Interlude - Rewrite POYW - Harry Hook x reader - Part 3 - invitations

=

The Smee twins stared wide-eyed at the crisp white letter that was clearly and openly inviting them, both of them, to Auradon prep, signed by King Ben and Ms. Evie of the isle. They heard that Harriet, CJ, and their older brother Sammy had gotten the same letter around the same time that they had gotten theirs.

His Royal Majesty, King Ben of Auradon, and his Councilor Ms. Evie of the Isle, hereby request the pleasure of your company, Skipper and Sterling Smee, for the upcoming academic year at Auradon city middle school. Please notify his Majesty’s couriers of your response to this request.

-we’d love to have you two with us here in Auradon, don’t worry, your brother has been given the same invitation, will you come? - King Ben

-Don’t let this go to waste boys, I’ll see you soon - Harry H.

Skipper and Sterling looked at each other, then back to the letter, the older twin, skipper, picking up the letter and holding it gently in his hands, reading it over and over for any small hints that might reveal the letter to be a whole joke and they would never be coming off the isle.

Skipper slowly looked at his brother with a grin “it's for real” he whispered, shaking the letter in Sterling's face “they really want us to come to Auradon!” Sterling took the letter and examined it for himself, a bright grin matching his brothers growing on his face.

The twins threw their arms around each other, jumping and spinning around the room. the door to their room opened, the twins pausing in their celebration as their older brother, Sammy, and dad, Mr. Smee, looked in on them with just barely repressed smiles. “Dad look!” Skipper took back the letter from Sterling and shoved it into his dad's face, the old man smiling and picking up his son as he examined the letter “they invited us to go to Auradon! And Harry signed it too!!”

“they invited your brother as well” Mr. Smee hummed, setting Skipper back down on his feet and examining the letter again, smiling at the note from Harry. “Harriet and CJ too”

Sammy flipped his invitation between his fingers “yeah, Harriet said something about how they finally assigned guardians for us so they were finally able to send the invitations, all that’s left is for us to tell the dudes who gave ‘em to us that we accept” Mr. Smee, handing the twins letter back to Skipper, the two going over it once more.

“when can we tell them?” Mr. Smee asked, walking back out of the twin's room to the living room of his apartment that he had acquired after (y/n) had dismembered his ex-captain.

“well, Harriet got a letter from (y/n) saying that the next shipment of goods tomorrow, will have some of the couriers that are expecting our response so we can tell them then.” Mr. Smee nodded, moving into the kitchen to start making dinner for his sons.

“so after we tell them you three are all for Auradon, when will you be picked up?” Sammy pursed his lips, trying to remember what Harriet had relayed to him from the letter that (y/n) sent her informing her of the timeline of events for the vks transfer.

“uh, after we tell the courier dudes tomorrow? the limo should be here sometime next week…no clue what time yet but im sure well be told at some point before the day” Mr. Smee nodded, setting a pot of water onto his stove and turning it on, waiting for it to boil so he could add the pasta.

“I noticed on the twin's letter, it said “Auradon middle school” while yours said “Auradon Prep”, so the twins will be going to a different school?” Sammy nodded at his father's question, helping him get the ingredients ready for the chicken alfredo spaghetti he was about to make.

“Yeah, they are only 10 after all, and Auradon prep is a high school so I’m guessing when they turn 14, they’ll go then.” Mr. Smee nodded again and started to chop up some parsley.

Sammy grabbed the chicken from the fridge and placed a pan on the stove, starting the flame and grabbing some seasonings for the chicken.

The two worked in comfortable silence, the sound of the twins playing in the background providing the much needed “white noise”

Sammy sighed, slicing up the chicken and tossing it into the pan, watching it cook as he thought of the fast-approaching future.

Only a week from now, he and the twins would be across the sea in Auradon, away from their father for the first time. Now Smee wasn’t the best father, hardly anyone on the isle was, well maybe except for Dr.Facilier which was mostly a surprise to…well everyone, the once voodoo doctor turned principal and arcade owner held his daughter in high regard and strived to give her the best life he could on the isle.

But back to his father, while he wasn’t the best, he definitely was far from bad, and tried to the best for his kids when he could. And right now, the best for his kids was sending them to Auradon.

Sammy knew the twins would miss their father, yes, they would have the hook siblings and their older brother but nothing could take the place of their dad. Sammy hummed as he wondered if he could request visitations for the twins to see their dad.

-

CJ balance-walked the curb as she kept pace with Harriet, both heading back to the older sister's ship for the night as darkness began to set over the isle.

“so when are we goin ta Auradon?” CJ asked Harriet, grinning as she gave an annoyed sigh, it being the seventh time CJ had asked that question within the last five minutes.

