First Hellsing fic - the funeral scene, along with an introduction to Hellsing

And now, finally, for the first time this year (and the first time in...how many months?), there is a post with actual story.

It's not original, nor Harry Potter fic.  It is for the new fandom that I mentioned in my last few entries - Hellsing. 

I now have...five official Hellsing scenes that are in various stages of progress.  There are three or four other unofficial Hellsing scenes, that I doubt very much will ever be made public - maybe only here, just for the writing value, or to my fellow Hellsing friend.  The unofficial ones rely too much on the details that I've created around what we have in canon, and some OCs of my own.

But, the first one that I started is finally in the final draft, after going through two rounds of editing with my beta, not to mention loads on the side by myself. 

And of course, I'm extremely eager to make it public, as it's been so long that I have posted anything new.  The next thing that will be posted here, after this, is the dungeon scene, which I re-wrote heavily the last couple of days and now stands at a little over eight thousand words.  (And I love it to death.) 

So, as I decided to do before I post any Hellsing fic - I will make a quick introductory summary, so anyone who has never heard of Hellsing will be able to read a fic without difficulty:

Hellsing: A secret organization in Britain that’s purpose is to defend God, queen, and country from vampires.  Its exact mission is “In the name of God, impure souls of the living dead shall be banished into eternal damnation.  Amen.”  The simpler motto is “Search and destroy.”  There is also an Order of Protestant Knights, among which the current leader of Hellsing always has a place.

Sir Integral Wingates Hellsing: Current leader of the Hellsing organization.  Her mother was Indian, but died when she was young, and her father (Arthur Hellsing) died when she was thirteen, and left everything to her.  Only a few days after his passing, his brother, Richard, attempted to kill Integra so the organization would fall to him.  As she tried to save herself, Integra – more by accident than intention – unleashed a very powerful vampire, Alucard, who had been locked in the dungeons underneath the Hellsing house.  He killed Richard’s henchmen, but it is implied that Integra shot Richard herself. 

Walter: Hellsing family retainer, but once a very valuable member of the organization.  Nicknamed the “Angel of Death,” his special weapon is monofilament wires, assumedly made out of adamantine, that he is able to throw around (like a lasso, but so much cooler) guns, bodies, or necks, to restrain or threaten or decapitate or whatever else he likes.

Alucard: Five-hundred-year old, extremely powerful vampire, who rather enjoys killing.  He is bound to the Hellsing family, and his powers are controlled by different levels of “control art restrictions.”  He can release some of them himself, but Integra is the ultimate authority, and only she can release the highest levels.

For more information on these characters, I highly recommend this page of profiles.  Each big picture is a link that leads to more information.

Finally – yes, this, and most of my Hellsing one-shots, is a crossover with Harry Potter.  It’s very slight in this one – but basically, Integra goes to Hogwarts (and was sorted into Slytherin).  This takes place during the winter holidays of her third year.
