[you-have-been-frizzled]

so the Black swans collective has those rings that completely wipe their minds if they get caught. and they have a cure that should get thier memories back

i have this feeling that Julines going to get caught and wipe her mind of all her memories.

her memories of her sister, her kids, her niece

and their not going to be able to find a cure at first, and her family will be struggling with the fact she can’t remember them. the fact that she’ll still feel the emotions from the memories but can’t actually remember them will cause even more drama and frustration. maybe she’ll get snip bit of memories here and there but get frustrated because she can’t remember the whole memory.

A Herrmann/Halstead Production: Original Characters Cast

Hi! I thought it would be fun to put together a post with all of the people I would cast to play the original characters in my series, A Herrmann/Halstead Production.

Check it out and let me know what you think!

First of all, of course, is Bex! Rebecca "Bex" Herrmann is the main original character. She's the younger half sister of both Christopher Herrmann and Will and Jay Halstead.

Adelaide Kane is who I'd pick to play Bex. I think she looks like she could be related to both Herrmann and the Halsteads. (Bex and Will both got their brown eyes from their individual moms, but it ends up making them look more alike. Bex and Jay both got their freckles from Pat. Bex and Chris got their darker hair, nose shape, and smile from their mom.)

Chris and Bex.

Jay, Will, and Bex.

Please also enjoy how cute Mouse and Bex look together:

It's going to be so good once they get their act together. :D

Next up: Bex's friends from college (and band mates!)

Kiki Layne as Kira Cole and Stephanie Hsu as Malia Lin. (Kira plays lead guitar in their band and Malia plays keyboard.)

Anthony Hill as Devon Robertson, Tyler Hoechlin as Sam Kent, and Rafael Silva as Isaac Almeida. (Devon plays drums in the band, Sam is Julie Tay's current patrol partner, and Isaac is running the Mouse/Bex betting board with Shay. I have a fun storyline planned for these three guys and Shay and Tay. :D)

Sinqua Walls as Ben Vernon and Florence Pugh as Faith Callahan. (Ben acts as manager for the band and Faith plays bass.)

Madison Iseman as Emery Hughes and Bryce Durfee as Ty Anderson. (Yes, Ty is somewhat older than Emery and the group. She met him once they moved back to Chicago, not while they were at school.)

Next is Bex and her band's new rock band friends: Taggert!

Matthew Daddario as Beau Taggert. (He is the middle Taggert sibling. He's also the lead guitarist of the band and one of the lead singers.)

[I wanted someone who could pull off being broody, sexy rock star guy, but also be fun and charming and kind of goofy. I think Matthew Daddario fits that bill pretty nicely.]

Beau and Bex. (Might need to do an AU of this AU where they end up together, lol!)

Katie McGrath as Patti Taggert. (She is the oldest Taggert sibling and the other lead singer of the band. She also plays guitar. Patti is engaged to Pete.)

Shelley Hennig as Elle Taggert. (She is the youngest Taggert sibling and she plays drums in the band.)

Oliver Stark as Pete Nash. (He is Patti's fiancé and he plays bass in the band.)

Next up is the bad guys (thus far):

Michael Shannon as Vincent Marsconi, aka Vinnie, Finn Whitrock as Cal Anderson and Bill Skarsgård as Robert Forrest aka Ramsay. (But he has lighter hair as Ramsay.)

Last, but not least is Mouse's support group:

Richard Schiff as Chuck Weiss, Christian Kane as Ed Spencer, and Jason George as Frank Bailey.

Brianna Baker as Ada Jackson and AJ Cook as Lucy Graham.

Those are all of the major original characters. Might have one or two more crop up and I'll add them here when they appear.

Update #1!

Meet Richard Madden as AJ Michaels aka the Asshole. Click here for the rundown post of the series if you want to check it out! (Or you can read it on ao3 if you prefer: click here!)

I hope you enjoyed this little tour through the OC cast! My ask box and inbox are always open if you want to say hi/scream about the shows/talk about fic!

Time to count how many people want to marry her

And that she doesn’t regret being in the Neverseen. Girlboss

Rayni is a girlboss

Say it with me, Rayni is a girlboss

Tiergan adopting all the gay kids

He is that meme of “how many kids do you have?” “Biologically, legally or emotionally?”

Tiergan is done with this hetro shit

He must want to quit teaching Sophie and Fitz at this point

The “Stop calling us Fitzphie!” Damn

Like dude you literally still have a crush on her…

Rayni is what made that book not boring

She made that meeting happen

Dex and Biana are totally dating but haven’t told anyone

You can’t convince me otherwise but their is chemistry between the 2, and it is getting spicy

Like they are getting along too well

Dexiana is sailing

Sophie and Jensi besties

No, Sophie, Tam and Jensi as the new trio!

Jensi is gay tho, you can tell

Okay now the meeting! Rayni slay the day you absolute queen

Sophie with her entire plan

Rayni feeding Tam when his stomach growled will never be forgotten

The Trix and Rayni friendship

Tam stopping Sophie from having a panic attack because of Vespera!

