#i have been rotating this idea in my brain for sooooooo long guys. dellivvy is so special to me ok

[synonymroll648]

i don’t know how to word this eloquently but. my brain. has been screaming. about a fic idea. (in more detail than i’m about to share so if you want details shoot me an ask.) 

anyway. au where fitz reaches a breaking point with vacker expectations and emancipates himself. and the first person he turns to for help on what the hell to do with his life now is livvy. because if he were to list people that are parental figures to him, right behind alden and della is livvy. and livvy took in amy for a while, so her taking him in for a while so he can get on his feet isn’t unreasonable. livvy ends up being way more concerned about fitz’s wellbeing than fitz expected and they have a really soft found family arc. fitz casually mentions that being livvy’s adopted son would be “the dream”, but he knows that’s unrealistic. livvy goes ‘um excuse me since i was thinking the same thing i don’t care that it’s unrealistic we’re gonna make it happen’. so she adopts fitz legally. 

but. della wants to visit fitz. and he’s not super opposed to the idea, since she’s always been more open to change than alden. but she doesn’t have legal custody nor legal claim to him anymore. so she has to talk with livvy about visitation rights/privileges as if they’re a divorced couple even though they’ve never dated. (emotionally they dated, but della’s not willing to admit that to herself yet.) cue scheduling meetups where della and livvy spend time together with fitz (and biana, at least half the time) that turn into a true found family + acquaintances-with-complicated-history to lovers arc.
