Bloodloathing royalty AU on my mind… Prince Scott and his personal knight Legundo
I have… a lot of thoughts regarding this idea and where it could go but I don’t wanna make this post too long lol. If you wanna hear me yap more tho please let me know, preferably in the askbox and I’ll try to get back to whatever you send in!
Scott’s the youngest heir to his kingdom’s throne, and not exactly happy about it, especially since he’s still expected to take part in his royal duties. Realistically he probably doesn’t get on with his parents very well, as while he’ll act proper and follow the basic royal protocol, he refuses to do much more than that since he doesn’t see the point. He’ll never be king anyway because of his two older sisters taking priority, and he’s already in his early 30’s. There’s a very low chance of him taking the throne.
His personal guards don’t tend to last for very long, a few months at most. Scott would rather do his own thing, alone, than be followed everywhere he goes by some irritating knight. Eventually, after he successfully drives yet another guard away from the job, he gets assigned a new one - Legundo.
Legs is a very stubborn man. He’s likely worked in the castle for years at this point, is a well respected knight known for his commitment and refusal to give in, and so his assignment to Scott is very purposeful. The reigning King and Queen and his superiors believe him to be the best man for the job, able to endure Scott’s bullshit and hold his ground.
As usual, when he’s given a new guard, Scott is not happy about it. He’s always trying to sneak away, annoy him, and fight back against his duty. But this is the first time someone hasn’t given in - Legs holds strong and is just as stubborn in his determination to protect Scott as Scott is to push him away and frustrate him enough to cause him to quit.
This only annoys him further, and he begins to hate him even more. Legundo is, likewise, frustrated with Scott, but he won’t let himself give up. He can’t give in too easily, and as annoyed with each other as they may get, neither will let themselves back down.
I can see this rivalry leading to some kind of altercation in which they’re overly close in proximity, and it stirs up some feelings in both of them. Feelings that were so buried by their frustrations with each other that neither noticed them until it was too late to eliminate them. And, very slowly over time, as the feelings persist, Scott starts to fight back against Legs less than he used to, and Legs is able to let go of some of his stoic exterior. It takes months (not including the early days of dislike), but they eventually begin to get along and bond, only deepening their feelings for each other.
At some point, though, despite their friendship, Legundo closes himself off again, and Scott wants to know why. It takes some fighting to dig up, but eventually he learns that the reason was because he was attempting to stifle his feelings for Scott. It’d gone too far, in his words, and he knew he had to end it, because they could never be together.
Scott refuses to accept this, and makes that very clear. He’s finally honest about his own feelings, and despite how much trouble it would get both of them in (and Legs’ being particularly concerned about them getting caught), they enter a secret relationship. Both of them know they have to be very careful, Legundo especially who is very tentative about the whole thing, but he’s fighting his fears in order to make Scott happy - and because he does genuinely really like him.
———
Some other thoughts - I do think the idea of Scott getting bitten by a vampire in this timeline would be fun. I also have Lizzie and Eloise in mind as his older sisters here (Lizzie eldest, Eloise middle) but I’m willing to take input on other people too! Even thoughts on those two and their involvement in the general story if you have anything

I know a lot of people go to bloodloathing for the toxic side of it, and I'm right there with you, but I personally love seeing how the sequence of events that would lead to a healthy(ish) bloodloathing would go.
Because I don't see a lot of it. I see them at each other's throats, I see Scott vreaking down Legs' will until he's nothing but a tool, I see legs indulging in violence against Scott because he doesn't want to hold back any more, but I don't see anything of Scott and Legs finding some way to exist around each other in a way that doesn't involve violence at every turn.
Ive always seen a more sane bloodloathing as being post canon in a sense where after 200 years, Legundo finally masters up the courage to see if Scott had changed. To see if he did right in his judgement to let a monster out of its cage to see if it could love. And trying so hard to set aside his biases and hatred for the chance. Just the chance that he could be right in the one decision he's never been able to shake off making as good or bad.
Its Scott seeing the doc as a voice of reason, even if he never was there. Thinking about this man, trying to do and be the same thing he needs to be now, how he did it and why he did anything he did. Trying and failing to reason through the doc's logic because it goes off of one thing Scott has never bothered giving a place at his table of decision-making: empathy. And once he makes that revelation, he tries as hard as a man like Scott can to do things like Legundo did.
To Legs, Scott is a warped dark mirror. The worst of what he was, is, and will be. So if Scott can do better, maybe he's done something right after all. To Scott Legs is an enigma of a reflection. He doesn't know why anyone would choose to do these things of their own accord, and he wants more than anything to understand why. Because for all his brooding, self-hatred, and general idiocy... the things he does brings him some form of peace. And peace is the one thing Scott has never gotten.
There's an audio that encapsulates how I think Scott would confess in that bloodloathing. No one uses the full thing even though it's awesome. Here's a video that has the full thing, idk where the original audio came from.