Tam would honestly be an amazing friend

Trix outing Keefe for being fake with the Neverseen! Like Keefe is really an idiot

No but Maruca and her “is that true?”’s to Tam

Girly was shook

Sophie and Tam showing up to Dex’s in the middle of the night with a forbidden spy ball with ways to get Keefe back

Dex would’ve screamed

What if it was Juline that opened the door to Sophie and Tam?

Also Biana was missing

She literally just disappeared throughout that book

No but you can tell Sophie and Tam annoyed Dex so much while he was rigging the Spy ball

He wanted to slap them

Also Bex and Lex annoying them

Also poor Rex

Save Rex petition

I don’t like Shannon for that one

Then when they jumped out a window to flee to London and drag Keefe back

Sophie, Dex and Tam slayed

Then how Tam wishes Linh was there

Okay In the hotel, the “Foster?” As Sophie literally hug-tackled Keefe

Should’ve bitch slapped him tho

How Keefe was trying to take his shirt off for Tam, like you are gay

Dex standing there

Poor Dex

Also Tam just standing there

Poor Dex and Tam

Then them going back to Havenfeild

Edaline hugging Keefe!!!!

Also Keefe having presents ready to give to Sophie because of what he did

That’s what you get for running away

I want to see Sophie, Dex and Tam babysitting the triplets

Even Sophie and Dex babysitting them would be amazing

Oh my god, the kiss

The kiss guys

Sophie and Keefe finally kissed and Fitz was salty about it

Also both of them caring about each others feelings

Keefe calling Sophie “Sophie” during the confession

Fitz is salty

Like “You kissed him, you didn’t even kiss me” *wah wah wah*

Fitz is acting like a toddler that got his toy confiscated from him

Calm down dude

The damn hairpin was in Biana’s jewellery box, that was Biana’s plot point in the entire book at this point

Then Tam chaperoning Dex and Biana

He knew that Sokeefe happened so he had to move onto Dexiana

Keefe teasing Sophie

Like he really wants to kiss her in the moment

Then Keefe coming along with Sophie to make sure she is safe

That is like Sophie stopping Keefe from going to Ravagog in book 4

Sophie, Keefe, Marella, Maruca and Fitz at it

Gisela bowing up Vespera so she doesn’t have to confess her love for her

Taking notes

Then Elysian

Elysian neutrals

Like Damn girly, that cliffhanger…

And why hasn’t Ro came back yet…?

Legacy Deleted Lines (Raw text, screen-reader friendly)

Any relevant description provided by Shannon on the quote image will be included before the quote itself.

1. Deleted Dex Line. Quote text:

"Then what's the point of Team Wow-We-Need-A- Much-Cooler-Name?" Dex asked, "if you're just assigning us to do stuff we were going to do anyway?"

2. Quote text:

Sophie had no doubt that Dex would make the triplets bow and call him Lord Dex before the night was over. She was also sure he was going to wake up and find his hair a big white poofball and Rex, Bex, and Lex calling him Lord Tomplehead.

3. Quote text:

You're no good to anyone dead, either," Sophie noted.

"Then it's a good thing I'm not planning on dying," Keefe argued.

"No one plans on dying." Sandor reminded him.

Keefe shrugged and glanced at Ro. "That's what I have her for. You up for it, Princess? Think you can keep me safe??

Ro unsheathed another dagger. "Bring it on."

Qui devrait mourir dans le tome 10 de gardiens des cités perdues, et pourquoi ? Partie 1 : Les jeunes

Selon moi...

Sophie : Etant la protagoniste, ça serait extrêmement intéressant. Une victoire remportée au prix de sa vie, un genre d'accomplissement, mais pitié pas un sacrifice pour keefe, ça gâcherais tout le time up. on pourrais voir les réactions de tout les personnages, que le sacrifice du colibri entrainerais à la victoire, avec un esprit de venger sophie et d'accomplir ce qu'elle avait commencé

Fitz : Eh bien maintenant qu'il s'est fait recaler par sophie et que le seul intéret des personnages de cette histoire sont leurs histoires sentimentales, sa seule utilité serait de mourir. Après s'être réconcilié avec tout le monde, sophie, et keefe, tourné la page, voir pourquoi pas se sacrifier pour son meilleur ami. Sans rancune keefe ! ça tournerais la page pour sophie, puisque Fitz lui avait montré la voix, avait toujours été à ses côtés pour le début, maintenant ç ouvrirait une page plus mature. Et voir l'effet de la mort d'un apparenté sur son apparentée, je dis WHY NOT !

Keefe : Je sais, je sais, maintenant qu'il est avec sophie, il a plus le droit de mourir, donc shannon osera jamais... et franchement, bah moi non plus.

Mais avouez que le faire se sacrifier pour empêcher l'accomplissement du projet de sa mère car il en représentait la clé, ça aurait une sacrée classe quand même !

