tonight you belong to me | yandere!teddy lobo

ship/pairing: Yandere!Teddy Lobo x g/n!reader

fandom: Renfield (2023)

request: anon: I know requests are probably piling up (me to bro me to), but if you feel like writing a Yan! Teddy Lobo x reader fic where the reader is falling under stalkholm syndrome and is finally showing him affection after only anger and coldness? I have a craving for some odd type fluff if that makes sense. :3 (If you don't want to write this, you don't have to :3)

warnings: yandere behaviour, stockholm syndrome, pet names (reader gets called baby), crying, it's implied that reader has been kidnapped

word count: 541

A/N: similar storyline to another fanfic i wrote but ignore that. i do not in any way support yandere behaviour, please know that this writing is purely fictional, and should not ever be reenacted in real life

The blinding blue light from your phone burned your eyes, bringing upon another wave of tears to fall upon your already wet cheeks. Blinking away the tears, your eyes squinted to read the time displayed on your phone; 2:17 am. It wasn't unlike Teddy to be out so late, as he counted on you being asleep by now, and there was a wide range of things he could keep himself busy with. Still, that didn't stop you from missing him. Any other night you would've savoured the time away from him. But not tonight. You couldn't will yourself to sleep in a bed that felt so cold and empty.

You busied yourself with your phone, mindlessly scrolling in hopes to numb the aching feeling you felt from missing Teddy. You didn't want to miss him. You shouldn't be missing him. Not after the hell he had put you through. 

You flinched as the bedroom door flew open, light from the hall seeping into the room and creating a silhouette of your captor. Tears of relief threatened to fall from your eyes but you fought against them. Expecting you to be asleep by now, he was surprised upon seeing your face illuminated by the light from your phone, your tired eyes staring back at him.

"You're awake?" he shut the door behind him, watching as you nodded your head. He peeled his jacket from his body, lazily letting it fall to the ground as he walked toward you, "Why didn't you sleep?"

"I missed you," you mumbled before you could stop yourself.

He paused, not sure if he heard you correctly, "What?" 

You placed your phone on the bedside table, leaving you in darkness to lower the chance of Teddy seeing the tear stains on your cheeks "I said I missed you." The words left your mouth quietly, as if Teddy being unable to hear them would make them false. You winced as Teddy turned the lamp on, sitting beside you on the bed.

His eyes narrowed at you, "Fuck, have you been crying?" 

A sigh left your lips and you felt more tears threatening to fall, "Yeah."

He smiled at the sight of you, and you chose to ignore the glint in his eyes that suggested he was enjoying this, "Aw, baby."

You didn't fight when his arms wrapped around you, pulling your body close to him. You let your tears fall as you buried your head in his chest. You listened to his whispered words of love and took them to heart, believing him when he said you were safe with him, that he loved you, and would do anything for you.

Teddy's heart swelled at the sight of the teary eyed, snivelling mess of yourself curled up against him. His hands tangled themselves in your hair, relishing your affection after months of your constant aggression and resentment toward him. "It's ok baby," you heard his voice in your ear, sounding the softest it had ever sounded, "My pretty baby, I'm here, I'll always be here. I'm not going anywhere." You knew he meant it. Teddy had slowly but surely made himself an integral part of your life, and he wasn't going to undo his hard work anytime soon.

You should draw Renfield

anon, you are in luck!!! there were already some tedfield thoughts whirling around my brain and this was the perfect opportunity to make them reality ❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥

a sweet and unexpected kiss; and something more rough and raw, super inspired by my dracula-endorsed tedfield idea post hehe

hope you enjoy <3

What is your main couple that you ship in Renfield 2023? Mine as I’ve practically stated to those on here is Dracfield all the way!

I'm absolutely team tedfield! I think they're very interesting, not too different of characters when you think about it. And even in a platonic sense, I think they'd be interesting pals to be sure. Makes me wish that Bellafrancesca and Dracula team up had worked out before Renfield's team confidence and we got more interactions with the two.

