Fic: Then I saw her face... Now I’m a believer (Halloween One-Shot)

Summary: Seven year old Cosima is excited to dress up as Shrek for Halloween. Seven year old Delphine is going as Princess Fiona even if her mother didn't approve. They meet while out trick-or-treating. It's a parallel universe where their souls find each other much earlier in their lives. Set in Canada, 2001. They're born in 1994 instead of 1984. Mrs. S. makes an appearance because I love her so much. Little Cophine + fluff to celebrate Halloween! One-shot.

Read on AO3 | FFN

Little Cosima jumps up and down in excitement that her father almost gives up on putting on the green paper mache ogre head on his daughter. He laughs and shakes his head, exasperated, sits back on the heels of his feet from his kneeling position at eye-level with his little girl.

“Cos, I won’t be able to finish putting on this Shrek costume on you if you don’t stay still.”

Gene Niehaus swears up and down that he’ll grow a decade older from just having to keep up with his seven year old ball of energy

Curly-haired, hazel-eyed Cosima with her bouncy and short curly hair giggles and grins from ear to ear, putting her hands behind her back, swaying side to side. She wore a white undershirt with a brown vest on top, brown pants and her arms were painted green. The child insisted on the green body paint.

“I’m sorry, daddy. I’ll keep still.”

The little girl pushes her new glasses up her small nose as she speaks. Her father just melts in adoration of his daughter, so he nods and grabs the green ogre head again and successfully puts it on his daughter’s head this time. He made sure that the head costume wasn’t too stuffy inside so that her daughter’s new glasses wouldn’t skew. They’d just gotten them after they noticed Cosima had difficulty recognizing objects at a distance. Their little girl had an early onset of astigmatism and nearsightedness. Once she got to wear the new pair, the child’s eyes had gone wide at all the bright colors and had squealed, “I can see now!” happily.

The professor gives his daughter a soft pat on her ogre costume’s head and peers under it to see the excitement on Cosima’s face when he says his next words.

“There you go, sweetie. All set for trick or treating!”

The way Cosima’s eyes lights up could rival New Year’s Eve at Times Square. There were a million fireworks in those hazel eyes and her father thinks there is nothing more worth going through hell and back for in this world.

The child squeals.

“Yay!”

She resumes her bouncing and clapping and hugs her father tight before running off to grab her little plastic pumpkin to fill with treats tonight and mumbling, ‘thank you, daddy, thank you, daddy,' over and over under her breath. Cosima zips out of the living room with her candy basket and goes to her mother who was waiting for them outside.

The professor expels a breath and shakes his head. He treasures every moment with his daughter but hopes for his sanity that his child eventually mellows down. He really can’t keep up with her energy. He gets up slowly.

Shrek Cosima’s head pops up from behind the divider of the hallway leading to their front door.

“DOONKEY!”

The child bellows kn the lowest voice she could manage, imitating her favorite character from her favorite film.

The professor sighs and puts on the headband with donkey ears he made to match her daughter’s costume.

“Alright, alright, Shrek. I’m coming.”

Cosima giggles and whooshes out of his sight again. Her father just shakes his head again.

Little Delphine holds herself completely still as her mother fusses over her green dress.

“Ma cherie, you behave. No running around or making trouble. Comprenez-vous?”

“Oui, maman.”

Delphine dares not make a move because she is aware that her mother is already upset over her not wearing the pink Princess Peach costume her mother previously bought and insisting on wearing a green dress; the little French girl wanted to go as Princess Fiona from Shrek and her mother had flat out said no to her the first time. Her mother had asked her why she would want to dress up as an ugly ogre instead of a pretty princess. Delphine, like any six year old afraid of upsetting their parent, couldn’t say anything and just kept quiet.

She was crying in her room that night before dinner and when her papa went to get her, he saw her little red and tear-streaked face. He immediately hugged her and asked her what was wrong. He managed to coax it out of her after a few moments. She told him that she really wanted to be Princess Fiona because Fiona kicked butt unlike the damsel-in-distress that Peach was. Her father just smiled and nodded, “okay, ma cherie,”telling her that he will try to talk to her mother.

