Naomi Nash by Alisa Verner

[violetvines]

types of hot , TIG edition

hawt is literally in their last name (pretty sure someone else said this before too)

grayson hawthorne = brooding hot

"thank you for the compliment, but i'd prefer to be labelled as formidable."

jameson hawthorne = bad boy hot

"i could be the hottest thorn in your side if you'd let me."

nash hawthorne = cowboy hot

"i refuse to let you love me if you don't love yourself, darlin'."

xander hawthorne = charismatic hot

"the most charming, most handsome hawthorne (pay no attention to my brothers if they say otherwise), at your service."

bonus:

avery hawthorne = girl boss hot

"i'm no devil but i'm also no saint... my back hurts from carrying the hawthorne legacy and from making my own."

libby hawthorne = baker girl + gothic hot

"i have trouble with my self-esteem, so i bake because i get to be in control of the result. i bake with love, but i once sent my ex (who is in jail) a batch of cookies in which i accidentally added other things into the batter... made me feel good in ways he didn't when we were together."

alisa ortega = idk what to call her kind of hot lawful hot (crediting @jkriordanverse for rightfully correcting this!)

"anything you say or do will be used against you, and when you're with me, watch what you say or do because you are always in court."

thea calligaris = savage hot

"people either love me or hate me, no in-betweens... but then again, i don't really care about people anyway."

rebecca laughlin = softie pretty

"you would think it's great that i'm a rose without thorns, but a rose without thorns is not really a rose, is it?"

emily laughlin huh who's that?

[taylorswiftslibrary]

Alisa Ortega and Nash Hawthorne are my Roman Empire like I LOVE NASH AND LIBBY but also I wish Alisa and Nash got the Briggs and Sterling treatment.

[xo-zozo]

no way some of you think alisa is white

[heygrayhawthorne]

I completely understand those who don’t have a specific opinion about Alisa because of her limited page time. But I like her.

People say she is only interested in the money, but I don’t think that’s true. In my opinion, her “obsession” (?) with doing everything right stems from Tobias. In The Final Gambit, Alisa mentions that she could imagine what “the old man” would say about the mess she made. Plus, in the extras from Games Untold, Nash says that she spent a lot of time in the House and that Tobias used to have dinners with her on her birthday. To me, these details suggest that Tobias had a significant “contribution” to her life. We know the boys are traumatized by him because he always demanded a lot from them, and I kinda think it was the same with her.

There’s also a part in TFG where she says Nash was raised to be extraordinary, and it wasn’t only his education that was influenced, but hers as well. She stayed because of that.

To be honest, Alisa’s background is a complete mystery, and I’m dying to find out more. (I really hope JLB writes something about her, even though I think it probably won’t happen. But let’s dream, right? 🥲)

A lot of people think she’s a bad person or whatever, but I think she’s just misunderstood due to her limited role in the story. In Games Untold, Nash says she deserves the world, and Xander agrees. I really believe that. On the other hand, I agree it wasn’t okay for her to move Avery out of the hospital without permission (though she later explained why she did it).

Anyway, in general, I see a lot of similarities between her and Grayson.

Feel free to disagree or share other comments about her!

How i think Avery greets everyone:

Oren:

Avery: *walks out the door and spots Oren* Oren!

Avery: *gives him a hug*

Oren: *trying his best not to smile*

_______________________________

Jameson:

Avery: *wakes up*

Avery: *sees him next to her*

Avery: *gives him kisses all over*

Jameson: *laughing and kissing her back*

_______________________________

Grayson:

Avery: *walks by him*

Avery:*stops and stares into his eyes*

Grayson: *stares back*

Avery and Grayson: *staring into each other's eyes, unblinking, for a few seconds*

Avery and Grayson: *aggressive nod*

Avery and Grayson: *going back to what they were initially doing*

_______________________________

Nash:

Avery: *sees Nash and runs up to him*

Avery: *engulfs Nash into the biggest hug she can*

Nash: *laughs and pats her head*

Avery: *tries to trip him bc "there's no playing dirty if you win"*

_______________________________

Xander:

Xander:

Avery:

[insert very fast and very complicated handshake]

I don't know why but reading the extract of games untold made me think that neither Avery nor Jameson would be good babysitters. Actually, I feel like they would be Nash and Libby's last option in their list of possible babysitters, even Xander and Alisa would come before them. (In a perfect world, Acacia would be first, if they knew her well)

