Tagging @4necdote bc I told you I'd post this

It had been another wonderful night, Maisie once again did another performance at a local bar, showcasing her new song, and if the applause was anything to go by, she did a good job, and the song was well received. 

Still, there was something odd. Maisie could hear steps behind her as she kept walking back home, she was getting more and more worried as time went on and as the streets became less crowded. Maybe she should’ve accepted when her manager offered to walk with her… 

She needed to do something before whoever it was got to her.

“Excuse m—”

It was then she turned around and kicked the person without any hesitation, making the body of the man who was following her fall on the ground. 

“Wait…” Maisie stared at his groaning figure struggling to get up, until she recognized the locks of ginger hair, fox ears and tail, and she became even angrier, kicking him again, but this time, right there. 

“I can see you're still as feisty as ever–” Fellow groaned, holding in between his legs, incapable of getting up because of the pain he was feeling. 

“I thought you were a creep, and now, after I looked at you I confirmed that you are, in fact, a creep.” She said, while Fellow simply looked at her displeased — and in pain. Maisie turned around without a care, wanting to end this exchange right then and there, but Fellow forced himself to get up and walk up to her, grabbing her wrist so she’d stay. 

“Listen, I just want to talk, ok?”

“Talk about what? There's nothing to talk about.” Maisie laughed sarcastically, getting closer to the man as she glared daggers at him. “You left me, not only that you disappeared. No note, no warning, no nothing. And as if that wasn't enough, I had to find out you've been getting yourself into that disgusting, shady business—”

“I thought you liked my shady side?”

“That's criminal. I should've filed a report to the police.” Maisie turned around, freeing her wrist from his grasp, wanting to go home. Fellow however, didn't give up, and stood in front of her, preventing her from leaving. “I advise you to get lost before I kick you in the balls again.”

“Please.” Fellow tried one more time, suddenly serious, his playful facade gone. “Listen to me for a minute, just one minute.”

Maisie looked to the side and loudly groaned. She appeared to be thinking for a moment, until she looked at him again, still angry, but trying to calm down. 

“What do you want, Fellow Honest?”

Fellow smiled. “I want another chance.”

Maisie laughed, very loudly in fact, she couldn't believe the audacity he had to come to her after all this time and ask for another chance. What does he think she is? Some lovesick lady just waiting for her prince charming to come back?

“Listen, I'm not a fool, Fellow.” She began, walking closer to the man, her eyebrows furrowed as her anger became harder to contain. “I may be a romantic, yes, I dream of love and family and a knight in shining armor but I am not a fool. I can recognize a scoundrel, and after what you did to me you've made it clear that you're one.” 

Fellow sighed, frowning at the woman. He was doing his best to be sincere, to open his heart to her, and yet…

Maybe if he explained himself?

“I didn't have a choice, Maisie, I had to make money to sur–”

“That's bullcrap and you know it! You and Gidel weren't doing the best but I was always by your side, I was willing to do what it takes to help you, yet you were always too prideful to ask for help!” 

“Prid– you yourself were having trouble with your family, how the heck would you of all people help?” Fellow finally had lost his cool. He was doing his best to stay calm, collected and polite, especially because he knew he screwed things up, he didn't have any right to get angry… but still, she wasn't even listening to him! “Maisie, I love you, but I was desperate. I had to think about what the best course of action was, I needed a well paying job for–”

“Have you considered that maybe I would’ve wanted to struggle with you?” Fellow’s ears twitched at that.

“Maisie. There was nothing you–”

“I just wanted you to be with me.”

It was quiet after that. Fellow was left unable to reply as his eyes widened, and Maisie's eyes began to sting, a tear falling without warning, and she hurriedly went to dry her face. She breathed in and out, then, she continued.

“I could’ve tried job hunting with you, we could’ve looked for opportunities together, I don't know, just– anything, I would’ve done anything if it meant you’d be by my side. I just wanted you.” she cleared her throat and regained her composure, her angry facade coming back. “But I can see you never even thought of that. To be honest, you probably never even loved me.”

