Too Many Beds

A Robinwest ficklit clean, on ao3

In the darkness, she walked down the hall. Too many options, none feeling quite right.

She passed the door, the bed, of the people who raised her. When she was little, before John kept making excuses to be away, before Penny and Will, she used to curl up between them, mom's slim arm and dad's heavy one linking across her to the body of the other, creating a securing X, hugs, love radiating around her in their bed. Though she was an adult, she was grown, this trip had forced them all to grow, but it also grew them closer together, and so where before she had been dying to break free, to experience things for herself...and get away... now that it was over, she had to admit there was something to be said for being together. Some times, like tonight, you just need the comfort of another body next to yours. To know you're not alone, to have the ebbing rhythm of another guide your own. Feel the love radiating.

She walked on, peeking in on Penny, crystal blue and indigo tinting the room, tinting the mess of copper flames on her pillow. Copper hair that used to fill her mouth and tickle her nose, teddybear-like Penny snoring softly in her arms, Judy feeling every bit the protector role of an older sister on those nights a bad dream would send Penny slipping into her bed.

But tonight Penny was peaceful.

She closed the door, walking further down the hall, quiet voices floating thin through the house. There were three doors, three beds, left. Judy stopped just outside the next, loose fist halting mid-knock. On the other side Will talked endlessly with Robot. Restless conversation, endless solutions, breaking against the wood, fractured bits reminding her of when Will would wake her up with starving curiosity, and she'd gently lull him back to sleep with satiating possibilities.

This bed was too busy, too full already.

She comes to the open door she'd first left, the full bed empty, dark and icy in it's solitude. Tonight she needed the company of another, her body needing the calming cues drawn out from one pressed to hers...and quietly she pads away from it, to one last open door.

There's not a sound and the walls are bathed in darkness, Space seeping in. If it weren't for the ribbon of moonlight casting jet strands silver, she wouldn't know if the bed was vacant or not.

It's not.

Hand on the white frame, she watches Don from outside, unmoving. Should she? Would she be welcome? This was a terrible idea-

But then, who understood better? Who had reached out to her and reached in to her and who could she always, implicitly, depend on that wasn't family? That she could depend on immediately? That was there for her... immediately.

But this was different. There was no danger, no threat. There was only the threat of a sleepless night until her body remembered what it was to slow, and deepen, and drift. She wouldn't wake him for that. And so she drifts, body turning back down the hall.

"Doc?"

His room was too far down for it to have been an accident, Judy intentionally seeking him out, but changing her mind.

She stops, head turning back, but hearing more than seeing him move.

"Jude" He's quiet. Don West, quiet. His words like a curled finger brushing down her arm.

Her eyes close and her breath stills, biting her lip, all of it reversing as she turns to him.

"Don. I couldn't sleep."

"Commere." She makes out his figure, Don on his side, head propped in hand, the other lifting the covers, welcoming her.

"The ice?" "No," Judy shakes her head, sliding in beside him, Don rolling onto his back, "just...can't sleep." His arm, his hand, is warm and snug around her, pulling her close, securing her, and her head, without thinking, finds a place on his chest.

If she were thinking about it, she'd think about how natural, how easy this is, being with Don. But she isn't really thinking about anything because her breath, like her pulse, has started to match his, slowing, deepening, and his fingers are strumming a soothing lullaby, and his chest is rumbling shallow to her ear as he talks about his day and she feels safe, protected in his hold, and there's love radiating warm around them. And all she thinks is; so many beds to choose from, but this one felt just right.

“I LOVE THE FOUND FAMILY TROPE!!”

Going to be specific but the decision to make Goldilocks and the Three Bears a genuine family is one of the greatest fairy tale twists I’ve ever seen and will die on this hill.

The habitable area of a solar system is called "the Goldilocks Zone" by astronomers because we're gonna wait til the aliens leave, then break in and use all their stuff.

Mav looks at Charlie who's 5 years older than him.

Mav: Nope, this is too old for me.

Mav looks at Ice who's 3 years older than him.

Mav: Yep, this is just right for me!

Working on what I'm going to do after Mangst 2024 finishes up, mostly because as I do these, I'm developing the world for The New Eden Institution more. Poll first, context underneath.

(Okay to reblog to increase voting pool)

Basically, I'm trying to figure out more male whumpees for the New Eden Institution series. Most fairy tales have female MCs, at least the well-known ones. I considered adding Snow White to this list, but I have a mild plan with a female whumpee there, so I'll keep it that way.

While looking at these, I found others that I may keep male or change to female, but curious on this for now.

-

Current potentials for these:

Goldilocks- orphan who ends up turned in by one of the families they break into the home of; they're just going after homes where the families are supposed to be on vacation to have a decent place to sleep for the night; turned into the Institution

Bluebeard- buyer of omegas who's abusive and kills them when he's bored of them; MC ends up contacted by the investigation shutting down the New Eden system (they were also bought from the Institution)

Maid Maleen- similar to the Swan Lake and Rapunzel stories I have, though their 100%* isolation is because their parent is trying to protect them and their sibling (adopted, step, half, or full); ends up failing and Maleen character in Institution while sibling is bought (ends up being a mix-up; soulmate thought sibling was Maleen because it was a soulmark purchase; whumper thought Maleen was sibling and kept them on purpose)

Thousandfurs- whumpee nearly abused by father; runs away and ends up kidnapped from the streets and put into the Institution; one of Robin's escapees maybe

Sleeping Beauty- whumpee has Sleeping Beauty syndrome and their whumper takes advantage of that

-

Again, just potentials. But I'm curious what people think, mostly to gain more ideas if nothing comes of these at all.

A lot of what I'm coming up with for the whumpees that are bought or just plain kidnapped is very much influenced by BBU stories I've read in the whump community.

Ganondorf, reading a bedtime story to his kids: And the moral of Goldilocks is: if you can outrun two fully grown grizzly bears and their cub you can get away with whatever crimes you want.

"The Story of the Three Bears", by Flora Annie Steel.

"One day, after they had made the porridge for their breakfast, and poured it into their porridge-bowls, they walked out into the wood while the porridge was cooling, that they might not burn their mouths by beginning too soon, for they were polite, well-brought-up Bears.", from The Story of the Three Bears.

"Now the window was open, because the Bears, like good, tidy Bears, as they were, always opened their bedchamber window when they got up in the morning. So naughty, frightened little Goldilocks jumped.", from The Story of the Three Bears.
