Precursor To A Love Song (A Frankenwolf Fic)

heeeey!!! I know it's been a while since I wrote a fic, I've been both busy and having a severe case of writer's block, but I've finally got something new!!! It's a Hyperion Heights AU one shot (which I could use as a springboard for a proper chapter fic if I ever feel up to it) and I think it's pretty cute. Props to @stardreamer28 for putting up with me talking about it for a couple weeks and procrastinating on the end lol. Read on and enjoy!

Liza Whale was finally taking a night off.

It was well-deserved, she knew that, but she had been slow in taking it. Her little boutique on the corner in the heart of Hyperion Heights kept her busy, and she didn’t have anyone to help with it. Business had gotten a little lighter after the Christmas rush, though, so Liza had decided to just close early that Thursday and go out for a couple of hours.

She ended up in a bar a couple of blocks away. It was classy place—no blaring neon or loud jukeboxes, no peanut shells on the floor, no casual clothes. It wasn’t the kind of place she thought she might come back to often (a little neon and a jukebox never hurt anybody, after all) but it was nice for an evening of self-pampering.

Liza sat down at a table for one, laying her black wool jacket across the back of her chair and smoothing out a small crease in the skirt of her deep red dress. It was one of her own designs; the things she sold in her boutique were produced by proper brands, but she created most of her own wardrobe in her spare time. Her favorite thing in the closet she didn’t even remember making, even though it matched a lot of her other clothes: a long red cloak with a warm hood and floral embroidery. She had ripped it last time she wore it, and was planning on fixing it when she got home later that night.

As she waited for someone to come by and take her order, she glanced around the bar. Her eyes fixed on a man halfway across the room, seated at an elegant piano. He was blond, with striking blue eyes that sparkled in the light of the wrought-iron chandelier. When he caught Liza’s gaze, the corner of his mouth lifted in a half-smile.

Liza couldn’t help blushing. He was cute, and if she was reading her signals right, he thought she was cute, too. It had been a while since she had had any romance in her life—actually, she couldn’t remember the last time, it had been that long—and she liked the idea of drawing the eye of a handsome piano player.

After about half an hour of them sneaking looks at each other while he played and she sipped at a drink, the piano player got up for a break. Liza’s heart sunk when he walked right past her table, then skipped a couple of beats when she realized he was just getting a second chair from nearby.

“Julian Wolf,” he said, setting his chair down and holding out his hand for Liza to shake. He had smudges of what looked like paint on the side of his thumb. “I play piano here a couple nights a week.”

“You’re brilliant,” Liza said, grinning. She liked that it took him a couple of seconds to release her hand. “What do you do the rest of the week?”

“Freelance artist.”

It was paint! Liza smiled a bit wider. “That’s cool,” she said. “I do some drawing, too. Nothing big, just for the clothes I make.”

Julian smiled too. “Well, now I know we’re both artists, but I don’t think you’ve told me your name yet.”

“Elizabeth Whale. If you call me Lizzy I’ll kick your shins—I like Liza, though.”

“Well, Liza, I have to go finish my set, but I’ll be off in about an hour. Do you want to go for a walk with me then?”

She nodded. “I’d love to.”

Julian returned to his piano, where he started playing again, soft and sweet. The music sounded…familiar, Liza thought, but she couldn’t bring to mind a specific instance of hearing it before. Maybe I heard it in a past life, she thought, chuckling to herself. The music made her giddy, like any moment something wonderful might happen.

Well, maybe it was the music. Or maybe it was the charming young man playing it. Either way, Liza was really looking forward to that walk.

Did my sister just seemingly hint at a possible want for a white gown in the future?

..... well, it doesn’t have to be white.

@askdrizella​ replied to your post: ‘you want to get married.’

Absolutely. I even have my ‘best man’ picked out.

Are you a fan of the cold weather? Snow?

I'm a fan of my cold weather wardrobe! The actual cold... not so much. Snow is beautiful from inside a warm place. However, I guess it can be rather romantic in certain situations.

[askisabella]

Do you believe in reincarnation?

I don't know. The idea of being reborn into something else is a little weird, if I'm honest.

[askthesnowqueen]

what’s your favourite Christmas song?

There’s so many good ones. Can I put honourable mentions for runners up? Christmas Tree Farm - Taylor Swift and Underneath the Tree- Kelly Clarkson. But My Only Wish by Britney Spears takes the top spot.

Are you a fan of the cold weather? Snow?

I much prefer the warmer weather, but I don't hate it when it's snowing. Only when I don't have to travel too far and can stay inside near the fire, or use Anna as my personal heater.

What’s your favorite Christmas activity to do around town?

My favorite Christmas activity takes place in my kitchen every year. Cookie baking and gingerbread house making! The holiday seasons isn't complete without a little friendly competition.

❄️ Thea Nightingale || AU: Hyperion Heights

Twenty one years old

Studying Herbal Sciences at Bastyr University.

Assistant at Grey House and Bell, Book and Candle.

Daughter to Cassie Nightingale, niece to Roni Ortiz, cousin to Wren Izzie Ortiz. Friend to all.

December 7, 2022 - January 7, 2023 {tag: au: hyperion heights}

Prior to being cursed, Thea Nightingale had everything she could have wanted. A mother who loved her more than anything, a wonderful extended family she cherished. Dreams, hope and faith all ran rampant, and Thea was more than happy to follow the rest of her family into the New Enchanted Forest. At least, until everything went sideways.

The curse brought about new memories, and thankfully Thea wasn’t aware of just how different their family structure was now. All she knows is the life she lives - a cousin who’s basically like a sister, college classes that are melting her brain (in the best way) and an unfaltering relationship with her mother. This time of year, she’s normally found ice-skating, studying or cozied up with some cheesy holiday movies.

have finally picked what I want Victor's Hyperion Heights personality to be! anyone wanna guess? I have 2 headcanons: fits the show or be obvious for fans giggles lol. but this one fits the show so who wants to guess? (Ruby's is straight forward what I wanted for her so I didn't change drastically much)

[ask-regina]

What is it like living over a bar?

Loud and cramped. You get used to it, but I’ve recently given up on the lack of living space lifestyle in favor of moving in with Rowan. It’s definitely more quiet now, as well, so I just make sure to fill the silent with other kinds of noises.

[ask-evangeline]

Do you want to marry someday?

Up until the last year or so, I never really thought of it. Like if it happened it happened kind of thing. But since finding the person I know that I am going to be spending the rest of my life with, I don't think it matters if we have the piece of paper or not. Even though a party with all of our friends would be a great night.

[askdrizella]

Who do you consider to be your closest friends?

I would be lying if I didn't say it depends on the day. There are some days friends just irk my nerves and others I can't get enough of them. Obviously Evie is top of the list followed by Booker, Ruby, Snow and Anna.  

[askisabella]

What are you excited about most in your life right now?

Can I say Christmas? Because I love Christmas! The season just brings a feeling of happiness. The music, lights and lets be honest everyone loves gifts even if they say they don't. Christmas sweaters and holiday flavored drinks are also pretty great. Basically, just let me drown in the Christmas season without judgement.