Linh : Eh bien... Mis à part dévaster Tam quel serait l'effet exact de sa mort ? Bien sûr, pour tout le monde, ça serait une sacrée claque ! Peut être la voir mourir en protégeant un ogre voir ravagog tout entier ? Ou en sauvant lueur.

Tam : Mr frangette... Eh bah... En vrai nan, lui il est utile vivant, et sa mort aurait comme seul impact de faire partir lueur et de perdre toutee chance de contact avec les invisibles, entrainant ainsi une escalade de violence. Peut être que Keefe aurait un gros pincement de coeur en voyant son "meilleur ennemi" mourir comme ça ? Linh sombrerais dans la dépression sans aucun doute, et on aurait maybe droit à un rapprochement avec lueur puisqu'elles souffreraient toutes les deux de la perte de Tam. Sauf si bien sûr il décède à cause de lueur (sacrifice, erreur de sa part)

Lueur : nan pas d'intéret non plus, je dirais. à moins qu'elle soit tuée par un invisible et que ça fasse changer Trix de camp ?

Marella : Mouaaais... à vrai dire pas d'intérêt non plus. Même pas du tout. J'en vois genre aucun.

Maruca. : Vous allez rire, je lui trouve un intérêt ! eh oui ! Sa mort aurait d'inévitables répercussions sur wylie, qui ferait peut être porter le chapeau à sophie, entrainant une scission du cygne noir. Linh pourrait se rapprocher de lui pour le consoler, formant ainsi une réelle famille.

Wylie : Reverso. Là, ce serait Linh, maruca et bien sûr Prentice et Tiergan qui seraient effondrés. Peut être que l'esprit de tiergan se fissurerait à cause de sa culpabilité et que ce serait à Prentice de le sauver à son tour, qui sais ?

Dex : Nan plus. Lui, mis à part effondrer sophie puisque théoriquement c'est son meilleur ami (sauf qu'on a pas du tout l'impression dans les livres franchement...) bah je lui trouve aucun intéret à décéder.

Rex : Vous l'attendiez pas, hein ? Eh bien si ! Je veux le voir se sacrifier pour les cités perdues, prouvant ainsi la place des sans talents parmi les elfes ! Leur utilité ! Là ou ses frères et soeurs (Lex et bex j'entends, pas dex) avaient peur d'agir, lui se jeta au coeur de l'action et périt héroiquement.

Biana : Moooooouuaiiiis... elle m'inspire pas trop à vrai dire puisqu'elle a déjà eu son moment de gloire dans le t6 si je dis pas de bêtises dans la numérotation. Je la verrais plus tuer qu'être tuée.

Voilà c'était mon topo sur la jeune génération, si ça vous intéresse je ferais ptête un sur les vieux, les adultes, les darons, appellez ça comme vous voulez, si on atteint les 10 likes minimum

Word count: 4.1k

TW: food

Notes: I know Shannon addressed this in canon but I disagree and I strongly believe that Amy would use both Amy and Natalie so she can feel connected to the person she used to be before Sophie was erased and the person she became afterward. Also there's a healthy cooking youtube channel that directly inspired the Dizznee Triplets' channel in this fic and then I just translated the name to Irish because then it's different.

On Ao3 or below the cut!

    Amy snuggles her head deeper into the crook of Bex’s neck as though cuddling on the couch, TV softly playing an episode of Somebody Feed Phil they’ve both seen a thousand times, isn’t enough physical contact already. 

    “Who are you texting?” Natalie asks her girlfriend, watching her type in a fancy script that looks almost like Thai if you aren’t familiar with the Lost Cities’ runes. 

    “My horrible siblings,” Bex answers. 

    “Who started the memes this time?”

    “It’s just an idea for another video. You know how it is.”

    Amy plants a kiss on her cheek. “Do tell.”

    Bex gestures to the TV. “Obviously I’m stealing that.”

    Phil is eating seaweed tempura in Kinsale, Ireland, and the fact that Natalie knows where he is without having to check is a sign that she’s seen this episode a few too many times. Not like that’s gonna stop her. 

    “I didn’t think you were allowed to use a deep fryer.”

    “Air fryers exist, sweetheart.”

    “I didn’t know you had those in elflandia.”

    “We don’t. I’m going to be borrowing ours if nobody’s come up with a better idea by tomorrow.”

    “Borrowing or stealing?” Amy asks, already knowing the answer. 

    “I paid for it. I can’t steal what’s already mine.”

    “Using the credit card I signed up for.”

    “That’s only because I don’t have a human birth certificate. Or a social security number. That makes it a bit difficult to pay for things without drawing attention.”

    “I know. I just wanted to hear you say it.” Natalie smiles.

    “I hate you,” Bex says, smiling, and goes back to texting her siblings. Amy’s not sure which of the three are on that group chat, but it’s not important enough to ask. And Dex has probably blocked all of them anyway, so it probably isn’t xem. 

    “I hate you too,” Natalie replies automatically, watching the last five minutes of the episode, the absolute best part of the entire show. Other than maybe “that’s not chicken” in Mexico City. Not sure what it really was. Not sure she wants to know. 