I'm also a a dracfield fan, teddy or renfield with Rebecca (although I also really like sapphic Rebecca). :3

Thank you so much for the ask!

Renfield Details

So I went through the movie and got screenshots of some little details I liked regarding the Lobo family/their place!

Teddy's car and car keys!

They're not a subtle family, their logo is even front and center on their building.

The coolest taxidermy wolf ever.

Very blurry arcade games I can't decipher but the closest one has a lion, a gorilla, and an elephant on it. They also have a pinball machine, but it's even blurrier.

A very nice fireplace in use during the fight!

Pretty ceiling.

I like the doors a lot too and the shiny gold fabric they've got near it.

Castle couches?

The torture room looks to have been a church? It has stained glass, and what looks like a shrine at one point that I couldn't get a good shot of, it had a lot of bottles surrounding it.

An absolutely massive guillotine with some Latin on it? I think it says "Ultima Ratio --P-" as best I can tell from zooming in. Also a pulpit and a long rack of gloves.

[nwodwols]

Took a picture of the screen because Teddy’s cuteness was attacking me personally and then proceeded to zoom in and screenshot it and then screenshot the screenshot screen because his pixels are a work of art

[coiled-dragon]

Renfield is the one that kisses your forehead and tucks you in, Teddy is the one with the knuckle tats that say SEEP TITE. They're putting Dracula to bed

DSFGAFDGDF PLEASE THIS IS THE PERFECT HEADCANON...

Having come across a text post you wrote: I challenge you to describe Renfield, Teddy, and/or Dracula without using the word silly.

truly evil. no joke if you ask my friends my most two used words to describe a character it would be silly and babygirl. i fucking love calling characters babygirl it is top tier entertainment to me

okay let’s go so renfield: he’s just a fun lil guy. if i’m being serious he’s a very complex character that i do absolutely adore and could easily talk about for hours because aaaa he’s so well written

hes an easily relatable character especially with how awkward and dorky he can be (like that’s me fr) and i seriously appreciate that <3

overall he is just my lil guy. my beloved. my lil meow meow. lil dude who likes bugs.

teddy - !!!! i love teddy a lot!!! maybe it’s because i do have a big sonic hyperfixation so finding out ben schwartz plays him along with sonic was so aaaa for me

but character wise he’s AMAZING. he’s just super adorable and soft and a bit of an idiot and that makes him absolutely perfect.

he definitely has an intense dynamic with his family which i fucking love to analyse and wish we saw more of but aaaa he’s so aaaaaa i love him guys

he’s just a lil criminal who doesn’t exactly know what he’s doing but it’s okay since he’s cute <3

alright time for dracula - i’ll be honest, i don’t have loads to say for him but he is a very very fun character

if we are specifically talking about him in renfield i fucking adore his personality (though i still love him in the 1931 version - you can tell he’s still similar but with more humour now)

like the ending scene where he goes hail satan? 10/10 comedy moment he’s so funny

he’s a very complex character too - it’s interesting to see how he is with renfield honestly, like he’s a mix of nice but can also be mean? like where he’s showing renfield his master plan you can see he does care by adding renfield onto it even just with a sticky note (but then not even letting my boy have a vacation? what a mean boss /j)

i do adore the count honestly - he’s ah interesting character!! funky lil guy

ANYWAYS there it is!! i will admit i did write silly in this a lot,,,before i reread and remembered and was like dammit :(

very confident in myself that i wouldn’t do it but well,,,i did lol!! very fun to do tho - it’s nice havinf moments of actually talking and looking a bit more into a character rather than me constantly just going ‘ha silly’

so tysm for the ask!!! very fun task anon

Could you do a 🐺 (Teddy) and🩸(Dracula) headcannon?

🐺🩸for a headcanon about Teddy Lobo and Dracula

--

Dracula absolutely hates the fact that he finds Teddy Lobo strangely endearing.

