General Fics
Stories focused on the family and the friendly relationships of the cast. Plot-focused stories or light day-in-the-life stories. Pretty much anything that isn't focused on romance.
Turning Teeth
by thebrillaintgrandmaster
- Recommended by: Grand Methuselah 67
- Status: Ongoing
- Synopsis: Algernon Blake was your average writer trying to make it big in Hollywood. But after a one-night stand, he's pulled into a Byzantine world of intrigue and manipulation among the undead. Can Algernon retain his humanity while satisfying the beast that rests within? A retelling of Vampire: the Masquerade Bloodlines with a male Tremere. Minor story differences.
- Comments: A retelling of the story of Bloodlines with vampire politics and lore woven in. This gives much-needed context to the story and elaborates on the things going on behind the scenes with figures like Bach, LaCroix, and Strauss. Very snarky and interesting Dresden Files-esque narration from the protagonist as he slowly becomes more and more of a monster.
Shipping Fics
Stories focused on the romantic relationships between the cast.
Occlusion by an unknown writer (account has been orphaned)
- Recommended by: Ximei
- Status: dead
- Pairing(s): Sebastian LaCroix/OC
- Synopsis: Games within games, played ever in darkness. Manipulation, treachery, rules twisted and broken. Blood sings and whispers, and he falls as she rises, to what end?
- Comments: A story weaving vampire politics with a burgeoning, unlikely romance between Sebastian LaCroix and a Tremere neonate by the name of Claire Farington. The story boasts accurate characterization, an attention to detail, a well-balanced plot and an OC which is actually interesting to read about.
Goodbye to Sleep by hartstrings
- Recommended by: Dracosolon
- Status: complete
- Pairing(s): Nines Rodriguez/OC
- Synopsis: Nines helps Mary, a human woman, escape a bad situation. To his horror, five years later she returns to him as the nosferatu fledgling he put his neck on the line for. Together they try to hold onto what glimmers of humanity are left to them - and reconsider what a monster truly is.
- Comments: A trilogy where the middle part constitutes a liberal adaptation of the game's plot, with great characterization of the game's cast and a lot of focus on the Nosferatu clan. The author also has a a Tumblr featuring a lot of art of the characters.