Two days before Halloween, her French mother had come home with a little green dress and a braided red-haired wig. Delphine beamed in happiness and excitement and kissed her parents on the cheek.

“Oh, Mama, merci infiniment!”

Her mother had smiled at her and whispered, “je t’en prie,” before giving her a kiss on the top of her head.

Delphine noticed the lack of green body paint though and ogre ears; she wanted to be the ogre Princess Fiona, but she accepts the compromise for human Fiona.

“Okay, princess, ready to go trick-or-treating?”

Her father walks into her room where her mother had helped her into the costume. The little French girl immediately broke out in giggles at the sight of her father wearing pink horns on his head, pink dragon wings on his back and a pink dragon tail behind him, tied around his waist.

“I’ll be the dragon watching over you… get it?”

Her Canadian father, who was always the funny one of her parents, turns around and gives his tail a little wiggle. Delphine giggles louder and claps her hands like a baby seal in excitement. Her French mother shakes her head and laughs at her husband’s antics. Her father turns back around to face them, grinning proudly that his plan to make his daughter and wife laugh was immensely successful.

“But Papa, the dragon is a girl!”

“Well, cherie, do you want me to wear lipstick?”

Another fit of giggles washes over Delphine and the little girl grips her sides. Her father smiles at his precious daughter then at his wife. The French woman just smiles and shakes her head again, before walking to her husband and lovingly kissing him on the cheek.

“Oh, you silly man.”

“You love me.”

The French woman chuckles and gives her husband another kiss on the cheek. Delphine looks at her parents and smiles, happy and relieved that her mother is now in a good mood. Her father turns to her.

“Ready to go trick-or-treating, cherie?”

Delphine nods so vigorously, with all the excitement of a seven year old about to go trick-or-treating, then runs to hug her parents around their legs.

“Oui, Papa!”

“This is Halloween! This is Halloween! Halloween! Halloween!”

Gene Niehaus holds his little excited ogre’s left hand while she held onto her little prop sack (“Because that fits Shrek instead of a Pumpkin!”Cosima had explained to him) with her right. The little girl is practically skipping. She and her father are singing random songs from the child’s favorite animated movies. The little girl told her father that it was only appropriate to sing Nightmare Before Christmas songs first, since it is Halloween.

There were already a lot of kids going from house to house on their block. Cosima asked to start from the farthest street in their neighborhood and go door-to-door backwards, so they finish at their block.

They get to the third street and father-daughter duo run into one of Gene’s colleagues at the university who happens to also live in the area.

“Hey, Gene! Oh, and is that little Cosima? You got bigger!”

The man bends down to look at Cosima eye-level and the child smiles politely at her father’s friend. She does however, find it unacceptable to be called by her name because tonight, she isn’t Cosima, so she puts her small hands on her hips and musters up all the authority she could to try to remedy this.

“Good evening, Sir! Please call me Shrek. I’m Shrek tonight!”

The man laughs and nods, putting his hands up in mock surrender.

“Okay, Shrek. I’m sorry.”

The two adults start talking and catching up. Cosima starts growing impatient and taps her foot. Her father remains to be caught up in whatever adult conversation he was having and couldn’t see that his daughter is simply itching to start her trick-or-treating adventure. The little girl decides enough is enough and so she tugs at her father’s pants.

“Daddy?”

Her father stops in the middle of whatever he was saying and looks down at his daughter.

“Yes, Shrek-sima?”

Cosima giggles at her new nickname. She decides to go along with it.

“Donkey-dad, can I go ahead and start trick-or-treating? I promise to be careful!”

“Hmm…”

Gene looks up and pretends to consider it. Cosima does her best puppy-eyes expression.

“Oh, please! I’m good. I won’t get into trouble.”

Her father laughs and nods his head slowly.

“Okay, Shrek-sima. I’ll go catch up with you.”

Cosima jumps up and her ogre head costume tilts. Her eyes widen in panic that the ogre head might fall or get ruined, so she stands completely still once she touches the ground, holding her head-piece and putting it back right-way up. Her father chuckles.

