#sea three and audrey

[theamityelf]

Uma answers the phone, and it's the standard "We have your boyfriend!" ransom call.

For a second she just stands there with a thoughtful look, like she's doing mental math. "Uh-huh..."

"Now, if you ever want to see him again-"

"No, shut up for a second, I'm tryna think."

"You...What?"

She thinks for another second and then gives up. "Alright, you're gonna have to tell me who you have. If it was Ben, you'd have said you have the king; if it was Harry or Gil, I'd be impressed..."

"It's not me!" Gil calls out helpfully from another room. "And Jay's sitting on my lap."

"And it's not Jay," she adds. "So, who'd you catch?"

The voice on the other end of the phone grunts in annoyance. "You know, the blond guy."

"The blond guy's here; that's what I just said."

"No, the-! Cinderella's son. I forget his name; he hasn't been on the news in a while." There's an offended noise, ostensibly from a gagged prince of Cinderellasburg who didn't appreciate the comment on his diminishing spotlight.

"Oh my gods," Uma groans. "You got Chad? He's not even my boyfriend; he's my girlfriend's boyfriend. Did he say he's my boyfriend?"

"He said we should think twice about holding him for ransom because the queen of the sea was going to destroy us."

"Well, yeah, but only because it's the cool thing to do." Uma is putting on her sword belt and jacket at this point. "I mean, Audrey would be pissed if I just let him be kidnapped. Is there a reason you called me? He told you I'd destroy you, and you thought 'I have an idea, let's call her?' How'd you even get my number?"

"Listen closely! We took him because we thought the royals of Cinderellasburg would pay a hefty price for his return. But now that we know he's valuable to the queen of the sea as well, we'd like to make a deal. If you sink the ships of our enemies, we'll return the prince to you with all his fingers."

"Dude, I don't even know who your enemies are. Do you have nautical coordinates?"

"There are five ships we'd like you to sink. I'm sending you the first set of coordinates now, and if the ship is not destroyed within the hour, the prince loses two fingers."

"Got it," Uma muses, glancing across the room at Carlos, who gives her a thumbs up.

"And before you think about attacking us, you should know we're landlocked!"

"Yeah, for sure. I hear you." She's putting eyeliner on in the mirror.

"The first ship, now! When you're done, we'll send the next coordinates."

"Great, yeah. Okay."

The phone hangs up.

"That was long enough to get his location, right?" she asks over her shoulder.

"Yep, we got him," Carlos answers. He's in bed, but he pulled his laptop onto his lap as soon as the matter of hostages was mentioned.

"Cool. Guess I'll go get Chad and...I don't know, kill that guy?"

"No killing. Remedial Goodness."

"Oh, like the crown isn't responsible for-...Whatever. I'll just break his knees."

Another thumbs up. Jane, sitting next to Carlos, looks slightly bewildered, but she hops up to grab Uma's hat for her as she heads out the door.

You asked to be asked about Max but what about a request?

Like Max returning to school in a new healthy throuple. And maybe they look like a captain of the Lost Revenge and a strong golden retriever third mate of another universe?

I do love a good challenge…challenge accepted

(Some creative liberties were taken in character designs for the sake of it making sense for the gossip girl universe)

- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -

It had been five months since the breakup, Aki and Audrey thought they could make it work but…it just wasn’t the same without Max, they just…didn’t work without him. Maybe they weren’t meant to be…but they had to work as a duo again, it’s not like Max wants to ever see them again- but they saw him

It was a Wednesday, Aki and Audrey were on their way to the MET steps to meet up with the rest of the group, when who do they see but Max…and who are those people with him? And why were they so close to him?!

No, no, no- this won’t slide, no one gets that touchy with their boyf- ok, maybe no longer boyfriend, but they still have a right to protect him!

They were a girl and a boy, the girl had eyes like fall leaves and strands of teal woven into her jet black braids. Her wrists were adorned with gold bracelets and her earrings were pearls, but the most peculiar thing was her necklace. A gold naughtilus shell. She was holding Max’s hand and it looked like he hung on every word she said

As for the boy…Audrey was ashamed to admit what she thought when she saw him. He was built like a Greek god with his muscles practically ripping his shirt off, his blonde hair was pulled back in a ponytail with a few strands hanging out, and his eyes were blue, but not the cold, piercing blue like Max’s, they were a warm and friendly blue, like a summer day. The boy was laying in Max’s lap, listening to the conversation with a goofy smile on his face while Max mindlessly stroked his hair

Max himself seemed different…was he wearing eyeliner?

