What part of Vexen screams abused housewife, seriously?
Why is AU!Vexen with an abusive lover in the first place?
We all know the lack of authorities in fanfic, but jesus christ on a pogo stick.

**PERSONAL PERCEPTION ALERT**
Consider it, Vexen has a lot of pride and a massive sense of self importance; it's unlikely he'd put up with a partner treating him like crap and degrading him.* He also seems rather found of self preservation and would be likely GTFO ASAP if the situation was bad.
Of course, emotional and psychological abuse** is an entirely different story and for another rant another time since the fics I'm ranting about generally focus primarily on physical abuse.

*unless of course said abusive partner has the backing of/is someone who can and will kill you if you step out of line or send an entire organization after you if you desert.
**and never a good idea if you don't have some grounding in at least basic psychology.

While I'm here, what part of Zexion screams abused house wife?