“Just don’t eat any of the candy before I come and get ya, alright? We can’t have you too hyper tonight.”

Cosima nods her head in understanding before waving at her father and skipping away.

She gets to the next block and decides that she just can’t wait until the last one so she beelines for the closest house instead.

As Cosima runs up the front porch of the house, she looks down at her feet to make sure that she doesn’t trip on any rock or cracked pavement. This proves to be a wrong decision because she collides into another kid. She falls splat on her bum on the ground, bouncing a centimeter off of it from the padding in her costume. That was her father’s idea which serves two purposes: one, to make her look like a believable mini Shrek, and two, for safety measures because he knows how Cosima gets when she’s a little too excited. The other kid, an older boy, wasn’t as fortunate, however. He was a taller kid but with the impact of their collision, he fell splat on his bum, too. A group of kids who looked to be his age started laughing at him. The boy’s face scrunched up in anger, turning red. He whips around to face his friends, yelling at them.

“SHUT IT!”

The group’s laughter dies down but they stay smiling, anticipating what their friend is going to do next.

The older kid stands up to his full height, a full head taller than Cosima, and dusts himself off. She was small for her age and this proved a disadvantage at times like these. He looks at Cosima with a nine year old’s rage in his features and Cosima cowers, stuttering apologies.

“I’m-I’m sorry! I’m s-sorry. I didn’t mean- I’m sorry!”

“You stupid kid! Watch where you’re going!”

He raises his fist and aims to hit the little girl. Cosima gasps and covers her face with her arms.

“HEY!”

Cosima turns her head towards the direction of her savior; the older boy and his friends to the interruption. A little girl in a green dress is running towards them, shouting.

“Hey, you ugly bully! Stop that!”

The little girl comes in between Cosima and the older kid, speaking with a hint of a French accent. She stands taller than Cosima but she didn’t reach up to the boy’s full height, only up until his nose. The bully’s face contorts in anger before slacking and relaxing. He then starts laughing and his friends laugh with him.

“Oh yeah? What are you gonna do about it?”

The little girl snorts before stomping off to the door and pressing the doorbell. All the other kids and Cosima watch her in confusion. The door opens and a woman answers the door. The woman catches sight of the bully with his fist raised at the little child in an ogre costume, who them immediately straightens up as he realizes that he just got caught trying to punch a younger girl.

“Oi, boy! What the hell is going on here?”

The little girl in the green dress speaks up immediately.

“Madame, these boys are picking on my friend!”

The man in the police uniform comes out to his porch and towers over the bully, a menacing look in her eyes. It was his turn to cower back now.

“You know what, kid? I hate bullies. You wanna pick on someone? Pick on someone your own size. Pick on me. Otherwise, piss off, now, will ya?”

The woman spoke with an Irish accent. The bully and his friends skedaddle away in fear. The woman turns to the two girls and her iciness melts away completely, reaching out to help Cosima get up back on her feet. She smiles and both children beam at her in return. She crouches down to their eye-level and addresses them both.

“Well, don’t you two look adorable? Shrek and Fiona!”

It was only when the older woman mentions it that Cosima realizes her savior was definitely Princess Fiona, green dress, red braided hair, little gold tiara and all. Cosima stares at her in awe.

“So, what are your names?”

Cosima snaps back to reality. The other little girl answers first.

“My name is Delphine, madame. Thank you for helping us.”

Little Delphine curtsies and it was the most adorable thing in the world. The Irish woman chuckles then turns to Cosima.

“How about you, chicken?”

“Cosima. Thank you, ma’m.”

The Irish woman smiles warmly at them.

“Well you both can call me Mrs. S. And you’re welcome. I dislike seeing people getting picked on especially when they can’t fight back. Now, let me go get treats for you both.”

The two children nod in excitement and Mrs. S. goes into her house again for a moment to grab the bowl of sweets she had prepared for trick-or-treaters. She comes out and scoops two handfuls each for Delphine and Cosima. She also digs around in the bottom of the bowl and pulls out two giant swirly lollipops that’s the size of a hand. The children’s eyes widen in glee.

