‘Nemo’ doesn’t get paid at all for this, like a ‘Volunteer’

The first 'chapter' of my Seven Six Widdershins Family Members AU. Inspired the Six Baudelaires AU by tumblr user unfortunate-stranger-losers, in this au, the Books!Widdershins Family and Netflix!Widdershins Family are now combined together to make a family of six. This 'chapter' focus on Bad Beginning (so only the Fernalds are present), being a mixture of actual fanfic written out, as well as a summary of events.

Violet, Klaus, and Sunny Baudelaire had just spoke of pleasant memories of their parents, and of their wonderful neighbor Justice Strauss, with them thinking of taking of her offer of visiting her library. Right as they placed the chocolate pudding in the refrigerator to cool down, they soon hear the booming sound of the front door being flung open. There’s no need to explain who arrived home: Count Olaf, and he just told the Baudelaires he was expecting roast beef from them.

“Does anyone know whose voice is that?” asked Fernald, making his way back to the entrance of the house, for Olaf thought to throw his coat onto him, instead of using the actual coat hanger nearby.

“Nope. It sounds rather young to be another of our boss’ associate though,” replied the smaller white-powder face women. She twirled a ringlet of her hair with her finger, and soon stared at her associate. “Penny, do you know?”

Penny quickly reapplied her white makeup via the makeup compact in her hand. She shrugged her shoulders before closing the compact shut. “No, Lucy, I don’t. Seller, do you have any idea who could that be? You’re closer to the boss than us.”

“How the fuck should I know?” The bald man narrowed his eyes, and then gave out a growl, readjusting the collar of his black robe he refused to take off. “I’m not with him 24/7! I have a life. Although…Harper was with Olaf at the bank awhile back. Harper?”

“…I think it would wise if we just go into the kitchen,” said Harper, who was near the door with the last of their associate. Harper carefully took off one of their two knitted scarves, and hung it onto the coat hanger. “I think I can hear more voices in there.”

“…Roast beef?” asked Klaus.

“Yes, roast beef,” replied Count Olaf. “It’s the Swedish term for beef that is roasted.”

“We didn’t make roast beef,” Violet said. While not knowing much of foreign languages, she’s certain roast beef is not Swedish in origin. “We made puttanesca sauce.”

“What.” Count Olaf blinked his eyes. “No roast beef?”

“You didn’t tell us you wanted roast beef,” Klaus said.

Count Olaf slide his way to the children, looking even taller than he was. His eyes grew even brighter, and his one eyebrow raised in anger. “In agreeing to adopt you, I have become your father. And as your father, I am not someone to be trifled with. I demand that you serve roast beef to myself and my guests.”

“But we don’t have any!” Violet cried. “We made puttanesca sauce!”

“No! No! No!” Sunny shouted suddenly.

Count Olaf looked down at Sunny, and soon, quickly outreached his scraggly hand towards her, clearly with the intent to harm. But before he could do so—

“Olaf? Olaf!” Unknown voices soon filled the room. “What’s going on, Olaf?”

Count Olaf paused, his grimy fingers barely an inch away from Sunny. Not long afterwards, the members of his theater troupe walked into the kitchen, eventually crowding the room. The children saw a bald man wearing a long black robe, peering at them as if he was a bird. There were two women —one tall, one small— with bright white powder all over their faces, making them appearing like ghosts.

Right behind them was a scarf-wearing person that’s taller than the tall powder-face woman, looking rather androgynous to where they have an indetermined gender. Behind that person was another bald man, but instead of wearing a black robe, he was wearing a black leather jacket. What made the man stand out though to the children, was that he has two prosthetic hooks where his hands should be.

“What in the world are you about to do, Olaf?” asked the hook-handed man.

“I was only about to disciple these orphans, Nemo,” replied Count Olaf. “I asked them to make dinner, and all they have made is some disgusting sauce and noodles.”

The hook-handed man nodded his head, and stared at the pots on the stove. “It smells nice, despite it being disgusting. Who knows? Maybe it will actually taste good. That being said, you can’t go easy on children. They must be taught to obey their elders.”

The bald man continued to peer from a distance, with his resemblance of a bird being all the more noticeable. “I supposed these are the rich orphan children you were telling me about earlier.”

