sokeefitz au where keefe is a magician, fitz is his assistant (who also learned how to sword swallow just to occasionally upstage keefe at his show's because he's petty but doesn't know how to pull a quarter from someone's ear), and sophie is marella's newest friend that's getting dragged to one of keefe's magic shows and holy wow ok marella was not kidding about the magician and his assistant being hot. cue keefe pulling roses out of his sleeve for sophie midshow because he knows a cutie when he sees one (after getting a subtle okay from fitz, who is his boyfriend but most people only know about the childhood friends part). and fitz getting to know her after the curtains close and asking her if she wants to hang out sometime. and keefe crashing that meetup when it happens halfway through because he can't help himself and knows fitz won't mind.
and them becoming friends that hang out a lot outside of shows, and sophie being keefe's most reliable regular. that DEFINITELY aren't flirting, marella, c'mon, fitz leaving out scarves for her to steal at their apartment she now frequents more than her own and learning her favorite treats to bake for her and keefe constantly throwing his arm around her and complimenting her w/ ten million winks is strictly platonic in this context

The Foxes As Dumbass Shit I’ve Pulled
Allison: Accidentally pepper-sprayed herself on two separate occasions within the same week.
Aaron: Quadruple-booked himself, ended up canceling two things, sleeping through one, and lying to get out of the other.
Neil: Was so pissed at a coworker he got distracted whilst driving, ran a red light, clipped the headlight off one car, the taillight off another, and rammed directly into the electrical pole in front of a taco bell at two in the morning.
Matt: Wore open-toed shoes on campus, stepped on a wasp, and got stung for the fifth time in as many months. Spent the rest of the day being a giant baby about it.
Renee: Broke a condom by trying to pull it over a mic-pack (plenty of theaters use them to keep sweat off of the equipment), turned, looked her high school stage manager directly in the eye and said, “Well, it’s a good thing I’m a lesbian.”
Andrew: Did better on his test than the person sitting next to him, who then proceeded to say, “Damn, must feel good to have gotten an eighty,” to which Andrew replied, “You wouldn’t know.”
Nicky: Deliberately antagonized his homophobic grandmother by showing her Brooklyn 99.
Dan: Forced to sit in her broken-down car on the side of the road whilst her high school ex-girlfriend, now best friend/roommate, absolutely annihilated a whole rotisserie chicken in the passenger seat with her bare hands.
Kevin: Broke up with someone, high-fived them immediately afterward.

Wait im sorry clari im confused!!! So is reader just giving step enji attention to try and get touya niis attention and make him jealous?
sort of, yeah!!! here, i’m just going to quote my notes from when i was writing that piece to give u a little more insight into everything going on there:
⊹ touya knows this is disrespect; she’s acting out to hurt him, and even though he KNOWS this, it doesn’t make it hurt any less, even though he ends up giving her what she ultimately wants. it’s a little tangled and convoluted—touya’s pretty sure she does this just to piss him off, to provoke him and get a rise/reaction out of him, to gain his attention in any way, good or bad it doesn’t matter which. just ATTENTION in general. but there are genuine feelings to her love for their father, too, and there are genuine feelings on ENJI’s part, too, which pisses touya off even more because hello, this is HIS little sister. and it’s these genuine feelings from both reader and enji toward each other that leaves the tiniest sliver of truth to what she says and what she does, and that’s what ultimately hurts him the most.
⊹ so, in other words: he’s angry because she’s doing this purely to disrespect him, and even tho he knows this he still can’t stop the hurt (an automatic, instinctual reaction he’ll never be able to soothe or stop); and he’s upset because there’s a shard of truth in it all and that’s rly what hurts the most. but knowing that his little sister will stoop this low to hurt him is painful as well—tho he supposes she learned from the best. he’d do the same, he’s such a hypocrite. still, obv he deserves more respect duh
⊹ the obvious context of the fic is that she just likes running into enji’s arms and greeting him and it makes the rest of the family uncomfortable because it doesn’t exactly look or feel entirely innocent (this i want to SHOW through their interaction, tho). but the SUBTEXT is that she does this to piss touya off, because enji is really her only weapon against her eldest brother, but he’s also a foolproof weapon—he never fails to hurt touya, no matter what, and he always gets you what you ultimately want; attention from touya. (this should be hinted at in her comment about touya fuckin around with everyone)!
^^ these are my rough notes verbatim! their conversation after enji leaves is particularly important, because it shows where they’re both hurting; she mentions how touya sleeps around and he mentions how she’s all over daddy. reader boldly calling attention to exactly why touya is upset (with the jealousy bit), calling him out on his bullshit and explicitly hitting him exactly where it hurts, is the final nail in the coffin to her getting exactly what she wants (his attention!!). also, this piece obv is not set within my established touya-nii au. this is a different touya-nii entirely!
