#cass is the math nerd of the family

[caitlynmeow]

Modern AU:

Alcina's daughters are going to inherit their mother's work and wealth so to them a lot of things are just, there. They were enrolled in the best schools when they were young, and when it was time for university it was clear what they are going to study because if you're going to run the centuries old family business its makes sense that you will be getting a business degree.

They don't really need a degree. They never have to worry about getting a job and it's more of a formality than an actual necessity. Alcina is a noblewoman with ancient wealth that keeps growing with the family business. Work and earning money aren't things the daughters even consider because this kind of thing is so out of their orbit. It's just who they are. They don't quite understand money because they never think about it. They just want things and it's all...there. Promptly.

Bela and Daniela did study business in university for those obvious reasons. Cassandra, however? This poor misguided soul always felt more comfortable around numbers and she decided to study something different.

While both of her sisters went for business majors, she decided to study applied mathematics because she's good with numbers and math was her favorite subject in school.

More specifically, Cassandra chose to study Applied Mathematics, and studying things like calculus based probability. Not the easiest of things to study, but Alcina would never stop her daughters from choosing their own path in academics.

It's always been like this. Daniela would complain about not understanding math, and having a hard time with homework, but she’d avoid going to Cassandra because her older sister gets mad at her very quickly because she doesn’t understand some very basic concepts (Daniela gets it, it’s just that Cass is so advanced with maths she can’t really communicate with her sister about it)

Because Cassandra is okay with calculus. She doesn’t even use a calculator for most problems because she can do these problems in her head and Dani is just like @__@ “Can you do this the normal way please?” And Cassandra is at her limit because why are you not getting it’s so easy????

After what you blessed us with last time, I HAVE to say math nerd au!! I can’t even decide on an appropriate quote, I‘m still reeling from the cass drama

WIP Wednesday - 10/18/23 (Closed) | Math Nerd AU

"Go rinse your eyes out Neil. I have a spare fresh shirt I can let you borrow too." Abby says expression far more relaxed now that the interlopers are gone.

"Thanks Abby." Neil smiles and heads to the bathroom down the hall. Andrew can feel the interest of the other Foxes on his shoulders and of his own family when he goes to sit back down. He returns to eating his stuffing and the cranberry sauce but his skin itches without Neil as a barrier.

Abby comes up, "Andrew, can you bring this shirt to Neil?" she asks and he knows she's giving him an out but Andrew isn't about to deny himself the possible opportunity to see Neil shirtless and escape the heavy stares of his team and family.

Curious Brothers [1]

Sooo, I have over 90 pictures from this round. They are a crowded family of adults and have a lot going on. This will probably take 4 parts! These guys used to be my favourite household because they were all so nerdy.

The reason why I no longer say they're my favourite is Pascal is reminds me of my ex

Community sweetheart Vidcund reminds me of someone who failed to even become an ex! I'm still friends with this person and like our ol'Vidcund here he is hot. Sadly, can't say the same thing for Pascal xD (purely subjective - you are free to find Pascal hot, I just really didn't end that relationship under good terms. It wasn't bad it was just my ex was so fucking boring)

I haven't met anyone who reminds me of Lazlo or vise versa, yet. Still I'm 2/3 with Curious boys xD Anyways, here is Lazlo in his weed garden.

Brotherly bonding, shit talking Loki xD

Alright, first alien baby! And I've done the math and this baby is the first child that is born into the town. Brandi is the only other person who starts out pregnant but she is in her 1st trimester so baby curious is still the oldest.

I watched the cinematic for this one because I love it :D And we have a baby girl! I named her Cassiopeia because there is a supernova named Tycho in this constellation and it's long been my tradition to name this baby Cass if it's a girl.

Uncle Lazlo on duty! Pascal was very tired so he went to sleep, right after the birth.

Well, his last name is Curious. I think he would just go in. I don't think Lazlo has the patience to go back and get help.

oops, oh well.

Not related part of Singles and Ajay has come to welcome them to the 'hood!