“Yes, they are. They’re so awful I can’t believe I would even want to touch one of them.” Count Olaf gave a shudder, and rubbed his hands onto his pants, as if he had picked up Sunny in the first place. “Well, enough talk. I supposed we’ll eat their dinner. Follow me to the dining room! I’ll pour us some wine! Perhaps when they serve us, we’ll be too drunk to care or remember what we wanted in the first place.”

Count Olaf soon walked out to the kitchen and into the dinner room, with the hook-handed man, Nemo, soon following after in a complete silence. The two white-powdered face women then began walking after him, giving the children odd stares.

“You don’t look rich,” said the small white-powder face woman.

“Did you three got your clothes from a church dumpster?” asked the tall white-powdered face woman. “Because they’re ugly.”

The person that’s of an indetermined gender gave a stare at the children as they walked by. They looked rather bored out of their mind, and in an equally bored tone said, “I don’t care what you made for dinner. I want it to be edible.”

As the person of indetermined gender strolled away, the children soon saw there was one more troupe member. He was tall, lanky young man —younger than the small white-powder face woman— with lankier arms. The standout feature of him though, was his odd stiff hands. Something about his hands was unnatural. The uncanny valley.

The man with the odd hands began walking after the others, before suddenly stopping. He turned to the Baudelaires, and gave them a smile, but not fitting of the uncanny valley. The man placed one of his odd hands underneath his arm, and wiggled his hand to suddenly reveal a sharp hook less fitting for prosthetic use, pirate aesthetics.

“It’s sharper than my associate,” said the man, before walking away, struggling to put his hook back into his fake hand, muttering to himself in angry gibberish.

As the man struggled with his hook in the distance, the Baudelaires —Violet in particular— felt an aura nearby. She turned around, and found the bald man standing before her. They all had forgotten the man hadn’t left with everyone else. The bald man stared Violet in the eye, before suddenly grabbing her face with one of his rough hands. Violet wanted to pull away, but she found herself unable to move.

“You’re a pretty one,” said the bald man quietly. “If I were you, I would try to not anger Count Olaf, or he might wreck that pretty little face of yours.” As he soon let’s go of Violet’s face, he then gave out a deep-tone laugh as he finally walked away.

Violet found herself shuddering and breathing heavily, finding little comfort on the other hook-handed man’s words of disgust from afar: “Dude. That is a fourteen-year-old girl.”

With Sunny crying over what almost happened, Klaus found that his eyes were also in tears. He picked up his baby sister, and slowly approached Violet, who while not in tears, was trembling with fear and revulsion from the bald man’s interaction with her.

“This is terrible,” said Klaus in a crack voice. “Violet, what can we do?”

Violet didn’t say anything at first. All she did was blink, still processing the event earlier. Soon though, she gave her brother an answer. “I don’t know. I’m afraid.”

“…Me too,” said Klaus back, holding Sunny closer to him.

Sunny continued to wail for some time, before giving her own response. “Hux!”

“Come on, children!” shouted Count Olaf, who sounded very drunk already. “Let’s have some dinner!” Soon the pounding of empty plates on the table rang out.

“We’d better serve the puttanesca,” Violet said quietly, and then made her way to the bubbling pot that was once cozy and warm. “Who knows what Count Olaf will do to us.”

---

Verne found himself enjoying his plate of noodles with puttanesca sauce, as well as the delicious chocolate pudding. Nearly everyone had their share of it, except for Olaf, who spent most of his time drinking wine, nearly hogging it all if it wasn’t for Lucy. The eating and drinking and laughing went on until Olaf decided it’s time to finally take their leave.

“Because you haven’t cleaned up yet,” said Olaf, turning his attention away from everyone else to the Baudelaires, “you’re excused from attending tonight’s performance. But after cleaning up, you have to go straight to your beds.”

Verne ended up watching the Baudelaires Orphans. Violet stood their quietly, keeping her right hand in a tight fist. Sunny was sitting near her in silence, looking seconds away from crying. Klaus, who had been staring at the floor the whole time, finally looked up. With flared nostrils, he gave a glare.

“You mean our bed!” shouted Klaus. “You only provided us with one bed!”

Klaus’ outburst had everyone stop what they were doing. Harper and Penny were no longer side chatting. Seller, Fernald, and Lucy stopped taking the final few sips of their wine. Everyone went quiet in their seats. Everyone —including Verne himself — went back and forth between glancing at Klaus and Olaf.

Olaf raised his one eyebrow, and peered down at the boy. “If you would like another bed for yourselves, tomorrow you may go into town and purchase it.”

“You know perfectly well we haven’t any money,” replied Klaus.

