1. Chapter 1 (1/1)

happy birthday to redrachxo! here's that bertrand-and-disney prompt you've been asking for. hope you enjoy it and have a fab day!

"come on, you'll enjoy it." bertrand grumbled, but eventually agreed to vlad's chosen pastime. even if it was watching a moving drawing aimed at children.

"what? i thought you said this had a happy ending!" vlad nodded, confused. "but she kissed him and it made him weak. most of the mob got away, and he wasn't even dangerous any more. he wasn't even handsome. and before he was so strong, and powerful, and dark… admittedly a little wolf-like, but we can't all be blessed with vampiris- what? what's so funny?" vlad was smirking at him."i don't think you've quite got the point of beauty and the beast, bertrand. let's see if i can find a disney film you'll prefer."

"well, that's never going to work out." vlad raised an eye

ow at him."why not?" bertrand frowned."she's going to miss the life she used to have, the freedom, and it'll tear her in two until she does something about it. take it from a half-fang.""what do you honestly think is going to happen that's so terrible?""i killed my sire, vlad. she could turn on him just as easily. i would, if it was me."

vlad sighed and reached for another film. the little mermaid had never been so disturbing.

"that's more like it! an ascent to power in the face of adversity, dominion over all his subjects – this is the kind of role model you should be aspiring to be like. perhaps this disney thing isn't so pointless after all. yes, very good, although the uncle really could have won if he'd put a little thought into it." bertrand was smiling, actually smiling as the credits of the lion king rolled.

"i'm glad you finally liked one." they sat for a few minutes before vlad spoke again. "you're totally thinking about staking my dad now, aren't you?""and sending you to live in the jungle?" he paused thoughtfully. "…yeah."
