THE BLOOD OF THE COVENANT IS THICKER THAN THE WATER OF THE WOMB
this is a request for lyra’s 3 siblings! the godfreys are an extremely well-off, old money(ish) manhattan family that gains its wealth from business enterprises, but the parents, for whatever reason, didn’t want to or weren’t able to continue their dynasty biologically, meaning that all the godfrey children are adopted. though the kids were raised in the lap of luxury, the parents also held their children to high expectations. it’s not that they didn’t love or care for them (they do), so much that they were quite demanding: they raised their children with the idea that, if they had so many privileges available to them, it was their duty to make the best of them and be the best at everything they did.
lyra really took that to heart. the godfrey fortune and name meant that the best schools were available to them, but she personally made a point to work extra hard and excel at anything she tried her hand at. (for instance, lyra was put through piano lessons up until high school so she’s really good at it; she just doesn’t really play any more.) as a result, she was accepted to and attended stanford for undergrad, and has since returned to their hometown to attend columbia for law school.
in terms of interactions between the godfrey siblings, i think they get along well for the most part. (that said, if there’s a plot you’d like to suggest involving family drama/tension, i’m 100% down.) i imagine that each sibling is mostly similarly high-achieving like lyra, though that might mean an equally traditional field as law, or something more offbeat (like a startup). the only thing i will say is that it wouldn’t be likely for a godfrey sibling to be a classic spoiled trust fund kid who does nothing else but throw money around - unless they were estranged from their parents for it (which is also definitely something you can do).
face-wise, i’d prefer that they be all/mostly poc and adopted from different places around the world! i think we all know that fcs of color are by and large less popular than their white counterparts, so do feel free to msg me for face suggestions! (even if you’re not going to take a sib from this request, tbh). that said, it’s not a requirement so i don’t mind if one or two of them have white pbs.
personality-wise, they really are completely open (as are genders and ages). i have little archetypes attached + some blurbs but they are just suggestions/inspiration and 100% open to change; you can literally scrap and rewrite them if you’d like.
– GODFREY // 32-36, gender, pb, alias // “the crown prince[ss]” / going into their family’s hereditary field of work (some soulless corporate business thing that’s immensely well-paying, probably) / went to harvard business school Because They Could / if the parents had a fave, it would be them / probably the poshest godfrey, if that’s even possible / lives outside the city with a disgustingly charming suburban life
– GODFREY // 27-30, gender, pb, alias // “the bleeding heart” / they do something stem-y yet beneficial to society, like separating conjoined twins or doing cancer research / did peace corps or msf (or both) / super cultured and well-traveled, and low-key lyra’s fave because of that / the most humble/least intense godfrey, which is Weird
LYRA B. GODFREY // 25, f, naomi scott, jo // “the prodigy” / 3l at columbia law ready to sacrifice her soul to the corporate devils / they all made fun of her for being such a try-hard in school, but also cheered her on the hardest for getting into stanford, then columbia / literally just so ambitious and goal-oriented / they have to regularly remind her to eat/drink/sleep
– GODFREY // 21-24, gender, pb, alias // “the trendsetter” / the most offbeat sibling, but they get away with it because they’re the baby / if they’re still in undergrad, probably in greek life / they run a surprisingly popular blog that the others try to pretend don’t exist bc they don’t think it’s a viable career choice / definitely the hottest godfrey

pls know i only used this pic because it was a google search result for power couple thx! anyway
this is a req for freya’s husband, who we’ll call cal for all intents and purposes. cal met freya when she was 23 and still in the throes of her successful modeling career — how is something we can figure it out, but it was pretty much a love at first sight scenario. they met, he asked her out and the rest was history.
they dated over the next few years, while freya continued to model and seriously struggled with borderline personality disorder. i’m sure it affected their relationship — she would alternate between acting distant and too clingy; her lack of impulse control worried him, the self-doubt was a terror on her career, etc. freya was finally diagnosed when she was 25 and while finally putting a name to all the things that highly affected her life was a godsend, it also was really tough news to take, and i imagine cal was her rock through it all.
while freya tried to be forthcoming and public with her diagnosis in hopes that it would help other people going through similar experiences, it was still challenging and it really hindered her ability to cope with a high-pressure career. at 28, she decided to retire; a few months later, she and cal got married in a really small, vaguely spur-of-the-moment ceremony in the hamptons, and they’ve stayed a tight-knit unit ever since.
it hasn’t been without its struggles, though, most recent of which is their discussion about kids. cal is ready to be a dad. he wants to be a dad. and while there are parts of freya that definitely wants to be a mom, i think she’s worried about how her illness might affect her parenting and the whole idea just kind of freaks her out? it’s a lot of change and it’s restructuring your entire life around one person and it’s just… a definite stressor, so she’s been trying to avoid and put off the conversation, using the excuse that she’s too “busy with work” now that she runs a successful fashion line to think about having kids.
like it’s just sort of an angsty and tough situation for everyone! lots of fun pain because that’s just what i do. we can discuss everything in further detail if you’re interested, but that’s the gist of it! he should be 33+, probably no older than 40? i don’t have a specific face in mind tbh, but i’m not picky so i’ll probably be cool with whoever you want to use as long as you run it by me. or i can help drum up options. just do the thing so we can cry, thx!

