came back with the villagers you’ve been distant."

(Y/N's) nostrils flared and they sharply inhaled as they rolled their shoulders back. "What's wrong? What's wrong! What do you think is wrong Adrian?" (Y/N) snapped fiercely at their partner. Adrian stepped back slightly, shocked by (Y/N's) sudden outburst. "This place was supposed to be our home, but you brought a bunch of strangers into without consulting me! It's not even the fact that you brought them here but that the two of you have excluded me from any decision made. Not to mention ever since you came back from the village you've spent all your time with that godforsaken woman! The only time I see you is when we go to bed!" (Y/N) angrily snarked. The flood gates had burst, and they would not be closed anytime soon.

Adrian opened his mouth to calmly retort before trailing off to think about what they had said. In this time a few stray tears of frustration had begun to trek down his love’s cheeks. "You're right. We decided to make this place our home; a center of knowledge from which we could teach the masses in Wallachia the knowledge of science. Instead, I invited the village to stay here, and Greta and I have made all of the decisions" Adrian conceded, "I know you've grown to care about the villagers, especially the children, and this is your home as much as mine. You have just as much right to make decisions about them staying here too. I do wish you had told me this sooner though, instead of bottling it all up" Adrian carefully stroked the tears away from their eyes before cupping their cheek in a comforting gesture. "And you don't have to be jealous of Greta. She's simply in charge in the village which is why I have spent so much time with her recently " Adrian assured, "after all we've been through together, you're the only one for me."

A/N: here you go @stay-hydrated-pls-ty I hope you enjoy it

Adrian watched as his wife's remains smoldered away, wood and bone turning to ash and splinters. While his father was away travelling, he had been left in charge of the castle. Foolishly he had agreed to her living in Targoviste with his mother, learning the science to become a doctor too. This had proved a tragic mistake; he could have taught his wife the science that his mother knew. Perhaps not quite as good but decently. The rest could have been learned from his father later when he returned. His wife had argued that it would be more practical to learn on the job, shadowing his mother would provide extra experience.

This had been fine until the medicine women had been put out of business by the two Ţepeş women. From then on, she had run to the church claiming that the two were witches who had consorted with Satan to bring death and destruction upon the world. The bishop had declared the two were to be investigated for your crimes and then burned at the stake as all witches were. After bidding goodbye to the last patient, the two of had seen, the church had forced past Lisa and into the back room where Alucard's wife was reading about medicine. The monks had smashed everything, lit the house on fire, and forced the two women out to the church to face punishment for their crimes of 'witchcraft.'

Lisa and his wife had begged for mercy, citing that what they were practicing was simply science lost to time and not witchcraft. Yet their pleas had fallen upon deaf ears. Each had been tied up on a pre-made pyre as the bishop sentenced them to death, condemning them to hell with all of Satan's other creatures and minions. A crowd of the very people that they had helped gathered and began to shout curses at the women, damning them for eternity. Then it had begun.

Lisa had cried out for her husband to be merciful to the village folk while Adrian's wife had simply sobbed as the flames licked closer at her. Sobs soon turned into screams of agony as the women slowly burned to death, their husbands oblivious to their fate. Adrian had been informed of his wife’s death by his father who had returned to the castle in a bitter and uncontrolled rage. Sadness swallowed the young dhampir as he thought of the horrid fate that the two of you had suffered and he rushed to the church.
