sally xavier is the EPITOME of "I wish my sister knew how badly I wanted to be her friend."

[svnnyd4ys]

go ahead and imagine yourself in Sally Xavier-Leftenmostwindow's shoes after the events of TLW for a minute.

how could you ever trust anyone in your family ever again?

your mother used her fucking superpower to make you think you fucked your sister's husband, which is just- majorly fucked up, on so many levels.

your sister has the same fucking superpower, which is just- unfair!

your father's fine, most of the time, but Samantha and Mother both need him more, so when have you ever gotten anything from him?? you had to practically jump him to get any sort of information, but you still wear the act of being 'Daddy's Little Princess' because Samantha cannot take another thing from you.

she has Egbert (which is fine, you don't even want that life anyway) but people are talking.

about you, about the family, about the scullery maid you got sent away- Sally, you cannot even breathe wrong, without one of father's old war buddies (from the Boer war. God, men in this family and their need to feel useful) offering up a son, a family friend, a distant cousin, for you to marry.

mother always had the most stability in these situations. there would be a cold, clammy, comforting hand to the nape of your neck, or to your forehead, and a polite denial.

she could always see that you were different, and now she can't see you at all.

none of them can.

Egbert could, but now he doesn't even speak to you. Father says that Samantha is still uncomfortable around you, even though it wasn't even you. none of this was you.

it still isn't.

The Leftenmost Window characters in a (modern) British school

(this is based off of my school, so yk might not be accurate for everywhere ofc)

SALLY XAVIER - she is one of the netball girls (PE teachers love her) - "You going shops at break?" - in year 10 (9th grade) - took PE, Food Tech, Art and Geography GCSE (a lot of coursework) - she and her netball gang basically occupy one of the girl's bathrooms in the geography block every break and lunch - very good at maths/sciences, doesn't try but still manages to get good results, so even when she isn't paying attention, the teachers don't really get mad at her - has about 5 Victoria's Secret or So...? body sprays in her bag at all times - always accidentally leaves her food tech ingredients at home - always gets called Samantha by teachers (even though they don't really look *that* similar) - nice when she's not with her netball friends, but will ignore you if she is - spends a lot of time in her head of years office because she gets overwhelmed by everything very easily, and her HOY is her biggest support system - her school tie is criminally bad (it starts off good but as soon as she gets into the school building, she gets 'swot-knotted' and gives up) and she never wears her blazer

SAMANTHA XAVIER - used to be a netball girl, but quit in year 11 (unlike Sally, she wasn't close with the people on her netball team) - "Who took my lanyard?" - in year 13 (final year of high school) - took English Literature, English Language and Biology for her A-Levels - suffers from migraines and spends a lot of her time in the medical office/listening services because they're the quietest places in school - building on that, she has an LSS pass which means she can take breaks from lesson if she needs and the teachers aren't allowed to stop her - passed all of her GCSEs apart from German (she took Computer Science, German, Drama and PE) - has been going out with Egbert since year 10, because they were in the same GCSE Drama group - pretends not to know Sally in the hallways, but will go into Sally's classrooms to drop off bags and any books that she forgot by loudly announcing it and embarrassing her - applied to be head girl, but got rejected because of her attendance - has at least 5 hair bobbles on her person at all time, because her biology teacher gives them a lot of practicals and goes mad if you don't tie your hair back - absolutely despises assemblies

EGBERT BABB-DAILEY - used to be a roadman, but pulled his act together at the end of year 11 and managed to pass all of his GCSEs (everybody was very proud of him) - "You're actually such a beg." - in year 13 and took German, Maths and Economics A-levels - student librarian because he feels bad for the amount of chaos he used to cause to the actual librarians - his teachers chose his GCSEs for him, because he really just didn't care and got good grades in everything anyways (ended up in RE, Drama, German and Triple Science) - pushes in line in the canteen because he's a sixth former and therefore priority /hj (the teachers love him, so he doesn't get in trouble) - gets in trouble for being on his phone in the lower school - has at least 5 hair bobbles of Samantha's all the time, just in case she loses hers - his mum is an ICT teacher so he always goes and hangs out in her classroom - lives next door to Peter Stephen and is always late because he has to walk Peter to school, and Peter is always late