“Of course you do!” Olaf spoke much louder, and then gave a laugh. “You and your sisters are the inheritors of an enormous fortune that your parents left behind!”

“And it can’t be used until Violet is of age,” Klaus said. “If you don’t believe it, you can look it up yourself. It’s the law.”

Olaf said nothing. The only reaction shown was his face turning red. Then, in one sudden movement, he bends down and grabbed Sunny, who this whole time was quiet from fear of their previous interaction in the kitchen.

“Sunny!” shouted Klaus.

“Put her down, you beast!” yelled Violet.

But he didn’t. Olaf kept her up in the air, moving her across the table in front of him. The sight of the baby in danger had Verne gasping, as well as Lucy. Verne outreached his hook-handed hands out first, and he saw Lucy following suit. As they continued to follow Olaf’s wavering movements, Verne hears the laughing of Seller, as well as the mutterings going on between Fernald, Penny, and Harper.

Olaf chuckles as he faked losing control of Sunny, and finally settled her down onto the table between several half-eaten noodles. Verne heard Violet sighing in suddenly relief, and he saw her pushing herself between him and Fernald to get her sister.

Violet placed her hand on the back of Sunny’s head, and kept her very close to her chest. The sight of Violet holding Sunny had Verne remembering his own teenager years with his sister. Verne however, didn’t thought of the past for much longer.

Olaf again made another sudden movement. This time, he had his hand open, and struck Klaus across the face onto his left cheek. The boy gave a grunt as he fell to the floor, with his glasses leaping from his face and skittered into a nearby corner.

“We’re leaving for rehearsals,” said Olaf. He briefly adjusted the buttons on his jacket, and then walked out of the room without looking back.

