Finally done! (Sorry for the wait - my beta reader's had to deal with a seriously uncooperative couple of weeks) Total word count now comes to 16,000 words, which I am embarrassed to admit makes this truly gratuitous AU the single longest fic I've yet finished in this fandom (even
Chain of Command barely made 12,000). clearly this only means I need

Unfortunately I know little to nothing about vampire fiction (I generally avoid it because I find it either too creepy when it's genuine horror like Bram Stoker's Dracula, or too irritating when it's genuine crap like Twilight, and I may like some angst but there is no way I could read an Anne Rice's book), so I'm afraid I've missed all the references ^^"

Eh, admittedly a few were references to things even I know mostly by reputation (plus a couple of vampire books I read back in my own angsty teen years). I'm also counting a few things more along the lines of Buffy than Dracula. =P

Been trying to find references to stuff; I'm pretty sure I found three (possibly four?) but... urgh I'm so bad at all of that XD
And yes, it is all so much ♥ upon rereading. Of course, you realize that your ending has opened up a fair chunk of questions and possibilities as well? ;) (..... and left me wanting more Sol/Ky)

Out of curiousity, which possibly-four did you think you found? ;)

Oh, I know - but I have to admit I don't have much more of the backstory figured out than what made it into the story. ^^; (The Sol/Ky stuff took priority over that aspect of the plot - I figured most people wouldn't mind.)

I've picked up on some stuff such as the Anne Rice novel reference in this chapter, but vampire fiction tends to borrow so much from other sources that it's impossible to figure out what came from where OTL

Believe it or not, that's about the only one that was mostly an accident: "Well obviously Justice has to be Vampire #0, but mecha-suited vampires don't really work, so let's refer to her like some kind of vamp royalty... huh, wasn't there some Anne Rice book about a vampire queen? Never did read it." I actually dropped a couple of specific names in the first chapter, though there is a lot of general stuff that didn't come from anywhere in particular (like Ky's comment about vampires perpetually claiming to be the 'one' example in the world who got out of being evil). Maybe I should just post a list at some point. ^^;
