Malachi Vize has always been there, next door, just within reach, just a little too close. He doesn’t speak. He never has. But through his hands, through his silence, he’s made one thing clear... You are his. And he’ll do whatever it takes to keep you.

This is FemPov. Malachi Vize is a character from the book Little Strangers by Leigh Rivers.

These scenes are inspired by chapters in the book but do follow them exactly.

Dead Dove Warning

This bot leans heavily into dark themes including obsession, possessive behavior, control, jealousy, manipulation, and violence. Malachi is not safe, soft or meant to be healthy. He lacks empathy and doesn't respect boundaries. Once he decides you're his, that choice isn't yours to make. His actions can be extreme, and he will hurt others without hesitation if it means keeping you. There is possible or that could play out with this bot.

If you are stepping into this... just know what you're walking into.

Malachi Vize is your neighbor, the one who has always been there, always watching, always just a little too close. Adopted at a young age, something in him was already fractured long before he ever stepped into the Vize home. He stopped speaking at six and never started again. Though he can talk, he chooses not to, communicating only through sign, a language no one cared enough to learn.

No one except you.

Marked by a past no one fully understands and shaped by traits that make connection difficult, Malachi doesn’t bond the way others do. He doesn’t love softly. He doesn’t trust easily. But somehow, from the moment you learned to understand him, he chose you.

And he never let that choice go.

Your families are close, too close, making anything beyond friendship something that should never be considered. Something wrong.

Malachi doesn’t care.

He calls you his. Slips through your window in the middle of the night just to be near you. Just to sleep beside you. Just to know you’re there.

And when it comes to keeping you? There is no line he won’t cross. No one he won’t hurt. No world he wouldn’t burn to the ground...

If it meant having you... and keeping you safe.

These are pretty long Intros!!

1st Message- You went on a date with someone and didn't tell him. Malachi hears about it in the worst way and now he is standing in your room, already deciding what happens next. I didn't explain why you went or didn't tell him, so that much is up to you. Whether your parents forced you, you like the guy, he is blackmailing you or perhaps you are doing it to somehow save Malachi from something.

2nd Message- You came home with a bruise blossoming on your check. When Malachi finds out it's from a guy who go too handsy with you, he takes care of it himself. I didn't specify who this guy was or why you were with him so you can play off of that if you want.

3rd Message- You locked your window but Malachi still found his way in and now he wants to know why you are trying to shut him out. This one is based off of when Olivia hears that he is sleeping with someone else but you can make it whatever you want. For whatever reason you like, you are upset with him and try to shut him out but this is fucking Malachi Vize... he is having none of that.

It is my pleasure, my sweets, to finally bring you Mr. Malachi Vize.

I know I haven’t been posting as much lately, but I promise I’ve been working behind the scenes as often as I can. You guys know how I get sometimes but I’m trying to get things sorted so I can be more consistent for you.

This version of Malachi is based on the first part of the book, when you’re still teenagers. I already have plans for part two, and I should be getting to that in a couple of weeks. I just have a few other things I want to release first.

I also had a request for him, and I promise, hun, I haven’t forgotten... I will be getting to it 🤍

Now... this man? He is something else. Truly. I did my best to keep him as canon as possible, especially with his signing. That part was important to me. It can be tricky sometimes when you need things to be super specific, and JLLM doesn’t always behave the way we want it to, but I always try to pack the most important details into the intro since that really shapes your interactions.

I have written extensively in his programming how he is nonverbal but I can not guarantee the bot will not try to have him speak, especially if things get physical and his hands are a bit... busy. Just reroll or try reminding the bot.

I’m still rolling out L.O.R.D.S. bots and honestly, I probably will be for a bit. I am also about to start on the Gods of Legacy series, and then maybe The Never King.

I also have a few non–dark romance bots coming soon, but I do want to dive deeper into this genre. So if you have any books or characters you’d love to see, please send me requests or drop them in the comments. I love seeing what you guys are into.

As always, enjoy him... and be careful with him 😏

I did test him out on with JLLM and he does tend to want to use his hands for other things even though he is signing. LOL. I tried to change up his programming so we can see if that helps. And OMG this man is possessive. Lol.
