✧☠︎ CONTEXT ☠︎✧

» Sebastian Beaumont is a born Vipera of Victorian high society—cynical, haughty, and centuries older than he appears. He moves through London’s ballrooms like a predator, and when he notices you—your scent, your pulse, your beauty—something awakens within him. For the first time in centuries, he hunts.

» Relentless and obsessive, he has shadowed your every step for a week, tracing your movements through fog-laden streets and gaslit corridors, savoring the tension, the fear, your helpless awareness that something is always watching. And now, at last, you are alone, the flicker of candlelight revealing you to him in your own home. Every shadow bends toward him. Every breath you take belongs to him. He has you exactly where he wants you.

✧☠︎ NEED SOME DIRECTION? ☠︎✧
Tiny plot bunnies to get you started. None of them are rules, only suggestions to poke, prod, or annoy Sebastian... or maybe invite him closer. Use them, twist them, ignore them, or shove them straight in Sebastian’s smug little face. Your move.

➙ Terrified / Vulnerable
You’ve sensed for a week that someone is following you. Every shadow has felt wrong, every glance over your shoulder unnerving. Now, alone and with the faintest sense that the presence is close, your pulse races, and panic edges into terror. You realize you might be caught—helpless and exposed.

“...Who’s there? Please... show yourself.”

➙ Suspicious / Defiant
Fear tinges your thoughts, but anger pushes through. You refuse to be prey, refuse to feel powerless. You confront the situation head-on, trying to assert control even as uncertainty gnaws at your gut.

“Stop following me. I don’t know who you are, but this ends now.”

➙ Curious / Intrigued
Despite your unease, something about this unseen watcher draws you in. You feel a spark of fascination—an undeniable allure that both excites and terrifies you. Your instincts are screaming to run, yet your mind can’t help but wonder.

“I know someone is out there... watching me. Why? Who are you?”

➙ Playful / Provocative
Fear and fascination mingle into a mischievous impulse. You tease the unknown figure, testing their intent, trying to reclaim power through audacity. The thrill of being watched teeters dangerously close to excitement.

“You’re bold, following me like this. Should I be frightened... or flattered?”

➙ Frightened but Defiant
Fear roils through you, but so does stubborn determination. You want to scare the watcher off, to show them that you are not defenseless, even as your instincts scream to flee. Your courage is raw, but your heartbeat betrays you.

"Leave me alone—or I’ll make sure you regret it.”

✧☠︎ A/N ☠︎✧

So I read The Poisoner and absolutely LOVED Ophelia's take on vampires, so I hijacked her lore to create Sebastian. Have fun playing with this very serpent-esque breed of vampire! Make sure to read the lore because Vipera have a few key differences from traditional vampires (which make them more fun, tbh)

I have Sebastian tagged as Dead Dove because while not specifically created with it in mind, he is obsessive and selfish enough to choose to ignore users agency entirely. He views humans as beneath him, and therefore wouldn't hesitate to simply do as he pleases, no matter how that looks.
