Be Careful What You Wish For oooh fun!

1: What inspired you to write the fic this way?

Creepy ass Liam in TRH. I’m sorry, I don’t understand why the hell he thought “hey let me ask the girl I lost to let me name her child my heir” it just doesn’t make sense to me unless he just is so desperate to have some piece of her that he decides her child will have to do. Early on I actually thought for sure with a romanced Hana that he would basically demand to be the donor. I even asked @sirbeepsalot. I fought this story as long as I could and then it won. I knew he needed to be worse than the book, he needed to have ulterior motives and clear reasons he was the best choice and why he’d fight for her. So the crazy train started, his thoughts and how he needed her not just the child. I ended up doing a flashback of her saying no and that was another thing I always found weird that he just gives this girl with zero qualifications that broke his heart land and a title. So he now has ulterior motives. Mostly I just took some canon items and made them creepier than they were, turned up the underhandedness made him not so likable.

2: What scene did you first put down?

The beginning actually. I wrote this mostly in order. There may have been a flashback here or there written out of order, much of the ending was written around chapter 6, but most was written in order.

4: What’s your favorite line of dialogue?

Toss up between

“When my queen is a bitch? Absolutely.”

And

“I want you to know what I felt.” He clicked off the fetal heart rate monitor. “I want you to feel desperate and alone.” He smiled as he stepped back. “I want you to know what it’s like to know you’ve lost everything you love and there isn’t a damn thing you can do to stop it.”

My characters kinda took over and the real evil character turned out to be Rebecca which surprised me, I love both of these because these are the men she loved and hurt telling her how little she means to them. They both realized they didn’t matter to her and they both were able to let go of their love for her.

5: What part was hardest to write?

The part in chapter 4, The Other Side where Drake is in his car inebriated and about to drive, tomorrow will be 8 years since we lost my FIL to a drunk driver so it was hard to write Drake about to do that. I couldn’t actually write him driving drunk so I more heavily implied and it was still really hard to get out. I knew there would be questions if he actually drove drunk and couldn’t he just be sleeping it off in his car in Valtoria and I didn’t want that, I wanted the fear that he’d driven off the road so I put a note at the end that he absolutely did drive drunk.

11: What do you like best about this fic?

That I actually made people root for evil Liam. I had people thirsty over him and I’ve actually been asked to write an alternate ending (so not happening). But I do have more Evil Liam coming.
