Behind The Scenes...
Ivanov Royal Academy, Glimmerbrooke, 1:17p
Juniper: Are you sure Carter can handle this?
Vanessa: Don't worry, I made it worth his while (smirks)
Carter: Hey Wren!
Wren: … hey?
Carter: Are you mid-game there, or do you mind if I join you?
Wren: I'm not playing, I'm just waiting for Josie to get out of class.
Carter: Awesome, so I'll just take a seat here!
Wren: …
Carter: So are you a fan of chess?
Wren: What do you want, Carter?
Carter: Who says I want something?
Wren: Considering you have never spoken to me once in all four years we've been at this school together, I'm assuming you want something. And I know it's not a tutor because you just pay people to do your homework.
Carter: (laughs) Very funny, Wren. You're really funny, did you know that?
Wren: …
Carter: Fine, you got me, I do want something.
Wren: What?
Carter: I want you to go to the formal with me.
Wren: …You're not serious?
Carter: Of course I'm serious, why else would I track you down in the library? You know this isn't my scene.
Wren: What about Vanessa?
Carter: What about Vanessa?
Wren: You're dating Vanessa?
Carter: Oh no, we broke up. She was such a bitch all the time, you know? Plus, I always hated the way she treated you…
Wren: You didn't do much to stop her…
Carter: I was an idiot then, let me make up for it, let me take you to the dance.
Wren: ...Vanessa would be pissed…
Carter: Wouldn't it be nice to get revenge on her, showing up to the senior formal with her ex-boyfriend?
Wren: I don't know if I feel like having a fight with her about it at the dance…
Carter: I'd fight with you, or we can ignore her the whole night.
Wren: Well…
Vanessa: Ugh, as if!
Juniper: Wow, she's delusional!
Wren: What's going on?
Carter: You really believed a guy like me would ask a girl like you to the dance?
Juniper: I can't believe she fell for it!
Vanessa: I can. Little Wrenny has always thought she was better than she actually is. You're nothing Wren, and this proves it.
Whittaker: Jeez, you morons again? When will you give it up?
Carter: We didn't ask for your input, Whittaker.
Vanessa: Yeah, it was just a little game with our Wrenny.
Whitt: Yeah, right, Sutton. I'm sure Wren was having so much fun with your 'game.'
Juniper: Can't stand up for yourself, Wren? Gotta have this stoner loser to protect you?
Wren: God! Why doesn't everyone just leave me alone! I didn't do anything to deserve this bullshit!
Whitt: Yeah, lay off-
Wren: You too, Whitt! I don't need you to protect me all the time! Stop following me around and butting in to my life! God, enough! (Runs away)
Whitt: Wren, wait!
Vanessa: Ugh, so dramatic.

'Stand and Deliver!', Chapter One
Summary: Tegan Jovanka has returned to her ancestral village on Sutton Common, after living in London for several years. However, all is not as she remembered; a mysterious highwayman now patrols the common, stopping the normal bandits from attacking the poor and then disappearing into the mists without a trace. Although Tegan may have other things to focus on, as the kindly Nyssa Traken (daughter of the local parson) seems intent on making room for herself within Tegan's affections…
~~~~~~~~~
Read on AO3.
~~~~~~~~~
Tegan Jovanka stifled a yawn against the palm of her hand.
It had been a very long. She had managed to push her way through the crowded streets of London to catch the coach back home, and had been stuck inside said-coach for the past several hours. It had taken a very long time for the coachmen to get out of London, packed as the streets were. Given that it was winter time, the sun was beginning to sink towards the western horizon. Rapidly approaching twilight, the coachmen urged the horses onward.
Tegan’s fellow passengers were not the most talkative of bunches either. But maybe that was for the best, given the foul mood Tegan was in. She had never liked travelling by coach; the roads were bumpy and often in poor condition regardless of the season, but especially bad during winter due to the rain, sleet, snow and wind.
She was gladly awaiting a hot meal at her parents inn, and to finally sink into her bed.