Aki and Audrey walked up to Max and tried for smiles, but before they could get a word out, they were stopped by the girl with the brown eyes

“No”

One simple word cut them down, there was so much power behind it that Aki and Audrey had to stop in their tracks. Max looked up at his exes with unamused disdain, upon further inspection, he was wearing eyeliner

“I thought I said I never want to see you again”

His grip on the girl’s hand tightened

“We were hoping you’d introduce us to your new friends!”

Aki continued trying for that smile and failing miserably

“I thought you were our boyfriend?”

The boy in Max’s lap spoke up

“…boyfriend?”

Audrey stuttered which got a sigh out of Max

“Yes. This is my boyfriend, Graham and my girlfriend, Ulani”

Max explained with an annoyed scoff, wanting this conversation to end as soon as possible. Aki and Audrey looked at Max with shock, then down at Graham and Ulani…what was it with them? Why did they feel so…off?

They didn’t look like Constance students, honestly they kinda looked like they raided Max’s closet and just went with it. They looked like they were dressed as pirates…really fashionable pirates

“How…how did you meet?”

Audrey asked as her voice went up an octave

“Not your business, princess”

Ulani stared daggers into Audrey. For whatever reason, Ulani did not like Audrey. Did Max talk about her and Aki to his new partners? Why was Ulani so terrifying? And why did she smell like the ocean? They are in the middle of Manhattan!

Ulani and Graham started to seem possessive. Graham was no longer lying on Max’s lap and instead had his arm around his waist, and Ulani was practically gripping to Max’s hand and looked like she was ready to charge if her or Aki made the slightest move towards Max

…Ulani and Graham…huh

So while writing this I realized there was so much potential in this concept so I decided “fuck it! I’m writing a fic” when’s it coming? Eventually- we’ll see how much gets done- but it’ll happen!

if I were to put together a gift exchange for the Descendants fandom... would anybody be interested?

you'd be assigned a writer/artist/creator to create a gift work for based on their preferred pairing(s) and/or trope(s) - and someone would do the same for you! 💕

you'd fill out a form through Ao3 listing characters, pairings, tags, and tropes that you'd like to be featured in the gift you receive and you'd fill out a separate form of all those things you're comfortable including in a gift you create for somebody. with Ao3's help, I'd then pair you up with someone who wants to receive the stuff you want to create and vice versa.

so if there's interest... I'm thinking about setting up the exchange for Fall/Thanksgiving of this year (2022), meaning that sign ups would close around September 25th, matches would be sent out in the beginning of October, and works would be due in mid-November, giving everyone about six weeks to work on their gifts.

what do y'all say? yay? nay?

Oh Gods I'm In Love

Also on ao3

A/n: bringing this one over here too because people seem to like this one too and because I think we're all a little desperate for more of this ship.

Fandom: Descendants

Ships: Harry/Audrey, Harry/Uma/Gil, Harry/Audrey/Uma/Gil

Tw: None

Word count: 1476

Summary: Uma and Gil were the only people in the world that he'd shown any part of himself that could be considered weak, because on the Isle, showing that side of yourself to people you couldn't trust meant a knife in the heart. So really, it makes sense that they'd be the only ones to see this odd flustered side of him. With the way they kiss him and praise him and make him giggle till he's red in the face, it's no wonder.

Until the barrier came down, and all of Audrey's prejudice with it.

Or

Harry realizes he's in love with Audrey Rose and has no idea what to do about it.

---

Part 1

Guilt eats him alive, the same way rage bubbles up in his chest when he thinks about her and this whole situation. Here he's got two wonderful people who, for as long as he can remember, were the only people he could really rely on, could really love. And here he sits, still wanting more.

Because suddenly Audrey took his hand in the midst of festive music and smiled at him like he wasn't just a Mad Hook boy. She twirled around him and threw her head back with even the worst of his pick up lines. Her eyes shun with wonder when he pulled out his hook, even when the others around him flinched back, like he was readying himself for battle. He wanted to hate her, if only to get that familiar flutter out of his chest whenever she so much as glances at him. But she makes it impossible, with her windswept hair and her radiant smile. He despises the way it makes him act like such a fool.

