Duncney week day 3

A moment that lives rent free in Duncney’s minds (bonus points if this prompt ends up being super angsty).

I had different ideas, but rewatching Niagara Brawls and also Desperate Housewives made me think of Courtney seeing herself in this whole wedding outfit and it just kinda hitting her that she'll never marry Duncan and then Duncan seeing her in this wedding dress and starting to realize he's missing out and starting to feel guilty.

Originally I was going to do something related to the moment they broke up so I have these

Other ideas I had:

Courtney vaguely remembering throwing food on Duncan and crying on the floor

Courtney realizing that she relied on Heather of all people for comfort

[ladymarlin]

Duncney week day 1

A situation where Duncney face some sort of dilemma bit it turns out okay

This as a sequel to this. The dilemma in question being Courtney going through it and Duncan helping her out of it :3

[ladymarlin]

Duncney week day 4

Duncney in another universe.

Personality swap AU...

I could think of so many AUs for these two. I've been watching desperate housewives again so unhappy wife Courtney having an affair with her ex Duncan has been on my mind.... Anyways!

She's giving him a punk makeover

[ladymarlin]

Duncney week day 2

A situation where Duncney do something spontaneous that ends with their adrenaline rushing.

Just a spur of the moment spar 😋🥰

[ladymarlin]

Duncney week day 7

A situation where Duncney just can’t seem to stay away from each other.

So like them making out obv but also in their own home bc I've been rlly thinking about them in nice happy domestic relationship lately

And then also one where he can't keep his hands off her bc baby bump he's feeling the baby :3

[ladymarlin]

Duncney week day 5

A situation where Duncney’s actions speak louder than words.

She's out here WINNNINGGG

And he showed up ofc.. And sat admiring the whole time

I had other ideas for this but I never finished them I was struggling.. In one they're out and Duncan's pulling Courtney close and covering her eyes bc he saw some green jelly and didn't want her to freak. In the other he's brushing her teeth.

Also didn't make a sketch for it bc I couldn't figure out how but I headcanon Courtney as having a very specific nighttime routine that she like, can't sleep without (projecting oop) and I Duncan would definitely help her w that whether it's leaving little things out or lights on for her. Little things like that.

Duncney Week 2024

Day 3: Now Won’t You Promise Me, That You’ll

Never Forget

“But I’m in the fishcabin with you, aren’t I?” Create a moment that lives rent free in Duncney’s minds (bonus points if this prompt ends up being super angsty).

*Read under break*

The pitter-patter of rain echoed throughout the room. It was dim as one lamp illuminated light through the space. A large bed with ruffled sheets creaked as a figure rolled over to their back, now facing the ceiling.

A deep sigh escaped the man’s lips as he balled something in his hand. Quickly, as if regretting this action, the man unscrambled the paper. He tried to smooth out the edges as he stared at what it really was. A single picture.

It wasn’t just any old photo he had found buried beneath his bed. No, it was a special one. One that he had taken so many years ago in a place he desperately tried to forget. A picture he remembered the backstory of all too well.

“Coast is clear, Princess.”

“We’re going to get in so much trouble.”

Duncan and Courtney had now successfully found their way into Chris’s private room at the Playa Resort. It honestly ended up being easier than both expected as the camera crew straight up refused to film at that location for little to no pay.

“Relax, babe. Besides, I thought you liked living on the edge.”

“And look where it got me.” She snapped back a little too aggressively than intended.

The green haired teen turned to face her now, knowing how cheated she had felt. He took her hand and squeezed it. Her face relaxed as her brown eyes met his.

“Here, with me. I think that’s a pretty great outcome.”

“You know what I meant.” She said in a defeated tone.

He hated seeing her so upset. She was always so determined, so headstrong— Duncan needed to see that side of her again. Without a second thought he let his hands find her waist, and before she had a chance to react his fingers began to tickle her sides.

Laughter that was music to his ears filled the area they stood in. It was exactly what Duncan wanted. The way her lips curved into a smile and her playful taps to get him to stop made even Duncan start to laugh. He needed to capture this moment.

Before losing his chance, Duncan pulled his phone out and took a quick picture. The sound of the camera and flash made Courtney’s eyes shoot open.

“Duncan!” She hissed, trying her hardest to grab the phone. He held it out of her reach, knowing she’d delete it if given the chance. He made a mental note to print it out later for safe keeping.

