Second character from Hellsing! Her reaction is pretty easy to write – as long as you're not a die-hard Alucard/Ceras 'shipper. I'm not, so no worries. XD

From A Splintered Vein

Part 8: Bittersweet: Ceras Victoria

By: Ceris Malfoy


Ceres is like Ikuku, in a way, in that she is delighted with this relationship. She is delighted with Usagi – she likes the younger woman, finds both her mannerisms and scent soothing to the bloodlust she is only just beginning to experience in full, as she has only been a full-fledged vampire for close to 20 years, half of which were spent recovering from the near-starvation she had out herself through in her fledgling mindless hunger, the whispering madness that is part and parcel of her Sire's line has only just begun to creep out, but it has (so far) been thankfully tampered by her own patient, if not gentle, nature. Usagi's presence, she finds, helps her keep control of herself; helps he ignore the maddening whispers that speak of conquest and power and pleasure.

Knowing as she does that what she feels is only a small grain of sand to Alucard's vast desert, she is happy that Usagi exists and loves her Sire.

She is also proud of her Sire, because there is a soft, aching sadness behind Usagi's ephemeral eyes. A sadness Ceras recognizes because she has gone through the same sort of thing herself – it is a sadness born of constant rejection, constant not-belonging, constant usage. She is proud of her Sire, because the longer the relationship continues, the further that sadness recedes.

She waits patiently for the day that sadness will disappear completely from those drowning blue depths.

Ceres' happiness is tempered by a deep and lasting melancholy, because she can't help but wonder if that love is the type her and Pip could have shared.


Don't have much to say about this one – Ceras pretty much speaks for herself. Let me know what you think?

BTW, who do you guys want to see done next?
