THIS.

Can we all stop simping for the grabber. I get it, Ethan Hawke is hot, we all love a good villain and don't get me wrong, The Grabber was an outstanding villain, however, just because he is played by a hot actor who did a good job portraying him and getting the point of the character across does not mean you should turn around and start writing smut for this character. Looking into the movie and everything, I saw that The Grabber was based off of the killer John Wayne Gacey and that's why he was a part time magician. in the short story, it is made very clear that The Grabber molested the children he took. He was indeed a sexual predator as confirmed by the short story and the actor Ethan Hawke himself in several interviews. The game Naughty Boy is a sexual thing. And the sheer amount of trauma that can come from being beaten within an inch of your life should not be romanticized. I see people on here going "He can beat me with that belt" and I get a little bit disturbed, I don't think you're grasping what terrible things have been done by this man. It's not the same as simping for a regular killer, no. This man stalks, kidnaps, sexually assaults, and kills young boys, and I do not think that's sexy in any way, shape, or form. And the fact that the reader is female puts me in awe even more, because there's a method to The Grabbers madness. He takes boys who have longer than average hair he can play with, who are not old enough to consent to him, and who he can most importantly get off on, hence why the fics in the first place don't even make sense.

tl;dr: Stop simping for The Grabber he's a pedophile.
