OC HALLOWEEN CHALLENGE 2024. Day twenty-six. HORROR SUBGENRES.

Another throwback to a week long challenge we've done for this event. Make something that tells a horror story of your oc within a horror subgenre such as extraterrestrial, apocalypse, monster, time loop, isolation, time loop, cult, doppleganger, or anything else you can think of.

Befriending the Drew Crew was always bound to lead to some supernatural stuff, which was why Agatha always made her stance clear. She would help where she could from outside, never going into their mysteries with them. But one day, staying "outside" of the mysteries was not enough and Agatha is thrown into a time loop on a special day — her birthday. Now she's stuck reliving what's supposed to be her favorite day of the year dying...over and over again. It's up to her now, a girl who never wants to be involved in mysteries, to convince the Drew Crew of what's going on, find her killer and stop the time loop before she dies permanently.

[scarletslippers]

You know what I just realized? One day Nancy and Ace are going to tell their story, and laugh. In that way that couples do, when people ask how they met or got together. They’ll talk over each other and interject and laugh. And it will be lovely.

“So I’m standing there, just having worked up the courage to tell the girl I’ve loved forever that I have feelings for her, and she does nothing. Just stands there, staring at me.”

“I was in shock! I couldn’t process!”

“That is not true, you always process. Anyway, then her dad walks in—”

“The worst timing, let me tell you—”

“So then I just left. I had no idea what to do. I thought maybe I had just ruined the best thing I ever had.”

Nancy leans closer, entwining their fingers together. “You didn’t ruin anything.”

fifteen seconds to maine

on AO3

Ace is the bass player of up-and-coming band 'Fifteen Seconds to Maine' (formerly known as Gil Bobbsey and Band). He hates it. When the band are offered the chance to tour with rising popstar Laci McAllister, Ace reluctantly agrees to come along, if only to please Laci and the band's manager, Nick.

It's all going pretty well until the band arrives at the Claw, a bar owned and operated by a very pissed off George. She cancels their gig last minute, leaving Nick in a tailspin and petulant Gil in a mood to stir up trouble. George has called up experts, Bess and Nancy to sort things out but they have no idea what they're headed into.

Yeah... it's all a bit more than Ace signed up for.

-- or... I like writing ace in sexy professions xoxo

a joke I had a long time ago and a band name from an online generator that made me laugh for hours... many months and months and months later!!!

chapter 1 of 2.

love to everyone who's here 💛

I have a headcanon that Nancy eventually became fluent in ASL because Ace taught her (so she could communicate with Thom without having to have a translator), and after they're married and have kids, they use it to talk secretly. Like, their kids know some, but when they're young, they just know the basics. So, kind of like how a parent would spell something out to the other parent if the kid can't spell, Nancy and Ace sign to each other.

Nancy and Ace: *signing about putting them down for bed early because it's a holiday or special occasion, and they need to set up a surprise*

Kid: Stop it. I know you're talking about bedtime.

They'll do it in public, too. Why would Nancy shout across the aisle in a grocery store when she can just tell him to grab something while he gets the milk?

Nancy: *while you're over there, we need cheese.*

Ace: 👍

Or they'll be somewhere, like one of those parent-teacher things, but with activities and bingo? (My school used to do it, I think once a year, and I have no idea what it was called.) And they go because their kid/kids have a lot of friends, so it's another way for them to hang out. But Nancy and Ace don't necessarily like the other parents.

Nancy, fake laughing at something: *I'm so close to pretending kid is sick or something so we can leave.*

Ace, politely nodding along: *if this thing goes on any longer, I might help you.

The kids who are a little ways away: what are your parents doing?

Kid, who knows damn well what they're saying: idk, probably talking smack or something

I also like to think that sometimes Thom and Rebecca go to these school events, and Rebecca finds it hilarious that kid will mess with their friends about what Nancy and Ace are talking about, but Thom is just exasperated, because of course their kid would be as much trouble as they were.

Nancy, signing to Ace who's across the room: *did you remember to close that window we had open?*

Ace: *what, the one in the kitchen or the one upstairs?*

Kids friend: what are they saying?

Kid: they're debating whether to do their monthly sacrifice tonight or tomorrow.

Kids friend, who fully believes their Aunty Bess is a witch: haha *nervously sweats*

Thom: *Rebecca, they're doing it again.*

Rebecca: *cackling*

Nancy and/or Ace probably communicate with Nick like this around the holidays, too. I think it drives George crazy. (Bc damn right they find a way back together.)

Nick and Ace: *signing to each other*

Nick and George's kid: mommy, what are they talking about?

George, miffed: I don't freaking know.

Idk i just think this is a funny little hc about what their lives would be like.