    Amy’s phone buzzes with a text, and checks it, expecting to find one of her friends sending her some dumb thing they found on tumblr five minutes ago and apparently she didn’t check her DMs soon enough. 

    However, it’s not any of her friends. It’s her mother. She curses under her breath.

    Bex makes an inquisitive sound.

    “My parents have decided to drop in on us. Again.”

    “How long do I have before I have to hide this time?” Bex sighs. 

    “Eh, you got like forty-five minutes plus any additional traffic.”

    “So, considering California traffic, it’ll be like…three hours?”

    Amy laughs. “You’re finally learning!”

    “I’m not an idiot, you know.”

    “Well, some days you’re clueless.”

    To that, Bex says something in the Enlightened Language, and while Amy knows a little, she doesn’t know this exact translation. However, she does know her girlfriend well enough to get the jist. 

    Amy suggests, “You might want to text Lex and Rex and let them know you’ll be bothering them later today.”

    “Actually, I’m afraid I’ve been thinking,” Bex says, an idea etched into her features. 

    “A dangerous pastime.”

    “I know. But we’ve been living together for…how long?”

    “What day is it?”

    Bex has to check, answering, “April 30th.”

    “And the second semester started in early January so,” Amy counts the months on her fingers, “it’s been four? Months? Ish?”

    “Plus, your parents haven’t dropped in unannounced for several weeks because of spring break and all that fun.”

    “Okay…” Amy says, already knowing where this is going.

    “So maybe I don’t go into hiding this time.”

    “I don’t know.” But what Natalie does know is that once Bex’s gotten an idea into her head, there’s no such thing as changing her mind. 

    “Hey, in the words of the one who started the whole queer elf movement, you’ve tolerated me this long. What’s the worst that can happen?”

    “Excuse me, perhaps you’ve forgotten, I was at fault for xem realizing that xe’s gay, so clearly I have a hand in starting the movement. And you do too. You egged Fitzy’s tunic. None of this would’ve happened without us. Xe brings this up at least once a week. It’s been eight years. Please give xem a new conversation starter.”

    “I have tried.”

    “Not nearly enough.”  

    Bex pauses, taking a breath. “So what do you say? About meeting your parents, I mean.”

    Maybe it’s Bex asking nicely or maybe it’s her ever so slight smile that makes Amy’s heart start beating faster every time it shows itself, but Natalie concedes, “You know, it would be really on brand for us to throw this together. Why not?”

    “Because then I won’t have a good reason to tell my parents ‘no’ the next time they want to meet you.”

    “Shut up. You brought up the whole freaking idea.”

    “That doesn’t prevent me from arguing.”

    Amy kisses her, because that’s worth a shot. Also because bedhead Bex is adorable.

    “I see what you’re doing,” Bex whispers. 

    “No, you don’t.”

    “So you’re not doing this to make me shut up?”

    “Nope. That’s just a natural byproduct.”

    Bex doesn’t believe that for a second, but kisses her again anyway. 

    Natalie pulls away after not even close to long enough, saying, “Okay, I’ve got to go get the fastest shower I can manage. Don’t want my parents to think I’m a disheveled mess.”

    “But that’s exactly what you are.”

    “It’s all about appearances, honey.” Amy stands up, beginning to walk towards their bedroom. I mean there isn’t a built-in closet, so legally it’s not a bedroom, but it’s used as one. There’s a bed in a room. 

    “Do you have any pre-planned plans for dinner?” Bex asks, and Natalie swings back around. 

    She sighs. “Oh no. That’s your ‘I have an idea’ look.” 

   “Come on, it’s not too bad. On a scale of one to Squishmallow Adventures, it’s only like a three.”

    “What’s your idea?” Amy asks dejectedly. 

    “Considering my YouTube channel, I think it’d be pretty pathetic if I didn’t make dinner for us,” answers Bex. 

    That’s…actually a good idea. 

    “I’m not cleaning up after you if you think you’re gonna strike that deal.” 

    “Fine.”

    Natalie takes a moment to think. “That was my only counterargument. Just don’t make something weird.”

    “If you don’t want weird, why do we bother living together?”

    “You’re cute,” Amy says, turning back around. She takes the fastest shower in her lease’s history, throws on her favorite magenta jean jacket, and hair still damp, she ventures over to the small almost-kitchenette to see if she can help or annoy Bex with anything. 

    She finds Bex dicing a tomato, while something is boiling in a pot and something else is cooking in a saucepan on the only two burners that actually work. 

    Natalie slips her arms around her girlfriend’s waist, planting a kiss on her cheek, causing Bex to laugh. 

    “If you want all my fingers to stay attached, you’ll let me cut the tráta without distracting me.”

    Amy smiles at Bex’s language slip. “The word is tomato.”

    “That’s what I said,” Bex snaps. 

    You go on believing that. “How can your favorite sous chef help you today?”

    “You are certainly more tolerable than Lex and Rex. Stir the noodles for me, will you?”

