disgruntled_owlWhat a great haul I had for this year's Trick or Treat Exchange! I really appreciate how generous these three authors were with their time and creativity as they wrote these stories.
First, a deliciously gloomy scene set prior to the events of Horror of Dracula, which reveals a dark moment in Van Helsing's past.

Summary: Harker and Van Helsing meet one last time before the young man's ill-fated journey to Klausenburg, and the good doctor remembers an earlier brush with their adversary.
Next, a scene that explores the vulnerabilities, loyalties, and fortitude of Walter Dornez, my favorite character in one of my favorite Dracula-related fandoms.

Tags: Alucard & Walter Dornez, Minor or Background Relationship(s), Background Relationship: Alucard/Integra, Alucard (Hellsing), Walter Dornez, Offers to Turn, Temptation, Old Age, Discussion of death and aging
Summary: Walter's hand shakes. It’s a quick quiver, nothing major; the china teacup rattles on its saucer in an ominous warning, but not a drop is spilled.

But it does not go unnoticed.
“Oh ho,” Alucard says, leering as he sips from his own cup, though it is filled with a more profane liquid. “Losing your grip, old man.”
And finally, a heartbreaking alternate ending for a a battle between friends set during the Clone Wars.
