Isadora Quagmire x Fem!Reader
Word Count: 1,315
Warnings: none :)
Summary: You're hopelessly in love with Isadora Quagmire, and you know she can't possibly feel the same. Little do you know, Isadora Quagmire is hopelessly in love with you, and she is just as convinced that her feelings are unrequited.
A/N: I had motivation without ideas so I put fandoms, characters, and tropes into generator wheels and got A Series of Unfortunate Events, Isadora Quagmire, and mutual pining, and this was the result. I really love it, I'm not an Isadora simp and it's genuinely one of my favorite things I've ever written, so I hope you like it as much as I do!
You’d been in love with Isadora Quagmire since the day you first met her. She was beautiful, romantic, kind, intelligent - what wasn’t there to love? The only problem was you knew she wasn’t in love with you. You were a girl, for one thing, and you saw how she looked at your brother Klaus. What did you have that she could possibly want? You were quiet and bookish, and not even in that incredible, intelligent way Klaus was. You were just shy and distant, a hopeless romantic trying to be the main character of a story in which you only had a supporting role.
You read Isadora’s poem again, smiling to yourself as a blush covered your cheeks. You knew she didn’t mean anything by it; it was just a friendly little note meant for you, Violet, Klaus, and Sunny. But you couldn’t help but feel like it was meant just for you.
When I first met you I felt I could sing You don’t know the joy that your company brings
A couplet, Isadora’s favorite form of poetry. You hugged the slip of paper to your chest with a sigh, your smile widening despite yourself. The shack door opened and you shoved the poem underneath your pillow, trying - and failing - to regain your composure.
Your sister Violet walked in. “Hey, (Y/N). Are you okay? You seem a little… anxious.” She sat down beside you with a concerned smile.
“Me?” you said. “Oh, I’m- I’m fine, Violet, don’t worry about me. Just, uh… you know.”
Violet laughed. “No, (Y/N), I don’t know.”
You sighed. “Promise you won’t tell anyone?” you whispered.
Violet’s expression turned even more concerned. “Of course not. Any secret you choose to share is safe with me.”
Your lip trembled and you covered your face, pulling your knees up to your body. “I’m in love with Isadora,” you whispered, almost incoherently. You peeked through your fingers to see Violet’s reaction.
Her mouth was open in surprise, and you thought she was upset until she pulled you into her arms for a hug. “I won’t tell a soul,” she said quietly.
“Thanks, Violet.” A few relieved tears slipped down your face and you wiped them away when the two of you pulled apart. “It’s really a relief to tell someone. I just… I wish she felt the same.”
“How do you know she doesn’t?” Violet asked gently.
You looked at her in bewilderment. “Come on, Violet. I’m- she’s not- “ You sighed. “Please don’t give me false hope.”
Violet looked at you sadly. “Okay. I understand. I just don’t think you should throw your feelings away because you don’t think anything will come of them.”
“I’m not throwing my feelings away,” you told her. “I’m just accepting the fact that they’re mine and mine only.”
Violet sighed. She took your hand and squeezed it once, then left the shack. You pulled Isadora’s poem out from under your pillow and laid down on your bed, letting your tears soak the blanket and the paper, and sobbing more when the wetness smudged the ink and made the poem unreadable. You cried until you couldn’t anymore, and then you laid there, panting and sniffling and curling in on yourself, until you fell asleep.
Isadora Quagmire had been in love with you since the day she first met you. You had a beautiful, quiet intelligence that captivated her from the moment she laid eyes on you. You rarely spoke; you watched from the sidelines, taking in everything and missing nothing, speaking only when you had something valuable to say - and goodness, was it always valuable. Every word that came out of your mouth took Isadora by an infatuated surprise, consuming her attention till nothing in the world existed but you. She only wished you were in love with her. But you weren’t - you couldn’t be. You were far too amazing, far too incredible for someone like Isadora, who spoke whenever she found the opportunity, just because she felt like writing a poem. Who missed everything that wasn’t abstract, only focusing on the nonsense her mind created and ignoring everything else.
She turned to her brother Duncan. “What do you think of this: “Your presence is a present “Whose contents are quite pleasant”
“It’s splendid, as are all your poems.” He sent her a sly smile. “Whom did you write it for?”
Isadora pinked. “Whatever do you mean?”
“You know exactly what I mean,” Duncan said. “You don’t mean to tell me that poem wasn’t written for a certain Baudelaire?”
“I didn’t write it for Klaus,” Isadora said, annoyed.
“I wasn’t talking about Klaus,” said her triplet coyly.