And everyone stood up to followed after Olaf. Seller gave a roaring laugh and round of applaud, while Lucy, Penny, and Harper gave solemn looks at one another. Fernald mutters again as he left, while Verne found it very hard to not look back at the sight of the children, not doubt comforting each other, lamenting over their terrible situation.

~~~

Verne was the last to arrive to the car. Everyone was in their seats, or in Fernald’s case, inside the trunk of the car. Olaf stood beside the front passenger door, and slammed his hand on the car hood.

“Took you long enough, Nemo!” shouted Olaf. “We haven’t got all night!”

“Don’t take your anger out on me! The bookworm had a point,” said Verne.

“I unfortunately agree,” said Seller, sticking his head out the window. “But if I know you, Olaf, you’ll figure out a way to the get that Baudelaire money.”

“We’ll see, Seller,” replied Olaf. “We’ll see.”

When the Baudelaires need to figure Olaf’s plan regarding The Marvelous Marriage, it’s Fernald who gets them from Justice Strauss’ house. Fernald doesn’t get much into Klaus’ face due to the slap of the previous night, but still threatens him with his hooks.

When Violet climbs the Tower to rescue Sunny and getting caught, it’s Verne who’s there. He was playing a game of Memory when Violet made the attempt the throw the grappling hook to the top of the tower. Yes, that means he was present in the failures; he was wondering if Violet will actually make it up the Tower before informing Olaf.

Verne, upon seeing Violet: “What a lovely surprise! It’s pleasant that you could join us. I was just thinking how nice it would be to have a little bit more company around here.”

Verne soon leaves the Tower in order to get Klaus. When Verne returns with Klaus, he takes the boy’s measurements before leaving to help with the final preparations for the performance. Verne and Olaf appeared again hours later with walkie-talkie in their coat pocket, with Olaf explaining that Verne (Nemo, for that is what Olaf calls him) will be the one to stay with Sunny.

Violet and Klaus are taken to the theater, hanging out backstage for Act One. They hear Fernald onstage with Penny, Lucy, and Olaf, while they see Harper and Seller backstage; Harper is arranging flower vases surprisingly made out of cardboard and pulling the ropes, while Seller adjusts the lights fixture. In Act Two, Fernald is on stage alone, and for whatever reason, turns from acting like a soldier to a pirate (the costume change doesn’t help). The two siblings find themselves suppressing giggles, for Fernald keeps on saying ‘Aye!’ between his sentences, as well noticing he’s going from tangent to tangent. They stopped upon seeing Olaf —ready for Act Three— totally freaking out.

Olaf, freaking out: “I can’t believe he’s doing that bit! No one wants a pirate! Am I the only one who’s still a professional!?”

Violet and Klaus are soon changed into their costumes by Penny and Lucy, and after changing, they see Fernald getting dragged by the ear by Olaf, before getting shoved. As Olaf left to go back on stage with Penny and Lucy, Fernald stared at Violet and Klaus, and he snickered mainly at Klaus due to his silly looking costume, before leaving.

With the performance still going on, Verne continues to keep an eye on Sunny. This time, he plays a game of Solitaire. Sunny speaks to herself in her baby-language, wondering what he’s playing. When Verne answered her, Sunny is shock. Sunny decides to ask what sort of name is ‘Nemo’, and Verne explains it’s an alias. Verne changes the subject by asking Sunny if she would like to play poker.

Sunny says yes, and Sunny proves herself to be a fast learner and a very well-play poker player. She got so well at playing poker, Sunny wins her freedom and is out of the cage. Fernald at this point arrives, laughing his ass off Sunny won poker. What Fernald doesn’t laugh at, is that Sunny’s freedom means Verne is bringing her to the wedding. The two men get into an argument (Fernald’s name not being said, for reasons) which ended with Verne accidentally sending Fernald out the window, dangling from the cage.

Verne, apologetic: “Sorry, but this is your own doing.”

Verne and Sunny soon head off to the theater, arriving just after Violet told everyone she signed the marriage certificate with her left hand, and not her right hand. With the Baudelaires exposing Olaf as a terrible guardian and he’s seconds away getting arrested/getting beaten up by the audience, Seller jumps into action by turning off the lights, allowing Olaf and everyone in the acting troupe to escape in the tunnels:

Olaf: *does a head count of everyone* “Nemo, where’s the hell your brother?”

Verne: “One, he’s not my brother, and you know that. Two. He decided to…hang around the Tower. Don’t worry, he’ll be fine, provided the police doesn’t find him first.”

The R - Part 1:

What is the connection between Mr Remora and Duchess R [of Winnipeg]?

One of the many mysteries that Lemony Snicket has left behind for readers (and viewers, to a certain extent) is 'What does the R stand for, in "Duchess R" ?' I am going to attempt to answer this question using any resources available, under the title 'The R'. This will be over a series of unfortunate posts, in this format.

Firstly, we must look for any and all clues that can give us even the slightest hint as to what R might stand for.

Now, let's rule out everyone who does not have a name beginning with R, or is unclear: (again, feel free to skip ahead)

Bald Man with the Long Nose

Mrs. Bass

Henchperson of Indeterminate Gender

Incredibly Deadly Viper

Kind Editor

Man with a Beard but No Hair

Mr. Pitcairn

Robinson

Beekeeper

Duchess R

R's Mother

R's Father

Young Rölf

Mr. Spats

Mrs. Spats

Town Fathers

As the title states, we'll keep some focus on Remora, but we'll eliminate all other minor characters:

Bald Man with the Long Nose

Henchperson of Indeterminate Gender

Incredibly Deadly Viper

Kind Editor

Man with a Beard but No Hair

Mr. Remora

White-Faced Women

Woman with Hair but No Beard

Wart-Faced Man

Madame diLustro

Monty Montgomery's Sister

Bertrand Baudelaire's Cousin

Robinson

Duchess R

R's Mother

R's Father

Young Rölf

According to Various Fan Deductions:

