Klaroline WIP Wed - Antique Shop AU

Listen, i had three options for things I've been working on and it was a Kingdom of Corpses, Necromancer smut, or this new thing, and I picked this as the most SFW option. This is still rough.

---------------------

The laptop was a cover. Well, the office work still needed to get done, and it’s true that she normally sat out on the patio with it for an hour after lunchtime ended at 3:00 PM, but Caroline was rarely there past 4:00 PM. She prided herself on having competent managers at the coffee shop and when her 'shift' was over, she went home.

Not so today. Today she lingered so long, April had started looking concerned on her third latte, and she flat out refused to add another dollop of ‘Pep In Your Step’ to the cup. One was all the customers got, one was all she got. It’s just—she heard the door open to the right of her and quickly looked at her screen—she had a mystery to solve. The jingling of keys in the lock made her glance sideways and she caught a glimpse of dirty blonde curls and a nice set of shoulders bent over the front door of the shop next to hers. It was annoying that someone so suspicious was so attractive to her personally. She looked back at her spreadsheets.

Footsteps left the door and walked down the sidewalk towards her. Caroline leaned on her elbow to peer closer at her screen. Nothing to see here buddy, move along, she wasn’t paying any attention to you, don’t pay any attention to her. The closer he got, the more nervous energy she felt in her stomach, some odd feeling of something about to happen winding her tighter and tighter. Maybe it was her magic trying to warn her.

When his phone rang loudly, she nearly jumped, and he cursed. Looking over to see him pulling it from a pocket, they made eye contact, and he quirked his mouth up in an apologetic little smile.

“Urgent, I’m afraid. Some other time, perhaps?” He said, as if they’d had a meeting planned, and Caroline blinked at him.

“Does ‘In your dreams,’ sound good to you?” she asked tartly. Of all the presumption…

He smiled, an unexpectedly mischievous thing framed by dimples that promised sin, and looked as falsely sheepish as it was possible for someone to look while still letting you in on the joke. “Your appearance in them has been somewhat perplexing to me. For the moment, though,” he held up his phone. “Pardon me, sweetheart?” Turning down the alleyway that ran between Caroline’s coffee shop and the storefront he had taken over, he put the phone to his ear and started talking in a low tone into it.

Caroline watched him disappear towards the small parking lot at the back end of the buildings, and then turned back around to pull out her phone. Setting a timer for ten minutes and setting it on the table, she went back to her computer. And just stared at the screen, thinking.

His name was Klaus.

But basically, Lumiere remembers his first life and Cogsworth doesn't. They finally come across each other again, and Lumiere is stunned to silence.

I've been thinking A Lot about how Dorothy apparently wanted to open an antiques shop and uh, a little AU might've sprung forth from it. I present:

Golden Girls antiques shop AU

After divorcing Stan, Dorothy opens up her own antiques shop (let's keep it in Miami because that's just easier lol)

Sophia still burns down Shady Pines has to move in with Dorothy at some point, so she also helps with the shop. Much to Dorothy's frustration because all she really does is scare off customers by threatening them (admittedly with increasing creativity) when they attempt to haggle.

Sophia also glares at people when she thinks they might be stealing stuff (they usually aren't, but to her credit, she's caught and handled at least two real thieves. Never mind the poor, bruised, innocent people who received the same treatment)

Blanche, who already lives with Rose (they've been roommates for about 6 months), often stops by to see if Dorothy has any new paintings. Working for the museum, Blanche likes to stop by antiques shops from time to time to see if anything valuable pops up.

Dorothy's shop is Blanche's favourite by far. Not because she actually finds anything there (Dorothy doesn't even have a lot of paintings to begin with) but because she loves its owner.

She's not quite prepared to say how much she loves its owner, but suffice to say she would've been able to get herself invited to dinner (at the very least) if Dorothy had been a man.

So Blanche stops by very very frequently. They talk a lot.

Dorothy feels like strangely enough, Blanche is the only person she's ever been really open to about her divorce, since it happened 2 years ago.

Dorothy keeps any paintings she does receive in storage until Blanche has seen them, before puts them in the shop. Just in case there's one she does want for the museum this time.

