In the Justice Lords' [[MirrorWorld universe]], [[spoiler: the roles of Dracula and Alucard are swapped. Dracula was ultimately still able to heed his wife's last wishes even despite his heartbreak (he still killed the members of the CorruptChurch responsible for Lisa's death, but they were AssholeVictims in the canon universe as well), but Alucard was consumed by grief and, unable to forgive humanity for killing his mother, lashed out and unleashed Hell's armies. As such, Dracula worked alongside his universe's version of Trevor and Sypha to protect humanity and was ultimately made to kill his son]].

''[[https://www.fanfiction.net/s/12849210/1/Lord-of-the-Castle Lord of the Castle]]'' is a {{crossover}} FanFic between ''WesternAnimation/{{Castlevania}}'' and ''WesternAnimation/JusticeLeague'' by [[https://www.fanfiction.net/u/2428702/Readmeplz Readmeplz]], while also incorporating aspects of their [[Creator/DCComics bigger]] [[Franchise/{{Castlevania}} franchises]].
[[spoiler: After slaying Dracula at the end of Season 2]], Alucard ends up becoming the new lord of Dracula's castle. Seeing that it's still a pool of evil magic, he decides to sink it into the ocean, where it will not be able to harm anyone. Several centuries pass, and [[Recap/JusticeLeagueS1E6And7TheEnemyBelow when Aquaman and his son end up on his doorstep]], Alucard finds himself waking up once again, and his aid to the King of Atlantis has him encountering the Justice League and becoming a part of their ranks.
!!''Lord of the Castle'' provides examples of:
* AdaptationalBadass: [[spoiler: Dracula's castle is this, as it bears more of its EldritchLocation aspects, constantly leaking out evil that can only be countered by the presence of salt in the ocean or else cause death to anything living nearby, and capable of changing its interior on a whim and teleporting to other planets. The castle itself is also sentient, and capable of separating minds and bodies, and has its own urges, such as revenge when its master gets threatened.]]
* AdaptationalNiceGuy: [[spoiler: Death proves this. In canon, Death was a gluttonous mass murderer who fed on death, and wanted to bring back Dracula in a botched resurrection that would cause him to go insane and spread death on a scale unimagined. He's also much less polite, swearing like a sailor, and disrespecting anyone like gum on his shoe.]] By contrast, Death takes more after his game counterpart, and is a [[UndyingLoyalty loyal]] ally to Dracula, genuinely wishing to bring him back to life and serve him. He's also far more polite and soft-spoken, and also has fond memories of raising Alucard as a child.
* AllLovingHero: Flash proves this, as while other members of the Justice League are wary of Alucard, he proves friendly and accommodating to the dhampyr, and in time, Alucard comes to see him as a genuine friend.
* AndIMustScream: [[spoiler: [[NightmareWeaver Dr. Destiny's]] punishment at the end of the "Only A Dream" arc is worsened beyond being trapped in a coma, and very fitting for this trope. Alucard and the Librarian bind a Nightmare, a [[EmotionEater being that feeds on positive emotions]] to trap the victim in horrible nightmares, to him, and then carves a spell that allows him to draw on the positive experiences of others, thus trapping him in an everlasting nightmare, with the villain being reduced to begging and apologizing.]]
* {{Bloodlust}}: Alucard succumbs to this after feeding on the blood of demons in a desperate attempt to save his allies, but this is explained as a side effect of what amounted to self-imposed starvation and could return should Alucard continue to starve himself because of his refusal to drink human blood. The Justice League then offers a [[LoopholeAbuse loophole]] to avert this by having Superman, Hawkgirl, J'onn, or Wonder Woman offer their blood, since they aren't human.
* DeathByAdaptation: [[spoiler: When Alucard learns of the Styrian Council attempting to manipulate Batman into a PuppetKing of Gotham, he goes in a murder spree, and Morana and Striga, both of whom were alive at the end of 'WesternAnimation/{{Castlevania}}'', die at Alucard's hands]].
* DiesDifferentlyInTheAdaptation: [[spoiler: In canon, Lenore commits SuicideBySunlight when she sees how far Carmilla has fallen, but in this fic, she dies via [[OffWithHerHead beheading]] at the hands of Alucard after she bites Batman, and then has her body reduced to ash]].
* FishOutOfTemporalWater: Alucard does suffer from this trope, but not to a serious extent. He is trained in rudimentary medicine thanks to his parents advancements, though simpler things like the culture and technology do elude him. [[spoiler: Similarly, the spirit of Dracula from the Justice Lord universe has the same issues adapting to modern technology and terminology]].
