Going to a party with my husband and his co-workers so I’ve styled myself as a whimsigoth manic pixie dream girl slash insane elementary school art teacher. If I have to be social with people I don’t know, I’m damn well going to make an impression.

took my brain a few days to stew, but I finally got it. Thanks for the nice notes!

   “Virgil!” Patton cried and ran into his older brother’s legs as soon as he got home, clenching his fits into Virgil’s jeans and wailing. Virgil held up his hands for a moment, not knowing what to do. He looked around desperately but saw Patton’s pitiful little shakes as he cried and knew hew had to fix it. He carefully pried Patton off his pants and leaned down to hold his shoulders. Patton was hunched in on himself and rubbed his nose on his sleeve while he kept bawling.

  “Pat, what’s wrong?” Virgil asked, thrown between panic and concerned with the inexplicable desire to punch whoever made Patton cry.

  “I took Mrs. Bunnyface to school because there was a mean person who kept making fun of my glasses. So I wann’ed something to hug. But when I opened my backpack on the bus, somebody saw her. And they made fun of her an' me, and they tried to take her! But I woul’n’t leggo and they tore off her ear!” Patton sobbed again. Virgil briefly considered how much trouble he’d get in for punching a seven-year-old before pulling Patton in for a hug. Patton wrapped his arms around Virgil’s neck and whined, continuing to sob heavily. Virgil rubbed Patton’s back while he worked through the tears.

  “Is Mrs. Bunnyface and her ear still in your backpack?” Virgil asked gently after Patton cried himself out a little more.

  “Y-yeah,” Patton sniffled miserably and backed up to rub his nose on his sleeve again. Virgil picked up Patton and carried him into his bedroom, setting Patton down on his bed. Virgil grabbed the tissue box off of his desk and passed it over to Patton, who took a small wad and blew his nose. Virgil helped Patton out of his backpack and unzipped as he set in on the bed. When Virgil pulled the bunny with the missing ear out Patton made the most miserable noise Virgil had ever heard in his life.

  “It’s okay, Patty, we can fix her,” Virgil offered sweetly, digging around in Patton’s bag for the loose ear.

  “We can?” Patton sniffled, balling up his fists tightly on the end of his shirt and looking hopefully to Virgil.

  “We can. She just needs some TLC. It won’t hurt her a bit,” Virgil nodded, finally finding the strip of fabric and grasping it to pull it out. Virgil inspected the end, and the fabric wasn’t too frayed. The ear would just be a little shorter on one side. “Why don’t you give her a hug and tell her she’ll be okay while I go get my supplies,” Virgil handed the doll over to Patton, who took the doll and squeezed her desperately.

  “It’s gonna be okay Mrs. Bunnyface,” Patton muttered and Virgil rubbed Patton’s shoulder for a second to get up and dig in his closet for his sewing kit. He hadn’t needed it in a while. Virgil eventually found it in a shoebox of loose stuff and returned to sit on the bed next to Patton. Virgil picked up the detached ear and carefully tucked in the frayed part of the fabric and slid a pin out of the kit to pin it flat.

  “Can I have Mrs. Bunnyface back?” Virgil asked softly as he pulled a small tan threaded bobbin to match her ear color as close as possible. Patton kissed the doll’s nose before nodding and handing it back. Virgil held the doll between his legs and threaded the needle quickly before pulling his legs up on the bed to hold her closer to him. He carefully slid the needle right at the fold of the fabric on the ear and ladder stitched the ear back on to the doll’s head, at the seam of the low-pile fur, as closely matching the other side as he could. Patton flinched and swallowed the first time he saw the needle go into her head, but Virgil gave him as reassuring a smile as he could possibly muster and he seemed to accept it.

  “Is she okay?” Patton asked meekly. Virgil shifted his knees against each other to make the doll nod its head, and Patton looked enamored, making a tiny happy squeak. He still had the tear streaks down his face, but he finally didn’t look so miserable.

  “Do you want to see something cool?” Virgil asked temptingly.

