Chapter 68 - SBT

Here it is!

"You've put on some weight, luv'."

"Quoi?!"

[What?!]

"What have you been eating all this time?"

"Whatever I could hunt here."

Lucien was sitting on his lover's lap, straddling his thighs while Mundy was on his foldable chair, fishing.

"You hunt?" Mundy asked.

"Not professionally, but I know how to use a rifle." Lucien answered. He was hugging Mundy dearly.

"You gotta show me, eh."

"With pleasure."

Mundy chuckled.

"Meow…"

Lucien raised his head to Perle who was scratching the van's door.

"She wants to go back inside." Lucien said.

"Yeah, I guess Soo - oh, uh, let her meow a bit. I'm nearly done with fishin' and then I'll show you something." Mundy answered.

Lucien looked at the bucket next to Mundy.

"You have already fished enough to nourish a regiment!"

"Yeah, well… Ah, y'know what, why don't you start cleanin' and cooking the fish?"

"Fair enough, but first…" Lucien cupped Mundy's face and kissed him tenderly. Mundy melted on his seat and grabbed Lucien's waist firmly, which earned him a chuckle from the Frenchman. "I see I still have quite the effect on you, mon loup."

[my wolf]

Mundy smiled at the mention of his nickname. He hadn't heard it in more than a year.

"O'course."

Lucien took the bucket and got started with the fish. He cleaned them, gutted them and rinsed them in the lake. Meanwhile, Mundy caught one last fish and started helping his lover.

"I see you have kept my blade." Lucien said, watching Mundy deal with a trout.

"Yeah. I kept all your stuff."

"All of it?"

"All of it."

"Where?"

"In the van."

"Oh…" Lucien was astounded.

They finished with the fish and put it to cook over the campfire.

"C'mere now, let's go and open the van for Pearl to get in." Mundy took Lucien's hand and led him. "Go ahead, do it."

"What?"

"Open the door."

"Why? Can't you do it yourself? It's your van, Mundy." Lucien put his hand on the handle and pushed the door. A herd of fluff came out mewling and meowing. "What?! You adopted other cats?"

Mundy smiled. He took Lucien's hand and they went to sit around the campfire, on the ground.

"Look at them." Mundy pointed at the cats.

"Oui?"

"No, look at them."

"I am! What are you getting at?"

"Tell me what they're doin'."

"Well, Perle is lying next to this black cat, a friend I suppose, and they are surrounded by these kittens. You adopted a cat and four kittens? How do they all fit in the van?"

Mundy smiled.

"I adopted Pearl and… That black cat with the green eyes, he's Soot."

"Soot? He's a he?"

"Yeah. You named Pearl Pearl because she's white. So I named him Soot because he was black. Now look at the kittens."

"Hm." Lucien watched them play and fight.

"Come on, Lu', open your eyes!"

"I am!"

"Nothin' strikes you?"

"Non… Why? What is it?"

"Alright, watch here… Oi, the cats, c'mere."

The cats pricked their ears up and went to Mundy.

"They listen to you very obediently." Lucien noticed.

"See this old man, here? That's Lu'."

"Meow?" Soot asked and the kittens mewled in their turn.

"He's your other Gramps, babies. And for you Soot, well, he's the wifey's Papa."

Lucien frowned and then his eyes snapped wide.

"Wait, do you mean that…?"

"Look here. This is Diamond and this is Star, they're both baby girls." Mundy scooped them off the ground and passed them to Lucien who petted them and put them in the hole between his crossed legs. "This fat one here, that's Glovy."

"Meow!"

"Yeah, you're fat, little kitty, and we love you… And this last one… C'mere, you…"

Lucien was holding the baby cats and looked shocked, flabber-gasted and completely taken aback. He had never thought that Perle could give him kittens.

"Mon Dieu…" He held the kittens against him and kissed them with tears in his eyes as he started to understand it all.

"This last one is the smallest. What d'you think we called him?" Mundy asked, petting Junior.

"I do not know…" Lucien chuckled through his tears. "Give him to me, please, I need to hold him."

Mundy passed him on.

"Mon Dieu…" Lucien repeated, getting emotional again. "He looks so delicate and fragile…"

"Look at him, doesn't he remind you of someone?"

Junior mewled in Lucien's hands.

"I do not know… But let me ask, are these Perle's kittens?"

"Pearl and Soot's yeah."

"And you have been raising them?"

"Yeah."

"On your own?"

"Well, you weren't there so, yeah. But you didn't answer, what's his name?" Mundy nodded to the kitten.

"I have no idea, what did you call him?"

Mundy smiled and wrapped an arm around Lucien.

"Lu' Junior."

"Quoi…?"

[What…?]

Perle came trotting at her Papa and Soot followed her. They brushed themselves against him, purring loudly as Lucien hugged all of the cats in his arms.

"I missed you all…" He said between the mewls, the purrs and the headbutts.

"We missed you too, luv'..." Mundy left a kiss on Lucien's temple. "Right, the fish should be ready. Anybody hungry?"

The fluffy ears pricked up and everyone clawed and leapt at Mundy.

"Alright, alright, calm down, there's gonna be more than enough for everyone…! Gimme a hand, Lu'..."

They broke the fish into small pieces for the cats and blew on the bits to cool them down. The kittens mewled and leapt up to try and catch the food.

"Wait, guys, you don't want to get burnt, hold on…" Mundy blew on the fish and held it out for the kittens. "Here… Good kitties… Hold on, don't fight…!"

Lucien fed the kittens and his eyes rose to Perle.

"Mon bébé?"

[My baby?]

