Im lore dropping about vampire au ciel/rio right here because HEHEHHEHEHEHEHE I'VE BEEN THINKING ABOUT ITTT SO MUCH
Rio comes from a long line of vampire hunters instead of a royal family y'know, its the family business he is expected to participate in, and as like a coming of age thing he's sent out to kill his first vampire (ciel) putting rio roughly around 20-22 in this au in my mind, silvio is like, a renowned vampire hunter who killed his first one while still a teen (roughly 14 years old) but despite that is more focused on the like,,, money and business side of this because well, its silvio, emidio and rio both live in silvios shadow pretty much, i haven't thought out everything about the family yet, but i want to think thay silvios mother killed herself due to being caught conspiring with the vampires and stuff
Ciel is about 200ish years old, not born a vampire she was a servant girl for a noble family that was hiding a vampire cult (a family really, im debating making this like,, the rhodolites prince's and made up extended family)and was slowly feeding on the servants, ciel still human at this point has a type of love afair with one of the sons in this vampire family and was turned, being a type of bride to the vampire, similarly yo regular ciel she's consistently had her hair short until this point, and continues to maintain it as such until about 2 years later the wntire family is murdered by bampire hunterssss, drumrollllllll,,,, its rios ancestors cause this is still like 170-180 years before him
Ciel and her (at the time) lover escape but with him significantly wounded, and so he dies not long after
Ciel abandons the mansion for approximately 100 years before going back to it a now fully fledge vampire capable of taking care of herself, because before this she relied on the clan she'd once worked for and then became a part of, in this time she completely stops cutting her hair and lets it grow out, as long as possible, because hair holds memories and she will not give away the memories of her former love, come modern day (whatever year im setting this in my brain wants to say lije 1800s,, maybe on the later side) ciels lived here ever since moantly unbothered by humans, feeding off of any who come near, animals as well and stuff, until rio.
In the last decade ciel has become hungrier. Humans going missing and dyeing at alarming rates so of course the ricci family would take care of it, as the greatest vampire hunters in the country (or continent i dunno) but time and time again the campire hunters they send die, though they never sent any in the direct family (silvio, emidio, rio or their dad) because those are the heirs to this company
But after so long of ciel being a problem and soon after rio confronted silvios and emidios mother about her conspiring with the vampires, emidio looking for revenge against his younger half brother manages to convince alfio to send his youngest son to deal with her, emidio also managing to get silvios backing for this idea (still figuring out how he got silvio to agree but pfffsheee whatever)
Its decided that rio's true initiation into this family (as a vampire hunter) would be to kill her, as she's on the younger side of a vampire and not of pure vampiric blood, its assumed she'd be,,, easy, well, not EASY but she shouldn't be overly difficult for rio, cause y'know he's his fathers son and that logic
So off he goes to kill her, only to end up as a missing persons case himself, he goes missing "officially" before even reaching the mansion, but he was indeed caught by ciel
She had originally intended to kill and feed on him right then and there but something about him made her curious, she keeps him kinda like a pet, theres this cat and mouse game over who will kill who first, as he's trapped in this mansion quickly falling in love with his captor as she ginds great entertainment in these games, slowly feeding on him as not to kill but enough to hurt him as vampire bites aren't a pleasurable thing to do
Im not reading over this so sorry for any errors, i also like,, typed this as i went
I've thought about it alot over the last fewdays but this is my first time writting/organizing it
I SURE DID ENJOY IT! OH MY GOD. THE POTENTIAL FOR TENSION THERE. THE IMPENDING TRAGEDY, AS THERE'S NO ENDING IN WHICH EVERYBODY IS HAPPY. I LOVE IT!!!! THANK YOU FOR SHARING!