Granted, she hadn’t seen her parents in several months. Not since midsummer, come to think of it. She had been staying with Aunt Vanessa for some years now and, while she did always journey back for special occasions, it had been a long time since she had called her ancestral village “home”.
But her time living with her aunt was coming to an end; Vanessa had been ill for a while, and -with the added cost of a live-in nurse, she could no longer afford to have Tegan living with her, although she had put it off for as long as she had been able to.
Tegan had been planning on moving back home anyway. Her parents had sent her to stay with her aunt for the purposes of “making a lady out of her”. Tegan had tried, but her heart just hadn’t been in it. She was always far too forthright to fit in with the people that her parents had hoped Aunt Vanessa could introduce her to.
Her parents, in their letters, had been very understanding. Her mother had been a little disappointed at first, but Joy knew her daughters mind well enough to know that Tegan Jovanka had too indomitable a spirit to be a quiet wife of some merchant.
Not that Tegan had let her know that marrying a man would never have worked out well for her.
Her father, meanwhile, was just happy to have his daughter home. William (Billy to everyone who knew him) was a very easy-going man, which was presumably why the villagers liked having him as the local innkeeper.
Tegan had missed that place, to be honest. She had even missed her little brother Adric, although she would never admit it.
The carriage jostled over another pothole, and the occupants all let out another muffled groan of irritation and pain. Tegan winced; the wooden seat, even with the several petticoats she was wearing to keep herself warm, would not have been especially comfortable even on a well-maintained road. That warm bed couldn’t come soon enough.
Through the window, she could see the occasional skeletal branches of trees. The leaves had long since fallen away in autumn, and spring was due to arrive for another good month or so. Tegan shivered, pulling her shawl closer around herself. She did like the thick coat that her aunt had bought her the previous winter, but even it wasn’t warm enough to repel the cold dampness of the air.
She missed the summer. Especially the summers before she had left for London. Enjoying the feeling of warmth on her face as she walked through the village, the gentle breeze through her hair, splashing her feet in the river with the other girls, and laughing along with them.
Laughing along with one girl in particular.
Memories swirled in Tegan’s mind. Long tresses of curly brown hair, an immensely gentle smile, and a pair of beautiful grey-green eyes.
Tegan pulled herself out of that memory. She hadn’t seen… her for a very long time. But her heart didn’t seem to have forgotten so easily. It really wasn’t fair.
Well, she would have to get over it, if she hadn’t done already. The daughter of the local clergyman was… well, no matter how lovely she was, she was off limits to Tegan.
During her time in London, Tegan had heard of women falling for other women. But that didn’t mean she was lucky enough to… well, to even have so much as a second glance would be more than she expected, even if the glance was from someone as kind and wonderful as-
‘Whoa!’
With a horrible jolt, the carriage slowed to a quick stop, sending the occupants sliding across the wooden benches, the woman holding onto their bonnets and the men their hats.
‘Stand and deliver!’ cried a coarse, unpleasant voice from the semi-darkness outside.
Tegan’s heart sank. Highwaymen.
Sutton Common was unfortunately known for this nowadays. Bands of robbers plagued the roads outside (and often inside) the capital, extorting money from both rich and poor alike. The authorities were virtually powerless to stop them.
Tegan looked out of the window. The highwayman in question was stood nearby, nearby a horse that he had clearly just dismounted.
The man was of medium build, wearing a long black cloak and with a hat to hatch. A mask covered his eyes, but Tegan could practically feel the unpleasantness in his gaze. He gave the impression of a man at the end of his tether and with most of his brain capacity taken up with controlling his temper.
‘Hand over your money now!’ he growled, pointing a gun in one hand.
‘And if we refuse?’ Tegan replied. She heard the frightened collective wince of her fellow passengers.
The highwayman glared at her.
‘Your money or your life, missy!’
‘You vile man!’ Tegan snapped, her fear disappearing in the face of her anger. She threw open the door, and stepped down out of the coach, storming across to where the bandit was standing. ‘How dare you?’
The man’s eyes narrowed behind his mask, and he glowered at her, raising his gun to point it at Tegan.