"Growing up, I expected to fall in love during my first year at school and the rest is history. It feels awfully fast now that I’m staring it down. And I’m already a year behind.”

“Hey, Nancy, you’re not behind anything. You’ve got time.”

AKA the marriage pact au no one asked for

HAPPIEST OF BIRTHDAYS TO MY FAVORITE 🩵 @homebody-nobody You’re an angel and deserve all the good things. Thanks for pulling me deeper into Nace brainrot and for a million other reasons you already know.

(Sorry the moodboard is a day late)

The Nancy Drew fandom is so talented. There are so many intelligent theorists, amazing writers, creative artists, and soulful people. I figured I would show some of my favorite fic works, I had to limit it to one per author because Tumblr only allows 10 links per post.

@likestosolvethepuzzle wrote this. I feel like that's all I need to say tbh. Not enough adjectives to describe it!

A Nace Summer Camp AU that will blow your socks off. When you're done praising it in the comments you can help me convince @hucklebucket to unretire.

A sequel to The Space Between that you can read by itself, one of the tags is "Did I mention Ace wears a tux." Which is all you need to know.

This is how I wish Season 3 would've gone. @stuckonaglacierwithmacgyver is basically the opposite of Steve Harrington in Stranger Things 3. She's 3/3 Popeye!

Nancy gets blackmailed by a Hilltopper and Ace gets possessive (in an endearing way, not a douchebag way). LavenderDandelionCrown doesn't miss.

Nancy and Ace haven't seen each other in 10 years, and then get snowed in. The tension is peak. Excellent stuff from Server Mother

My favorite person in the world wrote this for me for Secret Sleuth. Beautiful is the word I would use to describe it. @timandlucy does not miss. Period

An amazing immaculate sweet season 4 alternative from the fiend known as @reviewdiaries

Two very different but equally amazing memory fics from two amazing and talented writers.

I'm also throwing out an honorable mention to an upcoming Selkie fic that I know is gonna be a masterpiece. 👀👀👀👀👀👀

PSA on tagging ships

I am lowkey begging everyone to use & for platonic pairings.

This is what we used to do in fandom back in the day (not that far back tho) and it distinguishes between your classic romantic/sexual ships where you want to see them kiss etc. and the ones where it's just... two characters interacting.

Like if you were referring to Sam and Dean ~romantic stylez~ you would use Sam/Dean or Sam x Dean, but if you were just appreciating their platonic relationship you'd use Sam & Dean (or Sam&Dean).

If you tag two something as Annie x Barb I am going to assume Annie and Barb kiss, okay, and then one of two things happens:

If I'm into that I'm going to be disappointed when there's nothing shippy.

If I'm not into that I might not engage with that fanwork to avoid it.

Basically remember:

Person A/Person B = non-platonic

Person A x Person B = non-platonic

Person A & Person B = platonic

What I love/hate about Smosh is that they can give us the exact video we want, but if it isn't the particular dynamic we wanted, the video is RUINED.

[hepaidattention]

that one where Nancy says Ace's full name

Ace looks at Nancy, exhaling a big puff of breath from his lungs, and the smallest of smiles creeping up the corners of his mouth. "Feels kinda weird, doesn't it? Being free from the supernatural drama for once?"

Nancy, eyes wide, mind racing, turned her head slowly as she looked up at her smiling Ace. Free from supernatural drama. Free. They were free. They had been free for months and they didn't even know, and now here they were, side by side, free, and neither of them had done anything about that. "Yeah, it uh... kinda makes you wanna do something crazy, you know? Something uncharacteristic, something..."

"Spontaneous?" He wiggled his brows at her and Nancy couldn't help but give a splitting face grin back. Then he added, "What're you thinkin'? Paris?"

She nodded thoughtfully, then turned to face him completely. "I was thinking something a little more spontaneous than that,"

"Yeah?" Ace laughed, his hand running through his hair just to place it back in the perfect spot. "What could be more spontaneous than Paris? Getting married?"

He was joking, it was obvious. He was laughing and expecting Nancy to be laughing with him, but his smile deflated when he met her serious, bright blue eyes and said, "Yeah," then she shrugged, then said, "Honeymoon in Paris would make it even better."

His mouth opened, then closed. Then it opened again, then it closed again. His hands were on his hips in a very confused and serious stance, and finally he said, "Nance, are you saying what I think you're saying?"

Nancy shrugged, "I'm saying I love you, and not being able to say that I love you has been torture for the past few months. Now that I can, I don't intend of ever not saying it again."

"Nancy..." He was searching her eyes, panic in his, clearly terrified she wasn't real right now, or she was messing with him, or this was all another part of Temperance's ploy to ruin their happiness all over again.

So, Nancy took it upon herself to make it very real. "I am asking you in the middle of the sidewalk of Horseshoe Bay, in the purest spirit of spontaneity and love, that you, Joseph 'Ace' Hardy, will marry me."