“Wh– No, of course I did.” Fellow tried to reach out to her, to touch her in any way, to get her in his arms and comfort her like he did years ago, but this time, Maisie walked out of his reach, holding herself as to try and not fall for his supposed tricks. “Ribbons…”

“It's miss Bows to you, mister Fellow.” the cat beast woman spoke, her eyes cold as she looked at Fellow one last time. “I hope this is the last time we speak. Good night.”

And with that, she was gone, walking back to her house as she tried to contain the tears that kept falling from her eyes. Seeing Fellow again was the last thing she wanted, she thought she’d be angry, enraged at him, but she was mostly just… sad. He never loved her, not the same way she loved him.

After all, he was a tramp. A mere scoundrel, and she’d just been one of his preys.

Fellow loudly sighed and crouched down, grabbing a cigarette and lighting it up. He inhaled and exhaled and looked to the sky, his eyes looking at the stars for guidance. He was a fool, he knew that, who in their right mind would let Maisie slip through their fingers? A beautiful, kind, charming and strong woman, with a captivating voice who managed to make Fellow go crazy just by speaking his name. 

He never deserved her, but this time, it was like it was confirmed. She was a lady, after all, and she deserved a well meaning gentleman. Not a money hungry and selfish fox like him.

It was painfully clear now, that a lady like her would never be with a tramp like him.

•••

[Train station, a while after the events of Playful Land, before Fellow and Maisie met]

"Goodness, I'm beat. Those kids did a number on us, eh, Gidel?" Fellow stretched his arms as he said that, the feeling of the new clothes on his body felt great, it was as if he could finally relax after having to suck up to such an annoying boss. Gidel nodded, his clothes still oversized as ever, but at this point, Fellow was convinced he simply liked the feeling of them. "Now, I wonder where we should go..." He said that mostly to himself, grabbing a cigarette from his pocket and lighting it up, but Gidel seemed to take that as an actual question.

The kid got up from his seat and immediately began searching in Fellow's belongings, in the few bags they were able to bring from Playful Land. Fellow complained at him for looking through his stuff without asking, but once the smaller one showed up what he wanted, the ginger immediately shut up.

"Stop, leave that alone." Fellow said, immediately grabbing the small photo he so adored. "What did you want with that anyway?"

Gidel grabbed the hand he was using to hold the photo, and the cat beastman pointed towards the one in the picture, trying to convey what he wanted through his actions. Fellow stayed a moment in quiet, not because he didn't understand, but rather, because he was unsure.

"You know she doesn't want to see me, not even if I was covered in gold." He stared at the picture, a photo he took of Maisie when they first started dating. Even after they broke up he was unable to get rid of it, holding onto her smile for dear life. "As much as she likes you, I'm pretty sure it's going to be hatred by association because you walk with me, Gidel."

Gidel pleaded, his hands locked together as his eyes were closed. It wasn't just Fellow who missed her, Maisie had become an important figure in Gidel's life, and he hated the idea of not seeing her ever again, but now, they were free, they could see each other, so why not give it a try?

Fellow was quiet for a moment, before he sighed.

"Fine. But don't tell me I didn't warn ya later, you ninny."

-> sick to my skin - john egan x kit mckenzie

It was dark inside the carriage - so dark that Kit could only catch a glimpse of her surroundings when they passed a light outside, illuminating a narrow column of white that never lasted beyond a second. The tight press of bodies on either side reassured her that Dawn and Maisie were still there, still squeezed up against her within this mass of bodies, the stench of sweat and grime almost unbearable for those who weren't used to it.

But after two months out there, they were more than used to it.

There were no pretences left in the darkness. She could hear a man sobbing in the corner, and imagined an anguished face to match the voice, head buried in his hands as he muttered prayers between choked breaths.

Kit was so goddamn tired. But every time she'd felt sleep come to claim her, tugging at her eyelids until she was finally subdued, Dawn’s fingers would pinch at her thigh, or Maisie would dig her nails into her arm, jolting her back into the harsh realm of consciousness. It seemed in itself a form of cruel torture, but after the first couple of times, she began to realise that they were worried that if she fell asleep now, she simply wouldn't bother waking up again. 

After weeks of siphoning her rations - of secretly stripping away her own supply to keep the other two strong - she supposed it must have appeared to them as some kind of slow, passive suicide. Kit had never thought of it that way before, but there was a chance they had been right.

