Fandom: Sherlock BBC fusion with Vampire:  the Masquerade; some Bram Stoker’s Dracula; and my own vampire world.
Rating: R
Warnings: Some scenes of rape but not graphic, and it does not happen to John or Sherlock. Femlash, slash, vampires, vampires and hunters, poor humans don't know a thing. Mycroft still owns the government and some of the Mirrorworld.
Spoilers: None
Disclaimers:  Most of this is not mine. Conan Doyle, Mark Gatiss, Steven Moffat, Wizard of the Coast and Bram Stoker contributed a lot. I just put it in a shaker with my love and some of my own vampire creation and voila!

Summary: The Holmes family had being hunting the rogue vampire, Moriarty, for centuries. Little by little he had been taking the world into his web but now the
Vampire Council has sent "The Sword and The Healer" to resolve the situation. Meanwhile, London was rearranging itself to receive a new wild card, Sherlock Holmes.

Betas: My wonderful and fabulous friends mojoflower and  mildred_bobbin You are awesome and I love you both!
Author's Notes:  In this fic, vampires do not sparkle, do not sell their blood, and you certainly can't kill them with silver;  because silver works only to kill and hurt werewolves, as every old tradition says.  But in my AU both old vampires, and those newly sired by very old vampires, can walk in the sun.

They are ruled by a Prince in each city and a country or a continent by a council. (*more in the notes at the end)
 
Vampires have more powers than just the Glamour of the new vampiric stories; but these came at a price, resulting in certain quirks unique to each Clan bound by Blood.
 
From the Masquerade I will borrow 5 clans, but merge them into 3:  The Gangrels, the Malkavans-Bruja and the Ventrue-Tremere. (*see more notes at the end of the prologue).
 
The Mirrorworld is the name the vampire gives to their society, because they hide from human awareness in plain sight.