    Bex’s Elvin accent doesn’t slip through too often, but when it does it sounds almost Irish. It’s difficult to hear considering that most of the time Natalie’s hiding from the kitchen to make sure nothing gets burned by her sheer presence. 

    Amy stirs the fettuccine noodles around, not losing her security deposit in the process. 

    “So, what are we making today?”

    “Fettuccine Alfredo. I’m sure you could’ve guessed that from the sauce but I guess it could be fancy mac and cheese. Which, you know, it kind of is. Except it has no mac and no cheese. At least the sauce is usually cheese-based. This one isn’t but, you know. I’m not gonna tell you what’s in it because it’s one of your favorites and telling you would ruin all of that.”

    “And the tomato?”

    “Salad course, of course.”

    “And why are you prepping the salad now? We still have a good fifteen minutes.”

    “Because everything else is cooking and I still have to get dressed. Also, can you stir the sauce for me?”

    Natalie does as asked. 

    “Plus, if I asked you to make the salad, you would chop off your fingers and then give everyone a mountain of croutons and call it good enough.” 

    “There might be some dressing on them…”

    Bex sticks the salads, noticeably without croutons or dressing, the best parts of a salad, into the fridge, and asks, “Can I trust you to make the garlic bread if I go throw some clothes on?”

    “Yeah, absolutely,” Amy answers, knowing full well that she shouldn’t be trusted. 

    “And don’t let the cauliflower in the oven burn. I’ll know if you throw it away.”

    “I’m only agreeing to this because I love you.”

    Bex smiles before running away, and Natalie is left trying to grow an extra arm between stirring the noodles, keeping the sauce from burning to the pan, buttering the garlic bread, and a beeping oven. 

    She takes the cauliflower out of the oven with a hot pad, and places it on the back burners so it doesn’t brand a pan-shaped divot in the laminate countertops. 

    She’s garlic powdering and parsleying the breads when Bex says, “Okay, I’m back,” and Amy feels more relief than she should to be supervised again. 

    “Cool.”

    “Does my hair look terrible?” Bex asks. 

    Natalie turns around, fluffing the back a little bit. “Nah.”

    “You wouldn’t be messing with it if it didn’t.”

    “And you’re gonna keep messing with it so I don’t know why I even bother.”

    “Me neither.” Amy brushes a loose strand of hair behind Bex’s ear. “You’re very pretty today, honey.”

    Bex smiles before pulling away to stick the garlic bread in the oven. 

    Ungrateful jerk. 

    “I didn’t know how long or what temperature, so…” Natalie says. 

    Bex sighs. “You make me do all the work around here.”

    “Well, it does take a lot of effort being this cute.”

    “Yeah, you go on believing that,” Bex mutters, and Amy chooses to have not heard that.

    After setting the timer, Bex notices that our time before we’re invaded is almost up, so she goes to clear and set the table, cursing about how Dex’s gadgets have somehow made their way into our apartment. 

    Meanwhile, Natalie wanders over to the door. 

    Bex takes this moment of calm before the storm, asking, “Wanna place bets on whether or not they hate my recipe?”

    “Five bucks says they’ll love it. And you.” Amy laughs, mentally running the conversion from US dollars to lusters, and it becomes all too apparent that it’s nothing compared to the immense wealth every elf has.

    Someone knocks on the door behind Natalie, dragging her out of her thoughts, and she sends a death glare to Bex, begging her to behave. She doubts it’s very effective.

    Taking a breath, she opens the door and barely manages, smiling, “Hi Mom and Dad,” before getting pulled into a group hug.

    Amy sees Bex wave awkwardly out of the corner of her eye, and it’s enough to get a little bit of breathing room.

    “Who’s your friend?” Mom asks me, fully aware this is not a platonic relationship. 

    “This is Bex, and she’s my girlfriend,” Natalie answers, causing her poor girlfriend to get swarmed and absorbed into a hug midstride. “Sorry, not sorry.”

    She glares at Amy, and she knows she’s gonna be hearing about this later. Bex is allowed to breathe again after like twenty seconds, just so Mom can ask, “So, how did you two meet?”

    “Her brother is a friend of mine,” Amy replies with their pre-decided answer so they don’t get into the messiness of elves. 

     Bex still chooses to argue. “Yes, but xe still refused to give you my number so you came over and asked me out in person. Magnate Leto was so mad.”

    “I’m convinced you thought I was losing my mind.”

    “You say that like I don’t anymore.”

    “Well, the feeling is mutual, so…” Natalie shrugs. 

    Bex escapes and finishes setting the table with silverware without threatening Amy further, to everyone’s, including her own, surprise.

    She asks, “Can I have everyone’s preferred dressing for your salads? We have ranch, Italian, French, and maybe red wine vinegar in the back of the fridge somewhere but I make no promises.”

    Natalie looks at her, nodding. “I think you know me well enough.” Amy has drunk ranch directly from the bottle before. And once, it wasn’t even on a dare. 