Thea's blood had dried on her hands until it turned brown, and then flaked off in pieces, one chip at a time. She had refused to waste the water it took to clean it.

"We'll stop soon," Maisie whispered, sounding less than convinced herself. "We've gotta stop soon, we can't go forever."

Dawn's voice was hoarse from hours of silence, her throat dry as bone. "Wherever we end up... at least they'll probably have beds."

The things she'd give for a bed right now. Kit didn't remember what a good one felt like. There'd been the hard mattresses at Thorpe Abbotts and the training grounds, and before that the shitty motel room beds - and before that the backseat of her dad's car. Somewhere along the line, there had been her childhood home and a bed that didn't leave her aching. She remembered what it had looked like, but not how it had felt.

Her body felt at once impossibly fragile and desperately heavy as they reached the end of the line, breaks screeching against the tracks as the train rolled to a stop. Finally, the light stilled long enough to see. Maisie scrambled to her feet, reaching down to seize Kit's wrists, hauling her up with a shared grunt as a wave of nausea flooded her stomach.

"Jesus, hold on I gotta-" Kit spoke, barely more than a whisper as she clamped a firm hand over her mouth. The others shared a glance as Dawn took her arm, slinging it over her shoulder.

"You okay?" She urged, and Kit nodded as the sickness slowly subsided, pushing her heels into the stilled ground beneath them as they shuffled towards the exit, swept along by the crowd of equally exhausted prisoners.

Daylight was blinding. It took every ounce of strength left in her not to stumble as they reached the doors, the sun stinging her eyes as her expression crumbled against it. Maisie's hand was in hers again, the pair guiding her down onto the ground below with as much care as if they were carrying a crate of porcelain. She figured she must have been pale enough to look the part.

"D'you remember what you said to them? In interrogation?" Maisie uttered as Kit surrendered her weight to her, shouldered so close together that her lips practically brushed her ear.

She could scarcely remember even being there. The moment she'd sat down in that chair, she'd simply switched off, gaze unfocused and unsettled against her surroundings, her interrogator's words hitting her ears but never reaching her mind.

"No." She confessed.

"Me neither."

The path ahead was long, barbed wire fences shrinking in the distance, and Kit could've sobbed at the prospect of having to walk it. But then there was Dawn again, propping her up, arm slung around her shoulders so her feet never had to take the weight of the rest of her. She wanted to thank her - she turned her head, opened her mouth to speak the words, but something got stuck in her throat, and nothing came.

"Yeah, I know," Dawn whispered as they began the trudge towards the front gates.

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

Sweat slicked her fringe, hair plastered to Kit's forehead as they hobbled into the camp, her gaze too fixed on the ground to take in her surroundings, too focused on the constant repetitive movement of putting one foot in front of the other without stumbling.

Too focused, that is, until a familiar voice split the air, slicing through the countless unrecognisable shouts that rose on all sides, catapulting her back into the present.

"Maisie!" Nora bellowed, clawing her way through the crowds to reach the fence, keeping pace with the stumbling group of arrivals as they reached the gates. At the sight of her friend, Maisie burst into tears, squeezing Kit's hand so tightly it hurt, teardrops cutting through the thin layer of grime that marred all of their faces.

"They're here," Dawn chuckled in disbelief, picking up the pace as best she could without having to drag Kit, a grin creasing her cheeks.

A small huddle of them were waiting close by as they entered the camp, flooding out of a nearby hut to see if it could be true - if they could possibly be here, alive.

Nora. Marty. Yara. And then-

Kit began to sob.

For a moment they were stuck still, staring. Kit McKenzie didn't cry - hell, if she was reliable for anything it was that; her relentless ability to simply take things on the chin and bear it. But in all her life, she couldn't remember ever having been so tired and so relieved all at once.

Yara was the first to come forward, taking her into sturdy arms, wrapping her in an embrace. Dark curls tickled Kit's nose as she buried her face into the crook of her neck, choking out another few sobs as she squeezed as hard as her exhausted body could manage.

"Cap'n," Yara whispered, and she could hear the reassurance in her voice, adjusting her arms to hold her tighter.

