Hiii! ur best anon here may please get a castlevania platonic relationship headcanon where reader is Dracula’s brother/sister ( with the Loki personality if possible ^^) and how they interact w/ their nephew 🥺🥺Anywho have a lovely day Mwahhh 💗💗✨✨

Hi best anon, it's a short request I'll indulge in myself heh... but had to make this a little tongue-in-cheek because I just love the 'grumpy uncle'

If brother:

You'd absolutely despise the change in Dracula that woman brought

at first

She'd win you over fast, Lisa has a knack for it (had Dracula smiling within minutes of meeting her etc)

Now they have offspring, wonderful... you'd roll your eyes often, but somehow end up supporting Lisa's delivery since Dracula had to be away and the baby came waaay earlier than anyone thought/planned. You cursed all the way, it's ok Lisa was cursing too

The new thing squealed so much, you wanted to be away from it as fast as possible

Ended up rocking the creature to sleep every other night, sitting in a chair and lazily nudging the cradle with your boot.

You've started calling him Adrian by force of habit. Like it or not, your dear brother now has a family. A part of you still thinks he'll regret it one day, but you keep your thoughts to yourself. His coffin, let him sleep in it and all that

So many questions once Adrian starts speaking, luckily you've read they grow up fast, literally in this case

He reads, reads all day now. And you, being the self-appointed librarian of the vast castle library, have no escape from questions yet again

You always scold him for beaming between the shelves and disturbing the book/scroll arrangements. Annoying pup.

Somewhere along the way, you've come to expect the questions, wondering where the kid is or if something's happened if he didn't show

Lisa teaches him biology, chemistry, human anatomy, his father goes for history, philosophy and languages

Guess you're the one training him now

He calls you uncle, which makes you feel odd. Your heart is dead, which makes it even funnier

He's good with the blade, for one so young. Catches on fast, the sapling

You end up enjoying teaching him the blade, techniques included. He won't need enchantment, he'll do well enough without it

Now you're proud of him. When the hell did that happen.

You tell him

And Adrian smiles, rushing to hug you.

The brat.

[fast forward a few years]

He beats you at chess

He beats you at Senet

He beats you at the Royal Game of Ur

You make it up to him during training

You see Vlad in him, when he was human, young, kind, responsible, and at peace, before the shadow took you both.

If sister:

A rare, impossible thing: your brother, drawn out of his stone-cold seclusion.

You watch them together from afar, he and his fair-haired apprentice, the threads of attraction and respect weaving around them tighter and tighter until none will be free of it.... you know its name, though you'd not experienced it yet, not before your turning, and not after.

A part of you is... content? Happiness is not a feeling you're acquainted with any longer. You'd asked for this, long ago, you think as you stare at your taloned hand. You'd asked Vlad to turn you so you could be together forever; so he would not be alone.

Now, he's no longer alone. He risks much by attempting humanity again, though his past is as dark as the pits of Tartarus and haunts him still. You'd never seen him so lively, as though a new breath of life had shaken him and the castle along through him, to its core.

When the child arrives, you keep your distance. Lisa had fearlessly approached you from the beginning, making no difference whether she spoke to a creature of the night or a human peddler. You'd grown fond of her, in your own way, but now she is always tired; Vlad is happier than he's ever been, and you find yourself throwing a sneering remark or other when seeing him hush the baby to sleep.

He's a grower, your nephew; never had you thought your family, such as it was, would flourish. And not in this manner, but here they are, the mortal and her improbable offspring with his pale curls and features reminding you of days long gone.

The Night is fair, you'd stopped missing the sun; though, sometimes you miss do the sunrise, and so you'd tell Adrian the nights he sought for you, out of loneliness or curiosity or both. You cannot read him, this child of both worlds.

"I will find a way for you to see the sunrise, aunt. I promise," he'd said, a child not even having reached adolescence.

You'd scoffed, and sent him off to bed.

While Lisa is away on unavoidable visits as part of her trade and Vlad is otherwise occupied, you spend time teaching him the forgotten language of the shadow people; he catches on fast. Intelligent, bright like his mother and persistent like his father.

Maybe this is a good turn of things, after all. Maybe it was not your fate to be alone forever, the two of you, with the struggles of the vampire world on your shoulders.

One breezy summer night, as you stare up at the waning moon, you hear a wisp and shift in the wind.

It's Adrian, flying and landing on the stone floor of the balcony, something in his hand.

Wordlessly, he extends it towards you. "I promised."

You stare, at what seems to be a... sunrise, real and alive, in pink and yellow and red, showering the dark green of the forest in bright yellow light.

It's a painting.

"Do you like it?"

You snort, but feel a smile pulling at your cold features.

Happiness is not a feeling you're acquainted with any longer.

But this, you think, is as close as it can get.

Alucard, 5, 23, 24 👀👀👀

U.U thank ye! Disclaimer I'll specifically be referring to showverse!Alucard (have completely different HCs for gameverse!Alucard).

5. My favorite ship of them

Urghhh so hard to pick! Judging by the number of Greta x Alucard fics I wrote (13) I do like seeing him with Greta! I think it would take a while, of course, for them to become close but it's there, the spark is there and he was so CUTE in S4 around her.

But a personal favorite chemistry in the 2017-2021 show has got to be Trevor x Alucard. I just love the enemies-to-friends vibe and I SEE the potential for more in the way they both want to kill each other and by the end care about each other (has written so much pwp on these two)

Alucard x Sypha is so underrated, love exploring that!

I also like him with #trephacard and in an #OT4. He deserves to be happy cuddled and soothed by all of them *cry*

See? Can't choose...

23. Future headcanon

I wasn't sure how far along in the future! I did wonder about what would happen after the S4 conclusion (if we go by the showverse canon). Technically, he has no reason to 'go to sleep' for centuries now.

The castle is there, the village will likely grow into a town unless a catastrophe befalls it and with all the knowledge in the Hold and castle, it's bound to become a center of knowledge as the years go by.

What about Alucard? Would he start a family, or stay away from all of that, knowing he'd have to watch them all die? Would he have descendants, stand by them as the years pass but then slowly slink away and disappear as times change and society evolves, leaving the castle as a sort of 'town heritage' for the people to mind? Head out into the world, a forever traveler? Not finished here, but these are the sort of thoughts I get

24. What do you think is a secret they have that they never told anyone?

That as a child he met Carmilla and she was the vampire who introduced him to the taste of blood (lmao this is literally a fic I wrote).

Character Ask Game

(doing this for Alucard, Trevor, Sypha, Greta, and anyone in The Silmarillion)
