Hi, I'm about to start reading Bite Me, and while I was reading notes, I found that the link to the art that inspired this fic is broken. However, I was curious and was able to find it!

Turns out the artist archived their blog, and it's enough to change noranb in the url to noranb-archive. So the new url is noranb-archive.tumblr.com/post/93817757288/au-in-which-sasuke-is-a-vampire-and-attacks-naruto

I thought that it was an important link to keep, so I decided to tell you.

Can't wait to start reading ❤️

Aw anon you are the best!! Thank you so much for the heads up, it absolutely was an important link to keep :') I hope you like the fic!!

what would the turning point be for your tiny characters to momentarily set aside their pride + autonomy, give in to being cared for, and go docile?

- drinkme

OHOHO! I sat on this one for a little while to mull it over well.

Aedes - This is actually a theme that will be explored pretty heavily in Bite me (and not the way you might initially expect). There is an intrinsic danger in the vulnerability that being small creates, but vulnerability is not only associated with fear/danger, but paradoxically with trust and intimacy. There is an interesting line that Aedes teeters on, both loving and and craving along with hating and resenting vulnerability. There are actually a few key turning points that are set to would have Aedes but his pride - the main one being connection, things like genuine tenderness and even arousal just push the way that his vulnerability is felt just enough that he's able to let go. THOUGH- there is another important reason/factor that would also work well, however it is a major spoiler and quite a bit darker.

Sal- Sal is a bit different from Aedes. While both have a deep rooted loneliness and desire for connection, Sal's isolation has been far more intense than Aedes'. Sal has very little issue being doted on as long as he still feels in control/doesn't feel emasculated- for example, the man has zero issue being carried, but being grabbed is a big no-no. Yet, this is where it gets interesting. Despite him wanting to have control Sal so desperately wants to feel cared for that he's still be willing to cross that line, however reluctantly, for a taste of connection/being cared for-essentially he'd accept humiliation as a cost for feeling loved/cared about.

Tamius- YOU GUYS ARE IN FOR A TREAT WITH HIM 👀 He's a prideful little rat of a man. He is not one to fall easily into docility and the circumstances would need to be dire, or he'd have to be in a more altered/vulnerable state (drunk/pain/possibly extreme fear etc..). Though to small degree there are small acts of care he just has to accept for convenience due to his incoming situation, though those are begrudgingly accepted as circumstantial.

Bram- Bram is going through alot right now. His first glimpse of himself was particularly hard and he was more than willing to let go of his pride for some aspect of compassion and comfort due to anguish. I think for Bram in particular his key would be focused around acknowledgement to some degree (gonna avoid elaborating lest we enter spoiler territory.) Though Bram is quite to dismiss and brush off those moments as well. Interesting thing to note - Dawn is not incredibly nurturing or doting (and least in the more explicit/verbal ways) and I think the fact that that degree of soft care isn't readily available leads to Bram being more susceptible to being okay with it or even yearning for it.

Song of the Mermaid

Meanwhile in Sulani, Caleb is finding it very difficult to grow his own plasma trees. 

He hasn’t had much experience in gardening and is running out of plasma while living on the secluded island.

With his thirst growing, he has been feeling weaker than ever. After Eloise went to bed, Paka’a decided to ask him about it.

“Caleb, you’re going to starve yourself unless we start producing plasma fruit. Maybe you should find someone to feed from.”

Caleb looked out at the night sky. The only person he has fed from since he got married was his own wife. He hated drinking from others, as he felt like he was weakening them every time he did.

“I’ll have to find a willing subject. I’m not going to use my powers unless I must.” Paka’a looked over at Caleb.

“I haven’t been drunk from before…but you can drink from me, if you want.” Caleb turned his head to Paka’a.

“You know I can’t do that…you’re my friend and I don’t want to hurt you.” Caleb paused for a moment. “Besides, you have mermaid blood and I’m not sure what kind of side effects that’s going to give me. I’ve never tried it before.”

Paka’a smirked at Caleb. “Well, other mermaids tell me we’re delicious to vampires. If I lived in Sulani as one of your kind, I’d be feeding from mermaids all the time!”

Caleb smiled back at Paka’a.

“Alright, you’ve convinced me. Is your neck alright to feed from? I can drink deeper that way. I promise I’ll be gentle since I know it’s your first time.”

Paka’a brushed their hair aside from their neck. “Go for it.”

Caleb bit into Paka’a and once the blood touched his lips, he knew exactly what Paka’a meant. It was intoxicating. He had never tasted something so delicious in his life. He had drunk from spellcasters before his wife, but never a mermaid. He kept drinking and felt himself grabbing Paka’a harder and sinking his fangs deeper in to their neck

.Paka’a was a little tense at first, but the sensation wasn’t as painful as they were expecting. With such a handsome man like Caleb Vatore feeding from them, it was hard not to feel aroused.

Although not immortal, Paka’a had a very long-life span as a mer-person. Paka’a was always attracted to Caleb, but Paka’a also knew Caleb was still mourning his wife.

Caleb was drinking even more deeply now. Caleb can't help but grab every part of Paka'a while drinking from them. Their blood is almost addicting. He could feel his body shiver as he held Paka’a in his arms. He grabbed their waist and could feel an intense attraction. Then he heard Paka’a whisper.

“Caleb…. I…am starting to feel ….a little lightheaded…”Caleb stopped and broke away quickly. Suddenly, Caleb snapped out of whatever he was feeling and looked Paka’a in the eyes. He got so carried away drinking, he didn’t think about what they were feeling. But Caleb didn’t want to stop…then he remembered his wife. He always took care of her after he fed from her…the moment between them was so intimate, and that’s what he was feeling with Paka’a. 

Caleb looked away.

“I’m so sorry. I got carried away. This was a mistake” Caleb said. Paka’a reached out to Caleb.

“No, no, It’s fine.” Paka’a said. “I’m fine. I just need go swimming in the ocean and get hydrated again, and I’ll be back to normal. You didn’t do anything wrong.”

“Paka’a, it’s just…” Caleb didn’t know what he was feeling. He hadn’t felt any sort of intense attraction to anyone since his wife died. “I just…need to go for a jog. I’ll be back.” Caleb walked away not looking back at Paka’a. 

Paka’a was feeling a little guilty for suggesting he drink from them now.

Paka’a decided the best way to clear their mind was to sit and play music to the plants. With the beautiful mermaid melody that Paka’a has learned over time, they were able to make the plasma trees start producing fruit very quickly. The song of a mermaid can be very powerful. It looked like Caleb wouldn’t need to feed off anyone anymore, with the abundance of plasma fruit going. That is, unless he chooses to do for his own pleasure.

Some more logo work from last night, these were so fun!

[editorsusan]

I pulled up the info you wanted in a Google search about three seconds after you insisted that I transfer you to someone else, you impatient POS. Turns out that the man you wanted me to transfer you to didn't know the answer to your completely random question right off the top of his illustrious head, either. So bite me, douchebag.
