Nevermore Town Square AU!
That moment when the Morellada coffee shop au expands into its own completely different thing (feel free to send asks about it)
Ok so obviously you have Morella and Ada at a coffee shop, but they're also ✨coworkers✨
Across the street is Lenore's tattoo parlor
Next to Lenore's parlor is Annabel's flower shop
The flower shop is half flower shop and half bookstore
Prospero owns the bookstore half
On the other side of the block is Duke and Pluto's cat cafe and Berenice's music store
Eulalie works at both the cat cafe and music store
Does Montresor exist in this au? I don't know but if he does everyone hates him
Will cut ties from Montresor years before the au takes place and is now living happily on his peach farm
Ok so here's some of the plot I have in mind
Morella is constantly giving Ada little gifts and making extra pastries just for her
Morella already knows she likes Ada (have I figured out how she realized that yet? no), but Ada is pining over the bookstore dude from across the street (Prospero)
She doesn't get jealous, she just watches and even becomes Ada's wingwoman at one point
She just solemnly helps, until she realizes that Prospero doesn't like Ada back
She knows Ada will crash and burn, but doesn't know what to do
Ada is kinda heartbroken because she thinks Prospero likes Annabel
Yeah that's right, Morella likes Ada but thinks she's into Prospero, while Ada likes Prospero but thinks he's into Annabel
✨Nonexistent love square✨
Ada is dense to everything gay (Annabel and Lenore's flirting, Morella's little gifts)
One day Ada is sick and while Morella is closing up, Prospero walks over to her to chat
Prospero has noticed that Morella likes Ada, and decides to become her wingman
Also they become friends in that moment
But anyways
This is the second sapphic pairing that Prospero becomes the wingman for
(Gee I wonder who the other pairing is surely it can't be- yeah okay it's Annabel and Lenore)
Prospero has to watch both Morella and Annabel pine over their respective crushes
Lenore gave Annabel a tattoo of a red rose around her collarbone and Annabel is 0///0 the entire time because oh my god she's RIGHT THERE-
Annabel getting Lenore to tattoo a symbol of love right above her breast:
Duke: I know what you are
Lenore is dense to her and Annabel's feelings so she is just :D throughout the process while Annabel is having a full blown gay panic
At one point while they're on their little date hanging out they go into the music store
Berenice is completely aware of Annabel's crush and tries to set them up the entire time they're in there
They eventually leave the store, Annabel a flustered mess, and continue their date time together
Lenore realizes like two months later that it was a date and they enter the flirty stage
They end up getting matching tattoos later when they're already a thing for a couple months (they get the little heart with wings nevermore logo)
Berenice is also a wingwoman for Pluto and Eulalie
Duke is constantly questioning his friends taste in women
"Mon amie what the fuck-"
Except for Pluto, Duke is fine with Eulalie
He dislikes Ada and Annabel but in a friend way
So anyway, Prospero is wingmanning for Morella when Ada confesses
He rejects her, but talks to her and makes her realize her feelings for Morella
Now that Ada is aware of her feelings for Morella, she is a flustered mess the next day at work
And the next day
And the entire week
And the rest of the month
Prospero is suffering watching these disasters
Eventually Ada catches Morella one rainy morning while she's unlocking the doors to the shop early and confesses her feelings (in true Hallmark fashion)
They are unable to stop smiling at each other for the rest of the day
Here's the super messy relationship chart
