Terrible elody Gerard drabble
Elody placed her glass on the table, laughing a bit at Gerard's joke.
"You and Tom got real close over the years huh? " it hadn't been that long. But still.
"Yeah- he's like my best friend at this point" He shrugged. Taking a sip of his wine.
"Your only one." Elody said with a snicker. That got a cough and a returned snicker from the frog prince. He choked down a ribbit as he motioned towards the other.
"Well you're my friend!"
"I'm your ex wife Gerard"
"And I love you for it" Elody couldn't help but choke on her own wine when Gerard decided to add a wink to puncate. A terrible joke and terrible move. She sat down. Crumpling a bit in her seat and her jammies. In explicit contrast to Gerard's formal dress and perfect posture, Elody couldn't be bothered to change out of her Pajama pants and the world's most worn out tee-shirt.
"I love you too Gerard but Jesus christ- I Mean I suppose there is Ylfa. How is she by the way? I haven't visited her in a while..." Gerard stared at Elody. Brows raised. Raising his hand he made a `hurry on with it` motion. Which got a smile from Elody.
"She ask out Pinocchio yet? " Gerard Almost inhaled the rest of his drink before he sighed. Placing down the empty cup. Frustration and the demeanor of a tired dad could not be a more present force in this moment.
"She hasn't! And that's the most frustrating part! She's gonna be 16 this year, when is she going to ask that boy out!" Elody couldn't help but laugh yet again. It hadn't been very long since- what happened did happen. But age was already creeping up on the both of them. Grey hairs littered both their heads, and wrinkles a plenty. But those were mostly stress wrinkles.
"Don't bust a vein Gerard. Remember how long it took you to ask me out? " he hummed. Brows unfurrowing a bit.
"To be fair we are divorced. "
"And I do still love you after all this time" the sword of truth glowed behind Elody
"Yeah yeah- love you aswell" it glowed again.
"But I distinctly remember that when I asked you out? It was a disaster. I was stumbling. And could not stop- fucking croaking. I was slimey and all sweaty and- and I think I had fly guts on my face? "
"I thought it was weird. "
"It was very weird! I'm surprised you didn't get warts from kissing me. "
"Skincare Gerard, skincare"
"I literally had a whole vanity mirror Elody-"
Elody nodded again. That was true. But...
"I was a teenage girl with anxiety. Checkmate. "
"I- god damnit I'm not winning this am I? "
"No Gerard. No you arent. "
She got up. Grabbing the sword of truth and pointing it at Gerard.
"Gerard Greenleigh, should Listen to his super awesome friend and give those two some space to bloom"
It glowed intensely. Elody grinned at that.
"Yeah yeah, you got me, now Sword of truth, I should get another drink for having to put up with those two right? "
It didn't glow. Gerard frowned. Reaching out for Elodys glass, his fingers just grazing it before Elody swatted them away. Setting down the sword.
""Too drunk" isn't an excuse to stay here all The time Gerard"
"It's 7pm! And I've only had a glass"
"And you're a light weight. Now cmon. Up. You're trying out scrapbooking. " Gerard was yanked up. Immediately curling into glorious shrimp back and sighing as he took the others hand. "Why are you like this. "
"Cause I am"
"And I love that about you. But it's 7 pm! Lemme drink"
"After scrapbooking. " she smiled to herself. This was nice

Your husband? We turned him fully into a frog. Yeah, sorry. Yeah he gave up his humanity for you, yeah. He did this after hearing that you only care for him now, not love him. Yeah…sorry.

