Hi Evergreen and Hickory Patrons!
I hope that you've been looking forward to this writing. π©Έ
While it was my intention to lay 'Bloodletting' to rest in this installment, it bit back with a vengeance that came out during my writing process. There's at least 10k words left in it that adds to all the other parts, so I split it up to to devote more time to its emotional conclusion.
I included flashbacks in Part 4 to show how R coped with their vampirism along with story hints that link to our posts on here. This entry is lengthy. I'm having fun with it! π₯° You'll be getting the final part of this story relatively early in February. I sincerely appreciate your understanding given everything else that's going on with the alpha/testing, etc. Enjoy reading and please keep your stakes holstered for this part's intense ending. π

"β¦Would you care for some chocolateβ¦?"
An unheard of timidity softens the question you're only half able to process while trying to regain your bearings. Hardwood flooring has been replaced by a mattress, letting you feel the dull aches that will awaken with time once given a cushy alternative. Your vision loses its subtle hazy quality after another slow blink that isn't alarmed because this room is so familiar.
Reese placed you on your side of the bed, the one you previously shared together with him.

2025-02-07 21:10:18 +0000 UTCThat sound was my feral scream(s) - first seeing thereβs going to be more because Iβm too greedy & needy for my own good. Then seeing the inevitable reminder of the cliff to hang from like a desperate feral frenzied ferret. Then I stopped & re-read parts 1 - 3 first to really work myself up. Thenβ¦ then I read it. And oh I think I injured myself or something because screaming at iPads at 2am like a crazy would-be-murder-husband threatening a pointy pasty-faced Hell-bitch for touching MY LOBSTER MINE does not go over well with the drug dealer neighbor it turns out. So hand-biting it is! And silent in-head screaming. Which leads to violent rage dreams of Dean going John McClain Die Hard Vamp Vengeance on a toothy bitch for daring to lay a finger on my butterfinger (apparently Dream Dean thought that was fucking HILARIOUS & poor VampyDom Reese was kinda less enthused by the term of Belovedness. I think I like it though.. heh. There may have also been some machetes & yipppee-ki-yays thrown in, but Dreamverse VampyDom Reese & Badass MC Dean drove off into the moonlight in Angelique after their murder husband melee. As you can see, I donβt handle cliffhangers or my Beloved in peril at all well. But pushing us into Feb for moreβ¦ that means a legit LEGIT happy endingβ€οΈβπ₯ππ β¦ also I am not above begging, pleading, bribing, & cajoling here! π«Άπ¦π¦π€π

