The Steele Family Album: Volume XIX

Back at the Steele family home, there's an important event taking place.

Simon is meeting his daughter Laura for the first time.

But there's also a goodbye to be said - this time to Lucy. And William is actually cheering about it! 😮 Things have been rather frosty between them, ever since he witnessed Lucy's moment of weakness with George, but this is a whole other level of vindictiveness!

And then - perhaps through divine providence - the living room furniture catches fire. Thankfully, the urns containing the ashes of Lucy and Meg on the mantelpiece survive the blaze intact!

Catherine and Simon have also been a little careless again. Or perhaps it was by design this time?

Catherine very sensibly goes into labour in the nursery...

...and gives birth to a second daughter - Rebecca. Let's hear it for recessive genes! She has her great-grandmother's eyes, passed on through her grandmother Kitty.

Shortly after, arriving home from work one evening - with a colleague in tow - karma finally sneaks up on William from behind, in the form of Grim.

He doesn't mind too much. After all, he is going to rest in peace in a tropical paradise - or maybe just to sit on the mantelpiece, next to his fiancée and his cat. Who can say?

Brie is noisily outraged at the departure of her Sim. But Independent Dolly - having no strong bond with the rest of the family - makes the pragmatic decision to try her luck elsewhere, and slopes off alone into the darkness of the night.

Of course, Catherine reports Dolly as missing straight away - she is an elder now, and Catherine is worried about her being out on the streets. But whether she will be seen again is anyone's guess. Cats, after all, are their own masters.

Pride and prejudice (2005)

dir. joe wright

[radiophd]

richard youngs & simon wickham-smith -- 2005

[dreamyelectronicmusic]

I'm pretty sure I made a similar post after S1 but I'm thinking about a Pride and Prejudice-inspired AU, specifically the part near the end where Darcy just goes and quietly fixes the Lydia/Wickham situation.

So imagine Wille and Simon didn't get back together at the end. Wille is still the crown prince but is having doubts and has already spoken to Kristina about wanting to step down. It's been a couple of years since he and Simon last saw each other.

Then Sara gets into some kind of serious trouble (idk what but the solution is NOT her marrying August). Wille finds out about it somehow (maybe he finds out through August, who's just like "thank god we aren't involved anymore, that would have been embarrassing" instead of doing anything to help) and then proceeds to neglect his duties for several days doing everything he can to fix the situation. The Royal Court is furious but Wille doesn't care. He thinks about how upset Simon must be and that's all that matters to him. He has the power to help Simon so of course he does it.

He asks Sara not to tell Simon because he wants to respect his space and doesn't want him to feel like he owes Wille anything, and also doesn't think Simon would be impressed that some problems can be solved relatively easily by Wille throwing his royal weight around while being essentially unfixable for a normal person.

But then (probably unrealistic but let's suspend disbelief) the Queen shows up at Simon's place, demanding to know if they're back together and if Simon is the reason why Wille wants to step down and insisting that Wille can't continue neglecting his duties for Simon. And Simon is like "???? sounds like you should try talking to your own son."

After she leaves Simon is just stunned. Surely this can't mean that Wille still has feelings for him... can it?

This scenario has been living in my brain especially since I recently came home from a bad day of work and just had to watch my comfort movie so…

Imagine you’ve had a horrible, awful, no good day and come back to yours and Simon’s home. You get changed into your comfiest pajamas and flop onto the couch, turning on Netflix and scrolling through the endless lists of shows and movies for something to watch and settle on Pride and Prejudice (the 2005 version ofc). You’ve seen it more times than you can count but it's your comfort movie, so yes - you’re watching it again. Making yourself comfortable on the couch, you get about 5 minutes into the movie when Simon gets home from work. After your usual greetings and a peck on the lips you reach out for the remote to turn off the movie, assuming Pride and Prejudice isn’t exactly his cup of tea.

“What are you doing?”

“Just turning it - I know you don’t care for thi-”

“No, we’ll watch it” 

You chalk this up to Simon understanding that you’ve had a bad day - that he’s willing to sit through anything for you. So he shimmies next to you on the couch, him sitting and you laying down, your feet resting in his lap. 

You figure that Simon may slightly dissociate during the film as you can’t possibly imagine a man like him would find this kind of thing entertaining. You get further and further into the plot and, despite seeing it time and time again, find yourself giggling and kicking your feet at the infamous hand flex scene. 

“What was that all about?” Simon is clearly confused, but amused by your reaction.

“The tension - the way he flexes his hand after touching hers - hell, the way he’s not even wearing gloves - you wouldn’t get it” you finally give up on trying to explain the definition of romance when you hear Simon chuckling at your ramblings. 

But when you reach the confession scene, where Elizabeth and Darcy stand in the rain shouting at each other, Simon surprises you. 

“The hell?” you hear a gruff voice say beside you.

“What?”

“What kind of confession was that? He just insulted her entire family.”

“Do my ears deceive me, or are you actually getting into this movie?”

“Never said I wouldn’t,” he scoffs.

“Well just keep watching!” you urge.

Throughout the rest of the film, Simon makes more comments. You do your best to hide your amusement - the movie clearly piqued his interest. You both watch as the rest of the story unfolds; Elizabeth touring Darcy’s estate, Lydia eloping with Mr. Wickham (“What a sorry sod that Wickham is.” Simon had said, which had you utterly rolling.), Bingley proposing to Jane, and finally - Darcy proposing to Elizabeth. 

Since Netflix happens to show the american ending of the film (controversial, I know), you and Simon watch as the final scene folds out before you two. Tears threaten to spill from your eyes as you hear Kiera Knightley and Matthew Macfayden recite: 

You may only call me Mrs. Darcy when you are completely and perfectly and incandescently happy.