Blanche starts bringing Rose along, because Rose wants to meet this really nice lady at the antiques shop herself. She's brought cookies (the cookies are tooth-shatteringly sweet, but then so is Rose, and Dorothy can't help but love her for it)

Rose shows up more often by herself, because the shop is on her way to the counseling center and she likes Dorothy and Sophia's company. She tells them St Olaf stories (Sophia tries to usher her out the moment she gets the St Olaf Story Look™ on her face, to no avail)

At some point Dorothy needs an assistant in the store who won't scare off customers. She shares this with Blanche, who suggests hiring Rose, who was told only a week ago that the grief counseling center is going bankrupt.

Dorothy's unsure about this, initially. I mean, could you see Rose working in a store? She might give away everything for free! But she feels bad about her being without a job, and if she's really honest with herself, she knows she'll miss Rose's company when she stops dropping by on her way to work.

When Rose starts to work in the shop, she turns out to be shockingly good at her job. Dorothy has no idea how she does it, but when people haggle with her, Rose somehow ends up getting paid more for the item than it initially cost.

When asked about this, Rose brushes it off with a simple "I sold waffles by the side of the road as a kid"-story (Sophia doesn't cut her off this time because she wants to know if Rose will disclose how, exactly, she learned to haggle that way. But the story ends without a point, as always)

In fact, the store is busier than ever. Rose brings homemade cookies or pie to work every day that she shares with everyone who visits. And she's so nice to people they just keep coming back, and bringing friends. Even Sophia can't chase them off anymore.

Dorothy wonders, at some point, if she ought to turn her shop into a café.

(she doesn't. there's no way Rose is ever going to charge money for the food she brings to work)

Blanche drops by basically every day after work at the museum at this point, for a chat and (more and more frequently) to have dinner at Dorothy's. Sophia's a great cook after all, and Blanche and Rose rarely get the chance to cook a warm meal for themselves after work.

It's been about a year since Rose started working for Dorothy, when Dorothy develops CFS. Rose and Sophia step in and run the store together for a while, with Blanche helping out whenever she can (she usually comes in to do household chores, but considering she actually hates those, mostly ends up talking to Dorothy for a couple of hours about her dates instead. At least the sentiment is nice)

But when it's been almost a month and Dorothy shows no signs of getting better, their concern about both Dorothy and their situation grows. They need help, medically and in the store, but they can't afford that on top of the rent Dorothy pays for her own house.

Blanche offers the solution before anyone else can think of an alternative: "Why, it's very simple. You two just move in with us!"

Sophia protests about moving in with Rose of all people ("You're crazy if you think I'm willing to live with that moron! As if working with her isn't enough!") because she probably feels at least as bad about this as Dorothy.

Seeing as there's no other choice they decide to move in with Rose and Blanche. This works out even better than expected for all four of them

Dorothy goes through the whole diagnosis stuff we've seen in the show and doesn't miraculously heal between episodes, but she improves slowly with the help of her friends to the point where she can work part-time again

They keep a very comfortable chair (with one of those adjustable backrests so you can kind of lie down on it?) in the store for Dorothy so she can rest at work, if she needs it

ANYWAY they slowly start to realise how much they mean to each other and just how lucky they are to be together

Blanche keeps working at the museum because she loves that job (and also they don't really need someone else to help in the shop now that Dorothy's back part time, so financially it's a lot more secure if Blanche keeps another job unrelated to the shop)

Rose gets to bake sickeningly sweet stuff every day and befriends all the kids near the shop because of it (Dorothy tells her she should've opened a bakery)

Dorothy realises just how lucky she is to finally be living with people who make her feel better about herself and her life. Finally she lives with people she doesn't just have to put up with, but whom she genuinely loves

Sophia, who loves them a lot more than she lets on, decides Blanche and Rose are her daughters now too. Turns out she was kind of predicting the future with that because obviously Rose, Blanche, and Dorothy get married at some point

