ID: 1. Black screen. A single speech bubble that says "...Nandor?"

2a. Waist up of Guillermo, dressed the same but no longer appearing in ghost form, as he blinks his eyes open to a vast void of black. A single orb of light floats behind his head. Far behind him, light rippling out like water beneath his feet, is another Guillermo mirrored, back to the viewer. A larger orb of light floats by him. 2b. Shot over Guillermo's shoulder as he turns his head to look. 2c. Repeat, mirrored. The other Guillermo copies his movement and turns his head, a small smile on his face the only difference along with the blank whiteness of his eyes.

3a. Full body of the two Guillermo's facing each other in profile, light rippling out like water beneath their feet on the black void. They stare at each other for a moment, mirror Guillermo still smiling. A small orb of light sits low behind Guillermo; a large orb of light sits high behind the other. Between them, a swirling wall of ghostly light keeps them separated. 3b. Close up of Guillermo furrowing his brow and tilting his head with confusion, cautiously reaching his hand up, small orb of light rising behind him. 3c. Repeat, mirrored. Mirror Guillermo continues to follow his movements with a smile, large orb of light rising behind him.

4a. Shot of mirror Guillermo from Guillermo's point of view as he thrusts his hand out, palm up, in a welcoming gesture. Offering the hand with an encouraging smile, large orb bright behind his shoulder. 4b. Repeat, mirrored. Guillermo's hand also thrusts itself forward as if guided by something other than his will. He stares at his mirror, confused and curious, but not frightened. The small orb settles behind his elbow.

5a. Close up of the wall of light in profile as each Guillermo reaches toward the other with mirrored hands, strands of light blooming and curling around them as their fingers make contact. 5b. Repeat. Their hands press closer, palm to palm, but mirror Guillermo's hand has changed. It is now Nandor's.

6a. Zoom out, Guillermo whips his head up in surprise to see Nandor now standing on the other side of the wall, smiling calmly down at him and wearing the clothes from when they first met. Their hands press palm to palm at the barrier; the small orb floats behind Guillermo, and the large orb floats behind what now looks like Nandor. The light barrier zigzags downward, dividing the following panel. 6b. Close up of Nandor smiling warmly down at Guillermo, a deep affection shining in his eyes. He says, "Come home, Guillermo." 6c. Reverse shot, close up. On the other side of the wall of light, Guillermo stares back, silent and hopeful.

7a. The wall of light zigzags downward again to continue to separate them. Close up on their hands on either side again as their fingers curl and lace together; a decision made. The light barrier breaks around the contact. 7b. The black void, now with three glowing orbs of light, one large, two small. Glowing ribbons of lightning snap from one to the other to the next, connecting them all together.

8a. Back in the house; wide shot of Nadja sitting on one side of a low wood table, Nadja doll in her lap and Beaverdor placed on the table inside a ring of candles. On the other side, where ghost Guillermo had been sitting, a wailing swirl of ghostly light forms and shoots upward towards the ceiling. The candles blow out. Both Nadjas stare in surprise, thrown into deep contrast by the burst of light. 8b. Zoom out. Guillermo is gone along with the light, and the candles smoke gently. Nadja looks down at her doll, lip curled up nervously, and asks, "Was that supposed to happen?" Dolly grimaces and squints to the side, replying, "Erm... let's just say yes and call it a win." /end ID

My Famliar Ghost and My Chemical Romance have the same vibes as a title you knew? Like the way it sounds phonetically

[ID: Drawing of ghost Guillermo looking disgruntled, wearing a black tee shirt over his button down that reads “My Familiar’s Ghost” in the My Chemical Romance font. /end ID]

He loves it

If regular Nandor won’t…

ID: 1a. Close up on ghost Guillermo, lit by orange candlelight, as he stares intently at something in front of him. His ghostly light and wraith cloak are flaring out around him, forming the spectral outline of hands that wind around subsequent panels. 1b. Close up of Beaver Nandor, bloody blouse wrapped tied his shoulders, staring blackly back as Guillermo's light creeps into the edges of his panel. 1c. Extreme closeup of Guillermo's eyes tightening - concentration with a desperate edge. The light flares wider. 1d. Extreme closeup of Beaverdor's eyes, blankly reflecting the light. The spectral hands that had been dancing around the panels reach into his now, gripping at either sides of his face.

2. Zoom out to Guillermo sitting in front of the table with Beaverdor as the candle flames suddenly flare straight up. Guillermo's wraith cloak flaps wildly behind his shoulders and his ghostly light swirls and wraps itself around them both. Light surges upwards and expands, memories of Nandor from Guillermo's POV filling the rest of the panel. Nandor flying down from the sky, holding a newly purchased pillow in one hand. Close up of Nandor placing his hand in Guillermo's to step into his coffin. Nandor fiddling his hands together, looking nervous as he sees Guillermo for the first time in a year. Nandor grinning conspiratorially and wagging his finger as they discuss the specifics of the djinn wish. Nandor glancing at Guillermo from the corner of his eye with a small smile. Nandor baring his throat without a hint of distrust as Guillermo ties his cravat. Nandor in his warrior armor, looking away as he expresses affection for Guillermo. Nandor in his Wellness Center outfit, straining against his seatbelt as he wrestles for the steering wheel. Nandor in his wedding attire, smiling gently as he lays Guillermo's jacket over him. Nandor in the attic, hair loose and stripped of all layers but a bathrobe, smiling with a fond shyness. Nandor in 2009, reaching out his hand with a job offer that would change them both forever. Nandor in the back garden, reaching out desperately with that same hand, a tear in his eye, thinking Guillermo was about to disappear.

3. Close up of ghost Guillermo from above on a background swirled with black and blue light. His head snaps back to look toward the ceiling, eyes wide as beams of light shoot out from them and pour upwards from his shoulders.

4. Empty blackness.

5. Empty blackness. /end ID

I want to make a list of all the ways Nandor was pathetic over Guillermo in this most recent episode, from memory and not in order:

telling Guillermo to run when it became clear the Baron wanted Guillermo dead.

following the Baron out of the room to beg for mercy for Guillermo in front of the entire roast. I cannot emphasize enough that he did this to save his familiar in front of a whole room of other vampires and Sean.

clutching Guillermo's sweater like a security blanket

cheerfully handing out glasses of blood and flat pepsi when everyone else in the room is aware that he has been metaphorically cuckolded by his familiar

cradling "Guillermo's" dead body and giving a whole speech about how much he meant to him. After refusing to let Guillermo touch him for four and a half seasons

remembering the exact words written in the card Guillermo gave him over thirteen years ago

i love you, media that turn into psychological deep dive about life, death, love, grief and mental health, i love you, "mortality is what makes life meaningful", i love you, choosing love no matter how cruel the world gets, i love you, finding kindness within yourself even when the world feels unearning of it, i love you, embracing grief because it means what's lost meant something, but still learning to move on, i love you, moving forward even after everything is lost and the worst possible scenario happened, i love you, absurdism,

The things we do for love like this are ugly, mad, full of sweat and regret. This love burns you and maims you and twists you inside out. It is a monstrous love and it makes monsters of us all
