sire and sired
There's nothing like the bond between a maker and their offspring. It goes beyond parent, friend, lover to a realm deeper than most humans could understand. It can encompass so many things - loyalty, love, respect, protectiveness and it certainly isn't unheard of to include sex in with it all.

As a sire, you will most likely feel the urge to protect and teach what you've created. They will be your family, your blood. Vampire instinct dictates you stay with your offspring until you feel they are able to make it on their own.

Some never part.

As an offspring, you may feel slighted if they turned you against your choice or you may feel profound respect. You may love them anyway, even if the choice to be changed wasn't yours. In some tales, a created vampire will always love their maker and look at them with nothing but utter respect. They will be under their maker's control, perhaps never regaining their freedom.

Not all sires and sired have the perfect relationship, however. For reasons so varied, sires might not feel any bond towards their offspring, may grow to resent the burden or whatever forced them into creating them. Sired vampires may resent their makers for not giving them a choice, for taking them away from their family.

Now the question is, what will your relationship be like?

Warning: possible triggers, sex and violence are contained in this meme. it could also contain references to dubcon/noncon in certain prompts.

instructions:
1. Comment with your character, series, preferences and whether they will be sire or sired. You may also roll on a thread by thead basis.
2. Roll a number between 1-6 with RNG for a type and then 1-6 again to decide which prompt to follow. You may also create your own scenario.
3. Reply to others and play to your heart's content.
4. Respect others, don't cause wank.

prompts:

freshly made
1. the beginning | you're about to make an offer they can't (or won't) refuse. you want a companion, they were sick, they were dying and you couldn't stand to see it happen. they're a friend, a lover, someone you just think would make a good companion. maybe you just want to be a sire and experience that joy.
2. the awakening | the first night awakening with new eyes. how does it feel? is it joyous, confusing, terrifying or infuriating? how do you look at your maker? be prepared to spend time adjusting to your newfound senses.
3. first feed | it's time that the sired takes their first taste of actual blood. is it done willingly? is it a desperate hunger that they just can't ignore? or did you have blood waiting for them or special rules they need to follow before they feed? now would be the time to tell them.
4. mentor | while maybe not their actual sire, you are the closest they've got. just because you don't have a blood bond doesn't mean you don't care about them as much as your own and you need them to understand that.
5. settling in | things are radically different than they were before for both the sire and the sired. it's time to seek a little comfort in each other, soothe any discomfort and get a feel for your new bond.
6. first rest | it's your first day's rest and you want to spend it wth your sire. do they accept you with open arms, wait with you? do they insist you go it alone? and whatever their answer, it's also important how the sired accepts it and what they think of it.

old hands
1. prey | you've found your prey, either willing or not, for the night and the hunger is kicking in. do you share it? is it every vampire for him(or her)self?
2. hiding | you've both reached a point in your life where it's important to blend in with humans, either out of necessity or want. how are both of you handling it? is it a joint desire or is one simply being made to follow along?
3. moving | something has happened and you need to move on, fast. how do you feel about leaving your home and everything behind? were you really ready for it?
4. dedication | show your dediction to each other in any way possible. you need to know that you are family, you need to reaffirm that bond between you.
5. change | things are changing between you, for better or worse. it's subtle or outright apparent to one or both of you. the question is how you handle it and if it can be worked out.
6. release | every parent, friend or lover knows when it is time to let go. do they want it or is it you? is it the sign of the sired growing up to a mature, capable vampire or have you just grown tired of dealing with them? do they leave as soon as they get a taste of freedom or choose to stay?