ALEXANDER XAVIER - Economics/Woodwork teacher and year 8 tutor - "If you swing on that chair you'll fall backwards and smash your head open. I saw it happen!" - strict, but most of the students love him - when he has to give an assembly, he mysteriously goes off sick - whenever Egbert comes over to see Samantha, it turns into a tutoring session - never immediately tells people the answers, and will stare at them until they at least say something - comes into school very early to set things up, and Sally usually goes in earlier with him

THOMASIN XAVIER - part time drama teacher (has dizzy spells which means she has to take time out) - "Uh, girls! This isn't a salon!" - loved by students who have her for A-Level/GCSE but those who only have her because they're forced to despise her lessons - lets you eat in her class as long as you have brought enough for everyone and are actually doing work (she will check) - takes note of which students are comfortable performing vs those who aren't and acts accordingly - comes into school later than her husband, and Samantha drives her in

oughh Samantha taking after her mother, even when she was younger and not even knowing it.

having visions of Sally (who was always the more rambunctious of the two) falling out of that leftenmost window; of meeting Egbert (who was destined to be with her, always with) at her uncle's stables for the first time. the most important events of her life always came with the same feeling, the same funny turn, the same things would happen every time:

Sally would knock on her bedroom door, begging her to play. (Samantha would turn her down, sobbing once she finally heard the sigh of discontent from her sister as she finally left)

Thomasin would come into the room after she thought Samantha had fallen asleep, and gently brush the hair from her face, before taking a silent vigil by that window. (how still Samantha would be, as her mother would finally be looking at her instead of past her)

she didn't remember the visions. it was always an intense feeling of deja vu, an intense "i've been here before. i've seen this but i can't stop it"

she remembered the migraines. the nursemaids and nannies fluttering and fussing around her. (her father never coming to her room, "Sally needs him more. You have your mother!" the governess would explain, as she and Samantha did their private lessons)

unlike Sally, Samantha loved reading and writing. the lessons with the governess were the highlight of her week, and she was encouraged by her to keep a journal.

so she'd sit in that leftenmost window (the same one that Sally fell out of, the same one that her mother would take her to the astral plane through, the same one that she sees Egbert coming back home from) and she would write.

and when Samantha is finally told the truth, she picks up those journals for the first time in years, and she reads and she writes.

when Egbert comes home, she reads and she writes.

pieces slowly click into place. Samantha is starting to understand herself, but she's not sure that she'll ever be able to forgive herself, or her mother, or her father, not fully. but Samantha feels like herself for the first time in years.

it's just about midnight on Sally's 18th birthday, and she knocks on Samantha's bedroom door. it's tentative, and unsure, and Samantha thinks she might be hallucinating at first, but when she goes and sees her little sister stood there (crooked smile and crooked teeth, and her crooked nose that never fully healed after the window incident)-

"Sam? Do you- Can- Would you like to sneak down to the kitchens with me?" Sally asks. she's nervous and Samantha's nervous. and then Sally starts to turn, "It was stupid- actually- nevermind- I just thought, for old times sake-"

"Can I grab my housecoat first?"

[svnnyd4ys]

Fellas, if your girl:

Has a mother who often suffers mysterious migraines

Has a father who fought in the Boer War

Has a younger sister (with lovely cheekbones) who is convinced she fucked you

Can project her consciousness across space and time

Spies on the Germans for you

She is not your girl! She is Samantha Xavier, and you should probably stop taking her sister into the gardens (and talking about her cheekbones, no matter how much you prefer some 'cushion for the pushin'', it won't help your case). Her mother sees everything. And somehow since you've been gone, so does darling Samantha.

I mean, how do you think her father won the Boer War?!

[svnnyd4ys]

sfth moments as headlines

(idk if this makes sense, i literally had surgery today and i'm making these to distract myself lmao)

[svnnyd4ys]

like.

okay.

