#the Polycule of Light

[therainbowwillow]

I know Van Helsing is most popular for post-canon vampire hunter adaptions, but the whole Polycule of Light has so much potential!

They all try to go back to their day jobs, but they’ve spent months honing in on supernatural symptoms and can’t seem to shake off the wariness. Jonathan is tuned in to his clients’ strange behaviors and begins to suspect that something’s up. Seward is at least 50% sure that a few of his patients are communicating with other-worldly beings the way Renfield was. Mina notices that a few of her students are absent for some time after Lucy’s death and seem… off when they return. Van Helsing treats patients with Lucy-esque symptoms and starts to worry. Arthur, now involved in England’s upper class circles, notes that some of these families go way back… but never seem to gain new members, as if the individuals themselves have been around for ages. Quincey… what is Quincey’s day job? Maybe he’s less dismissive about his horses getting eaten by bats?

ANYWAY! Fearing a repeat of Dracula, they come together again, quit their day jobs and form a little society of monster-hunters. Word gets around and soon, everyone knows where to turn when things aren’t going the way they should. And so the Polycule of Light establishes themselves as the go-to monster hunting agency in England, with Jonathan handling financials, Mina, Arthur, and Quincey gathering information from clients (and spying on people & bribing them for further info) and Jack & Van Helsing examining victims. Once they figure out what’s going on, they pull out the good ‘ol knives, stakes & guns (okay, the guns were never put away, this is Quincey we’re talking about) and head off to hunt down some vampires or werewolves or some other monster that they now have to contend with.

There is POTENTIAL here! Give me post-canon adaptions where everyone plays a role in the story!

And now for an expansion of these ideas with spoilers because I’ve already read Dracula and have thoughts.

Spoilers also possible in the notes, use to your discretion!

Again, spoiler warning below!!!

This is your last chance! Major spoilers ahead!!!

I refuse to accept that Quincey dies and I feel like any good post-canon AU needs a cowboy to be complete.

There are a lot of work-arounds here. The easiest one is that he is injured, but the two doctors on site (Van Helsing & Jack) manage to save him. I do also enjoy the ‘Quincey is a werewolf’ theory (and thus can’t be hurt by Dracula’s defenders’ non-silver knives). I think it adds another degree of interest to the story that if not all supernatural beings are evil, Dracula is choosing to hurt people and that is extra fucked up. This pairs really well with a Vampire Lucy survives AU, where she takes control of her own (after)life once Dracula is dead and has lost control over her. She rejoins the Polycule of Light to hunt down the undead who are actively choosing to be cruel (with some extra perspective as to which “enemies” aren’t in control of themselves- she’s the Polycule’s ethics branch.)

There is also Jonathan & Mina’s son who makes for a great addition to the plot. I like to think that he is being coparented by the entire Polycule, but is not let in on the supernatural happenings that his six parents + grandpa Van Helsing are contending with while he’s asleep or at school. They tell him when he’s old enough to understand and eventually, he gets to join them on missions.

Having threesome BBLawlight thoughts and thinking about Beyond showing up during the Kira investigation and rapidly developing becoming obsessive about Light in a very similar way to how he got obsessive over L, and L getting really jealous but he can't figure out why and he can't figure out of whom.

You have to admire Melisandre for saying um no this unpleasant bald man 3 continents away is Jesus and I'm starting a small heresy. You can't stop me. Also, I'm gonna fuck him and his wife (but sadly not his boyfriend)