She walked to him, slowly, her tail straight up.

"She recognises you." Mundy said, continuing to deal the fish to all the kittens.

"I think so." Lucien answered as he fed her from his hand directly and brushed her hair.

"She does. See how her tail pointed straight up when she came to you?"

"Oui?"

"That's like a thumbs up for cats."

"Oh, really? So you really do remember your Papa?" Lucien asked Perle and her pupils dilated at the mention of the word.

"Wow, she looks at you like you're the best thing in the world after sliced bread."

"After sliced bread?" Lucien repeated, confused.

"It's an expression, luv'. Sooty boy, come here, that's yours… Good boy…"

"After sliced bread?"

Mundy rolled up his eyes with a smile.

"You've been back for half an hour and you're taking the piss already, eh? C'mere, there!" Mundy shoved a bit of fish in Lucien's mouth.

"Hm?!"

"That'll keep your mouth busy." Mundy opened his mouth to eat some himself but the bit of fish that was between his fingers disappeared.

"Oi?"

Mundy's head swooshed to Lucien who was licking his fingers with the most smug grin.

"Did you just-?"

"I helped myself, oui." Lucien answered with a full mouth while he wiggled his eyebrows.

"Well…" Mundy took another bit of fish but again, it made it to Lucien's mouth, not his. "What?! Let me have some dinner!"

Lucien giggled.

"Come closer." He took a bit of fish and fed it to Mundy.

"Mh… That's nice…" Mundy laid on the ground, using Lucien's lap as a pillow. "Aah…?" He opened his mouth and Lucien chuckled as he fed him some more.

"How is his majesty feeling?" Lucien asked sarcastically.

"Like a bloody king and a half." Mundy answered, closing his eyes. "Aah…?" He opened his mouth again and Lucien put some more food between his lips.

"Mundy?"

"Hm?"

"Have you… met anyone else or…?"

"Pff… What d'you think?" Mundy asked.

"I do not know." Lucien answered. "You might have."

"Course not…"

"Really?"

"Yeah, why? You thought I'd get with someone else?" Mundy's hands slithered to hold Lucien's.

"It has been more than a year."

"Yeah. It was hell…" Mundy squeezed Lucien's hand.

"Exactly."

"But Lu'?"

"Oui?"

"How did you… survive? I mean, Maurice told me they found a dead body with a mask and suit. It matched your built and stuff. I've been to your funeral…!"

"I have been there too."

"What?!"

"I was surprised by the crowd. But it made it easy to go and watch, hiding in plain sight."

"Hold on." Mundy frowned. "You heard what everyone said and stuff?"

"Oui. I heard old military comrades telling tales of the past, I heard Bastien and Victoria, but most importantly, I heard and I saw you." Lucien paused as the cats came to rest against his legs. "I saw how long you stayed there. I was humbled and impressed."

Mundy frowned and looked up at his lover.

"You thought I'd just cry a bit and go? That day I lost my reason to live. With Duchemin dead, I just wanted to spend my days with you, see what we could do and do it together. But you were gone, even though you had promised to stay with me, to fight and live…"

"I am sorry, truly."

"Why did you do that?" Mundy asked. "And how?"

"Why? Because someone from the secret services had to confirm my death and I did not want to make Maurice lie and bear that responsibility."

"What d'you mean?"

"I mean that if I had asked Maurice to lie, I would have asked him to take too big a risk for his own life. I did not want that, so I had to die, for real."

"Hm."

"And I would have, Mundy. That day, I would gladly have blown myself up in that hangar if not for one thing."

"What? Pearl?"

"Non. You." Lucien squeezed Mundy's hand. "As much as I had become your reason to live, you had become my happiness, my oxygen to breathe and the sun that I wake up to."

Mundy smiled sweetly.

"So I decided to cheat death. Now, there are a lot of ways to do it and us spies are used to doing it from time to time. But this time, I couldn't rely on a gadget or a ruse. It had to be real."

"So what did you do?" Mundy asked.

"When I had first checked that hangar while you were putting the explosives on the locks of the felines' cages, I put some C4 charges inside. Then, I walked outside and captured one guard. I knocked him out and stripped him off his clothes before dressing him with my suit and balaclava. I, however, was still wearing the guards uniform but I was as naked as a worm underneath. When we caught Duchemin and when the rest of his goons were banging on the door, I had to put you to safety, hence my asking you to go to the first floor. I then put Duchemin in the middle of the hangar and this extra guard, dressed like me. I gave him my blade, my watch and I trusted you with my cigarette case. I had intended to detonate the C4 that I planted but those idiots, as they blew up the doors, triggered my charges and everything blew up at the same time. I made it out just in time and pretended to be one of the guards. I took a car and while everyone was busy trying to understand what happened, I fled."

Mundy had listened, silently. He frowned.

"So you made it out?"

"I did."

"Christ almighty… And then you disappeared?"

"Before I did, I did ask something of you, if you remember correctly."

"What? When?"

"My last words to you." Lucien said, ruffling Mundy's short hair between his fingers.

"I remember. You said 'Please forgive me.' Oh bugger, you were warnin' me?!" Mundy sat back right up and turned to look at Lucien.

"I was saying goodbye." Lucien lowered his head. "And it has been haunting me ever since."

"Hm. I see."

"I did not expect you to come back in this forest, Mundy."

"Why?"

"I thought that if you love me as much as I do you, you would fall in another ten years of pain. Had the roles been reversed, that's what I would have done."

"I thought I was goin' to do the same, y'know."

Lucien shivered. The temperature started to drop as the sun was slowly passing below the horizon.