You were 5 years old when your father returned home, and your mother was already deteriorating and so, your older sister (only by a few years), is taking care of you mostly. Sure, there's been nannies, and housekeepers, but she's been the only person to ever understand you. She and mother have always been closer (even when father returned, your mother could never see herself in you) and so, you keep to yourself. And when father returned you latched onto him. Your sister was jealous, but she had mother! Why should she care?

You just turned 11 when your sister introduced you to Egbert. (Every pivotal moment of your life revolves around a man, and at this point, you're not even sure if you want them). Your sister is 17, Egbert 18 and one night, your sister confides in you all her plans for the future. You start to think that her future isn't the one you want for yourself. When you tell father the next day, he doesn't seem to mind, but no one can really see his thoughts anymore. Not even mother, who had been more keyed in as of recently. (Your sister tells you privately, that she tried to delay them meeting as much as possible- just in case mother scared him off.) Later that year, they marry, and your younger cousin (from Saxony, named Priscilla, her side of the family have always been odd,) joins you as a flower girl. You, for the first time, are in charge of making sure everything goes according to plan, and you kill it! It's the first time in years you see your mother smile

You are 17 years old, the Great War has just started. Your father (who suffered a very traumatic head injury during the Boer war) is the main caretaker for you and your older sister, and has been, since your mother's migraines started to develop much more severely since the end of the Boer war. (Your father's presence causes your mother physical pain, but they still manage to take care of each other). And one day, you wake up to the vivid memory of fucking your sister's husband. Which is- not ideal. Your mother has been up and about for weeks now, erratic behaviour once again filling the halls. Your sister's been practically glued to the window, and you can't tell her yet. It'd crush her. The only person you can talk to is father. So you do. You tell him every little grimy detail, and he barely reacts, before dropping the biggest bombshell. Superpowers! Of course! Your sister doesn't know yet, apparently, and you're not allowed to tell her anything of what you and father spoke about. (Suddenly, everything about mother makes sense. You don't feel as though you're allowed to be angry at her, but something just doesn't feel fair.) Father and your sister have always struggled to talk to each other. and he lets you tell her the truth of the magic powers. It didn't feel right- why were you in charge of this? But you told her anyway, and safe to say, she was not impressed.

Mother changes everything, though. She did this all on purpose. And when Egbert returns, you can barely look your sister in the eyes, so you go and hide in your room.

None of them come to check on you.

sally leftenmost window (xavier?) you have actually never left my brain x

updated SFTH family tree!

i've created a new post so that it is easier for me to explain all the little bits and bobs involved :)

thank you to not-an-idiot for helping me and for the amazing ideas!! (idk if they're okay with being tagged, but i hope that you see this :) )

here's the overview, more details under the cut!

-

"Big-Dick" has been Arthur's nickname for all his life, and it's his pen name. He is the main source of any and all 'powers' within the family, as he is also able to traverse across the astral plane (he's either immortal or a time traveller, but either way, he dedicates his books to his great-grandson - Samuel 'Big-Dick' Babb-Dailey, which is )

Jonas Langbrook is the manor owner from 'Too Big to be a Jockey'. He loves his nieces on Thomasin's side (Samantha and Sally) and encourages Samantha to spend more time out of the Xavier household by inviting her to come and help in the stables. This is where Samantha and Egbert meet for the first time.

Earl changes his last name because he is ashamed to be associated with his family, especially after Jonas' antics... He is the father from 'Priscilla's Final Petal'.

Annabelle is Priscilla's biological mother, and the child of Inga and Hugh from Marigolds, Bluebells and Hugh (which I haven't watched in ages so if this is incorrect pls tell me!!)

(feasibly, she could be adopted and they are just raising her together bc of societal standards at the time, am not saying it has to be romantic!!)

Samuel is the protagonist from Beetroots & Murder - Samantha and Egbert die when he is young, Sally/Earl are unable to take him in so he gets adopted and moves to Somerset with his adoptive parents, Cyrus and Summer Setchell.

He becomes a single father to James Babb-Dailey (the father from 'The Neighbour's Under The Bed') who is the father of Johnny and Janae, which explains the future dreams. (and if Samantha and Egbert die in a fire, then it kind of adds to the lore)