"I think I'm gonna fall over if you let me go," Kit admitted, already feeling her legs wobble from the moment Dawn had stepped aside.

"Okay. That's okay. Egan, get your ass over here, I swear-"

The second Bucky had first laid eyes on her, he'd frozen. His stomach had sunk, his throat clogged, a wave of nausea rising through him. Kit had always been scrawnier than most, but god she was so thin now. Her eyes were different - hollow where they'd always been bursting with life before, her cheeks void of colour as he finally found the switch in his brain that allowed him to move, dirt crunching beneath his boots as he made a beeline for her. Yara had kept a grip on Kit until the last second, but even then, she seemed to collapse into Bucky's arms the moment he reached her.

"Oh my god," He breathed, raising a hand to stroke her filthy hair, feeling his sweater grow taught as she balled the wool in her fists. "You're alive."

In that moment, a guard could have pointed a gun at them and neither would have noticed, their surroundings wholly forgotten. Kit's face was buried against his chest, taking one long, deep breath after another. Even after so long, even under the dirt and grime, he smelled the way she remembered - the way he had done that first night they'd spent together. She'd earnestly convinced herself that they'd never see one another again - that the war would always keep them apart, and by the time it was over he would have moved on away from her. But here he was, holding her tighter than he ever had before, his arms a shield around her after being vulnerable for so long.

"I need- I need to go inside, I need to talk to the crew," Kit insisted, squirming out of his grip even as every muscle in her body screamed at her to stay close to him for even one second longer.

"Okay," Bucky nodded, a solid grip on her arm for fear that she might lose her strength at any moment.

"Dawn. Dawn," She called, stumbling her way towards the blonde, words toppling out too fast to control. Dawn had been in hushed conversation with Hambone, their faces so close she hadn't quite been sure they weren't already kissing, but she turned as soon as her name rang out, brow furrowed as Kit approached. "Dawn, I have to tell them."

"No, hey-" She spoke forcefully, seizing Kit by the shoulders. "You have to eat something. You have to sleep. I'll tell them."

"I was there, it should be me," Kit shook her head, blinking away the tears that had welled up. John was stuck at her side, exchanging a wary glance with Howard as the two women spoke - whatever they had to tell the others, it wasn't good.

"Please," Dawn said, voice wavering, as if she were about to cry. "Kit. Go inside."

Kit's teeth dug into her lip, toying with the flesh as she stared back at her, eyes wide and dark and watering.

"... Okay," She seceded, speaking barely above a whisper as she leaned back against Bucky, letting him take some of the weight she was struggling to carry alone.

The hut was empty as they entered, its inhabitants spilling out into the cold to watch the new arrivals. He had guided her gently inside, a hand on each arm, her palm raised to cover one of his, to remind herself that he was real. Secure in the room's privacy, Kit turned to face him, a frown tugging at her expression. "John-"

His palms were on her cheeks, cupping her jaw as he pressed a kiss to her forehead, the taste of sweat and dirt fresh on his lips. Bucky held there for a moment before pulling away, the first trace of a smile etched upon her face.

"Thought I was never gonna see you again."

"Me too."

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

He brushed her hair, slow and gentle until it became impossible, bristles sticking against matted knots with every tug. "Just cut it off," Kit breathed, perched on the edge of his bunk, leaning forwards slightly to press her forehead against the side of the ladder as she began to grow dizzy.

"Kit, I can't-"

"Just get rid of it. I don't care, Bucky."

Benny had a pair of scissors hidden under the mattress. He knew where to find them, but once he had he wished he'd never picked them up, the tiny tool as heavy as a rifle in his hand. The mattress sank beside her as he took a seat, but she never turned to look back at him.

"... What happened out there?"

"Weren't exciting. We wandered around aimlessly for two months - stole to eat, went hungry when there was nothing to steal," Kit sniffed roughly, finally sparing him a glance. "Thea died."

As if on cue, Nora began to sob outside, the sound creeping its way through the cracks in the window frame. So Dawn had told them, like she said she would.

"I'm sorry."

She shrugged, turning her back to him.

"Just cut it."