TMWABBNH & TWWHBNB are Gifford & Ghede

The White-Faced Women are Zada and Zora

Lemony's Kind Editor is Moxie Mallahan

Madame diLustro is Sunny Baudelaire

This rules out the 4 of them.

Bald Man with the Long Nose

Henchperson of Indeterminate Gender

Incredibly Deadly Viper

Mr. Remora

Wart-Faced Man

Monty Montgomery's Sister

Bertrand Baudelaire's Cousin

Robinson

Duchess R

R's Mother

R's Father

Young Rölf

Logically speaking, why would there be a connection between Ink and Duchess R? Let's eliminate unlikely possibilities:

Mr. Remora

Monty Montgomery's Sister

Bertrand Baudelaire's Cousin

Robinson

Duchess R

R's Mother

R's Father

Young Rölf

Monty Montgomery's sister would be (_insert name here_) Montgomery. This, to me, rules her out too... and the same logic applies to Bertrand's cousin.

Mr. Remora

Robinson

(Duchess R)

(R's Mother)

(R's Father)

Young Rölf

Obviously her family are related:

Mr. Remora

Robinson - Islander

Young Rölf

So, the above names are generated. I will, henceforth, analyse a link between each character and R, starting with Remora.

POINTS:

a. It's known that a few characters in the Snicket-verse have alliterating names, such as Quigley Quagmire, Beatrice Baudelaire.

b. It's also known that some characters have WEIRD connections to others, such as Quigley's 'relation' to Mr Poe.

THEORY: Given a. and b. to be true, Mr R _______ Remora, has some abstract connection to the Duchess.

This connection can only really be established if one goes by Netflix canon and assumes Nero's surname to be Feint, and combines this with ATWQ:

Duchess R is Remora's boss' ancestor's murderer's friend.

R's friend is Lemony, who murdered Hangfire, who is the ancestor of Nero, Remora's boss.

Part 2 Still to Come...

I need Lemony Snicket and Sunny Baudelaire interactions. She would probably think he is the most pretentious git to ever exist but just imagine. A tired Lemony dealing with little snarky Sunny the whole day and then reading her a bedtime story or probably some old classic to bed when she's tired and his word meanings in between would actually make her understand better and his deep voice would lull her to sleep and in that moment she allows herself to actually be a child who hurts for her lost parents the memories she never got to make, who craves for their love and found it instead in her two siblings, a herpetologist, captain hook and this weird writer/pseudo detective who's her mother's ex-boyfriend.

OH MY GOD IMAGINE

(found this draft from 2018 on my computer and I can’t say my headcanons have remained exactly the same, but they haven’t completely changed either. I also don’t know why this does not mention Bea II. maybe this is before she finds the Baudelaires again)

teenage Sunny Baudelaire who is a bit younger than her sister was when they lost their parents, who is far from the baby she used to be, but still very tough and very, very angry.

she’s angry at her siblings for trying to make sure she blends into the normal life, school and everything, as if any of them could ever be normal again, for trying to keep secrets from her, for thinking that she should stand aside while they keep trying to stop the VFD from rising from the ashes. How is she supposed to go to class while they’re rescuing the kidnapped children and helping them move away with their families? Years ago, it was the three of them against the world - what has changed now, when she’s older and stronger and more capable? Why are they trying to pretend she can have what they had before the fire when they clearly know it’s impossible?

she’s also angry at herself for not liking cigarette smoke (which evokes dim memories of the lumbermill) and alcohol, for not being able to rebel like other teenagers do. Back in the day, she also used to be angry at her own body for trading her extraordinary sharp baby teeth for the annoyingly ordinary permanent teeth that can’t even bite through wood. With time, she found a solution in carrying slingshots and switchblades and brass knuckles - not as good but better than nothing - to feel armed again, complete again.

teenage Sunny Baudelaire protecting younger children from bullies and beating up the boys who pick on girls, and the girls are grateful but they still never invite her to sleepovers or parties, and frankly, she has long stopped expecting them to. Not that she cares - they belong to different worlds, she is troubled by the things they have no clue about, their nightmares probably have little to do with real life - but that could’ve been nice of them. Maybe. She has heard that hanging out with kids your age is nice.

teenage Sunny Baudelaire going on her own missions, figuring her own ways to interfere with the VFD activities, skipping school and fighting with her siblings when they find out. Teenage Sunny Baudelaire hanging out with Fiona whom her siblings work with but never fully trust again (neither does Sunny, but rebellion, right?), and playing cards with Fernald (she’s still better than him, of course)

(Fernald Widdershins frowning at her over the cards, thinking about reckless kids who dream of the big fight. There were times he saw such a kid when he looked in the mirror. Sunny Baudelaire has two siblings who would do anything for her and the Quagmires who treat her like their own blood, but he still cannot help but worry)

(he got her the brass knuckles. He knows all too well what it’s like, to feel incomplete)

(I look at her and see her parent, says Hector once after Sunny leaves the kitchen with a plate full of food they’ve cooked together, and the man who used to be a captain nods - aye, Bertrand’s smile, Bertrand’s eyes, and Hector shakes his head. Sure, the girl looks a lot like her father, but it is the woman they both knew - a brave, dangerous, brilliant and ruthless woman - that he sees in her, a faint ghost that sometimes makes him uneasy)

teenage Sunny Baudelaire who is angry at her siblings but loves them nonetheless, loves them as fiercely as she has always had, because she knows that they love her back and that in a cruel world full of unfortunate events, love is a sort of rebellion.

she can’t rebel like other kids anyway, so this might do as well.