"You cold?"

"A bit, oui."

"Let's get inside."

They opened the van and the cats jumped in. Once inside, Lucien took a moment to let his eyes rediscover it.

"You don't have the kukris anymore?" He asked, seeing the wall laying bare without them.

"Nah. I got rid of them, the rifles and everythin'. And I did it for good this time."

Lucien's eyes moved down to the cats.

"Oh, you kept Perle's bed…?"

"Told you, I kept everything. Look at it."

Lucien crouched down and scratched the cats.

"What are they using as a mattress…? Is that…?"

"It's one of your suit jackets."

Lucien's eyebrows jumped.

"I… Back when it was just Pearl and me, we used to sleep in my bed together and she was small enough to… to sleep inside the jacket's pocket. I'd then hug her and the jacket and… Smellin' you helped. Speakin' of, look here." Mundy pointed at the shelf.

"That is my perfume and my shaving foam? You kept them as well?"

"Spray the perfume on the cats' bed for Pearl to sleep and on your jacket here," He grabbed it from his bed. "For me to sleep."

Lucien put a hand on his mouth to cover his shock.

"Mundy, I… I am speechless…"

"Pff, it's not even everything. Look inside my clothes cupboard."

Lucien pulled on the handle and was met with his own clothes neatly folded and organised.

"You wear my suits? They must be too small for you."

"No, my clothes are on the couch, yours are in the cupboard."

Lucien looked at the old sofa, then back at the cupboard as he closed it.

"Mundy… Your clothes have spent more than a year on your sofa?"

He nodded and Lucien put a hand on his head, through his hair. He could hardly believe it.

"I… Why?"

"And your toothbrush's here." Mundy pointed at the glass next to the sink before holding Lucien from his waist.

"Why have you done all this?"

Mundy bent down to put his forehead against Lucien's. He closed his eyes.

"Cause then it feels like I'm just waitin' to see you again."

"Mon Dieu, how much I've missed you…" Lucien shut his eyes and bit his lip.

"Me too, darl'. C'mere, let's go to bed." He kissed Lucien's brow and the Frenchman might have turned into a puddle of softness.

"Mundy, I… I don't have any pyjamas or anything and-"

"I have them." He answered with a smile. "Just look in the cupboard."

"Ah, oui, merci."

They both got a change and not a minute later, they were cuddling under Mundy's blanket.

"I have missed all of you so much…" Lucien repeated as he buried his head in Mundy's neck, breathing in his cheap cologne, his scent.

"Same here… I just… I think I'm still not realising it. Feels like a dream." Mundy answered, one hand on Lucien's lower back, and the other through his hair, behind his ear.

Lucien planted his lips in Mundy's neck and the Aussie clenched his hands.

"Huh… Uh… Love…"

"Sorry. I forgot about my beard. It must sting you."

"N-no, I mean yeah but… Gosh…" Mundy gulped down audibly. "P-please…?"

"What?" Lucien looked up at him.

"D-do it again… Please."

The Frenchman closed his eyes and kissed Mundy's neck again.

"Oh, Gosh…"

Hearing how much Mundy liked it, Lucien let himself go. His lips travelled in Mundy's neck, nipping and kissing, up to his ear and he playfully bit the shell of it.

"Oh my God…" Mundy's hands were twitching on their own. "Y-your beard…"

"What about it?" Lucien peppered kisses on Mundy's cheek and ended up straddling him.

The Aussie opened his eyes and saw Lucien on top of him, his long hair flowing down to him.

"I love it. And your hair too. Y-you look gorgeous… Even more than before, I mean…"

"And I like your short hair. It suits you." Lucien lay on Mundy's body and the Aussie wrapped his arms around him.

"Lu'?"

"Hm?"

"I love you."

Lucien smiled against Mundy's upper chest, below his jaw.

"I love you too, mon loup."

[my wolf]

Silence fell in the dark van.

"Lu'?"

"Oui?"

"C-can I…? Uh…"

"Oui."

"But you don't know what I wanted to say?"

"I do not mind. Whatever you wanted to do to me, please do it."

"No, luv', I gotta ask first."

"Non."

"What if you don't want it?"

"It comes from you, so I want it. Besides, I like surprises. So please, go ahead."

Mundy sighed and yielded.

"Right…"

Lucien felt Mundy's hands slither slowly down his back, brushing and massaging their way down on the satin pyjamas.

"Y-you sure?"

"Please." Lucien now had a pretty good idea of what was to come and his heart beat faster in anticipation.

Mundy's hands slid below his back and squeezed.

"Oh… Mon Dieu…" Lucien buried his head down against Mundy's shoulder.

"Is that ok?"

The moan that Lucien made was more than a clear answer, and Mundy's ears melted under it. His hands continued to knead, his fingers opened and clawed in the softness, where Lucien hadn't been touched in more than a year now. Oh he had forgotten it, the touch of foreign hands on his body, in parts that were hardly explored. Gosh, he loved it.

Lucien held on to Mundy's chest and the Aussie continued to lazily hold what he had been wanting to hold for a long, long time. He squeezed firmly and Lucien bit Mundy's shoulder, moaning with an open mouth. Mundy couldn't hold it back anymore and moaned in return. He couldn't see it but Lucien rolled his eyes in bliss under the Aussie's growl.

"I love you, Lu'... I don't know how to say it, but I love you…"

"Mundy, Mundy, Mundy… I… I cannot get enough of you…"

Lucien pushed himself up on Mundy's chest and went straight for his lips. The Aussie's hands grasped firmly again and Lucien moaned in his mouth. Mundy drank his song of pleasure like a delicacy and felt his hair fall and brush his face.

