Strawpage anon asks: Hello! I just had a tiny question, will you ever contine the vamp au fic?
hi! pls consider all current #OPVampAU fics a first draft! i'd love to go back to that au but it's a bit of mentally taxing to work on sometimes, i also think it'd work much better if i didn't try to write it as a linear story but rather bits/episodes. it's much more about the atmosphere.
strawpage ask: Self indulgent but. Perhaps. What would vampire Strawhats be like in that vamp au you have….halloween mood sorry I just love your au and your style
#OPVampAU first thanks for telling me and also i know you're likely asking for me to draw them but there wouldn't be any reasons to as they'd look the same but cadaveric.
luffy's appearance in the au is because of his vampire ability which are pretty rare and his turned out to be very visible.

i posted 2 snippets (650 words) from the first (and incomplete) chapter of Our Captain Always, the arc after Learning Shame. i wrote it i don't know how long ago but i really like those two scenes specifically so i'd really like also if you'd read them! there's a tiny bit of context also.
"Do you like it?" Hancock asks holding a mirror for Luffy. His is hair short, is one remaining eye red from bloodthirst, the other empty. Stress bites splits his lips. The bite that turned him plain and everlasting on his throat. He doesn't answer. She brings back the mirror, looking down at it. "I'm surprise you have a reflection, I was told vampires had none." Luffy hums, his back turned to us. "Usopp was disappointed too." "I wouldn't say disappointed-" "Thanks for the cut, Hancock." Luffy interupts. "Of course! Anything for my beloved!" She bashefully, happilly shakes her head around. "But, how have you been, really?" Luffy holds Doflamingo's eye in his forever bloodied claws. His face in shadows, it zones on the eye. "I don't know. Everything's-" He looks at it, his silhouette growing blurry.
"Everything's the same as always." He speaks a black mass off center, out of the panel, Hancock now faceless. They're in her room, on her pillows, the curtain drawn in close. She waits. "You've gotten paler. Thinner." Her image repeats unchanging. "Did you loose your appettite when you turned?" "I'm hungry all the time. And I was happy when I was able to eat again. Sanji's foor is as good as always." He pauses. "Nothing's changed." Luffy lookd down at the eye, the jaguar pattern of his Amazon Lily skirt turns into eyes that stare back right at him. We see the scars covering his legs but he's small in the frame. "Is it- Is it possible to kill someone twice? Or dozens of times over? My heart's beating again but-" His next words comes out just right of the speech bubble, missing it. "I don't know." The scars creeps in the background, lines, spiderwebs.
Luffy's face is out of the panel, only the back of his head and neck visible. Short hair and a bite. "I feel" the spiderwebs fills the entirety of the background, almost gently swaying in the wind. "so so stupid."
Law plants Kikoku deep within Luffy's skull, blood splattering. He hunches over him, trapping him in place with his legs, his face hidden under his hair and last remaining arm. His stump stop right where Kikoku starts, one of Luffy's arm bleeds behind it as if hurt by the juxtaposition alone. Luffy's larger than normal, his body bloody, seemingly liquid in places. He's faceless, the cross shaped scars on his chest and the many thin scars covering his legs are his only identifying features. His legs twist in pain, one hand reaching at nothing the other for an arm that's long gone. On the top and right side, uneven sharp teeth and fangs frame the piece, trapping both men in. Both are naked
Two sketches of vampire Luffy sitting while holding down Doflamingo's decapitated head. The first one has him with beetles wings, Mihawk's sword hide half his face, there's plants and a glowing skull in the coner. A large hand in the foreground stretches out like presenting him. The second is more detailed, with colors and lighting. This time the sword's shadow cast from the fire below obscures half of his face leaving mainly his eye visible. Among the decorative balls hanging in Cross Guild's tents a vampiric red hand lowers to juxtapose a bloodthirsty eyes where Luffy's left eye should be. Behind him in the darkness we can guess Buggy's hand clenched around the couch and Crocodile's resting on Luffy's shoulder. In the foreground in white a dead wasp lie turned down, "spare" written underneath it.
Luffy looks down on the viewer, he's entirely covered in blood, his head a shoulder cast in deep shadows leaves only his unsettling glowing visible.
Vampire Luffy post Learning Shame Arc gnaws at his hand with a frown then progressively bites his way up to his shoulder looking more relaxed. The red of bloodthirst slowly dissipates as he gets covered in his own blood, licking it off his skin with a soft smile, he chirps happily at the end. He's naked with thin scars all over his legs. Note: Love that trope where vampires are so hungry they start gnawing themselves.

Law making extremely intense eye contact.
Monet squish Law against her and lies to somehow off screen with "woah! didn't expect your there! how've you been?" while Law boringly wonders to himself "isn't that the guy who dumped her?". Two drawings of Law, the first show him dressed for a date: he wears a jean jacket the jacket has snow leopard themed fuzz around the collar and a jean short skirt. Under it he wears black turtleneck tank top, thighs and high boots and a golden necklace. The second shows him at home, wearing an Uta themed red and white bra, Bepo's oversized orange coat, a yellow heart patterned swimsuit boxer and has Stealth Black themed high socks, slippers and a mug he holds while going "what?"
Crocodad AU Luffy grumpily shows off his fire powers. Vampire AU Luffy looks at it in concern muttering "did you already have it or did Ace..." while Modern AU Luffy's eyes shines into stars "You guys got magic?!" he yells.

Animatic sketche of Vampire AU Law walking, he's missing an arm and hold Kikoku with the remaining one, stepping forward menacingly. Around him are Vampire Luffy's hands, his and Doflamingo's eyes are staring at Law in the background.
Same but clean and without that bottom up lightning, instead bright flat colors.
Same but Law is walking alone in the dark, a black bar over his eyes has "Overlook" written on it.
Storyboard showing different scenes planned for the animatic: 1 Law's point of view of Luffy being turned by Doflamingo. 2 Luffy being operated on by Law back in the Polar Tang. 3 Luffy running away from hands running after him, stairs overlaying with him & them. 4 Luffy not being Luffy. 5 Luffy in Gear 5 then celebrating in Flower Capital in a crowd, it zooms in on his face from a different angle "Got you" Luffy has disappeared from the crowd leaving an empty where he was, no one noticed. 6 Blood pours down, Luffy's chin is tilted up by a hand, he looks unwell but smile unnervingly, Doflamingo smiles back, bleeding from his neck. Twice a jaw closing is used as transition.
shout out to the various animatics i've started and never finished this years, starting with this one for the vamp au.

Luffy and Buggy chatting together on outdoor chairs at night. Luffy munches on skewers showing off someone's height with his hand while Buggy hold a drink, gaping and sweating in confused shock, holding his face. In Luffy's speech bubble, a single peach is visible.