#to be added to (probably) when i come up with more ideas because this au lives in my head now #they're wives :') who run an antiques shop :') #can i just say that wanting to open an antiques shop is in the top 5 of queerest things dorothy has ever done #like COME ON #the golden girls #golden wives #dorothy zbornak #sophia petrillo #blanche devereaux #rose nylund #long post #and when i say long post i mean LONG POST

Person A is pawnshop owner who works with Person B, an exiled god who smuggles godly relics and items from other realms and is very good at locating them in the human world. Person A gives Person B a place to stay off the radar of other gods, since Person A has a blessing that makes them undetectable to any supernatural entity and it rubs off on those around them, so as long Person B stays in their vicinity frequently, they will be indistinguishable from a normal human. Normally, Person B would be an easy target to any supernatural hunter without Person A’s gift, but is able to live a relatively normal and mundane life. But in exchange, they help Person A acquire real and genuine relics to sell to their more high paying customers. Person A doesn’t care about the money though, since their true passion is just collecting silly and pointless antiques, and the only way to keep their shop running without financial stress is to have some very expensive items for those who know how to ask.

Ninjago Movie universe but it vaguely follows the story of the show

Pilots

* The skulkin are high school students and are also a weird biker gang

* Nya is opposed to them because she’s also a biker and to her biking is about honour, whilst they see biking as tool of intimidation

* Nya is so impressive she nearly becomes the new leader of the bikers before Garmadon suddenly appears to steal that title at the last second

Rise of the snakes

* The serpentine are various humans

* Skales was vice principal before taking over from the other hypnobrai general and hates Lloyd

* The fangpyre general(s) are conjoined twin art teachers that turn everything into snakes (as in craft projects). They once involved Jay in an art project where they painted him to look like a snake against his will

* The venomarie general is a science teacher and Kai accidentally makes meth in a Chemistry class

* Pythor is still a snake though. He’s like Bigfoot and Lloyd finds him and hides him in his room like he’s an awful roommate. Eventually Pythor screws Lloyd over and leaves to live in the sewers

* Pythor threatens to release the great devourer who like meowthra, is an irl snake. He never does but it’s teased

* Pythor eats Wu but Garmadon punches him in the stomach and spits him out again. Garmadon ends up yeeting Pythor into the atmosphere

Legacy of the Green Ninja

* The overlord is the spider that bit the snake that bit Garmadon

* Dareth is a ninja wannabe who got to be part of one honourary adventure

* Garmadon revisits the island and fights the spider (the overlord) that bit the snake that bit him before it disappears into Ninjago city

Rebooted

* Pixal is the ai voice connected to all the ninja mechs. Zane is dating her despite the fact that the other ninja thinks she isn’t sentient. He’ll bring flowers to the screen of his mech, and one day when no one is watching she says in her robotic ai voice that she loves Zane too so maybe she is sentient??

* Borg is the tech company technically owns the garbage dump as their personal waste bin. Jay’s parents work for the company

* All the mechs are built by the ninja, Pixal was technically software from Borg

* Cryptor and the other evil nindroids are just various electronics that Zane has beef with (cryptor is a microwave or something)

* The overlord spider appears before the ninja and there’s a slapstick sequence of them trying to kill it before Zane explodes himself to bits to kill it. The ninja slowly descend into chaos for the whole day trying different ways to fix him before Zane fixes himself

#shoot I accidentally posted this before editing #adding tags now hahahah #ninjago #lego ninjago #the lego ninjago movie #Ninjago au #I had things for up to like s6 but I’m not satisfied with s4 so idk #s6 is about Jay getting a job at an antique shop

My Girlfriend and I went to an Antiquestore that is closing down and is having a big Clearance Sale and we got a beautiful Picture Frame that I got for 15 Bucks instead of 70 due to it being slightly chipped and a gorgeous Teapot.

Beloved Seren!! For the writer asks (no pressure!):

🌞 Do you have a preferred time of day to write?

💖 What made you start writing?

👀 Tell me about an up and coming wip please!

*hugs* PD, hi! Thank you <3

🌞 Do you have a preferred time of day to write?

Either morning or evening. I’m more productive in the morning, but don’t overthink as much in the evening. Afternoon is just impossible for some reason. 

💖 What made you start writing?