"Love ya…"

The L made Mundy lap at Lucien's lip. That was all the ex-spy needed. A sign, a clue, an invitation.

He added the French to the kiss.

TW Script liveblog - Season 1 Episode 1: Wolf Moon

Or, as it is otherwise known:

Teen Wolf Scripts!

Check it out, Wolfiends. This is a loooooong post consisting of screenshots of the Teen Wolf script alongside my own rambling commentary. I'm not here to review the show; finer minds than myself have got that covered. Nor is it a photo-recap; that has been done by crazier bastards than myself. What I am here for is scraping the bottom of the barrel so hard I'm eating splinters, give me that Teenage Lupine content, give me ALL OF THE CONTENT--

*ahem*

Excerpts have been selected based on the following criteria: 1) It did not make the final cut; 2) It substantially altered; 3) It offers extra detail not apparent from the show, such as description and direction; and 4) I felt like including it.

Fun times (and, obviously, a hell of a lot of spoilers) below the cut.

(What the heckie do these colours mean? We may never know)

So let's get started.

Answering the real questions here: Scott's shirtlessness was script mandated, not just a case of Posey being slightly allergic to clothes. Let's all take a moment to think about Scott's lithe frame and then go to jail reminisce over how it felt when we had no idea what he would come to mean to us. Sigh.

Aaaaand paydirt! Here is a lovely little scene we never saw on screen.

Doesn't really tell us anything we didn't learn soon enough, but any McCall family time is time well spent. And I'm not sorry they deleted the casual clumsiness from Scott's intro, so I can keep my headcanon that he had mad lacrosse skills from all his practising but just couldn't play due to asthma.

A wild Stiles appears!

And it is the perfect intro to his character, easy to see why they didn't change a thing. DOB nailed it.

Before long, we are introduced to--

-- Wait, hold up, who? Looks like Stiles's dad got a promotion sometime between "Double Buff" and filming. Congrats, John Michael Noah!

Seriously, though, consider the extra layer of politics and secrecy that would have been going on if he was just a deputy rather than Sheriff. What a different show it would have been, especially in later seasons.

WHY, JEFF DAVIS? WHY ARE YOU COMMENTING ON THE ‘BEAUTY’ OF A GHASTLY SEVERED CORPSE? HOW IS THIS WOMAN'S ATTRACTIVENESS OR OTHERWISE RELEVANT TO THE SITUATION? DID SCOTT PAUSE MID-PANIC TO THINK "WOW SHE IS HOT (ALSO DEAD AND BISECTED)"? /end rant

But now it's time for--

--and that means

Back to school time!

Setting the scene. Californians, is this a fair representation of your high school experience? Asking for research purposes.

Also, petition for girls and girls also to be able to hold hands. Down with the patriarchy.

It's everyone's favourite juice enthusiast! Looks like the Sheriff wasn't the only one who moved up in the world over the course of the script revision process - Jackson only had a BMW here instead of his Porsche.

As with Stiles's intro, we achieve Peak Jackson in his very first scene:

*snort*

And while we're doing intros--

But wait, this is a game changer -- you think you know how it does, right? Breezing past Stiles as if he wasn't even there, completely ignoring him? Well THINK AGAIN!

Yeah I lied.

So this is new - Scott's hearing was going to be much stronger here, perceiving the caller's voice as well from that distance! What secrets shall be revealed from the other half of this conversation?

Huh. Yeah, that contributed nothing, and would have had absurd implications for werewolf hearing. Also would have been a totally banal first glimpse of Victoria Argent, which is just unacceptable.

Did this happen? I don't recall it. Would have been a cool shot.

*Curiosity is piqued*

I confuse. Is this an editing fail? Two versions of the scene that got smooshed together? Or does Lydia swoop twice (possible Banshee prefiguring)?

I like the book-spilling version. It establishes Allison as kind.

But this bit --

-- I do not like. It seems to suggest that there was always something about Allison that helped Scott control his shift, or even suppressed it? Rather than it being his feelings for her that reminded him of his humanity and strengthened his will. Nopity nope.

Now for another intro:

It's Harley!

Yeah, I didn’t know either. I guess she got shafted for some reason…which is a pity, because the girl has got snark.

SHOTS FIRED.

Meanwhile…is Harley into Scott? Were we going to have a triangle of luuurve? Not sorry we didn't, triangles are an overrated romantical shape (unless they're equilateral ones, but for some reason teen shows are all about the isosceles and I am over it), but Harley could have been an actual character. RIP, girl I could have liked.

Also RIP Harley's heart, because

Thus far we have had character intros that were Peak Stiles, Peak Jackson and Peak Lydia ('s queen bitch façade). Now we have one that is a massive understatement:

Oh, sweet summer children. We ain't seen nothing yet.

Do you sometimes forget how mutually toxic Lydia and Jackson's relationship was? Ugh.

Excellent priorities, Scott. But so far so canon.

A FIGURE

Who's it gonna be, ohmigosh mysterious figure--

Ohmigosh, is it--

*ahem* sorry

Okay I think I'm beginning to understand why we absolutely had to know about the ravishing beauty of corpse-lady: Jeff Davis is simply incapable of giving a description of anyone without reminding us how attractive they are. HEY EVERYONE! THIS IS A SHOW FOR HOT PEOPLE! EYE CANDY OVER HERE!

…waitaminute, back the truck up.

WhaaAAAAAT?