Cundest of the cunds Vidcund is having an argument with Kristen xD

What the...?? Ajay just came up from nowhere and kissed Erin!

Lazlo gets in there to have a chat with her. They are getting along well!

Holy hell, Acr xD

Lazlo checked the girls out and he has one bolt with Erin so him and Ajay are basically fighting over her affections xD

hahahaha, in the fucking same place xD

Ajay is not out of the fight yet!

And he takes things to another level xD

Erin got a crush on Ajay now. Really E, from a butt grab? That did it for you?

I think someone wants to be boned by the town casanova

Behind the wall we have Gieke and Nervous getting along. Redhead came to visit the Curious boys, it must be the nerd signal they have up that he saw and Nervous was here because Pascal invited him over.

Okay, this is adorable. Two shy sims trying to flirt. I might go play Chester to see where this would go 👀I normally have Nervous move in with Olive but that happens after they build a relationship and he might just move to Downtown (where Chester is) instead. I think he had enough of the desert.

Next day, Vidcund wished to buy new clothes and I took him outside.

I still need more cc but I like this for now.

I also gave him a new haircut to remind myself of the friend more xD jokes aside guys, he looks like my friend so much. Only difference is the eye colour

Oh, look who just texted Lazlo... and he has a wish to ask someone out on a date!

will continue shortly!

[tracybirds]

friendship is magic and i'm thinking hard about tracy fam and their relationships <3 this is simply a list of possibilities for me to use to pick and choose :D Named characters are background characters, then I'm listing the circles they run in

just some silly fun for a thursday morning, gonna go do dishes and maths now :D

SCOTT

Marion Van Arkel

Kat Cavanaugh

Asher and Finn

Toshi Murakami

tracy industries people

uni friends (the man needs people to geek out about maths with)

personally i don't think he kept in touch with any air force people but i guess there's them too

VIRGIL

Cass McCready

online engineering community (as in Nutty's V.T. Green bc i'm never not obsessed with that fic)

art group

orchestra friends

jazz band buds (Virgil is in a jazz band and they meet up monthly for jazz band shenanigans)

JOHN

Ridley O'Bannon

Tycho Reeves (trust me on this one, I know they didn't really interact but also trust me)

space fam (neighbours group chat but the neighbours are all in space.... they have a chess tournament once a year)

stingray fandom friends

astrophysics nerds

GORDON

Robby Shelby

Buddy and Ellie Pendergast

Scraps

enviro friends (*cough cough* @gumnut-logic's Raoul Island crew)

old swim team

WASP buddies

ALAN

Brandon Barrenger

Conrad

cavern quest / gaming friends

homeschool "pen pals"

Alan needs more friends the poor kid must get lonely :'(

KAYO

Wayne Rigby

Doyle

Andi Houseman

GDF buds that Rigby introduces her to

she has the whole tracy fam so it's a little different for her i think bc she gets to live with her best friends* all the time

BRAINS

Moffie

a select few other science friends

his sister's acting friends that have adopted him (based on the linked headcanon)

GRANDMA TRACY

Kip Harris (get it Grandma!!!)

i like to think she's in an aviation club

also doctor friends :D

give me a stitch and bitch for grandma lol

keeps in touch with all the kansas friends <3

JEFF

Colonel Casey

Ned Tedford (once Jeff comes back and they go rescue this hapless man AGAIN, Jeff invites him back for dinner and they become good friends I'm holding onto this one)

air force buddies

rich people pals

Penelope's Dad (Hugh????)

*disclaimer that my personal interpretation of kayo is that she's a good friend who is like a sister and the six of them casually refer to each other as such but isn't actually adopted bc her dad by all accounts is still alive and all that and personally I found the way TAG handled that weird.... but my experience is that I call my two best friends sisters without a trace of irony bc our families were closely intertwined and i've known them since birth and grown up with them. I even lived with them for a time as a child when my parents couldn't look after me. That's what Kayo and the boys feels like to me and is obvs very influenced by my own experience of being sent to live with another family while growing up.

read my full review of how to win a breakup by farah heron here.