He's Harry Hook, feared son of the Neverland captain himself, he's not supposed to trip over himself when he sees a pretty girl. And still he barely stutters out what he can manage whenever she greets him. He's never felt so incompetent. Even in the days he was desperate to prove himself to Uma, even when they realized Gil was meant to be theirs, he had been sturdy. His charms were still vibrant, and even with the manic Hook blood inside of him, he never made a mistake.

But now Audrey has squirmed her way inside his chest and inbetween his ribcage, right into the creases of his heart, and he doesn't know what to do with that.

Uma and Gil were the only people in the world that he'd shown any part of himself that could be considered weak, because on the Isle, showing that side of yourself to people you couldn't trust meant a knife in the heart. So really, it makes sense that they'd be the only ones to see this odd flustered side of him. With the way they kiss him and praise him and make him giggle till he's red in the face, it's no wonder.

Until the barrier came down, and all of Audrey's prejudice with it. She had smiled at him, kind and genuine. No expectations of 'Isle Kid Hook' or 'Monster Villain Kid.' Just a simple smile.

He hasn't been able to stop thinking about her since. It drives him mad.

So the guilt eats him alive, and whenever he kisses Uma, whenever Gil clings to him, he feels like he's betraying them.

So he hides it, tucks it away deep inside and hopes it will just—

Go away.

----

"You're not subtle." Says Uma, legs laid out over Harry's, back against the armrest of their new Auradon couch. "You've been avoiding her like the plague."

She nods to Audrey, sitting on the floor with Gil, showing him what a puzzle is supposed to look like when they actually have all the pieces together. They're laughing and grinning at each other like they're having the time of their lives, far enough away that they can't hear Uma's low voice. Harry very nearly tenses up.

"Maybe I just can't stand the lass." He says instead, not bothering to look away from Audrey. Uma can't help but scoff.

"Right, that's why you can barely speak when she's around."

Harry goes red in the face, hoping that it's not noticeable to anybody but him. "Yer Crazy." He says, barely shifting his eyes to say it.

"Oh I'm crazy." Uma raises an eyebrow and pushes herself off the armrest of the couch, he finally looks at her, "Is that coming from a Hook of all people?" Shes got a smirk plastered on her face, a challenge she's hoping he'll take the bait for. And he almost does, ready for a shift in conversation so they can go back to pretending he's not madly in love with an Auradon girl.

Oh gods he's in love with her.

Uma doesn't let him bite, she reels back just as calmly as she had leaned out before he can even open his mouth, "You like her."

And sure maybe it's an understatement, compared to the earth shattering realization he's just had in his own head, but it makes him freeze nonetheless. He goes pale and rigid, color draining from his face as quickly as it had rose.

He flounders, not entirely sure what that look Uma's giving him means. His jaw clenches, even as he's working it up and down trying to gather together a string of words to defend himself.

I'd never do that to you, he wants to say, because he desperately wishes it were true. But he's never been able to lie to Uma, and he thinks her dissapointment would be much worse then any rage she might be harboring.

So it startles him when she starts laughing. Giggling at first, like she had caught him with his hook in a cookie jar, then throwing her head back and clutching at her stomach. Maybe she was going crazy, he thinks, catching the way Audrey and Gil look up at them from their puzzle.

It's not necessarily unusual, the three of them have always been a little mad, some more then others. So when Gil pats at Audrey's arm, gathering her focus back on the puzzle in front of them, showing her exactly how usual this is, it's like nothings happened at all. He can't help but be a little relieved.

Uma's laughter has melted down, back into a fit of giggles. She grins at him, all Cheshire-like. Like she can see all the little cogs turning inside his head. Still, she doesn't say anything, waiting for him to make the first move.

Waiting for him to admit something.

Harry gives up on trying to defend himself, looks away from her and swallows. He watches the pristine white of the floor instead, the way his old Isle boots scuff it so easily. "If you knew," He starts. "why did you invite her?"

Uma gives a disbelieving laugh, "What?"

He turns to her, looking almost worried, almost scared. Entirely too vulnerable. "If you knew, why did you bring her here?"