[thecircularlibrary]

soooo idk if i hallucinated this but i’m pretty sure everyone at heights country day was required to play a sport: so here’s what i think everyone played (w no explanation bc i’m lazy)

nash: track and field (specifically sprinting and long jump)

grayson: swim, obviously

jameson: football in the fall, baseball in the spring

xander: cross country in the fall, soccer in the spring

thea: volleyball

rebecca: tennis

avery: soccer

alisa: softball

emily was medically exempt

[elif-in-wonderland]

TIG CRACK

nash and jameson did the wap dance at his bachelor party

one time, xander put on a really dirty song on (like mad at me by sexyy red) in the car and gray almost had a stroke

the brothers, ave, libby, and max once had a nerf war that lasted for 72 hours straight (avery and jameson teamed up and won)

avery’s go-to karaoke songs are obsessed by Mariah Carrie, NO by megan trainer, etc. and jameson was like “is this targeted?” when they first did karaoke

one time max was listening to a spicy audio and it accidentally connected to the car with just her and avery and now she blackmails her with the memory

when they were younger, nash paid xander in ice cream to keep quiet about a hickey he had

libby always has to pee on road trips like im talking every 30 minutes and everyone debates on leaving her at the rest stop

ave once had a dream (if you know what i mean) about jameson before they were dating, and she couldn’t look him in the eye the next day

grayson once failed cooking so bad, he had sauce splattered on his suit and had to awkwardly walk to his room to change (while everyone made fun of him)

xander and jameson will randomly break out in song like they are in a musical or sum

libby and max watch anime together

rebecca once yelled because she was mad and everyone stopped in their tracks because she never yells

nash loves legally blond because it was alisa’s fave movie before she was a lawyer and she got him into it

grayson watches the golden girls as a guilty pleasure

nash watches soap operas and always gasps dramatically at every plot twist

thea only drinks black coffee because she thinks it makes her ✨qUiRkY✨ (she doesn’t even enjoy it)

rebecca and xander hold the world record for largest blanket fort ever built because of a sleepover they had when they were kids

max says things like “im just not like the other girls ✨💖😝🤪🤩🎀💝” ironically

jameson knows swear words in almost every language

one time, jameson started to tickle avery, so she pulled out a swich blade on him

max and avery have a system where they cover for each other no matter what, no questions asked (it saved both of their asses more times then they can count)

libby, max, and avery make up code names for everyone (code name list on next post) (jameson eventually figured out who all the code names were for and now listens to the conversations and gets all of the tea and the girls have no idea)

avery is flexible, and one time max said sum like “ave, your flexible, right” and avery eas like “yeah” and jameson started to think some not-so-g-rated-things (nash then elbowed him and told him to knock it off)

libby once messed up so bad dying her hair, a chunk of it came out

xander once made a robot spider to scare jameson (becauae i hc hes deathly afraid of spiders)

those are my hcsss! i hope upu liked them. please give me tips on how i can improve and please give me hc suggestions and recommendations so i can make more. tysmm!

Naomi Nash by Alisa Verner

[violetvines]

wedding bells are ringing 🔔

summary: it's the day of libby and nash's wedding. libby is getting ready in her room, feeling nervous about walking down the aisle, pre-wedding jitters and all. she hears a knock at her door, and the last person she's expecting is standing on the other side... alisa ortega.

characters: libby grambs, alisa ortega, nash hawthorne

a/n: my first fic! I hope I represented them nicely <3

.𖥔 ݁ ˖๋ ࣭ ⭑

One. Two. Three. Four...

Libby counted her breaths in her head, steadying their rhythm, even if she couldn't seem to steady her erratic heart.

Today was the day. The kind of day she had carelessly dreamt about when she had been a girl. The kind of day she hadn't dared to even think about in recent years, because she didn't believe it would ever happen. She didn't believe this day would ever come.

She was getting married today. She was having a wedding.

It was funny, really, because just the night earlier, she had been laying in bed with Nash, and they had talked about the surreality of the situation. Or, as Nash would put it, a situation that was surreal to her, but very real and very true to him.

"What if it's not everything you dreamed it would be?" She had blurted that out almost immediately after Nash had rebuked her "surreal" statement.

He had proceeded to stare at her in the darkness, fingers still stroking her dark blue hair. "Libs..." he began, "no dream of mine is worth anythin' if you ain't in it."

"You are everything I could ever dream of."

"But-"

"Shhh," he shushed her, "I know what you're going to say. You're going to say that you're afraid because tomorrow, your last name becomes Hawthorne. You're going to say that you're worried you won't be able to live up to that name, and that you'll mess up and somehow cause the whole world to come crashing down."