An “it” couple’s breakup becomes a sporting event in a deliciously charming novel about the games people play in the name of love.

First, math genius and gamer-nerd Samaya gets dumped by her boyfriend. Then he sabotages her job and hooks up with her frenemy. What could be worse? Clearly, her golden-boy ex is winning the breakup. The only way Samaya can get some rebound cred is to find someone new. Even if she has to fake it.

At a volunteer bake sale, Samaya meets a sweet opportunity. Daniel is a handsome hockey jock and a whiz when it comes to lemon squares and brownies. And he agrees to play along. Quid pro quo. He’ll pretend to be the boyfriend of her dreams if Samaya helps him pass calculus.

This may well be the recipe for the best revenge, but Samaya has no idea how complicated it will get. As they whip up an imitation romance, and a bumbleberry pie, resisting each other’s very real charms proves impossible. Samaya finds herself on an unexpected journey of secrets, self-discovery, and the true meaning of moving on.

my review:

Although I haven’t read any books by this author before, I had heard good things about her works, so I impulsively hit download when I saw it on Netgalley. I mean, some thought did go into the decision: I read fake dating in the summary, and we all know I am a sucker for fake dating stories. How to Win a Breakup was an adorable romance that also navigates dealing with your prejudices.

A summer has passed since Samaya suffered a devastating sudden break-up that also cost her a summer job that would have looked great on her college applications. When the school year starts with her ex Devin immediately getting together with her frenemy, Samaya and her friends Cass and Aimee photoshop her into a photo of her longtime gamer buddy, LostAxis—whom she’s never met IRL—to imply that they’re dating. However, when Samaya starts volunteering at a family shelter, she meets Daniel, the boy in the picture—but it’s immediately clear that he’s not LostAxis. After she confesses that her entire school thinks they’re together, he agrees to fake dating her in exchange for calculus tutoring, but this comes with its own set of obstacles.

The romance was so cute! Daniel and Samaya can’t be more different, but he’s so earnest and cheerful that she can’t help but be drawn into him. Their fake relationship is relatively easy; although they hadn’t really known each other beforehand, they quickly become friends at least. I liked reading about how they bond despite having vastly different interests, and even begin to take an interest in hobbies they previously disliked but the other loves.

[cyberbirb-arts]

Although the boys were brought up as criminals, I really believe a lot of storyline is missing evolving Kiriko's mother, Asa-sensei. Hanzo became something of a teacher's pet cause he's an absolute nerd. Genji would definitely have skipped lessons and ran off to the arcade lol. The elephant in the room - Genji's "death" - still leaves a lot of tension after all those years. Hanzo's still disappointed in himself, and leaving his swordsmanship behind definitely left a mark on Asa - Kiriko: "yeah i'll tell mom you're thinking about picking it back up" - I have wondered if Hanzo taught himself the bow during his travels and became attached to it. You can see her sword in Kiriko's cinematic and I still hate that she's not in-game anywhere, I'd love to see her fight.

I'm gonna go on a tangent about Hanzo's wording - but I always laugh hearing him say that firearms make killing too simple: he enjoys a challenge. (And it's very satisfying - no other dps makes me feel the same lol.) He excelled in math/arts but found difficulty in social gatherings. Genji would often tell him to lighten up but Hanzo's the oldest, the role model. Although Genji disconnected himself from family, he still went to his brother for guidance. I can imagine Hanzo trying but failing to teach Genji some things - "nah i wanna play video games bruh" 😂 Kiriko seems to act like both brothers, happy-go-lucky like Genji when he was younger but she also has more reserved, poetic interactions like Hanzo does. I think she has more pride having been trained by her mother.

As far as Cass goes, I wish we knew more about his childhood like we had glimpses of Ashe's - grown up in a rich but emotionally distant family. I'm sure Overwatch/Blackwatch provided some form of education: medical, language, tactics - and yes, Mercy would have "no mercy" teaching haha! I think Ana and Reinhardt would be great teachers as well.

A random question just popped into my head.

Did Genji and Hanzo attend normal school or were they homeschooled? and if they were homeschooled where they properly homeschooled so that they have qualifications? or do they like legally not have any form of credentials?!