*thinking forward to skeevy Kate plotline, Hale fire was 6 years ago, runnin' the numbers, doin' the math*

19 minus 6 equals …KATE you EFFING PEDO GET in the BIN RIGHT NOW--

--nah just kidding, they obviously decided to age him up sometime after this edit. Also, as has been observed, Jeff Davis inhabits a world blissfully innocent of such things as calendars.

Now I hope I have sufficiently distracted my audience with squicks and figures, because I want to sneak this one through without getting crucified.

Okay we're done here, on to--

Really, there's nothing--

One million hardcore Sterek shippers: *collectively lose their shit*

One innocent liveblogger: *hides*

All twelve Scerek shippers: *are validated*

Someone sensible: It's just one line of direction in a first meeting, it doesn't mean--

One desperate liveblogger: OKAY, MOVING ON

This is such a great scene -- the terror of all those panicking cats, Scott wanting to calm them but, realising he is the problem, freaks out himself -- and it just got even better, because there's something missing here that we saw on-screen.

While it could have come in a later revision, I choose to believe that singing "hey, kitties!" in greeting was just Tyler Posey's natural instinct upon walking into a room full of feline friends.

But now Allison is here, and Scott has passed off the panic baton to her.

Woooo Scott is getting his wolf on! But he doesn't seem to know it yet. I wonder from whose perspective Scott's calm is supposed to be 'odd', because I wouldn't have expected him to get worked up about an injured dog given his job. And how many wolves has Jeff Davis met? I don't think their eyes typically glow, outside of tapetum lucidum reflections. But what do I know, I'm not a zoologist.

Also -- they were supposed to have an umbrella? Budget cuts are brutal.

Do you ever forget how adorable Scallison were before things got complicated? Can I get an "Awww"?

It's also nice that they gave Allison reasons to be interested in Scott beyond 'he's cute' and 'he noticed me'. She admires him for his competence and gentleness here, she's seen him excelling at sports without being a douche about it, and their first interaction was one of generosity. This is why it's disappointing that they cut the bit where Allison helps a stranger with her books -- it's a pity they didn't show us Scott's reasons for liking Allison beyond 'she's pretty'. A sadly typical imbalance in Hollywood: boys are admirable for what they do, girls for how they look. Thank all the gods and little fishes that Allison subverts the hell out of this trope later on.

Is this or is this not the cutest interaction? It gets better:

Cats are one thing, Scotty, but you gotta think about your choices when dogs are judging you.

Now who’s being judgemental

'Litigious', Scott? And before the word-a-day calendar regime, too. Insert comment about American litigation culture here.

Scott is definitely talking about the dog not at all about himself why would you say that--

Okay so Scott's having his weird woodsy sleepwalking dream now, and I have to go back and check because -- white? Why are the Alpha's eyes white? Sure enough:

Did they retcon the Alpha red eyes thing after the Pilot/Wolf Moon was shot Even in the earlier scene where Scott was bitten:

White eyes. What gives, Jeff?

While we're here, let's just take a second to appreciate Peter the Cartoon CGI Gorilla-Wolf. LOL.

Get back to the scripts woman, the photo recap thing has been covered, stay in your lane

AWKWARD. Anyway that's the same as in canon, but I initially read that as 'mysterious smile' and freaked because was that pool owner person supposed to be significant??, but no, never mind, carry on.

Meanwhile, this ep is just FULL of iconic moments.

All together now,

*sighs happily*

Was it as good for you as it was for me?

Later, at the lacrosse scrimmage:

I checked the episode, and…nope. No Derek stalking around on the field in this scene. That we saw.

Oh good, we hadn't seen a naked torso in a while, I was starting to worry

Who can get enough of Melissa--Scott moments? Not me, that's for sure. But wait--

Voices becoming TINNY what is happening

Someone's creeping

*sings* ‘Who can it BEEE no-ow?’

*snort*

In other news, Jackson is not the only one who got a vehicular upgrade. I don’t know enough about cars to discern the mystical significance of these changes. Experts please?

Ah, can't believe they cut this! Is he just embarrassed to have an inhaler in front of Allison, or does he realise on some level that his asthmatic days are over?

Oh yikes, is this another scene of which we were ROBBED? I want my absolute and agonizing awkward teen silence!

ROBBED, I say! Robbed of canon confirmation of Scott's dorky music taste!

Awww.

I liked Scallison well enough, but if these scenes had been included I would have been 200% sold on it from ep 1.

Confused Scydia moment! I wonder if Lydia greeted Stiles like that too, and if so how hard he flailed.

Harley again! In the version that made it to screen she and Stiles both ask Scott if he's okay. That girl should have stayed a character. *grumpy face*

"Deep black eyes"? "Strangely hypnotic"? Preeeeetty sure he was just standing there with his regular (insanely pretty) ambiguously green-hazel eyes; and while that was a fair attempt at a charming smile (for Derek), "hypnotic" it wasn't.

That would have been a cool visual.

“Powerfully muscular”; “strangely seductive”; “He's given into it”

I'll tell you who's into it, Jeff Davis is into it And you know what?

So am I.

*Curiosity intensifies*

A nice little moment of realisation we never got to see

This is changed up a bit -- in the show the dialogue comes before the wrestling, there's no throat-gripping (Derek holds Scott down with a hand on his chest), and we have yet to see those shiny blue eyes.

Also, demonic. *shivers*

That's interesting - obviously was going to be more support to the false lead of Derek being the Alpha, but they walked it back.

A bit of added urgency here

"Steps out of the darkness" -- from what we saw, Derek was just standing there next to Scott, no added drama. Add this to the 'hypnotic deep black eyes' we never saw -- can it be that the creeper-wolf that graced our screens was actually the less spooky version??

