there's the potential for a dark AU where hurt and comfort have become so intrinsically linked in his mind that if a succession war between Medraut and Lleu took place where Lleu would come out as the winner and had him imprisoned, he would antagonize Medraut until he lashed out at him. Lleu would force Medraut to hurt him, because he's gotten addicted to the way his brother gave him pain and the bittersweet reconcilation that followed afterwards when the feelings of guilt arise. If Medraut can only love Lleu when he is hurt and hurts [hates] Lleu when he is loved, then the obvious solution is that Lleu has to be hurt all the time thus can he be loved eternally.

#this can easily lead to Lleu self-harming or making himself purposefully sick and ordering Medraut to take care of him #the winter prince #medlleu #traditionally the winner of such conflicts in bl is usually the one doing the hurting and the dominating #right now I'm interested in a subversion of such tropes #Medraut being forced to inflict violence onto Lleu would torture him more than being on the receiving end of violence #I think Lleu should have more trauma from having his sadistic jealous brother designated as his caretaker #Lleu feels like he hasn't gotten enough kisses this week and he drains a bottle of poison as revenge #leaving Medraut to deal with the aftermath #Lleu hates not being in control of his own mind but after the death of his family this could change #he might want to go back to the time when he was being drugged and drifting into a dreamless sleep #the certainity that when he awoke in pain and tears Medraut would be there to make him feel better