* HumanityEnsues: Downplayed but simultaneously [[DeconstructedTrope deconstructed]] and PlayedForDrama. Alucard is already [[HalfHumanHybrid half-human]] due to being a {{Dhampyr}} with his father being [[Characters/CastlevaniaDracula Dracula]], but an encounter with [[GreatGazoo Mr. Mxyzptlk]] ends up turning him completely human. In doing so, Alucard loses his regenerative powers (which served as his immune system) and ability to sustain on blood (essentially leaving him starved), which leads to his organs failing and needing urgent medical attention; thankfully, he is saved when Superman is able to trick Mr. Mzyxptlk into banishing himself, undoing all the damage done to the world and turning Alucard back into a dhampyr. Simultaneously, though, [[spoiler: him being human left [[EldritchLocation Castlevania]] without a lord, leading to [[TheBaroness Carmilla]], [[OurWerewolvesAreDifferent Cornell]], [[SuccubiAndIncubi Magnus]], and [[SinisterMinister Shaft]] escaping from Hell, and with the aid of [[TheDragon Death]] (who takes after his game portrayal of Dracula's [[UndyingLoyalty loyal]] servant instead of the animation's portrayal of him as the GreaterScopeVillain), intend to kill Alucard and bring Dracula back to life]].
* LaserGuidedKarma: [[spoiler: Dr. Destiny, a NightmareWeaver who sought to kill the Justice League by torturing them in their dreams, is ultimately trapped in a nightmare as a result of Alucard and the Librarian.]]
* LanguageOfMagic: Alucard, when casting spells, speaks in Romanian, though more iconic spells like Tetra Spirit, Hellfire, Dark Metamorphosis, and Soul Steal are spoken in English.
* MagicKnight: Alucard as in canon, being skilled in both swordplay and various magics, including inheriting his father's iconic Hellfire spell, and becomes the Justice League's main magic user.
* MythologyGag:
** A couple for ''VideoGame/CastlevaniaSymphonyOfTheNight'':
*** When Etrigan sees Alucard, he declares "DIE MONSTER!", much like Richter did to Dracula in the beginning of the game.
*** [[spoiler: Dr. Destiny using Alucard's memory of his mother's burning and his fate of being trapped in a nightmare is similar to the Succubus]].
** Alongside the Philosopher's Stone, Alucard and Etrigan discuss the possibility that Morgan Le Fay may be after the [[VideoGame/CastlevaniaLamentOfInnocence Ebony and Crimson Stones]].
* PatchworkFic: While the series is primarily about Alucard being a member of the Justice League, aspects of the two [[Creator/DCComics bigger]] [[Franchise/{{Castlevania}} franchises]] are present throughout the fic.
** Characters who weren't a part of ''WesternAnimation/JusticeLeague'', such as John Constantine and Mister Terrific, appear as allies in the series
** During the events of "[[Recap/JusticeLeagueS1E24To26TheSavageTime The Savage Time]]", Alucard has his own adventure working alongside [[VideoGame/CastlevaniaPortraitOfRuin Johnathan Morris and Charlotte Aulin to stop Brauner]].
** [[spoiler: Kilowog also mentions working [[WesternAnimation/GreenLanternTheAnimatedSeries alongside Hal Jordan and Razor]] when preparing to leave for [[Recap/JusticeLeagueS2E9And10HeartsAndMinds Kalanor to help John Stewart]]]].
* PointOfDivergence: Because Seasons 3 and 4 did not air at the beginning of this fic, some aspects of the series are very different.
** Alucard does not suffer [[spoiler: Sumi and Taka's betrayal, and is more open to his new allies]].
** [[spoiler: Carmilla and the Styrian Council are still united and alive, and have their own plans]].
* SparedByTheAdaptation: [[spoiler: Carmilla, Lenore, and Death are all dead by the end of the final season of ''WesternAnimation/{{Castlevania}}'', but since Seasons 3 and 4 did not air prior to the start of this fanfic, all three are antagonists still at large. That being said, Lenore does eventually die later, but it's several centuries after her canonical death in the series.]]

As such, Dracula worked alongside his universe's version of Trevor and Sypha to protect humanity and was ultimately made to kill his son]].
* UndyingLoyalty: As in the games, Death is loyal first and foremost to Dracula, and while he serves Alucard faithfully, his true loyalties lie with his father, and plans alongside Carmilla, Cornell, Shaft, and Magnus to bring back Dracula.
* WhatDoTheyFearEpisode: The fic adapts "[[Recap/JusticeLeagueS2E5And6OnlyADream Only A Dream]]", and Alucard, Wonder Woman, and Jonn's worst nightmares are exposed.
** For Alucard, it's [[spoiler: watching his mother [[BurnTheWitch burn at the stake again]] and when he tries to explain that the real Lisa would never want him to take revenge on humanity, she starts [[AbusiveParents beating and abusing him]] as the rest of the Justice League turns on him]].
** For Wonder Woman, it's [[spoiler: Themyscira being set on fire while her mother is made into an unwilling servant of Hades, who has also killed the entire Justice League because Wonder Woman, desperate to save her mother, sold out their weaknesses to him, and he plans on killing and reviving the Justice League over and over again]].
** For J'onn, it's [[spoiler: the Imperium threatening and killing his family and the Justice League, lambasting him for poisoning them and making it clear they will raze Earth as well]].
