//Oohoho. Just finished Ch 8. THE PLOT THICKENS! But seriously tho I’m enjoying this so much, so many wonderful details. You guys are doing a gr8 job. I always thought this was one of the very few fandoms where you COULDN’T make a coffee shop AU work, but… it’s working!! (Loving the angst too. Even in a coffee shop AU, these idiot boys manage to fuck everything up, lmao.)

Thank u thank u!

@wicked-felina and I are trying to include as many canon-compliant details as we can (hello Armand flirting w/ the blender, lol), and I personally have to satisfy my RL best friend who is a coffee aficionado (gotta prove to her that we know wtf we’re writing about, lol)… We’re using most of the ideas we come up with but we do have some spin-off chapters that may come later when the fic is finished.

…Psssst we would also love fanart of any of it, if anyone is so inspired…

I didn’t think a coffee shop AU was possible for VC either, but yes, from all the lovely comments we’ve been getting on it, it is working ^______^ 

(Loving the angst too. Even in a coffee shop AU, these idiot boys manage to fuck everything up, lmao.)

^This is why it’s working, bc we’re absolutely devoted to keeping them as IC as possible. Some canon-diversion has been necessary, and being AU, it’s naturally got a more comical bent, but yeah… we’re trying to keep them IC ;D

We love this pile of dysfunctional vampires hipsters.

hi hi hi, I don’t exactly have a question but I just wanted to drop in real quick and compliment this coffee shop AU ;u; I’m new to this fandom and it’s sad to see so little fan activity, but this little gem is just so precious and makes up for it; it’s uplifting to see it regularly updated and cared about and I just wanted to (immensely) thank you for writing about these drama queens~ <3

Welcome to our little corner of tumblrand, and mon dieu, a compliment like this is pure gold. PURE GOLD. As is our AU! Pure gold ;D

[X @yallpacinowhen you find a really good alternative universe fanfiction]

If you love our Signature Blend, @wicked-felina also has another great VC AU (WIP) you should check out, The Grim Brothers. It’s a “VC take on Red Riding Hood,” as heartfelt and fun as our AU, it was one of the first AUs I really loved ❤

Hit the jump for more, cut for length.

“and it’s sad to see so little fan activity,”

Yeah, the war on fanfic crushed us in the 90′s + AR’s war on her fandom (and critics in general) in the early 2000′s drove us all underground, and only recently are things picking back up. We are making fanworks tho, you can check out our recent blast of them from our @vcsecretgifts exchange, the #2016 VC Secret Santa… and also:

“but this little gem is just so precious and makes up for it; it’s uplifting to see it regularly updated and cared about and I just wanted to (immensely) thank you for writing about these drama queens~ <3″

Merciiiii! We are loving writing it, too, some of the scenes, it’s as if we’re right there with them, witnessing the drama firsthand. I’m not sure I can let @wicked-felina go back to writing her solo stuff too soon after this is finished… 

I loved the new chapter, but ahhh, why can’t all my babies just get along??? Lol. I can almost imagine the four of them going on a double date. Sounds like the definition of disaster.

Thank you! omg! @wicked-felina lookit this! Ppl are loving our dysfunctional vampire AU babies! Double date you say? What an idea…. Yeah there’d probably be a foodfight, at the very least.

ANYWAY the next chapter is ready early and I have permission to post it so UP IT GOES… 

We are talking about Signature Blend, our coffee shop AU, in case I haven’t spammed you enough about it….

I shall say I’m enjoying your coffee shop AU more than what I thought. There were lots of parts where I cracked up, I know how it is to have your name mispelled on drinks! I’ll look forward the next chapters~

Let us love you! We have more goodies in store for that AU, and it may spawn other stories. Drink up! ;D

Oh yes, the misspellings were one of the very first ideas… gotta get more of that in there…
