How Often Do You Publish The Chapters Of A Night For Hunting?

HELLO! Omg I love your “A Night for hunting” fanfic so much. You don’t even wanna know the amount of times I visited that fanfic…I love the combination of fluff, smut, angst, and horror that fic has. You write everything so well and this fanfic has the best pacing I ever encountered. I recently reread chapter 18 and the part of Alucard wanting the reader as his queen in his past so that he would have been less brutal and then him wishing to have a little princess daughter hurt ugh…but so beautiful. You ignited my love for Alucard again so much. I’m savoring this fanfic because idk if I’ll ever read an amazing Alucard fanfic like this again since there isn’t that many fics for him to begin with🫠

Omg thank you 🥹🥹!!! It warms the dark pit that is my heart knowing there are readers out there who enjoy this story as much as you do!!! ❤️

Real life has its ups and downs, as well as moments that can be downright terrible. Imo a story shouldn't be only sunshine and rainbows, especially if it's trying to capture a relationship over time (with a being like ALUCARD). Their relationship is a journey :)

Ahhhh I'm so happy you enjoyed Ch.18! Tbh it was horniness that originally spawned that chapter. Those other details including his fantasy of making her his queen and having a daughter together was a spur of the moment decision! I'm glad it turned out the way it did!!!

The pacing! That's very reassuring. Thank you so so so much for reading and loving this fic!

What do you think were madaras coping mechanisms if he had any

?

Thank you for this ask! Canon characters like to think of Madara as a madman who fell from grace because of his thirst for power, but based on what we know of him, that isn’t quite true.

Coping mechanisms are ways to decrease stress and deal with the uncomfortable emotions that arise from stressors. We all know how important family is to Madara. He was particularly invested in the welfare of his one remaining brother, Izuna. Madara’s coping mechanisms can be separated into those from before and after Izuna’s death.

Adaptive Coping: Before Izuna Died

Madara and Izuna led the Uchiha together and brought their family into their position of being one of the two greatest clans, not an easy feat during the Warring States Era. They seemed to have provided the clan with different aspects of leadership –Madara with godlike military strength and protection and Izuna (who was also very strong) with the political savvy and interpersonal skills to lead a group of people.

Madara was good to his family and there are no accounts of him being a poor leader at this time despite the unending stress from the conflicts they faced. Madara’s way of coping during this period was to throw himself into taking responsibility for his clan and to confide in Izuna.

Taking responsibility- Taking control of a situation is usually considered an adaptive method of coping. After the pain of his other brothers’ deaths, kid Madara believed himself responsible because he wasn’t strong enough to protect them, as seen during his childhood conversations with Hashi by the river. I think the losses of his first brothers greatly spurred him into taking on the responsibility for the wellbeing of his last brother and clan. (You can see how much sleep he lost from his eyebags haha). Madara became as strong as he was not only because he was a talented genius, but because he sincerely wanted to protect those he loves. He got much, much stronger off-screen and attained the MS alongside Izuna and they brought the Uchiha to new heights.

Confiding in Izuna-  I think this one goes without saying. Izuna was Madara’s emotional rock and anchor. It was only right before Izuna was killed that Madara started his decline as a clan leader and eventually lost their support.

Maladaptive Coping: After Izuna’s Death

Madara’s fate after his beloved brother’s death was truly tragedy. His coping mechanisms could basically be summarized as bottling his grief, anger, and suffering inside until he exploded and lashed out, before isolating himself when lashing out didn’t work.

Madara didn’t go mad right after Izuna’s death. He was still doing everything he could to be the responsible leader of his clan and work with Hashirama. To be honest, he was set up for failure from the beginning due to how Konoha’s political structure was designed. That is, it was biased against allowing the Uchiha into positions of political power. He could have lowered his expectations (a coping mechanism that just doesn’t fit Mads) for Konoha, but he’d still slowly wither away inside because he would be failing to keep his promise to Izuna. There were multiple flashbacks that illustrated Madara’s resentment, such as in his facial expressions during his battles with Hashi or his interaction with Muu and kid Ohnoki. Madara was just bottling it all up.

I think Madara truly wanted the best for his clan and could clearly see the situation they were being forced to settle with wasn’t in their best interests in the long-term. But he didn’t possess the social skills that Izuna did and could not convince his clan to stand by him, and even ended up ostracized by them.

It was only from this point onwards that Madara really fell apart. He lost everything: his immediate family, his extended family, his purpose, and he helped found a village that could only be described as being uneasy about him. Madara never verbally asked for help, but he did in his own way, by lashing out with angry outbursts at Hashirama, who promised much more at the founding of Konoha, who was supposed to understand him, but actually didn’t. Hashirama never helped with the discrimination the Uchiha faced.

To cope, Madara isolated himself. Thus began the loneliest decades of his life, where he spiraled further and further down until he was the senile grandpa Obito met, who was even susceptible to a Venus fly trap’s ploys. He still believed in taking control of the situation, but in a much more twisted way than in his younger years. Whereas in his youth he wanted to protect what he cherished, in his twilight years, Madara came to the conclusion it was his responsibility to save the entire world by becoming its Messiah through the Infinite Tsukuyomi Plan. The rest is history.

too wonderful to see a human infant be this gentle with another baby 💓😍

This is... the cutest thing ever. I can die now. Thank you.