Uma searches his face, eyebrows scrunched together. He half expects her to tell him to choose. Her or us. You can't have both Harry. He tenses up, ready for any sort of outburst she might have. Ready for her anger and her rage.

"Harry," She says, "You know you can date her, right?"

He freezes, like he's misheard her. He'd gone over this a million times in his head, ready for any compromise she'd bring, ready for any argument and any possible break up. Never had he actually considered her being ok with this.

"I'm uhm—" he swallows, "Wh-what?"

Uma tilts her head, brows furrowed even more, "Did you think we'd suddenly stop loving you just because you've got a crush?"

It's so much more then that, he thinks, but right now he's focusing on working out a response that isn't Yes! That's exactly what I thought! How was I supposed to know I wasn't an awful boyfriend?

He settles instead on, "Um."

"By gods Harry!" Uma sags, she looks shocked, "You're not the only one fond of her. Haven't you noticed?" She waves over to Gil, and for the first time, Harry notices the blush high on his cheeks. Gil looks at Audrey the way he looks at Uma, with awe and wonder and maybe a little bit of obsession. He looks at her like she's hung the moon and the stars all on her own. How had he never noticed that before?

"You really didn't know." Says Uma, watching the realization fall over him. "Harry I've been ogling her since she stole you away to dance. Right after the Barrier fell." She looks defeated, unable to believe he would be so oblivious. "Harry Hook you cannot be this blind. That was months ago."

"I just— I figured ya wanted me fer yourself!" He whisper-yells. It sounds a little silly now that he says it out loud, emphasized by the way his accent thickens in his fluster. They were possessive of each other that was a given, but they had never said others were off limits, not entirely. If you felt a spark, a real one, you could be with them. That was their rule.

"Harry Hook. You are an idiot." Uma deadpans, but even as she criticizes him, her eyes are fond. She glances at Audrey and Gil, and nods over to their puzzle. "Look, they're finishing up." She fixes a look on Harry smirking and winking for good measure. "Go ask her out for us darling."

Thinking about writing a disaster ship for Claudine Frollo ✨✨

#with Ivy #probably #or Huma #yeah that's my personal problem I think but you'll have to deal with it #anyway. Sea Three & Claudine meeting Queen of Mean cos Mal's officially traitor to the Isle kids?? #they'd get to cooperate but pirates would get to freak out Audrey a fair bit #Audrey (an aroace) is just like „Can you please not?? there is a war to win??“ #which does NOTHING to stop Uma and Harry #and Claudine is making the situation actively worse. as she deserves.

What if Poseidon had a daughter before Percy Jackson but forgot about her mom and never claimed her.

Here's my version of this.

Poseidon took advantage of a drunk woman way before he even met Sally, and from that relationship, the woman was pregnant with his daughter, but he left her before she was born.

The girls name is Audrey. Her mom did try to get an abortion but she couldn't afford it, so she kept Audrey but she didn't raise her right.

From the moment Audrey was born, she was different. She was mute, she spent her time near the beach, loved the rain, and would stand outside for hours when it did, and even dance in the rain and with the sea and she would even smile when she heard thunder or saw lightning. She was never afraid of storms. She barely spent time inside, which in her case was a good idea. But she was never a good student and the teachers never cared for her, or the students

Audrey's mom became a drunk full-time. She went to work drunk and came home drunker with a new guy almost every day. She would also abuse Audrey both physically and verbally if she felt like it, which was all the time.

The ocean was her only escape, and when her mom first laid a hand on her, Audrey decided never to speak again the fifth time her mother laid a hand on her, which irritated her mother even more and made Audrey more of a target.

Audrey taught herself sign language during this time and would escape to the beach more often, and she would even stay the night most days if things got too bad at home.

One day, Audrey was met with a woman at the beach who took her in her home and made sure she was well fed, then when it was late, Audrey tried to leave but the woman wouldn't let her go and tried to make up excuses. But then two other women appeared, and Audrey panicked and ran. Then, the women transformed into furies and went to attack her. They managed to get her down, and Audrey tried to scream for help, but no one came. When the furies went in the kill, one last scream from Audrey was heard until three of the Furies exploded in front of her.

Audrey was in shock at what happened but took this chance to run away back home. But when she got there, another thing awaited her. Her mother lay in her bed completely still and breathless with bottles of alcohol and pills scattered with a note next to her that pretty much said, "I wish I never had you. You were a mistake. And if I had the money, you would've been gone a long time ago, and I wouldn't have done this. This is all your fault."

