#oh my god the family au would be so good with the catshifter au

Let’s be fair, if Jekyll had brothers and sisters he tussle with both of them at least once. Are you really siblings if you haven’t fought but it becomes too serious and your like “no no please don’t cry hit me back.” I honestly do like the idea of Jekyll being the middle child (like he’s the youngest boy but sandwiched between two sets of girls) of a large-ish middle class family, his dad was a doctor as well but his mom was a midwife before having kids and went back to it when all her kids were grown.

No but also Imagine this statue-esque blonde women with blue eyes looking like if Hyde has grown a whole foot in half and wore his hair in plaits, and just smiling at Rachel like “hullo! I tried to call but he never responded, is Hendri..ahem Henry Jekyll here?”

“Yes, but if I may ask, who is asking for him?”

“Ah, yes, I’m his sister!” Shes obviously trying to temper her accent

(For something reason I think Rachel would be trying to tie her appearance to Hyde and doing mental math to realize that Jekyll has a sister pop out of nowhere. Also I like to think her name could be Katherine because Jekyll having a sister with the nickname kitty is cute to me. Mairead and Kitty)

Anon stop hc Henry's family better than me this is unfAIR- /lh

Ommm ok but now I'm imagining all kids being rowdy bastards so the family had to impose a rule that if they are fighting and want to start wrestling they have to do that in the garden. Mr. Jekyll being the classic rowdy dad who thinks his sons are all going to be big strong fighters but it ends up being the daughters who are out to tear each other's eyes out (even if they are all a loving family, they all just love to wrestle). Henry learning to fight because his brothers keep challenging him to wrestling fights after storms and when you are the youngest brother and have to keep yourself afloat in a battle on runny mud, you learn to be resilient. Henry will accept a challenge from his brothers any time of day but his little sisters? Ahaha no he would rather drink a gallon of cyanide. The Jekylls just have a whole bunch of energy and a whole lot of frustration to get out, ergo, play fights (maybe that's why Hyde loves fighting so much, because Henry can't do it anymore?).

Katherine my beloved <3 Her getting put in charge of finding Henry while the family rest/book some rooms in a hotel or something so she is just wandering around London to the Society (knowing the address and asking around, of course). The first one she meets is Rachel and she does her best to keep her accent at bay (either that, or just fucking balts out the thickest accent possible because she isn't ashamed of no Scottishness). Rachel is just... Incredibly confused, mesmerized by how close Katherine and Hyde looks until they hear the most excited gasp and a loud "KITTY!!!!". Henry found them and absolutely tackles Katherine in a hug, and Rachel realizes that either A, they are the exact same height (i.e Katherine is stupidly tall for a woman) or B, Katherine is actually taller. I love to imagine Henry being the runt of the family <3