"Resurected and proposed to all in the same day," he chuckled, his grin growing bigger and bigger by the minute. "Most definitely will be telling our grandkids about this one."

At this point, Nancy was wrapped securely in Ace's arms. She rolled her eyes teasingly as she said, "So... is that a yes?"

"Can I think about it?" Nancy would have said yes if he wasn't obviously joking. Before she could even answer he said, "I thought about it. I think Greece might be a better honeymoon destination."

Nancy rolled her eyes at him again, said, "Hell no," and pulled him from the collar of his shirt, bringing their lips together in a messy but sweet kiss. It was a kiss to make up for all of their lost ones, every opportunity stolen from Temperance, now being taken back and reclaimed as their own.

"Hey, get a room," they heard in a deep voice, a little too deep. They both pulled apart to see Bess walking up behind the two of them with a wide and beaming smile on her face, the obvious culprit of the fake deep voice. She gave a little wave and said, "Sorry to interrupt, but Nancy your dad's are looking for you."

"Oh perfect -" Nancy looked back up at Ace, knowing Bess was about to lose her mind. "Do you think they both can walk me down the aisle? Or what are we thinking, court house?"

Bess turned the color of a ghost - which would be white. She clenched both of their arms with a tight grip and said, "I'm sorry, is there something I'm missing?"

"Nothing much, just planning a wedding is all-" Ace pretended not to seem effected by Bess' squeals, "do you think Bess could be a best man - best woman?"

"Hmm, I don't know, I think Nick would be offended by that," Nancy was just being cruel at this point.

"Oh, to hell with Nickerson!" Bess exclaimed, both Ace and Nancy no longer able to hide their laughter, "If anyone is going to be Ace Hardy's best man it is going to be me." She crossed her arms over her chest and firmly said, "Now, what's this nonsense about a courthouse?"

Nancy smiled at her friend. She intertwined her fingers with Ace's and they walked hand in hand as they listened to Bess plan the most extravagant last minute wedding in Nancy's houses backyard. They walked their way up the sidewalk, up into the apartment, and with grins on their faces, shared the news with a roaring of applause.

Because after all they'd had been through together, no one could think of a better happy ending.

[scarletslippers]

you think you have to go it alone (but you don't)

For @flythesail - Happy Birthday, Ash! Technically it's less than 7 days since your birthday, so it's still your birthday week, so I'm definitely not late

The latest in my Canon, but make it Established Nace series! 1x10 if Nancy and Ace were together - except it's 1x10, so these two are still figuring it out, okay? Read on AO3

“Ace, did you drive here?” Nancy asks incredulously as they make their way out the front door of The Claw. 

He shrugs. “Yeah.”

At least four questions play across her face before she settles on one. “How?”

“Florence has my back. We made it work.” 

Nancy bites back a smile, striving to look disapproving. “Okay, well, I’m driving.” 

“But Florence—”

“Has my back, right?” she parrots triumphantly. 

She has him there. 

Ace reluctantly climbs into the passenger seat. None of this is the way he imagined her driving Florence, but he’ll take what he can get. She starts up the engine and sets off while he fidgets, restlessly toying with the strap of his sling. 

Nancy huffs a soft laugh and spares him a glance before turning her eyes back to the road. “I promise I’m a good driver.”

“It’s not just that, it’s—” He gestures with his good hand, as if that will articulate what he means.

“Everything,” she finishes, anticipating his vague ending. “How are you? All things considered.”

if someone asked me at the end, i'd tell them put me back in it [READ ON AO3]

it's new year's eve & ryan hudson is not about to let his daughter repeat his mistakes.

set somewhere in that month that nancy was avoiding ace in 3x13. ryan fights for nace.

It was New Year’s Eve 2019 and the town of Horseshoe Bay closely resembled the picture-perfect setting in the snow globe on the counter. A light layer of snow was dusting the streets, Christmas lights were still twinkling in windows, loved ones were beginning to gather to ring in the new year, and Nancy Drew was staring miserably at the sorbet options in front of her. “It feels like 2019 has been four years long. I’m ready to be rid of it,” she grumbled to her companion, pausing her pity party only to offer the ice cream shop worker a small smile at the end of her request for a single scoop of raspberry sorbet. Ryan Hudson, on the other hand, was all smiles. Hot fudge sundae in hand, he had already left a generous tip by the time Nancy’s smile dropped. A gesture for her to pick a spot to sit in the completely empty room soon followed. “You’ve been sad lately.” A serious understatement.

happy secret sleuthmas (@secretsleuthexchange) to beth (@stuckonaglacierwithmacgyver)! wishing you a very merry christmas and a happy new year!