I guess they forgot to talk to the sun’s manager about their filming schedule.

Well that answers my question about how Stiles knew where to find Scott. Sort of.

Also: Aaaaaaaangst.

Aww, my heart. The bromance.

I love how it's "instantly recognisable," but in the final cut they can’t help throwing in a flashback to all of three minutes ago just to make sure we recognise him. Thanks for the vote of confidence, Teen Wolf.

Yes, apparently that is Chris Argent's idea of a 'friendly smile'.

Also, sworn enemy. Lol.

Great ending to a great pilot episode! And what extra-delicious and not-at-all mouth-perforating splinters of teeny wolfy goodness does our script-reading scrape up for us?

Well, we have extra delightful domestic scenes with the McCalls; extra adorable baby flirting between our star-crossed lovers (not that they know the heavens hate them yet, shhh); a wonderful character who could have been in Harley (will she show up more in future scripts? At what point did they decide to consign her to the trash can of oblivion? Or did she just disappear because she realised she had no chance with Scott now that Allison is here?); and honestly, it ws worth it for Jackson’s favourite word alone.

But clearly the most important thing we leaned from the Teen Wolf Pilot script (Double Buff edition) is that the

we know and love is NOT, in fact, the creepiest, most melodramatic, most stalkerish version of himself. He could have been worse. Watching Scott at practice earlier than we knew eavesdropping on him shirtlessly discussing sex with him mum, using strangely hypontic deep black eyes on unsuspecting teenage girls, emerging theatrically from the shadows -- just imagine, if he'd been behaving like that from the get-go, no way would Scott have trusted him. Good job toning it down, Jeff Davis!

Exeunt.

snow white + prince cursing. jiang cheng and wen ning fix it post canon au

WEN NING TAKING A BLOW TO THE CHEST FOR JIN LING N JC TAKING AN ARROWN TO THE HEART FOR WEN NING LMAO

ssyifpfff🌙 i dig it, havent thot much of it tho

May 16 ssyifpfff🌙 but the idea of wen ning trailing behing sizhui and jc trailing behing jin ling n thm meeting while they keep their respective babies safe os *kisses filgers* DOLCE

May 16 i feel like a whole 4th eye of mine opened to that... but my mind probably wont be able to focus much. i hate how i can only hyperfixate in one or two ships at time

ISNT IT SO DOLCE? FORTÍSSIMO!

yeeting patriarch jiang cheng's hostility decreasing as they kept meeting...

yeeting patriarch perhaps wn and jc could get my ass more than jc with huaisang !?

but nothing will ever get ur ass more thn jc/happiness will it

jiang cheng n huaisang is v Aesthethic bc huaisang is a pretty pretty hoe

ssyifpfff🌙 bUT W WEN NING THERES A LOT OF ANGST

May 16 jc + happiness is all that matters

but... the sweet angst road of wn and jc...

yeeting patriarch IT CAN AND IT WILL LEAD TO HAPPINESS !?

and yea the Appeal of jc ano nhs is that huaisang is Very Pretty plus his scheming charm. but we arent given much canon background to work on this. not that it matters, lord knows we built the content when we really want to make anything

but The Flavor, of the canon background content for jc and wn Is There And It's Stronf

yeeting patriarch nevermind what i said im already ass deep into it. i love both jc and wn way too much, the appeal got me immediately

ssyifpfff🌙 ALSO BC WUXIAN DITCHED BOTH OF THEM FOR THT WANGJI D LMAO

May 16 ssyifpfff🌙 them bonding over how dumb wuxian would act "he would float in the water n pretend he drowned" "yea he told a-yuan he needed to be buried in order to grow big n tall like a raddish" they look at each other n want to laugh but jc doenst know if hes comfortable enough for tht n wn doenst know if hes allowed to

May 16 yeeting patriarch REPRESSED DUMB BABIES LAUGH TO UR HEARTS CONTENTS TOGETHER :(((((

but oh god, the way jiang cheng is,

their road would be So Long

yeeting patriarch another slow burn, uh...

and then so much confusion and conflicted angsty feelings along the way when everything is better because jc was almost forgetting that..........wen ning is dead :) hes a corpse. what future awaits them. this is terrifying

yeeting patriarch ...why cant i have anything nice and just soft. i need to throw angst in or i die?

ssyifpfff🌙 its awful its a terrible idea to ship tht what r u doin

May 16 ssyifpfff🌙 but wen ning being a pure boy, dogs would love him, dogs would gather around him bc he has a Good Aura, n jianc cheng just observes from afar thinkin How can he be so approachable whn hes a fierce corpse

May 16 ssyifpfff🌙 like it would have to start w jc thinkin wen ning is less thn a human u understand

May 16 yeeting patriarch

ssyifpfff🌙 SAJGDASDF

May 16 IM CRYING imagine one day jiang cheng finds wen ning, on the floor, on top of him there are like four different dogs all swaying their tails all that hyper bullshit dogs do.

the incident repeats quite a few times

yeeting patriarch jc notices dogs are drawn to wen ning?

ssyifpfff🌙 he notices MAYBE?? hes not a dangerous zombie after all???

