Summary
“What are you talking about?” Grace's fingers played quick chords as he spoke. He didn’t even look as he did it, but it did not make them any less purposeful.
“Discussing possible reasons why Tau Ceti is not infected while other stars are,” Eva replied deftly. “I would invite you to join, but we were just finishing—”
“Oh, that’s easy.” His hand twisted a knob, and the notes came out sharper. “It is infected—Petrova Line and everything.”
In Grace's opinion, dreaming about time traveling is no excuse for getting out of practice with his Eridian. To the rest of the Petrova Taskforce, it seems a bit odd that their resident Astrophage expert has suddenly taken to carrying a keyboard around and playing it whenever he speaks. Eva Stratt resolves to figure out what is going on.

Summary
He was gone. What was the point?
...
And then the tar below Owen splits, like a mouth, like the parting of waves, tunnels down and down and down and down and… is that… light?__
A post-canon revival story, and a long winded answer to the question ‘what would it take to get better?’

12 - one chapter in and bookmarking the hell out of this thing. Beautiful writing. Legs and Owen dig themselves out of the grave 200 years later. Also the BBEG is Avid, which is fun.

Summary
After the death of Reiah and Alaric Veylocke, a vampiric Morcant takes in a young Abolish. Not out of kindness, or grief, or even common decency.
No. Morcant has a purpose. It's simple. Efficient. Brutal. But, luckily for Morcant, he's never truly cared much for the mewling mortals he shares this existential plane with - what difference will raising one more lamb to the slaughter make?
After all, it's not like he's going to become attached.
An almost-au "what if", set just within the limits of plausible canon.

Summary
It's 1988. Grian and Mumbo are roommates living in the US. Mumbo leaves on a solo camping trip at Grian's suggestion to get away from his job for a while. But when he fails to check in at the end of his trip, Grian is forced to report him as a missing person. And now the clock is ticking.
It's 1989. Grian takes a job in Shoshone National Forest as a fire lookout, prepared to spend the summer alone in the wilderness. But his primary goal isn't finding forest fires: it's finding Mumbo, who went missing in this location a year ago, alive and well. He expects to be alone. What Grian doesn't expect is having the company of the other nearby lookout, a man named Scar. Their relationship grows through their conversations held via two-way radio, as Grian begins to let Scar into the truth about why he's really here and mystery he's unraveling.
A Hermitcraft Firewatch AU.

Bookmarker's Notes
First chapter has me hooked. Beautiful descriptive language, great little mystery to drive the plot. Plus, it’s set in a fire tower in the late 80s, which has to be one of the coolest settings *ever*.
One of those fics that deserve a re-read sometime. Absolutely phenomenal work about the nature of grief and the process of grieving.

Summary
Former title: Truth is in the Blood
The end of Episode 7 is beautiful and awful and right for the story, but when I wiped away my tears I still wanted to see the dynamics of a thousand-year-old vampire and a crazy kid. Both of them are a total mess in different ways, but for their fleeting moment, it looked like they might be messed up in ways that could help each other become better. You'd have to be crazy to love a monster.
There are many fics in Vampires SMP about unkilling Avid. This is mine. A lot of Avid Lives fics are about giving him and Scott a happy ending. I think of mine as giving them a messy, deeply flawed, but hopeful beginning.

Summary
Legundo held him fast although he writhed, looking down through those dark lenses. Owen could not see his own reflection in them— vampires did not have reflections. But he saw the red moon, and the black forest, and it looked like eyes.
"I find you very fascinating Owen. As I said, I've traveled very far and seen many things, but you're a bit of an oddity. Goldsmith, now there's a dime a dozen. If I had an obol for every noble vampire with a penchant for massacre, why, I'd be a very rich man."
Legundo sounded conversational. The bastard was as strong as a granite cliff side— Owen yanked as hard as he could and although Legundo's mouth pursed with effort, there was no breaking loose. Owen was smaller, and weak from hunger besides.
"I had hoped to study your sire, Louis," and Owen had to acknowledge the fear now, ice cold in his stomach where the hunger nested with it. "But it seems he is no longer with us. You have my condolences, of course—"
"Shut your fucking mouth," Owen snarled, and then screamed in fury when Legundo sighed, and started pressing Owen down to the ground.