And how are you tonight, Mrs. Darcy? 

Simon pretends not to notice your glazed eyes as the movie fades to black. Sitting up and stretching with a groan, you look over at the clock realizing it was getting late, then back at Simon, “Well? How’d you like that?”

“S’alright” Ghost shrugs his shoulders

You scoff, “Yeah sure, that’s why you were glued to the screen.”

Simon chuckles and stands from his place on the couch, stretching as you did before turning back towards you. He outstretches a hand and gives you a small smile, “Ready for bed, Mrs. Riley?”

The top three most submitted fandoms are Homestuck, Danganronpa, and One Piece, excluding submissions that were spelt wrong or spelt differently. The top three submitted characters are Haiji Towa, Vriska Serket, and Stella Goeta (stella has so many submissions it’s funny)!

The Steele Family Album: Volume XX

With Catherine and her daughters moving in with Simon and his family, it only makes sense for Nancy, Steve and the boys to take over the family home - giving them the space that they were sorely lacking in their rented accommodation.

Alasdair meets Mozzarella, who came with the house.

They move in just in time for Andrew's 5th birthday.

~ Aries 7 / 7 / 8 / 1 / 0

~ Coward / Hot-Headed / Genius

~ OTH: Fitness

~ Favourite Colour(s): Yellow

Those zero Grouchy/Nice points are very much in evidence.

Andrew might not be the nicest kid, but there's still a lot of brotherly love between him and little Alasdair.

Mozzarella is looking for some love too - he spent the whole night wandering from room to room, trying to get some attention!

That's better!

Alasdair swiftly catches up with his big brother.

~ Sagittarius 9 / 3 / 7 / 1 / 3

~ Brave / Loves the Outdoors / Genius (another smarty pants)

~ OTH: Nature

~ Favourite Colour(s): Purple

A brief interlude, in which their neighbour Lucas walks his cat (Trinny).

Andrew makes up for his deficit of personal charm by being diligent and conscientious.

It's a family trait.

Meanwhile, Mozzarella is diligently and conscientiously distracting the staff.

Oh! That took everyone by surprise, although Andrew is taking it in his stride.

And being unexpectedly pregnant doesn't seem to have improved Nancy's sense of humour one bit.

Which are your favourite proposals in historical, modern romance and movies?

Omg, fun!

For movies, I immediately have to call out Crazy Rich Asians. The moment when the ring was revealed, I remember this audible gasp in my theater (including me and my mom). Such a great way to close a loop in a movie, while being super romantic and swoony.

Obviously, Pride and Prejudice 2005. I prefer the way Joe Wright did it not only to the 90s miniseries, but the book as well. The rain adds to the atmosphere and passion, the anger and tension is palpable, the way the mood changes when McFadyen goes "Mr. WickHAM", the almost kiss. So good.

For all that there is some content that hasn't aged the best, Colin Firth's proposal in Love Actually was primo. The language barrier was used perfectly, and of course the reveal that she'd been learning English while he was learning Portuguese.... adorable.

This is technically in a miniseries, but it's piggybacking off two movies, so I'll mention it... When Q tracks Shelby down in The Best Man: The Final Chapters and does a grovelprosal??? So good. Like, you watched these two, objectively the most caustic and like... edgy? People in the series, dance around each other with random hookups (and a secret baby lol) for years, and he finally has to completely debase himself in front of a bunch of watching women who are like, filming this shit, begging her not to leave... So fucking satisfying.

For books, I would have to say....

The Bride Goes Rogue by Joanna Shupe and The Duke Gets Even both have really good proposals, and neither one goes well for the men in question for very different reasons. Preston's in Bride is honestly a bad proposal because he's a broken human being who doesn't know how to accept that he loves Katherine and needs to be with her, and she's like "I deserve better than 'we should get married because we make sense and the sex is bomb'" and just sweeps out and leaves him like a broken man. Whereas Lockwood in Duke is completely in love with Nellie (him being like "I fucking worship you and am completely incapable of getting anything done when you're not here because it's like my arm's been ripped off or some shit" is.... amazing) and completely capable of expressing that love, but she cannot accept it. And he knows this. But he has to try anyway because he's SO in love with her.

Something Fabulous by Alexis Hall has a great one where Valentine proposes to Bonny when he's like, hiding in a tree or something. And he's basically like "listen it's Victorian England and we're both men so it can't be legal but I want you to be whatever a husband is for me and this is VERY DIFFICULT FOR ME TO EXPRESS". It's adorable.

Enzo like... grovelprosing to Gia in Mafia Madman by Mila Finelli is so deranged. It's like, a quick kidnap (that's their love language), a "I can't breathe without you FORGIVE ME", a negotiation of what she needs out of the relationship (a huge ring, a long engagement, maybe a vasectomy from him because she's not sure if she wants kids, and freedom to have her career) and him being like "YES FINE WHATEVER" because he's realized he needs her like air, lol. My beloved garbage people.

The thing in A Kingdom of Dreams by Judith McNaught where it's really less a proposal and more Royce taking Jennifer to the priest and being like "marry us, neither of you have a choice and I don't wanna be here either". And then he calls her a bitch. I loved that.

There are like... three? Proposals in Sierra Simone's New Camelot trilogy (one of which is accepted) and then sort of like an on the spot private spiritual wedding ceremony with what I guess is a proposal right before? And I loved all of it. There's so much angst and so much intense longing in those books. So many times for my boy Embry to get proposed to and go "I'M NOT GOOD ENOUGH TBH".

OOOh I loooove the proposal in The Long Game by Rachel Reid. There's such a great buildup to it, and it's so romantic, and I also love that Ilya and Shane go from this big emotional sappy proposal to fucking on the floor immediately after. Good for Them.
