There is - or rather, was - a show that I've never watched about vampires (rather Vampyric vampires, in fact) called Forever Knight. The big villain in that, or at least the one who appears in all the Buffy crossovers, was called Lucien LaCroix, just so you know where she got the name from.

He also decides that since Will helped him deal with a curse before, why not help him out with this one too?

From what I recall, that does seem like Jack Sparrow's kind of logic. 'Being as how you're the big expert when it comes to curses and such...'

That prophecy, though? I've read a lot of very bad Buffy fanfiction, and I haven't seen anything that bad since the days of the big Highlander crossovers.

Nice Babelfish French...

That made SO LITTLE sense. You are very brave to be able to read one of these each day.

Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the La Croix

Translated, that means The Curse of the the Heart. That alone pretty much marks it as a Stay-Away-From-This-And-Your-Brain-Will-Thank-You sort of story.

Vampires. Sweet Valar, what will they think of next?

It is; heart is coeur. Nevertheless, yes, this is "the the cross," and owwie.

Re: *cringes*

*shrugs* according to the "author" it means heart. Foolishly, I accepted it.

Except that there's many different mythos. In some, it's the simple symbol of the cross; in others, yes, it's the bearer's faith, and in yet others the cross has no effect. In some garlic works, in others it doesn't; Dracula, for instance, was repelled by garlic flowers. Similarly, Dracula needed both a stab woulnd through the heart and decapitation; sunlight weakened him, but did not kill him, while at the end he was killed with a bowie knife, not a stake, to the heart.

In Blade, which can be considered its own mythos, crosses with or without faith are ineffective, but vampires have a violent allergic reaction to silver.

And in I Am Legend, possibly the best vampire story ever written, it's the vampire's own belief that causes crosses to repel it.

Well, this Sue isn't named after her[of she after it... or... -brain hurts-], but she's inserted herself in a Labyrinth fic. x_X; Ow.