Going if the path of no credentials....that is probably why they can't get any jobs apart from assassins... Because we know they're educated it's just whether legally they have the documents saying they have their education.

Because I can imagine that the clan just homeschooled all the children in the clan and then part of the curriculum would be the ninja training ,which they prioritized. I can imagine they both speak multiple languages because that would be ideal foreign trading. And we already know Hanzo is amazing at geometry.

Similar note, did Cassidy ever get that education considering he ran off and joined/founded a gang as a young teen. I imagine personally that when OverWatch found out Cassidy didn't have the formal education they made sure he got it, at least enough to graduate high school. But if they didn't, and didn't know he didn't have the qualifications, is he in the same metaphorical boat that Hanzo and Genji are were they just can't get any other job anywhere cuz they don't have the bare minimum to get any regular job and can only be assassins?!

[nightwings-fingerstripes]

Am I the only one who sometimes just asks people why do they think I like nightwing

And then get really annoyed when they say

Cuz he’s ✨ hot ✨

Like please that’s just a BONUS

I have never related to any character more than nightwing and I will list almost everything

Oldest siblings ™️

Family expects us to be absolutely perfect

Family expects us to be there for them even though we rarely if ever ask them to be there for us and if we do they probably won’t even bother

The number of siblings we have (him having Jason Tim Damian and Cass {I know Duke exists but idk if Bruce adopts him or not but I like to think he has adopted Cass} me having three sisters and one brother [reversed genders])

Liking the youngest sibling more than the rest

Having my younger brother be almost taller than me (he’s getting there 🤦🏻‍♀️ )

Blaming ourselves when things go wrong

Overthinking everything

Perfectionists ™️

Enjoying background noises while working on things

Liking healthy food but people only seeing us eating unhealthy foods

Both having somewhat unhealthy sugar addiction (him through cereal and me coke a cola )

Being smart but acting somewhat stupid like i don’t think anyone’s first impression of me would be she’s smart and same thing with him (him being thought of as a himbo and me a comic book nerd )

Both having black hair

Both having blue as a favorite color

Both thinking I achieve that but not be able to do something small like what I have in my hand

I headcanon his favorite subjects to be science and maths and physics I still haven’t started with physics but I can define you say I love maths and science

Leaders ™️

Looked up at

Always there for friends and people we dont even know

Both of us have a bad temper

Both of us aren’t exactly religious

And the list could go on really but like him being hot is just a bonus and why is it a bonus you may ask

Its cuz I then have bomb wallpaper

There are so many reasons to love this man and him looking stunning is not one of them

[hintofcolor]

Things I’ve managed to convince myself are canon:

Dick was born in Romania and spent his entire childhood traveling with the circus not once settling down therefore when his parents died in America (supposedly just another country they stopped in) he was forced to stay there. Meaning dick was an illegal immigrant for a long time while Bruce constantly was trying to use his money and power to get Dick legal without him leaving the country OR anyone finding out

This also means Dick couldn’t really speak English when he moved in with Bruce (this is backed up by him constantly dismantling the English language in the YJ cartoon)

All of the bat kids were bullied brutally in school

Bruce encouraged them to fight back just like Alfred did with him (“never throw the first punch but if get hit make sure they’re the ones that stay down”)

Dick spent a couple weeks in juvie after his parents died and it was the worst couple weeks of his life

Dick had a childhood crush on Wally (who is straight) when dick was 16 he sat Wally down and told him. He told him he expected nothing out of this confession he just hated feeling like he was lying to Wally, Wally understood and was really nonchalant about it nothing changed in their relationship

Jason grew up loving wonder woman and considered her his greatest inspiration in being a hero when he was robin

In return Diana absolutely adored Jason

When Jason got older his respect for Diana only grew and Diana constantly stood up for him, even going as far as (subtly) threatening Bruce a couple times

Jason can’t handle the smell of drugs at all, he always has to wear a filtered mask during drug busts just in case

