U is for Undead (The Lincoln Lawyer Vampire AU)

Title: U is for Undead
Fandom: The Lincoln Lawyer Vampire AU
Pairing: Mickey Haller + Cisco + Lorna Taylor + Hayley Haller
Rating: G for Goofy as all get out
Word Count: 238
Summary: Mickey is musing on the things that can’t do as an undead attorney.
Author’s Note: Written for the A to Z challenge at [livejournal.com profile] 1_million_words.  The letter was U and, to quote [livejournal.com profile] kaige68, “BTW — U is for undead! Just saying”.

“It’s been brought to my attention that it’s not professional to snack on your witnesses.”

“No, Mickey, it’s not,” Lorna said.  She glanced at Hayley, as if asking for help from the teen.

“Really, dad,” she sighed.  “You can’t tell me that this wasn’t something you already knew?”

“Oh, he knew,” Cisco said.  “There was an incident… before.”  He shot Mickey a look.  “But we haven’t had any since.”

Mickey glared at Cisco.

“Stop trying to intimidate him telepathically,” Hayley groaned, exasperated.  “That’s not very fair.”

“Or nice,” Lorna added.

Mickey grinned.  “All these rules,” he said, looking upwards as he shook his head.  “How will I ever learn them all?”

“He acts as if he hasn’t been this way for fifty years,” Cisco muttered.

“The trials of being undead,” Mickey said, sweeping an arm in front of him.

“More like the trials of being a human attached to the undead,” Lorna shot back.

“And a lawyer at that,” Cisco added.

“You know what,” Mickey asked, not expecting an answer.  “I don’t have to listen to you, any of you.”  He smiled at his daughter. “Except for you, mija, I’ll always listen to you.  But the rest of you?”  He snapped his fingers, and disappeared in a puff of smoke.

“I really hate it when he does that,” Cisco grouched.

“Same,” Hayley said.  “It was cool when I was little, now I feel like he’s just showing off.”

PLOT BUNNY NEEDED??? I will try to help.

You know, I'm thinking this could exist in the world that my friend writes those detective novels, or similar. I'M SO EXCITED FOR THIS!!!

ALWAYS! Score, you always have good ideas.

You're very right! I keep meaning to ask you the name of the book you loaned me because I want to see if there are more in the series yet.

Kanaan & Tilney is the series, and there's a 3rd book that I didn't know about!!!

Loved it!

P.S. Found two boo boos.

YAY! Thank you. :)

Truth. :)

Ugh. I didn't have time to proofread.

You're welcome.

No worries. I've been catching mistakes in my old fic, so I feel ya.

First one is in the summary and the second was in the last paragraph, but you fixed it.

I usually try to at least read things over once. Should have done that yesterday.

Ugh, I didn't even think to look in the header, thanks for catching that.

I try, occasionally, to use my powers for good. ;)

You're only evil in this sense because I'm forcing this ridiculousness onto the public.