    Mom orders French while Dad orders Italian, and it’s barely a minute before Bex comes back with their salad plates. 

    Natalie watches her walk back and forth, praying she remembers not to phase through the little kitchen island. She and her parents sit down in the seats they were unintentionally assigned. 

    Mom takes the opportunity to ask, “So how long have you two been together?”

    Amy and Bex make eye contact, trying to remember if that’s what they just calculated and proceeded to forget not even an hour ago. Natalie saves the both of them by saying, “We met near the end of last year. I don’t know how many months that is and I can’t count that high.”

    Bex smiles. “Yeah, although she didn’t come and get my number until like August. I’m surprised she wasn’t able to annoy my brother enough for xem to give her my number, because xe was able to get rid of both of us at the same time.”

    “I asked Soph and he said Dex regrets all of xor life decisions.”

    “That better not include FedEx because some of us are emotionally invested.”

    “Literally all of us are emotionally invested,” Natalie corrects. “But I will ask Soph because as the creator of the ship name I am the official president of the fan club.”

    “Biana’s not going to be happy about that.”

    “Biana can shut aer mouth. We had an agreement.”

    “That doesn’t mean ae is happy about it.”

    Amy turns to her parents. “I’m sorry. You have no idea who any of these people are.”

    Bex takes the salad plates once Natalie’s finally done eating the mountain of croutons she was given, and drains and sauces the noodles back in the kitchen. 

    Amy explains, “Dex is Bex’s brother, and, yes, their names rhyme on purpose. Her other two siblings rhyme too. Her father thinks he’s hilarious, or at least that’s what I’ve been told. I haven’t been allowed to meet her parents yet. And then Soph is her cousin and the reason I was introduced to these people.”

    Bex brings out the garlic breads, and Natalie tries to take one and only succeeds in burning herself. 

    Rude. I make you and then you betray me like this?

    “And then Dex is dating Fitz,” Amy continues, “and we are all watching their relationship like it’s a reality TV show. And then Biana is Fitzy’s sistaer. Eventually you learn to keep track of them. I’m not sure when that will be but I’ve been told it’ll happen eventually.”

    Bex brings out steaming plates of food, smiling and saying, “Amy always says her favorite dinner is your fettuccine alfredo, so I did my best.”

    “Sit down and stop groveling. I’m sure it’s delicious and not just because I already taste tested it,” Natalie says, digging into her dinner. 

    “Amyy--”

    “You can’t just enlist me as your sous chef and expect me not to eat your food.”

    Bex can’t formulate a response. Or at least one that isn’t laced with expletives. So she sits down to try her own cooking. 

    Holy crap, this fettuccine alfredo is really freaking good. 

    “And just like that, two Dizznees are regretting their life decisions. Wonder if I can make it all four.”

    “Well, the other two are straight and aroace so I’d like to see you try.”

    “Challenge accepted,” Natalie says. “Also, Lex is liking aroace right now?”

    “Yep. Although I’m not sure if it’ll last any longer than grayaro so don’t get too attached to it yet.”

    “I’m sorry to interrupt, but this is very good, Bex,” Dad says, and Mom nods in agreement. 

    Amy looks at Bex.

    “Oh, I know that look,” Mom says. “Someone just lost a bet.”

    Bex slides Natalie five dollars she stores in her pocket because that’s kind of helpful in San Diego, undoubtedly with a mental monologue ranting about how this is a rigged system. 

    “My parents literally put a bet on whether or not my brother was gay,” she says bitterly.

    Dad snort-laughs, and tries to cover it, unsuccessfully, with a cough.

    Amy adds, “At least that’s what we’ve been told by Lex. Not sure if I trust them that much though.”

    “Okay, yeah, that’s fair,” Bex justifies. 

    Natalie gets up to refill her glass of water--the fancy kind that gets taken out only for special occasions, which allows Mom to stare into Bex’s soul and ask, quietly, “How did you get her to willingly eat C-A-U-L-I-F-L-O-W-E-R?”

    “I can spell, Mom,” Amy says as she comes back to the table. 

    Bex, however, laughs, answering, “It’s a daily struggle. Most of the time hiding the vegetables works best. Or bribery. Which kind of defeats the whole purpose.”

    “I’m just saying, chocolate covered raisins count as fruit.”

    “And they’re also coated in sugar.”

    “Dark chocolate has health benefits. I don’t remember what they are but they definitely exist. I read it somewhere.”

    “Don’t even start with that. You like the milk chocolate ones. Because you like to be difficult.”

    “I beg to differ.”

    Bex smirks. “Then beg.”

    Natalie buries her head in her hands. “Why did I give you a tumblr account?”

    “You and I both know I would’ve figured out how to make one even if you didn’t.”

    “Exile, some days I hate modern technology.”

    “And so does everyone else on that hellsite. What’s your point?”

    “I…have completely forgotten. But speaking of modern technology, Bex here has a YouTube channel with half a million subs.”

    “Wow. That was such a smooth transition,” Bex remarks sarcastically. 