May 16 he lets it slip and asks how wuxian reacted to it

as wwx is terrified of dogs

and wen ning is like. where we... spent most of our time... there were no dogs

(awkward silence timel

ah. ruined it again.

okay 2 take

when they're on those night hunts, wen ning + sizhui & jiang cheng + jin ling

fairy starts being Too Friendly towards wen ning

both jiang cheng and jin ling were initially taken aback by it

yeeting patriarch but as the time goes on... it Softens their heart

ssyifpfff🌙 iT MAKES SO MUCH SENSE BC FAIRY IS A SPIRITUAL DOG N IT WOULDNT NVR BE FRIENDLY TO AN EVIL GHOUL SO IT RLY MAKES THM SEE THT WEN NING ISNT A BAD GUY

May 16 ssyifpfff🌙 also take 2 on tht dog thing, wen ning is like "ah wei wuxian made me chase any dogs away, i quite like dogs but i had to" to remind jc of the puppies he had to give away bc of wwx lmao :)

May 16 yeeting patriarch THEY START REALIZING WEN NING IS THE PUREST ANGEL... and opening up, in their tsun ways, with him

yeeting patriarch i like how the canon wen ning art is him with a ginger cat, but for the sake of jiangning we made him a dog person

i honestly picture him being the snow white os mdzs, just all animals gathering around him

bird perching on his shoulders, deer eating from his hands. jiang cheng confused af

hes Prince Not Charming

ssyifpfff🌙 Prince Cursing, if u will

May 16 yeeting patriarch WEN NING SNOW WHITE OF MDZS AND HIS PRINCE CURSING JIANG CHENG IM YELLINGGFFKDJSKSK

yeeting patriarch jiang cheng going thru the trees and shit then he finds wen ning all surrounded by all animals cutely around him, the birds singing, some squirrels on the top of his head, a butterfly kissing his nose and suddenly the scene seem to have 💖Sparkles 💖 around. jiang cheng is like *rubs his eye and looks again* What

ssyifpfff🌙 "hey you... you have some animals on you" n wen ning was just super still he only focuses on jc "Oh yes. they do this sometimes. its ok i enjoy it"

May 16 ssyifpfff🌙 "everytime i wake up theres a few little ones on me, they must think im a rock or something" jiang cheng, internally, seein all the animals: CLEARLY THEY ENJOY IT TOO???

May 16 yeeting patriarch JIANG CHENG MACHINE BROKE

ssyifpfff🌙 MEAN JIANG CHENG.EXE STOPPED WORKING

May 16 PRECISELY HENSKLDGSKLS

i would like the idea of, somewhere farther into the future,

some cultivator bitch being mean to wen ning and by instinct jiang cheng ends up standing for wen 5

wen ning*

but then hes a sect leader and...

yknow how it wouldnt work

yeeting patriarch BUT A NYARI CAN DREAM!?

THEY CAN AT LEAST BE ... LIKE.... PHILTATOS

ssyifpfff🌙 MOST BELOVED

May 17 jiang cheng has responsibilities but thEY CAN BE LIKE YOU KNOW.... CASUAL

ssyifpfff🌙 they dont gotta marry. not every couple can be wangxian

May 17 PHILTATOSSSSSSSS

tbh im all in for casual couples too

yeeting patriarch not everyone needs or can have Marriage

hmmmmmm the more jc starts seeing The Light in wn, when they're at the middle of the road,

yeeting patriarch more tangled his emotions get?

he was supposed to LOATHE wen ning but then he sees what happened wasnt wen nings fault. hes angry, who to blame then? wuxian! but it also isnt entirely wwx's fault he lost the control, the dark cultivation is a dangerous path after all... and wwx had a lot on his shoulders... and most of all: it was the only path he could follow without his golden core :) the very golden core that now resides inside jc. who should he blame? who should he hate?? Himself???

yeeting patriarch goddammit can i stop with the suffering

me: snow white au hehe you, chaotic bastard: what if jiang cheng hated himself lmao

i hate specifically tht iT MAKES SENSE

ssyifpfff🌙 HE SPENT. OVER A DECADE BLAMING WEN NING N WUXIAN N TO REALIZE HE WAS WRONG, HE WASTED ALL THOSE YEARS. WHOS HE GONNA TURN THT HATE TOWARD??? HIMSELF OFC!!!!! OF COURSE!!!!!!1

May 17 HOLD UP THAT I GRAB BOTH OF US TO JUMP INTO THE HELL HOLE BUT I CAN ALSO SAVE US

listen up,

one day all those feelings that keep growing and bottling up inside jc overflow and he explodes in yelling and tears and etc

wen ning, whom was with him, witness all that

yeeting patriarch and tries to soothe his state of mind

yeeting patriarch telling him that it's no one's fault. none of them couldve known what would happen. all sides had their good intentions here and there, but unfortunately fates can twist it in a way they never expected

BUT THEN jc returns with an "then why do u look like u blame yourself as well?" BECAUSE WEN NING DOES

yeeting patriarch sorry apparently the half brain cell i have working, only does suffering hours

"THEN WHY DO U BLAME URSELF"

nyari u sAID U COULD SAVE US

ssyifpfff🌙 wen ning is like "..............." jiang cheng: i know it wasnt anyones fault but then what am i supposed to feel? who am i supposed to hate??"