Jason used to smoke but ever since coming back the smoke just reminds him of the explosion (I saw this somewhere I can’t remember where shout out to you tho)

Jason hates the color green

Tim was severely neglected as a child

Tim learned multiple different languages from all the nanny’s he’s had

Tim is an amazing photographer

All of Bruce’s kids are really close with Selina and go to her to talk or just if they need a break from Bruce and she absolutely adores it

This is one of the main reasons Bruce wanted to marry her

Bruce might be a little awkward and socially inept but he is a good father and loves all of his kids and even tho he might slip up sometimes he would NEVER (I’m looking at you Tim king) NEVER EVER intentionally hurt one of his kids physically or mentally BECAUSE THAT IS EXTEREMELY OUT OF CHARACTER @ ANY WRITER WHO HAS MADE BRUCE A JERK GOD LEARN YOUR CHARACTER JEEZ

Damian is a phenomenal artist and is considered a prodigy

It is something he keeps to himself however

Both Dick and Tim have gone and worked under Selina during thier robin days for a few weeks

The only person who is close to Dicks level when it comes to acrobatics is Selina

There are days where you are only allowed to speak in your native tongue to help Everyone keep up their language skills (Tim speaks Filipino dick speaks Romani Jason speaks Italian Stephanie speaks Portuguese Damian speaks Arabic bruce switches Cassie speaks Chinese) these are the days duke feels like slamming his head through a wall

All of the bat kids have green lantern shirts

Tim has a habit of stealing clothes from literally anyone

Tim prefers tea over coffee

Ace and Titus are both trained service dog however Titus is Damians specifically while Ace is trained to alert Alfred of Bruce and to alert Bruce of Dick Tim and Jason

Bruce is think about getting another dog for Cassie steph and duke because he doesn’t want to overwhelm Ace with 3 more people

Nobody in that spoiled family except for Jason and Alfred can make ANYTHING other that ramen cereal and toast

Dick is insanely healthy because that’s how he grew up in the circus AND the manor

Bruce once lit the refrigerator on fire trying to cook. No one knows how. He denies he ever did such to this day

Dick was considered a heartthrob as a teen and actually was featured on vogue in native dress and took the opportunity to talk about his culture

Vickie was fuming but so was Lois

Dick dresses like Harry styles. Convince me otherwise. I dare you.

However his go to look is a Hawaiian short tucked into black skinny jeans and black converse

Just like Selina everyone in the batfamily has a tendency to confide in Dinah

No homophobia sexism or racism is allowed in the Wayne house hold if you display any of the following you will promptly be kicked out. It has happened before

Cassie has punched lex Luther in the face at a gala

Bruce laughed

Cass has also only worn sweats and a sports bra to a gala

Cass is a ballet dancer and likes teaching her brothers the moves she has learned

When Bruce came back from the dead and found out the justice league thought Tim was going insane with grief and didn’t do anything about it he yelled and screamed for a solid hour. Then he went silent. for weeks he didn’t say a word. It was the most terrifying he had ever been

Duke hangs on to the fact that he is the only meta allowed in Gotham with absolute pride

All the robins check in on the kids from the ‘we are robin’ movement every now and again just to make sure they are okay

Adults are terrified of the bats however children love them

Every member of the batfamily has been called over by child screaming out their window only to spend the next hour helping said child with their homework

Batman makes sure he is approachable to children he wants them to feel safe enough around him to ask for his help no matter what

That has led to him: 1. Patching up stuff animals 2. Calming down imaginary friends 3. Giving opinions on important matters such as which color is the best 4. Helping with homework 5. Trying to be persuaded into convincing the parents not to make broccoli anymore. It’s his favorite part about putting on a mask

Teenagers tho a little more hesitant also approach him with a little more serious matters and more for advice. (How can I help my friend with depression? How can I help my anxiety? I think friend is doing drugs how can I help. I don’t think these are good people I’m hanging out with but now I’m too scared to stop)

However if teens catch any bat sitting on a rooftop close to their windows they ask more stupid type of questions

“Hey nightwing how do you ask out a girl?” “Red hood I’m trying to write this book so hypothetically how long does it take some one to bleed out?” “If I payed you would you take my physical for PE for me?” “How good do you think you would do on the pacer test?” “Can you tell my little sister to shut up, she’ll listen to you?” “How much do I have to pay you to scare my friend?”

