Tw: Lady whump, minor whump (as in whumping of a child), touch starved a bit.
Candace watches as Phineas and Ferb mingle with the Firestorm girls...the other kids. She tenses, breathing deep as Isabella places a hand on Phineas' arm, then pulls him over to...Dr. Baljeet and Buford. Buford slaps Phineas on the back, and Candace grips her bo staff tighter, eyes narrowing.
Something brushes her elbow, and Candace whirls around, staff pointing at...
"Johnson?"
"Sorry, Candace. Didn't mean to scare you." Johnson, Jeremy says.
"I don't get scared." Candace denies, looking back at Phineas and Ferb. Ferb is holding hands with Isabella, and Buford and Baljeet each have one of Phineas' hands. "That's not safe." She murmurs.
"They're fine. They're safe." John...Jeremy says. She glares at him. "No, really. They're smart kids. The Firestorm girls are there. And no one wants to face your anger, they'll be fine." Jeremy holds his hand out. "Let's leave them to it."
Candace eyes his hand, then him, then looks back at her brothers, then back to John...Jeremy. She turns towards him, ignoring the hand. "Fine. What did you have in mind?"
"Oh. Uh. I didn't think I'd get this far." John...Jeremy says, rubbing the back of his neck. Candace raises an eyebrow. "How about a walk around the park?"
"Sure." Candace glances back one more time, before focusing on Jeremy. "Let's go."
Jeremy and Candace start to wander the park. Candace glances down as Johnson's hand twitches for the 3rd time. "Ok. What's going on?"
"Of course you noticed." John...Jeremy chuckles. "I want to hold your hand. But I don't want to scare you off, I know how you are about touch."
"How I am about touch?" Candace repeats. She stops, staring at John... Jeremy. "What do you mean."
"You don't let anyone close. You panicked when I touched your elbow earlier." Jeremy says.
Candace growls. She reached out, grabbing John..Jeremy's hand. "C'mon." She tugs him forward.
John... Jeremys' hand feels weird in hers. She's not sure if she's holding too tight or not tight enough. His hand feels warm in hers, and she wonders if hers is warm in his.
"This isn't working." John... Jeremy says, pulling her to a stop. "Candace, I don't want you to force yourself to do something you don't want to."
"I grabbed your hand!" Candace says.
"Yes, and your other hand is gripping your bo staff so tightly I'm surprised it's not breaking in half." Jeremy points. Candace looks at her hand, recognizing the tingling in her hand now. "I'll wait, Candace." He slips his hand out of hers.
Candace watches Jeremy leave. They had finished the walk, and she flexes her hand. She glances down as Phineas walks up.
"Candace, are you okay?"
"Fine. Why? What happened?" She looks Phineas over, glancing at Ferb. They don't look hurt, there's no obvious bleeding and they're not crying.
"Nothing! Dr. Baljeet was telling us about hugs, and how they help people relax! Did you hug Jeremy?" Phineas asks.
"No." Candace says. She studies Phineas, watching him bounce, and sighs. "Do you two want a hug?"
Ferb nods, running towards her, and Phineas smiles, wrapping his arms around her. Candace shifts a bit to accommodate Ferb, ignoring the shiver down her spine.

2D. ''Busting my brothers? I've spent every day of my life trying to protect my little brothers. I had to grow up pretty quick around here to make sure they didn't have to.''
Good Stinkelkrampen. ''Pillows magically appear to break my fall! It's true! I'm finally having good luck!''
Love that Candace is a very competent and dangerous fighter in every universe, no matter if she is in the system (Imperial Soldier in Star Wars) or against it (Leader of the Resistance in 2D)
i watch phineas and ferb every single day and today tales from the resistance came on and whole ass the silence of the lambs references catch me so off guard everytime. maybe it’s because silence of the lambs is one of my favorite movies (because as a transvestite, i also love to skin people) and i never expected my interest in silence of the lambs to crossover with goddamn phineas and ferb
for those of you who don’t know:
2d candace visiting 2d doofenshmirtz in prison directly mirroring clarice visiting hannibal in prison
she walks down the long hallway and it slowly pans to him in the clear cell at the end
2d doofenshmirtz has that iconic mask restraint that hannibal wears
i don’t know if anyone thinks this is as deranged as i think it is and i cannot believe phineas and ferb season 4 was not around when i was a young child and simultaneously weirdly super into silence of the lambs. anyways i know you tumblrinas like hannibal netflix or whatever so this is another reason why doofenshmirtz should be a sexy man i thinj
rotating it in my mind how candace is always driven by duty no matter what and in alternate versions of her we see, she's the most emotionally steady when she has responsibility. so canon, 1st dimension candace is the version of her with the least Unhealthy Candace Enrichment and spirals as a result. like NONE of the candaces are Doing Well but at least 2d candace and stormtrooper candace have something tangible to focus their anxiety on
