So true, the 5/Simon dynamic is just *chef's kiss*!

Can I ask what your 5's relationship with Simon was like pre-betrayl? What kind of things did they do together and we're they just friends or was there maybe something there that could have been, in a different life?

Also (because I have to sneak in a question about my other fav ship), what was your 5's relationship like with Peter pre-reveal? And did your 5 see it coming or was she completely blindsided?

Sorry if you've answered/talked about this before. Feel free to just link the posts if you have. 💛

I really haven’t talked much about my specific five so thanks for asking! It’s kind of long so I have a read more.

Pre-Betray my Five, Callista, and Simon were besties. They loved going on runs together and Callista cared about Simon quite a bit and vice versa. Callista didn’t have any attraction to Simon romantically or vice versa during early seasons, although their friendship was strong in a way that made them almost seem like platonic soulmates. During the time Callista couldn’t speak, she taught him sign language (she’s American but she knows British sign language) although it didn’t help much because I say that Simon would always grab her wrist while they ran together. It made running a bit awkward and uncomfortable, but it became a habit and it kept Simon from having to worry about Callista being the little crow she was from running off to collect a new trinket and nearly giving him a heart attack when he turns around to see her gone.

They hung out a lot, but usually with some OCs I made just for my world that were people Callista cared about. Callista loved reading as an escape so she babbled to Simon about books a lot, and she is a pretty good cook so cue her dragging Simon into the kitchen to help her with a recipe. And since she is American and lived in the southern region she cooked those kinds of foods which Simon always was skeptical about but tried anyway because she looked so happy to be reminded of home again.

Speaking of her being American, when she regained the ability to talk, it became pretty common for the two of them to make fun of each other’s accent. They teased each other a lot but it was always in good fun.

Basically in those early seasons my Five and Simon were best friends who loved each other platonically but much more than most friends did.

In the seasons with Peter pre-reveal, Callista did feel drawn to him and she trusted him way quicker than she normally would. It confused her, honestly. But it felt nice to be close to someone again in that platonic way, although this time there were romantic notes in there that was the start of an a extremely slow burn… because neither of them actually believe they have feelings for each other until much later. Peter didn’t realize he had romantic feelings for Callista until near the end S7 and Callista didn’t realize she had feelings for him until the gap between S8 and 9, and neither of them even admit it to each other until about 1/3 way through S9, and things are complicated because of other failing relationships they were both in but not sure if they should let them go.

Back to pre-reveal though, Callista has smart and stupid moments. She’s an amazing runner and is quick in coming up with plans and spotting things but she always did not see the reveal coming for two reasons:

1. She can be really fucking stupid and oblivious when it comes to these things.

2. After Simon “died” in S3 finale she refused to believe there was a chance he might be alive because if she gave herself that hope and then never saw him again and he was actually dead it would destroy her. (She was so devastated by Simon’s “death” in S3 she actually stopped talking and only spoke via sign language, which she hadn’t done since she regained her ability to speak in early S2. She was mute during the entire time skip between S3 and 4 and only spoke again because her sister came to Abel and she was so angry because she and her younger sister have major beef that she started speaking just to curse her out.)

Back to the point, there were obvious signs, but Callista was oblivious and in denial so she never saw it coming. Peter even did the same habit of grabbing her wrist while on runs and she would just awkwardly pull away and tell him only one person had that privilege (but Peter still did it out of habit and Callista eventually just let him). Callista tries not to think too much about it.

When Peter admits that he’s Simon, Callista’s brain short-circuited and she nearly had to be dragged to safety from the zombies around them because she just froze. There was an argument later because Callista wasn’t sure how to process all of this, but it ended in tears with Callista’s much shorter frame hugging Peter right enough to hurt as she sobbed “I missed you,” over and over again.

I hope that answered your question! And thank you for the ask about my Five!

Nicole: Singer was raised by raccoons.

Callista: Oh no. Not this again.

Nicole: My parents found her digging around in a garbage can one day and decided they wanted to keep her.

Callista, groaning in annoyance: Songbird!

Nicole: She still yearns for the trash.

Nicole: I know because out of everyone she decided to marry Sam.

Nicole: *giggling and blushing as she writes down something in her journal with a pink glitter gel pen*

Callista: *leans over to see what she’s written*

Callista, reading the line at the top of the journal: List of people who I hope get struck by lightning.

Nicole, giggling still as she speaks: Try to lean over and read my journal again and I’ll put you at the very top of the list, Singer.

Callista: Even above Sam?

Nicole: Even above Sam.

Callista: Wow. Okay. Noted.

Sam: Admit it! You’re in love with my wife!

Peter: What? Callista? Pfft.

Peter: I mean, am I attracted to her? Yes.

Peter: Do my days feel better when she’s around? Yeah.

Peter: Does she get me in ways that no one else ever has? Yes.

Peter: Do I fantasize about her? Sure, but only in like two positions-

Peter:

Peter: Oh.

Good Lord how much my characters have changed as I’ve revised the story. Nicole would never say this now. She hates Sam

Okay so in my ZR universe my Five does have a little sister named Nicole (she goes by her middle name but her first name is Katelyn) who is, quite frankly, terrifying because she can kick Five’s ass and she’s very resourceful. She also just enjoys being a little shit and getting on Five’s nerves because that’s just how sisters are. So I think this is what would happen is Five introduced Sam to Nicole.

Five: Nicole, this is my boyfriend, Sam.

Sam, shaking her hand: I’ve heard so much about you-

Nicole: You’re too good for her.

Nicole: Run while you still can.

Nicole, my Five’s little sister: I’m an only child by choice. I have a sister. I just choose to pretend she doesn’t exist.

Random girl: *sits next to Rory*

Rory: *Scoots away*

Random girl: It’s okay. I don’t bite~

Nicole, slamming her hands on the table: I fucking do!

Peter, about NL!Callista: This woman can’t be fixed. I can fuck her though. Maybe that will calm her down.

This song gives me major “Pre-season through Season 1” Callista because her guilt complex barely let her have any happiness during this time

Callista: I was put on this earth to do one thing. Luckily that one thing failed before I even knew about it so now I can do whatever I want.

Inspired by @runner5anna ‘s post.

This isn’t really my versions of Five, since all of them look like Callista with some minor changes, but these are all my female OCs.

Callista Glover (without her scars because that wasn’t a feature. Just pretend her cheeks have acne scars and she’s got a tiny scar near her outside corner of her right eye)

Phineas’ future partner: I’m crying! You made me cry!

Phineas: Baby.

Phineas’ future partner: Now is NOT the time for pet names.

Phineas: Oh no I wasn’t calling you a pet name.

Phineas: I was insulting you.

Teenage Sara: Uh-oh.

Teenage Adora: What?

Teenage Sara: I see an angry parent walking our way.

Teenage Adora: Yours or mine?

Teenage Sara: Does is matter?

Teenage Adora: If it’s yours, there’s a chance we can make it out without being grounded for the rest of our lives. If it’s mine, then we might as well lock ourselves in our room because we can’t even outrun my mom.

Abel Resident: So I met your child today.

Callista: My apologies.

Abel Resident: I didn’t say which one.

Callista: Yes, but I know my kids and I know how this story is probably going to go so I’m getting the apology out of the way.

Nicole: Singer won’t wake up! I don’t know what to do!

Catherine, who honestly doesn’t give a fuck about Callista but entertains the conversation nonetheless: Have you tried kicking her?

Nicole: Yes.

Catherine: Then I’m out of ideas.