Isadora was speechless. She regained her composure after a moment and cleared her throat. “Then I have no idea what you’re talking about.”
“If you say so.” Duncan turned back to the map he was drawing.
Isadora neatly wrote the poem on a slip of paper and left the broom closet, headed to the Baudelaire’s shack. She knocked once on the door and you answered in a moment, startling when Isadora’s face greeted you.
“Oh my goodness.” Isadora gasped. “(Y/N), you look terrible! Are you okay?” She realized how rude that sounded and quickly revised her words. “I mean, um, you still look good! You look really, really pretty, you always do! Just, um… you look like you’ve been crying.”
“Oh, I, um… I’m fine.” You faked a smile and invited her in.
She sat next to you on your bed and pulled out the poem. You were close - so close - and her breath hitched as your shoulder touched hers. “I, um, I wrote this for you.” She handed you the slip of paper and nervously watched you read it.
“It’s incredible,” you breathed, looking at her. “You wrote this for me? Or do you mean my siblings and me?”
“J- just you,” she clarified, biting her lip.
“Oh,” you said quietly, reeling from the discovery. “Why?”
“Because…” Isadora searched for an answer. “Because you… because I…” She sighed, then took your face in her hands and kissed you passionately, her soft sweet lips pressing against yours in an embrace you’d longed for as long as you’d known her.
“Isadora,” you whispered, staring at her in surprise.
“I’m sorry,” she said, tears filling her eyes. “I know you don’t feel the same. I just couldn’t help myself.”
“Isadora, no.” You gently tilted her head so she was facing you. “I love you. I’ve been in love with you since the moment we met.”
Isadora’s eyes fluttered in shock. “You- you have?”
“I wouldn’t lie to you, Isa,” you said, and she smiled at the nickname.
“I love you too,” she said. “I’ve loved you just as long as you’ve loved me.”
You smiled at each other, letting out laughs through tears as you kissed and kissed until neither of you could breathe. Neither of you could breathe, or believe this was really happening, but neither of you wanted it to end, and neither of you wanted to let go of the other until your bodies were one and there was nothing more to let go of. You kissed until you were dizzy, until you couldn’t think of anything but the taste of each other, until you were tired and breathless and giggling next to each other on the bed, trailing gentle fingers through each other’s hair and staring into the stars in each other’s eyes.
“I love you now and I loved you then “Kiss me so I can love you again”
You smiled at Isadora’s poem. “Did you write that just now?”
“What can I say?” She smiled back. “You inspired me.”
“I’m flattered,” you said with a giggle. You kissed her, pulling her body close and tangling your hands in your hair. “I love you,” you murmured.
“And I love you.”

Morning Routine
Tumblr media
Isadora Quagmire x Fem!Reader
Word Count: 580
Warnings: Mentions of food and eating, but that's it!!! So fluffy you'll die hehe (pls don't tho)
Summary: Mornings with Isadora
General Taglist: @caladrius103
A/N: Welcome back to me writing fics for niche characters that I know no one is going to read!! I'm sorry I just couldn't help myself, my biromantic ENFP self cannot resist the charms of a pretty girl who writes poetry.
You and Isadora had a morning routine. It wasn’t something you’d thought out, planned, or even mentioned - you’d just subconsciously begun doing certain things every morning. For example, each morning Isadora woke you with a kiss on the forehead and a newly written poem she’d created just for you.
“With dawn my eyes open, and with you my heart sings,” was this morning’s. “My darling, I’m hoping your love the day brings.”
You smiled, stretching into a sitting position and pulling her close in a kiss. “Morning, Isadora.”
“Good morning, my love,” she said with a smile to match yours. “Did you sleep well?”
“Mhm,” you hummed in reply, trailing your fingers through her shiny brown hair. “You?”
“I always sleep well with you beside me,” she replied, pecking you softly on the lips.
“So dramatic, Isa,” you teased.
“You knew what you were getting into when you married a poet,” was her response.
“Ah, that I did,” you agreed, smiling. “Shall we get up?”
Isadora nodded, entwining her fingers with yours and leading you into the bathroom. She grabbed her toothbrush and handed you yours. She squeezed a dollop of toothpaste onto her brush before handing the tube to you so you could do the same. Brushing your teeth together was another unofficial part of your routine - perhaps it was unnecessary, but the two of you loathed to spend a moment away from each other, too young and in love to bear even the shortest amounts of time alone.