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

He did a terrible job. Her hair was cropped short just below the ears, scrappy tufts protruding at odd angles where he'd had to cut almost to the scalp. It was a hack job - his only solace came with the knowledge that Nora would probably be able to salvage it. Once she'd stopped sobbing, that was.

Kit felt him run a hand through her hair, fingertips skimming against the rough, cut ends, and she fought the urge to lean back against his palm. His was a motion she was familiar with - from all the way back to that first night they'd spent together, she knew the feeling of John Egan's hand against her skin all too well. But she was just so tired.

Brady brought food, and a bowl of the cleanest water he could find. Although she had no idea what he had given her, she scoffed it down with such ferocity that it was a miracle she never choked, wiping a dribble of broth from her chin as she finished. Dawn and Maisie had eaten theirs with similar energy, the quiet hut filled with the unpleasant sounds of slurping as the rest of their crew remained silent, still shell-shocked by the news of Thea's loss.

If the water had been warm when Brady first found it, the heat had ebbed from it in the time it took Kit to eat, cold to the touch once Bucky set to cleaning her up. He was endlessly gentle, in a way no one could quite expect from a man so full of vigour, hands soft as they wiped the grime from her face, her hands, her back, every crevice that had gone untouched since the day of the crash. Kit found herself infinitely more ashamed of her filth than her nakedness once they were alone, the latter a sight he had grown somewhat accustomed to, although it had been so very long since he'd seen it.

She lifted her hand to move her hair, to grant him access to scrub at the back of her neck, only to swipe at empty air. From the moment she had first stripped herself of her clothes to the moment she was re-dressed in a new shamble of ill-fitting replacements, neither spoke a word. They didn't need to. There was so much left open between them, so much time unaccounted for, but everything that needed saying they already knew.

I missed you.

I'm glad you're here.

I'm still in love with you.

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

Bucky's bunk was rough against her bones, all points and corners from the hunger, but it was still the most content she'd been in weeks. The food had done her good. Her head felt clearer, her limbs felt solid. With the stench of her clothes and her skin cleared away, the need to retch was gone. Kit curled on her side, knees pulled up towards her stomach as he sat in a chair beside the bed, occasionally taking a strand of her hair between his fingertips, just holding it there - a physical confirmation of her presence.

Maisie was faring well. The room had filled again, their bunkmates sitting by in uncomfortable quiet as the once-timid radio officer paced back and forth by the window, picking and gnawing at her fingernails.

"Please, Maisie, just-" Nora sighed, the news of her fallen comrade ageing her ten years in just a few hours. "Sit down."

"We-" Maisie stammered slightly, pausing mid-stride, eyes wide like cornered prey. "We did something out there... Something bad."

Bucky glanced down at Kit. Her stare was fixed on her crewmate, unmoving, unrelenting, something indiscernible in her eyes that filled him with equal parts curiosity and dread.

"Maisie," Dawn hissed, jaw clenched. When Maisie met her gaze, she offered the slightest shake of her head - so modest it might have gone unnoticed had the entire room not begun to stare.

Maisie relented just as swiftly as she had begun, lip drawn sharply between her teeth as she piped down, perching on the edge of the bunk beside Dawn, who raised a comforting hand to the back of her neck. The pair had shorn their hair in an equally clumsy manner, mirroring Kit's state in a last-ditch effort to remove the proof of their ordeal.

Looking down at her again, John felt his brow furrow, a frown tugging at his features.

"... What did she-"

"Don't worry about it," Kit said, her voice coming out strong for the first time since she'd arrived. Whatever Flynn had been so worried by, it didn't seem to phase her. Before he could prod further, she rolled onto her other side, face almost pressed against the wall in the narrow bunk.

She was his Kit. She was. But something there was not.

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

Gale stirred from his sleep in the middle of the night, blinking as his eyes adjusted to the thick darkness, quickly recognising the familiar sound of snoring all around him. The room had been crowded before - with the new arrivals, it was even worse. But there was an unspoken understanding here - an acknowledgement that they'd rather be packed in here like sardines than out there apart.

His head lolled to the side, taking in what little of his surroundings he could make out in the dimness.

