enid gets adopted by lurch when she was a kid

you'll occasionally see this stoic mountain of a man with his hair decorated in different bows and braids

sometimes they have tea parties in the library with enid's stuffed animals (some being taxidermy ones gifted to her by lurch, those are her favorite)

when enid's being particularly energetic you can almost see some concern shining in the man's eyes. because she's definitely a little daredevil and does some stupid shit and he can't help but worry because while the addams children can walk off a lot, his little girl most likely can't

But through in through, she's his tiny, colorful shadow and tries to emulate a lot of what he does. Whether it be (underage) driving, cooking, cleaning, she copies all of it. Heck, she even wears a mini copy of his suit after begging morticia for one.

anyway, maybe she was good friends with wednesday when they were younger, but wednesday froze her out after irrationally blaming her for nero's unfortunate demise. idk, enid probably got distracted chasing a butterfly and wandered off right before the bullies came.

obviously, enid is super heartbroken and retreats into herself around wednesday. she tries to be, well, less of herself around the goth and is quick to come to her defense. sometimes recklessly and needlessly.

wednesday knows she being irrational but didn't enid always promise to protect her? where was she when the addams needed her the most?

when they both get expelled (enid for having some of her previously unknown wolf attributes coming through and maiming a kid with her claws and wednesday with her nut-eating piranhas) and sent to nevermore it's basically the same as the first episode. though wednesday is more bitter about having to share the same space as the wolf as she thought she'd finally be free of her.

enid knows this and joins all these extracurriculars to stay out of the room as much as possible. this is where she meets yoko and they start hanging out more, with yoko becoming her best friend in a short amount of time.

and it's not like wednesday cares. she just always preferred werewolves to vampires. and oh, enid has a crush on a gorgon? that's fine. hope she has fun talking to a boy with more snakes than brain and a personality as dull as stone. it's like a constant battle, trying to wrestle her jealousy and possessiveness.

on parent's weekend, enid is so excited for yoko to meet her dad. imagine the vampire's surprise when this incredibly tall guy walks up to them undetected and starts to pat enid's head. yoko is seconds away from attacking before enid squeals and jumps the willowy man with a hug.

it's even more surprising when she realizes he only responds with grunts and groans, but enid can understand and translate perfectly fine.

yoko: so uh, how's it going big guy?

lurch: *groans*

yoko: ...right, that's uh, good?

enid definitely has fun mistranslating and confusing the vampire.

i think it'd also be cute if lurch reassured enid that not all monsters are bad. cuz in this, no one realized enid was a werewolf, so when she starts slowly gaining more wolf characteristics, she starts having an identity crisis

and look, lurch definitely has some personal experience with being hated for simply existing (as all outcasts do, but we're not talking about them) so he's all for telling enid that the wolf thing are just as much a part of her as anything else

Omg guys idk if this have been thought of yet, but hear me out.

A Wednesday au. But it’s 90’s The Addams family.

So, character and who’d they be.

Wednesday will be: gomez

Enid: Morticia.

Pugsley: uncle fester.

Thing would be: their butler guy that never speaks. You know the Frankensteins monster looking tall guy?

Lurch; omg lurch would make a great disembodied but alive somehow limb.

(I can’t see these two as any other people from the movies. So crazy.🥴)

Of course their children (adopted) would play those kids from the movie that are like, super angsty pre-mid-teens.

Oop, Marilyn Thornhil would be that weird lady counsellor.

My brain….

Enid rolled over, stretching out across the bed, her back displaying the lines from Wednesdays nails the night before proudly as the sunlight spread through the curtains and lit up a body littered with scars from fights growing up. The fresh ones Enid wished she could show like a badge of honour.

“Mon Cher… last night… you were …monstrous, unhinged, a wild animal…” Enid purred gently, her eyes flickering over Wednesdays body appreciatively.

“Enid, you know what French does to me,” Wednesday growled lightly.

“Wednesday, you were diaboliquement-“ Enid moaned as Wednesday fell back onto the bed, kissing her, her hand splaying over Enid’s back, stroking her fingers over the soft skin.

Enid shifted, rolling over, her lips pressed lovingly against her wife’s.

Wednesdays hand followed the movement, her hand curving across Enid’s body to rest in her hip before trailing upwards. Her thumb brushing the underside of Enid’s breast.

And then …. Yeah, cutscene, Debbie enters … blah blah summer camp, blah blah, Wednesday the Addams family 90’s au! works out.

So um, would there be a fic in the future for Lurch Adopts Enid AU?

I think I have one somewhere in my drafts

A lot of the time, my headcannons aren't consistent with one another

[i-choose-you-cyndaquil]

Erm hi, do you have anymore on Lurch adopts Enid AU? Cause I have a few questions

Would Enid be a Sinclair or an Addams or they just use Icelandic naming system amd make her last name is Lurchdóttir (daughter of Lurch)?

Would Enid learn about her parents in Nevermore cause maybe they are also Nevermore Alumni? (like in the yearbook or something)

Do the Sinclairs have extended family and is actively looking for Enid? Since you know hunting down werewolf gets them into the national news

Also in that extent, how did Lurch adopt Enid? Was Enid so clingy and traumatized that she latched onto Lurch and calls him dad?

