I GOT THIS LIKE THREE DAYS AGO AND THEN SAT THERE FOR LIKE THIRTY MINUTES JUST REREADING IT OVER AND OVER AGAIN AND THEN I SENT IT TO MY GIRLFRIEND AND SCREAMED FOR A WHILE AND THEN I STARTED WRITING MORE JACOB STUFF AND THEN WENT BACK TO THIS AND CRIED A LIL GOD WHO ARE YOU PLEASE PLEASE TELL ME WHO YOU AREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE 

....also watch out for a new Jacob piece soon - Dear lovely anon, you could request literally anything of me and I would most definitely write it for you, feel free to tell me more you’d like to see anytime and ask any questions you have anon I think you may have just become my god.

so to actually answer your questions:

Maeves absolute faaaaaavourite thing to do to Maeve is just to have him curled up at his feet while Maeve can do absolutely anything and look down at any moment to see Jacob’s entire attention on him-

But his favourite depraved thing to do is pull the poor thing’s collar tight and watch him look up in terror and confusion at Maeve, watch his face go red and listen to the cute little hitching breaths and gasps of pain as the boy struggles to breathe.

Yeah that’d definitely be his favourite.

...Close second though, is dressing Jacob up all pretty and hosting parties, watching Jacob get more and more uncomfortable with every person that gets closer while the boy still tries to be on his best behaviour, and forcing him to carry drinks around just so that the poor thing has to talk to everyone while Maeve sits with a half empty champagne flute held aloft in his left hard while he laughs.

Sooo next, his name!! When I first named the three characters in this universe, I had Jacob first, and then Caleb second. I remember I was actually messaging my partner about it, trying to figure out names and stuff and I asked whats a good bad guy name that sounds like scary but like is cool and is kinda funky and then she gave me the name like Butthole or something and I was like cool we’re going with Maeve.

Buuuut, in the actual story Maeve Taylor is a chosen name. His actual name is [Redacted], but he changed it after becoming estranged from his mother and father and didn’t want to keep the name they gave him. The name is like purposefully androgynous on his part, but he is most definitely a he. (hehe every time I think of his names I can’t help but think of that quote that’s like “can’t trust a man with two first names”) So yeah that’s how this particular bastard got his name!

A flinch, quickly covered by a roll of the eyes and a wave of his hand. "No," he replies, an air of forced carelessness straightening his spine and curling his fingers.

He doesn't tell them about the fear of water, the fear of the cold that swallows him as the waves thud over but it's just rain Luke you're fine listen to me lookatmebreathelukebreatheluke