Talks between people and the vigilantes from rooftop to window happen a lot and it is always the highlight of the patrol. They like that the people of Gotham trust them.

Jason was brought back via whatever that superboy reset was (I’m still a little fuzzy, sue me) clawed his way out of his grave and then found by Talia. He was then but in the pit for his head injuries. Making it easier for the shadows to manipulate and brainwash him into hating Bruce. However that’s the only thing they manipulated him into. Jason didn’t go ‘insane by the pit’ and his thoughts and stances on killing are his own. And the way Bruce handles Jason being back is what made Jason continue hating Bruce even aged the brainwashing ‘wore off’

The day his dad died was what Jason considered the best day of his life

Dick is extremely intelligent and was considered a child prodigy (this isn’t a headcanon this is actually canon some of y’all just forget and need to be reminded)

Dick loves math (also canon)

Jason can sing. Like really really well.

Theater Nerd™️ Jason Todd

Jason is scared of thunderstorms

Damian is afraid of heights

Lady shiva absolutely adores Tim

They have all been arrested a few times each for varying reasons when they were teenagers

If Alfred or Bruce yell one thier full names the other kids will cover for them but ONLY if they use the full name other wise it’s every man for himself

I know this one isn’t batfam but I think kon playes the electric guitar and has a really unique punk-ish vibe type singing voice (think hobo Johnson)

Dick has naturally curly hair

[thedumbasscourier]

ok so!! this courier is my house courier! hes not like Big Capitalist in Fancy Suit or anything. he’s more “man in his early 40s is tired and just wanted to help people while simultaneously not wanting to wake up to getting shot at”. he doesnt wear suits often, either.

in terms of his personality, hes kinda abrasive but a well-intentioned abrasive. it sometimes comes across as being a huge dick but hes genuinely not trying to be- most of the things he says is just to help. he also thinks VERY long term, which is why he sided with house. hes more relaxed in regard to the ncr, but he doesnt like the legion all that much. he finds house’s ego kinda not great but he still respects him a lot more than the others.

hes really good with scientific stuff and repairing weapons, but hes not a nerd or anything. he doesnt even like math. he just knows what hes talking about. he uses guns, too, cause he doesnt like to get close enough to people when fighting them.

his protegee!!!! is an ex-fiend. shes in her late teens, and she wasnt like. born into the fiend stuff. she just got high a lot and made fiend friends so thats how she became a fiend. but she tended to be a lot chiller than the other fiends. thats why the two didnt like. fight or anything. cause shes not like automatically hostile, they gotta shoot first and he didnt so. and plus she wanted to see vegas and take a shower.

shes actually pretty quiet and introspective once shes away from the fiends. shes kinda a social chameleon tbh. like around the fiends shes loud + obnoxious as hell but around everyone else shes just chill + mildly reserved. just relaxed. and she wont really talk to anyone except when shes spoken to, aside from the courier or the companions she got close. she really likes the courier since he got her to vegas + got her inside the lucky 38 + shes not a fiend anymore and shes just happy about that p much.

shes not TOO scientific, she cant do math to save her life- BUT shes really good at medicinal stuff. thats her strong point. very good at it. and she can also pick almost every lock she comes into contact with. doesnt matter.

and some fun lil facts:

the courier did the honest hearts + dead money + lonesome road dlc BUT his protegee accidentally went and did the whole big mt stuff. she was gone for almost 3 months. so like. whoops [but he cant get too mad bcus combined he was gone for longer. he can get extremely worried though]

the courier gets along with joshua really well, despite him being ex-legion. the protegee really likes 0, despite him hating the couriers boss.

the protegee Does Not Like Boone At All. she just doesnt. she doesnt trust first recon people. raul and arcade are super cool in her book! veronica was too. Was.