angst
1. hunted down | there are hunters after one or both of you. it is up to you to decide whether you stand your ground or you run. do you want to give in to their desire to kill you? do you want to do anything to keep your maker or your child safe?
2. tortured | there are those who enjoy to torture that which they don't understand, either out of malice or personal gain. have you found your companion yet and will they ever be the same again?
3. injured | one or both of you have been injured in a way that will not heal without blood and time to mend. how do you possibly deal with the vulnerability?
4. break | there is something broken in your bond, anger building between you and discontent whether you are aware of it or not. is there anything like your sire being ashamed of creating you? or your own offspring hating you?
5. resentment | one or neither of you wanted this and the resentment just grows more each day. can it be worked out or is there anything anyone can do to patch this up? is there any guilt for what you've inflicted on the other that you need to express?
6. the ending | it's time to meet the long sleep, to meet the sun and put an end to a very long, very difficult life. do you meet it together? do you send one of them away?

crime and punishment
1. disobeyed | your offspring disobewed and they must be punished for it. in what way will you choose and does it pain you to do so? how does it feel for your offspring to know they let you down?
2. higher power | it goes beyond a dispute between sire and sired this time and higher authorities are demanding punishment. how severe will it be? will you two ever see each other again?
3. murderer | one or both of you killed another vampire or a human deemed offlimits. how will you handle this? and what punishment awaits you?
4. animal | insanity can settle in over time, causing one to act in a way that they would never have thought possible. how do you handle this?
5. betrayal | you have betrayed your maker or your child in the worst way possible. do you confess or do they already know? how do you move past this?
6. secrets | there are dark secrets between the both of you. how do you deal with it and is it something that will sting deeply?

soft
1. gift | you have brought a special gift, for a special occasion or just because. you want to please the other in every way you can, maybe just to spoil them a little bit.
2. confession | you love each other, but you need to tell them just how deeply and in what ways.
3. staying | even though you have been told you can go, released, you are choosing to stay and you need them to understand just why.
4. forgiveness | you have fought and hurt each other, but it is time to show some forgiveness. what is done is in the past and it's time to move on.
5. comfort | it has been a long, trying time and it is time to seek comfort in the only one that you can, in whatever ways you will be able.
6. sharing | sharing each other's blood is an intimate experience, personal. you need that closeness right now, that even deeper connection.

smut
1. first time | it's the first time for you together ever or since turning. maybe one of you was a virgin in life and now you have to deal with that situation in death. is it special? terrifying? something that has been building for far too long?
2. mine | possessive, jealous. you need them to know who they belong to and just how much you need them.
3. owed | your sired owes you this, whether they want it or not. with you or with whomever you say. maybe your sired is forcing you into this, twisting that bond to make you bend to their will.
4. kinky | the best part of being undead? you don't have to worry about things like breathing or injuries. you can be as kinky or as rough as you want to be. experiment a little!
5. shared | you are being shared with another vampire or are being asked to share what's yours. how do you react? is it something that you both want anyway?
6. worship | as a maker or child, it is your duty to show how much you worship the other entirely, how much you want them.

[ If he had been able to raise his hand, just then, Dick would have stroked the back of Wally's wrist, held it in his still-warm fingers, kissed the inside, before he drank. ]

[ That wasn't an option just now. ]

[ It wasn't that there weren't things he would miss. Daylight, being warm, bringing something precious to a world where it seemed so gone, even if vampires lived among mortals all the time. ]

[ But he didn't want to die. And he didn't want to bring this kind of pain to Wally, over and over again. ]

Yes. I don't want to leave you.

[ He didn't close his eyes as his hurting throat swallowed the first swallow, a mix of blood and saliva. Then another one. He was looking up at Wally's face, knowing that it might be the last time he ever saw it as he did now, faint and dark and in pain as he was. ]

[ The redhead let out a small sigh as his blood began to flow into Dick's mouth - it was different, to be fed upon. It was even more different to give oneself willingly... rather than having it taken by force, to be fed the blood by force. Memories could move through the blood, and while a sire's control of it was limited, Wally did his best to make sure Dick got the best of him.

Light, to temper the darkness; he shared both, but he wanted Dick to be certain that he was the biggest source of light in his life more than anything else.

