To celebrate Father's Day and the 10-year anniversary of Vampire Academy,
this collection of one-shots is a tribute to VA fathers and father figures.
There is a lot of variety in this collection - some stories are short and sweet, others are longer, some offer an insight into the more troubled aspects of fatherhood, while others are lighthearted and fun.
Each chapter is written by a different author so please remember to leave a REVIEW at the end of each short-story.
If you like a story, feel free to check out the author's other works (links provided on our profile page).
There are three more collaborations coming up throughout the year, so click favourite/follow to receive the alerts.
A big thank you to all of the authors who have contributed to this project.
We also thank Richelle Mead for creating the VA world/characters we have borrowed in our stories.
As always, all rights belong to her.
Happy Father's Day and Happy Reading!
1. A Father's Reflection (by NB313)
What does it mean to be a father? This is the first of a four part series. Each one-shot will showcase one of our favorite male characters from VA as they spend some time reflecting on what it means to be a father. Set at various moments in time, starting from Last Sacrifice and going beyond. Posting Part I for the compilation – the rest will be posted over the course of the next 3 months on NB313 – with the final 'part' posted on Father's Day (Aus calendar – 3rd Sept).
2. Our Little Miracle (by Swimming the Same Deep Waters)
Set directly after Last Sacrifice, Rose and Dimitri get some rather unexpected news.
3. Dreams -A Father's Day Short (by PrincessKooki)
Takes place years after LS and Bloodlines, Dimitri and Rose are happily married. Even so, Dimitri still deals with the ramifications of his past. Though he did forgive himself, he can never forget the things he has done.
4. The Greater Good (by Overworkedandunderpaid)
Victor Dashkov leads his daughter to her ultimately pointless self-sacrifice.
5. Language Lessons (by Gigi256)
Abe teaches Rose about her Turkish heritage with some language lessons.
6. She's Like My Own (by PrincessAnastasiaBelikov)
Takes place pre-Vampire Academy and all the way into the first part of the book. Part keeping with the books, part OC. DISCLAIMER: Part of Chapter 3 from Vampire Academy, is used. All credit for that portion, goes to Richelle Mead.
7. In My Life (by TheCoffeeShopMuse)
Weddings can be quite the emotional experience, especially for dear old fathers. However, they can take heart in the fact that it is a universally known fact, that every father has the right to steal his precious girl away from the groom for just one dance. Feat. The Beatles.
8. Choices Made (by PNR-guilty-pleasure)
Set after L.S. Thoughts of both fathers on this holiday, and how they have missed so many of them.
9. The Gift (by Rea Lynne)
Rose had announced her pregnancy on Mother's Day. This will be a follow up to that story. What gifts could Father's Day bring after such a wonderful Mother's Day gift?
