#vampire severus

Starting things off with my longest SSHG fic to date: Written in Blood. If you're looking for vampire Death Eaters, then I gotchu. Summary: When Voldemort's death unleashes a curse that turns the remaining Death Eaters into vampires, Severus Snape finds all new depths of self-loathing as he attempts to fight his own body for control. Will Hermione Granger's unexpected intrusion into his life help him keep the curse at bay? Or will she push past his shields and potentially bring it onto her own head?

Excerpt (from chapter 1, mind the above tags):

----

The soft pitter-pattering of rain was the only sound infringing upon the otherwise silent room in which Severus Snape stood as he stared out the window.  He liked the rain, it was both soothing and appealed to his still-new aversion to sunlight.  But he also hated the rain, because it tended to force him into unwelcome introspection; something he vehemently eschewed on a regular basis.  He frowned at his faintly visible reflection in the water-streaked glass, and fought the recollections threatening to breach the surface of his mind. 

Suddenly longing for the smell of petrichor, he Vanished the pane and stepped forward, tilting his face toward the sky and inhaling deeply.  His heightened senses picked up on the minutely higher acid content of the raindrops, the smell of freshly disturbed dirt from a wandering rabbit below, and that the barely-there wind was blowing in a Northeasterly direction. 

There was also, of course, the feel of hearts beating everywhere.  Small ones like the rabbit, larger ones like the family of deer grazing in the nearby woods, and those of his fellow occupants in Malfoy Manor - though the latter ones beat as slowly as his own.  The constant thrum of heartbeats were a daily annoyance for him, as he'd yet to determine how to fully block them out.  Sometimes he could make it more bearable, other times - usually when he let his hunger rise to dangerous levels - it pulsed through him until he fed. 

Which brought him to another thing he despised:  Feeding.  Through a large amount of trial and error, he'd concluded he could safely go a week at a time before needing to eat, and so that was how often he allowed himself to do it.  

Severus leaned slightly out the window, permitting a jaunty gust of wind to ruffle his hair in an attempt to quell his own self-disdain.  He'd spent the first three months after his Transformation desperately seeking a way to reverse the curse that turned him.  But when the grim inevitability had settled in, he'd instead begun searching for suitable blood alternatives. 

All attempts at synthesized blood - magical or otherwise - proved fruitless.  Animal blood at least dampened some of the hunger, but it didn't douse the maddening heartbeats.  Pre-harvested human blood was yet another step up, but was still lacking in regard to a true, lasting solution.  And so, the entirety of his efforts had culminated into the realization that should he wish to attain anything remotely resembling peace, he would have to drink straight from the source.

For the other man have this:

Sorry I’ve been quite busy with uni but don’t worry guys, autumn break is coming (¬‿¬)

Here is the lil poll thing I promised you guys<33

(Trying to work on my writing skills, quite nervous about this one lol, pls tell me what you think. English is not my first language so feel free to point out some weird wordings)

It’s been several weeks since anyone saw Severus around the castle. It was strange, even the students who hates him the most had to admit. He is the man of habits, never late from anywhere, particularly not from classes.

It was mid october, when sunny days slowly becomes shorter and shorter and change into long, dark nights. The temperature being colder by everyday, the trees dress up in their fanciest golden suits to welcome the awe inspiring autumn. One chilly night Lucius decided to go to the castle and ask around about Severus. He found it rather uncharacteristic from him to disappear whiteout a word. After he arrived, and was asking about him, since no one know anything , he turned towards the chambers. In the coldest and darkest part, he found him. But couldn’t been prepared himself for what he had seen. In the cold room, the only source of light was a candle on top of a round table. Sitting next to it, drinking a very suspicious dark red liquid from a vine glass, Severus. He was covered with this dark liquid, which Lucius examined further, was blood. With the flick of his wand, he tied him up. He didn’t show any sign of objection, he was rather calm. He looked at Lucius with his big deep dark eyes and said quietly - I’m sorry I haven’t sent you a word, but couldn’t risk it. I had to learn how to control my thirst for blood. Thirst for blood? - whispered the beautiful white haired man. I was to a mission by Dumbledore and from the shadows I bitten by a vampire Lucius. Spent these weeks training myself. Now I’m full control of my thirst. They stand in silence, listening of the sound of the burning candle. After a few minutes, Seveus asked gently. - May I ask you to set me free ?

Should Lucius set him free?