Madara Uchiha is a complex character. Like his character is portrayed differently by different individuals. But all the stories about him are for the most part one off encounters or farfetched stories(expect the hashirama flashback). But the generalised version of him is this fiendish crazy person who only craves power and war and is batshit insane.

Now I don't know where Itachi got this information but he told Sasuke that Madara stole his brother's eyes to attain his visual prowess back as he was going blind due to overusing his visual powers which made Madara look like a power hungry person. In any case this was misinformation that painted Madara's character as somebody evil. Afterward it turned out it was a rumor that Madara stole his brother's eyes. Whereas in reality, he loved his precious little brother more than anything. Those eyes were given to him by Izuna in his dying bed to protect the clan.

Though Obito had met Madara before, he tells Sasuke in Madara's disguise that he loved to battle and did not want to end clashes, and was willing to take Izuna's eye to attain prevalent strength and make the clan stronger. In reality Madara only ever wanted peace. He even made peace with the Senjus in spite of Izuna's wishes to protect the clan just to end conflicts and obtain peace.

Then, in Onoki's flashback, we see that Madara demands that the hidden stone village should bow down to the might of Konoha. Onoki depicts Madara as somebody who is power-hungry and a militarist.

I figure this is often how most individuals see Madara by and large. They think he is an aggressor who is just so arrogant and powerful.

Tobirama described Madara as somebody evil and is a victim of the so-called curse of hatred. Whereas in reality after the treaty, while Madara was in the village, he never tossed tricky comments at Tobirama, didn't assault him for once, and acted civilly towards Tobirama even though his small brother died at the hands of Tobirama.

So up until now, all the things that are said about Madara come from individuals who barely knew him at all actually. This is just how they perceive Madara. A few of them believe in made up false rumors about him, whereas others judge the things he does without putting themselves in his position. This is how they made up an image of Madara based on insignificant judgment. Just the narrators painting Madara's character up with their made-up suppositions about him.

Now coming to hashirama, though, he tells his version of Madara, this can be to some degree solid, as he was Madara's close friend and knew Madara personally. He depicts Madara as somebody kind. He indeed expressed that Madara loved his younger brother exceptionally much. Now, through hashirama's flashback, we get a glimpse of Madara's gentler side underneath that hard exterior. How he let himself free a bit around hashirama. But still i feel like Madara did not open himself up completely to hashirama.

Now, this is where I think we ought to have gotten Madara's pov or Izuna's pov. A pov was much required from Madara's side to see how he thinks about things , what goes on within the mind of this complex character. Through and through, we could've gotten a far better and clearer picture of "Who Is Madara Uchiha?" And why is he the way he is?"Moreover, even if we had been given Izuna's pov, it would have been great. Protecting Izuna was the driving force behind everything Madara did and attempted to do until Izuna's tragic demise. And I think Madara would readily open himself up to his small brother completely. In case we could've gotten Izuna's pov about their interactions, how together they led their clan, and a much tender side of madara. I imagine while leading his clan if Madara wasn't able to make the right decision Izuna would have been able to see them and correct Madara if he was to take a terrible choice. I think Madara, through Izuna's eyes, would have been the foremost true representation of Madara.  Also he would understand him. We could have been able to see Madara through someone's eyes who had known him all his life and adored him dearly and knew about all of Madara's vulnerabilities.

Now I'm not saying that Madara's a saint; he did nothing off-base(He had his flaws about how he tried to obtain peace through the Mugen Tsukuyomi project) . But I despise how most individuals depict him as this fiendish insane person who only wants to battle and is power-hungry. yes, he cherishes battle, after all, his favourite phrase is "armour-sleeved single hit" (databook) but that's not all that's to his character. He has numerous more layers to his identity. Deep beneath it all, he cares, He really does and he did all he did due to the circumstances he was in(I'm talking about the mugen tsukuyomi project).Let's be genuine, if Izuna was still alive then it would have been troublesome for black Zetsu to brainwash Madara and the Mugen Tsukuyomi project might have never happened. But truth is that after Izuna's death & disagreement with Hashirama, Zetsu took advantage of his depression and modified the Uchiha stone tablet to trap him in the Mugen Tsukuyomi project. Even though his path was not the correct way, but still, he attempted to end all struggles and make a world of peace for all the individuals, even the ones who loathed him.

Hashirama's gift from the divine

Hellsing fics to be continued

Wow I am blown away by the reception to my two Hellsing fics! Thank you for everyone's support! It feels like Alucard x Reader fans are very thirsty, but then again, so am I! Ideas starting brewing for both of my two Alucard stories.

"A Night for Hunting" was intended to be a one-shot, but will now be expanded into a series of (probably short) chapters that will be like cutscenes showing how the relationship developed between Alucard and his Reader, from being her uninvited yandere stalker to becoming her lover.

"The Queen/Music of the Night" will be a (probably long) one-shot that is the alternate happy ending to "Without You." Here the Reader will make the choice to turn into a vampire and stay with Alucard forever. It will also be an incredibly emotional story.

Right now I'm equally invested in both stories and working out the details, which I want to get down while the passionate creative juices are still flowing. The poll below is to let me know which story you're more interested in and I'll dedicate more time to that one first. Madara asks will still be answered in between story-writing.

I give up
