Friends AU To Do List

Stories I intend to write at some point for my Friends AU in no particular order;

TOW Eloise’s Wedding - (inspired by TOW Phoebe’s Wedding) featuring Eloise losing her rag with her absolute godzilla of a wedding planner that is Daphne, a heavily pregnant Sophie trying her best to avoid giving birth on her sister-in-law’s special day, and Lucy attending her first wedding since running out on her own a few weeks prior.

TOW The Bump On The Head - (inspired by Monica and Rachel babysitting Ben in TOW The Giant Poking Device) featuring Edwina and Eloise babysitting Edmund Jr. and scrambling to hide the bump he receives after Edwina accidentally knocks him into a wood beam while playing with him - ✅

TOW The Beach Mystery - (inspired by TOW The Jellyfish) featuring Benedict and Sophie being confused as to why Anthony, Kate, and Colin are all being so weird after returning from the beach during their holiday, and Anthony realising he’s fallen in love with Kate.

TOW The Hunt For Daphne’s Presents - (inspired by the presents storyline in TOW The Routine) featuring Eloise and Francesca storming the Bassets home to locate the extravagant presents Daphne’s got them for Christmas and recruiting Simon on their mission to sneak a peek at what they’re getting.

TOW The Erogenous Zones Diagram - (inspired by Monica giving Chandler tips in TOW Phoebe’s Uterus) featuring an offended Colin seeking out Penelope’s advice when his girlfriend critiques him for his mediocre performance in bed, Penelope giving him a run-down on how to elevate his skills to the next level and gets herself aroused in front of him, and Colin suddenly seeing his best friend in a brand new light and unable to think about anything else but her.

TOW The Runaway Bride - (inspired by the events leading up to Rachel’s first appearance in TOW Where It All Began/Monica Gets A Roommate/Pilot) featuring Lucy breaking Gregory’s heart by deciding to still go through with her wedding despite being in love with him, saying his name instead of her fiance’s during her vows, and jilting her own wedding to reunite with Gregory.

TOW Hyacinth’s Wedding - (inspired by TOW Monica and Chandler’s Wedding) featuring Gregory threatening Gareth that if he ever hurts Hyacinth that he’ll hunt him down and kick his ass, Gareth getting cold feet after his father rakes up all of his insecurities, and the Bridgerton spouses doing their best to locate the runaway groom before the family catches wind.

TOW Daphne And The Optometrist - (inspired by Monica and Richard’s meeting in TOW Ross and Rachel You Know) featuring Daphne going for an eye test and meeting Anthony’s best friend Simon, followed by a relationship being conducted in secret before a baby deal-breaker leads to a break-up (all of this taking place prior to their drunken Las Vegas wedding).

TOW Anthony Plays The Bagpipes - (inspired by Ross’s audition to perform at Monica and Chandler’s wedding in TOW Joey’s New Brain) featuring Michael and Francesca planning their wedding, Anthony deciding to learn a new instrument, and Michael’s family being Scottish and Francesca’s family being Anthony.

TOW Colin’s Flemish Kisses - (inspired by TOW All The Kissing) featuring Colin having to cover up his relationship with Penelope and not arouse any suspicion by kissing his brothers’ wives as well, and Anthony and Benedict not being too thrilled that their brother’s shoving his tongue down their wives’ throats - ✅

TOW The Lobsters - (inspired by TOW The Prom Video) featuring another throwback to the older generation where George Rokesby’s feelings for Billie Bridgerton are revealed after the Rokesby and Bridgerton siblings watch an old prom video where George came to Billie’s rescue.

TOW Benedict Loves Sophie - (inspired by the S1+2 love story of Ross and Rachel) featuring mystery midnight kissers, missed opportunities, a meddling Michael Stirling, a drunken voice message, and culminating in a romantic kiss in the rain.

TOW Colin Wouldn’t Dream Of Dating Penelope - (inspired by Monica’s story in TOW All The Thanksgivings) - featuring Colin making a blunder, Penelope overhearing something that breaks her heart, and an accident resulting in a rush to the hospital.

TOW The Flat Swap - (inspired by the quiz and it’s aftermath in TOW The Embryos) featuring Anthony and Benedict owning a duck and a crowing chicken, Kate and Sophie challenging them to a quiz with a daring bet, and a result that one team doesn’t want to accept defeat to.

TOW Iris and Jacob Bridgerton - (inspired by The One That Could Have Been) featuring an alternate timeline where Edmund Bridgerton didn’t get a vasectomy after Hyacinth was born and there being 10 children instead of 8, and how the additions of Iris and Jacob alter the lives of their siblings.

Iloveyousomuch. Okay, so SPOILERS for people who hasn't finished yet: 1. I do think that Hop isn't dead, I DON'T THINK the Russians got him tho (wouldn't that be way too obvious?, I liked the Marvel feeling there tho). I do get behind the theory of him getting trapped on the upside down, what if "The American" the Russians have is actually one of the other experiments? Like 8... We know they will keep trying to open the gate, we're coming hard with the Cold War for this next season (1)

2. So, Joyce, Will and El moving out of Hawkins, I read about people wondering if they would move out to Chicago, but i don't think that's the case. In the first episodes we knew already about Joyce moving out, so I'm thinking something either close to Hawkings or wherever Jonathan's moving out for college. 3. So we've already had all weather right? Summer, Winter, Autumn and the big holidays: Summer break, Christmas and Halloween. So we're missing one.. they always tend to guide (2)

with a big holiday or season for the series, I still can't think which one tho. 4. It needs to be a holiday for sure, because we would have a new code red and they would need for Joyce to go back to Hawkings with the kiddos. Although in this point I could get behind the idea of they moving out to Chicago and maybe Kali not being The American the Russians got, so she can help El and the band to finally fucking close the gate

AAAND finally, El's powers. I don't think NO WAY IN HELL this kid lost her powers. I think the trauma blocked them in some way, and this is also her chance to feel normal (YAS, sad that it has to be away from her friends tho). I'm thinking that trauma... once again will bring them back (having to save Hop?, knowing that the Mind Flayer is back? the boys and Max being in danger?). Maybe they would take summer again as i was thinking, what if El and Will go back to Hawkings for the holidays??

WELL i don’t think kali will ever make a comeback because i’m pretty sure there was an article that stated that they were done with that storyline / those characters because it didn’t seem to vibe well with the audience. so i really don’t think she’s going to come back?? and in regards to that, don’t think they’ll include other experiments into the mix lmao

i don’t want el to lose her powers but i am concerned about them because even after 3 months, they still aren’t back in even their weakest state. i think her trauma blocking them could be a possibility. although i’d be curious to see how they would fight whatever comes up next for them without el’s powers to aid them lmao i can’t imagine it going very well though so i’m sure they’ll eventually come back in time just for... convenient writing sake knowing them

i’m thinking for the holiday maybe thanksgiving or christmas again? i feel like big holidays like those two make sense with el and the byers being moved because it gives them an excuse to visit ???? and it’s minor, but seeing the demogorgon back at the very end makes me feel like we’re going major throwback here and what better time than having it set during the fall / winter like in s1 lmao
