#vampire!mercy

“ It is not what you think..”  

Although, the warm blood that dripped from her lips, along with the passed out guy below her, made it pretty obvious. She had used someone to feed from. Someone she barely knew in fact. But what else could she do? Starve? 

Inspired by @dragonspaceprince, who mentioned Vampire!Mercy in a conversation and I haven’t been able to stop thinking about it since. So here you go!  ❤️

Had to quit her job for some time after being changed while she fought her desire for blood.

Trained herself to ignore the scent of blood so she could return to being a healer.

Struggles with her instinctual urge to attack the wounded rather than heal them, but has never given in to that temptation.

Uses her position as a doctor to get blood without having to hurt anyone (stealing is better than killing, right?)

Bonded with werewolf!McCree over their mutual desire to remain as humane as possible.

Has days where she won’t even get out of bed because she can’t bear to face what she’s become.

Is heavily supported by Genji, who knows what it’s like to endure internal self-loathing.

When Angela tells Genji to give up on her, Genji refuses by telling her “you helped me, now I will help you.”

Uses her abilities to detect blood-borne diseases in her patients.

Helps Jesse recover (both physically and emotionally) after particularly rough full moons.

Spent years searching for a cure to vampirism (and lycanthropy) before finally coming to terms with her (and Jesse’s) fate.

“I don’t understand why you didn’t just come to me like you always do,” you mumbled. You had walked into the cellar to find Mercy huddled in a corner, drinking blood out of a bag she took from the hospital.

“I’m sorry. You weren’t here and I was desperate, otherwise I would have come to you straight away,” she explained. She looked adorable, her pupils wide with guilt and blood staining the corner of her lip. You knew you couldn’t stay mad at her for long.

“It’s alright,” you sighed. “But you know how it makes me feel,” you said with a frown. “The fact that you couldn’t wait for me so you just drank some random person’s blood.”

MAN. THIS IS MY SHIT.

fucking vampire! mercy who’s been around for a long damn time and her impression of humanity has weakened because of wars and bickering?? but at the same time like, she’s immortal, she knows she could do good in the world, some good because of what she is. she tries her damn hardest to save and help those who need it, but sometimes makes horrible fucking mistakes.