  “Mm-hm,” Patton nodded, looking a little concerned. Virgil pulled the needle through the last part on the head and tugged at the thread gently, and it pulled the rabbit’s ear on to its head stitch by stitch. Patton’s eye’s widened, and his mouth dropped. “Are you a wizard?” He asked in awe.

  “Shh, don’t tell anyone,” Virgil put his finger up to his lips and whispered quietly. Patton nodded brightly and grabbed the edge of the bed and kicked his legs, miming zipping up his lips. Virgil tied off the knot and put a small dab of superglue on the spot before cutting off the thread and passing her back to Patton. Patton’s eyes glittered and reached out for her tentatively. “You’ll have to be careful with her ear from now on, okay?” Virgil said and put his hand on Patton’s back while he happily squeezed his doll again.

  “’Kay!” Patton chirped, looking at the base of the ear with wonder.

  “How about we go to the kitchen and we split an apple? I bet you’re hungry after all those emotions,” Virgil offered softly as he put the supplied back in his kit and closed it up. Patton nodded and hopped off Virgil’s bed, not taking his eyes off the doll as he headed back out the bedroom door.

  “Can we have it with peanut butter?” Patton asked, looking up to Virgil who was now following behind him down the hall to the kitchen.

  “Yeah. I’ll even put raisins and cinnamon in the peanut butter,” Virgil smiled down to Patton, and he grinned and ran to the kitchen. Virgil chuckled and followed after Patton.

—

  Patton was passed out in his jammies on the couch after dinner, holding Mrs. Bunnyface tightly under a soft knitted throw while a cartoon played on the TV. Logan put down his tablet and was about to get up to carry Patton off to bed, but Virgil put his arm on Logan’s shoulder to stop him from getting up.

  “What’s wrong, Virgil?” Logan asked quietly. Virgil got up to pick up Patton instead, carefully draping him against his chest and heading off to Patton’s bedroom to tuck him in. Virgil laid him down in bed, making sure not to lay the doll’s floppy ears under Patton as he held on tight, even in his sleep. He turned on the white noise machine and the nightlight before closing up and heading back out into the living room.

  “You wanted to tuck him in?” Logan asked curiously.

  “He had a tough day,” Virgil nodded and sat back down next to Logan, taking the remote and ending the kid’s cartoon and switching it to a show he wanted to watch. Logan hummed and nodded, turning his attention back to his tablet. Virgil settled on Avatar and looked to Logan for a moment. “Hey, dad?”

  “Yes, Virgil?” Logan looked up from his tablet to Virgil.

  “Can I get a ride into school tomorrow from you or papa?” Virgil asked carefully, shifting slightly back from Logan. 

  “Do you need to go early?” Logan asked curiously.

  “I need to go a little late, actually,” Virgil said sheepishly, raising his shoulders to brace himself.

  “Why on earth would you need to go to school late?” Logan furrowed his eyebrows. Virgil flinched slightly back from Logan's upset expression. 

  “Not after the bell!” Virgil added quickly and held up his hands. “I just need to have a word with someone at Patton’s bus stop tomorrow morning,” Virgil explained airily.

  “Should I be concerned?” Logan said, raising his eyebrow, his expression changing quickly from bothered to inquisitive. 

  “Nah,” Virgil waved his hand dismissively. “I’ve got this,” Virgil smirked and leaned back against the couch. Logan stared at Virgil impassively for a moment longer before returning to his tablet.

i need dad!twins reacting to their teenage daughters getting their first period while you’re not home ❤️

