Sean Hampton. Bonus points if he gets to top in at least one of the ships.

Sean Hampton? Topping? Are you me???? I have no higher aspiration than to put this man in charge of a relationship, god bless you for asking Sean Hampton/Jonathan Reid Sean Hampton/Mary Reid Sean Hampton/Ichabod Throgmorton Sean Hampton/Tom Watts Sean Hampton/Lady Ashbury Sean Hampton/Fergal Bansha Sean Hampton/Thelma Howcroft Sean Hampton & Clay Cox

One way you could swing Sean topping in SeanReid is if Jonathan’s healing factor is making him feel numb and inhuman, and he starts to court injury just to feel something again (yes, very edgy, but isn’t that just so Jonathan? the grieving flagellant!); well, who better to absolutely fuck this man up than a Skal with a mouthful of serrated teeth? on Sean’s end of things, you could play it off like ~ Skal instincts ~ are compelling him to fight and feed and fuck, and really Jonathan is doing him a favor by letting him take those urges out on him~

You could also just have Jonathan be considerate and offer to take it up the butt, rather than assuming he has the privilege. I don’t think that’s a huge leap from knowing Sean’s past to extending the most basic courtesy of asking if he’s comfortable with that. That aside, I don’t begrudge what SeanReid exists for not delving into unpleasant subject matter. I’m just saying it could honestly write itself (but since it won’t I guess I’ll put that on my to-do list).

Mary is an interesting case, because she indicates in her boss fight that she was privy to Jon’s conversation with Sean--which is less surprising if we recall she drops a corpse outside right after said conversation. Well. I don’t see why Jonathan couldn’t “I envy the peace you’ve found” out of there, leaving Mary to contemplate the wisdom of her revenge (foregoing the corpse dropping and subsequent scavenger hunt), only to be conveniently in the area when Sean’s Skal transformation gets worse and his brain starts oozing out his ears. Need Ekon blood to survive the transformation? Mary is right here! And St. Mary is also Sean’s Saint of choice, so there’s really a LOT of depth to mine here for fever-induced beatific/romantic visions.

Also, a rich young heiress like Mary probably already does charity work, so it’s likely they’ve met over soup kitchens or something? Good works are absolutely the way to Sean’s heart--if you want to earn this man’s affections, you have to provide for his flock--so that puts Ichabod, Mary, Tom and Lady Ashbury in the running in several ways.

Ichabod has appointed himself the self-proclaimed guard dog of the night asylum, and has demonstrated he’s soft on vampires besides; Sean already has a glowing opinion of Tom, and he was probably there for the whole Dyson Delaney debacle--surely if anyone’s seen Sean vulnerable and in need of a friendly shoulder to lean on, it’s Tom? Mary seeking religious guidance from Sean after Dylan died... please...And Ash, well. I just think there’s a lot you could do there! What if she was gonna drink his blood and realized he was on his way to becoming a Skal? Doesn’t she think Skals are gross? And what does he think of her? I daresay he’d take Nurse Crane’s stance on the matter if he learned she was misusing her charitable position to eat patients, but there’s still room for nuance or even enemies to lovers there. And I mean. Ekon blood is Ekon blood (if we pretend she is not infected with the blood of hate)...

also Sean’s hospital bed was literally right next to Thelma while she was doing vampire ERP all over Thomas Elwood so that’s something. I don’t know WHAT. But it’s SOMETHING.

As for Fergal, well. I just think they’re neat! :) They are both Irish, both probably Catholic (albeit formerly in Fergal’s case), and they are both second-class citizen species of vampires. Who knows! Maybe Sean can invite Fergal to that “First Church for the Undead” he mentions in his voice lines? 🥰✝🧟‍♂️

Also the Wet Boot Boys leave the Night Asylum completely alone and that’s insane. Clay Cox has no damn sense but even he thinks better of bugging Sean? Okay. So. Sean has the city by the balls? Of COURSE he tops.