‘Why, I ought to-’
BANG!
The gun was blown out of the man’s hand.
The highwayman looked around, shocked. Tegan looked in the direction of where the gunfire had come from.
A figure was stood on the thick branch of a tree nearby. They were clad in a long black cloak, under which a white shirt seemed to sparkle in the semi-darkness of the twilight. A tricone hat was placed on their head at a jaunty angle and a black mask covered their eyes. A gloved hand, carrying a pistol, was stretched out in front of them, pointing directly at the highwayman.
‘It’s the phantom!’ cried the highwayman, mouth falling open in horror.
The phantom -if that was their name- leapt out of the tree, their cloak rippling like wings behind them as they descended, as if an avenging angel sent down from heaven.
With a thud, a pair of black leather boots hit the floor.
There was a snick of metal upon metal, and the figure raised a cutlass before them, adopting a fighting stance as they stood a few paces away from the highwayman. Tegan’s heart leapt into her throat; who on earth was this person? She could practically feel the gravitas emanating off them, as if it was unconsciously drawing Tegan closer.
The highwayman took one look at the figure, and bolted back towards his horse. A few moments later, he and the horse had disappeared into the fog.
The figure placed their handgun back under their cloak, presumably in a holster at their waist, and strode towards the coach.
‘My apologies,’ said the figure, stopping just in front of Tegan. She was shocked to realise that their masked saviour’s voice was several octaves higher than she had been expecting. How young was this man? ‘I hope that none of you had your belongings stolen before I intervened?’
‘Your hope would be correct,’ Tegan said. ‘We are all unharmed, albeit not unruffled.’
The phantom’s head turned to look clearly at Tegan, who was struck suddenly by the pair of bright eyes (it was too dark to see the actual colour) that seemed to glisten behind the mask.
‘Are… are you going to rob us?’
‘I only rob the very rich,’ the phantom replied, with a quick bow to her before straightening up. Tegan was immediately aware of how close they were standing to her. ‘And never drawing blood, if you can believe that.’
‘I don’t, to be honest.’
The tip of the cutlass gently pressed against Tegan’s chin. Tegan held her breath, as her face was softly pushed upwards. The young woman felt her pulse accelerate and the palms of her hands begin to sweat, despite the cold air. Her bonnet slid back slightly, revealing her face in the twilight.
The pair of eyes seemed to widen under the mask, and the mouth (soft with surprisingly full lips) opened, as if shock. A faint colour pinkened their cheeks.
‘Miss… Jovanka?’
‘I… yes,’ Tegan said, blinking quickly. ‘I do not believe we have been acquainted?’
The phantom chuckled.
‘That is mine to know, and yours to ponder. Was London not to your taste?’
‘Are you going to run me through if I don’t answer?’
There was a pause.
‘I… forgive me, Miss Jovanka,’ said the masked figure, placing the cutlass back into its scabbard. ‘That was unbecoming of me. I will bid you leave for the village soon; I dare to say that ruffian isn’t the only potential killer on the common this evening.’
Tegan stared at them.
‘Very well,’ she said. ‘I do not recognise you; are you a recent addition to the area?’
‘In a matter of speaking. I was not aware that you were returning to the village.’
‘Well -not that it’s any concern of yours- but I am returning to work in my family’s inn.’
‘I think you’ll find it is my concern,’ replied the masked figure. ‘We can’t have the daughter of the innkeeper being held up at gunpoint, can we?’
‘But being held up at swordpoint is acceptable?’
‘I…’ -a slight blush seemed to appear on the phantom’s cheeks. ‘That is a good point. Again, my apologies.’
Despite herself, Tegan let out a chuckle.
‘Alright,’ she said. ‘I’ll forgive you this time. Good evening to you, Sir Phantom.’
The masked figure smiled, dimples appearing in their cheeks.
‘And to you, Miss Jovanka.’
Tegan turned, and climbed up into the coach. She then turned to look behind her, but the phantom had disappeared into the rapidly spreading fog between the trees. She couldn’t even hear the sound of feet on the ground.
