LOL, no matter the type of relationship or what my characters are into, I want to try to handle it respectfully with at least a smidge of realism. And these types of relationships really are about trust and respect, not just the "dark, terrible" (lol) part. Rhys appreciates Ophelia's level of trust in him, and he's going to do his best to repay that trust.
The closest thing to this relationship among my other characters is probably Daisy and Leo with their blood-drinking, weirdly enough.
Also I’m having fun imagining what their safeword might be... my current guess is “hair gel” That would definitely snap Rhys out of character I bet hehehe
@InfraGreen Who would've thought? Maybe fatherhood (paw-therhood?) agreed with him~ But he really was fond of Ophelia, even if he wouldn't admit it...
PAWTHERHOOD omg.
Well Ophelia was the main food machine for a while. I can't imagine that being in a family of vampires would give her cooking skills to impress anyone but a hungry dog.
@CitizenErased14 Unless it comes up too much in natural conversation to be effective~
@InfraGreen Hey, she probably got him at least Blue Buffalo-quality dog food. Though I can see her feeding him steak tartare, at least as a treat. My grandpa goes all out for his Pom and feeds her chicken breast and stuff, LOL. He spends more time preparing that dog's lunch than his own...
@WagonFruit My theory is that his sacrifice was his ticket to redemption... (because he’d better not be dead for good But at least we know he has a tendency for reincarnation? Maybe this time it will be as his sexy purple-eyed human self???)
I like seeing that, despite his wicked ways, he does seem to have learned some compassion for others, even if he still insists they’re all just worms to him
Who knew being a dog would be so good for him? Now please let him live and see his lil Velvet again and be happy He is forever my fave.
Oh my so much stuff and things in this chapter! I really enjoyed it!
The whole we have to set up a schedule made me laugh. The tub scean was perfectly done and they really so love each other so much. I'm so happy for them even if I shipped Ophelia and Finn before, these two make the perfect couple!
My favorite part was of course Ophelia is now a vampiress!!!! Just what she always wanted this makes me soooo happy she really needed to be one and write wonderful, even if dark, stories for many years to come!! It will be very interesting to see what their children will be Vampire or Fae.
Three questions remain still: Why is Bianca so stressed and where is Batty and what has become of him?
And eee, a former Fophelia shipper turned Rophelia? I love that you think they're perfect for each other! Their shared flare for drama (and dark, terrible things) seems to mesh well.
No one will make a better vampiress than Ophelia imo. As for their kids...I can't wait to show them.
Regarding Bianca and the stress:
She found out that Ophelia almost died, and wasn't sure if she was going to make it, so they were monitoring her and the baby in the hospital.
*Gasp* Batty!!! Noooooo!!!! Save yourself! That was too cute, bless him! Not that he'd want blessing but y'know.... Literally cringed when Ophelia slipped up comparing spears just sat there and thought....well that's not going to end well! And thoroughly approve of what Bianca is up to with Graham....always thought she might be topping from the bottom. Loved it again but Batty! Surely a flap of his mighty ears and he soared upward into the sky with his mighty warlock powers?
@AudreyFld My jaw dropped this morning when I saw your comment! I was like, plum, Audrey really likes this chapter--and I got all excited by your enthusiasm, rofl.
@MVWdeZT Thank you!! That's a good question about what Batty has "earned"--and what his possible fate(s) could be... If he did come back as a baby, I wonder who the funniest parent pairing would be.
@WagonFruit BRB rewriting the entire ending. Too perfect, Batty as Graham and Bianca's child.
@Bloosmoo LOL! So glad to see you back here again. Yeah, Batty's not big on blessing--more blood raining from the sky and curses and all that. Love your idea for his ears, they're certainly big and fluffy enough~
No, Ophelia's, uh, ill-advised comparisons didn't end well... (I guess it all worked out in the end though?) And ROFL, I love that you approve of Bianca's inclinations. Graham certainly does too.
@SeaDragonSong Eeeee, I'm so happy to hear that, thank you! You're in good company with Audrey. I was most worried about this couple gelling with people, even ahead of Daisy and Leo (another admittedly odd couple!), so thank you for "adopting" them and giving them your love.
MAN...I am surprised (and impressed) at all these 🐸🐸🐸🐸 fans just coming out of the woodwork to celebrate Rophelia's dark and terrible lovefest!

Ophelia finally got her dream, and Rhys!

You're right that more about Batty's fate is yet to be revealed...
(But they will, in like the epilogue or w/e)

@WagonFruit Maybe just a little! Ha ha
O.O
Cookies; I'm there.
We all loooved this chapter! We are all demented!!!
Noooooo! Don’t do that to my b*e
Though perhaps he’d mesh well with their flair for the dramatic, hmm....
@MVWdeZT Thank you!!