“Whoa.”

Cosima mutters under her breath as Mrs. S. puts one lollipop into her sack.

“Happy halloween, kids.”

Cosima instinctively hugs the woman around her leg and Delphine sees this and does the same. Mrs. S. says a quiet, “oh” in surprise but the affection from the kids weren’t at all unwelcome. She pats them both on the head as they let go.

“Thank you again!”

“Merci beaucoup!”

The Irish woman nods.

“You two run along now.”

The two seven year olds smile and wave before turning around and heading back towards the streets filled with other little kids in various costumes.

Cosima and Delphine walk in silence for a few steps before the girl with glasses takes the taller girl’s hand. Delphine feels the smaller hand enclose hers and she pulls it away, to Cosima’s disappointment. But it was only for a split-second and the taller girl slips her hand more comfortably into the smaller girl’s grasp, so that she’s holding Cosima’s hand, too. This makes the bespectacled girl look at her and beam brightly.

“Thank you, Delphine… Erm, Princess Fiona.”

Cosima blushes, feeling shy. The taller girl giggled and squeezed her hand.

“You’re welcome, Shrek.”

The smaller girl looks down and pushes her glasses up her nose, then looks back up at her savior with a thousand-watt lopsided grin.

“Um, would you like to go trick-or-treating with me?”

Delphine mirrors Cosima’s smile, grinning brightly from ear to ear now, too.

“Oui! Of course!”

Cosima giggles and she automatically starts skipping. Delphine laughs and thinks, that looks fun, and joins the other girl in skipping. The girl in the ogre costume automatically starts singing the theme from their favorite movie. The French girl immediately joins her.

And then I saw her face Now I’m a believer Without a trace Of doubt in my mind

I’m in love! I’m a believer I couldn’t leave her If I tried

Both their fathers find the two girls after they finish trick-or-treating at the next house. The two adults laughed at the coincidence that their daughters would be wearing matching costumes, and in turn, they too would match.

The clock ticks 7 o’clock in the morning and Cosima’s phone starts blasting Accidentally In Love as the tone. She sits up in surprise, rubs her eyes groggily and yawns. Her French lover’s arm is draped over her waist. Delphine’s slumber hadn’t been disturbed at all and Cosima presses a kiss on the blonde’s forehead.

The LEDA suddenly remembers the dream she just had and blinks to wake herself up. That was an interesting dream. They had just watched the first Shrek movie last night, shared a bowl of popcorn and snuggled. She shakes Delphine softly to wake her, and whispers.

“Hey, babe… Hey.”

Cosima plants fluttery kisses on the side of Delphine’s face and the blonde stirs. The French doctor hums sleepily, wondering what it is that Cosima is waking her up for. Her unspoken question is answered immediately.

“I just had the cutest dream…”

And Cosima proceeds to tell Delphine about the dream where they were both seven years old and wore a Shrek and Fiona costume; how little Delphine and Mrs. S. had saved her from bullies and how they’d become friends.

Delphine smiles and laughs while listening to the tale of her girlfriend’s dream.

“... and then we started singing “I’m a believer” together while skipping; our dads found us and laughed at our matching costumes and their matching costumes. Then I woke up.”

“That sounds so vivid, mon amour. So cute. Almost as if… It’s another life in another universe.”

Cosima chuckles and takes Delphine’s hand, playing with her fingers.

“Well, that’s a nice thought. Who’s to say it isn’t?”

Author’s Notes: I put my other updates on hold just had to write something for Halloween lol. I remembered that I wrote an AU for Faberry way back where they met as kids on the playground and became childhood friends that eventually turned into lovers. I thought it would be a good idea to do that for Cophine and add Halloween into the story. :) Hope you enjoy this! Feel free to comment or message me- they fuel my writing. :P

If I dress up as Lexa for Halloween this year will people know who I am?

Probably not. Last year I was Cosima everyone just kept asking if I was a doctor. The year before I was max Caulfield and people just thought I didn't dress up.

COPHINE

ULTIMATE SHIP MEME!

