ooc: Prompt given by adarkfallenstar"The death of hubby #2"

This has been in the back of my mind for a while and it was only last night did I manage to finally figure out how I'd write this.

( The dranichian glances over her shoulder, her gaze traveling along the wrinkles in the bed sheet until they rest on the unmoving figure that had been her second husband. )

flashback, fic - personal, involves: jerome from legal

Oooohhhh........ creepy cover-up stuff!

I read a news article years ago that said something to the effect of "people dread middle of the night, and this was why." I liked the middle of the night setting here!

I wonder how long they were married. I can see how she would be way too suspicious to tell him, as Darkstar would be too, but Luckystar Mike and Lily are at least a bit more trusting.

I like slightly-sleazy lawyer Jerome. Because, technically, he's doing what he's suppose to. But he hides just enough of the truth to be sleazy.

I like!

Part of me wanted to actually write out the "death scene" where she drains Donovan dry, making him all zombiefied then "fixing" his body up to hide any traces of her feeding. In reality, Angela got complacent and spoiled with Gabriel in the sense that she could openly feed off him. With husband #2 she has to resort to the old tactic of snack-and-release. It involves a lot of cuddling and Angela doesn't like cuddling ( ... )

This was great.
Nice touch with the middle of the night setting, it made everything seemed panicked and sudden, like the "real" situation was.

Wow, Angela went Momma Bear on Donovan. Yay. Good for her. That'll learn him to threaten her and her little man. I really like that you made him a xenophile...who is in turn disgusted and fearful of the unknown...a poser xenophile.

I love the wordplay between Angela and Jerome...two "sort of similar" types who are manipulating each other, but in the end, won't really harm one another.

Originally he was supposed to die accidentally. I had at first intended to have Angela ask Mike his thoughts on Donovan and he is careful in his response but they kinda both knew he wasn't impressed with him. So Angela subconsciously starts to wonder whether Donovan was the right choice, which he isn't.

And yes, the "real" situation was sudden. Not necessarily a heat of the moment thing because she really will eat anyone who threatens her that she can't silence any other way (i.e. have them committed to an insane asylum because bribery isn't always a guarantee for silence).

I really want to write out a conversation between Angela and Jerome about their views on humanity in general. Duuuuude I so want Jerome and Darkles to talk to each other 8D

The Darkles is hard to impress, this is true...but look at his Mom...the apple doesn't fall far from the tree XD.

No, he doesn't ultimately sound like the right choiceand that gets handled.

The Jerome and Angela idea sounds like a great ficlet ^_^
8D
What would they talk about?

Darkles really takes more after mommy dearest XDDD

Angela wouldn't have had to eat him if he hadn't freaked out so much and threatened to reveal her secret XD she's willing to make it work, if only because it's so inconvenient to have to do everything all over again.

Demmit I should not be shipping two parasites together but I'm such a sucker for these antagonistic pairings XD (hence DarkCaster and MyTrax love)

Is it strange of me to wonder why the Plumbers don't have a judicial branch? I mean, maybe the idea of justice is a strictly "Earth" or "human" concept, but you'd think there'd be a trial or something before they just... toss beings into jail/null void.
