Some general plot ideas with Maddox
While traveling out of town on business, Maddox “befriends” your muse, knowing it will help him in the days to come to have someone who will vouch as an alibi and who knows of his personality. He does some favors for your muse, gets a few drinks with them, casually meets up with them every so often, perhaps has your muse’s back on a little issue or two– and when the moment’s right, shows up at your muse’s doorstep with blood on his hands and face, asking if they don’t mind him spending the night. If your muse tries to turn him in on spot or refuses, he just might pull out some details about your muse’s life that he’s been investigating; things they don’t want anybody knowing. And if nothing like that exists in your muse’s life? He’ll tell them in detail exactly how he’ll fabricate a story and the evidence to prove it. Some of it will be a bluff of course, but what’s that to a man interested in either having his way with the world or getting a taste of justice? Of course, he could actually become attached to your muse… but that wouldn’t stop him from finishing his work.
Maddox eventually takes a liking to your muse (details of how they meet/know each other can be plotted out!) and starts to show an interesting in their well-being as they spend more time together. That includes asking about home security, offering to show them how to properly watch their back without looking like they’re paranoid, teaching them how to use a knife (and maybe after that, a gun), how to disarm someone, etc.
FWB plot just ‘cause Maddox is the type to have those kinds of relationships, maybe with a little something on the side like Maddox only hooking up with your muse to get info on something or vice-versa. Maybe they met through equally shady lines of work. Maybe your muse is a sweetheart and Maddox is naturally attracted to them and is slowly plotting out how to hurt them. Who knows.
SOMEBODY WITH A PARANORMAL/SUPERNATURAL MUSE OR A VERSE WHERE THEY’RE NOT HUMAN COME FUCK HIM UP PLS. He’ll become absolutely obsessed with the idea that Humans Aren’t Alone and you but your ass as much as he’ll be a cynical skeptic and still laugh at the idea of secret monster societies and realms, he’ll be intrigued as to how he can fuck up a non-human’s life
Your muse hires Maddox to do dirty work like creating alibis, organizing a body dump, collecting illegal evidence, or just some investigating. It can be for something very serious… or maybe your muse doesn’t know just how serious Maddox’s work tends to be and hires him to do something a bit more superficial. He’s humored by it, so he does it anyway since he’s more curious about your muse’s reaction than anything else.
Just a regular ol’ plot with Maddox being off-and-on again work partners with someone, because I feel like the dynamic would be ~neat~ no matter if he does or doesn’t personally get along with your muse.