Audrey was in more shock. She killed three creatures, and now her mom is dead. So after a few days, she rolled up her sleeves, packed up everything she could, and left on the first bus she could get. She was 10 at the time (Percy is 6 rn), and at every turn, more monsters were after her, and she had no idea what to do other than run away.

She kept running and accidentally killing the monsters until a cyclops tried to eat her. But then, one of Luke's followers found her and took her to the others. They didn't know who her parent was, but then again, she didn't either.

They took her in, trained her, and informed her of everything they could about their world that she got herself into. And she started seeing them as family. It wasn't until a few weeks before lightning theif that Luke found out who she really was, and he told her who Poseidon was and after that she started training with her powers but she remained hidden until the time was right for her reveal.

Audrey's appearance description: Black wavy hair with blue highlights (did them herself), grey blue eyes like the ocean and a storm, light tan skin (being out on the sun all day mostly), 5'5, slender with a slight build

Weapon: Trident

Hairstyles: full braid, half braid, ponytail, messy bun, fully down, multiple braids.

Jewelry: Seashell bracelet (she loves making things out of seashells), blue gem necklace, pearl clip

(This is just my oc. Don't take it so seriously. It belongs in my imagination)

Summary:

How about a Descendants AU where instead of VKs being brought to Auradon, Ben, Audrey, Chad, Lonnie, Jane, and maybe a few other AKs are forced to stay on Isle of the Lost for a month (under secret protection and surveillance of course) after their parents believe “they have it too easy” and are “ungrateful for everything their parents had sacrificed and worked for”. Under a disguise, they must learn how blend in and survive, all while avoiding the two most powerful rival gangs, the Core Four and the Sea Three.

The AKs find it uncannily comfortable on the Isle as the month starts. 

Audrey, with the help of the Evil Queen’s daughter, slowly learns that beauty isn’t skin deep and can be found in even the cruelest and darkest of places (and even exchange a few beauty tips). 

Chad befriends the only person on the Isle who hadn’t robbed him blind or threatened to hurt him yet. An adorable little girl, Drizella’s daughter to be specific. At first, he uses her to get around on the Isle, and manipulates her into doing his bidding but he slowly begins changes for the better as he sees the similarities between her and his mother before she had her happy ever after come true. 

An arrogant Lonnie challenges Gaston’s son into a duel, being the captain of R.O.A.R back home, only to lose miserably. She then secretly watches the Sea Three and the rest of the crew spar (“he had to cheat, my mom’s Mulan!”) until he invites her to spar with them, learning a few more techniques that she’d never learn back home, especially dual wielding. 

Jane, more depressed than ever that she can’t even secretly use magic against her mother’s will anymore, somehow befriends the sneaky daughter of Dr. Facilier, and she introduces Jane to her own version of magic, sleight of hand magic that is. She even teaches Jane how to pick-pocket, and she loves the thrill of it all. Jane never had the chance to take risks, and she had never felt so alive when she had stole Jafar’s son beanie right off of him. 

Ben, in the meanwhile, enjoys the laid back, carefree lifestyle (once he’s fully adjusted, it takes him the longest, Audrey being the second longest) and somehow manages to “ally” with both gangs after he stops a fight between the daughter of Maleficent against the daughter of Ursula, the leaders. With his help, they both realize that deep down they have the same goal: to make their mothers proud for once. He notices just how awful both of the girls and the rest of the Isle has it (no thanks to his father) and secretly vows to the others to release them from this prison once the month is over or he’d stay on the Isle too until they were guaranteed their freedom as well.

Cue other AKs like Doug, Jordan, and Ally who sneak on the Isle to kidnap Ben to bring him back and everyone else is PISSED.

The VKs team up to try and find a way off the Isle while holding the rest of the AKs hostage once their true identities come to light and Ben has to go back for his friends.

ALL OF HIS FRIENDS.

Okay, so as I was talking to Evie about the other day, I was going through one of my old notebooks and found a whole extended universe of Descendants OCs I had planned from middle school. I obviously don’t plan on formally introducing or doing anything with all of these OCs, because there is a lot of them, but I still thought it would be fun to share them with you guys! They’re not all in their original versions from my notebook, because a few of them did require a little changing and revamping, but I still hope you guys enjoy these little ideas from twelve-year-old me’s brain.