After brushing your teeth, you’d pick out each other’s outfits. It was a small, fun tradition that made you feel closer to each other - you loved clothes and she loved you, and it was exciting to see what new combinations of clothing you’d put together for each other. Today you picked out a white turtleneck and plaid brown dress for Isadora, and she picked out a long white frilly dress for you.
Then you’d do each other’s hair. There was something so intimate about sitting between each other’s legs and talking as you softly braided each other’s hair into ribbons, bows, and whatever else you decided to use that morning. This morning you braided white ribbons into Isadora’s hair in double French braids and she braided half of your hair and put the rest of it into low space buns, tied with blue ribbons.
“Oh, it’s beautiful, (Y/N)!” Isadora gushed, admiring your work in the mirror.
“Not as beautiful as yours,” you replied, aweing at the intricate hairstyle she’d given you.
“Oh, shush!” she scolded, squishing your cheeks. “It’s absolutely gorgeous.”
You felt yourself blush a bit and suggested eating breakfast to change the subject.
“Oh, yes! I’m starved, honestly,” Isadora agreed.
You got started on a delectable recipe for pancakes Sunny had graciously given you, making a bit of a mess but enjoying the time spent together despite that. You put the pancakes on plates when you’d finished cooking them and drizzled just a bit of syrup on top. You then sprinkled some powdered sugar and placed a few blueberries on top of each.
“Bon appetit,” you joked, placing Isadora’s plate in front of her.
“Oh, they look so pretty! Thank you, (Y/N/N).” She kissed your cheek before digging in.
You smiled, overwhelmed with love as you watched your beautiful wife devour the pancakes you’d prepared for her. “I love you, Isadora.”
She looked up, a smile even wider on her face. “I love you too.”

The Box of Poems
Tumblr media
February Prompt #8: Poems
Isadora Quagmire x Fem!Baudelaire!Reader
Word Count: 1,332
Warnings: kinda angsty but not really? mostly just sad; mentions of their mom's death
Summary: All you have left of your mother is a small jewelry box she gave you before she died, and all you have left of your girlfriend are the poems she wrote you before she was kidnapped, which you keep inside said jewelry box. Your whole world shatters when the box disappears.
A/N: Set during Ersatz Elevator but I changed some minor plot stuff
Isadora Quagmire’s love language was poetry. While other people might prefer physical touch, or words of affirmation, or gifts, Isadora expressed her feelings by writing them down in a poem. You had thousands of poems she’d written you, most of them couplets, all of them kept in the little jewelry box your mother had given you before she died. It was the last thing you had of her, and the poems were the last thing you had of Isadora, and if anything happened to the box you thought it might kill you.
But the most unfortunate things seemed to happen to you and your siblings, so of course something happened to the box. Count Olaf was set on getting your fortune, or anything valuable you happened to have, really, so naturally, he stole the jewelry box first chance he got.
You were halfway under your bed, rummaging and rummaging to no avail - your mother’s jewelry box of Isadora’s poetry was gone. “No,” you gasped. “No, no, no!” You ran out of the room and found your sister Violet. “Violet!” You grabbed her arm, looking at her desperately.
“What?” She turned to you, her eyes filled with worry. “What, (Y/N), what is it? Are you okay?”
“Mother’s jewelry box!” Tears gathered in your eyes. “It’s- it’s- “ You shook your head, unable to get the words out.
“Oh, no…” Violet pulled you into a hug, somehow knowing exactly what you were trying to say. “Oh, (Y/N/N), I’m so sorry; I know what that box meant to you.”
“We have to find it.” You looked at your sister in despair.
“(Y/N), I really want to help you, but we have to rescue the Quagmires.” She gave you a sympathetic look. “Don’t you want to see Isadora again?”
“Of course I do,” you whispered. “But that box is all I - all we - have left of Mother, and what’s inside- “ You shook your head. “I need to find it. Please.”
Violet sighed. “Okay. You and Sunny can find the box and Klaus and I will help Isadora and Duncan.”
“Thank you so much, Violet,” you said, overwhelmed with relief.
“Of course.” She smiled at you before going off to find Klaus.
You went in the opposite direction to grab your baby sister. You explained the situation to her. “I think we both know who’s behind this,” you said.
Sunny nodded, and said some gibberish that meant “Count Olaf”.
“Precisely. Do you know where ‘Gunther’’s room is?” Sunny shook her head and you bit your lip. “Well, I guess we’re just gonna have to start looking.”