OUR WISHES BEND THE STATUES OF THE GODS
this is a request for lyra’s cohort of peers, seven rising 3Ls who are among the top of their year at columbia law. this is a group of law students who have been lucky (or driven) enough to earn a place as a summer associate at the new york branch of covington & burling, a prestigious, international corporate law firm with offices all over the world. this collection of aspiring lawyers is based on the seven deadly sins because, in short, they’re a fucking mess. they’re ambitious, talented, and cutthroat young professionals with big goals and they’re not above fucking each other over (maybe literally) to get to them. as doggedly loyal as friends, yet as vicious to each other as enemies, they live out of each other’s pockets and have a weirdly codependent relationship that’s as chaotic as they each individually are, yet somehow works because they share so much common ground. if you watch “how to get away with murder,” this request is very much also inspired by the dynamic of the keating 5, in that they’re all forced together to be reluctant sort-of friends who will absolutely turn on each other at a moment’s notice, but are bound by an odd, contradictory sense of kinship and loyalty. (if anyone’s interested in making an annalise keating type figure - someone who’s either their professor or supervising attorney or both - definitely hmu!)

better off / high school sweetheart
19-20 / student at any school in nyc / originally from etna green, in / open face
this is a request for sutton arbor - i detailed it a little in her blurb, but here’s where we get in depth ladies and gents!! basically, sutton grew up in a very small town in indiana, where she flourished basically from birth. she was pretty, outgoing, sort of the stereotypical popular girl in every way. she lived for all of it: friday night lights, the sense of community, being on a first name basis with practically everyone in town. even as the stereotypical popular girl, sutton deviated a little in her passion for art - it was almost a dirty little secret, something she tried her hardest to keep from her friends lest they think she was weird. that’s where she met boy. he ran in completely different circles than her and was sort of anti-everything etna green, indiana had to offer. he spent most of his time around sutton bashing her lifestyle, making fun of how hard she tried to fit into any given situation and being obviously disdainful of her so-called fake niceness.
somehow, though, they ended up having a conversation once that changed all their preconceived notions about one another. sutton realized that boy wasn’t weird or a satan worshipper or a serial killer, and boy realized that sutton had real thoughts about things other than lip gloss and cosmo articles and cheerleading. they kept their relationship secret for a good while there, refusing to label it or tell anyone about it so that it wouldn’t seem like a real thing.
eventually, though, they had to come out about it. no one understood, but they didn’t need anyone to? they were always in their own world, happy with each other and not giving a fuck about what anyone else said.
when they went to college, sutton assumed they’d be going together. he said he wanted to apply to schools in new york, and even though she was thoroughly scared of the big city and would’ve loved to stay closer to home, she applied to pratt. when they both got into their respective schools, sutton assumed that it was their first step into forever together.
for the first couple months, things were normal. slowly, though, things sort of plateaued. he was getting busier and busier, doing projects at school and protesting this and that and, after a while, they were hardly seeing each other. sutton should’ve expected it when he broke up with her, but somehow she didn’t see it coming at all. truth is, his distance was deliberate - coming to college with a girlfriend was a trap, something holding him back from happiness. right?
since the breakup toward the middle of last semester, sutton’s being trying her hardest to reinvent herself and to challenge herself to try new things. she wants really badly to be an entirely new person (maybe someone boy wouldn’t have broken up with but… tea!) but it’s not working very well. she’s still very much in love with boy and would go anywhere he asked her to still. when he drunk texts or calls, she answers - and regrets it thoroughly the next morning. she’s trying really hard, but a bitch is weak!!
anyway that’s basically where they’re at right now. whether they get back together or not is tbd (but like….they will be back together physically lmao just idk if emotionally) but there will be lots and lots of definite angst and drama to be had!! so pls take him!!! feel free to reply, message me on tumblr or preferably on discord (morg#3278) if you’re interested!!