Grayson: Grayson would worry for his little girl but not be too scared. He knows how periods worked. You had been together for 18 years. Two years of dating, one year of engagement, and 15 years of marriage. So after all that time, he knew a thing or two about menstruation. Now you have a 14-year-old daughter who just started her period. You, on the other hand, weren’t there. You had to go home because your grandma was sick and your mom needed someone there with her. “Dad” she’d say as he sits and watches some show on tv. “Yes, Addison?” he’d say. “Um, I think I um started my uhh period and mom is out of uhh stuff” she’d mumble. “Does your sister have any?” he’d ask. “Neither of us has had to worry about it until now” she admitted. “Alright, bug. I’ll run you a bath and while you’re in there I will go to the store to get you some stuff, ok?” he’d say hugging her tightly. Addy would run to her room to get some comfy clothes while her dad ran her a bath with lots of bubbles and some essential oils. He’d grab a towel and throw it in the dryer, then grab a plastic bag to throw away any soiled clothes she had, and a speaker for her to Bluetooth her music. He would knock on her door. “I got you a plastic bag for any of the clothes you want to throw out, a speaker so you can listen to some music, and there’s a towel in the dryer I’ll grab before I leave,” he told her as she scurried into the bathroom. Grayson grabbed the towel after grabbing his wallet and keys then ran back to the bathroom, knocking then reaching his hand in so his daughter could grab the towel. Grayson ran to the store buying midol, some chocolates, a tub of ice cream, a heating pad, a box of pads, a box of tampons, and a new movie to watch. He pulled into the driveway just as Addy was finishing her bathe. His phone began ringing. “Dad, where are you. I’m done with my bath” she admitted. “I’m coming in now” he said as he walked in and headed back to the bathroom handing her the pads through the cracked door. He went to the living room and grabbed some blankets. He put the ice cream in the freezer grabbing the chocolates and other snacks. Addison came downstairs to see her dad running around like a mad man. “Dad, what is all this?” she’d ask. “I got you some midol, chocolates, there is ice cream in the freezer, plus all of this” he said lifting his arms full of foods. “I figured we could watch the movie I rented and eat our feelings,” he said. “ I love you, dad. You’re the best” she said wrapping her arms around the big lug of a dad she had. “I love you too, Addison,” he said kissing her head as they headed to the living room for their movie night.

Now Ethan on the other hand not so calm, cool, and collected. “Hey, uhh dad?” Lorelai asked. “Hey, what’s up?” he asked seeing the concern on his daughter’s face. “I’m bleeding,” she said. “From where? I don’t see anything” he said. “From my uhh, yeah” she stuttered and he figured it out. “WHAT DO YOU MEAN YOU’RE BLEEDING. YOU’RE 11. YOU ARE TOO YOUNG FOR THAT” Ethan yelled. “Daddy, don’t yell” she’d say as she began crying. Lorelai was the biggest daddy’s girl you would ever meet but this scared her. Ethan NEVER yelled at her. She had her dad wrapped around her finger ever since the day she was born. Ethan would feel awful for scaring her and making her feel bad. “Oh no, Lorelai” he’d coo hugging her immediately. “I’m not mad at you. You didn’t do anything wrong. You’re just young and when you get your period, it means you’re turning into a woman and that absolutely terrifies your poor dad. I’m not very good with this kind of stuff. Your mom is, your aunt is, hell even your uncle Gray is. I overreacted and I’m sorry, ok?” he’d apologized and she’d nod into his chest with tears still running down her face. “I’ll go check to see if mom has anything and you go hang out in the bathroom” he suggested as they headed their separate ways. A few minutes later he was rummaging around before he found a full box of pads with a sticky note “For Lorelai’s 1st period”. Ethan was in absolute awe of his wife and how she had this already planned out as their daughter was only 11.  Which was still a little young for a period but not too early. Ethan went back to the bathroom to see his daughter sitting on the edge of the tub. “I’ll go get you some jammies while you take care of this,” he said. “Dad?” Lorelai pondered. “What’s the matter?” he asked. “I don’t know how to do this, mom never showed me” she admitted. Ethan died a little on the inside. His face falling and turning pale. “Well fuck” he sighed as he wracked his brain for a better answer. “How about this we will figure it out then you can do it on your own once we find out, alright?” he suggested and she nodded. They opened the box of pads and pulled one out. “I think I remember seeing your mom use one of these back in the day” he admitted. “Gross” Lorelai said as Ethan chuckled. He opened the small, multicolored packaging. A small cotton strip lay in his hand as he pulled it off of the plastic. “It’s sticky so I’m guessing this goes on your underwear then you pull this off and these little wings come out to attach to the side for extra support. Not too scary right?” he asked his daughter. “Dad, I think you were more scared than I was” she joked. “You’re probably right. You do all of this and hopefully your mom will be back soon for any other questions” he said. “Good because you aren’t very good at this” she giggled. “Well thanks, kiddo,” Ethan said as he side hugged his daughter before he left her in the bathroom to handle her business.