“Come on, Princess.” He pulled her into him, giving her a gentle kiss he knew was not enough for that moment, but they would have time for that later.

“Let’s go tear some shit up.”

He bit the inside of his cheek, suppressing the ache longing to come out. He should reach out to her— if anything to apologize for how everything went down. And if by some miracle she heard him out then maybe, just maybe, he’d have another chance with her.

With a sigh, Duncan forced himself out of bed. He needed to clear his mind. He looked at the time and realized he had just enough time to make the opening night showing for a new slasher film just downtown. He just hoped whatever sucker he ended up sitting next to wasn’t a complete nuisance.

—

Courtney focused on the line in front of her, taking a few steps every couple minutes. A flash coming from the side of her made her head turn instantly.

“Cate!” She groaned in annoyance.

She had agreed to come out just for her, and how did she repay her? By taking a possibly lousy picture of her.

“Oh, come on, Court!” Cate began, “When do you ever just live a little?”

“Plenty of times, thank you very much. Now delete it.”

“It’s not even that bad, look!”

Courtney rolled her eyes as she took the phone from her sister's hand.

She thought back to the one time she hadn’t really minded such a candid photo. A lump formed in her throat as she recalled many sneak away nights she shared with a certain blue eyed boy. How her feelings got the best of her all those years ago, and how easily her heart shattered from not listening to her brain.

She wondered what his life was like so many times, but something tugged at her heart right at that moment. And without realizing she promised herself she’d speak with him if the moment were to ever arise.

Now remembering she was staring at the photo for far too long, Courtney nodded quickly with a small smile.

“Could be worse.”

“Come on, we really don’t want to miss this movie!”

Courtney followed her sister into the busy building, already dreading having to watch the new slasher film. She took a deep breath and reminded herself she was there for her sister. Plus there was no way she was waiting in this rain.

After all, how bad could it really be?

Duncney Week 2024

Day 1: No One Compares, You Stand Alone

“I love that woman.” Create a situation where Duncney face some dilemma but it turns out okay.

*Read under break*

—

Duncan and Courtney were an interesting duo to say the least. They never quite saw eye to eye, yet they supported one another to no end. They had their good days as well as their bad days. And despite their bad days, they always found a way back to one another. For some reason Courtney needed to be with him, and Duncan would say the feeling was mutual.

It just so happened that one day, Duncan decided to surprise Courtney in a way she never saw coming.

Courtney laid next to him gripping the sheets around herself as if he hadn’t already traced every part of her body.

“What do you mean?” She said as she scrambled her belongings.

“Pretty simple, Princess.” Duncan said as he made himself decent enough to climb out of bed without exposing himself.

“We have to stop fooling around and avoiding what’s really happening here.”

“And what is happening here, Duncan?”

“Come on, babe, aren’t you the smart one?” She didn’t make an effort to answer him so Duncan continued, “We’ve been messing around for years now. We're exclusive to one another regardless of whatever show we put on to the outside world. And to top it off, we actually enjoy each other's company.” He shrugged, “Tell me what that is.”

“It’s what it’s always been. Just two people—”

“Enjoying each other's company in order to—” Duncan interjected, ready to finish her sentence which only resulted in both of them speaking in unison, “Blow off steam.”

The silence in the room as they stared at each other was too much.

“We’re in a fucking relationship, Courtney.”

The shock on Courtney’s face couldn’t be concealed.

“And I speak very confidently when I say this.” He continued, “We’re in a serious fucking relationship.”

“You’re being ridiculous.” She laughed.

There was no way. This wasn’t what they agreed to years ago. And if she let her mind wander she would say that was a true statement three years ago but not today. Courtney shoved that thought away as Duncan cleared his throat.

“Maybe,” He frowned as he ran a hand over his face, “But figure it out because I’m kind of sick of not having all of you and I know you feel it too.”

Courtney left without a word. Duncan was being insane. A relationship? He truly thought they were in a relationship, a committed one at that. She wanted to laugh but couldn’t find it in herself as she went over the facts. Yes, they had agreed to fool around years ago and that clearly had been an ongoing thing. Yes, she was aware they were exclusive but it wasn’t like she was actively searching for anything outside of what they had. If she wanted a relationship she could get one. But that thought of not seeing Duncan anymore, of not waking up next to him or laughing with him, heck even watching his horrible movies with him, made her feel awful. And the thought of Duncan doing any of those things with someone else made her want to throw up. Shit. He was right and she needed to get herself together before it was too late.

