Sparkly

Tumblr you greedy bastard you need to learn to share goddamnit—

Did tumblr chew up the link in my bio to my ao3?

WTF why would someone go undercover as an enjoyer of something, like what were they planning??? jeeze these shippers are getting extra messed up and aggressive lately :(

I know, right? It's extremely messed up

When I saw that this was a character that was part of your fanfic, I immediately had to know more about him.

And oh my god, poor Victor. I honestly do feel bad for him.

I had a feeling that Sebastian would see a bit of Ciel (aka his deceased son figure) in him when I read about their relationship.

Also interesting how you incorporate vampires into the Black Butler universe!

Meet The Character Monday

Only it's not Monday, it's Thursday. I've been skipping the past few Mondays, mainly because I forgot but also because of school.

Today, I bring you Victor Hans. A secondary protagonist in my black butler fic "Entrusted To You." (picrew brought to you by niseo who has wonderful art btw)

Victor has been alive for a long time. Records of his existence were lost centuries ago. Sired in 1346 to ensure his survival of the bubonic plague, he took his sire's family name and integrated with human society, weeding his way through the nobility. Physically, he's in his twenties, but he's actually 491 years old (not that old for a vampire) and is technically still a fledgling. Because he no longer controls blood circulation or temperature regulation of his body, he wears many black clothes that retain light and make him overheat, along with wearing scarves all year round. Considering he was brought back from the dead, his body temperature is lower than that of the average live person.

Vampire hunters started a myth that their blood could cure any ailment, thus leading people in search of them. Which birthed a market for supernatural trafficking. Werewolves fangs and fur for their strength, siren scales for their voice, ghost ectoplasm for vitality. You name it, apothecaries stocked up on it, feeding into the trade.

Years before he meets Sebastian, he is kidnapped, his fangs are ripped out, and he is harvested for his blood. The hunters didn't give him the mercy of killing him right then. Instead, they took him back to their caravan, where other supernatural creatures were kept in captivity. They were a traveling freakshow for humans to point, stare at, or even poke. He tried many times to escape but to no avail. He couldn't get past security. Two hulking gargoyles were watching; to the untrained eye, they were just statues.

In his grief, distraught by being the cause of Ciel's death, Sebastian finds a letter stating that this was the final job for him as the butler to the Queen's Guard Dog. Ciel had been keeping tabs on apothecaries throughout London thanks to the Undertaker because people were getting killed, and Scotland Yard wasn't sure why. Desperate and hoping that this could bring Ciel back, he complies with his final orders and hunts down how the apothecaries got their ingredients. Eventually, going undercover with Raziel and allowing himself to get "captured" by the vampire hunters. (Think how Sebastian and Ciel infiltrate the circus)

When Victor meets Sebastian, he hates him. He's coddled by the demon and treated as someone he isn't, all because Sebastian sees him as Ciel and sees him as a second chance to be his butler again. Victor refuses to talk to him or even stand in the same room as him, but he has to ensure his safety. His disobedience lands him on a trip to the boss's office, where he is beaten. The human forces him to fight, even going as far as to try and get new fangs to sprout. (They can't because vampire fangs aren't like human teeth) Which leads him to break Victor's jaw. Bloodied and on the floor, as a last resort, Victor calls out to Sebastian, pleading to get him out of there to save him. The demon comes running like a dog when they see a bone.

Sebastian is blinded by the similarities he thinks Victor and Ciel share, blinded by his own grief, and he cannot think straight. Their contract binding is loose and unspecified. It causes many problems because Sebastian isn't bound adequately to his contractee and, therefore, can do whatever he wants as there is no reason for him to stay. Victor doesn't want him around and does not need a demon butler. But Sebastian saves him in tricky situations, leading Victor to reevaluate his feelings about having a butler. He had spent his life as a butler to his sire. Having a butler of his own is a luxury.

Raziel hates him because undead humans are no better than live humans. Live humans serve him no purpose; undead humans are even more useless. As an angel, he believes it defies logic and throws off the balance between life and death. He and Grelle try to get Sebastian to see that there is no bringing back Ciel, as it will never happen.

Dadbastian people write this down-

You’re a demon. One day, you’re summoned into a living room, and an exhausted woman quickly rambles about needing to get to work and being unable to find a sitter before flying out the door. Now, you stand in your summoning circle, a toddler staring wide eyed at you.