I’ve always daydreamed a lot, but Dragon Age was what made me start writing things down. I became obsessed with the games and began visiting the subreddit a lot, which is where I found the Weekly Headcanon and Writing Threads. After months of lurking, reading other people’s contributions and leaving an occasional comment, I finally dared to join. Those threads have helped me so much with developing characters and it was wonderful to be a part of a community like that (I think tumblr would have been too daunting for me back then).

👀 Tell me about an up and coming wip please!

Okay, so, I’m very, very excited about my Antique Shop AU! It’s about Yael and Nate, to no one’s surprise ever, but instead of Yael being detective, she starts out working at an antique store. The thing I’m looking forward to most is how they, after an initial one night stand, go slooowly from friends to lovers. It quite different from their canon path, but I like it a lot for them.

#seren answers #ask game #the thing about the antique shop AU is that it needs plot #only relationship development is not going to work #so I'm trying to come up with an actual story now #which is hard sadfadss

[eeblouissant]

Okay this is from that antique shop au wip BUT. I had to share this dorothy it was killing me - she’s so cute 😭😭😭

#I’m literally dying I love this au so much #and the headcanons I’ve come up with for it!! everything’s just so soft and sweet #anyway I’m going nuts #antique shop!au #the golden girls #dorothy zbornak #art #artist #artists on tumblr

I can’t reblog the original bc OP blocked me before they deactivated (imo it’s ridiculous that a dead blog’s blocked list is still active but w/e).

I definitely would love to develop this into a oneshot… maybe for Halloween this year…. 🤞🏻

Gotham but is OUAT.

Or a weird magical curse "normalizes" Gotham and makes everyone unhappy in the process. It is a ploy from the goverment into turning the city into a conservative wet drean example of how they can fix crime without having to deal with any of the systemic issues behind it (like they already try to do, except is literally impossible).

Dick Grayson lives in Bludhaben and isn't affected. Until he goes visit his family and realizes his city is all brainwashed (and honestly is a bit weird that there is no queer people, all POC act like "ideal minorities" and let people be assholes to them and everything is somehow more ableist? All the money Bruce spend in funding inclusivity programs and trying to create a less bigoted generation via education and actual suppor for minorities was waste aparently, the Arkham reform too, they had made soo much progress, they had actually reformed some villans, all for this shit? Also why everything looks like a 50's add? He knows Gotham loves it's atemporal aesthetic but cammon it isn't it. ). Well now Dick is the story's Henry and has to convince his family something is wrong and look for what exactaly happened and how to solve it.

Just like OUAT every chapther focus in Dick's (and later his team of people who accepted to help him in his quest) actions and discoveries but also in a flashback about what each characther was doing when the got catched by the curse and how their life was before. And some episodes with the question of is it worth to sacrificie free will if people like Joker will stop being a problem?

#batman #ouat au #dick grayson #he is our protagonist and is very cool #he also feels like tim did when no one else belived bruce was alive #damian eats meat and Dick is soo done #no one can find selina #what is weird because she was living in the mansion before the curse #Penguim became a criptobro and that was the moment Dick decided that is it I can't take this bs anymore #them he saw killer croc being a priest and he decided that he foind the most cursed thing ever #harley is a stay at home mon #she has no kids and had just recovered her license to therapy before the curse #and no Dick doesn't know who this kids are #he is sure they are just some kids that lived across the street and the curse just yanked them from their real parents #ivvy is also nowhere to be found #she ends up being the second member of dick squad #riddler is a middle school teacher and honestly why all the ex rogues are around young kids #ex rogues and the joker who was still active untill the curse and honestly why tf did they give him kids #scarecrow has an antique shop #he had a diploma cammon #tim and steph are dating again and part of a christian youth group #bernard is tim straigth best friend who talks to hin about girls as if they are in a 50's sitcom #Jason is a cop without relations with the Wayne family and that's just getting even more absurd for Dick #barbara is also a middle school teacher and doen't remember their relationship #cass actually didn't change much #the curse is not as efective with metas so duke starts remembering as the events go on #he is the third member of team let's break this curse #batfamily #batman rogues