In the glare of a searchlight, peeking in from outside, he could make out John's silhouette, still slumped in his chair, sleeping soundly as Kit filled his bed. Her arm was draped across his lap. Even in his unconscious state, he held two fingers to her pulse.

Gale couldn't help but smile.

Decision

The quiet conversation between captain and adopted son was whispered around the medical bay, the unbelievable story told in great detail. Y/n caresses Maisie’s coils of hair a worried look to the injured girl and thoughts of prayers to her healing.

This wasn’t supposed to happen. Maisie was hurt and now Red is in captivity, being dragged behind the ship like some kind of show pony.

“I see. That’s some story Jacob,” Captain Crow says nonchalant and Y/n turns to tune in to their conversation.

“The hunter befriended a beast. Huh. What took me dead light. What am I supposed to think of you Jacob?” Crow asks leaning in.

“That thing…and I, we had an understanding.”

“You had a truce with a beast? Whatever happened out there is nothing compared to the centuries of war.” Crow seems that he was always somehow educating Jacob and it looked as though this time his son wasn’t getting it.

“But you weren’t there. The beast has done more to help the three of us during these few days. Even when Maisie got hurt, the beast came over to her, not to eat her but to comfort her.” Y/n speaks up.

“A beast do not give comfort. They take it and if you can’t see that girl then you’re a mindless as those beasts.” Crow quips.

“Those beasts took ya’ dead light. Would you like the other one go too?” Y/n threatens with a hand on her sword. Crow only gives Y/n a sideways glance before turning back to Jacob.

Y/n stands to the side of Jacob, feeling that his talk with Captain Crow was getting a bit testy.

“I know what I be, Jacob. I’m the son of a captain, who was a son to his captain. And if our birth is to fight then by God, we will fight. To be tested and find our greatness.” Crow is a bit closer now to Jacob.

“So, I ask you Jacob, my son…are you my enemy?”

Jacob’s eyes search the ground, an answer he had yet to even bring himself to have ready to give. Was he an enemy now? He was unsure.

Without anyone watching, Maisie is springing from her bed, grabs her knife and makes a beeline to Crow’s upper body. Her intentions were clear, but Jacob is quick to stop her, the excitement is quickly died down as Maisie falls to her knees in exhaustion.

“Let her go.” The little girl demands, tiredly. Jacob moves the knife away from Maisie and looks back up at Captain Crow.

She was still very weak. Y/n is quick to kneel next to Maisie and placed a hand on her back. The girl begins breathing heavily, obviously still tired.

Crow chuckles and stands to leave the sick bay.

“She’s all vinegar.” He spoke and grabs his hat and coat from behind First Mate Sarah Sharpe.

Y/n follows Jacob as he picks up Maisie and puts her back on to the cot. Maisie squints up at Jacob, determination still in her glare to make sure he paid attention to her next words.

“You have to save Red. She’s our friend.” Maisie breaths out weakly and Jacob sighs quietly.

“I’m sorry,” he tells her and Y/n looks at Jacob with pleading eyes.

“Jacob…” Y/n says in disbelief.

“She needs her rest.” The doctor interludes and Jacob nods.

“I’ll get you back home to Guelston. You’ll be safer there and you will live a long good life.” He promised her, Maisie only turns away.

“We first need to appear in Castle Whiterock, we have a date with the king and queen.” Crow says and Jacob looks back at Maisie with a conflicted look, then makes his way to Crow’s side.

Y/n steps in front of Jacob, halting his slow stride.

“Jacob, you can’t be serious? You can’t do this, you know it’s not right!” Y/n tells him but Jacob says nothing.

“Red is our friend. Why can’t you see that this isn’t what you want?” Y/n questions.

“Enough, Y/n. There’s nothing to be done.” Jacob affirms as he walks around her to grab his weapons belt. Y/n is right on his ass.

“Yes, there is! You just won’t give into the temptation that what you’re doing is wrong! This ain’t you, Jacob.” Y/n grabs his wrist, halting him again.

“Jacob, please…I’m just begging ya’. Do the right thing.” She begs and Jacob gently shrugs her wrist off his to walk alongside with Crow. The captain puts an arm around his shoulders as the two leave the medical bay.

