I was thinking about why I prefer fledgling/maker relationship over vampire/human despite the latter often having the human be turned by their lover. and of course it’s because they are about different things. for the turning evens the playing field, for the other it creates enormous power imbalance. what I enjoy about maker/fledgling relationships is the power imbalance, the difference in experience. the fledging struggling with self control and being forced to rely on their maker (if they are present and reliable, that is)
and the incestual undertones of fledgling/maker of course. makermentorfathermothergod. you get it?
