Hi Evergreen and Hickory Patrons!
It's finally here: the ending (it seems) of 'Bloodletting'. ๐ฉธ
I won't take up too much of your time with an author's note at the outset aside from the fact that there are references to other Patreon writings and R's lines from Book One within this piece! (Their first words to the Returning Visitor, ahem. ๐ฅบ) Hopefully you enjoy those nods. (There are content warnings at the bottom! Please feel free to scroll down or search 'content warnings' to jump to that section. Your comfort should always come first. ๐)

"A host's privilege will always fall short of mine," Franz declares, composed rather than outwardly offended. He doesn't bother moving closer to inspect Reese's servile pose, which only prompts the apprehending vampires to force Reese that much lower to be within his line of sight. He's not wasting any effort, preferring others to make it on his behalf. "Defend yourself at least."

Itโs possible my emotions literally fried my internet & sent me into medieval times because my internet died pretty much as I was raving at the iPad about Reese & fuck Titanic & that damn Celine Dione song because Dean is not going on Winslet-style thinking Reese went full Leo. Nope. No way. Not turning our Bambi complex into Titanic trauma. Our movie is Live Free & TwiHard. Lots of yippee-ki-yay & fuck yeah & maybe some sparkles if Reese is cool with getting glitterbombed. Anyways, I used my dead internet to imagine VampyDom Reese as Edward & despite my Twilight addiction, my Reese addiction is def harder. Then I went with Louis & Lestat & Armand & he still won. I went through the whole vampy spectrum of media & Reese wins every time. Heโs my Beloved VampyDom lobster. (Hah! Siri just auto-corrected me typing โvampireโ to be VampyDom instead! We have truly won the day now.) I also had many Mal related thoughts & am still convinced that a Mal & Reese combo would work. Just fyi. Now that my internet is back, Iโll reread from part 1. But after tomorrow in case I kill my internet again so I donโt miss Mal tryingโฆ ๐คโค๏ธโ๐ฅโค๏ธโ๐ฉน๐ฆ

She really went on to help somewhat THATS MY GIRL And then she left when they were losing- Well thats still my girl yeah of course she would do that Its self preservation yknow core human trait (shes a vampire?

I legit whimpered on that line dont do this to me Of COURSE Alex is seeing this as R leaving them again of COURSE THEY ARE This is what, Alex being retraumatized 2? 3? Times now They cant possibly be okay, not truly, not after this no matter how it goes Stubborn with the same intonation as my love??? OH THIS IS DIABOLICAL AELSA WHAT THE HELL Verners love for the MC makes me want to DIE That love and care is unparalleled, dare i say, unrivaled I know all the ROs would go to great lengths for the MC but theres a reason i imprinted on R like a baby duck They make me sick in the head i hope you guys are proud of me Im not spoiling things from now on but just know i let out a painful wail or perhaps even a guttural one Crying with my eyes wide open so i can keep resding YOU BASTARD YOU ABSOLUTE BASTARD IM ENDING YOUUUU Fuck this entire story i cant do this anymore (keeps doing it) The ending That ending Aelsa will i ever truly know happiness? I shouldnt have gotten that fucking coffee i feel SICK IN A GOOD WAY IBTHINK?