“I imagine you could use a drink my boy.” Crow comments but Jacob says nothing turning to look back at Maisie then Y/n who was standing there with her arms crossed and a furrow brow.

Y/n returns to Maisie and holds her small hand a sigh leaving her lips.

“Y/n…how could Jacob do this?” She questions weakly.

Y/n sighs again and places a hand on her head to card through her coils.

“Rest now, Maisie. I will be here when you awake.” She tells her and a tear streaks down the girl’s cheek.

Brooklynn and Maisie sibling headcanons

Brooklynn introduced Maisie to Ester Stone after months of Maisie teasing her about her special interest. Now, some of their conversations consist entirely of quotes. It's like a secret language.

Maisie and Darius get along really well. Sometimes when Darius comes over to see Brooklynn, he spends half the time talking dinosaurs to Maisie

When the clone thing comes out Brooklynn teaches Maisie how to handle the media. Especially how to stay calm in the face of invasive questions about her family

(She also teaches them how to hack but their parents don't need to know about that one)

Brooklynn calls her Mai and she is the only one allowed to do so without being scowled at or worse

They never officially come out to each other. One day Brooklynn just asks 'wait what are your pronouns again?'

Maisie has a posters of Dr. Wu and Eli Mills up in their room that they both throw darts at when they're angry.

They're incredibly in tune to each others nightmares and will often wake up in time to stop the screaming

Some nights, when Maisie's claustrophobia is really bad, they sit on the roof until the sun comes up and Brooklynn tells her about all the cool places in the world.

They listen to horror podcasts and true crime together

They share social cues they've learned with each other. 'Did you know when people ask how you are they don't actually want to know???' 'Yeah had to learn that one the hard way.'

Maisie was very shocked to learn London and England are nothing like how Iris described it.

Sometimes they fight, when Brooklynn is terrified they're turning out too much like her

('You deserve a childhood, Mai! One without all this shit.' 'Well maybe that's not your choice to make.')

The only times Maisie feels really bad about what she did freeing the dinosaurs is when seeing one out in the wild triggers Brooklynn.

They cannot hide secrets from each other. Both because they know each other well and because neither of them can resist snooping to save their lives (sometimes literally I guess)

❛ hey baby, he's just something you'd regret. he's not a savior or the best you'll ever get. ❜

Listening to The Good Witch and getting the most insane song envy why didn’t I write this album

[kingofmyborrowedheart]

I feel in my bones that The Tortured Poets Department is going to be thematically similar to The Good Witch.

[mahs-dumpster]

a/n: I don't have a title for this one and for some reason I'm kinda shy about this so. I'll just post this and move on. Yup. Uhh tagging @4necdote bc I mentioned this to her

cw: fellow honest should be a content warning tbh; oc x canon (Maisie x Fellow); possibly ooc because I still haven't read Playful Land

words: around 1k

He couldn't take his eyes off of her, not after hearing her sing so beautifully on that stage. Her voice was high pitched, but it was soft and almost heavenly, it almost never went off tone, whenever a mistake was made she covered up so masterfully and wonderfully that it made it seem like the song was being improved. Every word seemed to captivate the audience — captivate him — and make them hypnotized, in awe of what they were experiencing at the moment.

That's why, to Fellow, he couldn't help but stare at the jazz singer who was currently drinking all the way across from him at that bar. A few minutes ago she looked like an angel, — in a way, she still does — almost ethereal… but now, she seemed human, like she could be reached, and Fellow wanted more than anything to talk to her, to use the charisma he had been building over the years to his advantage, not for a scheme like usual, but to get her attention, to make her beautiful blue eyes look at him. 

He needed to hear that voice directed towards him. 

As Fellow got up, with an idea as to how to approach her in mind, he saw that another man apparently had the same thought as him. He clicked his tongue and sat back down, not wanting to be pushy and try to fight for her attention, not wanting her to have this view of him before he even spoke.

