#impending parenthood

[argentumcor]

NGL I don't plan on letting my daughter onto AO3 or other fanfic sites until she's at least 16, unless someone creates some kind of effective (kids can always find a way around with enough commitment) parental filtering mechanism. I may download stuff for her to read offline on an e-reader, but on the site? Absolutely not.

There's stuff I saw in fanfic that has left scars- even stuff I saw as a young adult, but the world we live in means you better be ready for that by then, the way it's all so casually tossed out there. It isn't in the comments or whatever. It's the actual content. There be dragons, and that is a serious warning.

Frankly, while I find the people who operate AO3 to have a kind of libertarian integrity, I do not think they are interested whatsoever in preventing exposure of the underage to those sorts of things. Any parental filter will have to be third party mechanism. This house will have some kind of serious parental control on the internet, which if it is useful at all will probably block AO3. Sorry. You know what's on that site.

I can't be the only millennial parent in fandom thinking of this. I'm sorry but kids need maturity and emotional control before they're even accidentally exposed to some of the stuff I've seen. Filters work great if you already have that, but you need to have it in the first place. I've seen a lot of great art in fanfic, beautiful things that touched my soul and/or gave me real time with characters I loved. In a lot of ways fanfic is a natural and ancient artform, people riffing off of others' stories since stories have been told. I don't want to deny that to my daughter, but the scars I have are spiritual stumbling blocks that would have destroyed me if I didn't have a real foundation as a person first.

I worry about so many things these days.

💕While Heading Home💕

This time, Eternity smiled at him in a way that she never had. It held a warmth in it that was all for him and it took his breath away, making those pesky feelings he continued to deny come to the surface in full force. They were enhanced when he noticed her hand affectionately cradling the slight roundness of her belly.

“For caring about this child and about me, despite my hostility toward you,” she replied softly. “Though your worry is unwarranted, it means a lot that you would worry about us, all the same.”

Elijah was surprised by her, having never thought he’d hear such cordial words from her toward him. Despite himself, it warmed his heart to hear them. Those feelings he always denied came forth, bursting out behind the wall he had built against them.

Before he even fully realized what he was doing, Elijah took her hand that cradled her swollen belly and drew it to his lips. He kissed her knuckles tenderly, while his eyes remained on the road. He didn’t immediately let go either, he held onto her hand, casually running his thumb over the back of it as he drove, in that domestic fashion of significant others.

He did this unknowingly for a while, until they had reached a stop light near the house. That was when he glanced over at Eternity and noticed the peculiar look she was giving him. Perhaps she had been giving him that look the entire time, he didn’t know.

Elijah looked at her inquisitively, before looking down at their joined hands and realized the reason for her odd expression.

💕Morning Conversation💕

Elijah moved around Eternity to the upper cabinet by the refrigerator where the ceramic bowls were kept, fetching a light green one and then moving over to the refrigerator itself. He took out the milk and the orange juice located there, setting both on the counter, before going over to another upper cabinet on the wall by the doorway. He removed a small box of granola cereal from there and set that on the same counter as the milk and juice.

“You do know that a bowl of cereal isn’t going to cut it, right?” The ethereal beauty sighed irritatedly. “My appetite is supernatural in nature, meaning I need to consume a lot in order to satisfy it.”

It was tempting to say something suggestive in reply with her talk of satisfying her appetite, but he refrained from doing so…for now.

“Yes, I remember,” smirked Elijah, though she couldn’t see it since he was busy pouring the cereal, then the milk into the bowl. “Pregnancy causes an insatiable need for food and sex, if I recall you telling me. Well, in regard to the former, at least, you can simply eat the entire contents of the cereal box and I do believe there are some fruits still left in the refrigerator you can devour, if you’re still hungry.”

Elijah turned to her, handing over the bowl and a spoon he had gotten out of the drawer next to where she was standing. He was glad that she took both and began eating the cereal without so much as a snide look. He leaned back against the counter with his hands shoved into his pants pockets, watching the lady gracefully devour the granola.

Then he boldly asked, “So, tell me, why is it that you’ve been avoiding me these past few days?”

💕At Unnecessary War💕

“It’s late, Sweetheart,” Elijah said to Eternity, as he tucked his phone back into his jacket pocket. “You need your rest. We should get you to bed.”

“I’m not tired,” she replied flatly. “I’m immortal, remember? Immortals sleep as a luxury, not out of necessity. Therefore, I’m perfectly fine without it.”

Elijah sighed heavily, “Well then, how shall we pass the time?”

“I don’t really care, but I do think I should stay on one side of the house, while you remain on the other,” answered Eternity. “For I have the monumental desire to inflict pain upon you and I fear I just might not have control over it enough to keep it contained, if we remain near each other.”

Elijah felt his jaw tighten in annoyance at her threat against him, especially after he had only just gotten done apologizing to her for his poor behavior. Surely her threats were unwarranted. At the very least, she should be willing to make an effort to be civil, as he was.

Yet, from the bitter irritation at her stubborn insistence to be antagonistic came that same dark, carnal excitement he had felt earlier at the plantation house. Her rude, defiant attitude called to that baser part of him again, transforming his annoyance into a sinful lust that beckoned him to bend her to his will in the most pleasant of ways.

It was quite contradictory, to be offended and turned on by her wholly unnecessary threats, but that seemed to be their dynamic to the letter.

The memories of that night which had lead them here came forth to tease him, igniting his desire and heating his blood with want. He recalled the way Eternity had been made to submit, after she had put up quite a fight.

She had clawed at him, bitten him, tore at him as if she really meant to kill him. Yet, he had been steadfast in his dominion over her, nipping at her soft skin in retaliation, tugging at her hair to take control of her, and pinning her to every surface he took her upon, all on the way to the bedroom, where he had taken her all over again…and again…and again.

It had started off primal, violent, and rough, but eventually it had deescalated into gentler territory, shifting from raw need to meaningful affection that was no less rawly passionate.

And it had left him questioning everything when it was all over.

💕Face to Face Again💕

As Elijah entered the tomb and drew into the same space as Eternity, his heart raced with anticipation as his eyes fell upon the glowing lady. She was turned facing away from the tomb doorway, so he couldn’t see much of her.

Eternity was humming softly to herself as she swayed gently from side to side. Her hair swung with her movements as did the bottom of long lavender dress, slightly sweeping along the stone floor.

He couldn’t yet see the proof of what Sophie had told him. He wanted to see it. He needed to see it.

Upon their nearness, Eternity abruptly ceased humming and swaying. Slowly, she turned to face them. She was as fluidly graceful in her movements as she always was. There was not even the slightest twitch she made that wasn’t done in a perfectly smooth fashion.

“Elijah,” she whispered, her voice sweetly melodious, despite the surprise coloring it, while her sapphire eyes widened in surprise.

Summary: A night of passion with a centuries old enemy ends up changing Elijah Mikaelson’s life forever. In investigating a plot against him and his family, he finds out Eternity is pregnant with his miracle child. The problem is, she loathes him…or so she keeps telling him, and is currently in league with the New Orleans witches, plotting his death. This makes for tense beginnings for these parents-to-be. Aside from stopping her murder plot against him and his siblings, these two must now also navigate this new territory of impending parenthood. However, perhaps along the way, they’ll find out they’re not as opposed to each other as they think.