Can we PLEASE talk about how Gerard CHOSE TO GIVE HIS NAME, HIS STORY, HIS DESTINY, AND GIVE IT TO ELODY even AFTER Rapunzel straight up told him Elody did not fall in love with him because of him but because it was the right thing to do.
Regardless of whether or not this is the truth, the fact that Gerard CHOSE to give what he gave shows that Gerard, despite all his faults, really did love Elody beyond himself.
He's gone on record saying he would have fell in love with her even if she had a spider for a face and now this?
Maybe Elody fell in love with Gerard because he was a frog that needed saving. Maybe she didnt.
Maybe Gerard fell in love with Elody because she could make him human. Maybe he didnt.
We don't really know how their love began but what we do know now for certain is that Gerard truly loves Elody, loves her enough to essentially LET GO of her. Unshackle her from the responsibility of keeping him human.
Elody loved Gerard to make him human.
Gerard loves Elody enough to become a frog again.

Gerard's whole life feels like a never ending "Do you want to go to the castle where the dogs are or go back to your frog pond?"
Because it's so demeaning. He can be presented with the choice but he can only ever really go back to the frog pond. He could fight in the war but he was never taught to do anything but hide. He could fix his marriage but he was so young when he was cursed he doesn't know how to do anything but hide. Because his formative years -the years that define who he is and how he reacts- were spent fleeing from herons and dogs and boots. and he may have had his body back for a time, but he will always mentally be in the frog pond, with nothing to do but throw tantrums and hide and make up friends that will not speak to him.
And what lesson did he learn? He deserved it. Pinocchio lied, Ylfa killed, and Gerard understands that they had no choice, but to him, it was always his fault. Elody tells him he wasn't evil, and he doesn't hear her. Because good little boys don't get turned into frogs, and at nine?? The only lesson he could have learned was that he was evil.
Gerard isnt a coward. He just can't go back to the castle, because that's where the dogs are.

SOMEONE please write the Neverafter modern au fanfic where Gerard impulsively becomes a foster parent for Pinocchio and Ylfa after he and Elody “take a break” (it’s not a divorce, he insists, it’s temporary) and because of course he let Elody keep the mansion, he’s not going to make her move out he’s not a monster, he now lives in a little suburban house next to the overly indulgent Timothy Goose, his husband, his son Jack, and his incorrigible cat Pib. Soon after his cousin Rosamund turns up on his doorstep not offering any explanation, but her parents don’t seem to be looking for her and Gerard knows a little too much about parents who don’t look for their children, so she lives there too now and is helping out with Gerard’s strange little foster kids. Ft. Gerard sleeping on the couch every night because of course he gave the master bedroom to Rosamund and Ylfa and Pinocchio share a room with a bunk bed; Timothy helping out where he can, most often in the form of giving way too many cookies; Pinocchio dragging Pib everywhere and trying to use the cat as a scapegoat for half the mischief he gets up to (the other half is things Pib actually did but no one believes a cat would be capable of); the weirdly intense social worker Mr. Wolf; Timothy’s coworkers at the local school Scheherazade and Aesop; and Pinocchio’s ever growing collection of stuffed animals including Senator, cricket, Pinocchicrow and Spinocchio

you know that term "male character being written by a woman" that describes an emotionally complex well-written dude that fans immediately fall in love with because they are crafted w/ so much care and would probably make an ideal partner or whatever? yeah this is exactly the energy of brennan lee mulligan portraying his discontented girlboss npcs in dimension 20

even though it's been a while since neverafter i still can't comprehend that brennan told them "we're doing a horror season, pitch your characters" and murph went "ok first of all, this guy's wife doesn't love him anymore"

when the gang finally meet elody i want to see everyone falling over themselves to hype up gerard. i want pinocchio enthusiastically recounting all of gerard’s heroic deeds. i want red embellishing them to the point of straight up deception. i want rosamund try and use her princess bro code to tell elody, princess to princess, that she’s got a real catch there, very handsome, congratulations, not many people find true love, you know. pib constantly trying to trick them so they’re alone in the same room together. timothy composing a terrible song in the background while they all watch gerard and elody interact. i want the scene from little mermaid’s “kiss the girl” where elody and gerard try to have a heartfelt conversation while three kids, an old man and a cat go 👀👀👀👀👀 in the background. gerard can’t stop sweating.

Perry Pidgeon.