Then again, Harriet hadn't bothered to answer her so CJ thought it was perfectly reasonable to continue to bug her with it. “at some point within the next week” Harriet muttered; she had wanted to keep her answer as loose as possible as to not get CJs hopes up. Harriet was a cynical person, unlike CJ who was oddly optimistic, and she didn’t want her little sister to be disappointed in case the limo never came.

But thanks to CJ’s constant babbling of the same question, Harriet just decided to blurt it out if only to make her shut up. “sweet~ is Harry gonna be in the limo thing?” Harriet sighed, question after question, and if Harriet didn’t answer CJ would babble it over and over again until Harriet snapped.

“I don’t know, I just know they are aiming for next week to pick us all up, (y/n) said I’ll get another letter about two days before we get picked up so we have time to pack ‘n stuff” CJ hummed at that and lept off the curb, skipping up next to her sister and clasping her hands behind her back.

“so what was (y/n) like? I didn’t get to meet her when she came to demolish dad” Harriet stopped for a moment, of all the questions for CJ to ask that was one she wasn’t expecting.

“well,” Harriet starting, moving forward again as her ship came into sight “she was really…expressive, very protective of Harry, um-damn good with a sword….I don’t know I wasn’t around her for a long enough time to gage her properly but what I've gotten about her from her letters, she’s a thorough person and makes sure everyone is taken care of before going through with a plan” CJ hummed again, Harriet’s “description” of (y/n) was different than the image she had made in her head due to Harrys “description” but either way (y/n) sounded kinda cool and she would have hella fun annoying the hell outta her.

The two hook sisters arrived at Harriet's ship and climbed aboard, moving into the lower decks where the kitchen was to eat dinner.

-

Dizzy hummed happily to herself as she moved about the salon, cleaning up the last of the clipped hair and globs of dye before the salon opened at midnight.

In one week, ONE WEEK, she, Dizzy Tremaine, the daughter of Drizella Tremaine, would be going to Auradon!!! With Evie!! Her idol!!

As the day drew closer to the fateful pickup day, her excitement built up inside her, bursting out in sleepless nights and constant ideas to sketch down in her sketchbook.

She let out a squeal and spun on her heels, sweeping up the last pile of hair and disposing of it. She just couldn’t wait! There were so many things in Auradon that she wanted to try! From ice cream to swimming pools, it was an endless list of joys she had yet to experience!

“Dizzy!!!! Finish up! Time for dinner!” her aunt Anastasia called from the apartment upstairs, Dizzy set her broom and dustpan against the wall and skipped up the stairs, unable to keep the bright grin off her face.

“Coming~!!”

-

Ben looked at the papers the couriers had given him of the responses of the six invites he had sent out the day before.

All of them said yes.

Ben couldn’t help the wide grin from growing on his lips, and he didn’t resist the urge to dance as excitement swelled inside him.

‘Finally!’ Ben thought as he danced stupidly around his office ‘finally! After more than half a year I can finally bring more VKs over! Nothing can stop it now!’

Mal knocked gently outside his office, it was lunchtime and he had yet to arrive at the pavilion where he and the vks plus (y/n) would be eating (lunch celebration for the invitations being sent out). After a few moments of silence, other than the sounds of Bens dancing footsteps, Mal opened the door, calling out for him.

She burst out laughing as she spotted Ben dancing around his office, a wide grin on his face “They all accepted!” Ben sang, pulling Mal into the room and making her dance with him “they all accepted! Six more vks next week!”

Mal laughed again and let herself be pulled into the moment of joy, gigging as Ben spun her around and lifted her into the air “Six more vks!” she echoed, squealing a bit as Ben dropped her into his chest and spun them both around some more “Ookayyy!! Im gonna throw up lemme down!” Mal smacked at his shoulders until Ben grinned at her and set her on her feet, laughing a bit as Mal tumbled into a chair from dizziness.

“Come on, let's go tell the others!” Ben grabbed onto Mal's hand, dragging a still slightly out of it fae from his office and to the pavilion, where the rest of their friends waited for them.

“There yeh are, an’ here I thought yeh keeled over from paperwork” Ben let out a few sarcastic laughs as he looked to Harry, who just grinned back.

“harde har Harry, but! All six of them accepted the invitation!” Evie and Carlos let out a gasp and Evie stood from the table, bounding over to Ben and slamming into him for a hug “I know! Next week we’ll finally have more vks!”

Gil and Harry burst out laughing as Evie took Ben's arms and spun them around in a dance, “He was doing that in his office” Mal sniggered, sitting down next to Jay and leaning on him, Jay holding up his phone and laughing as he recorded Evie and Ben dancing.

“adorable” you purred, curling against Harry's side as his arm wrapped around your waist. Carlos and Dude ran around for a moment, hyped up from Ben's visible excitement, and slid to a stop in front of the table.