@eruptiions & @xmarksthescott : SEND IN TWO ( OR MORE ) NAMES AND I’LL FILL ALL THIS OUT ABOUT THE SHIP!

G E N E R A L :

How long will they last ? Until the end of times.

How quickly did/will they fall in love ? Immediately. I think it was before they met. Delphine had studied Cosima’s file. She really found her intriguing, and more. But when they met, she knew. Enchanté. Obviously Cos felt the same when she saw her in the lab.

How was their first kiss ? Oh merde. Quick ? Delphine didn’t expect Cosima to make a pass on her, but at the same time she knew Cosima was gay before she kissed her. And she was playing flirty, even though it’s her being naturally like that, charming. But yeah, it still surprised her, and she wasn’t sure how to react.

W E D D I N G :

Who proposed ? Delphine.

Who is the best man/men ? Felix. And Delphine’s younger brother, Cedric.

Who is the braid’s maid(s) ? Sarah

Who did the most planning ? Delphine. She is very practical and organized.

Who stressed the most ? Cosima.

How fancy was the ceremony ? Back of a pickup truck | 2 | 3 | 4 | Normal Church Wedding | 6 | 7 | 8 | 9 | Kate and William wish they were this big.

Who was specifically not invited to the wedding ?

S E X :

Who is on top ? Cosima. It’s very different than who tops, because hear me out, Delphine tops but Cosima is on top.

Who is the one to instigate things ? Both clearly. Maybe Cosima a tiny bit more, like she knows how to turn Delphine on.

How healthy is their sex life ? They’re not horn dogs. But maybe twice a week ? With work and everything, they are busy. Barely touch themselves let alone each other | 2 | 3 | 4 | Once a couple weeks, nothing overboard | 6 | 7 | 8 | 9 | They are humping each other on the couch right now

How kinky are they ? We didn’t talk about that, but i feel like they are quite kinky if they decide to. They can be soft, passionate and rough. Depending on moods. Straight missionary with the lights off | 2 | 3 | 4 | Might try some butt stuff and toys | 6 | 7 | 8 | 9 | Don’t go into the sex dungeon without a horse’s head

How long do they normally last ? At least an hour for both.

Do they make sure each person gets an equal amount of orgasms ? Yes but it’s not mandatory. I feel like Cosima would make sure of it because she just loves seeing Delphine’s face coming ?

How rough are they in bed ? Nothing truly borderline, just passion. Softer than a butterfly on the back of a bunny | 2 | 3 | 4 | The bed’s shaking and squeaking every time | 6 | 7 | 8 | 9 | Their dirty talk is so vulgar it’d make Dwayne Johnson blush. Also, the wall’s so weak it could collapse the next time they do it.

How much cuddling/snuggling do they do ? No touching after sex | 2 | 3 | 4 | A little spooning at night, or on the couch, but not in public | 6 | 7 | 8 | 9 | They snuggle and kiss more often than a teen couple on their fifth date to a pillow factory.

C H I L D R E N :

How many children will they have naturally ? ahhhhhh, well i don’t know yet. Probably just one at first. But if it worked, Delphine would love another one ?

How many children will they adopt ? Didn’t they adopt Kira and Charlotte ?

Who gets stuck with the most diapers ? Cosima.

Who is the stricter parent ? Delphine. Cosima is the cool dad.

Who stops the kid(s) from doing dangerous stunts after school ? Delphine more, but both.

Who remembers to pack the lunch(es) ? Delphine.

Who is the more loved parent ? Et merde ! Both !

Who is more likely to attend the PTA meetings ? Cosima, not that she likes it particularly but Delphine probably told her to go because she couldn’t make it.

Who cried the most at graduation ? Cosima. A proud baby.

Who is more likely to bail the child(ren) out of trouble with the law ? Cosima. but both.

C O O K I N G :

Who does the most cooking ? Delphine !

Who is the most picky in their food choice ? Cosima. She’s a baby she probably doesn’t like everything. And given that Delphine doesn’t mind eating frogs or snails. ezioghzegzgzhje

Who does the grocery shopping ? Both. They take turns.