Childs Play and Accidental Drownings.

I'm changing up the drowning of Alex's headcanon in my head a bit. This is the new version.  There is some fluff but in the end, it’s just sadness and trauma. 

Trigger Warning: (Mentions of death of a child. childhood trauma.)

The twins cheerfully, play away in their jammies early in the morning making a mess of the living room, having an imaginary intergalactic battle between them.

Throwing pillows, pouncing on the sofas and one another, annoying Severin who was trying to watch something on the telly.

Sebastian flops down on him. Laughing, seeing the annoyance on his face.

“It’s too early for this!”

Severin grunts, pushing Sebastian off him next to him on the couch. A pillow comes flying into his face.

And Alex laughs.

“Can you two please go play elsewhere?!”

Severin sighs, picking up the pillow off his lap, returning it to Sebastian, pushing it against his chest, giving it back as the child  stands on the sofa cushion next to him.

Missing his footing Sebastian falls down on the cushion, frowning at his older brother blaming him for his fall.

“No! You go away! We found this planet first you pesky invader!”

The five year old screams at Severin with his bossiest voice, standing up on the sofa again lifting the pillow Severin gave him, above his head to land it on Severin’s.

Not turning to see what he was doing, knowing his brother well enough, he speaks

“Don’t you dare Sebastian, I will hurt you, and when I do you will go cry to mum like a baby.”

The older Moran threatens his brother sternly, lifting his hand up, resting it against the pillow stopping Sebastian from even trying to bring it down on him.

“Severin, stop!”

Sebastian whinnes flopping down on the sofa again, crossing his arms across his chest, sulking.

Slidding off the cushion he turns to Severin; glaring darkly at him; deciding to continue being a little shit towards his older brother in revenge, Sebastian snatches the remote off his hands, throwing it across the room, screaming.

“GO AWAY! You are ruining our game, Severin!”

Severin’s jaw opens a little watching the little bastard throw the control remote, over Alex’s head making it crash against the wall, landing with such force he was surprised it did not break.

“Sebastian, what the hell?!….”

Severin shouts annoyed.  Standing up, he shoves Sebastian out of the way, stalking across the room to pick it up.

“You are really freaking annoying when you bloody want to be, you know?!”

He sighs.

While he leaves his seat, Alex runs up to the couch across from their father’s arms chair  joining Sebastian on the sofa jumping on the cushions like two wild monkeys, exploding with laughter,  holding hands, pouncing happily.

Returning to the sofa, watching  the spectacle Severin rolls his eyes trying not to smile at how cute they looked.

Wrapping his arms around Alexander’s waist he lifts him off his seat, blowing a raspberry on his neck

“You need to get off my seat, lexy”

He chuckles placing the boy back down on the floor.

Alex laughs and runs back to their father’s arm chair grabbing a pillow from the floor next to it, climbing back on the sofa.

“And you”

he says pointing his finger at Sebastian.

“You, need to stop being a brat, and let me watch my show in peace.”

he scolds him.

Frowning, Sebastian tries to bite his finger not liking being told off.

“And you need to GO AWAY!”

He screams again, glaring at his brother.

“Nope I’m not leaving, you know I watch this show every Saturday morning and you need to stop acting out.”

Severin hums, pulling his finger away from the little menace, just in time.

“Behave yourself, what the hell is wrong with you?! honestly,Sebastian”

Placing his hand over the boy’s face he shoves him backwards on the sofa, again making him flop down on his back.