The redhead glanced at them ever so often, curious as to how their interaction was gonna go. He saw as the man’s words seemed to make the cat beastwoman cringe, a wrinkle showing on her delicate features, and a twitch of her fluffy white ears; he tried touching her waist, which caused her to push him away, seemingly making the man angry. It was then that Fellow decided to take action. He walked straight towards the two after asking for another drink, a plan to shoo the man away, but before he could reach closer to them both he heard a loud groan, followed by a sound of satisfaction that came out of the singer’s throat. She had stepped on his foot, irritated with his advances and tired of repeatedly saying ‘no’.

Before Fellow could laugh though, he saw how the guy lifted his hand, his eyes widened in shock and anger as he quickly left the drinks there and ran towards the two, his hand holding the man’s wrist. 

“Now, there. That isn't very gentlemanly, is it?” Fellow said, his joking manner present as ever but his voice was firm. He pushed the guy, standing in front of the smaller woman who watched the situation with curiosity and shock at the audacity of the guy for trying to hit her. “I suggest you better leave. You wouldn't wanna get in trouble here.” 

It was a threat. Fellow’s fangs showed as he pronounced every word, his eyebrows furrowed with irritation. The guy grumbled something he couldn't care less about and walked away, then, Fellow finally sighed and looked behind him, a bit of worry in his eyes. 

“Are you, uh… are you alright, miss?”

“Oh.” The singer came back to reality and slightly bowed, a sweet smile on her lips as she nodded. “Yes, I’m ok. Thank you for helping me out, mister…?”

“Fellow Honest at your services, your ladyship.” He bowed playfully, making the woman giggle. It was music to his ears. “I have been keeping my eye on you ever since I saw your performance a few minutes ago.”

“Ah, I see. And what did you think of it, mister Honest?” 

“I can hardly speak my mind without knowing the name of the lady I talk to, can I?” Fellow said, his hand extended in a silent encouragement for her to introduce herself. The girl took his hand a bit hesitantly, but curious nonetheless.

“Well, alright." She started. "My name is Maisie Bows. Thank you for listening to my singing earlier today.”

“Maisie.” He tried, and realized he loved how the word rolled off his tongue. He hummed as a smile showed up in his face, then he brought her hand to his face, kissing gently the back of her hand. “A beautiful name for a beautiful lady.” Maisie let out a laugh, a more genuine one, and he noticed her cheeks getting red. She seemed to be delighted with their interactions, not being able to contain the smile on her face even after she stopped laughing.

“My, aren't you quite the charmer, mister Honest.” The woman joked, and Fellow couldn't help but chuckle, his hand never leaving hers. “Now, your opinion on my performance…?”

“It was one of the best I’ve ever heard.” She lifted an eyebrow as if she didn't believe him. “I promise, or my name isn't Fellow Honest.”

“I guess with a name like that you really can't lie.” Maisie sat down again on one of the benches at the bar, retrieving her hand from his grasp, and Fellow immediately missed her touch. “So. You came here just to play hero and compliment my singing?”

“Actually, I was coming here to offer you a drink.” He confessed, walking towards where he left said drinks, offering one to the woman sitting in front or him. “That is, if you would let me.” Maisie stayed quiet for a moment, as if thinking it over.

“I… don't really accept drinks nor food from strangers.” Is what she said, but he could see there was more in her eyes, a certain yearning he couldn't quite comprehend. He’d be a fool to simply give up when he saw that.

Fellow left the two drinks at the bar and called the bartender, looking at Maisie once they came closer. “If not, then let me pay you one. Your choice.” Maisie smiled and leaned against the bar, looking over at the options of drinks and pointing to one specifically. Fellow immediately ordered it and started drinking the one he already had in hands, not before curiosity struck him. “May I be so bold and ask for a dance as well, miss Bows?” 

Maisie turned to Fellow, she tried to contain a laugh but failed, she bit her nails as she pondered over his question, then she looked at him.

“We’ll see how this conversation goes.”

“Fair enough.”

•••

Maisie stirred in bed, the sound of her alarm clock bothering her sensitive hearing. As she turned it off, she sat up on her bed, a hand on her face as she remembered her dream, or better yet, her memory.

Her hands went to her phone, quickly opening the gallery and finding the small folder of photos she was not able to delete. A finger went over a picture of her and Fellow on a date, her wearing his stupidly big jacked as his arm was around her shoulders.

Maisie's eyes stung.

"Liar."