Wally's head rolled back some as he gave in to the flow, letting his preternatural heart pump into Dick's hunger. ]

I love you, bird... my bird.

[ Dick had known that this, eventually, would be what he'd choose - but he hadn't ever tried to taste blood, other than what he got from a split lip or something like that. So the taste was unfamiliar. He'd thought... he'd hoped that it would carry something of the way Wally smelled, with it, but that wasn't the case, just an odd, warm something underlying the metallic tang. ]

[ And, then, yes, memories came. Images and sights and sounds and flavors and smells, feelings and words, pain and pleasure. Sensations more intense than even Dick had ever known, flooding through him and taking what little was left of his breath away, overwhelming him but, oh, did he want to know more. Subconsciously, he raised his face as much as he could, tried to lap a little at the flow - not with any newfound thirst for the blood but his usual thirst for knowledge. ]

[ He didn't even notice when the change started, too enraptured by what was shared and the words cradling him in safety and promise and comfort. ]

[ But then it took hold, the change. ]

[ The pain from the beating? Had been nothing to this. Dick gave a weak, gurgling cry, and his back arched as his body tried to fight the changes that the blood were bringing it. His eyes rolled back in his head, and his breathing got hard, labored, hurting... ]

[ ... and then stopped altogether. ]

[ The cry. He knew that sort of cry, having given one himself and having been present when other vampires made their own fledglings. Hearing it from Dick's mouth tore deep into his slow-beating heart. Wally trained all of his senses on Dick entirely, letting his hearing and sense of smell penetrate as deep as they would go make sure all went well, even as the unavoidable grief took hold.

Dick was dead. He still had to rise.

He held Dick at a safe distance, despite the urge to hold that beloved body close. Convulsions and spasms. Violence. It had all been known to happen during the end stages of the change. It might not have happened, but it could. ]

You can do this, Dick... Please... [ That last word hushed, the whole of his being yearning in its single syllable for the object of its intention, pulling with it a few more stray tears of blood. ]

[ Dick's body did shake, as the muscles held tight because of pain went into convulsions. But he hadn't had enough strength for actual thrashing about, or flailing limbs. Just shaking. And then stillness. ]

[ Moments stretched, and no breath came from the body on the ground. Silence, as much as a city street could ever be silent. ]

[ No breath. ]

[ But, after some long, long moments, Dick's eyes opened. Not his eyes, exactly - in this first moment as something else, they were entirely the color of blood clot. ]

[ Even if he knew it might have been a sure thing, that silence- the lack of breath- had Wally so tense as to be in pain. Every inch of him ached with the uncertainty and the worry - that all-too-human reaction at the sight of someone's death, a loved one's death. Dick had just died and would be reborn... but he still died.

Then those eyes opened, and they were no longer the brilliant blue he had first fallen in love with. In time, he knew they would return to blue, a more dazzling blue than before. Still, he breathed out a sigh of relief. ]

Bird... [ Wally worked up a small smile. ]

You're probably going to have a headache... everything you can hear, smell, an see now... I'm here, though. Just try to focus on me.

[ Dick's arm came up, moving - too fast, too hard, gripping Wally's wrist too hard (holding on). The intensity of everything was beyond anything he could have imagined (is this what he feels all the time?) and it was. It was good, that Wally was there. That he was talking, because Dick needed the anchor of the familiar presence. ]

[ Even if it meant so much more, right now. ]

Don't go away.

[ Ugh, his voice sounded so loud in his own ears. He bit his lip, the exquisite pain (so much less than what was there moments ago, and yet so much clearer) of it making him focus, and added, quieter, more normal... to what he perceived now. ]

Please.

[ He was going to rise, in a little bit. Explore what everything meant, now. But not yet. Now, working on focusing on Wally was... plenty. ]

I couldn't even imagine it... [ Wally let Dick take a hold of him however much he needed, though a more instinctual part of his brain was tensing his body, preparing for any sort of attack. Being a vampire was letting the animal in all humans rest under weaker chains; it was having to face that force within each and every day. He expected Dick to take beautifully to it, but for right now... he just tightened his control on animal feeling, animal thinking.