    Amy ignores her. “And as the PR person she never asked for, it’s An Piorra Sásta and if you want more recipes like this one, you should subscribe.”

   Bex is completely focused on her plate, blushing softly. 

   Both Mom and Dad aren’t sure how to respond to that either.

   “She also has a website and a Facebook page,” Natalie adds. 

    Bex looks at her. “I knew about the website but Facebook? Since when.”

    Amy’s phone is out under the table, setting the page up. “...Yep. As of five seconds ago…And I’m your first follower. Is that even what you call it? I should know, but I don’t.”

    “You have my facebook password?”

    “Uh, I set up your account. Also Google stored it for me.”

    Bex smiles. “Now that makes more sense.”

    The oven beeps again, and Bex whips around to see why. Amy can tell she’s wondering if she remembered to turn it off, and because the results are inconclusive, she stands up to go check. 

    Meanwhile, Natalie is laughing silently because her master plan is all coming together. And it didn’t get noticed when Bex opened the oven to put the garlic bread in or take it out.

    Bex turns around, glaring at Amy with her hands on her hips. 

    “Well don’t let it burn,” Natalie says, making Bex sigh before taking it out and double check that there aren’t any more surprises in the oven. 

    “I’m gonna let this dump cake cool for a second so someone doesn’t burn herself on it.” 

    Dump cake is a family recipe, and it is the easiest recipe you’re gonna find. Step one, you find a can of apple pie filling and dump it in a relatively flat layer into this incredibly specific pan that broke Thanksgiving before last. We got a new one last Christmas from eBay so everything’s fine now. A 9” x 13” or 9” round pan will also work.

    Then you take a box of cake mix, and open it, making sure to struggle with the kitchen scissors because you’re left-handed until you give up and just stab it with a knife. Then you’re gonna dump the cake mix on top of the apples and put some pats of butter on top because it wasn't unhealthy enough already. 

    This is when you realize you should’ve preheated your oven to 350F, and once it’s ready, you stick the pan in the oven. How long to cook it is anyone’s guess. 

    “There’s a reason it’s also known as done enough cake,” Amy says, and stands, bringing her empty pasta plate with her, up to get herself some. “And that reason is because I have no self-control and I need my dump cake.”

    Bex doesn’t attempt to stop Natalie, because she knows from experience that if she does, there’s an increased chance of getting a fork in the eye. 

    She was bitten once by Amy while playing spoons, so there’s no guarantee. You would think she would be used to that after growing up with Lex and Rex, but apparently she has retained some instinct that says ‘getting bitten is not ideal’. 

    Natalie jams her plate into the dishwasher, and gets a little bowl from an upper cabinet, stuffing it with dangerously hot dump cake.

    “If you overfill the bowl, you know there won’t be any left for breakfast tomorrow,” Bex warns, barely out of the danger zone. 

    “Unless I make more.”

    “Do we even have that many apples?” Bex asks, concerned for Amy’s sanity. 

    “Not in the slightest,” Natalie answers, trying the littlest bit. She mostly succeeds in burning her mouth, but other than that, it’s really good. 

    Amy decides to be nice and get everyone else some instead of just squirreling all of it away. 

    When she tries to give some to Bex, though, Bex says, “Can you stick mine in the fridge for tomorrow?”

    Natalie argues, “There is always room for dump cake.”

    “I meant for you. Do you know how much sugar is in there?”

    “Oh, come on, honey, you have to enjoy eating sometimes.”

    “You and I both know that much sugar will not be good for me. I’ll be real hyper in like an hour. You can cite as many studies as you want, but I will not be able to sleep this decade if I just blindly trust you.”

    “Fine then. More for me.” Amy becomes immediately protective of her newly acquired breakfast, storing it in the back of the fridge for safety purposes.

    The rest of dinner passes without any disasters, which is to say it went wonderfully. At sunset, the attempts to leave begin, and it’s nearly an hour later before everyone is actually standing with a foot out the door. 

    “Bex, may I have a word?” Dad asks. 

    “Ooh, threatening Dad speech,” Natalie taunts. 

    Bex smiles, agreeing.

    They step as far away as they can manage in this little 500 square foot apartment. They’re still very within earshot, but Amy and her Mom choose to pretend like they aren’t. 

    “She seems lovely,” Mom says.  

    Thank the stars. Why was I worried about approval in the first place?

    “I know she takes a little getting used to.”

    “I can tell you love her. Now. When can I expect your wedding invites?”

    “Mom!”

    “Kidding.” She scoops her daughter up into a hug. “Mostly.”

    Dad sees he’s missing out, and makes this into a group hug, dragging a mildly unwilling Bex over in the process. 

    It’s a good minute before it unravels. After another two minutes of goodbyes, Mom and Dad leave, while Amy and Bex wave from the doorway. 

    Natalie’s parents turn down a hallway, and she closes the door. She makes eye contact with Bex, and they both let out a delirious laugh. 

    “Exile, how badly did that go?” Bex asks. 

    “My mother is countering down the days until she gets an invite to our wedding, so I’d say it went fairly well.”

