Trevorcard - this pairing is a good one, because it's the first moment Alucard acknowledges, and I think, accepts that a person can care about him despite his heritage. As in "let me help you find peace and comfort". Very friends to lovers vibes. I think it's sweet.

Alugrant - this one makes me giggle because I love the concept of frenemies to lovers. They would annoy the hell out of each other and then make-out to the confusion of others. And neither of them can explain why either. Feels like crackshipping but is it tho?

Hectorcard - this pairing is quite the vibe of "we both live in the same place, let's mess around" and it's fun. I also think they'd be good bonders over trauma.

Lyudcard - I usually prefer them friends, but I am obsessed with the idea of unrequited love they have for each other, but in the end, it's too late. Also we have legit vampire content happening with themes of possession and immortality. Very delicious for tragedy the most I fear.

Richtercard - I recall their conversations throughout GoS and I think it's remarkably similar to Trevorcard in the friends to lovers category. I still don't understand this one completely, but I can absolutely see the vision at least.

Mariacard - I have a particular soft spot for this one just because I can really see a lovely slowburn here. Maria helps teach him self-care and that he is allowed to be loved and to love where he is able. Very kind and sweet. Also has a feeling of a final love considering how Alucard becomes cold and distant Arikado in the future. Like it's the last time he'll allow these emotions to take serious root.

Alucard × Happiness - best one because he deserves it no matter the form of person or thing it takes.

And one of my favorite, yet unpopular ones: alugrant

Ericauner (?)

you know what? i respect dilf/dilf action. i get the picture

Brauner already stole his daughters, might as well get the whole package 😏

more seriously, you could see Brauner as the Dracula to Eric's Leon, I guess? As in, they both suffered deep loss, but Eric kept his heart while Brauner lost his humanity. That's always juicy

Alugrant

gives Grant some love

there is a certain appeal in pairing up the least human, most supernatural member of the Curse gang with the most human and normal. Grant is also a cool dude who might be put off by Alucard's princeliness only at first, before seeing that he grieves as much as he does. And Alucard would see in Grant the kind of person his mother wanted to help.

Heres SOME of MY Alucard ships!

YES!! I love Grant and Alucard. I used to roleplay Alucard here on tumblr but there was never anyone writing Grant when I was active haha.

I was sort of captivated by the dynamic of a princely Alucard who doesn’t have a lot experience with the world outside Dracula’s Castle and Grant as this man of the people who can introduce him to it. Who can help him feel more connected to his mother’s people.

though, I admit, I ship it mostly as a depressing “what could have been” thing that Alucard can never quite stop thinking about completely. Alucard leaves pretty soon after Dracula’s defeat to seal himself away. I think it would be only after SOTN, after Maria convinces him not to go back to sleep, that he would start thinking about what he might have had with Grant if he stayed.