With his free hand, he very slowly reached to cup Dick's cheek, going inhumanly slow so as to let Dick know it was coming. He wouldn't care if Dick bit him, but he didn't want Dick suffering the guilt of biting him unintentionally. ]

We're going to have to take a little trip after this, you know. Like the idea of mountains? [ The redhead's smile grew a little sharper. He was thinking of taking his- this made Dick his mate, now - taking his mate hunting, teaching him to properly hunt down prey and to hold back when needed... and knowing that eventually he'd have to give Dick a taste for human blood and make sure he could never be tortured over that. ]

[ Dick gasped. He didn't tense (the slow approach helped, for that), but he did gasp. The sensation was exquisite, too rich, but it also made him focus. Gave him a center, because the sights, the sounds, the scents, the touch of his clothes (and the air where they'd been torn through) - they were all too much, way too much. ]

[ He closed his eyes, and that also helped, then, just as slowly, sat up. The grace he'd had before? Was magnified a thousand times; a part of his mind filed away the mental note to see where this body's limits were, now. And fly. ]

[ Later. ]

[ When he opened his eyes again, he wasn't looking at everything (and able to see properly nothing) anymore. He was looking at Wally. ]

You have a plan. I... would like you to take me to the mountains, then.

[ He licked his lips. ]

It'll get worse, won't it. The thirst.

[ Would it hurt...? Wally held back the snort, the bitterness of his memories and the years that had sown them in him. ]

For a while, yes. There might be days you might even try to kill me. [ He began to brush his thumb very softly against the brunet's cheek. ]

It goes away, though. It'll settle down to... well, human levels, as far as I can remember those. Less, even. [ As time went on, Dick wouldn't need to feed every day, but that wasn't something they could debate right now. As immediate as some changes were, a constant supply of blood would be needed to keep Dick strong as his body continued to process everything.

Wally leaned in just as slowly as he had moved his hand and he pressed his lips to Dick's forehead. ]

Ready to test out these new legs of yours?

[ Dick considered that, crystalline thoughts following one after the other, as delicate pleasure webbed around Wally's touch on his cheek. ]

You won't let me. You won't let me kill you. Please.

[ He remained still for the kiss, the familiarity of the gesture helping him settle down in the influx of sensations more, and then nodded. ]

Yeah, I'd better.

[ Slowly, carefully, testing his strength AND control, he sat up, then his lips parted as he almost tasted the air, the small change in position enough to change the information he was getting. Then he looked aver at Wally. ]

In case I forget, in case it gets really bad and I lose sight of it for a while...

[ Dick turned a tentative, but still bright smile at the older vampire. ]

Thanks for saving my life.

[ The plea in Dick's voice just added one more layer of heartbreak to the elder vampire's soul. He knew then that he wouldn't let Dick do anything he would regret forever, and that he would be there to comfort him from all of the unavoidable, little regrets. He knew Dick would do many things that the part of him that would always be human would loathe.

He leaned back as Dick sat up and gave him as bright a smile as he could muster in turn. ]

You're already doing better than any other fledgling I've known... [ And with some-thousand years under his belt already, he'd seen quite a few.

Slowly, Wally continued to pull away from Dick, till he was to his feet and backing away from the black-haired creature of his blood. ]

You can do this.

