it's friday night and my niles/cc headcanon wants to come out and play. i can't get these two out of my head.

i imagine they're still married 25 years later, both of them with silver hair and dressed impeccably. when they married, some of cc's upper-crustiness rubbed off on niles, but only in a superficial way. she still wears chanel, dior, givenchy, versace, and looks sharp in her skirts and pantsuits with jewellery. niles' wardrobe is more or less the same except more expensive. i imagine he is recovering from hip replacement surgery, which fran contributes to niles' inability to keep his hands off his wife. he doesn't refute this, but he does tell her that cc gives as good as she gets. fran tells him he doesn't need to paint a picture.

cc and niles are back in new york, having hated california. they moved back just before becoming parents to identical twin girls. they wrote their own joke when they came out as brunettes, and their mother had to pretend not to know where the brunette genes came from. it is niles' longest running joke and even the twins, who are now 24, occasionally like to tell people they have "mummy's hair."

the twins are quite unlike their parents and cc blames this fact on the "hippie forest school" niles insisted on sending them for their elementary education where she claims they learned to tie-dye before learning to read. cc had wanted a prep school, but niles insisted on a waldorf education. cc eventually gave in, partly because niles was very convincing with his mouth and hands, and partly because deep down, she was miserable and alone in her own educational experience. she did wish niles had found a better compromise, rolling her eyes when the parents' orientation at the twins' school provided a vegan, gluten-free (and booze-free *gasp*) spread. she threatened her husband and threw him her best glares, but he promised to do that thing she really liked in the hot tub that night, so she let it be.

the twins grew and their parents doted on them, even and especially their mother. and they absolutely adored her. they think she is so funny, even though she isn't trying to be. twin #1 is a pansexual vegan in law school who once chained herself to a tree to protest cutting down the rainforest. cc was upset that her "lesbian" daughter wouldn't let her throw a coming out party and niles had to run interference. she had pouted about it for weeks, even saying she didn't mind twin #1 was vegan. coming out parties are so passé, twin #1 claimed. niles reminded cc that twin #1 was going to law school so she could defend her mother against future lawsuits from terrified choreographers, thus saving her money. niles reminded twin #1 of the 33-hour labour her mother was in to have her and her sister...and the drugs wore off during delivery. twin #1 offered to have a low key celebration at home where her parents could celebrate their "lesbian" daughter. "pansexual, mummy!" twin #1 would exclaim exasperatedly with a shadow of a smile on her mouth.

twin #2 attended her mother's alma mater, bryn mawr, but ended up being a yoga teacher-reiki master-massage therapist-ukulele teacher. she's currently taking a herbalism course and experimenting with aquaponics. she lives in a queer collective in brooklyn, sharing a house with 7 other people. cc keeps trying to give her money, but twin #2 is adament about making her own way. she did a couple of years in the peace corps, where she picked up an interest and talent for survival skills. she met bear grylls once and it was the highlight of her year.

though cc loves her family, she still finds great pleasure in terrifying chorus boys and making choreographers cry. she has headed her own production company since returning to new york after the very brief stint in california. she has been on countless magazine covers, has done dozens of interviews, received a gracie award and a few tonys (more than maxwell), as well as is a frequent guest lecturer for NYU theatre classes, putting the fear of god in all the students. she has good instincts and brains and broadway has taken notice. when maxwell moved back to new york from california a few years after leaving, he wanted to merge his company with cc's and bring her back onboard. she said no.

niles has become a writer. since marrying the love of his life, his writing has been described by critics as truly beautiful, inspirational, and creative. he writes plays and has a column in the new york times called "are you being served?" (pun intended). a few years back, he wrote a book of poetry under a pseudonym and it was a best seller. it made the new york times' best seller list for four months straight. reviews called it "erotic," a "love story for the ages," and a "gorgeous love letter."

it was all about cc.

fran read it and told him cc was a lucky lady. he'd responded that he was the lucky one.

they still throw zingers at one another, and the twins have come to appreciate a particularly good one, but they largely stay out of it. in high school, when going through a particularly difficult phase of behavioural challenges, they experimented with throwing them at their parents. however, their parents, being pros, ate them up and spit them out, making the twins wish they hadn't even bothered.

cc is currently taking some time off to help niles do rehab for his new "magical hip."

"baby, does this make me old?" he asked her, feeling self-conscious of the walker he temporarily uses to get around due to his hip replacement surgery.

"yes, but you've been old for 40 years, so this is nothing new."

"my hip is new."

"maybe i should get something new to go with it."

