#vampire focalors

[harmonysanreads]

Since your requests are open, might I suggest vamp lord Venti? Or perhaps something with the vamp lords in general?

i'm glad there's one other person besides me who's interested in the archons as vampire!lords lolol i wasn't sure what to title this but please, accept this humble drabble of them being the siblings ever. note : darling's relationship with nahida is strictly platonic!

This is an extension of this and this concept, which are branched from my vampire!alhaitham au :> written with a yandere setting in mind but nothing of that sort is really going on here, unless you squint.

“Seriously, what was that blockhead thinking when making them share a room with a half-blood vampire of everything?”

“If you can even call this closet a room, Barbatos. There's not even space for us to take an extra step!”

If the word ‘baffled’ would be a person, that'd be you at this instance. You stare questioningly at the figures that now occupy your room, the buzzes of their comments on the poor accommodations that they had provided flies over your head as easily as they leave the lords' lips. A moment’s interlude and five servants enter next, meticulously weaving through the existent personnel.

“Well, I can't say I wasn't expecting this. Half-bloods have weaker impulse control, especially when they have not been ‘fed’ properly. There's no way Morax couldn't have known this. So, he must've had other intentions.”

The lord praised for her unmatched wisdom chimed, inspecting the residual stains of blood on the otherwise vacant walls with curious green eyes. At the side, the lord clad in ocean blue conducts the servants to gather your belongings with haste and the master of songs remained beside your person in his nonchalant haze.

“Uhm, M'lord, am I getting kicked out…?”

Barbatos's gleaming teal eyes meet your tentative gaze. With a chuckle, he places his beret on your head. Instead of words he answers you with a hearty squeeze on your cheeks and you yelp.

“My birdie, how could that thought even cross your head?” even a blind person could feel the pout on the lord's lips. You make a few unsuccessful attempts at riposte and at last succumb to the assault on your cheeks — the sight of which has Barbatos's grin stretched till his fangs peak.

“Cut it out, Barbatos! They've yet to recover from their wounds. You can save your ‘affection’ for a later day.” the lord celebrated for her stage prowess huffs, arms crossed and indignant at the handsy behavior of her fellow Vampire Lord.

The accused vampire frees your cheeks from his clutches. Though you're not gifted with reprieve as his right arm coils around your shoulders next. “You speak as though I'm the most ignorant being to exist! Dear [Name], why don't you tell good Focalors here how much you enjoy being the recipient of my affection?”

You sputter at the heat of the two lords’ gazes. Luck shines upon you and your savior interferes with a cough.

“Allow me to apologize on behalf of everyone, [Name]. Had I been more persistent in ensuring that you wouldn't have to be roommates with that half-blood, this accident wouldn't have happened. I'm truly sorry.”

Nahida's heartfelt condolences paint the atmosphere in a subtle somber hue. Pupils of green flicker to and fro the fresh bandages wrapped around your neck and wrists. You feel Barbatos's fingers tighten around you ever so slightly, it is not until Focalors' chiding words echo that the silence cracks.

“Buer, Buer, Buer. For how long will you continue to take responsibility for others' carelessness?”

“Well, at least she has the courtesy to apologize,” Barbatos idly twirls a strand of your hair, “Unlike a certain brutish blundering buffoon.”

It's quite apparent to you who he addresses so vehemently, though, you're not certain what the cause is behind their blood feud. It's not like you expected to be treated like royalty in a palace full of lethal predators, no one has heard a vampire ever treating a human kindly. You'd even say you were no greater than a slave to everyone in this place, so, the lords' current care confused you greatly.

“Actually, Lord Morax invited me for breakfast this morning. He told me that even he wasn't expecting my ‘roommate’ to betray his command and attack me.”

All eyes snap towards you as those words settle from your lips, you cannot hold back your concern at how quickly they turned their heads.

“He did?” Focalors asks incredulously, the lock of hair Barbatos was twirling falls from his grasp dramatically.

“Yes…he even told me that Lord Shogun had ‘taken care of’ my roommate, whatever that means.” you mutter with uncertainty, gaze flickering between their wide-eyed stares.

Barbatos is the first to recover from that collective befuddlement, “Well, looks like they did something good for once.” he lets go of your shoulder and you almost miss the flash of irritation in his normally tranquil teal eyes. You note how unsettling he sounds with the absence of playfulness. The weight of the lord's beret reminds you of the barrenness of your room and your initial confusion of why they barged in, in the first place.

“Am I really going to be kicked out of the palace?”

Your question comes out more melancholic than intended but, it does its job in getting the vampires' attention. Barbatos begins with a spring in his speech, completely disregarding his earlier odd countenance.

“About that, my birdie, because you're such a delicious mea—ow! I mean, such a precious human, we've decided that from today onwards, your new roommates will be…us!”

Furina's elbow retreats as Barbatos rubs the side of his abdomen with a spiteful look. She takes his beret off of your head and replaces it with her own hat, hurling the former object towards the green-clad lord's face.

“Now, I know what you're thinking, petit agneau. Each of us will be sharing our quarters with you every month. Meaning, one month you'll be my roommate, the next Buers, then Barbatos's and it'll rotate like this. Isn't that the most excellent idea?”

Judging by Furina's boisterous laughter and the sparkles that float around her, you surmise it must've been her proposal. All of this is happening too quickly and too out-of-nowhere. You're not naive enough to believe that their sudden initiatives are born from unadulterated kindness. In this hidden corner of the world where the self-interest of a stronger life form dominates the hierarchy, it's foolish to rule-out any possibilities of hidden agendas. But precisely due to that reason, clinging to the few opportunities of benevolence are inconsequential for survival — that, in itself, is another form of self-preservation.