A pillow comes flying across the room, landing to the back of his head.

Alex stands on the arm chair across the room glaring at him.

“Leave Sebby alone, Rin!”

The youngest Moran growls at Severin picking up another pillow, threatening to throw it.

Watching him Severin rolls his eyes and just sits back down, As he does Sebastian jumps on to his knees and starts hitting him.

“Stop! God damn it Sebastian, stop!”

He groans losing his patience with him, grabbing his hands together holding them tightly making him struggle to break free.

“Ow! Ow! Rin let me go!”

Sebastian whines trying to yank his little hands free from the teen's strong grip. His blue eyes welling up with tears.

“Will you stop, being a nuisance and let me watch tv in peace?”

Severin glares raising an eyebrow.

“Let him go! Now!”

Alex screams launching himself towards Severin, lifting his hands up, as if he was going to fight him.

Severin sighs lifting Alexander up by the waist as he comes running, and sebastian by his hands, swinging them both onto the sofa letting go of them, to tickle them having both boys explode with giggles.

Deciding they had enough he lets go of them, sitting down again, trying to continue watching tv, hopefully having his brothers settle down now.

After recovering from the brutal tickling attack Alex and Sebastian continue to wreak havoc around the living room until they hear their father come out of his room and walk towards the stairs.

Hearing the man’s footsteps climbing down the steps, the twins stop playing and  run to the couch flopping next to Severin, acting cute , forcing themselves under Severin’s arms. Sebastian sits on one side as Alex does the same on the other, pretending to have been watching tv with their brother the whole time.

The living room a mess around them.

“Morning, boys”

Augustus says coming down the stairs, passing through the living room, to the kitchen.

“Hi, dad!”

They call out in unison

Stopping by the kitchen door he turns to them, making eye contact with the twins.

“Alex, Sebastian, you boys better clean up the mess you’ve made, if you want to have any breakfast at all, you understand?”

He asks, raising an eyebrow at them.

Nodding they both call out.

“Yes dad!”

Watching him disappear into the kitchen. Both boys sigh, sliding down the sofa starting to cleaning up.

As they lifted pillows and the odd toy Sebastian of course being the mischievous little boy he was, tries to start a pillow fight with his brother, again. Hitting Alex with the pillow he held, soon getting  hit in return.

Having a small pillow fight they  teaming up hitting Severin at the same time laughing. But seeing Severin’s face they know better than to continue.

“I swear to god, if you keep this up I will pack nothing but vegetables in your lunches for a whole month!”

He hisses at them, yanking the pillows away from them, tossing them on the sofa.

Giving up on their mission to annoy their brother, they continue cleaning finishing tidying up the living room, rather quickly.

Hearing their mother call them over for breakfast.

The twins run through to the kitchen, racing each other, giggling, pushing one another, being brothers, playing.

But as soon as they get to the table, their mother sends them straight back out to the bathroom to wash their hands.

Returning to the table and settling down they have a quiet breakfast; a calm down after the mad morning of play they had.

Their father announces the plan of going to the lake for a picnic, and after preparing the food with Severin’s help, Marilyn spends an agonizing 45 minutes trying to get the twins bathed and ready to leave.

Once everyone was packed and ready in the car they finally are on their way to the lake, only 20 minutes away by car.

Severin of course is tortured by his brothers sitting each to his side chattering away, eventually punching each other and him in some dumb game they made up.

It was all fun and games until he got annoyed enough with their sharp little punches, specially Sebastian’s who tried to hit him as hard as he possibly could. And punched them both back, making them cry.

“I told you to leave me alone!”

He hissed, at them ignoring their crying and his mother’s scolding.

Once at the park the twins run around like mad, playing and annoying Severin again, their favorite pass time whenever their older brother is home on holiday.

“You keep throwing stuff at me Sebastian and I will drown you in the lake!”

the older Moran hisses at his younger brother about to lose his patience with him again, after Sebastian throws a pebble at him, landing in his eye.

They were close enough to their parents to have Augusts hear and  threatens the boy.