Tegan sat down on the seat, feeling her heart -and mind- continue to race. What on earth had just happened? Since when had a gentleman highwayman been operating on Sutton Common? And why hadn’t her parents mentioned this in any of their letters?
The coach began to move, at a fast pace, and Tegan’s fellow passengers stopped looking nervously out of the window. Tegan had a feeling that no highwayman would bother them for the rest of their journey, but that just raised further questions.
Something had clearly changed in her ancestral village while she had been gone. And she was determined to find out what.

New Year’s Special: 1/3
BREIZH - The Armorican woman’s hockey team received a royal welcome following their heartbreaking loss to Druzar (@trentonsimblr) in the quarterfinals of this year’s winter Olympics in Northern Brindlen Lakes (@sims4royalsandimperials). The team, captained by 31-year-old forward Elise Sutton, were honored with a parade through downtown Breizh and then travelled to Blackwell Palace for a reception hosted by Queen Consort Yvette. Crown Prince Andre was also in attendance, his first royal engagement since announcing his breakup with attorney Vanessa Ellis. (c) ANN, 1988.
Previous | New Year’s, 2023 | From the Beginning | Next
author’s note: even in my previous story, I never showed Andre and Elise’s first meeting or first date. Time to rectify that! Happy New Year! Wishing for a kinder and gentler 2023.
2:32 PM / January 3rd, 1988
[Reporters chattering, flashbulbs popping]
YVETTE | ...well, I think it’s simply marvelous that you girls made it all the way to the quarterfinals! Don’t you agree, Andre?
ANDRE | ...
YVETTE | Andre.
ANDRE | Huh? Uh - yes, congratulations, ladies. Well done.
REPORTER 1 | Eurgh, what a cold fish. This is our Prince Charming?
REPORTER 2 | Cold? [laughs] No, no, the preferred term is “brooding.”
???? | Elise!
NICKI | Elise! You’ve dated men, right?
ELISE | What?
NICKI | I asked Christie, and Christie said you’re bi. Lees, you gotta help me.
ELISE | Uh, what?
NICKI | The Prince asked me out. On a date.
ELISE | [snorts] Oh my god. Did you tell him you’re a lesbian?
NICKI | Uh, no? Are you nuts?
NICKI | The future King hit on me - in front of his grandmother - and I’m supposed to say, “sorry your Highness, I’m a practicing homosexual!”
ELISE | No, stupid, just lie. Tell him you have a boyfriend! Men respect that.
NICKI | Uh, too late, I already agreed to go out with him tonight.
ELISE | [snorts] My condolences.
NICKI | Please, you have to come with. I need you to third wheel.
ELISE | Jut tell him you’re not interested. He’ll get over it!
NICKI | Elise, please. Just come with us tonight, I’ll owe you forever-
ELISE | [sighs] Fine. But you owe me big time, okay?
NICKI | Oh my god, thank you. You’re a lifesaver, Lees, you know that?
ELISE | ...At least he’s good-looking.
NICKI | [dubiously] I’ll take your word for it.

vanessa’s original plan was to bike over to eli and julian’s to participate in their weekly game nights. those consisted of them playing monopoly until peak chaos was reached followed by an intense game of scrabble that ultimately left ness and ei in the dust while vee and julian rubbed their dub in their face. it was a good time, which is why the girl was ecstatic to get her ass over there, even taking some home baked treats ( brownies, specifically ) to share with everyone else. those plans were derailed, however, about two blocks from their apartment when ness was suddenly plagued with one of her visions. it caught her mid pedal, causing her to lose her balance and clumsily fall off the bike. she saw the same room she’s been seeing for the past few weeks, felt how cold and cruel it was. each time she’s transported into said room, there’s a different girl there. every. time. without fail. at first vanessa was afraid that more of mayer’s victims were reaching out to her, begging to be put to rest. that theory was quickly dismissed after confiding in eli about the whole thing ( 'cause duh. why wouldn't she tell him? ) he had confirmed that once lana K.O.’d her psychotic, axe wielding, maniac of a father, all of his victims had been freed. allowed to cross over. a relief on her end, since each time she closed her eyes all she could see was brutally murdered women. this gift of hers could be a real pain in the ass.
