Countess Tepes

Summary:

Zara Vasile, born in a small village in Alba, Romania in 1968, develops her mutant abilities during church. Scaring her family and resulting in being abandoned in the snow-covered woods only for Vlad Tepes Dracula to decide to adopt her as his and his two wives child instead of eating her. Growing up in a regal household and slowly becoming a representative of mutants in Romania during the harrowing 1990s when mutant discrimination was boiling into something bigger. Reuniting with two former childhood friends again in her adulthood who may vie for her affections.

I am basing Dracula both off the Marvel and Castlevania versions of him, mainly Castlevania for his appearance because who wouldn't want to be cradled by him, dude definitely cuddles and comforts. I've really been wanting a Pietro Maximoff fic for a long time, particularly one based off his Wolverine and the X-Men or the comic versions of him rather than the live action ones. Nothing wrong with them but they're not my cup of tea. I do not know Romanian or German so I will not be using any of those words to avoid misusing them. Anyway, please do enjoy this and if I make any spelling mistakes, do please let me know.
