Date: 2014-07-28 05:20 pm (UTC)(Definitely inspired by this where Bucky is a dhampire descended from Dracula. *hands*)
...
Stevie Rogers was always getting into fights even before the whole vampire thing happened. She was shouting at a bully who'd been beating on one of the queers from down the street and when the man turned to face her, she saw that his face was -- wrong.
"What was that, girlie?" he hissed, lunging for her as the man on the ground crawled away.
"You heard me," she said, dodging to the side, quicker than she'd ever moved before.
"You're the Slayer!" the man cackled. "Oh, it's my lucky day."
She was able to avoid his grasp and her breath stayed even (which was a pleasant surprise), and her flailing punches were actually landing on him, what was going on?
"Hey, bloodsucker!" Bucky shouted from the mouth of the alley, "Catch!" When whatever he threw hit, the man went up in flames, screaming.
"Stevie, c'mon," Bucky said, waving her over. "We've got to get out of here."
"He called me a Slayer," Stevie told him as she hurried to him. Bucky made sure to look both ways before they carefully walked up the street towards their apartment. "What was he?"
Bucky sighed. "A vampire. And of course you're the Slayer -- not like you're trouble enough already."
"A vampire, really?" she asked.
Bucky glanced down at her. "You know where my ma's folks came from?"
Stevie nodded. Bucky's smile was strained and a little sad. "There's a reason they left the old country, a reason I never really believed. I thought Slayers were bedtime tales 'til I saw you fightin' a thrall."
"Thrall?" Stevie repeated.
"Wait 'til we're home," Bucky said. "I'll tell you everything I know."
…
Everything he knew turned out to be a lot, and Mrs. Barnes told her some more, but when the old Brit showed up and tried to muscle his way in, Bucky refused to let him. “You can’t trust the Watcher Council, Stevie,” he said, and how he could be so sure, she didn’t understand.
But Stevie Rogers trusted Bucky Barnes more than she trusted herself, so she listened to him.
Before he returned to wherever he came from, the Brit told Bucky, “We know what you are, boy.”
Bucky just grinned at him, head tilted cockily, and he shot back, “Then you know to keep your distance. She’s got me watching her back and that’s more than you and your council’ll ever do.”
…
Stephanie Rogers lasted the longest until Buffy Summers. How she finally died, no one is sure.
What no one knows is this:
“Please,” Bucky whispered, curled around Stevie as she died in his arms. “Please, please, let me, please.”
“Okay,” she breathed.
Twelve hours later, she woke up to Bucky watching her, hands clasped tightly together, fear in his eyes.
She smiled at him and his entire body sagged in relief.
They said goodbye to their families and walked into the sunlight together, holding hands and discussing what to do next. War was raging in Europe, so they chose to avoid it. But South America – “I’ve always wanted to sketch some of those rain forest flowers,” she told Bucky.
He kissed her and said, “Then let’s go.”

Date: 2014-07-29 01:27 am (UTC)C'mon, I couldn't let Stevie die! So now they're both immortals with all the strength of a vampire and none of the weaknesses. *glee*
I'm so glad you like it! I hung out on comment_fic instead of working on my thesis today and it was a lot of fun.

Date: 2014-07-11 10:53 pm (UTC)Still, despite the ache in his calves (though Ron wasn't sure what baby cows had to do with anything) and the pain in his empty gut the day was glorious. In the far future Ron would be two hundred and twelve, balding, covered in wrinkles and dragon pox and he would still remember this day as being the best in his life.
"If you can dodge a wrench-" Professor Dresden's words were loud, cutting through the empty air outside like a... like a something that cut a lot. Ron's grin grew wider as he rounded the turn of the lake, easily picking out the mass of terrified, green robed Slytherins who had proclaimed the muggle art of 'running away' both undignified and cowardly. "-you can dodge a spell!"
With a wave of his hand Professor Dresden launched all sorts of ancient muggle devices toward the green mass, and the howls of pain and 'My Father Will Hear About This!' warmed something that was itself a tiny bit Slytherin within him. Rubber ducks, wrenches, and a great deal of right shoes* were hurled with a force hard enough to bruise. Some targets dodged into the mud as was prescribed. Several tried the earlier demonstrated shield spell, but few managed to cast it successfully.
Ron laughed maniacally as the scion of Malfoy took a football to the stomach and crumpled to the ground.
"AGAIN!" Professor Dresden shouted at his students, "WHAT ARE YOU, HUFFLEPUFFS?** I'VE SEEN CAREBARES*** WITH MORE FIGHT THAN THIS!!!"
*The shoes had been donated to the Ministry for educational purposes after a strange, decidedly magical and never before seen, blue creature had stolen all of the left half of the pairs.
**It should be pointed out that in fact Professor Dresden has a great deal of respect for the 'Puffs, on account of their house being the only one to not only complete their laps without complaint but upon having their shield charms tested instead of dodging the projectiles they attacked the Professor en masse.
***During Finals week Professor Dresden was unanimously declared Best-Hogwart's-Professor-Ever after declaring his own finals canceled and instead using the testing time to make everyone watch Return of the Jedi, which was projected from the eyesockets of his pet skull.
