LOOK AT THESE PARENTS!!!!!

So like, oh man, I just… I love Blythe and Maxim together???? They’re such trash vampires who know they’re hot shit and everyone should bow to them and I just can’t get enough???

Also like, these kids have been together for OVER A HUNDRED YEARS which is incredible tbh. I know Max has been around for about forty more years than Blythe, but like… idk… I feel like somehow there was an instant connection between the two of them that they’ll just never shake?

I know that Rhiannon is a lOT, so like, maybe that came from Maxim kind of, idk, protecting Blythe from her??? Like I can see Blythe being a brat of a baby vamp, much like Finn is now (Which is also kinda why she loves him so much!!!) and maybe getting on Rhiannon’s nerves a lot, and getting into massive amounts of trouble that Maxim’s charming smiles always got her back out of again???

Also! Esp since y’all know my man Ben Barnes is beautiful AF, I’m also pretty sure that somewhere early in their vamp lives, Blythe had a MAJOR CRUSH ON MAXIM. I don’t know when or even if she acted on it at all, but somehow I think it was sincerely unrequited and she kinda like… nurses that hurt a little even now??? Like, she loves Maxim a bunch, and he’s like family, but I feel like there’s maybe a bit of a distance, a bit of a wall that’s come up between them in the last few years bc of that.

I can also seeing that being a thing where maybe Blythe wasn’t in Fate for a good while! She like, maybe left off in some sort of weird huff that Maxim was a little ???? about, but then ten to twenty years later she shows back up on his doorstep, having kicked in his door like: “What the fuck up, you asshole, I’m back. Where’s the best party at???”

Ok, so first of all, they are 100% a team always and vamp!parents to the max!!!!  Maxim is a lil crusty about it esp bc he never got a choice in the matter, she just brought this kid home one day and was like ‘he almost died and he’s ours now’ and tbh Maxim never questioned that but he is a lil like whY when he’s annoyed hahaha but the truth is that, if their positions had been reversed, he would’ve saved Finn too and honestly he doesn’t regret her actions at all his default is just to push ppl away so that’s all that really is and she absolutely knows this about him by now I’m sure hahaha  And also honestly that impulse of kindness and mercy is one of the things he best likes and admires in Blythe <3333

Hahaha yeah he’s older and honestly I feel like his time one-on-one w Rhiannon was noT a great experience for him esp bc he was trying to cope w being a baby vamp himself at that time and Blythe was the first blush of sanity back in his world again!! and he was able to bond w her by helping her go through the things he just had!! and he’s honestly just so grateful for her!!  Maxim would absoluteLY stand between Blythe and Rhiannon, too!  He’s tough to befriend, but once you do, he’s 100% ride or die hahaha  Also, do you think he knew her at all before her death, btw, or do you think they only met after Rhiannon turned her?

In any case, Maxim was a lot softer, then, than he is, now...at least, on the exterior he’s still tender somewhere buried v, v, deep hahaha  I mean, his hardening had already started (the whole yknow being turned into a vamp really is what kicked that whole bit into overdrive hahaha which, given the age difference, I’m guessing was well before they met? since he was turned c.1872 and she wasn’t born until a couple years later), but the centuries have only made the whole thing worse in terms of how cold he can be at times.  But my point is, he would’ve been his kindest self towards her back then!!  Which...he’s always been sorta wry af etc hahaha but his own struggles both w transitioning into vampirism AND dealing w Rhiannon hahah were so fresh and esp if he’d known her at all, even in passing, while she was still human, I feel like his sympathy would’ve been through the roof!  And he 100% would’ve stepped in to help her bc he’s actually secretly a super caring person hahaha