“So, I'll be staying with you this month, Lord Focalors?” you ask.

“Well… who'll be the first in the rotation actually hasn't been decided yet.”

“I’ll be the first one.” Nahida, who'd been silent thus far proclaimed ; you tilt your head down to find her dainty fingers holding onto your hand.

Focalors and Barbatos remain frozen with gaping mouths for a few seconds, likely because they were about to say the same thing.

“If I may jog your memory, you both have been tasked with arranging this year's annual spring gala. No doubt you'll both be busy with your own work to pay attention to [Name]. So, it's only logical that she stays with me, isn't it?”

True to her title, Nahida leaves no room for further arguments with her reasoning. A ‘you have a point’ full of disappointment leaves the other two in unison. You catch Nahida's wink as you peer down at her and it makes you wonder. You can never guess what she's thinking but, she's been the only one who's shown you genuine care since you signed your contract with the Vampire Lords. There's a certain... peace about her presence that you can reluctantly believe in, compared to the flightiness of the others, at least.

You spare one last look at the place you used to call your room, the splatters of your own blood remind you again of the terrors of this palace. With a deep breath, you choose to swallow your fear and follow their lead, for now, at least.

Random Furina brain rot again. Nothing too surprising as she lives in my head rent free.

But like—Furina as Vanitas from Case Study of Vanitas?? Both are sad blue French people who have trust issues. They’re kind.(it’s just a lot harder to see) They wear black and blue. They’re short. They’re sad. They’re traumatized. They both have identity issues(as far as I know). They have SEVERE trust issues. They both wear gloves. They speak French. They have inhuman (they glow you cannot tell me otherwise/they’re unnatural)blue eyes.

They’re technically both not human. (Furina had the brain of a human but her body was originally Focalors’ so not human by technicality. Also she has no parents or blood relatives so she’s more so an entity in my mind, also I don’t think she can die via primordial sea[brainrot for another day])

They have dead inhuman blue mentors. (Luna/Focalors) (don’t like Focalors still)

They don’t tell anyone about their past.

Furina would totally threaten to kill anyone who tried to pry inside her memories especially if this is before end of prophecy. (Sorry Nahida, but you won’t be spared if you try) (traveler too, they should have gotten a good smack down for invasion of privacy and then brushing it off like it was nothing)

But then, who would be her Noè? 🤔 I’m a confident shipper of wanderer X Furina but he doesn’t exactly act like Noè from VNC. Hmmmm. Can’t be Lyney or Lynette, or Arlecchino(I still hate her).

Freminet is a maybe cuz he’s Fatui.

I don’t feel like Clorinde would work.

Maybe Navia or Chevruse? I like the idea of Chevruse more for some reason.

Can’t be Neuvillette since he’s like-Count Orlok or Rugen vibes.

Wriothesley just doesn’t work.

So maybe Sigewinne? Meh

No one in Fontaine really fits the dynamic or Noè personality I’m looking for.

So what about the other nations? Hmmm.

Though I probably should have asked if you’ve even heard of or seen Case Study of Vanitas before rambling about it. It’s my favorite anime, if you haven’t seen it you totally should!

🦌 anon

I have heard very little of it and know very little. All ik is gay vampires. That is the extent of my knowledge-

You have put sm thought into this omg it’s beautiful. I will trust and take what you say, because I have no idea what’s happening-

I’ll have to put it on my watch list!

i already decide to read the 4.2 datamine before the update bc i was so nervous after all the BS so far... but they actually managed to surprise me and make it worse than i thought it could be T.T

i was already prepared for and willing to accept if furina is the surviving half of [REDACTED], but this is worse. she's not even part of [REDACTED] she's just a doppelganger AND she wasn't ever making the decisions and helping the master plan///// i hate this this feels like it was written by a woman hater. it just pulls the rug out from under everything. i hate it. it feels like they just used this quest to introduce multiple new factions of powerful potential gacha units for more money

First of all, hi!

Secondly, I understand your disappointment with the quest, you're valid to have a negative opinion. I, myself, was taken by surprise with the things that happened, but... I'm not angry or anything. It was a good quest imo, for me the best one I've seen in Genshin up to date and that's coming from someone who is also a Honkai Impact 3rd fan. It was the first time I cried in Genshin while in Honkai I cried multiple times.

And I disagree about Furina. She wasn't a "doppleganger". A doppleganger is a situation like Elena Gilbert is to Katherine Pierce in The Vampire Diaries. Furina has been stated clearly, multiple times in the AQ, to be Focalors' Human Half. The consciousness in the Oratrice was the Divine Half of Focalors, she even calls herself "Focalors' Divinity". The difference between Furina and the Oratrice Half is that Furina didn't get Focalors' memories, but the Oratrice Half did. It was all part of the plan, just like it was said "To deceive the Heavenly Principles you must first deceive yourself". Even Zhongli in his VL about Furina says "she made a contract with HER OWN SELF". Please don't ever think that Furina is unimportant, she was the key to the solving of the prophecy, without her everything would have been destroyed.

Yeah, I don't see Furina and the Oratrice Half as different people, they're two halves of the same whole. Paimon also says about Focalors "She sacrificed herself in the end as a God and she suffered through all these years as a human". Maybe it's also my Christian upbringing speaking here but for me, Focalors - Furina - Oratrice Half are literally a parallel to The Father - The Son- The Holy Spirit a.k.a the Holy Trinity- three personas, but all 3 are the same God.

you guys... arlefuri is luna, vampire of the blue moon × faustina, vampire of the red moon... focallette is vanoe... focalors is so luna coded and furina her vanitas... "yet i am but a human"... oh my god... i get it...

[djinn-sins]

Focalor: You can't deny it. There's something between us.

Dantalion: Loathing. Disgust.
