you made my heart surrender

They hadn’t meant to keep it a secret. Really. It just so happened that Bess, Nick, and George weren’t super great at noticing that their two friends were dating now. And that fact had amused Nancy and Ace so much, they wondered how long it would take them to catch on. -- An alt post 3x10 fic, where Ace didn't get sucked into the liminal space and Nace got to have their conversation at Nick's loft and they got together. But the rest of the Drew Crew just like, don't notice. Nancy and Ace start to wonder -- what would they have to do to get their friends to realise they are dating?

helloooooo sam! it is i, your extremely secret and mysterious gift-giving sleuth. i have questions for you: 1) what did you think of the love curse storyline? loved it? hated it? wish they'd done it differently? 2) what do you think nace's plans for the holidays would be? 3) and, most crucially, what is your fave 1975 song? i hope you are having a wonderful day and continue to enjoy the week. kindest regards, your secretive little sleuth xoxox

MY SECRET SLEUTH!!! i apologize for being so incredibly late- a new game dlc came out and my brain shut off.

1. personally, the scale was tipped passed neutral and more in favor of the love curse storyline. i thought it was interesting and if we had more time i would have loved a more fleshed out sin eater arc with a slower discovery of tristan being the SE, because i am the angst queen, whilst simultaneously hating it. it's a slippery slope and i am precariously hanging on.

2. plans for holidays: chanukkah is spent with ace's family and they definitely are indoctrinating the drew-hudson family (bess is a drew ofc) and by extension george and her sisters are included as well as nick. for christmas, the drew's invite every family to participate in their traditions because they want to reciprocate being included ofc. i think aside from holiday traditions like hanukkah and christmas family things, nace would obviously do comfy movie time (doesn't have to be holiday, they could watch any movie and be cozy), ice skating (who knows who is the best?), and as always, snowball fights are fun. however i have no idea how weather works in maine so who knows if the snow is good for that! i live in the hot hot sandy dunes of florida where 65 means a sweater and a scarf or you freeze.

3. well. this is a difficult question.

last secret sleuth, it was Inside Your Mind. since their new album has come out and i've since seen them live, it is definitely About You (in terms of naceplications because COME ON. i basically bullied it onto Kennedy's s4 playlist) and my all time favorite, the one that is being tattooed on my body sometime because of the meaning, is Give Yourself a Try. However, however. Holiday feels songs to listen to- Wintering and When We Are Together off of their new album (Being Funny in a Foreign Languge)!!

I love you so much my most secretive sleuth i just want to 🤏🏻

hello sam!! thanks for your answers again! just wanted to ask a follow up:

1. You mentioned your fave non-nace centric episodes—what are you fave nace centric episodes?

2. You also mentioned characters and storylines you wanted to see more of. Totally agree, I would have loved them to bring back Grant in season 4!!! But what Nace-specific storylines would you have like to see handled differently? Or just explored a bit more?

3. I also like a college au. Are there any other settings you enjoy? Like a specific workplace? Or based on a specific movie / tv show?

Thank youuuuu hope you’re having the best best best day ❤️

HI SECRET SLEUTH <33333

i always enjoy seeing you pop up hehe

again, this is super difficult because obviously all of them are stunning, but i have to go with the library ep in s1...even if it isn't nace centric it is to me. that was the beginning and then i believe it's 403 when they try to break the curse for the first time. they're so happy and it makes me :D!!! but obviously 413 as they're literally SOUL BONDED.

since 413 was the last episode, i would have LOVED seeing more of the soul bond. like did it just burn the curse or did it do more (is it like a new power where they are even further linked?) it would have been super cool to see if they have like a further link forged since it is now their last lifetime they can live.

i have a few that i have thought of writing but haven't actually gotten around to writing LMAO- like for specific tv shows i was going to write a Cobra Kai AU which the idea of having Ace and Nancy be rivals on Cobra Kai and Miyagi would be amazing. as for workplace, im a whore for secret workplace romance but everyone knows (its not a secret).

love u sm secret sleuth <3333 have the best day evaaaarrrrrr

Good day to you! It is your Secret Sleuth here again. Thank you for your answers before, they have been noted. I come with some other queries, this time about ND specifically.

1. Over the whole show, which episode did you like the most? And why is it your fave?

2. Was there a storyline that you wish had been explored in more depth or handled differently?

3. Is there an alternate universe (eg, college au) you would have loved to see Nancy and Ace dropped in to?

All answers are very much appreciated, friend.

xoxo your secret sleuth 😘

hi again my secrete sleuth <3

picking a favorite episode is genuinely so difficult. if i can give you one from each ep that isn't Nace centric, it would probably be 113 or 116, 212 (i'm a grant stan), 303 or 307 (the grief eps were always so good), annnnd 404 and 413.

i really wish we had more grant- i know i will keep harping on it but i want to know more. the road back of course, rip tom swift and what could have been. overall i'm actually pretty satisfied with the many loose ends they were able to tie up. i would however love to see more background for Bess and what is happening with her, at most we got her burning the family invitation from the Marvin's in s2 or 3 if i recall. anything else i'm blanking on bc it's late.

oh jeez. college aus are my jam. there are several aus that i love the universes that were crafted, specifically the winery au that was done by jules (i gotta reblog w a link as i can't find it at this moment), but anything college is my jam. i love modern aus because i usually am reading or watching something fantasy where everyone is d wording LMAOOOO

love ya secret sleuth <3333

Hello there Samantha. It is your Secret Sleuth here. I have some questions for you!:

1. What is your fave rom com?

2. What is your fave video game?

3. What are your top 3 media tropes???

Looking forward to your answers, friend! XOXO

hello secret sleuth!

1. my favorite rom com...that's a hard one. one of my favorites is the Wedding Singer. my guilty pleasure is Adam Sandler movies and i love Wedding Singer and his other film with Drew Barrymore, 50 First Dates.

i love a lot of 80s rom coms. of course i love Pretty in Pink and Sixteen Candles, as well as maybe any J-Lo movie that came out (Maid in Manhattan, etc) in the 90s. Julia Roberts rom coms are also good.

2. oh my gosh, secret sleuth you aren't making these questions easy. i love Stardew Valley, Hades, Disney Dreamlight Valley, Dead by Daylight. I'm also a big fan of the game Oneshot (do not look up spoilers if you haven't played it, if you don't know what it is i straight up just recommend playing it). But definitely cozy games and horror games

3. ok let's go with

- sunshine + grumpy

- fake relationship (fake marriage is my favorite, i spent way too much time in the mcu fandom reading reader inserts of having to be on missions where you were fake married)

- i guess forced proximity? like sharing a bed bc there is only one (or if they have to keep up the fake marriage allegation but one of them sleeps in the guest room, etc).

(can you tell i love fake dating/marriage)

i hope these help you secret sleuth!! <33 ask me more questions if you need some more help!!
