Outlines for the olwy spinoffs
Lydia and Sarah present: What Could Have Been
[or: our more or less verbatim notes on the stories for olwyverse we were planning, listed more or less in the order we were going to write them]
Our doubts are traitors - Peter’s tumblr
Chapter 5: 9 - 14
Balth and peter ignoring ea/o, repairing relationship, all those cute moments where peter is freaking out internally but just Really Really cares about balth
Co Drunk AMA with Jaquie
Missing moment = Jaquie and Peter getting drunk together
Post movie night -- talk about how ridiculous flatmates are--Talk about magic?
“Denying something isn’t going to magically make the problem go away” - “stfu i don’t want to talk about this” - change of subject but elephant in room, setting up for faustus character development
Chapter 6: Faustus
Talking about play, hyping up play
Missing moment = after party with Jaquie and Costa
Chapter 7: Faustus - 15 (clusterfuck around magic thing)
Missing moment = conversation with Rosa
Trying to get him to understand balth’s situation
Coming to terms with the whole magic thing
Chapter 8: 15 - end of the fic
Peter missing balth
Missing moment = when Balthazar gets back from Auckland, conversation, fluff
Can’t be sure it’s going to work out but it’s worth trying anyway
Talking about rosa leaving: “i’m sorry you had to leave her but i’m glad you could stay”, dealing with the grief of losing his entire people
Talk about the whole elf thing, peter’s opinions about magic (has a lot of work to do, needs to come to terms with accidentally hurting balth/dealing with that)
Relationship, if they want to try a long term relationship, not sure if it’s the best/smartest thing but they want to try anyway (addressing insecurities?)
Not with the eyes but with the mind - Chelsaige
Both povs
When they met + the beginnings of their relationship
Lock eyes across the crowd at one of the gatherings
C: “can i buy you a drink?” P: “i don’t drink” C: “great, me neither!”
Chelsey shows paige her tree, first time paige shows chelsey her music
Melancholy convo about lifespans, “i want a future with you, no matter how long that’s going to be”
Talking about having their own place and starting a garden together one day
Flower imagery
Sweet are the uses of adversity - Manderking
Text fic! + six irl scenes where they meet (Jaquie POV)
Jaquie slips number into freddie’s purse at faustus, freddie almost doesn’t text her but then decides to on a whim (like how often is she spontaneous and just does things because they fall into her lap?? Like why the fuck not, let’s do something for HER for a change)
Neither of them really expect it to go anywhere except when it does start jaquie is charmed by how easily flustered Freddie gets [honestly how can she not, it’s kind of adorable] and Freddie thinks jaquie is… one of the funniest people she’s ever talked to?
Plus their differing views on magic result in some interesting debates. Mostly it ends up in jaquie gently pushing her toward her side though because jaquie is very persuasive when she wants to be
Both of them find this new acquaintanceship… refreshing
They start texting hardcore, as in, like, every single day
Jaquie flirts bc jaquie has no chill; Freddie tries to be chill that cute girl is flirting with her but very clearly isn’t
1st IRL scene - Jaquie hangs with peter at the flat, freddie runs into them by accident
Freddie lowkey pretends she hasn’t been texting her nonstop for a week but jaquie ruins that by making eyes at her
Afterward Peter is like “doth mine eyes deceive me?? Does Jaquie have a crush on one of my flatmates????”
“Oh my fucking god shut up”
Pete is just delighted that he finally has ammunition against Jaquie for teasing him about Balth
2nd IRL scene - study date
Set up - j texting about being bored, f is studying, jaquie’s like “ooh that’s better than nothing i can totally help you study” and fred’s like “I really doubt you’d be of much help” but she also tells her she’s at the library so jaquie just takes it as confirmation that she can come
Freddie’s freaking out over an exam or essay or something and jaquie actually does help her calm down
Maybe there’s some very platonic and soothing hand holding i dunno. At some point jaquie says, quietly, “you’ve got this,” and Freddie nods and steels herself and crushes this thing she has to work on
Jaquie is absolutely not a proud girlfriend. She is a proud platonic friend at best
3rd IRL scene - Jaquie complains about work, freddie decides to surprise visit her at the bar to cheer her up
“How do you know where I work???” “Um you work with Peter right? I just asked him”
Jaquie is, like, knocked on her ass
Cute girl asked about her workplace and came all this way just to cheer her up? Fuuuuuuuck
The moment where Jaquie is like “holy shit i like her”
4th IRL scene - watching/shit-talking shitty movies together
Basically their first hang out that is planned and not spontaneous
Their one scene in the show is watching a movie; freddie’s thing is shitty movies; jaquie’s thing is shit-talking; could we make it more obvious
It’s in Freddie’s room and it’s TOTALLY NOT A DATE
But it’s dark and jaquie is sitting really close to Freddie and at some point she puts her arm around Freddie and Freddie doesn’t push it off and then they’re kind of cuddling and jaquie is slowly dying a little
Probably at some point the movie ends and they lock eyes and just kind of stare at each other for a while in the dark silence and they can kind of tell that there’s something there but neither of them are brave enough to make that next step so jaquie’s like “... i should go home” and Freddie just says “okay” and… that’s that
Freddie fucks up [chapter 15], doesn’t text jaquie for like a day after which really worries Jaquie because they’ve been texting constantly every day for the last like month
Finally Freddie texts her like “I fucked up”
5th IRL scene - jaquie comes over and comforts her
Afterward, texting w increasing romantic tension that both of them can feel but neither of them really call out [especially since neither of them are really talking about the Clusterfuck] so they’re both just like Hardcore Suffering
Finally freddie is about leave for her parents house, doesn’t know if she’ll return to Wellington, texts jaquie her good byes but jaquie doesn’t reply bc she is hauling ass to freddie’s house
Fred is all busy being sad that jaquie won’t answer and then she opens the door and is totally rendered speechless because cute girl on doorstep?
Breathlessly, jaquie says “i think we should date!”
Freddie: “?!?!?!?!?!?!” Still incapable of human speech
Jaquie says in a rush something to the effect of “listen like i know i’m sort of an asshole sometimes and i know you get easily freaked out but you’re really sweet and funny and beautiful and we work really well together and i wasn’t going to say anything because i want to respect your boundaries but you’re going and i don’t know when the next time i’ll get to see you is and i don’t want you to leave without knowing that I - “
Freddie still can’t speak lol she just repeats kind of dumbly “knowing that you what?” Her heart is beating so fucking fast
Jaquie’s like “can i - can i kiss you?”
Commence literally the gayest kiss the world has ever seen
And jaquie whispers, “Will you be my girlfriend?” And Freddie just smiles and says, “I thought you’d never ask” or something equally sappy and terrible and it’s super gay and then they ride off into a gay sunset
What fools these mortals be - Kit (aka the loss highlights reel)
Significant years in his life
Bad experience with a family--warded against fae w/o knowing he was one
Confirmation of being aroace
Exploration of beginnings and being banished from the fae
Background to kit’s motivation in ch15
“Oh brother” background
Background to convo with balth in ch14
“In my vast experience,” Kit adds, “it doesn’t always matter when you leave. Sometimes, it feels like seeing them die kills you, too. Sometimes every last moment you have with them is worth all the ones you don’t. Sometimes it takes a year to smile again. Sometimes it takes three hundred. But if you leave now, or if you stay watch them fade over the course of the century, it doesn’t matter. It hurts, you cry, you mend, you smile. That’s just the way it is, man.”
All of our secrets are out now oops. If there’s anything about this verse that you’re curious about, feel free to send us an ask. -L+S
