Hecate: It states in your file that you’re creative?

Mildred: Yes

Hecate: And what is it that you create?

Mildred: Trouble

now can finally talk about this fic i did for the gift exchange now that the creators are no longer secret 👀👀👀

mumbroom enemies to lovers!!!

After an unfortunately timed emergency in their flat, Julie and Mildred have to find somewhere else to spend Christmas. Hecate, their unwilling host, has to confront her conflicting feelings about Julie Hubble head-on while attempting to keep both Hubbles out of trouble.

HAND ON HEART i never set out to write a full-on novella-length fic for this gift exchange. RECEIPT BELOW.

1-2k? TRY 21k, past heathcliff. the concept just couldn't really fit into a shorter length fic so uhhh i basically kept writing until the plot resolved into a nice ending??? i had actually planned to do another in-story day, but i felt like leaving it a bit open-ended was acceptable, considering that there's so much of it already and like, it actually takes time to read a fic like this (less time than to write it oh my STARS.)

if you have any time at all over the festive period to read, i would love to hear what you thought of this! comments are the best gifts ever 💖

anyway merry christmas everyone!! 🎄

Okay it’s purely coincidence that my two most favourite ships both consist of a magical/ otherworldly brunette and an ordinary blonde with an attitude problem….

Maybe I just like blondes with attitudes.

When Julie Hubble hits upon an idea to help Indigo Moon adjust to life in the twenty-first century, Ada Cackle thinks it's brilliant. She just has one teensy little favor to ask...

Hoping to repair her relationship with Indigo, Hecate Hardbroom reluctantly agrees to join Indy and the Hubbles on their summer holiday - a looming disaster if ever there was one. It's cramped quarters and short tempers, but maybe, just maybe, Hecate might be on the road to family and forgiveness that she'd never dared to dream about.

Mumbroom sketch from insta

Julie : You often use humor to deflect trauma 
Hecate : Thank you 
Julie : I didn't say that was a good thing 
Hecate : What I'm hearing is, you think I'm funny

With You: Part 1- Happy Accidents 

Hecate Hardbroom was a distant person who closed off her heart for fear being hurt by others She had enough heartbreak to last a lifetime Indigo moon.. Pippa Pentangle.. Her father.. And Julie Hubble.

Indigo was her first real taste of true failure and it led to her downfall in relationships. Pippa followed soon after in her way to prove she could be a good witch and not a disgrace as her father and mother liked to call her. So when she met Julie Hubble and her heart stutterd at the sight of the curly blonde she was fearful. Not only was Julie an ordinary but far worse she was the mother of a pupil. The mother of one Mildred Hubble. Yet she could not get the fiery blonde out of her mind.

Shortly after their parents' night Hecate felt something she hadn’t felt in so long. In Julie's verbal lashing she felt oddly..intrigued. She couldn’t help but stare mouth agape as the beautiful blonde gave her a run for her money. She quickly regained control and composed her behavior but each reasoning was met with a rebuttal, using the witches code of all things. The witch’s code which the darker haired witch held so dear.

Now weeks later all she could recall was the blondes satisfied smirk at chastising her

Miss Hardbroom had tried her hardest to rid that image from her mind and slowly it was working

So the following term when she was told Miss Hubble would be replacing Miss Mould and teaching art, here at the academy. She tried her hardest to ensure that wouldn’t happen. It was bad enough after the freeze and halloween festivities she had made a fool of herself. 

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

After speaking to Mildred about her new found witching status she had vanished from the dining hall towards her private chambers. By the time it was time for her to do her nightly rounds she had found Julie Hubble ascending the stairs and Hecate whose magic was still recovering from the freeze finally gave out as she fell to her knees. Miss Hubble, pleasant as always, rushed over to help her; she scolded her once more for good measure and helped her back into her private quarters and put her to bed. Hecate too tired to protest slept as soon as her head hit her pillow barely managing to change into her nightgown and that too had earned her another telling off to stop exhausting herself by the blonde. She could only smile as she slept to dreams of her. 3 days later when she awoke she was met with the same blonde and once more she was met with another telling off

“Oh good you’re awake, would you like some tea?” Hecate shook her head, her embarrassment of Julie having seen her in such a state slowly creeping up on her “Are you alright?” Her question was met with another nod from the still in bed witch “Oh good, DO YOU HAVE ANY IDEA THE FRIGHT YOU GAVE ME! 3 days! You’ve been asleep for 3 days, I left you to sleep and when I went to go see if Miss Cackle could transfer me home, she was asleep too! As was Millie and everyone else! I certainly wasn goin to walk down the bloody mountain at night, so I slept on your couch, hope you don’t mind, but to my surprise neither you, nor Miss Cackle or Millie or the other girls who had been frozen were awake the following day. Dimity and Ms Bat were the ones to figure out what happened. The ice had drained you magic and while it was restored when the founding stone was relit, your bodies all went through so much, your magic took a toll.” “The students!” Hecate found herself finding her voice with worry for the school “They’re ok, their magic so new was able to recover faster, Millie woke first but the others who weren’t affected are doing good. Dimity called in Miss Pentangle to help cover your courses” “Ada?”