May 17 yeeting patriarch IM LAUGHINGS O MUCH IM NOT BRSTJINENSKS

wen ning is like No one. there isnt any1 to blame anymore

ssyifpfff🌙 im franctically tryin to make it bETTER NYARI LEND ME A HAND DAM IT

May 17

MY THROAT HURTS IM TOO BROKE LIKE (MANIC LAUGHTER)

yeeting patriarch okay lemme get myself back together and try to offer some fix it

yeeting patriarch me: *shaking, weakly offering a tiny ass pink hello kitty band aid* This Will Fix Everything (the hell hole im offering the band aid for is like 17cm)

yeeting patriarch wen ning goes confident mode again and says that he cant help it as much jc and wwx, all of them will feel guilty no matter what anyone says. they tried their best but it backfired and they will need, they have to, learn how to live in terms with it. not forgetting, but still forgiving themselves and each other

wen ning obv has the wisdom of some1 who has died, seen death, been death, and come back to life

he has an appreciation for the little things no others would have

if any1 could emotionally guide jc it wOULD BE HIM1!

ssyifpfff🌙 "i have regrets too, but theres no choice for any of us but to live w them n learn"

May 17 ssyifpfff🌙 ALSO

May 17 ssyifpfff🌙 i think wen nings sensibility woULD BE SO GOOD FOR JC, hes always tense he needs a break of him just being so still tht birds can perch on his shoulders

May 17

WEN NINGGGGGGGGG

yeeting patriarch he'll literally become jc's heaven sent angel... his solace and calm

like, after that breakdown and the things wen ning said

yeeting patriarch jiang cheng actually does feel... Lighter

wen ning boutta be jiang chengs therapist

ssyifpfff🌙 its what he needs

May 17 but as jiang cheng starts dealing better with his internal demons

he starts seeing more too that wen ning isnt only light

wen ning carries his pain too, inevitably

and jc starts to help wn as well

yeeting patriarch each other's company start being the healing they needed?

woke

ssyifpfff🌙 jiang cheng teached wn confidence and wen ning teaches jiang cheng stillness and softness

May 17 i teared up here

after The Wen Ning Effect, and jiang cheng softening. people of his sect start to be... less afraid of him? AND BETTER, the respect level only grows!

jiang cheng realizing there is strength in softness too

that to be tender doesnt mean to be weak

of course his actions arent Oh, Super Obvious as he is a tsun

yeeting patriarch but u can feel The Difference on his aura

YOU HAVE TO BE SOFT TO BE STRONG JIANG CHENG

ASKJDAJSDGF

ssyifpfff🌙 I KNOW THAT WHEN LOVE IS LOST..............

May 17 yeeting patriarch I LOVE HOW IN SYNC WE ARE MY MIND ALSO WENT SOFT TO BE STRONF .MP3

ssyifpfff🌙 WE'VE KNOWN IT ALL ALONG THE TRUTH IS............ YOU HAVE TO BE S

May 17 yeeting patriarch ME, ON THE FLOOR, SOBBING, SINGING ALONF,

ssyifpfff🌙 EXTREME MOOD RN

May 17 yeeting patriarch we did done it again and again... i cannot believe it

honestly if the ppl in his sect see tht jc has the ghost general over for tea they'd be like Wow sect leader cheng rly is amazing

ssyifpfff🌙 hes so fearless

May 17 im tearing up again

HMMMMMMMMM his relationship with wen ning also being a bridge for some fixing for his relationship with wuxian...........

takes so much time and it's slow

but

after he took it all in, and especially wen nings words that he shouldn't forget to forgive, and has to live with it

he starts Understanding the events. that is was inevitable. and that the anger would not help nor be good for any of them

yeeting patriarch that for the ones around them (like jin ling) they need to... overcome it

*sobbing* wen ning even helping him to overcome his inferiority complex !?

yeeting patriarch making jc see that this and this sides of him are greater and make up for this and this other ones. that he, too, was of vital importance on here and there

tht the ppl around him look up to him, tht they dont compare him to wuxian, tht the strenght he has shown isnt just coming from his golden core but from his choices as well

from his leadership

also jiang cheng realizing yanli wouldnt want him to hate

ssyifpfff🌙 the worst part abt yanlis death is tht we dont ever hear her last words

May 17 ssyifpfff🌙 she doesnt get to finish sayin thm, we dont know what she was gonna say to wuxian n i firmly believe tht if she has finished n she had said she didint blame him, thn jiang cheng wouldnt have been as hung up on hate as he was

May 17 yeeting patriarch

yeeting patriarch tbh yanli... she just Understood more. faster than the two dense dumbasses

SHE WAS SO BRIGHT

AND MATURE

ssyifpfff🌙 I MISS HER EVERYDAY

May 17 and it's like. Obvious she wouldnt want them to be that way. she would want them to understand the terms of the situation and overcome it TOGETHER

IM SO SAD SHE DESERVED BETTER :(((

but after jiang cheng learns how to deals with his demons,

and most important of all: Grows (emotionally)

he starts seeing things a bit more like his sister would

yeeting patriarch WWYLD (What Would YanLi Do)

yeeting patriarch hmm now what's left is his daddy issues

WWYLD!!!!!

sadasdfsf the fuck jiang dad

ssyifpfff🌙 can u believ wen ning is jiang chengs love+fear era

May 17 hmmmmmmmm let's say that as he watches himself raise jin ling he starts to understand his dad couldn't be easy on him. and that he Had To be softer on wwx's for his situations

i cant go deeper on this one because his dad messed up

yeeting patriarch but let's say that was really the case,

ssyifpfff🌙 yes theres no excuse for his dad, he had a soft spot for wwx n his favoritism showed

May 17 ssyifpfff🌙 its more like, its important for jc to Know it doesnt matter, he grew up to be a good leader n tht proved his dad wrong

May 17 IT'S HARD TO FIND A SITUATION OUT OF HIS DAD REASONS he messed up

BUT!!! YES!!!!!!!

learn to let go of those feelings towards his dad

yeeting patriarch and the day it finally fully clicked inside him that he became an amazing sect leader, he proved it

it's also important that he could realize having wwx golden core inside him means as if wwx really kept his promise

he stayed by his side

yeeting patriarch a very important piece of wwx will always be with him
