so very dapper

[temporal_affairs]

The Joker is awfully domestic, in his way. He makes pretty clothes. Nathan's perfectly happy to be a clothes horse for his sartorially-inclined mate. Some of the clothes are distinctly feminine, and Nathan does not wear those, although the Joker could probably talk him into a kilt, even if that's not a Manx thing but only their neighbors.

"Well, this isn't the first accidental half-vampire of all time," snorts Nathan.

[yourheartstrings]

The Joker giggles.

"...Aww, man," she says, "if we have a kid there's no way we can keep having this much sex, is there."

[temporal_affairs]

"They do sleep," he points out. "But this much? No, not really, not unless we follow the Coven around and hand it off to babysitters many times a day."

[yourheartstrings]

"Mm, but kids grow up," she muses. "Pretty quick, too, if they're half-vampires. And then we can go back to fucking all the time, if we want."

[temporal_affairs]

"That is true," agrees Nathan, nuzzling her throat.

[yourheartstrings]

She snuggles up and tips her head back a little.

"And we can fuck all we want now," she murmurs.

[temporal_affairs]

"Might be awkward and/or dangerous after a few days, but now, this time we are currently occupying, oh yes," he purrs.

Yep.

[yourheartstrings]

"I think I'll make myself all tasty again," the Joker decides. "That was fun."

[temporal_affairs]

"Er," says Nathan. "As long as you're still pregnant and haven't decided not to have the baby, do make sure I'm not taking stuff it needs?"

[yourheartstrings]

"Sure," she says, and stacks another hex on her regeneration power.

[temporal_affairs]

"All right then," he says, pressing his teeth to her neck.

[yourheartstrings]

The Joker makes herself all tasty.

[temporal_affairs]

Nathan growls and sets about developing another bellyache.

[yourheartstrings]

Mmmmmmmm.

"I love you," she says, when he is finally done chewing on her and the wound in her neck has near-instantaneously disappeared. "I love you lots."

[temporal_affairs]

"I love you," he says in a half purr, half groan. "And how you taste when you do that."

[yourheartstrings]

"Good," she says cheerfully. "That's the idea."

[luminous_regnant]

A few days later, there is a knock on their door.

[temporal_affairs]

Nathan's been too preoccupied to be checking his timer for things like "correct times to get dressed", so he calls, "Just a second!"

[yourheartstrings]

The Joker snaps her fingers, and they are both abruptly dressed—her in a proportions-adjusted version of the white dress that started all this, him in that blood-red shirt he looks so beautiful in and a pair of black pants she made him later.

[temporal_affairs]

"Thanks, babe," says Nathan, and he gets the door.

[luminous_regnant]

It's Bella. "Hello ag-" She stops mid-word, peering at the Joker.

[yourheartstrings]

"Hi!" she says cheerfully. "I'm pregnant."

[luminous_regnant]

"I can see that."

[temporal_affairs]

"She turned herself into a woman, we didn't think through the consequences of that, a few hours later she wanted French toast and I guessed, at this point we are pretty sure, she hasn't decided yet about having it but leaning towards yes," Nathan summarizes.

[yourheartstrings]

"What do ya think we should name the kid?"
