Westlie Faire, Florida AU:

Westlie's father owns an extremely popular rental shop for fishing ships and tourist boats. She works whatever shifts the sub-minimum-wage staff can't cover, which leads to a lot of sleepless nights and half-daydreams about owning her own catamaran and running away.

Westlie's younger sister, Morgan, is a surprisingly competent yet completely unreliable travel journalist who keeps quitting and coming back to Florida for two weeks before bolting off again. Jellyfish and Manatees love her.

One day, Westlie was scheduled to guide a boat tour. She was half-asleep, musing about patricide if she had to listen to another "kids these days just don't want to work anymore" spiel, when one of the clients found a 8 year old stowaway in the tacklebox.

Lizzie - "Just Lizzie" - was apparently on her way to Jamaica. Westlie didn't have the heart to tell her, "Dear God, Jamaica is 550 miles away and there's a sign on the dock: 'Fairweather Boating Expeditions,' that definitely does not read 'Free Passage to Jamaica'." Lizzie also didn't have any parents.

So Westlie, who was not a great person and did not ever want children, actually, snuck Lizzie into her corner of her father's Miami McMansion. And then Morgan started to control the weather.

#liztlie au #FL Florida AU #I WANT TO DRAW THEM.#FLORIDA!MORGAN WOULD LOOK SO SEXY #Morgan would be /peak/ hippie/gypsy style while Westlie just looks like a prep copy-pasted from a Title 9 magazine.#Morgan might also be decked in crystals. I bet crystals actually work for her because she has the power to make them work.#That'd be the funniest shit ever #The image in my head has filmmaking like a shitty TV serial where they're always on the beach for no reason #Westlie is always shot into the sunset holding a sunhat with lens flares for no reason; there's so much unnecessary drama.#This AU is not supposed to be good. xD Morgan keeps doing this unnecessary scoff and half-turn like Westlie just ~~doesn't understand~~#both have the TV serial: I'm so sexy but not like other girl energies whenever they're talking to other people except Lizzie.#And even though Westlie's whole characterization is that she isn't good with kids #She's sO Sweet to Lizzie day one and when she's not it's played up for comic relief.#Arthur is racist in this AU so we can all hate him even more than we already do. He's racist in canon too but it's not central to the plot.