had picked herself up off the dirty ground, wincing as she felt a sharp sting coming from her leg. looked down and surprise, surprise: she had the nastiest cut right on her knee. prevailed, though, walking ( more like limping ) alongside her bike the rest of the way. secured it on the designated rack in front of their apartment building, taking her brownie filled tupperware with her. now that she’s on the other side of their door, she’s rethinking the reason for her visit as most recent vision constantly replays in her mind. two girls now, instead of one, sitting around in that concrete room. there’s a reason why she’s been seeing the same setting over and over. this is no longer just a coincidence. so lost in her thoughts that she jumps when the door swings open and a wide grinned elijah sutton greets her. “ er, you got a bandaid? or… a whole emergency room back there? ” jokes, putting her leg forward to show him her injury. “ it looks way worse than it is. i swear. ”

Behind The Scenes...
Cafeteria, Ivanov Royal Academy, Glimmerbrooke, 7:12a
Vanessa: And this is?
Scarlett: The Right Honorable Miss Abigail Thornton.
Vanessa: A Hon, huh? Alright, you may begin.
Abigail: My father is the Baron of Patterwood in Oasis Springs, my mother is the daughter of the Late Geoffrey Landgraab, Viscount of Arid Ridge, and my aunt is Princess Carolin, Duchess of Clovervale.
Vanessa: By blood or by marriage?
Abigail: I'm sorry?
Vanessa: Is Princess Carolin your aunt by blood, or is she married to your uncle?
Abigail: She's… Married to my uncle. But that still makes my uncle the Duke of Clovervale. You're in the same class as my cousin! Beckham Landgraab!
Juniper: Beck is a cutie…
Scarlet: That doesn't make her impressive. That's a lot of weak connections to only somewhat-powerful people. At best she'll inherit a baronetcy in Oasis Springs one day.
Vanessa: It is disappointing that your royal connections are so distant, and not by blood. I'm afraid I'm not convinced. What else can you give us?
Abigail: Oh… Well… Uh…
Josie: What on earth is Sutton doing now…
Reyna: They've been holding court, interrogating poor girls all morning to be their 'heirs" for the next school year…
Josie: What the literal fuck… Sutton's got a fucking screw loose.
Reyna: Everyone at this god-forsaken school has a screw loose.
Josie: You're… Reyna, right? The transfer from Komorebi?
Reyna: Yeah? And?
Josie: Nothing… Well you're welcome to sit with me and my friends anytime you want. Welcome to the Empire!

Possibly Doing a "Begins" Series
So, I've kind of been obsessing over 9-1-1/9-1-1: Lone Star lately and think that it would be cool to do a "Begins" Series with characters from One Chicago and maybe The Resident, by using the information that we have gotten from the shows about them (after I finish all my other WIPs, but I actually wanna have them written ahead of time instead of writing as I go). I have an idea of how I want some of them to go, others are undecided as of right now and some I'm debating if I should do one for said character. But if you want to see a particular moment for a character that was canonically mentioned (ie Mouch and his dad sending letters when he was a child) let me know. (Also, the order of the characters listed have nothing to do with the potential order that they get done. The Chicago Shows are in the order of my character charts and The Resident Characters are in the order that I pulled their names from fandom Wiki).

Name Predictions for Caldwell-Duggar #4 - Girl
This is part two of name predictions for Joe and Kendra’s rumored fourth baby, girl edition! As mentioned in the first post, I strongly suspect this baby is a boy, but I might as well cover my bases. Plus girls’ names are a little more fun in this case since they already have two daughters to go off of vs. only one son.
Previous Naming Information
This was discussed at length in the previous post, but Joe and Kendra have three previous children: Garrett David (b. 2018), Addison Renee (b. 2019), and Brooklyn Praise (b. 2021). Their only son, Garrett, was given a family name as his first name. Garrett is both the middle name of his father Joe and the first name of Joe’s mother Michelle’s father Garrett Ruark. David does not have any family ties that I know of (other than Joe’s brother John David - probably a coincidence), but is a classic, Biblical name.