“come on! Let's eat! Then we get ice cream! For celebration!” everyone cheered at Carlos' suggestion and Ben and Evie quickly sat down, Ben tapping his hands on the table to rid of his excess energy.

A few moments later Ben's personal chefs appeared with trays of food, setting them down in the middle of the table and pouring their drinks “thank you, Cherise, Tulio” the two chefs smiled at Ben and nodded, waving the eight teens goodbye and moving back into the castle.

“to the new vks!” Ben called, raising his glass and laughing as the rest of you followed his action.

“to the new vks!”

“and many more~!!” you finished, the vks grinning even wider than that. That was the plan, as soon as Harry's sisters, the Smee kids, and Dizzy were in Auradon, the process to bring another six would be immediately put in action.

The only question to that was ‘who would be chosen?’

-end of part 3-

 yeeee P3~!!! the new vks have been invited to Auradon and things are lookin up~!!! and writing excited Ben was so fun, hes a fun character to write and create for, i don't get why the official writers pushed him to the side so much, after all without him the Descendants storyline wouldn't exist (yes this is heavy side eye to the writers of descendants) 

anyway Permtaglist!

but he’s honest

[capcollector]

new temporary pinned while i work on a blog/OC directory. my three main characters.

(tho typically on here you’re gonna see leon w his post-fo4 design i did his fo3 design for the sake of consistency)

[capcollector]

and ig bunny is somewhere in the middle

[capcollector]

13, 27, & 28 for the Fallout OC asks

((also your art is lovely xoxo - Alias B))

Fallout OC Asks

thank you! i’ll just answer for my big three OCs since no one specific was mentioned

13. What is the most frightening experience they have endured?

i think their respective main game stories counts enough. leon finally finding his dad after such an harrowing journey only to still lose him again. learning to live w that, learning to move on by himself. dealing w the mistakes he’s made. for as friendly and thoughtful and loving as leon is, he’s also an incredibly lonely person at the end of the day. ig it’s in his title, but still. being all alone on the open road for over a decade afterward…i guess that’s why he does his traveling doctor thing, to find and connect w whoever is left.

getting shot in the head was terrifying for alfredo, but truthfully i think it was the waking up that was worse. not being able to remember a thing, only having the clothes on your back and whatever was in your pockets to try to piece yourself back together with. frustrating, scary, isolating. this anger that you know you need to remember but can’t, the fear that maybe you’ll never figure it out and die a nobody.

bunny’s follows similar beats to leon’s, i just realized. not only does she still have to grapple w losing everyone from her old life, but she lost the one thing she thought she could save. and she goes through all that just to find out he’d already died a long time ago. she is able to move on and rebuild, surrounding herself w people she loves and growing a community, but the trauma of that moment in the vault still haunts her. for at least like the first two months after dawn was born she was not letting that baby out of her sight. just in her arms at all times.

27. What faction(s) are they a member of / allied with?

leon’s w no one now! left it all behind to be his own person. just being a traveling doctor ready to help. yet despite his departure, the brotherhood always seems to have a way of creeping back up on him :/

al did not completely join up w any particular faction, throughout his journey trying to keep on as neutral terms w as he could so he could use them when needed. something something would betray any of my loved ones at any time and would not hesitate to hit them w a car. independent vegas bc what else has he got going for him.

bunny sided w the minutemen bc she felt they ultimately had the most of a vision for the future of the commonwealth. she sided w the railroad as well but admittedly felt like she held them back, mainly bc her sole goal was getting her baby back. in the post-canon she and others eventually take out the brotherhood in the area.

28. What faction(s) do they despise?

i feel like i kinda answered this in the last question actually…..but leon’s biggest personal beef is definitely w the brotherhood and the enclave. don’t get him started. talon company also still has bounties on his head so. y’know. al has issues w all of them, but again, he’s not gonna let anyone know that. he needs to do whatever will give him the upper hand. bunny also looks down on the brotherhood but definitely not as much as leon. she just thinks they’re more of a nuisance than anything else, but admittedly she doesn’t have nearly the same history that leon has w them.

[capcollector]

well. now i’m thinking too hard about alfredo again.

alfredo is too self-aware for his own good. too aware of his own temporality and his own desire and inability to change. he’s not sure he can or should or even deserves to try to be better. he feels as if the world needs ppl like him to keep even worse players at bay. do the dirty work. who else is gonna bother. but within that need to fill a certain role is the proof that like…he still has the capacity to care and to love. there is still this desire. he’s not beyond help but he’s not gonna take it. he’s lonely and traumatized by his past and that makes him beyond comprehension to most.

he cannot die. there’s a hole, a literal and metaphorical wound that indicates as much.