andre wolf was a rookie cop who’d just fired his weapon for the first time. rosa st clair was an intern, working on her degree to be a pysiciatrist. they fell fast and hard and no one thought it’d last. ten kids later and they’re still happily married, giving their children the best life they could even when money was tight. they wanted nothing more than for their kids to do what they loved and do it as best they could. they weren’t pushed into things they didn’t like and had a pretty happy upbringing. the sibs are always in each others business even when the others don’t want that. secrets are hard to keep and food is often made by mom and stolen by whoever can get to it first.
the ages should be no younger than 22 or so??? there can probably be a set of twins too if ur interested. i’m not gonna say how many males or females but i’d say try to keep it balanced?? tbh it doesn’t matter lmao. last names should be wolfe obvs unless ofc they’re married or were married. just give me all the sibs pls. discord is shay#8132 if you feel like talking plots. go crazy with the sibs tho, occupations and everything is open!
aesthetic + hand me down clothes / laughter / fighting for the bathroom / prank wars / hockey on the pond / photo albums / family bbq’s / vacations at the beach / sharing bed rooms / covering for siblings / sneaking out late / sunday dinners / a shoulder to lean on / revolving front door / the cop’s kids / parents who say five names before the right one comes out / fight for the remote / secret santas / helping in the kitchen / house parties / random phone calls from mom / all the dad jokes
cyrus wolfe (38, tom hardy, shay) – wolfe (age, fc, played by) – wolfe (age, fc, played by) – wolfe (age, fc, played by) – wolfe (age, fc, played by) – wolfe (age, fc, played by) – wolfe (age, fc, played by) – wolfe (age, fc, played by) – wolfe (age, fc, played by) – wolfe (age, fc, played by)

It started as a joke between siblings, young innocence and playfulness as three sets of green eyes looked down the tall glass window of their home in Manhattan and jokingly agreed as one day the store that read “For Rent” would be where their own little empire would start. They were all seven at the time and even though they couldn’t fully agree on what the store would be for, they knew they wanted to do something.
Flash forward to 2013 and that very same store that once again was for rent. This time Baz wasn’t up there looking down from his childhood home, instead he was sitting having a coffee and reading The New York Times when he noticed the red and white signs that took him back all those years. A few phone calls and texts and just three weeks after that day, a middle aged woman gave him the keys to the store with the wishes of success for whatever was to come.

where on earth did my baby go? (request for ex-fiance)
excuse this ugly graphic!! but i am looking for preston jain’s ex-fiance! little disclaimer from the jump, but it’s pretty unlikely that this will pan out for anything serious future-wise because preston’s a big baby and WILL NEVER LOVE AGAIN (ok dramatic but that’s how he felt) but i’d love to see things play out and possibly have these two make things right with one another so pls!! make her.
ANYWAY SO. preston went to school at one of the uc’s (i’m too lazy and cbf to figure out which one but it doesn’t rly matter and we can discuss) and that’s where he met fiance. they originally had a class together and ended up getting on really well after sitting next to each other in lecture. she wasn’t doing super well in the class and preston offered to help her out. he started tutoring her - though it was more like… he did things for her - and they both came out of the class super close.
fiance and preston didn’t run in the same circles, but even when they finished with their class they kept in contact. they saw each other around and always said hi, but it was mostly a cordial and casual relationship. preston had a huge crush from the get go, but considered fiance to be waaaay out of his league and so he never acted on it.
time passed and they started talking more and more. the closer they got, the more codependent they got, but preston was stuck in the old friend zone with fiance. it took a lot of courage and time and required fiance to get through a couple shitty relationships, but eventually preston asked her out.
they dated throughout college but preston, a year/ a few years older, left to go back to new york and fiance stayed behind so they decided to break up. he was heartbroken and she was… not? preston assumed it was the end of their relationship but a few years later, fiance moved to new york as well and they found each other again.
they’d only been back together for six months when preston proposed to her and she begrudgingly said yes. preston was ready to get it over with, but fiance insisted they wait until everything in their lives was perfect and conducive to the best possible marriage they could have. that never really happened, but after a five year-long engagement, she finally agreed to just get it over with. they had everything planned out, this huge wedding with all their family flown out from every part of the country, and it seemed so perfect.
until ‘here comes the bridge’ started playing and bride never came.
preston found out that she’d refused to walk out and had walked out of the venue in full makeup and a wedding dress and hadn’t looked back. she’s been mia for the past few months, too, ignoring all his calls and texts and fucking carrier pigeons while she’s been traveling across the world and finding herself.
preston’s really, really angry and even more hurt, but at the end of the day he loves fiance more than anyone ever and part of him just wants to know what he’s done wrong?? the truth is that she never felt the same spark and passion he did and kept holding onto him, thinking that with such a good guy she’d feel it eventually, but she never did, and she didn’t know how to just tell him. at the same time, she didn’t want to go into a new life with someone she wasn’t sure about.
SO. that’s the whole saga of their relationship and she’s just coming back now to new york. expect lots of dramatic texts and phone calls, showing up at her apartment begging for answers, drunk words speaking sober thoughts~~~~ and all those other fun cliches??
she should be 29-32 probably, idc her history or anything as long as it fits vaguely with what’s aligned up there! we can definitely talk about any details like what school they went to, how long they were apart, what she’s been up to, etc. her face is 100% open but just run it past me and we’ll discuss!!