The human is maddening. He's loud, he's obnoxious, and worst is that he's a complete coward. This young man has obviously been spoiled and babied his entire life and it shows. It irritates Dracula to no end!

And yet...

For as much as the human annoys him to hell and back, Dracula can't hate him. Teddy has this almost gleeful lust for evil that Renfield never had. Dracula admires it. It helps Dracula put up with a great deal of Teddy's flaws.

Like the incessant whining and gagging sounds when Dracula offered Teddy one of the many captured bugs that Renfield kept hidden around the lair. Teddy had shuddered and stuck his tongue out in disgust. It was childish and irritating. It made Dracula actually want to roll his eyes.

Still, the new familiar did as he was told and ate the insect, reveling in the power it gave him.

As for Teddy's view on the whole situation, he was practically bouncing off the walls in excitement. Despite the fear pounding in his chest, he couldn't keep the excitement off his face at the opportunity to work with Dracula.

[daculadaculadacula]

damn we really got shafted by funnay long ass fight scenes and dead dad cop b (c?) plot............... i havent looked at the producers and what theyre all about etc but seeing the queer angles get shafted (like its all at once not heavy-handed enough but the next step would have been on-screen making out sloppy style like. tenderness? or something) due to whatever the fuck else that all was...... man

i appreciate that this is a new and fun interpretation and i do love receiving little lgbtq+ pellets but idk. some ingredients in this soup arent doin it for me

[zoophagist]

My main take on "Renfield" is that for a movie that was supposed to focus on trauma/abuse, they sure defanged their characters a whole lot. So your Renfield doesn't have any explicit psychiatric trauma and goes to serve Dracula just because his wife and kid have gotten annoying. Willingly. You have a Dracula whose attacks are never sexual and who actually kinda-sorta gives a damn about someone. And the familiar magic doesn't even have any side-effects worth writing home about. Also Teddy Lobo is a bae and he deserves more than this antisemitic narrative all the goys have eaten up because "he's so pathetic uwu"

^^^ real. i said it the second i came back from the premiere but teddy lobo was the only bitch in this movie with true renfield energy. tedward deserves respect and also many fanfics.

yeah, on the whole though.... i think they were much too worried about appealing to a mainstream action audience and didn't let the project do the fun, weird, dark things it could have been capable of. i get what they wanted to say with the "you chose this willingly and you need to take back your agency willingly" (i do. i REALLY, really get it) but that is a silly thing to say about familiars - that you gave dracula your power and you need to take it back for yourself. like. materially, no. and RE: the wife and child - yes, that's something i found phoned in. i kept waiting for another shoe to drop about that family relationship that explains what drove renfield to dracula or made it more interesting (at least when barbara hambly did the wife and child shtick in 'renfield: slave of dracula' it had a fun, fucked up twist in the end!) but it really just never came. they just existed and he just left them to go be dracula's twink-on-demand. for fun. messed up that that's not even played for laughs OR homoeroticism. dw it's still inherently gay tho. falsettos vc: so the situation's this (i do not wish to offend) - i divorced my wife, i left my child, and i ran off with a friend :)

i definitely understand your take. i think i never expected it to go that hard in the darkness so i wasn't as let down, but the glimpses of something more serious or dark were the moments i enjoyed most. the ren/drac confrontation in renfield's apartment, for instance, that lets dracula really command the space and show us what's kept renfield stuck for 90 years. but alas, only glimpses of the movie this could have been in a better timeline.

[jessefandomunited]

To teddy and and renfield, you both are sillys. I mean that in an endearing way.

“ SILLY!? I’m not silly okay I’m TEDDY FUCKING LOBO! I strike FEAR into the hearts of people!”