How often do they bake desserts ? Sometimes, for occasions. And by that I mean Delphine, because Cosima just bakes pot brownies.

Are they more of a meat lover or a salad eater ? I think Delphine is a meat lover, considering she’s french. Cosima probably just eats whatever is around.

Who is more likely to surprise the other(s) with an anniversary dinner ? DELPHINE im crying at canon

Who is more likely to suggest going out ? Both ? but they don’t go out a lot, they just order on Uber Eats ok.

Who is more likely to burn the house down accidently while cooking ? Actually, maybe both. If Delphine stopped forgetting about her meals in the stove along with her cakes, but also im not sure Cosima is that great of a cooker either.

C H O R E S :

Who cleans the room ? Delphine but they are both a bit messy.

Who is really against chores ? None ? But Cosima really tries to avoid them.

Who cleans up after the pets ? Cosima. It’s not the same, it’s straight up stinking.

Who is more likely to sweep everything under the rug ? Cosima too.

Who stresses the most when guests are coming over ? Cosima chill. Depending on the guests.

Who found a dollar between the couch cushions while cleaning ? Delphine, because she’s that lucky. And it’s Cosima’s.

M I S C :

Who takes the longer showers/baths ? Cosima. She’s a baby come on.

Who takes the dog out for a walk ? Delphine. On morning while smoking her cigarette and Cosima is still sleeping.

How often do they decorate the room/house for the holidays ? I don’t know, for halloween and christmas I’d say ?

What are their goals for the relationship ? Keep Cosima alive seems actually accurate.

Who is most likely to sleep till noon ? Cosima, but Delphine might after parties and such.

Who plays the most pranks ? Cosima definitely.

Note

what are your favourite fics that youve ever read in any fandom? like your number one FAVE fic from every ship you have :D

OHHH fun stuff. but like… choosing ONE FIC? that is so hard. some of them… call for 2 ;)

fandoms are in no specific order:

Faberry -

I’ll Be by stix04

Can Quinn pretend to be in love with Rachel just to get out of Lima? Can Rachel pretend to love Quinn so she’s not so lonely in New York? And what happens when both girls realize they’re no longer pretending?

or America, She’s Beautiful by K’schoiceofAFI

AU. She walked in with long curly blonde hair, hands clasped behind her back, and a red smile, and all Rachel wanted to know was why large, burly men were following her everywhere. / She walked in to find an ordinary brunette to strike up an argument with, and all Quinn cared about was that Rachel hadn’t the slightest clue who she was.

Sanvers -

The Lighthouse Technique by InspectorBoxer

Kara grinned. “I already have a plan. A foolproof technique, in fact, to get Maggie Sawyer’s full attention.”

or Worth the Fight by zennie

After the kiss, Alex and Maggie struggle to get back to friendship and maybe more.

Also, Maggie is targeted by assassins and Alex is protective.

General danvers -

Between the Lines by anonymississipi

The letters come without warning. It’s a weird, formal vernacular, but it seems sincere. Hank is going to kill her if he ever finds out she’s responded. Kara will kill her, then apologize for killing her, and then treat any of the wounds she’s inflicted in the killing.

Really, the last thing Alex Danvers needs is an alien pen-pal, especially one who’s working for the enemy. But Alex writes, and she reads, and falls deeply into something that she just can’t seem to capture with paper and pen alone.

Cartinelli -

the mothering of us by quickyoke and ratherembarrassing

The Black and White Ball was a masquerade ball held on November 28, 1966 at the Plaza Hotel in New York City. Hosted by author Truman Capote, the ball was in honor of The Washington Post publisher, Katharine Graham. – Director Carter attends.

Sansaery -

we court our own captivity (but that wasn’t finished…) by heart_nouveau

Promises meant nothing; they were little more than pretty words, and Sansa had heard enough of them to last her a lifetime. But the way that Margaery spoke, with that strange fierceness in her voice—for a moment, Sansa could almost believe her.

Margaery and Sansa, together over the length of A Storm Of Swords.

or the Keep the Bouquet series by netgirl_y2k

The Lannisters meant it as an insult when they arranged the marriage of Sansa Stark to Margaery Tyrell.

