in my head, the reader from the alhaitham!vampire au/fic is equally as fascinated by the fact that he's a vampire as he is they're human. Like they are aware that it is a dangerous situation but not for them, other people sure but they're safe. They don't have to worry about taxes anymore and they can still do the things they like and enjoy, it's not like they can't see their friends anymore, they can but they were never the most social person anyways so it's not something that happens regularly anyways.

in my head I have a conversation between them and another person going like: "he killed a man" / "he did and he takes full responsibility for it and apologizes sincerely" (he will do none of these things)

but I wanted to run this by you and see what your thoughts on this were, love your stuff by the way

Hmmmm in any fic, I always try to keep the darling's personality as ambiguous as possible so they can be interpreted however the reader pleases. Some key characteristics do tend to shine through, besides, Vampire Alhaitham and darling have quite a dynamic soo :>

In Vampire! Alhaitham's case, I tried to imply reader to be 'everything he wasn't hoping they were'. Vampire Alhaitham may be down bad for darling to the point he strays from his usual principles, but in terms of intellect, he's far more advanced and dangerous than our Feeble Scholar — so, I wanted this big bad vampire to be at his wit's end.

I have the same curious!reader vision as you!! Their innocence and purity is what made Alhaitham so intrigued and, kept him from killing them in the first place. As for the curiosity to shine (and birth some adorable moments), the dependency to take effect or the matter of awareness, depends on whether we're talking about pre-kidnapping or post-kidnapping.

Pre-kidnapping reader is blissfully unaware of the rollercoaster that's about to hit them — sure, they have some suspicions about the recent happenings in their lives and the nagging feeling that they're constantly being watched, even in sleep. But there's no concrete evidence to prove anything. All the while, Alhaitham goes through the five stages of grief regarding his feelings for the person he was sent to murder 😕

After-kidnapping though? There is nothing called 'the outside world' beyond Alhaitham's ridiculously secured house for you, my dear. Your previous life and the sunlight you want on your skin? You don't them anymore. ... To Alhaitham's credit although, he's just trying to keep you safe from the filthy claws of the Vampire Lords :( You understand it's for your best, don't you?

Darling's persona will contribute to them submitting without much of a fight, honestly. As you said : no taxes, no annoying people but a super handsome vampire that looks after them and asks (almost) nothing in return? They have no one else left anyway and deep down, they just want to be loved. Besides, would you really think about escaping at all from him, after witnessing what Vampire Alhaitham is capable of doing with his bare hands? I trust you're smart enough to keep that possibility, forever just a possibility.

I can see that conversation happening after Alhaitham's plan has succeeded fully, him killing someone will be as normal as breathing to reader at that point and that childlike whimsy?? Oh, just when Alhaitham thought he couldn't love you any harder.

Honestly though, I'm just happy seeing you ponder over this, go as crazy with your hcs as you want <33