    “Oh stars, you and I both know mine would be too. And I’m sure Biana’s already planned it.”

    “Yeah, we just have to agree to tolerate each other for the rest of our lives. Which, you know,” Natalie shrugs. 

    “‘Til death do us part’ says the human.”

    “Hey just because you have that fancy infinite lifespan or whatever doesn’t mean I’ll be the first one to go.”

    “Thanks.”

    “I didn’t say it was a good outcome, just that it was one.”

    “What are you, a Technopath?”

    “As someone who did one drag and drop hour of code thingy five years ago, yes.”

    Bex fakes a gasp. “Such qualifications.”

    Amy smiles and pulls her into a kiss. “I love you.”

    “Love you too, sweetheart.” Bex kisses her again. “Even if you do taste like dump cake.”

[undonefm]

hello everyone ! first of all, we want to thank every person who took the time to apply here. we have been floored with the attention and talent that found its way to us. without all of you, this would still be an idea in our heads. thank you, so, so much for your time and effort, and please know that any decisions made here in no way reflect your abilities in any shape.

if you were not accepted in this round, we want to ask you to please consider trying again! we will be holding a secondary acceptance, as planned, tomorrow at 6 pm. if you want or need any feedback on your apps when it comes to these two open roles, please reach out to us and we will do our very best to help you.

below the cut you will find the first round of acceptances for undonefm. congratulations to everyone who has been accepted. please im the main off of the blog you applied from, and a mod will send you the discord link (though do please have some patience with us as it is past our collective bedtimes).

CONGRATULATIONS... you're back on the suspect list !

bex, for muse a as sydney sweeney. 

we loved the thought you gave to her relationships post-shannon’s-disappearance, especially the interaction with her younger sister. in particular, lottie's secret (listen, bex, when i tell you i had such an evil grin reading charlie’s secret, i felt like i grinched out a bit on mod b). that'll stay between us three four though. for now. 

macy, for muse e as dina denoire.

macy, even if you were the only muse e applicant, do not, for a moment, think that was some saving grace at play here. the attention you to every aspect of her family, extended and otherwise, as well as her alibi ; the gentleness of her desperately trying to cling to friends intent upon divorcing themselves from tragedy and tribulation ; the last line. every part of your app was perfection, and we so enjoyed reading it. we just hope ingrid’s acting skills are in pristine condition under all of this pressure.

xav, for muse f as tbd.

you gave us so much room to play around and as admins, we are thrilled. we didn't expect this skeleton to try and take shan's place as local it girl, but you certainly wrote the one person who could. reading through your wanted connections was better than any soap opera i’ve ever seen, in the best possible way. ours jaws hit the floor with each one, and now we find ourselves on the edge of our seats to see what sasha gets up to in the cove. 

sid, for muse g as nin duijkers.

sid, this character leapt off the screen at us, and it was almost immediate how well you understood the assignment. you put so much attention to detail in your wanted connections, that we had to wonder if maybe you had read our minds when we wondered about how g operates inside rose cove. you really let us in vivi’s head with her interactions with shannon, and now we can’t wait to see what conclusions she comes to when she starts pulling all of those threads. 

peach, for muse h as khadijha red thunder.

i promised mod b i wouldn’t turn this into a sonnet, but that’s gong to be hard. your aesthetics painted a picture before we could even really begin your app, and every line we read after that just cemented how well you understand this character, peach. we were laughing, nodding our heads at every little one liner, screaming at the injustice, and by the end, we were ready to be her alibi (and willing to burn the footage of her smashing pageant trophies behind the local grocery store parking lot). there wasn’t one thing we did not adore, and we cannot wait to see ginny in action. 

juniper, for muse i as midori francis.

first of all, how dare you send us two beautiful apps that were that hard to choose between? we nearly ki(ll)ssed you. the truth is, we could feel how much you connected with birdie, juniper. she is naive and loyal and REALLY observant, and the way you explained her sort of hero worship of shannon just made so much sense for this skeleton. hands down, our favorite part was the tie in with birdie’s nickname, and we even made the joke that shannon thought she was very clever when she said a little birdie told her a secret. we can’t help but wonder if she is still paying attention, though. 

di, for muse j as zhou jieqiong.

di, nothing in this world makes more sense to us than luna being a journalist. you gave her this insecurity that really drives that golden facade she wears around, and we enjoyed how you played with her curiosity in her wanted plots. of course, that led us to wonder what the rest of rose cove would think if they knew their local good girl is digging into other residents to save her own skin. 

duckie, for muse l as jordan connor. 

you were our first app, and you held on with us the entire time, didn’t you? we are so glad you did because we love the dark mystery preston brings to the table. if anyone in town were to figure out his secret, we all know how guilty the new guy would look, and that excites us more than we can say. you really nailed down the vibe we were going for with your aesthetics, and as admins we can’t thank you enough for giving us so much to work with pertaining to his alibi. let’s hope he can stay out of the spotlight as long as possible.