It's just Enid with the Addams being implied, the way many incarnations of Lurch don't give him a last name but make it clear he's part of the family

No, they're not from the US, so if she were to learn anything about her family, it would probably be through another scuffle with the Hunters later on. Some killers like to keep trophies, so a withered family photo and some of her family's personal belongings would be found.

Any extended family would be overseas, so they don't even really know what's going on. As far as they know, Esther and her small family went to the US for a better life and they just lost contact. Shitty? Yes. Plausible? Also yes.

So many people go missing and don't get reported simply because they "stopped responding"

Also, for how Lurch adopted Enid? Yeah, basically. It wasn't so cut and dry, though, Lurch sort of had to get her to trust him like one does a wounded animal, slowly and with a lot of patience. As for calling him Dad? It slipped out one night when he was placing her in her bed. Enid didn't notice, but Lurch sure did. He didn't bring it up, but he found the title resonating with him.

Lurch Adopts Enid AU

How did Lurch find Enid? Was Enid traumatized by the hunters killing her family or she couldn't remember?

he was actually on a hunting trip to collect some exotic supernatural meat!

i'll probably expand more on it, but basically he was just at the right place at the right time with a little help

she was definitely traumatized by it, but she was so young her mind sort of blocked the actual events out of her memory.

though going into the woods frightens her to the very core and, for a long time after the adoption, she would cling to lurch in fear that it would be the last time she'd see him.

this, in turn, contributes into her not realizing she's a werewolf either.

instead of a late-bloomer, she has been subconsciously suppressing her wolf until it just became too much. like, even though she can't really remember or understand, her mind makes the connection that wolf equals danger for her

Lurch Adopts Enid AU

Did anyone found out what happened to Enid's family and tried to get justice for them or did it just ended up like those cold cases because the police being the police did not want to investigate the werewolf killings because they are outcast?

Unfortunately no, the weekend getaway the Sinclair's went on was a way to de-stress from the move they made from Southern Greece.

Who's going to look for them when they have no family or close friends in the US? Who's going to inform the authorities of what happened?

If anything is found, it'll just look like a campsite left abandoned under suspicious circumstances.

How is Enid adopted in Lurch Adopts Enid AU?

Did her parents get killed by hunters or something?

y'know what? you got a good idea right there!

since this is set before enid even realizes she's a wolf she's gotta be pretty young when everything happened

maybe it was a camping trip, some family bonding that was supposed to be a chance to relax and have fun

obviously, enid is the baby of the family so everyone is trying to keep their claws to themselves so she doesn't accidentally get hurt. she's, of course, seen them in their lupine forms before, but she's a toddler so all she sees when she looks at them are just some nice, furry animals

when the hunters first come, she's being looked after by esther while her dad and brothers are gathering wood for their campfire. she's getting tossed in the air and laughing as esther happily tells her stories about the werewolves in their family

and at first, the older wolf doesn't notice anything wrong

she's spending time with her family; they're capable wolves and a decently sized pack, to go against one would mean going against the others. this is a fun, weekend getaway

but she realizes something

her husband and sons have been gone for far longer than she anticipated

she brushes it off at first

these are new woods and unfamiliar territory to the family, they're bound to get a little lost even with their tracking skills

but she just can't get rid of this niggling in the back of her head

esther tries to keep her cool so she doesn't spook her daughter, but one hour turns to two, then three

where are they?

she's frantically pacing back and forth now, she wants to go look for them but she can't leave enid by herself

the young girl is sleeping, unaware of the turmoil her mother is going through

on the verge of tearing her hair out, esther then hears stumbling footsteps coming her way from an outcropping of bushes

and emerging from them, is her second youngest and he's hurt badly

before she can get any words out or do anything to help him, she hears laughter and sees the horrifying image of her son dropping to the ground with fresh arrow protruding from his back

even from the distance she can tell he is no longer breathing

it's shock that keeps her from screaming, but it is fear that gets her moving again

esther gathers a groggy enid in her arms, shielding her from the view of whatever or whoever attacked her family

tired and not understanding what is going, enid looks over her mother's shoulder and sees-

"well, look what we have here? more mutts," a voice calls out mockingly

esther stiffens, refusing to answer as she tightens her grip protectively on her daughter

"what? can't you talk?" the voice continues, getting closer. "though i shouldn't be surprised, should i? animals aren't meant to speak."

chancing a glance backwards, esther's stomach drops as she notes the insignia on the man's jacket.

hunters

with a malicious smile curving the shaved jaw, the man steps forward uncaring of the young boy he has to cross over in order to continue. "let's play a game."

Erm, hi, do you have anymore stuff on Enid being adopted by Lurch? I'm not sure if it's a prompt or is it an AU you wanna work on

hi!

it was actually a sleep-deprived thought i had. mostly a one-off, but i can definitely work on it more

[i-choose-you-cyndaquil]

Question, do you have your own AUs? Do you have a list of your AUs?

Not...really?

I'll throw out a headcannon or two occasionally, but for the most part I'm pretty sporadic with what I put out

The only real au I have is Lurch Adopts Enid

[i-choose-you-cyndaquil]

I've been seeking (Threatened) to expand my horizons by those I dislike (My gf whom I love), from one fandom thingy to another. They didn't specify if it had to be of a different fandom.

In short, I need to expand my horizons or else...

Anyways, how are you?

Crackfic

It comes from a place of love ❣️