Soha Pride, daughter of Simba and Nala, Carlos ship. Able to attend Auradon Prep thanks to a spell from Fairy Godmother that allows her entire family to shift between their lion and human forms. Very dedicated to her duties as a princess of Pride Rock, but sometimes feels overshadowed by her older sister Kiara because she’s the oldest and the heir. Doesn’t believe any of the stuff Audrey and Chad say about the VKs and makes it her mission to be friends with them. Formerly a Jay ship. I am going to be introducing her formally in a little bit, so look out for that!

Josie Sparrow, daughter of Jack Sparrow, Evie ship. Auradon kid because it could never be decided whether Jack was a villain or not, and now he sails all around the seas surrounding Auradon and the different kingdoms. Has the ability to visit the Isle in her dreams, and it’s later revealed that that’s because her mother is Calypso. A huge troublemaker and prankster who’s constantly in trouble with Fairy Godmother, and becomes quick besties with Mal because of it when the VKs first come to Auradon.

Jackson Kelly-Jacobs, son of Jack Kelly and David Jacobs, OC ship. Son of Jack and Davey because I am a Javid shipper for life. A dancer and gymnast who’s on the R.O.A.R. team, and used to be friends with Chad before he turned into a bully. Really flirty and charming like his dad Jack, but still a total sweetheart. He and Evie quickly develop a WLW/MLM friendship when the VKs come to Auradon, and he definitely punches Chad during the Family Day thing.

Steven Smee, son of Mr. Smee, OC ship (Jackson’s boyfriend). Comes to Auradon with the VKs even though he’s not friends with them after Ben lets his dad persuade him to invite the child of a sidekick along with the children of villains so the people of Auradon are a bit “more receptive”. A complete shy sweetheart who loves his dad and brothers and misses them terribly when he leaves (because Smee is actually a really good dad) and is the reason the twins get to come to Auradon in the third movie. Kind of sensitive because he got bullied a lot as a kid on the Isle, but still has an inner strength that not a lot of people expect.

Maile Montunui, daughter of Moana, Uma ship. President and pretty much only member of the Auradon Prep Sailing Club, which the Sea Three join after they come to Auradon in the alternate post-second movie story that I had in my head. Incredibly courageous and not afraid to speak her mind, but sometimes gets herself into trouble from being too confident. Frequently curses and insults people in Samoan. Bisexual disaster who falls in love with Uma instantly, even if it takes Uma a while to feel the same about her.

Haven Hearts, daughter of the Queen of Hearts, Harry ship. Member of the VKs who had a sort of Romeo and Juliet romance going on with Harry, but has to break it off when they leave to go to Auradon. She wants desperately to be good and break away from her mother’s reputation, and dedicates herself to being better once the VKs choose good at the coronation, which causes some tension between her and Harry when they meet again in the second movie. In the alternate post-second movie story after the Sea Three come to Auradon, though, they reconcile and get back together. She’s fierce and sarcastic by nature but not mean, and she shares Mal’s love for graffiti.

Cierra Chernabog, daughter of Chernabog, Ben ship. Outcast even on the Isle because her father is a demon, doesn’t come to Auradon until after the second movie because so many people were against bringing Chernabog’s kid to Auradon the first time. Super shy and doesn’t talk a whole lot, but incredibly smart and loving. Has a demon form that she isn’t able to access until leaving the Isle, but it’s big and terrifying and still kind of cool.

Celeste Frollo, daughter of Judge Frollo, Audrey ship. Claudette’s twin sister, very religious and God-fearing due to her father’s teaching, so she has a lot of Catholic guilt over liking girls (picture, like, Carrie White with no telekinesis and if she was a lesbian). Gets to go to Auradon after the second movie, when Audrey’s slowly starting to reform herself and be more accepting of villain kids (we’re pretending the third movie doesn��t happen, I guess), and at the same time my girl slowly starts to overcome her guilt and they fall in love!

And there are even more, but I’m gonna stop there (😅). Hope you guys enjoyed this little look into my crazy little middle schooler brain!!

Hi!

The song Lights Off by We Are Domi fits so well for Audrey Rose just before Queen of Mean! (Or maybe even during it?)