"you could use a facelift," he deadpanned. "sorry. old habits."

she leaned over and gave him a loving kiss, making promises of all the things they're going to do once he's healed

that's all for tonight, but they live rent-free in my head, so there's bound to be more.

The Nanny/Fresh Prince of Bel-Air Crossover where Niles catches C.C. insulting Geoffrey

Niles: I leave you alone for five minutes and this is what happens! C.C.: Niles I can explain! I didn't mean for this to happen! C.C.: He means NOTHING to me! It's you I despise! Niles: Don't give me that! You probably say it to all the hired help! C.C.: No it's true! I loathe you and only you! Niles: I feel so cheap. Like a 99 cent sponge that doesn't even have a scouring pad on the back. C.C.: I'M cheap! Come on, call me a harlot, a floozy, a drunken tart! Niles: Never again! C.C.: Remind how I can only get a man to fall for me is if he was thrown out of a moving car! Niles: YOU DON'T DESERVE IT. C.C.: Tell me you hate me. For the love of God tell me you hate me! Niles: Miss Babcock, you are a beautiful, charming, intelligent, and compassionate woman. C.C.: No! Niles: You've always been the brains behind Maxwell and the fact he cannot see you for the amazing person you are means he's a fool. C.C.: Stop! Niles: And by the way, you couldn't possibly be a day over... 20. C.C.: NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO! Niles: I want you to know one thing, Geoffrey. You will NEVER, EVER, disgust her as much as I do! Geoffrey: I'm feeling pretty disgusted right now, actually. Niles: UGH, don't you come on to me! ... C.C.: I threw away the best thing that ever happened to me and for what, for WHAT?! Fran: Cheer up Miss Babcock. If it makes you feel better, I could ask if you stole your hair from a clown. Fran: Or are you renting? C.C.: I DON'T DESERVE YOUR COMPASSION!

Oh. I just realised something I hadn't noticed.

It's about Niles' name.

Throughout the series, we had only one mention of Niles' possible family name. And that's in episode "The Butler, The Husband, The Wife and The Mother".

When Fran asks Niles what his last name is, Niles replies: "Just Niles, Like Cher".

So he's actually answering truthfully: his last name is "Niles". She never asked for his real name, because she thought "Niles" was his name. Soo, he has a point in his favour there.

Anyway, I checked on Reddit for more information about this, and came across a debate on this topic where they too came to the same conclusion.

One of the comments said (and I quote):

“I think Niles being his last name is right. In a Season 4 episode, Maxwell's father greets Niles by name and says he hasn't aged since he last saw him and Niles says "That was my father". Unless his father was Niles Sr., it would mean that Niles is the family name.”

Now. If You go to IMDb and you read the trivia of that chapter, you'll see that they tell us that Niles' full name is:

EDWARD EZEL NILES

The information comes from IMDb so it's true. So I came to the conclusion that "Niles" is the surname.

Back to my point... Niles and C.C. share the same name composition!

Chastity Claire Babcock → C.C. Babcock

Edward Ezel Niles → E.E. Niles

Such a clever thing btw. I didn't notice, but probably you did. Maybe I'll write something about this. Have a nice day ✨

just over here cocooned in my bed thinking about cc and niles and how cc loves to surprise him with expensive things because it's not a big deal for her. she loves seeing his surprised face as he tells her she's lost it.

and he likes to surprise her with little things that actually mean a great deal to her that she would otherwise overlook because she's always had everything handed to her.

she buys him expensive cufflinks or a watch. he has a warm bubble bath waiting for her when she gets home or surprises her with a massage. she finds little notes in her lunch.

she finds the family she never knew she needed. he finds a place for all his love and devotion to go that is finally reciprocated and appreciated.

New AU idea

Nami's in her late 20's and stuck in a well-paid but toxic workplace until, all of a sudden, her boss who spent the last decade telling her she was "oh so valuable" and he could never let her go... lets her go.

Now jobless, but really needing the money if she doesn't want to risk moving back with her mother or sister (who she did not want to burden or worry), Nami accidentally runs into a job interview for a nanny.

Luffy here is a successful millionaire (what he does? Idk yet either), who as much as he hates it, finds himself having no choice but to hire someone to help daily with his daughter, Tama.

It isn't immediate, but along the way, sparks start flying.

#lunami #yes this is inspired by The Nanny #I really want Hancock to play C.C. but Idk who to put to play Niles yet #Zoro would fit a lot #but I also would LOVE to have Law of all people as Luffy's buttler LMAO #so yeah #one piece AU #monkey d luffy #nami #otama #tama one piece