"But you need to understand this. Tomorrow, I will no longer be just a man – I will be your husband, your sworn protector. And I will be there with you every step of the way to hold your hand. You will not mess up, and the world will not come crashing down, because I will be there. And if you're still doubting it, still thinking that something will go wrong, I will shield you from all their hurtful words and condescending stares."

Libby knew that when Nash pronounced his g's, he was being serious.

"You always think that you make a mess everywhere you go, but I need you to know that you turned my life from a mess to a blessing."

He had then kissed her forehead and she'd remained silent, tears forming in her eyes.

Libby sighed at the memory. Nash had such a way with his words. He always knew what she needed to hear, how to comfort her and be there for her.

She had fallen asleep shortly after that. Still, no amount of talking could change the fact that it was real and it was happening.

Her thoughts were interrupted by a knock on her door.

"That must be Avery," she thought. Her sister had gone off to meet with the other three Hawthorne brothers, presumably in Nash's room. She hadn't seen him since morning and he wasn't allowed to see her in her dress until the altar. Avery was probably back now, so she was ready to bombard her with questions... if she could get her nerves to calm down.

Libby looked in the long mirror, smoothing down the front of her wedding gown. It was black, matching the glossy dark blue and black colour on her nails. She liked it. The makeup artist had done a great job too, and she felt like a queen. (As she should.)

"Come in!" she called, while opening the door.

The figure outside her door made her freeze. It was Alisa Ortega, better known as her sister's lawyer or her soon-to-be husband's ex-girlfriend.

She and Alisa hadn't always been on good terms, and honestly, she could understand it. Who would want to be friends with their ex's new significant other?

"Nash Hawthorne has never loved anything he didn't leave."

Alisa's words from the past echoed in her ears. Libby curled her fingers into fists. She didn't have time for backhanded remarks or snide comments right now. She needed to calm down because soon, it would be time to walk down the aisle.

Alisa was dressed formally, as if she had just finished a meeting at the law firm. She had an eyebrow raised. Great. "Are you going to invite me in or...?"

Libby stepped aside to let her in, not saying anything just yet. She took another deep breath.

"Look, Alisa, if you're here to talk to me about keeping up appearances later, I got it. I've been going through my vows everyday for the past week - I won't forget them. I've been practising my walk down the aisle with these killer shoes too - I won't fall. Don't you worry, I won't embarrass anyone. Not Avery, not the Hawthornes, not the family's reputation."

Libby hadn't realised that she was panting heavily.

"Oh, and also, please don't make a comment on my unconventional wedding dress. I know you don't approve, but here I am anyway." She spread her arms, displaying herself.

Alisa looked at her carefully. What she said next surprised Libby, and she almost pinched herself awake.

"You look beautiful, Libby."

"Wait... what?"

Alisa sighed. "I said that you look beautiful." She said it so matter-of-factly, like Alisa Ortega was someone who usually dished out compliments like that.

This wasn't the Alisa that Libby knew.

"You can get to it, you know. You can tell me what you came here for."

At that, Alisa gestured for Libby to have a seat.

"I came here to give you something," she began, but paused as Libby snorted.

"By something, do you mean... an NDA? After I marry Nash, I'm practically Hawthorne and I'll know all their secrets." She said, lightheartedly.

How was she joking around with Alisa minutes before her wedding? Then again, it was possible. Alisa didn't like to joke.

Libby waited for a cutting remark, but none came. Alisa only grimaced. Grimaced? Since when did Alisa Ortega grimace?

Why was Alisa acting so weird today? As far as Libby knew, Alisa was over Nash... unless... she wasn't, so that's why she was acting this way. She habitually brought her fingers to her mouth. When she was nervous, she bit her nails.

She didn't manage to do so, because Alisa gently set her hands down. "Hey... we don't want you ruining your nails before the wedding."

"Here, take this." Alisa reached into her pocket and procured a small box, one that could fit in the palm of her hand. Noticing Libby's curiosity, she explained.

"It's a small music box. I thrifted it from somewhere, and I thought you'd like it. The designs at the sides of it are very... gothic." That last word sounded like it troubled her to say it.

Libby laughed with disbelief. "Alisa... you mean to say that you got me a wedding gift?" Her giggling died down, as she was suddenly overcome by an unexplainable feeling. Gratitude? Shock? Wonder? All three?

Alisa shrugged. "It would be rude to attend the wedding without bringing a gift." At that, Libby's mouth fell open. She hadn't thought that Alisa would even set aside time to attend her wedding.

Alisa didn't let her deal with the shock for more than three seconds. "Go ahead and open it."