[ Dick watched him move. He could see so much more in Wally's motions, now, the suppressed speed, the strength. How much had it cost him, all this time, to handle Dick as gently as he had? All that control. ]

[ All this love. ]

[ His sire's worry was almost palpable, to Dick, and he took a moment to think of what he could do to alleviate it. But there was no way, he suspected. Wally was always going to worry, and there was probably good enough reason for it (he'd just been lying on the ground, bleeding, after all). But he could distract him. Or, at least, he could try. ]

[ The newborn vampire half-closed his eyes. Which was all the warning there was. ]

[ Instead of simply attempting to rise to his feet? Dick did one of his undignified motions, the ones that probably landed him on the dirt here, too. ]

[ He flipped back to a hand-stand, and then to a graceful landing upright. It had never been so easy - in fact, he overbalanced (too much strength!) and then caught himself. Then spread his arms, showing himself off. ]

[ For just a second, Wally wasn't sure if Dick was going to fall flat or if he was actually going to land it. He'd seen fledglings do amazing things in the first moments of their new lives, but Dick was already amazing, used to doing amazing things. Overshooting was a possibility he had considered, and he wasn't exactly proven wrong.

A half-smile tugged at his lips, holding back the bark of a laugh that wanted to bound past their guard. But there was Dick, showing himself off, stained with blood in the dark. ]

I think I've woken up a wild little godling, haven't I? [ In one instant, the redhead was standing right in front of Dick, his arms like adamant in their hold about the brunet's waist. He wasn't planning on holding back too much anymore. Part of it was joy at the new freedom; part of it was the instinct every maker had for their fledgling - "Know there are those better than you." Some things were hard to fight, strong as they were in the blood, but the look in Wally's green eyes tempered that hard edge.

He loved Dick. He loved his mate. ]

That remains to be seen.

[ Oh. Oh. This was so very different. Both moving, and being held like this. After a very slight shift, he knew that Wally wasn't about to let him go. ]

[ So he did something else, completely forgetting just how much blood was on him for the moment. Maybe because he didn't know what not smelling of it would be like. ]

[ Anyway, he leaned forward, and crushed his lips against Wally's. This? This he'd waited for, for a very long time. ]

[ They'd shared kisses before, but Wally always practiced restraint. It wasn't that he could inadvertently injure Dick - he could, but that was never the worry - it was that he had never wanted to overpower Dick. He could have easily taken everything from his love when he was still a human, but now- now things were equal (more equal, if that were even possible).

Wally wasted no time in deepening the kiss, working his lips hungrily against the brunet's and seeking to play a brand new game with him. ]

Oh.

[ It was a faint breath against Wally's lips, but the kiss, the mere kiss? It was way more overwhelming than the whole world around him, and it was. It was more than he had reference to conceptualize. ]

[ The half-step he took closer was unconscious, and so was melting against his sire. But he needed both the heightened sensation and the support, right now. ]

[ Not needing to breathe all that much also meant that the kiss could go on for quite some time, except that, getting this excited made Dick's fangs ache, and he made a noise of distress, pulling back and using his tongue to press against the sharper canines. ]

These will make kissing awkward, won't they?

[ A moment, and he was back to more curious than upset. His eyes had started slowly clearing, though they were still too dark, instead of the nearly iridescent blue they would become, in a few hours. ]

[ They could have kissed for days if they wanted, maybe. It wasn't so much of a stretch, but even for a vampire, Wally's patience was short. He would have been glad to move on to all the deeper pleasures beyond kissing and spend days on those.

Still, the way Dick pulled back alerted him and he blinked in confusion at the question. And then he smirked faintly. ]

Maybe if you're going to go around kissing mortals, but I don't mind a little bite. [ Which... did bring them to another subject. Wally pressed close to his beloved and gave him a warm, fond look. As warm as vampires could manage. ]

Speaking of, you realize you have far more freedom now, right? [ And responsibility with it. ] Hunting isn't always just about... the blood.

