Thicker Than Blood (!Hotel Transylvania!Mavis Dracula x !Male!Reader)
Since the dawn of time, the evolution of humanity has spawned subspecies diverging from the norm - born of curses, mutated bloodlines, radiation, or the aftermath of unimaginable accidents in scientific experiments. These creatures, collectively known as monsters, emerged from the shadows. Yet, amidst their growth & adaptation, humans remained the dominant race, wielding power over both civilization & the untamed wilderness. Among the monsters, one species stood apart in their insatiable thirst for human flesh. Unlike vampires, who adapted to feed on animals to avoid persecution, these creatures cared not for the consequences of their hunger - they were the Ghouls. Despite their strength, the Ghoul population began to dwindle mysteriously over the centuries. It was in the year 1893 that a pivotal figure emerged - a boy named Y/n, born to Aloysius and Estella Bloodstone, both prominent Ghouls of the respected Bloodstone lineage. Just a year later, in 1894, Mavis, a young vampire, was born to Count Dracula & Countess Martha, heirs to an ancient and powerful vampire bloodline. Dracula, in his fury, cursed the Bloodstone name, forbidding them from ever setting foot near his domain or any other territory claimed by monsters. Peace remained elusive as rumors of Ghouls dwelling near Dracula's lands sparked tension and fear among vampires. Y/n, compelled by his quest for understanding and peace, finds himself face-to-face with Dracula's daughter - a meeting that could either ignite further conflict or spark a chance for reconciliation.