“She’s ok too, still sleeping last I checked” With her questions answered Hecete felt her nerves subside only to come back full speed at the realization she is still in her nightgown, in bed, hair a mess Julie having sensed her discomfort offered to go check on Miss Cackle leaving Miss Hardbroom to collect herself and her thoughts

‘She’d stayed’ it was all she could think about, after knowing Mildred was ok and knowing she wasn’t in any danger Julie Hubble still stayed and had been checking on her. By the look of her couch in the sitting area she’d also been sleeping here. Her heart stuttered at the thought of the beautiful blonde sleeping in her living quarters She shook herself of those thoughts and made to dress and cleaned herself to relieve Pippa of her duties.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

With the new term having started a couple weeks ago Hecate still did not accept Miss Hubble as the art teacher, even going as far to make her sit at a different table. She’d been told off later on for that one, away from the ears of the children and Hecate would be lying if that hadn’t fueled some dreams for her. She quickly thought better, knowing she would never feel the same and her heart ached at the fact.

Slowly though her desire to have Julie out of this school faded and instead she began looking forward to seeing her. She began to notice things, the way her smile was always wide and charming. The way her hair in the sunlight made it look like she was glowing. Miss Hubble, having noticed Miss Hardbroom had mellowed down had begun to direct her pleasantness to her and Hecate found it hard to snap when she was graced with that smile. She did however miss that fiery glint. Which is why she found herself outside the art room gathering her courage to annoy the blonde.

“Blimey must you always slam the doors you scared the hell out of me” Julie exclaimed having jumped causing the paintbrush she was holding to strike through the canvas she was currently sitting in front of “I did not slam the door, I merely…closed it with authority” The dark haired witch remarked with a slight twitch in her lips, however falling as she noticed Julie's painting of…her, now ruined The blonde sees her eye sullen at what her closing the door had done “There’s no worries, there’s no mistakes in art, simply..happy accidents” she reassured “How…quaint, is that supposed to resemble me?” “Oh” the blonde blushes looking down at her lap, “Yea sorry, I guess you’ve been my muse lately” Upon seeing the smaller woman blush she couldn’t help herself she reached her hand out to raise the others head and pushed a curl behind her ear to see her face more clearly She wasn’t sure what went through her mind but months of torment led her to kissing the blonde and to her great surprise she was kissing back, however her fear quickly took president and she pulled away abruptly “I- I Im so, ehm, I apologize, that was wildly inappropriate of me” and in a flick of her wrist she was gone to seclude herself in her room, already planning on avoiding dinner

“Oh no you don’t” Julie exhaled with resolve as she made her way out the art room up to Hecates room Immediately she knocked until the witch opened the door, her hair down and her face removed of makeup, and if it wasn’t for the tears Julie would say she looked incredibly beautiful Hecate stood there mouth agape and Julie set her face with determination and walked in right past her leaving her to close the door behind her and turn to look at the blonde staring at her with such intensity, she gulped “You kissed me- no it's my turn” She cut off when the other went to interrupt “for the past few weeks you’ve been trying to get me fired but then you look at me with those wonderful eyes and those smiles that make me melt and then you kiss me, and before I can even tell you how long I’ve wanted to do that, you walk off and leave me standing like a bloody school girl” “I-“ Hecate stammers not knowing what to say before Julie walks over to her, hands coming to her cheeks and kissing her with such fervor Hecate is backed onto the door She surrenders herself to what she’s wanted for months now kissing back, hoping Julie will not change her mind. Easing out of the kiss their foreheads resting together “You’ve been driving me insane ever since the freeze” “Try having to deal with your smiles and fiery determination since parents day” Hecate huffs Julie can only laugh before pulling Hecate down for another kiss, this one more passionate than the last “I knew it, I knew you were doing it on purpose, I could see your smiles after I’d tell you off” “You are quite the sight when angered Mzzz Hubble” “Julie.. call me Julie” she breaths as Hecate begins ravishing her neck “Julie..mmm I’d quite like to take you on..a..a date” Hecate finally manages “I'd like that” Julie replies pulling her back up for a kiss Hecate pulls back “then we can finish this after our date, say tomorrow night at 6?” “That’d be lovely but I'd rather you take me to bed now” Julie breaths nibbling on the witches ear lobe Hecate groans “You shall be the death of me, but that can be mm arranged” she barely manages before transferring herself and Julie onto the bed

the one common thing julie hubble and geraldine gullet from tww2017 could share is being paired with robson green at some point i mean-

Julie: Oh, I see, you came with your grumpy friend today.

Pippa: Hecate may be grumpy but she has a good heart.

Pippa: …
