Thinking so so hard abt selkie marcia au rn

#sep talks #marcia overstrand #selkie marcia au #she put it in a box the night she became eow and didn't look at it again until they had to leave via rubbish chute #and right before they all went in she was like WAIT HANG ON and disappeared into her room for 2 minutes and comes back with what looks like #just. A fur coat. And silas is like marcia wgat the FUCK we waited for u so u could go get ur fur coat??? The hell????? #and she's like well u see if I lose this I will simply kill myself (only half exaggerating) #she takes it w her when she does her transport back to the castle. Fortunately dd doesn't know what it is but unfortunately #that means it ends up on the street outside dn1 instead of With Marcia where it should be #she panics to alther abt this and he gets someone to go collect it for her when she gets out but she's still panicking abt it for basically #the whole time she's in dn1. And then the whole time she's on the ship #bc if she just had her coat!! She wouldn't be trapped!!!! She could just put it on and swim away!!!!!!!! #BUT NO #she doesn't get it back until silas+co come back to the cottage #and silas is like well here's ur fucking. Coat?? Idk why u wanted it so badly it doesn't even look that nice #(it's in a box for safekeeping at this point) #and marcia snatches it off him and has a brief moment where she debates transforming right there and then #she decides against it but he catches her sneaking out of the cottage with it that night anyway #he follows her bc like. It Does make sense she'd want to be outside after dn1 but also its the middle of the night??? #and then he sees her turn into a seal and is like oh my god. That explains so much #and then they have to talk abt it and its awkward bc neither of them want to talk abt sensitive topics w each other #it is a very brief conversation involving marcia threatening silas w murder if he ever tells anyone #and silas going jesus christ who do u think I am I'm not just going to tell everyone abt this?? I don't hate u that much??? #and then marcias like well I'm going to go disappear into the ocean for 1-5 business days congrats u get to invent an excuse for me #and then disappears into the ocean #and then after a few days she goes back to being eow and never talks abt being a selkie with anyone ever again #the end <333 #actually that was a lie septimus finds out bc one time the heating in the tower isn't working right and the fire isn't enough #so marcia decides (since sep is w his parents) to just be a seal for the day bc at least it'll be warm #and then she loses track of time and septimus gets home and there is panicked screaming on both sides before alther steps in to explain
