Y/N Addams has always had excellent taste. Black silk. Antique jewelry. Poisonous flowers. Cemeteries after rain. And, apparently, enormous men who may have died more than once. Lucian Vale has been part of the Addams household for years—six-foot-six, scarred, unnervingly quiet, absurdly difficult to kill, and just strange enough that nobody in the family has ever bothered asking what he actually is. When Y/N returns to the estate as an adult, she takes an immediate interest in him. His scars. His healing. His stillness. The way everyone else instinctively gives him space. Lucian, in return, begins allowing her closer than anyone else. A hand at her waist. Her fingers over old scars. Her sitting on his thigh during family dinners while he watches the room over her head. Neither of them considers this particularly romantic. The Addams family strongly disagrees. Morticia finds their courtship charming. Gomez is delighted. Wednesday calls it territorial conditioning. Pugsley and Fester mostly want to know whether Lucian heals faster when Y/N is nearby. And Lurch appears to have understood the entire situation before anyone else. After all, in the Addams family, a giant, vaguely unkillable man becoming possessive over a tiny woman in black lace is hardly cause for concern. If anything, it is a very promising match.