[ Dick was grinning, at the near-purr of Wally's preference. It was good to know. Then his eyebrows dipped a little, as he tried to figure out the next part, and the rest... ]

[ He froze, at the last word. ]

[ Blood. ]

[ The idea washed over him, wiping out any other thought from his mind. He licked his lips, his body turning tense, dangerous, and he smelled the air, looking for blood. He could smell a lot of it, very near, but it was old, drying. Not part of a heartbeat. Soiled with dirt. A moment later, enough awareness returned to him to remind him that it was his own blood, and he wrinkled his nose in disgust, both to the quality of blood and at the idea of drinking his own. ]

[ Any hint of flirtation was obliterated from his body language. He loved Wally, he did - but he was also a newborn vampire reminded of his thirst. It might take a bit to get that under enough control for higher emotions to reassert themselves. ]

[ The elder vampire frowned at the sudden change in his lover's body - it took him a second, maybe a second and a half to notice what it was that Dick was smelling. He could smell it now - it wasn't as unappealing to him, having not come from him, but there was still the taint of earth mixed in with the blood, the taint of death as well. It was one thing to drink from a dying creature, and another to drink blood spilled from a creature already dead. It could start to stagnate like water and mean illness for their kind.

But then there was more to it now, wasn't there? Wally mentally sighed. He was hoping they would get more of a chance to just revel in this new life, but it was better to teach him how to feed now, rather than later. ]

Time to feed, my Robin. [ But then he took another look at Dick and sighed. ] Maybe we should clean you up first.

[ He blinked hard, each of the lid motions seeming to clear some of the bloody film from his eyes. He licked his lips, then canted his head, then looked down at himself. ]

That bad, am I? I think there's a river...

[ A deep breath, tasting the air, and he looked to the North. ]

That way.

[ Because water was the best way to get cleaned, right? ]

[ Wally turned his head in the direction Dick indicated, his senses far more honed by age at this point. Dick might have had more intensity on his side with his youth, the freshness of all that blood still in him, but Wally had millennia of experience - he could pick out different bodies of water on the air - ones animals favored - ones that were dangerous to be near and so on. This one was fine.

He looked to Dick and nodded once. ]

Best we get those legs of yours used to moving then.

[ His lips quirked a bit, and then he was gone with a vampire's speed, and Wally was faster than the average vampire. He wasn't going to coddle his love (much) anymore. ]

Oh, they're already--

[ And then Wally was gone, and Dick could see him moving, but, by all the gods of skies and air, he was fast. And he was so, so beautiful that Dick wasted a moment just admiring the sight, imprinted in the backs of his eyes, before dashing off after him. ]

[ Well, he wasn't quite as fast. ]

[ And, trying to catch up, he wasn't as graceful running, either as Wally or as his other motions. He considered changing the motion to leaping from tree to tree (he could!) but decided against it. This was a lesson. And, even if he couldn't be as fast as Wally, he should at least learn to keep up, over distances. ]

Have I mentioned I've never seen anything as dashing as you?

[ He was calling ahead, not too loud, because he knew Wally's ears would catch the words and know they were for him and him alone. But he couldn't resist speaking out what he was feeling. ]

[ Wally's ears picked up on Dick's words and he smiled faintly to himself as he continued to race ahead. He slowed down so the distance between them did not continue to grow, though. Still, at that speed, the world would have seemed a blur, if not for their predator's eyes, which focused just enough to make out what was necessary in the rush of light and color.

The smell of water got stronger, and in a matter of seconds, they'd be at the water Dick had originally indicated. It was a spring, of the sort people found in mountains, though this one was low-lying. The water smelled especially clean here and ran with a smooth sound. A perfect place for their first night as fellow immortals. ]

You're still the peak of excellence, my night-bird. [ His words were offered just as softly as Dick's had been as he waited by the water's edge. ]

[ Yeah, Dick, speeding up as he had been, couldn't just skid to a halt. With all that momentum, he dove forward and up, his body, obediently amazing, let him flip in the air more times than he knew was possible. For a human. ]

[ He wasn't, any longer. ]

[ He landed right on the edge of the water, a little lower than where Wally was standing, with perfect balance. ]

Oh, I think you still have a lot to teach me. About so many things.

[ Then the exhilaration-from-the-run smile slowly morphed into something else entirely. ]

And now you - we have all the time for it. All the time.