2025-01-29 07:33:47 +0000 UTCIVE BEEN COUNTING THE DAYS FOR YOU BLOODLETTING MY BELOVED THERES ANOTHER PART??? Im seated Aelsa tries to remove me from the patreon because it will only be in february but im simply too seated I fear for the comments character limit when we finally end this GOD THAT POLAROID IS KILLING ME ALREADY R LOVES THE MC SO MUCH HOW AM I SUPPOSED TO COPE HERE???? WHAT *WOULDNT* R DO FOR THEM TRYING TO MOVE FOWARD BUT THEY JUST CANT Alex is also so painfully biased towards R especially the moment they get into a relationship im eating this up DOWN BAD GOSH SEEING R BEING TIMID AND FIDGETING IS KILLING MEEE SHYING AWAY FROM CONTACT BECAUSE THEY THINK THEY DONT DESERVE IT IM BITING THEM Never letting things go ever Alex π€ R in different ways The lingererrrrrrrs Finding justifications to still keep the MC in their life π₯Ίπ₯Ίπ₯Ί *flashbacks to the Reeses pieces comment* im alright ππ Only Alex could turn guilt into a competition.... and also win lets goooo suckers πππ’π’ they would never forgive themself if they had done that. Ever. π«Ά HE NEVER BLAMED US FOR IT??? AND IS ACTUALLY KINDA PROUD??? R VERNER YOU ARE KILLING ME DO YOU HEAR YOURSELF?????? I WAS!!! LITERALLY TALKING ABOUT THAT WITH BLAIRE TODAY!! That Alex would want those vampires gone because theres no supernatural bullshit on their watch. Saving the townsfolk was collateral but Alex wants things to go back to the way they were, without them needing to fear for themself and their friends Rebuilding wasnt on their mind yet, especially because even with the coven gone, there will always still have one vampire remaining...... they cant let go of him either I read the entire flashbacks and so if i had to guess, its the MCs Retrocognition which made me go !!!! Alex !!!! π₯°π₯°π₯° the MC keeps being Alexcore and i keep going insane over it Ngl when I read Reesie i literally grimaced π¬π¬π¬ irl and had to pause for a second to brace myself for whatever Char was going to do/say. Theyre so fucked in the head Uhhhhhhhh Char you keep making it hard to defend you but im nothing if not (stubborn) determined so uhhhh Well she was already dead innit? Better not waste the corpse now?? Dont worry i still remain Chars strongest soldier Like i can kinda see her point? If i squint and turn my head sideways? Shes trying to help them in the only way she knows how. Comforming? Playing by the rules to survive until she gauges where the limit is? Weird care? Not wanting them to be seen as weak? All 4??? A secret fifth thing?? I keep following the Char breadcrumbs and instead of a gingerbread house i only get PAIN IM SO CURIOUS PRINCESS TELL ME ABOUT YOUR MIND AND HOW IT WORKS But who cares about Char, VERNER BABY HES IN SO MUCH PAINNNNNN R opening those curtains, whats a little murder suicide between friends(?) (???) π«Ά THE BARE MINIMUM π₯³π₯³π₯³π₯³ Char gets like one correct opinion per writing otherwise the economy is in shambles R looking for people they can justify feeding from shouldnt be kinda hot but it was Get his ass babe WAIT NO BABY GO BACK STOP HURTING YOURSELF I DONT LIKE THIS ANYMORE R still keeping all the products the MC used untouched..... this is doing things to me hold on hold on hold on i hate it here Charlene you are so fascinating i need to hit you with a bus i need to kiss you square on the mouth Is she actually worried about Rs coping and holding on to the MC? Is she using that fragility to try and have her way and get with them? Is she trying to get them to move on because of her own "assistance"? I DONT KNOWWW Dont think i didnt notice R saying "my love" instead of "our love" π’ the MC may hate R but they will still love them and not regret what they did Im throwing myself into a wall THE MC IS LITERALLY THE THING THAT KEEPS HIM GOING THEIR ABSENCE WOULDVE BEEN THE THING THAT "KILLS" R No MC AU you will haunt me to the end of my days CHAR YOU ARE SUCH A FREAK WHAT IS WRONG WITH YOU IM SDFGETHJHHKJKL IM FASCINATED ITS LIKE WATCHING A CAR CRASH The fact that Mirabelle actually has a better chance of survival and making it untraumatized because of Char is making me go insane My mind will be rounding out those implications for the entire afternoon Char playing with her food and entertaining herself ends up being more humane than whatever the fuck everyone else is doing Oh im chewing on this like a bone NOT THE MOMMY KINK???? Char how does it feel to be the funniest bitch alive? π€ Aelsa the vibes are SO immaculate im losing my mind All the settings, the mood, the scenes, the horror Aelsa it was chefs kiss ill be rereading this one to digest everything better because WOW If i thought i already had too much thoughts on a FIRST read??? CHARLENE STARING AT US OH NO OH NO THINGS WILL GO SOUTH I JUST KNOW IT I FEEL IT IN MY BONES I usually read the warnings by the end cuz i like not knowing what to expect and "C being problematic" broke me Im making 50 burner accounts to defend you on Twitter queen/king π«Άπ«Άπ«Ά Aelsa this was so good you have effectively killed me jshdjgfhjgjkjkkj π
