Serial Killer AU Headcanons

Serial Killer AU Headcanons

Sooo apparently I have more thoughts about this AU than I initially anticipated...

Lilia is a former general who defected, frustrated with all the rules surrounding permissible killings

Malleus is an aspiring politician who’s looking to make his rise to power as smooth as possible

They’re murderous besties <3

Silver is the son of their very first victims (a couple known for their corporation’s corruption + rampant bribery)

They take him as a special token or trophy of sorts, to commemorate the occasion

He grows up hearing stories of his birth parents’ crimes, and how his Papa and Uncle Malleus had been so noble to “take care” of them…!

Death is very, very normalized in his life (:

Malleus eventually settles down in a major city to pursue his career while Lilia and Silver continue to move between different towns and countries (though they still visit him often)

Silver first learns to fingerpaint with blood

His wardrobe consists entirely of whatever clothes Lilia and Malleus can salvage from their victims' bodies

His meals are provided via those murders, too (i.e. the meat), because they’re just so sustainable like that!!

It’s gotten to the point where his stomach can’t handle anything other than flesh

Silver keeps his hair long because it helps him maintain a more androgynous look, which is extremely useful for honeytrap missions

He often crossdresses, which the other children ruthlessly tease him for

Thus, his only true friend is his Papa :)

(Any other attempts to play with his peers results in yet another body to bury in his flourishing garden, courtesy of the quality fertilizer Lilia is constantly supplying)

The most notable murders Lilia and Malleus have committed so far are: the older boy bullying Silver, the teacher lusting after Silver, the girl attempting to court Silver…

In Silver’s eyes, death is something that only happens to people who deserve it—and his beloved family members are the best people to determine that

He comes off as mildly sociopathic at school when he displays zero empathy for others’ losses of grandparents and pets

Despite all that, however, he really does try his best to be kind and sweet and likable…!

He currently aspires to work under Malleus and become someone who can educate those around him about how to be virtuous and prevent some awful fate from befalling them

Here’s a silly little doodle inspired by the Lilo and Stitch event… For context, in Hawaii, wearing a flower behind your left ear indicates that you’re taken <3

Manifesting Deuce x Silver… Them trying to set their parents up… only to fall in love instead…

Cursed thought!! The Queendom of Roses event’s cast is what it is because those are the people least likely to be attracted to Deuce’s mother…

Lilia using sleep deprivation torture tactics on a young Silver after finding out he’s been cursed… perhaps even turning to Crimson Flowers when all else fails, thinking that if he could just draw out that one ounce of malicious magic from the rest, the boy might be fine…

I have come to the realization that it would be completely reasonable for Briar Valley to host debutante balls (and not just delusional wish fulfillment on my part)!! After all, if dragon eggs are only to be hatched with genuine love, it would make sense to maximize the number of opportunities available to meet the right partner—especially with Malleus being the last of his lineage.

Thus, in conclusion, Silver will 100%, canonically, debut when he's eighteen in a long, flowy dress and capture Malleus' attention and seduce him and win over his heart and they will have many, many children together because they're forever in love <3