But is it truly an insult if nobody is insulted?

Hollstein -

Fool’s Gold by whatsthedamage (never finished)

Carmilla HSAU, or the one with GSA co-captains LaFontaine and Perry, puppy quarterback Kirsch, track team captain Danny, broody teenager Carmilla and Laura who is about to find out she is not as heterosexual as she thought.

or Meet Me Halfway To Your Heart by ariadnerue

The media had always assumed they were dating anyway. What big difference was it if they had to pretend to be engaged for a couple months?

a.k.a. The Second-Hand Famous Fake Engagement AU no one asked for.

Root and Shaw -

the domestic hell series by enginerd

The machine has a funny sense of humor when it gives the team a new set of ID’s. Suddenly Root and Shaw are married in the New York suburbs playing house. What happens when the machine puts you in a house that was the block Halloween Party house for years?

OR: Root and Shaw are in suburbia throwing a Halloween party. God help them.

or Kismet and Other Movements by aelysian

She can’t see her without craning her neck, but she can picture the mischievous gleam in brown eyes, the sharp cuspids that add bite to the flirty smile.

“Are we playing, Sameen? You haven’t told me what the rules are.”

Soulmate AU.

Bechloe -

Experimentation by redlance

So, about that one little regret…

or You Still Make Sense To Me (your mess is mine) by wherehopelies

“Chloe fills up all of the spaces inside her that she didn’t even know existed until Chloe was there.”

orrrrr the one where it takes a fake-engagement and being domestic as hell for these two idiots to realize they’re in love. Set two years after PP2 and mostly canon compliant. Title taken from Vance Joy’s “Mess is Mine”

Send Up a Signal (that everything’s fine) by coalitiongirl

Emma Swan is catapulted into stardom, the newest lead actress on a sanitized show featuring modern fairytales. Regina Mills is a long-undermined star with a chip on her shoulder and a thousand reasons why she’s invested. Naturally, they loathe each other on sight.

Their characters’ fanbases, however, have other ideas.

Sapphie Meets her Idol

July 2017, USA

Greetings Sapphic friends! You can call me Em. I’m 29 years old of age, and if you get that reference, you know why I’m here. I fully blame Santana Lopez, Brittany S. Pierce, and the Brittana fandom for unleashing my inner gay. And because sapphic Tumblr is basically the Hotel California, when Glee was done I stayed for the Shoot, the Cophine, and most importantly, the brilliant sapphic ladies who helped me along on my journey. It felt like we were all in this together… like a sisterhood, you might say.

And so, at one sleepless 4 in the morning, I thought… “there needs to be a Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants… but like… gay.” After some reassurance from my sapphic Tumblr tribe that this was, in fact, a great idea, plus some discussion re: what sort of inanimate gay object would make a good travel buddy, Sapphie the First was born!

Sapphie the First and I had a great time together. She helped me play my ukulele for the very first time, got to express her artistic side by painting Halloween pumpkins, and helped me with some other crafting projects. She then went on her merry way to meet my wonderful friend from college, Heather. From there, she went to meet a lovely young lady who was on her way home to India. Sapphie the First went in her suitcase, and I guess that suitcase must have been both very gay and very enthusiastic, because she decided to take Sapphie on her own adventure. We never heard from either of them ever again, so I’m assuming they are off in the Himalayas somewhere, meditating and taking in nature.

We waited a number of months to make absolutely sure Sapphie the First was on a permanent meditation retreat. Once we got confirmation, Sapphie the Second (heretofore referred to as Sapphie) was born!

Sapphie’s first adventure with me was a very gay adventure. That’s right, you guessed it: we went to go see Wonder Woman!

(Clearly General Antiope was impressed with Sapphie!)

Listen, friends. I had been hearing tales of sapphics ascending to new levels of gay when seeing this movie. I could not have anticipated just how true this would be. What is it about fierce, strong, beautiful women in battle that just makes everything turn rainbow??