The girls’ names are a different story. Both of their first names are a style I like to call “trendy in 2013.” Additionally, all children have names with double-letters thus far, which could be unintentional, but also might suggest a pattern. For the middle names, Renee is Kendra’s middle name, like Garrett is Joe’s. Brooklyn’s middle name of Praise completely throws me for a loop though. I guess we could take this to mean we can expect virtue names moving forward, but I don’t know since I would have excepted Grace, Faith, or Hope long before Praise.
Preliminary Predictions
I like to make a list of all the double-letter names from the Social Security Administration’s list of top 500 baby names, so I will do that here. I will exclude any first names belonging to other GrandDuggars, as well as any that don’t make sense for Joe and Kendra due to language, religious affiliation other than Christian, etc. Names that aren’t exactly the same as another GrandDuggar but are really close, or names that have been used as middle names for other GrandDuggars are included but struck out.
Emma (#2)
Charlotte (#3) / Charlee (#272)
Isabella (#7) / Isabelle (#117) / Izabella (#370)

Lennon (#236)
Sutton (#244)
Vanessa (#253)
Lucille (#276)
Camille (#281) / Camilla (#311)
Maggie (#285)
Tessa (#287)
Joanna (#291)
Julianna (#301)
Rebecca (#304)
Kendall (#305)
Vivienne (#316)
Hallie (#317)
Mckenna (#319) / Makenna (#367)
Collins (#326)
Gracelynn (#335)
Avianna (#354)
Giselle (#361)
Danna (#369)
Melissa (#372)
Everlee (#376)
Annalise (#385)
Michelle (#394)
Alessandra (#400)
Poppy (#401)
Paislee (#420)
Daniella (#430) / Danielle (#443)
Colette (#454)
Marlee (#457)
Hattie (#459)
Holly (#465)
Braelynn (#472)
Cassidy (#476)
Jessica (#481)
Madelynn (#490)
Jennifer (#493)
Of these, the names that stand out to me as potential choices are Charlotte, Savannah, Lillian, Hannah, Everlee, Brianna, Paislee, Lucille, Summer, and Alyssa.
And some non-double-letter names that might be a fit? Perhaps Olivia, Sophie, Kinsley, Madeline/Madelyn, Natalie, Haven, Reagan, Emerson, Presley, and Kimberly.
For the middle name, I'm thinking virtue names, but not just the more typical virtue names like Grace, Faith, Hope, and Joy. Going off of Praise, maybe more unusual ones like Mercy, Shalom, Glory, Charity, Constance, Agape, and Patience. Maybe Kendra will pick Christina after her mother, but I kind of doubt it.
My Final Predictions
Even if Joe and Kendra do publicly announce this baby (which is seeming more unlikely every day), I really really think it is a boy. I guess this list could be applied to any future girls they have though! I mentioned in the boys’ post that I prioritized names ending in “-t” because I thought that would pair well with Garrett. I like the similar idea of names ending in “-n” for girls in theory, but that isn’t necessarily reflected in my top choices. If they do have a double letter theme, I think it will be Charlotte for a girl. I think this would go well with all three of her older siblings’ names, is a similar length to the siblings’ names, and would even establish an “A, B, C” pattern for girls’ names. If the name doesn’t have double letters, I'm feeling Natalie. Natalie reached its peak in popularity in 2008 and has decreased consistently since then.
I think Faith has a really good chance of being chosen as a middle name, especially sharing the “long -a” sound with Renee and Praise. Part of me really really wants her to pick Glory though as it’s a guilty pleasure name of mine.
And we’ll end with the top ten list!
Charlotte Faith
Natalie Faith
Savannah Joy
Lillian Glory
Everly/Everlee Grace
Emerson Mercy
Lucille/Lucy Shalom
Kinsley Agape
Olivia Charity
Summer Constance