It took Courtney a full 48 hours to muster up the courage to face him again. She wasn’t sure what she thought would happen. They had started out their agreement and stuck to said plan well over three years now. It was only a matter of time before one of them caught deeper feelings, she just wasn’t expecting the feelings to be unexpected, mutual, and terrifying.

She knocked on his apartment door and had just decided to turn around and ignore those feelings when she heard a lock turning.

“Why are you here?”

His question didn’t sting as he probably intended. If anything it sounded more like he was relieved she was there because if she was there it was to confirm what he was well aware of.

“Because,” she paused, the words refusing to leave her mouth as she looked at him.

His eyes softened as realization hit him. They reached for one another and closed the gap between themselves. Their lips molded into each other as they shared that moment together.

This kiss was different from the rest. There was a deeper meaning behind it. One that did not go unnoticed by both of them as they held onto each other before finally breaking apart.

A strand of brown hair was tucked behind her ear as he spoke, “Because you love me.”

Not a question, a statement.

Courtney nodded as her voice still didn’t have the courage to speak.

“Good,” Duncan said with a smirk as he pulled her into his apartment, “Because I love you too.”

Duncney Week 2024

Day 5: Silence and Sound

“Awe, and here I thought you didn’t care about me.” Create a situation where Duncney’s actions speak louder than words.

*Read under break*

“Oh, fuck me.” Duncan groaned as he inspected the damage on his dads already crappy car.

The day had been perfect thus far. He had successfully managed to get Courtney to come over, stating he needed help catching up on his Spanish Literature class. Then to his surprise she’d actually agreed to get in the same vehicle as him. So far so good, right? Wrong.

All this situation did was fuel Duncan’s massive ego. He now had every chance to impress the one girl who never gave him a second thought, or so she made it seem.

“Duncan, please drive right. We’re only 16 and I’d like to make it to graduation.”

“Relax, I do this all the time.”

Fucking dumbass, he thought now. Did he really need to let go of the wheel and show her how he could drive with just his knees? At that moment, yes.

That little stunt lasted for about 15 seconds before he hit a pothole and scraped the driver's side of the car against the median. He played it off thinking it couldn’t be that bad, but now he was looking at the damages.

“I am so kicked out.” He blew under his breath.

“Duncan—”

“Don’t. I’m already gonna have my ass on the line by the old man, I don’t need that smart mouth of yours right now either.”

Duncan didn’t bother looking as Courtney made her way out the garage door. He didn’t blame her. If anyone else were dealing with his stupid prick of a dad then he would have left too.

Had Courtney shut the door? He’d hate to have to get up from his sulking position to do so. Just as he was about to push himself up he heard the shuffling of feet approaching him. He paused; her shadow standing perfectly across the wall but Duncan couldn’t make out what her shadow was holding.

Slowly, Duncan turned his head to actually see her. Courtney’s face was cool, calm, and collected as she handed him a metal rod. It looked oddly similar to the ones by the living room's fire pit. He took it out of instinct and before he had a chance to ask her what the actual hell she was doing, Courtney swung her own metal rod and made a dent in his dad’s old car.

The ringing sound seemed to be the only thing he could focus on as shock hit him. Courtney, sweet old miss goody-two-shoes, was vandalizing property.

He had never been so in love.

His ears seemed to click back to reality as he watched her swing over and over again. The doors received multiple blows as she let her own anger out before carefully placing the rod on the ground. She dusted her hands off and took a seat next to him by the uneven steps.

“There. Now we can say someone hit you and sped off on the highway.”

“Who are you and what have you done with Princess?” Duncan said in awe. He didn’t care that he cracked a genuine smile in her direction.

“Princess needed a little break.” She shrugged, “And nobody should have to be worried about getting kicked out…” she whispered before looking away as a patch of pink rose to her cheeks.

Duncan loved getting that reaction out of her.

“You’re such a badass, you know?” He teased.

“Shut up.”

Courtney shoved his shoulder lightly and laughed. it was rare to see her so comfortable, he’d work hard to make sure there were moments like this if she ever gave him a solid chance.

“Ah, she’s back.”

She hummed as they fell into silence. They just stared at the hideous car together.

“Thanks, Courtney.”

Her head tilted as she looked at him. He’d used her real name and something about it made her smile.

“Anytime.”
