watership down part of sentitwin soulmate au
Tumblr media
art commissioned from @belowthesurface 💜💚🧡
“Of course we get along.” Emilie’s hand reaches over to slip into Amélie’s. As always, her fingers loosen as soon as Amélie has reciprocated the hold. She swings their hands in a carefree arc between them, looking into the woods ahead, relying on Amélie’s grip to keep them linked. “We’re soulmates. No secrets between us.” Amélie and Emilie, through the years. A non-linear narrative.

more soulmate au meta for i always have a soulmate au brain
watership down
the reason i wanted to do a nonlinear narrative was threefold. first, it reflects the tangle of amélie's psychology and the memories that have shaped her over the years. second, it allows for more parallels and foreshadowing, and for tension to rise and fall across scenes without being constrained by the timeline. third, it rules.
from the first chapter, i headcanon félix as left handed, so when he uses his right hand to enact violence on himself, it's really his father's.
amélie and félix are both victims. of abuse, of lack of knowledge, of lack of agency. but i'm just getting started with the relationships in this complicated family tree.
i named the fic after watership down, the book about rabbits, because this is a story about rabbits, and running, and family. amélie reads this book in chapter two. she's on chapter six, where dandelion tells a story.
All the world will be your enemy, Prince with a Thousand Enemies, and whenever they catch you, they will kill you. But first they must catch you, digger, listener, runner, prince with the swift warning. Be cunning and full of tricks and your people shall never be destroyed.
félix will remember this story.
onto the family reunion! félix calls émilie tante because she married into france. adrien calls amélie tante because it doesn't occur to him that he should speak english. all four of them were raised multilingual, so it doesn't matter anyway.
émilie prefers nicknames like love and darling while amélie goes for sweetie because émilie focuses on what the target of her affections means to her and amélie focuses on what they are like.
the books amélie references in chapter three are wuthering heights, don quixote, and to the lighthouse. unlike félix and adrien, she and émilie are used to speaking aloud.
No secrets between soulmates, right? That’s what Maman always said.
adrien says this in dead air.
We’re soulmates. No secrets between us.
and émilie says it here. of course, we know how that turns out for both pairs of twins. except félix and adrien's communication fails because they are kids in bad situations, and for amélie and émilie, well. they're different people, and the mistakes add up over the years.
now for the heavy-handed foreshadowing! we can see the seeds of the future from the beginning, with émilie's interest in dolls and archaeology. and amélie being an aromantic queen. amélie is willing to go with émilie, even if she doesn't know where they're going. and émilie is more concerned with her desire for freedom than with the consequences for other people, well practiced in getting away.
but of course the discussion of birds and eggs has everything to do with what we know is going to happen. émilie loves her sister, and ultimately she is a person who does messy, reckless things in the name of love. even if the bird will die, she gives the egg to amélie as a gift because it's pretty.
You’re a gift, Félix.
from orbital departure. speaks for itself, i think.
in the last chapter, amélie mentioned émilie's smile used to comfort her. here we see it happening. did i mention i love nonlinear narratives? for now they are just kids, and amélie is enough to keep émilie from her choices.
She turns back toward Amélie, and the featherlike shadows on her face recede.
but the future will come, and the worst of its consequences we've already seen.
finally, the entire waterside scene was a reference to félix's story in garden of dreams. perhaps amélie told him about this day, and let it become part of his weave.

“Félix?” she says, more hesitantly than before. “Are you sure it doesn’t hurt?” He shakes his head. She doesn’t know what he’s answering, what he means. She doesn’t know if she dares to ask. To peel back the layers of their misalignment and expose the ugly reality beneath. Félix has always been braver than her. Before the silence rots, he speaks. “…I’m not like everyone else, am I?”
this chapter is a companion piece to lose it in the morning

