Moonlight (2007) turns 20 next year (2027)

So I like to play around and crossover characters.

I would like to present two characters that are sassy, miserable monsters, in their own right.

First we have Mick St. John (Moonlight 2007).

He is a vampire turned in 1952. He currently works as a private investigator in Los Angeles. His whole thing is that he wants to help humans as best he can in order to make up for the monster he is by nature. He is not into drinking fresh blood and typically drinks donated blood.

And then we have Peter Hale (Teen Wolf 2011).

He is a born werewolf. Dude oscillates between villain and anti-hero. It sounds ridiculous but for him it works. It's almost a case by case basis (except for Stiles, but no one really understands that). He loves being a werewolf and his whole thing is about gaining knowledge and power.

Their interactions would be a masterclass in snark and cynicism. Peter's witty and sarcastic quips would clash with Mick's world-weary, noir-style voiceovers. Peter would make digs at Mick's self-imposed morality, while Mick would make withering observations about Peter's lack of a moral compass.

They would totally tick each other off enough to vamp/wolf out.

Both characters hold a cynical view of the world due to their long lives and traumatic pasts. They would find common ground in the belief that "the good guys" are often naive, and taking the moral high ground is not always effective.

Imagine them working together for some reason.

As a private detective with decades of experience, Mick's strengths lie in human-level detective work, observation, and accessing information through legal and vampire contacts. His vampiric senses, particularly his ability to track scents and glean details from the past through blood, would be invaluable for building a case.

Peter is a cunning and highly intelligent manipulator who uses his supernatural knowledge and combat prowess to achieve his goals. He would employ his connections to the broader supernatural community for information and use his predatory skills to deal with targets who cannot be handled through Mick's more ethical methods.

Peter would prefer a swift and ruthless approach, potentially using brute force or blackmail to get results. Mick would stick to his principles, favoring a clean and ethical solution. This difference would inevitably cause friction and arguments.

They might discover a shared emotional connection, such as Peter's protectiveness of his family and Mick's desire to protect the innocent. This could be the foundation for a grudging respect, showing that even with vastly different methods, they are both capable of defending others.

Josef: ...

Josef: What a stupid fucking quote.

Josef: I'm killing way more than two people, idiot.

I wonder if Gerald (the rouges sire, from episode 3) was actually able to sire before and he just never waited long enough for his creations to turn and he left them. Like he turned them and he like only waited around for five minutes or something.

Lestat would so try to lure Mick into his world of excess and celebrity, possibly offering him a place in his entourage.

Mick would probably reject this immediately.

Lestat would likely dismiss Mick as a "sentimental fool," while Mick would see Lestat as a "monster."

What's wild is that not only are they both performers, but were targeted and turned for being such.

Even though Louis was disappeared from the QotD film, Lestat would be well acquainted with the "Woe is me" style of being a vampire and would probably only tolerate it but for so long.
