What If Vampire Hunters Existed In The Redactedverse? Theres No Way There Isnt Some Group Against Vamps,

What if vampire hunters existed in the Redactedverse? There’s no way there isn’t some group against vamps, it’s pretty much the same thing as Closeknit: with humans being a primary food source for demons/daemons. (But with vampires and humans) referencing Trevor Belmont from Castlevania, there are whole legacies around hunting and/or slaying vampires- to full on ridding the world of them.

And what if we were introduced to these hunters in an enemies to lovers trope-style-audio with a vampire hunter x vampire? THE TENSION POSSIBILITIES ARE YOU FUCKING KIDDING ME- ugh the banter (I’m also imagining this guy having the same voice/accent as Trevor Belmont and I’m losing my mind) (also tagging @4ngelv4mp :D)

asher's many piercings. his dye job made me want to retire (affectionate)

That video yesterday? Perfect. I love it so much. Shall be relistening to it every night.

Milo may or may not be my favorite.

SECRET INCUBUS ANGEL DEMON ANGEL DEMON ANGEL DEMON ANGEL ‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️ CONSTANTLY MUTING THEIR AURA UNTIL ANOTHER DEMON POINTS IT OUT. Ugh I know this is kind of a “joke-y” post but I’m seriously spiraling about this concept. Angel protecting the pack, I feel like they’d either be an Inchoate daemon or an Incubus- but Angel being an Incubus makes a lot more sense.

Thinking about it

Angel could be an incubus... Not as a plot line n shit

But seeing how dirty minded they are they would do a good job as an incubus...

The Fruits by Paris Paloma reminds me SO MUCH of Angel. Of course because of this line: “Angel, he calls me. Does he know that I’m falling?- for if I’m going down, I guess I’ll take you with me-“ and so on.

And of course that got me overthinking: what if Angel had some secret dark undertones, like what if something is seriously wrong here? They aren’t exactly a villain themselves, but they eventually get caught up with Quinn or Vega?

And with a petname as pure and sweet as “Angel”, how ironically beautiful would it be if they were the exact opposite of those adjectives? There’s such deep meaning behind why David calls them ‘Angel’, putting that to waste would be so heartbreaking and I love it.

The whole atmosphere of the song is so ominous and dark. Like something to be discovered or found out. “You’re so pure he says, does he know I’m forsaken? The original sinner, but soon you’ll know.” There’s such great potential for angst here.

Now the switch to those spoken ‘darker undertones’: “devil you call me, but seem to be enjoying, the fruits of my labor that came to me too young. When he stole my virtue, I’m glad it seems to serve you.” Angel is a force to be manipulated in every universe- especially within The Imperium. But also being an unempowered human surrounded by magical beings. They’re just a pawn to be used up in their own eyes.

Angel absolutely has low self-worth because of that fact, leading to some rather impulsive decisions and desires. They want more, they want worth and power. Which is exactly how they found themselves wound up with high King Imperial in the Imperium universe. With absolutely no escape.

So it’s just too easy to get them in a weak spot- Quinn finds that so endearing how they’ve found themself where they are. “Under big bad alpha Shaw’s arm.” And of course it’s not just Quinn who noticed it, but he’s the first to dig through their potential for more within they’re own oblivion.

And the breathing within the end of the song could be their exhaustion with trying to catch up with everyone else- to be a safe harbour that’s cracking at the foundation. (Hey little songbird from Hadestown is giving me Quinn and Angel energy) he not only offers them an escape, he offers them eternal rest.

Mafia Boss David Shaw makes so much sense to me… legs kicked up on the desk, arms folded against his chest as Asher explains the parameters of their latest job. (Milo’s at Asher’s side of course, making sure he’s speaking it back correctly because he doesn’t trust Ash to do the talking all on his own). I’m talking right white button downs (or black depending on the day), fitted dress pants, and expensive slacks. He’s the same old David- except way more violent.

Ash is still his right-hand-man, making most of the perceivable decisions of the public name- while David handles the finances and paperwork. He isn’t necessarily a hands-on type of guy, David would often explain. But truthfully, it all depended on the client.

Their alliance with the Solaire “clan” mafia, earned them a better name per Sam’s persistent recommendation of inspection. OOOOOHHH MAFIA DINNERS AT FANCY ASS RESTAURANTS.

Williams at one end of this big as table, and David’s on the other, as their respective members sit on each of the inside ends. It’s completely candlelit, and the tension is heavy at first until William shares his more- mischievous nature.

David Shaw is a monster. Well at least that’s what Angel’s coworkers kept telling them over their lunches in the break room. Their friend had kept up a huge debt with some “William” guy, and an allying group had come to…..collect it.

Yeah no fucking shit, this dude came to work three days later with a black eye, broken nose, and fractured spine. Whoever this group was, they were no joke. Especially this “David Shaw” character.

I’m imagining these two meeting in a back alley, some douchebag was following Angel on the streets one night when their phone had died. He was calling after them as they sped-walked to any corner store they could spot. Once the creep finally grabbed Angel’s shoulder, he was flung backwards into a nearby buildings brick wall. That’s when Angel saw him, a mountain of a man, glaring down at them.

Angel kept following after him ever since then, finding any possible way to thank him. And also maybe because they sorta kinda found him unbelievably sexy. “I don’t need a thank-you, leave me alone.” “Bullshit! Isn’t there anything I can do? Just to get me off your ass?” “….anything huh?” “Anything!” “Fine, follow me, smart ass.”

That’s how Angel ended up paying for David’s meal and snagging his number in the process.

ALRIGHT WITH SOME BACK STORY OUTTA THE WAY HERE ARE SOME GENERAL IDEAS:

Angel on David’s lap during meetings, no one can say anything because this guy’s the boss, they’d get their ass killed.

He’s super soft with them, so fucking gentle despite his—murderous tendencies. Yeah he’s a full blown yandere after he falls desperately in love with them. Like David would kill a man, then come home and wrap Angel up in his arms, peppering their face and neck in slow kisses before making them their favorite food.

Would absolutely kill anyone who fucked with them. David finding out someone made his Angel cry would be a death penalty.