“Sebastian, keep this up, boy and I’ll shove you in the trunk of the car for the rest of the day”

His father says, half joking, but not really, the boys knew he would very much do it.

Not long before, he threatened Sebastian that if he kept wetting the bed, even though it wasn’t him but Alex, and Sebastian just covered for him, that he would have him sleep in the cellar and he did, the day after he said it, making the boy cry half of the night growing terrified of the dark.

It was a pretty traumatic event for him and now he couldn’t sleep without a torch and actually started wetting the bed because of it.

Sighing he leads Alex away from their parents and Severin deeper into the woods.

Their mother tells them not to go too far and they scream back that they won't but soon book it further into the woods giggling as they run, feeling free for a little while, away from constantly being told off.

Eventually their parents sent Severin to fetch them and hearing his voice they decide to run further in, eventually getting to the lake.

Sebastian squeals seeing a little boat tied to the dock.

“Lex! Lex! Look! We can be pirates!”

Sebastian says grabbing his brother's hand, guiding him to the little boat, with a grin.

Alex follows and watches him climb inside. The boat wobbles a bit, making Sebastian giggle. Before he helps Alex on it.

“Yay!” Alex cheers sitting across Sebastian on the boat.

Playing pretend for a while, rocking the boat enough to untie the loosely knotted rope around the dock post, the boat breaks free, floating away.

Not realizing it at first the boys keep playing away happily, looking  down the edge of the boat, Alex grins seeing a couple of fishes swimming close to the surface. Grinning he stretches his hand trying to catch one.

Getting to the dock Severin sees his brothers floating away on the boat and panics. Neither one of them knew how to swim.

“What are you doing?!”

Severin shouts at them.

Hearing him the boys look up, realizing they were far away from the shore.

Panicking Sebastian gets up, accidentally rocking the boat too much, causing Alex, who's more than half his body was already hanging off the boat, to fall in.

Splashing as he lands in the lake Alexander screams thrashing around trying to grab Sebastian's hand as the boy panicks trying to grab him and pull him back into the boat.

“Alex! Alex! Alex grab my hand!” The child screams stretching his hand at his brother as much as he can, trying so very hard to grab hold of him.

As Alexander panics he swallows a lot of water, each gulp being worse than the last, until he can not breathe at all.

Seeing Alexander fall Severin Jumps in the water swimming towards them, soon wrapping one arm around his brother's sinking body, pulling him out of the water into the boat again.

Sebastian immediately rushes over to his brother. Big fat, desperate tears rolling down his cheeks

“Alex?” He asks meekly, laying his little hand on his brother's chest, trying to shake him awake.

“Sebastian, move!”

Severin orders him climbing on the boat, immediately attempting CPR on the child.

Seeing he wasn't responding with the CPR Severin grabs the oars and starts rowing back to shore with all his might.

Sebastian meanwhile tries to shake Alex again. Tears rolling down his face a little harder and his voice growing with desperation.

“Alex! Please, wake up!”

The boy sobs confused and terrified for his brother.

“What the hell were you two thinking, huh?! Why did you ever think climbing into a boat ALONE was a good idea?!”

Severin scolds him, panicking himself.

Sebastian doesn't respond he just sobs, holding on to his brother's hand begging him to wake up.

As soon as they reach the shore Severin scoops up both boys and sprints back towards their parents.

Arriving to where Augustus and Marilyn where he screams at them to get in the car, just ranting about Alex falling in the lake and him not breathing.

Not really having time to ask anything further both parents rush to do as Sevrin asks and rush the boy to the emergency room.

During the frantic car ride there Sebastian is so distressed he has an accident.

Holding Alexander's hand, whispering for him to wake up.

Arriving at hospitals Augustus gets out of the car opening the backdoor taking the unconscious boy out of Severin's arms, rushing him inside while Marilyn parks the car and they go meet Augustus in the waiting room.

Everyone is too much of an anxious, worried mess to ask about what happened until after the doctors come out to tell them they couldn't save Alexander.