let’s call this guy nick for shits and gigs ok? ok GREAT
nick is someone autumn met when she was in college at columbia. tbh i imagine they were both business majors and they met in class? totally normal collegiate type of beginning, and they were into each other from the get-go. each of them had Career Goals they intended on following, but in college that didn’t matter nearly as much — they were still in school; they were still able to make time for each other. BUT him being at columbia is not a dealbreaker so we can talk if you have other thoughts!
once they were both out, though, the relationship started getting complicated. both autumn and nick wanted to follow their dreams through, which for autumn meant working at a magazine where she originally intended to go into something practical like ad sales or public relations, but eventually gave into her Real Dream and started working for the beauty section.
they both just started getting busy and not having enough time for each other, and within a few months they broke up. but then they missed each other, and tried to make the time; they got back together, only for things to fall apart again with all the missed connections. it’s been a cycle like this for the last few years now, and neither of them wants to call it quits despite the fact that they sometimes think maybe that’s the right thing to do.
it’s just constant limbo with them. right now, i don’t think they’re officially together but they’re still sort of together, and it creates a lot of grey area in terms of whether or not they’re allowed to see other people. the fact of the matter is they’re still kind of obsessed with each other, though! like they both want it to work Really Badly and i imagine that even when they’re totally broken up in their off periods, they’re each missing the other and sort of hating it. it’s possible one or both of them has seen someone else fairly seriously during the breakup, but right now that’s not really the case.
so currently it’s really angsty and confusing. i imagine there’s a lot of jealousy over anyone else in their dating lives, disappointment with themselves for feeling that way and frustration that anyone they do see doesn’t stack up to the other. basically a v typical millennial relationship, pretty messy, not always super healthy but not toxic either because on some level they’re good for each other. the timing is just always wrong.
and we can figure it out from there!! whether they’ll work it out or break up for good or what. but they really do love each other at the heart of it, so pls don’t take this if he’s just going to ditch out on her for another girl 5 minutes later because that’s not really what i’m looking for here. he should be around autumn’s age but could be a bit older and it wouldn’t be a problem tbh. face is open! i’m not picky, just run options by me and we can go from there. feel free to hmu with any questions or ideas as well and we can talk it out from there!

So my girl Maggie is an ER doctor. She was married once but then got divorced when her husband left her. His excuse being she wasn’t spending enough with him/spending too much time at the hospital. She’s thrown herself into her work to dull the ache in her heart and hasn’t dipped a toe in the dating pool since.
Along comes this guy. I’m thinking he gets majorly injured somehow and she’s the first face he sees when he wakes up in the hospital. He totally flirts with her and calls her stuff like “his guardian angel” and makes Maggie blush.
I can see her struggling to keep professional but he turns her into a mess most of the time.
“Your heart’s acting up on the monitor.”
“That’s just because you’re in the room.”
There’s unresolved sexual tension galore and everyone in the hospital can see it except Maggie. She’s terrified of getting her heart broken again. Did I mention he has a girlfriend? But she’s drawn to him in ways she can’t explain. Maggie leaves him her number but doesn’t expect him to call. He does. Initially he plays it cool and professional but can’t hold himself back and tells her how drawn to her he is even though he has a girlfriend.
They agree to meet up and are a passionate force the likes of which neither of them have ever experienced but they swear they felt their souls connect. He ends up freaking out about how much younger than him she is and convinces himself she’s out of his league so he breaks it off with her.
Fast forward to months later and they run into each other at the grocery store. he can’t control himself as he lunges at her and crushes her to him. Her anger fades and they have a wild reunion night but this time she leaves him because it hurts too much to play this game. He finds the courage to break up with the girlfriend and pursue things with Maggie because soul mates
His occupation and history are open. I have a few faces in mind, message me if you’re interested!