i got another of those fic author self rec asks a month or two ago and i didn't know what to do with it at the time so now i'm using it as an excuse to share fic meta about soulmate au.
lose it in the morning
i love having a recurring item come up in the beginning and the end of a story with a different meaning or light. in orbital departure, it's the dress. in dead air, it's the books. in lose it in the morning, it's the shoes.
so we start with adrien tripping over his untied laces. he's a bit ditzy. he's the carefree older runaway from home type twin in the graham de vanily lineage. he has his shoes on because he wants to be active and moving and free but he isn't fully prepared for what that means. laces not done up.
but émilie wants to protect him and keep him in the bubble of her love. that's her whole thing. that's what most of the fic is about. so by the time she's worked her magic, we return to the shoes, set neatly by the bed. émilie took them off him because he's safe at home and she doesn't want him running around, and she was careful doing it, too. but she knows there will be a time when he puts the shoes on again because that's just the way he is. so she ties his laces for him. insulating him from the possibility of the fall. and speaking of...
dead air
what do you know, félix is reading a book in this one and its name is the fall. brief interlude where i talk about félix and camus. there's something that grips me so much with félix and absurdity and meaning in meaninglessness and antifascism, of course. l'étranger, la peste, le mythe de sisyphe... yes. all of this.
la chute specifically is a series of monologues by someone who calls himself a judge-penitent and spends his time talking to strangers about how his life went downhill. it's a confessional but also a reflection on society post wwii, in parallel with the fall from grace in the garden of eden, and it explores themes of justice, social class, existence, and suffering. circles of amsterdam and he's in the seediest ring. the main character contrasts his fascination for feeling above other people with his trifling present reality. félix moment.
back to dead air. the two main literary references are this book and metamorphosis, which moonie could write entire essays about, it's so on the nose. monstrousness and alienation and miscommunication and all that. but with the fall, what i meant to implicate was that by making the realization of monstrousness, adrien would be on the precipice of something life altering, as félix once was. so we start with the fall as the set up, and then clarify what the precipice is: metamorphosis. monsterhood.
by the end of the story, félix has recontextualized his relationship with adrien, and they're joking about adding adrien's antics to félix's essay on metamorphosis. but what we end the story on, what félix focuses on at the close, is the fall again... because even though adrien is adding to the depths of his struggle, which félix already finished last week, what félix is thinking about is what this means for adrien's precipice and his impending fall.
orbital departure
i've already rambled a bit about émilie as a manipulator in this post but i could go on about her as a foil to félix for days. as i told autumn, both she and félix want to protect adrien and go about it in misguided ways. for émilie, it's a ring. for félix, it's a secret.
their conversation in orbital departure is theoretically about félix's abuse, but really, it's all about adrien. and félix is fine with this, because he loves adrien, and émilie is thinking of adrien, and félix trusts his aunt. but right from the beginning he subconsciously wishes émilie would be thinking of and wanting to protect him too. and part of it is mixed up with how she and his mother have the same face. so that's what brings us to our central image, the dress.
émilie's dress is impressionistic and painting-like and light and free and happy. it's a visual representation of who and where she is in her life and his. it distinguishes her from amélie. noticing that is, in a way, comforting. moreso the more uncomfortable félix feels.
félix is touch starved, and émilie touches him the same way amélie cradles his face.
Tumblr media
this is my favorite line from this fic and it gives me feelings i can't put into words. just kidding. i will. félix is a child who was forced to grow up too quickly, so what he means here is that he's a scientist because he's advanced enough in his education to be one. but to the reader, he just sounds like a kid with an idea of a dream job. he doesn't have any context for what émilie is trying to say. he hasn't yet been shaped into the person he is in the show, someone who claws for knowledge and power and control. he's at a disadvantage and doesn't even register this because he's a child who implicitly believes in émilie. a scientist is the best hypothesis he can come up with for what she means. and émilie agrees with him, but turns it around and describes him as the project instead of the person, as if that's what he said in the first place. a joke that only she's in on, that she's telling to herself.
i have thoughts about félix being called clever all his life. it's the gifted child complex. it's the manipulation. and émilie saying he's a gift. well. in more ways than one, he sure is.
when émilie takes félix's arm at the end of the fic, she is literally and metaphorically allowing him to share her burdens. but it's phrased as though she is letting him do it, rather than leading him to. throughout the fic, she fashions herself for the conclusions she wants to see.
makes you think about her silly, untimely dizzy spell.
follow up meta.

“Félix,” comes a voice from the doorway. “May I have a moment of your time?” Félix looks up from where he and Adrien are a few moves into a fresh game of chess. Emilie is standing just beyond the entrance to Adrien’s bedroom, wearing a pleasant impressionistic sundress and an even more pleasant smile. It’s nice seeing her this way, in a brief reprieve from her illness. He doesn’t recall the last time she had felt well enough to dress up at home. “Yes, of course.” Félix stands, pushing back his chair. As he walks toward the door, he realizes with some pang of feeling Emilie hadn’t been looking at him with that smile on her face—she’d been looking at Adrien.
things are heating up in the agreste household. actually, they're staying quite calm, which might be worse.
featuring a bonus chapter by @keeperofthebox 💗 and as always, soulmate au was originally inspired by @wackus-bonkus-maximus and @moonieratty's twin telepathy.

watership down for the ask game 👀
(Not this wasn’t a ploy to get snippets of the next chapters at all, what makes you think that?)
nina you are so sneaky. here you go queen
The guardedness in Félix’s voice stops Amélie, and she looks up from the bed to scan his face. This isn’t the first time he has been unforthcoming about his injuries, but his tone rings an alarm bell in the back of her mind. For a dreadful instant, she is sure the guilt in her chest has crawled its way out to his. But his expression carries no anger or blame. Only a distance she hates to see on him. “Félix?” she says, more hesitantly than before. “Are you sure it doesn’t hurt?” Félix shakes his head. She doesn’t know what he’s answering, what he means. She doesn’t know if she dares to ask. To peel back the layers of their misalignment and expose the ugly truth beneath. Félix has always been braver than her. Before the silence rots, he speaks.