And if you'd write a story for that, that would be absolutely awesome! ♥️

Those are the lyrics:

I lost my soul, forgot my way

There's no mistakes that I've not made

Changes hurt and I'm alone

But people say, "My, how you've grown"

Try changing jobs, try changing lovers

Changing my furniture, change my bed covers

I've changed my heart, but there's not a chance

So turn the lights off

...I lost my soul, forgot my way...

In the aftermath, Audrey was horrified by what she had done. Sickened even. Disgusted.

There wasn't a moment of it that she didn't regret. The way she had behaved was despicable and the worst part was... she couldn't explain any of it other than the breaking into the museum part.

She couldn't explain why she had crashed Jane's party and cursed everyone despite her saying she'd never do so not even two years before.

Couldn't explain why she had thrown things at Chad or why she had locked him in a closet despite knowing about his claustrophobia.

Couldn't explain why she cursed Ben into being a beast despite the fact he told her that it was his greatest fear when they were younger.

She couldn't explain any of it.

...There's no mistakes that I've not made...

Audrey felt sick looking back on it all.

She felt even sicker knowing that she hadn't exactly been on her best behavior before Ben's proposal either.

Even though she had tried to move on. Even though she had tried to be better, to be nicer.

She couldn't explain why she did any of it or why she had snapped. And she hated herself for it. Hated all she had done.

Hated that Chad could no longer look her in the eye after she had been awakened from the sleeping curse.

...Changes hurt and I'm alone ...

Hated that Chad needed a bit of time away from her and that he was going to stay with his step uncle for awhile. Even though she understood it.

She'd have gone away for awhile too.

After all, what are you to do when the one person you would have done anything for treated you as horribly as she had him?

A tiny voice in her head snarkily reminded her that she had done the same after Ben dumped her. But it had taken her longer. But Audrey did her best to ignore that voice.

Because what she had done to Chad was alot worse than Ben dumping her.

Audrey wanted to scream.

She should have appreciated Chad while she had him. Even if she'd never be able to love him the way he wanted.

...But people say, "My, how you've grown"...

After everyone found out that she'd been manipulated and somewhat possessed by Maleficent's scepter, the judgemental stares lessened. The harsh whispers behind her back did too.

People were even nicer to her than they had been after Ben dumped her.

Audrey hated it.

She didn't deserve it.

She knew she didn't deserve it.

Some people even started complimenting her on how much she'd grown after she helped plan Ben and Mal's wedding. After she did community service.

They were wrong.

She knew they were.

She hadn't grown.

She was just slowly inching back towards the girl she had use to be. Trying to pick up the pieces of her little 6 year old self's heart while also trying to desperately hold on to one of the only friendships she had managed to hold on to after the vks came.

But a part of her wasn't sure she could stop her and Chad's friendship from crumbling any further. Even though she desperately hoped so.

...Try changing jobs, try changing lovers...

Audrey tried to disappear from the public's eye for awhile. Tried to focus on doing good in summer school so she could graduate and go to college soon.

It didn't make her feel better.

She tried moving on from Ben. Tried moving on from her and Chad's deteriorating relationship.

He barely answered her calls and texts anymore. She didn't know just how empty her life without her best friend was until he stopped calling and texting as often. And it pained her.

She started talking to Harry Hook, who convinced her to let her wild side out more and more. Who convinced her to grow a backbone and stand up to her grandmother.

Audrey and him started dating, which eased the ache in her heart slightly.

But it didn't completely rid her of the pain and hate, and bitter memories. Of the knowledge that if she lost her best friend-- the only one who had stood by her side completely time and time again-- that it'd be her fault. And hers alone.

...Changing my furniture, change my bed covers...

Audrey and Harry moved in together-- into a nice little apartment near the shore. Near where the Lost Revenge was stationed.

Harry let Audrey pick the furniture. On the condition that at least some of it matched his style as well as hers. Which was something she could work with.

She changed her bedsheets and her covers to more of a reddish color. Downsized her bed.

Healing slowly, one day at a time.

...I've changed my heart, but there's not a chance...

Audrey allowed herself to be kind and vulnerable again. Allowed the little girl she use to be before the insecurity and parental neglect, and helicopter grand-parenting got to her.

