There might also be fanfictions that put Eric Santino in different time periods or settings within the Vampire Chronicles lore. This can add a whole new dimension to his character and the story, like seeing him in an ancient vampire society or during a modern - day vampire crisis.
Another place could be FanFiction.net. There are many users who post their fan - made stories there. Just use the search function and type in 'Eric Santino Vampire Chronicles' to see what comes up.
One popular plotline is Sookie and Eric facing a powerful new vampire threat together. They have to combine their powers and wits to defeat it. Another is them dealing with the politics of the vampire world, like Eric trying to gain more power while Sookie is caught in the middle. And sometimes there are plotlines about Sookie exploring her own powers more deeply with Eric's help.
Some common themes are power struggles. Vampires are often depicted as having a hierarchical society, and fanfictions might explore the battles for dominance within this structure. The theme of redemption also appears, where a vampire tries to atone for their past sins, perhaps due to falling in love with a human or having a moral awakening. And, of course, the theme of the vampire - human relationship, whether it's a romantic one or a more predatory one.
In this fanfiction scenario, it could lead to a whole new dynamic in their relationship. Sookie, as a human, has her own set of morals and values. But becoming a vampire would change her completely. Eric might do it out of love or perhaps for his own gain. If he turns her, she would have to adapt to a new way of life, dealing with the thirst for blood and the vampire hierarchy.
Sookie often develops by becoming more confident in her abilities. In many fanfictions, she starts off a bit naive but as she spends more time with Eric, she learns about the vampire world and becomes more assertive. Eric, on the other hand, can develop a softer side. His interactions with Sookie make him more in touch with his emotions.
There could be fanfictions that focus on their relationship development from a different perspective. Maybe a story where Eric has to win Ariel's heart all over again after she temporarily loses her memory due to a magic spell. In such a story, we can see how deep their love really is as Eric tries various ways to make Ariel fall in love with him once more.
One interesting Vampire Chronicles slash fanfiction could be those that explore the relationship between Lestat and Louis in a different light. Maybe it shows their bond growing in a more modern setting, with new challenges they have to face together. For example, they could be dealing with modern vampire hunters who use advanced technology.
A theme that can't be ignored is the transformation. Sometimes Tris undergoes a transformation, either physically or in terms of her understanding of the world. It could be that she becomes more like a vampire or gains a new perspective on life. And the overarching theme of good vs. evil, with Eric and Tris often on the side of good, fighting against the more malevolent vampires or entities in the fanfiction.
One popular type might be those that explore their relationship post - show events. For example, stories where they travel together and face new challenges in a different city. Another could be ones that focus on their first meeting from an alternative perspective, like what if they met in a different setting other than the school in the original story.
Well, if John Wick spared Santino, it could lead to a whole new dynamic in the story. Maybe they form an unlikely alliance or Santino owes him a big favor.