Overwhelming gayness aside, Wonder Woman is now a favorite of both of ours. It’s funny, it’s sweet, it’s empowering. Diana is inarguably both adorable and awe-inspiring, Etta is a treasure, and the Amazons deserve an entire prequel just about them. After seeing this movie, Sapphie and I felt like we could take on the world! Which is why, two days later, we went to go see it AGAIN

After our second and equally awesome viewing of Wonder Woman, we went on an adventure to the craft store. I got some embroidery floss to make my brother a Ravenclaw bookmark, and Sapphie had lots of fun meeting the baby rainbows!

Sapphie’s next big adventure was big first for me: fireworks! I hadn’t been in years, and was so excited to finally celebrate the 4th of July by watching the bright, beautiful lights. We watched from our camping chairs in a parking lot, and the show was magnificent! Fireworks have definitely upped their game since the last time I saw them. My favorites were the gold ones whose sparkles lingered in the background long after the other colors disappeared. Sapphie loved it when there were as many colors as possible in the sky!

I’d planned to send Sapphie along on her next journey after that, but then, something amazing happened… I found out that Heather Morris was going to be on tour with Dancing with the Stars. In my city. Read: I had the chance to see Heather Morris dancing live and in person. As a former dancer and forever Brittana fan, I brought this to my mom’s attention immediately. As a former (sane) dance mom who appreciated Heather’s dancing as much as I did (we are both still salty about her early elimination from DWTS), she encouraged my immediate purchasing of tickets.

Oh, but it gets better. At this point, the tour was mostly sold out. The only seats we could get together were VIP tickets… tickets that included a photo opportunity with select dancers on the tour. Meaning, not only would I get to see Heather Morris dance live and in person and very close… I might actually get to see her face to face.

Show day came, and Sapphie and I both felt ready to go into orbit. Sapphie continually reminded me that Heather is half the reason she exists, while I had to continually remind both of us to breathe. There wasn’t much to do before the meet and greet, but we had fun talking to other fans, imagining what the show was going to be like, and taking pictures.

Finally, they started calling people up to the line for photos. It was somewhat awkwardly placed in a separate room, so we had no idea who was going to be there until two women we’d been talking to came back from their photo. They named four people. Heather was one of them.

And then I died.

Thankfully, I managed to restart my heart when it was our turn to get in line. I felt like I might go into orbit yet again, so I tried to chill by mentally rehearsing what I would say to everyone once we were let through the doors. I’m glad I did this, otherwise I probably would have gone mute when I met Heather’s strikingly blue eyes from across the room.

Listen, ladies. She. Is. So. Beautiful. She’s lovely on TV, but in person? Wow.

She is also much tinier in person. I was expecting to have to look way up to speak to her, but I didn’t! She said, “Nice to meet you,” and stuck out her hand to greet me. I shook her hand and asked if I could hug her, and she gave me a hug and asked my name. Sapphie was zooming around joyfully in my pocket the whole time. I greeted the other dancers and then stood next to Heather for the photo. Sapphie was in the pocket right next to her, putting on her best smile!

The show itself was a lot of fun. In the second number of the show, Heather did a fun jive with a hip hop break in the middle. It was only about 4 counts of 8, but it was the best 4 counts of 8 in the entire show. She was so confident and powerful and cool, and I swear to Wonder Woman it was impossible to see anything else in the theatre she was shining so brightly. It was incredible. Wow wow wow. My jaw is still on the floor as I write this. Sapphie almost lost her clouds over it. A. Freaking. Mazing.

The next day was Sunday, so Sapphie couldn’t fly away to her next friend just yet. Instead, she helped me work on my crochet blanket. I’m making one hexagon for each day: the color of the hexagon corresponds to the outdoor temperature, and special days have beads on them. Sapphie helped me make hexagons for Wonder Woman, the fireworks, and Dancing With the Stars! It was a lot of work to do all at once… luckily, some friends swooped in to help her:

We had a little pep talk about all the adventures she was going to have, and then Sapphie got tucked into an envelope for her long journey. The next morning she was off to the east coast! I’m so excited to see what her travels bring :) Thank you everyone for being a part of this!

Love and rainbows,
