#i actually don't like how hector was written in the present day sequences he's so weak willed bleh

Isaac drew his lips away only to push the hair back from Hector's neck. When he saw the skin smooth and bare, he forcibly turned Hector's head to see the other side. No scars, no evidence of what happened. Isaac frowned and Hector grinned, combing his hair back with his fingers. Obviously he had gotten the wounds healed and the scars erased. That angered Isaac even more; while he did have himself healed after a feeding, he always left the scars.

I have many thoughts about this fanfic, both positive and negative (uhhh trigger warning for plenty of very graphic rape, abuse and torture, especially in the first chapter which is just brutal), but there are some parts I still can't get out of my head.

Why is Hector grinning here? What is he gloating about? It could be the fact that he managed to get the bite marks erased... but I can't help but read it as Hector danging in Isaac's face that he's Dracula's favorite and he's afforded certain privileges.

And like.

Hector being smug and arrogant about being Lord Dracula's special boy, the most beloved and bitable and fuckable, enough to shove it in Isaac's jealous face just because he can? Him taking pride in this, before realizing how wrong the whole situation is? Hector, before affirming his own dignity as a human, loving being his Lord's favorite toy because that's the closest thing to love he has experienced? The spoiled golden child before he grows into an adult and sees that it's all very fucked up?

OH I AM SO NORMAL ABOUT THIS YEP I SURE AM
