    Summary

    AU. He is, like so many other men in precarious positions of power, obsessed with lineage. But for him, it is biological, connected to the blood, the viscera, the endurance of the body. He wants to watch her survive each child, then conceive another. He wants to breed her. He told her so, though he didn’t use those words exactly. He said, Lucy Gray, I never want to see you without a child inside you. Preferably mine.

    Summary

    “The child has been just fine not knowing of your existence.” Lucy Gray’s voice almost broke. “And I was happy raising him away from you.”

    If hearing that hurt him, Coriolanus didn’t show it. He clearly wasn’t going to change his mind. “This is the best for him, Lucy Gray. And you’ll eventually realize that it is for you too.”

    Her lips trembled, but Lucy Gray refused to let Coriolanus see her tears. “I despise you.”

    Coriolanus expected her hatred, he really did. And yet, her words cut through his heart like the sharpest of knives. “I know.”

    or

    Six years after Lucy Gray left him in the woods, Coriolanus finds out she has a child - his child. Looks like after all, he can have the money, the girl, and a legacy.