speaking of companions, the courier doesnt travel with most besides ed-e, since he does his traveling with her instead [cause what better teaching is hands-on-in-the-field experience?]

and also shes never met house. she wants to. the courier wants him to talk to her at SOME point. the courier has mentioned her to him before multiple times. but house wont. at least not until the 2nd battle of hoover dam. but she still does do quests and stuff for him [as a way of hands-on “show me what you learned and PLEASE DO IT RIGHT” and also “im gonna go to new canaan i know my boss wont talk to you but just heres some important stuff please do all that because i cant its important and if you need anything talk to raul or arcade or cass or lily or maybe boone if you want okay bye see you in a bit”. and also its easier to have 2 people than just 1]

-

Sounds like they’ve got a lot to do being the to of them! And like they’ve got an interesting dynamic going on between the two. I know I really enjoy found family kinda stuff. 

Also seems like the two of them get on quite the adventures! I gotta ask, why was for Veronica?

i have to know what’s happening with andrew in math nerd this week <3

WIP Wednesday - 11/15/23 (Closed) | Math Nerd AU

Andrew stays up the next night. Drake is gone back at the base and a part of Andrew hopes that the Spears find it suspicious that there are no more hauntings around their property now that he has left. He's sure at least Cass knows but Richard, smart man that he claims to be, might realize the pattern.

That next night Andrew, for the first time, watches Alex make his way into the Spears' yard and watches as he startles upon seeing Andrew sitting at the window.

"Hi." Andrew greets as if Alex isn't sneaking into his foster family's backyard.

"Hi." Alex greets back as if he wasn't sneaking into Andrew's foster family's backyard.

"Mr. Josten, this is a private family conversation. I would ask that you-"

"I mean you brought some stranger to a 'family conversation'." Neil shrugs pointing at Cass with a raised eyebrow. "Also a 'private family conversation'?" he looks around at where the other Foxes were lingering, all too hungry for gossip to not be listening in. "We're in someone else's living room?" he laughs.

"Neil," Nicky says Neil's name in a way that lets him know he wants Neil to stop.

"Sorry Nicky." Neil says with a shrug.

"I think it's pretty clear that you're not here to make up with me in any way shape or form. You wanted me to bring Andrew to that initial meet-up you proposed. Was she why?" he asks pointing at Cass.

"He has a right to know that he had family that died Nicholas." Luther says.

"Then just shoot him a text message or write him a letter. You had to meet in person?" Aaron asks standing next to Nicky with a hand on his cousin's shoulder.

"You seriously just came here to tell me that Richard died?" Andrew can't help but question Cass as he offered his napkin to Neil who took it and pressed it to his eyes. The wine had seemingly splashed right in them.

[jtl-fics]

Math nerd au please!

WIP Wednesday 1/31/24 (Closed) | Math Nerd AU

He tunes back in to Cass, "No! I swear Drake never did anything like that. He is a good big brother! He loved children. Andrew is safe here with me, w-we were planning on even adopting him!" Cass shouts.

"Ma'am, with the recent evidence we cannot let your foster child remain here in this house. We already have a new family for him." He hears an officer say and Andrew's heart is hammering in his chest as the door opens but no Alex has appeared in his window.

The officers take him out of his room, surprised to see that he was already packed to go. He is walked out and Cass is looking at him with huge watery eyes. "Andrew, Andrew I'm so sorry I'll come for you once your brother's name is cleared." she promises.

Andrew's eyes slide onto the table full of evidence and takes every horrible thing in at a glance.

[jtl-fics]

Math Nerd, bitte?

WIP Wednesday: 11-8-23 (Closed) | Math Nerd AU

Time with the Spears family is tense. His safety is their paranoia since someone has made it clear that they're watching them. Drake had been irritable enough that he had snapped at his own mother, something that had clearly shocked Cass.

There was the looks Richard gave him since their haunting had seemingly only begun once he had moved in. Still, Andrew knew that Cass was looking at her son outside of his bedroom door every night she was abruptly woken up.

Cass wasn't the type of woman to get mad at someone who she knew was blameless.
