Diff anon here! How would u do midsommar!cattonquick?
AIGHT SO
There are multiple configurations, but I would go with:
Felix as Dani.
Eddie as Christian.
Vee and Farleigh filling in for Mark and Josh (we can have a fun doppelganger moment with Farleigh and Simon!)
Oliver as Pelle.
We need to fuck about with the dynamics a bit, because reasons, and we can use Eddie as a lil bit of a dynamic foil for that. Also, I am picturing him as being played by Johnny Flynn.
Tumblr media
So; it's the first summer back from Oxford.
Felix and Eddie are in a secret relationship. Eddie, however, is fucking around on Felix with everyone he can, even Venetia, with the excuse of "if I didn’t it would be weird" etc.
Felix finds out about Eddie sleeping with Vee at the start. He's fucking spiralling hard, he could deal with Annabel and India but his sister?
Eddie is more fun than Felix and is having a handjob on a haybale summer with Vee and Farleigh and Oliver. Ollie has kinda wriggled into the group via being in the same tutorial group as Farleigh, and Farleigh is hoping to get him to do some of his essays.
Vee etc don't know why Felix is being so weird. Oliver suggests that they head up North. Take a road trip to his hometown. They do all these weird old pagan things- someone probably makes a Wicker Man joke, Oliver chuckles.
They all head up North. Oliver and Felix are in the same car, and Oliver is very nice to Felix. Felix is trying not to act weird over Eddie, but Oliver seems to know that they're together and is very kind about it.
They head to Prescot, where they meet Paula and Jeff... And then start going somewhere else? Oliver explains that plenty of members of their community go out into the world, but they come back home every summer.
Deep, deep in the British countryside is a plague-era village. You can't get to it easily, you have to go down this hidden and heavily rutted road and it's probably in the Peak District or something so it's really hilly and rural and basically hidden by trees. They follow Paula and Jeff's car there.
They're welcomed by Oliver's big sisters and other members of the village. Oliver explains how it works, casually mentioning that same sex relationships are fine as "there are plenty of children to look after. Two uncles or two aunts isn't a problem. It just means two more people to love the children and help them grow up safe and protected."
Midsommaring commences!