Allowed herself to move on fully from Ben and started going to therapy with not only Harry and his crew, but with Chad as well.

By all accounts, she was getting better. Feeling better.

But there was always gonna be that little dark spot on her soul. Always gonna be that little snarky and snide voice in her head telling her that she was never gonna be able to make up for all she had done to her friends.

Old and new.

To all those innocent people she had hurt.

Which made it hard to get out of bed some days.

...So turn the lights off ...

But that was fine.

Wounds took time to heal, after all.

And Audrey had plenty of time to heal.

Her friends, new and old, would make sure of that.

Especially the new.

Fantasy Book Recs

For the people who asked for book recs, muhahaha...

(You may be interested in my book tag or my goodreads) The tag definitely repeats some of my favourites because I keep recommending them, but in my defence, they are excellent and I need no defence. 

Anyway, fantasy book recs my love...I know I have a type. We all know I have a type. I was not kidding about the fairytales/retellings obsession.

Also, let’s get it out of the way. Literally ANYTHING by V.E Schwab. I cannot stress that enough. My favourite is The Invisible Life of Addie La Rue, but like. God tier.

I’m just going to go and add Leigh Bardugo here as well. Slightly less god tier, but still great. Especially Six of Crows/Crooked Kingdom which is god tier.

You know what, seeing someone say Audrey is a "bitch" stirred some unwanted feelings in me because rewatching the first movie and comparing her to other Disney antagonists, Audrey isn't all that bad to me.

At most, what she did was make snide comments and that's about it.

She never tried to sabotage the VKs to send them back to the Isle. She only tried to make Ben jealous after he (being spelled) practically humiliated her in front of the whole school by declaring his love for another girl.

And she wasn't wrong about being cautious around the VKs (practically Mal) because Ben did get spelled, did he not! Didn't Mal use magic to manipulate Jane?

Even onscreen, we don't even see her be mean to other Auradonian kids.

And at the end of the first movie, she was the one to have a change of heart and even danced with the VKs.

And the thing about the Family Day scene, I don't even blame Audrey for not wanting her grandmother to talk Mal. I wouldn't either. That's the same girl who took her boyfriend away, the same boyfriend she known for years given the books and photos seen in the third movie.

Mal is the same girl who happens to be the daughter of Maleficent. THE FAIRY WHO SPELLED AUDREY'S MOTHER WHEN SHE WAS JUST A BABY TO HAVE A SLEEP-LIKE DEATH. Mind you, Maleficent probably did it because she could, not because she was hurt about being invited to a christening. Isn't Maleficent the "Mistress of Evil"? You really think a villain with that title would be like "woe is me, you didn't invite me, wah, *sad tears*"? Nah, she just wanted to cause some mischief. Look, some villains just want to be evil and cruel without any reasons, no sad backstory required. (Keep in mind, Descendants was following the stories of the animated films.)

Also, to me, watching the Family Day scene, Mal looked almost smug, kinda... it just didn't come off like she was being nice when Audrey told her grandmother not talk to her. Queen Leah didn't freak out until Mal made that face, probably getting flashbacks to when Maleficent cursed her daughter.

Granted, the VKs did deserve to have a chance to prove they're not like their parents and I like the VKs, I do. (In fact, most of my faves are the VKs, Sea Three included.)

But to me, Audrey really isn't all that bad that some people like to say she is. She was snarky, but let's not sit here and act like she was the only character doing it (just saying, she left no crumbs). She was cautious and had every right to be. But she never tried to sabotage anyone and she isn't shown to be mean to other characters until the third movie, but that was more so out of anger (after all the wrong she went through) and being corrupted by the scepter.

Collectively, throughout the three movies, the worst Audrey ever has done was steal the crown and scepter and use Maleficent's magic.

But not to excuse her actions, but I'm blaming Auradon for that one.

Why do they only have one guy holding down the museum?! Why?! Makes no sense!! Twice, twice someone managed to get into the museum undetected and the second time a lone person succeeded getting not one, but two items!!

Why was Maleficent's scepter not properly cased?! Oh, they be making sure FG's wand is safe and secured, but knowing how powerful Maleficent's scepter is they just leave out in the open! Just stupid! Stupid!

Expected though, since someone had the "brilliant" idea to have the barrier open and a bridge form through a button... but that's for another day...