She did. Her fingers trembled as she wound up the crank.

The first notes played and she immediately noticed that it wasn't just any music. It was wedding music.

"Here Comes The Bride" was playing and the tinkling notes filled the room. As Libby watched, the room shined with a sort of ethereal glow. The music faded, and she turned to watch as Alisa stared at her wistfully.

She could have sworn there was a tiny smile pulling at the corner of her lips. "Thank– thank you." Libby stuttered, because what else could she say? None of this had been expected.

She now expected Alisa to leave but that didn't happen either. "I also wanted to say that I'm happy for you. Truly."

"Everything you said just now made me realise that I haven't been the best person to you, and for that," she took a deep breath, "I'm sorry."

Here was Alisa Ortega opening up. Here was Alisa Ortega apologising to her. Alisa Ortega was apologising to Libby Grambs.

"I wish you and Nash a happy marriage." Libby sat there in silence, still processing her words.

Alisa looked at her wristwatch and caught herself then. "I should be going now. Before things get out of hand down there."

She was at the door when she turned around and said, "you don't have to forgive me. Having you around wasn't the worst, you know? You made life at Hawthorne House happier – I can see it in their faces. When Nash talks about you, he has a sparkle in his eyes, something that was lost long ago. Xander loves your baked goods and I see him popping his head in the kitchen every evening, with hopes that you're there, baking something. Even Grayson and Jameson love having you here."

"You're not an embarrassment, Libby Grambs. You are everything they never knew they needed."

"You're a wonderful sister. And I'm sure you will also make a wonderful wife."

With that, Alisa stepped out of the room, not leaving space for Libby to reply. She didn't need to turn around to know that at that second, Libby had mumbled a million thank-you's, feeling touched at what had just passed between them, diamonds glistening in her eyes.

"You're not half as bad either, Alisa Ortega." She whispered to the empty room, eyes still on the space that Alisa had vacated.

And somehow, she didn't feel nervous anymore.

.𖥔 ݁ ˖๋ ࣭ ⭑

"You may now kiss the bride." The priest announced.

Before Nash could pick her up in his arms and plant a kiss on her lips, she scanned the crowd one final time.

There, in the middle of all the chaos, sat Alisa Ortega.

Libby grinned at her, not expecting anything but a small smile back.

She was surprised again, when she was met with the sight of Alisa grinning back. It was the first time she had seen a genuine, happy smile on Alisa Ortega's face.

She hoped it wouldn't be the last.

If they call Avery Kylie Grambs ugly or average then l am a cross between a pufferfish and Willy Wonka.

heyy! could you write some headcanons for alisa ortega, please?

could you also include her moving on or something related to the hawthorne boys etc?

alisa ortega headcannons •｡ꪆৎ ˚⋅

a/n : okay so kinda hot take alisa is actually a baddie and is a little goof but also kinda overhated. sorry for another short one, send requests if you have any!

@123letsgobestie @hathorneheiress @midiosaamor @thecircularlibrary

first of all not really a question but alisa IS a baddie and we all know it (there will be no arguments in the comments about this)

she doesn't have a lot of time for a life outside of work but she does actually have some close friends that she occasionally hangs out with when avery makes her take a vacation

she doesn't act like it half of the time but she's actually quite fond of avery (and jameson even if she will literally never admit it)

she's the only person in the world that actually enjoys going to the gala's and charity balls because she likes dressing up and stuff

she actually LOVESSS xander and she always has even if she also acts annoyed at him half of the time

she took care of xander and hung out with him when he was a toddler

avid coffee drinker (because she gets no sleep)

she probably has a clip board collection and has a closet that's organized by color

she was on the debate team when she was in high school and she crushed everyone she went up against

i don't know when this would happen but in mind she finds love at some point and everyone is super happy for her and teases her about it

she has naturally curly hair but she straightens it so that she can put it in buns and "look more put together"

the first time she wore her natural hair somewhere everyone was actually stunned

in a romantic sense, she's a sucker for anyone that gives her flowers

grayson and her sometimes sit together in hawthorne house somewhere with coffee and have very serious conversations about "very serious topics"

her nails are always wine red

she wears a lotttt of jewelry and it's one of the "alisa things" that she had

she got a nose piercing in high school but nash is the only one who knows so he still holds it over her head to this day

she always sniffles at weddings but never cries (i think that she would let a few tears fall at avery and jameson's wedding)

she plays block blast (xander got her on it)

family is very important to her

thanksgiving is one of her favorite holidays and she probably has a good reason but nobody understands the love

sza is her favorite singer
