Re: Secrets you can't be bothered making a secret for

[(Anonymous)]

I don’t know when this started to happen, but I’ve found myself cringing every time I see a vampire AU fanfic for any of my (het*) OTPs. I’m already bored by the standard “brooding yet masterful handsome loner” love interest that shows up in so many romance novels, and vampire fic usually dials that trope up to 11, then breaks the dial.

*the trope is obnoxious regardless of the genders involved

Yeah, the "dark, brooding, seductive, powerful vampire who enthralls his lover until they beg to be bitten (and fucked)" definitely seems to be the standard.

However, I have read the occasional exception to this. There is a Johnlock fic in which Sherlock is kind of a smol woobie and also a vampire, and it is fucking great.

Basically, this is an AU I love, but only when the author does some subverting of the standard tropes. Like, the one who's a vampire is self-conscious about it and a little scared that they're not in control. Meanwhile the human one is calm and collected and kind of a badass.

Sorry to say, but it completely, totally, extremely works for me if the vampire is a woman