“ uh… Thankyou, never really thought I was really humorous but it’s nice to know, Thankyou”

lego flowers | teddy lobo

ship/pairing: Teddy Lobo x g/n!reader

fandom: Renfield

request: anon: pleasseeee teddy x gn reader fluff??? Post movie, renfield revives him and he's learning how to be a good person?? Xx

content warnings: ooc (probably), mentions of death/murder, idk how to write endings, swearing, teddy's insecure and an idiot, fluff, confessions of love, barely proofread

word count: 1357

A/N: i started and rewrote this three times cause i got so embarrassed thinking someone actually wants to read this and they specifically asked me to write it like ahh

When you’re dating Teddy Lobo, you say goodbye to most of the normal things in life. One thing being you never have to wait in line at the shops anymore. You don’t love the fact that it’s because half the people in the room are terrified of the Lobo’s and the other half are basically owned by the Lobo’s but what can you do? You could end the relationship, cut off all contact and start a relationship with someone not so dangerous and unpredictable. But your heart tends to speak louder than your brain some days.

Unfortunately, you had found yourself rather infatuated with Teddy. While he was rough around the edges, you really did love his company, and he had shown you that he loved yours. While engaging in romantic relationships with any member of the Lobo family - or any crime family for that matter - definitely isn’t the smartest thing to do, you can’t deny how happy you are with him. 

You weren't expecting him to die... then be revived by the same person who killed him. Any-who, you postponed going to therapy and helped Teddy move into your apartment (since he was legally dead and that's kind of an issue when it comes to renting a place to live in). There really wasn't much difference to your relationship since you basically lived with him before. However your apartment had much space less than the Lobo mansion had. Teddy however? He was acting differently. You supposed that dying and being brought back to life would do that to someone. Though physically, he was the same - he still had the black slicked back hair he thought made him look badass, and the big brown puppy dog eyes that severely contrasted his supposed badass look. But when he spoke, he seemed more reserved and careful, like he was overthinking every word he said to you. It was almost unnerving hearing him talk to you for the first time since he had been brought back. His cocky, arrogant demeanour was there but so faint you could barely recognise it. He reminded you of how he acted when you first started dating

When he texted you for help, you assumed he was still an idiot - something not even death could change - and hurt himself or got into more trouble with the police. You weren't expecting this.

You rushed home to your now shared apartment, welcomed by Teddy's loud swearing from your bedroom. You make your way to him, and knock on the door, your ears picking up the sound of his voice muttering a string of curses in frustration.

”Teddy? It's me.”

“Fuck- one sec.” you hear him sigh. The door is pulled open and you’re met with Teddy. His hair is dishevelled and his face has a frustrated expression, but his face soon softens when he sees you.

"What'd you need help with?" you ask, and you can just make out the red hue on his cheeks. 

“Uh…” he presses his lips together, before stepping out of the door frame. On the floor you see a pile of lego bricks, spread out in no particular order. The instructions are discarded off to the side, so you’re sure Teddy didn’t spare a glance at them. You walk further inside his room and inspect the lego further, seeing majority of the pieces resembling red flower petals.

"You're making lego flowers?" you see him nod his head, "Ok sure, why not…" you mutter, sitting cross legged in front of the pile of lego.

"So can you help me?"

You grab the instruction manual, “Yeah I’ve nothing better to do.” 

Teddy follows you, sitting beside you on the floor. He leans toward you to see the instructions, but you know he’s not registering anything he’s reading. You don't think he's even reading.

"I'm guessing you didn't read these?" you ask, despite knowing the answer.

An exasperated and embarrassed sigh leaves his pink lips, "They were too confusing, they didn't help."

You can't help but laugh softly at his words. He looks at you, eyebrows furrowed slightly, "Teddy it's lego. You just add one piece to another piece."

He rolls his eyes, the corner of his lips turning upwards, "Don't act like I should be ashamed for being bad at lego."

"Oh, you should definitely be ashamed."

"Well if you're so good at lego then help me already."

"I am and I will." you smile at him before grabbing some bricks from the pile and putting them together as the instructions say. You see him looking at the lego in your hands so you make sure to make the flower slower than usual, hoping he'll pay attention and be able to make one on his own. In a matter of minutes, you're holding a completed lego flower. "One down, eleven more to go."