Looking was easier said than done. The penthouse was huge, with at least 40 bedrooms, around 20 bathrooms, and more rooms you hadn’t even been in. Even with your search being narrowed down to bedrooms, that was still 40 rooms to look through, and you weren’t sure how long it would take before Olaf did something horrible with the jewelry box. Eventually, after so much time searching you couldn’t even count how many minutes had passed, you found his room. Unfortunately, you were able to determine it was his because he was standing in it.
“Hello, hello, hello, Baudelaires,” said Count Olaf in a manner that was so cliche you would’ve laughed if you hadn’t been so terrified. “Looking for something?” He held the jewelry box up with a smirk on his face. You lunged for it and he held it just out of your reach. “Ah, ah, ah, (Y/N). I’m not finished with it yet. Didn’t your mother ever teach you that sharing is caring? You know, before she burned to a crisp?”
You clenched your fists, your vision burning red with anger, but managed to keep your cool.
Sunny shouted some angry gibberish that meant “That box belonged to our mother!”
“And the contents are just as important, Sunny,” you told her worriedly.
“Ah, so this box does contain something valuable.” Olaf’s diabolical grin grew.
“No, its value is purely sentimental, please - “
The evil man ignored you, prying the box open with a hungry look on his face. The expression quickly turned to annoyed disappointment. “What? These are just slips of paper!” He pulled one out. “This is a love poem!” He looked at you. “Probably written by your little girlfriend, the annoying poet twin.”
“Triplet,” you corrected through clenched teeth. “Now give me those back. They mean nothing to you.”
“Sure thing.” He dumped the box out the window.
“No!” you screamed, running over and watching them fall in anguish.
“Oh, but I’m keeping the box.” Olaf tucked it into a drawer and locked it. “That could be of some value.”
You sunk to the floor and Sunny toddled over to you, placing a tiny comforting hand on your back. She said some soft gibberish which meant “Come on, (Y/N). Let’s go help Violet and Klaus.” You nodded, wiping your tears from your face, and glared at Olaf as you ran out of the room. You and Sunny went straight to the elevator.
“Violet? Klaus?” You swallowed. “Isadora?”
“(Y/N)?” Your girlfriend’s melodic voice floated up, echoing in the emptiness of the elevator.
“Isa!” You leaned as far over the edge as you could without falling in, searching for her face in the dark. “Isadora, love, are you okay? Sunny and I are coming down there right now.”
“(Y/N), no!” Klaus’s voice. “We need you and Sunny to help us get out. Violet’s invention got us down here, but it didn’t work as well as expected when we were trying to get back up.”
You bit your lip. “O- okay. Yeah, I can figure something out. Sunny and I will figure something out. We’ll be right back, just hold o- “ You leaned too far over the edge and fell into the darkness of the elevator. You screamed. Falling felt simultaneously like time was moving a mile a minute and a minute a mile. You squeezed your eyes shut and held your breath, preparing to splat on the stone floor, but Isadora caught you just in time.
“Isa,” you breathed, elated at seeing your girlfriend again.
“(Y/N),” Isadora said back, a soft smile on her face.
Klaus cleared his throat and the two of you focused quickly, red dusting both of your faces. “I’m so sorry,” you said miserably.
“It’s okay,” Violet said, then called up to Sunny, “It’s up to you now, Sunny! Do you think you can do this?”
Sunny shouted gibberish back, which was a yes. Her round toddler face disappeared from the edge of the opening. The five of you waited for her return anxiously, growing more and more worried by the second. You trusted Sunny to get you out, but Count Olaf’s diabolical schemes always found a way to ruin everything. Luckily, Sunny made it, throwing down a rope made of handkerchiefs for you to climb up. Violet and Klaus went first, and you were just about to climb up after them when something shook the rope, knocking you off and causing you to stumble into Isadora.
“(Y/N)!” She wrapped her arms around you and looked up at the opening. “Sunny, are you okay!? What happened!?”
“I happened,” a shrill British voice called out. Esme Squalor was holding poor Sunny by her dress, a smile just as diabolical as Count Olaf’s signature grins on her face.
You looked at the Quagmires in terror.
“Say goodbye to your friends, Baudelaires!” Esme sung. “Oh, and your sister’s down there, too! How lovely.”
“(Y/N)!” Violet screamed in horror. “Duncan! Isadora! No!”
“Oh, yes.” Esme chuckled, and then she and your siblings were gone.
You slumped down on the ground and Isadora gathered you in her arms as you cried. “I’m so sorry, (Y/N/N),” she whispered.
“It’s okay,” you whispered back. “Well, I mean, it’s not; I’m stuck in an elevator shaft and have been separated from my siblings, but at least we’re together again.”
Isadora smiled. “Yeah. At least we’re together.”