Hahaha omg he 10000000% is I meannnn we caNNoT blame her for this hahaha and you know that unrequited love is 100% my wheelhouse I will always eat that shit up lakjsdfkljsdf <333333  So yes, I’m 100% down for this!!  Do you think she’s ever expressed to him the way she feels and/or do you think he knows/knew how she feels/felt?  In any case, if she ever did express her feelings to him, he def would’ve been gentle in his rebuff of course bc he cares lots about her, just not in that way!!  And if he knows in any way (whether she’s told him or not hahaha) he totally get why she has to distance herself a bit after that!!  Alternately, if he doesn’t know, obv his behavior hasn’t changed and he’s probs a lil unsure what’s happened, but he’s probs written it off as just ‘she sees that i’m a jackass and she’s moving on to better things bc she deserves that’ (he doesn’t really think much of himself sadly even if he ~acts arrogant a lot????? he’s weird idk what to tell you hahaha)

dklsjfklasdjafkljsdkjf I actually love her literally leaving for some time and then coming back!!  For one thing, I feel like it really dovetails well w/ his law career and friendship w Peter (even tho he sort of isolates himself a lot he doesn’t ~actually want to be alone despite what he might tell you hahaha) and he def wants to be putting some good into this world but you’ll never hear him saying anything so sentimental about his job lkajsdklfjdsklj  

maxim: this job is 100% absolutely about the money and nothing else at all

peter, probably: he’s lying...again

Also her busting down his door like nothing’s changed alksdjflkjdsf I LOVE HER and he’s just like *holding back tears* ‘i guess she missed me after all’  And he may roll his eyes (tho I think Blythe gets treated less to his assholery than his other friends bc he’s known her so long, etc hahaha) a lot but honestly he’s so!!!! happy!!!!! to have her back in his life undeath again esp after so long!!!

Also, Peter might sometimes ~seem like a jerk by accident but Maxim actually ~is an asshole a lot bc he’s actively trying to hide that he’s nice and klasdjfkldjsf what a hot mess duo I love them both so much <333333  And honestly I feel like Peter humanizes him a lot and is probs the one that convinces him to be nice on the rare occasions he actually is hahaha  But, that being said, Maxim also does a lot of smoothing over for Peter, too, on the dl hahaha

MAXIMILIAN “maxim” WYATT (36/182) Ben Barnes - TAKEN BY KATE AA Status: Vampire Occupation: Lawyer Relationship(s): Xavier Wyatt (brother), Rhiannon Sparks (maker), Blythe Moreau (blood sister), Peter Fletcher (partner/best friend), Zinnia Grey, Jason Marlowe (best friends), Finn Abbott (protégé), Caitlin Thatcher (paralegal), Sage Black, Jasmine Black, Juniper Black, Hazel Black (clients/friends)

around town, some joke that maxim is probably a vampire bc he only seems to turn up at night

thing is…they’re right: he ~is a vampire, but that’s not the only reason he enjoys being out and about at night

he’s just always busy, which is intentional

maxim has learned, over the years, that keeping busy helps w the bloodlust, which is an absolute must when you live in a small town

always looking sharp in a long black coat tbh

often comes off a lot harsher than he means to!! can be a lil persnickety!!

honestly pr ocd but you didn’t hear that from me!!

honestly his asshole behavior is mostly just a cover up for how deeply emotionally invested he secretly is in everything

loves to throw ppl off the scent by being an ass smdh

until her recent death, maxim worked for the BLACK sisters’ aunt, but they’ve inherited his services along w her property

always popping in to make sure that things are running smoothly bc they also inherited $$$$$$$ and he likes to ~check in on that…heh get it ;D

*bitch better have my money* plays softly in the bg

no but actually secretly nice but hates ppl to knoW so he all puts on this front that it’s all money and business

forever rolling his eyes at PETER but secretly they’re bffs

honestly he’s peter’s self-appointed guardian and spends whatever spare time he can trying to keep him in one piece

in addition to that, he’s doing his utmost to help BLYTHE, his blood sister, w transitioning her progeny, FINN ABBOTT, into vampirism

between the two of them…well, frankly, it still feels hopeless lbr ;D