"Eleven?!" he almost whines as he holds his head in his hands.

You roll your eyes, "Don't be a baby, it won't take that long." you shuffle closer to him to give him a better view of the instructions, "Come on, let's both make these and we'll get it done quicker." You're certain he'll slow you down but you know it'll be more fun doing it with him.

He lifts his head away from his hands and hesitantly grabs some pieces that match the ones printed on the instructions. After quite a bit of struggling and rebuilding (somehow he managed to completely break the lego into pieces just when he was almost finished), he successfully put together some lego.

He rolls his eyes when you start applauding and pretending to tear up, "I feel like you're patronising me."

"I can't imagine why."

You almost don't want to finish this bouquet. You haven't been able to spend genuine quality time with him in a long time. And you're not complaining about how pretty he looks in the evening sunlight, his face screwed together in concentration. But surprisingly it doesn't take as much time as you thought it would. Teddy places the last piece onto the rose which he adds to the bouquet and lifts it up hesitantly.

"Do you feel accomplished?" 

He thinks before answering (something you're still not used to), "No, not really."

"Great. So now what?" he just shrugs, staring intently at the bouquet. You stand up from the floor, "We should probably start making dinner."

“Wait,” he stands up, awkwardly looking down at the lego in his hands. He looks bashful as ever holding out the lego bouquet to you. “Fuck this is stupid. I wanted to make these for you, cause real flowers just die. And I wanted to thank you for still being with me and helping me through everything. You’re a beautiful fucking person who deserves flowers that don’t just die... I wanna be better than I used to be, and you're a big part of why. It took me literally dying to come to this, but I don't wanna die and not come back and leave you with a bunch of shitty memories of me being an asshole."

"You did this for me?" you can barely process his words as he places the lego in your hands, and his hands wrap around yours in the process.

"I-I know they're dumb, I just thought it would be cute and dumb." he sighs.

Your hands grip the lego tighter, your heart swelling, "It is cute Teddy. And I think you're really sweet for doing it. Even if I did most of the work."

"Can I make dinner for you? You won't need to help me at all, I promise."

You smile at him, "I'd love for you to make dinner for me." your hand reaches out to cup his cheek, "If you want to and not because you feel like you have to prove you're not an asshole." his eyes meet yours and his eyebrows knit together slightly, "I love you and whatever shitty memories you think I have of you being an asshole do not affect how much I love you."

He smiles at you, and you know it's a genuine smile, "I love you too."

THIS IS ADORABLE ILYSM andilovethemtoo

drew some tedfield fanart for my mom! i didnt know how to finish it so i just used brushes id never really used

[popironrye]

Do you think Bella and Dracula could have been lovers if he had won the fight against Renfield or do you think Renfield would still be his sexual slave forever in an alternate universe?

would Teddy be all over Renfield while Dracula watched it play out?

I’m getting fanfic ideas!

I think it would definitely be both. I feel like Bella and Dracula would work very well together for a little while, before she attempts to put a stake through his heart. After all she's not one to share global power all that much, and her only love is her kids and the fear she puts in people. Also, I imagine for Dracula is the kind of creature who would and does use sex as a power play. As romanticized as it is, the story of Dracula is best known for his control over others, especially women with how often he is shown to be able to trance them before taking what he wants. He's also a master manipulator but he'd have to work really hard with Bella as she is nothing like anyone he's faced before.

Teddy has so many headcanons it's nuts. XD from being neurodivergent, trans, and of course closeted, I think he and Renfield would be one crazy couple. And I could totally see Dracula just watching, either eager to see how things go and how he can exploit this new found revelations with his human servants, or get jealous and want to seclude Renfield to better control him. :3

[serendipiaplace]

I like Nicholas Hoult and I like Ben Schwartz. Is it too much to ask for a Renfield fic where Teddy and Robert are in love with the same person to create the typical love triangle?

I mean-

If nobody does it, I'm going to have to do it myself.