Summary
200 years has passed since Oakhurst. Abolish has not aknowledged those emotions much at all since then. Abolish does not think about reincarnation. He chooses not to entertain the idea.
Legundo is a doctor in New York, living with his roommate and working nights. Constantly plagued by nightmares of vampires and familiar deaths of people he has never met before. But feel so familiar.
As he sets down his things he reaches a hand over the table.
“I'm Legundo, by the way. Or Legs for short”
The name sends Abolish nearly teetering over the edge of the sea of emotions he has kept under lock and key for centuries. He reaches out a hand to shake the man's hand instead. Forcing himself to keep any shaking under control.
“Abolish” he replies. -

Summary
He pulled away from Owen, turning unerringly to look at where he heard the sounds. Too many for deer, and too clumsy. Humans— no vampire would be heard walking through the forest.
Owen heard it at the same moment Louis did, a growl pouring from him that was so cold and furious that it sent a shiver down Louis' spine, his body becoming tense as a cat about to leap.
"Transform," Louis commanded, and Owen turned his eyes from the treeline to him, looking shocked. His mouth was still pulled into a snarl, brows drawn together indignantly.
"What? No—"
Louis tightened his grip on Owen's hair, and put a thrum in his voice that he did not want to use. "Transform, now."

Summary
Sometimes, in the quiet hours between dusk and dark, Owen found himself remembering what it felt like to be seen. Not as something fragile. Not as something temporary. But as someone worth choosing.
He didn’t know what frightened him more, that it had happened at all,
or that it could happen again.While this is ongoing, the tags will be updated. Please make sure to check them.

Summary
The thing that wears the doctor's face is a monster of Owen's own making.
It had been fun, funny, at first; a fitting punishment: to take the shell that was once Legs, hollowed out by vampirism, and forge him into the very thing he feared. Satisfying, to see the moment he realised he could not escape what he was about to become.
AU where vampirism wipes all human memories, and Owen gets more than he bargains for in turning Legundo. As the days roll on and the fledging's (soldier, weapon, once-doctor) ledger runs red under his watch and still Legs doesn't remember, Owen starts to question exactly what he wants.

Summary
He'd just started thinking about how to escape when the sound of flapping wings drew his attention. Abolish prepared himself, grabbing for his stake. His heart sank when he realized it had been shattered to smithereens in the fall and wouldn't be effective anymore.
A bluish-grey bat swooped overhead, and Abolish's eyes widened when its entire right side slammed into the silver. A loud shriek pierced his ears as the little thing tumbled down into the pit, bringing with it the faint scent of burning fur.
Abolish hesitated. On one hand... that was a thousand percent Scott. There was not chance in the world this bat wasn't the elder vampire. But... the hunter bit his lip to keep from crying out as he leaned forward and picked it up in one hand.
Or:
Abolish fell into the Crypt pit trap and due to some infuriatingly placed silver, Scott does too (but in bat form bc that’s cute).

Summary
Legundo recalled Ren, Martyn, and Sausage's retelling of their encounter with Pyro. The way Pyro reacted and the fear he held for the apparently elder vampire. Scott was the main thing between them and curing most, if not all, of the unwilling vampires.
Lose the arm… save the body-
“Legs…” the bat croaked out, half conscious, and Legundo froze. It was unmistakably Owen's voice.
Do No Harm.

AKA, Legundo finds injured Owen, still in his bat form, and has to nurse him back to health.

After all, if he's the vampire he claims to be, it's not like shooting him will do any real damage, will it?

Summary
"My, you have been busy," Scott said, and Legundo did not look at Scott's eyes— shut them in fact, when Scott grabbed his chin and forced his face forward. He could smell that cold breath now, like a funeral parlor, and pulled away with a grimace, hand moving to his belt—
Scott snatched that up as well, and with a twist and a surge of inhuman strength, pressed Legundo flat to the table. His breath left him in a rush, and Scott laughed.
Scott was shorter than Legundo, and much lighter as well. The only thing keeping him planted on the ground was his own body weight, and Legundo had the advantage of leverage.
He still had a hand free. Legundo grabbed on to the collar of Scott's elegant coat, and put a knee into the vampire's stomach. He had the satisfaction of seeing surprise in Scott's eyes— before he was handily thrown clean off of Legundo, and over the far side of the table.
He would not get the element of surprise again.
(Or; Legundo gets bit by EVERY Vampire at some point or another, for varying reasons.)

Bookmarker's Notes
1 - The best Owen/Legs bite scene. Period. (retelling of canon's ep. 4)
2 - Um. Pyro/Doc/Abolish have a moment. Hypnotism is involved. Poor Pyro, but also wtf? (/pos)
3 - Cleo/Apo. Fun setup
4 - Legs saves Shelby. Much as I loved Owen’s bite, this might be my favorite chapter thus far
5 - The Doc and Owen have another moment
6 - Scott. Is. Terrifying. -

4. This was amazing and painful. Pretty much both in equal measures. Did make me cry. 10/10 tragedy, and the language is pure poetry. Reread this sometime.
