Oooh, I love these, how about Agelast - A person who never laughs?
(takes place in the Fillis Angst AU with @whump-tr0pes. Although none of Athena's OCs are present - Ellis and Finn are discussed and Ellis gets a line)
CW: references to vampirism, dubcon, and noncon... And some child stealing?
"They don't laugh, much, do they?" Corrinne's eyes locked on the retreating back of the dark-haired mother of Corrine's newborn daughter Iris. Ellis was flanked by two guards as they were led back to their room.
Corrinne held the child in her own arms, Iris quietly content and full from her last meal.
Corrinne was content and full, too. The basement cells were fully emptied once more.
"Finn doesn't, either," Patrick said, swirling a bit of whiskey in a glass, an eternal smile crooked slightly on dark lips. "Not unless I take them far away from their own mind. It takes some effort. They'll come around."
"You like this one more than the last," Corrinne noted, pressing a fingertip to her daughter's lovely button nose. Iris cooed in return. "Yes, that's a love... Mommy loves you so much. That's my beautiful little girl."
"My beautiful girl, you fuck!" Ellis's voice came muffled from the next room as the guards wrestled them up the stairs.
Corrinne laughed at the furious anger in the mother's voice. Patrick chuckled, too, bringing his whiskey to his lips.
Then, eyes sparkling with irrepressible good humor, he snapped his fingers.
A guard appeared instantly at the door. "Yes, Mr. Michaelson?"
"Bring me Finn. Now."
The guard was gone a moment later.
"I swear, you can't stand a moment apart from your plaything these days," Corrinne mused.
"You have our daughter on your lap, love," Patrick said cheerfully. "I want my plaything on mine."