[capcollector]

anyway bc of that post i’ve always imagined when alfredo and arcade do eventually fuck, afterwards arcade is just. that was awful. :|

[capcollector]

was thinking about voices the other day so here’s some voice/language thoughts for my MCs.

while i think leon normally speaks w an american accent, i do think he has some english/irish inflection to some of the stuff he says. almost kinda like when you hear an english actor do an american accent. also likely calls some things by their non-american names (bin, jumper, trolley, etc). can slip into a full accent easily. does his best to learn basic phrases in different languages since it helps w the whole traveling doctor thing. considers himself only actually fluent in english though.

alfredo definitely has more of southwestern, kinda texan accent. spent his whole life in the southwest and as such has a very noticeable accent when he speaks. a very rich and low voice. picks up the basics of a lot of languages easily, predominantly speaks english and some spanish, and has picked up some words/phrases in other languages just from being out and about.

ig technically bc of fo4’s voiced dialogue we have a voice for bunny, but i do imagine her having a slightly more noticeable cali accent when speaking casually. honestly given her past career she can probably slip into a really good transatlantic accent when she wants. she grew up speaking both english and spanish and speaks both fluently. she speaks both to her kids.

You asked for OC questions, and it seems like that's what I'm doing these days, so here are a couple: If they could give their past selves one piece of advice , what would it be? If they could have one thing from before the bombs, what would it be? If they could change someone else's life, who would the change be for, and what would it be?

these are really interesting questions, thank you!

If they could give their past selves one piece of advice, what would it be?

bunny i think goes back and forth on this bc her gut instinct would be to tell her past self to not marry nate, but on the other hand she does wonder if that marriage is what led to her ultimate survival 200+ years later? but would she not have been able to just buy a place in a different vault? she’s really not sure, but she’s not one to dwell on the past either. if anything she just wishes she could’ve been able to appreciate the last moments she saw certain people in her life. knowing those goodbyes were really Goodbye, she just wishes she could’ve lingered a little longer. been able to tell them she loved them.

leon would tell his younger self that he can’t save everyone. it’s something he still struggles with even in his 30s, even after a decade of wandering the wastes. but his 19 y/o self felt so strongly about seeing the good in everyone and trying to save everyone that it led to him putting a lot of undue stress on himself. many breakdowns, many dark thoughts. he’s learned over time that the only way out is through, and he just has to keep going forward even if he’s scared. also to stick up for himself more.

god. alfredo. if anyone’s still thinking about the past it’s him. tell himself he messed up when it came to his wife. he should’ve been there for her and she (rightfully) left him for it. he wonders if there was a point, somewhere, where he could’ve done better. but wherever that point was, if it ever existed, he missed it. he’s very much Aware there’s no use living in the past but he just can’t stop himself from staying there. maybe just tell himself if he does get a second chance, don’t waste it. or maybe move a little to the right so benny kills him this time.

If they could have one thing from before the bombs, what would it be?

assuming we can’t bring back any people in this context and we’re talking purely physical items, i do think bunny really misses a lot of her old clothes. not that expensive dresses and ensembles would have much use in the wastes, but it is something she thinks about. she had some fabulous outfits from her photoshoots and TV/film appearances, not to mention old family heirlooms. her wedding dress had been in the family for several generations. on a more practical level tho she’d do anything for a nice hot and fully functional shower. i think most anyone would.

leon would do anything for more surviving medical journals and clean, fully-working equipment. actual prewar medicine would be nice too. on a less(?) practical level tho i think there’s a lot of prewar foods he’s always been curious about trying. curious about several now-extinct fruits in particular. wants to try real lemonade.

alfredo is interesting bc really and truly he does not think much about prewar life. the wasteland is all he’s ever known. i think he kinda scoffs at the idea of prewar life bc whatever they were doing led to where things are now. why would he waste his time on learning what they had and how they threw it all away? that said tho. he’s seen old motorcycles and he wants to ride one so bad. he’d kill to drive one.

If they could change someone else's life, who would the change be for, and what would it be?

ok this is interesting bc truthfully i don’t think any of them are really the type to like. want to pry so deeply into someone’s life that they’d wanna forcefully make a change in it. there’s definitely instances where they want someone to do or be better; i think leon and danse’s whole subplot post-fo4 is at least partially themed around leon wanting to see danse make up for things (with leon still trying to work through his own guilt). bunny wants the best for her friends but she’s not gonna act like it’s her choice how they do things. if anything i’d say that’s part of why she cares so deeply about so many of them—she loves them faults and all. alfredo is more self-centered than they are and also just has a more apparent and harder time w making/keeping meaningful connection, so i can’t say this is something he’d really do either. even if there are people he’s met that he’s grown to care about in his own way, it’s also not unlike him to run away from it all if things get too real. it’s your life and he doesn’t want to be at fault if things go wrong. type of guy to end all advice like “but i dunno. who’s to say.” etc etc
