three dark crowns highschool au
because i have feelings about this but don’t actually want to write a fic. here we go
so i guess everyone has been adopted
Katharine by the wealthy Arron family
Arsinoe by the Milone family
Mirabella by...the Westbrooks? They’re her canonical guardian family but I feel like Luca is her mom...
Luca can be the lovely lady next door who adores Mira, THERE WE GO
Katharine Arron is one of those girls who should be popular but she’s shy and prefers books over people.
everyone knows who she is, they just leave her alone. she’s like the most famous nerd
but not cuz she’s bullied. paradoxical.
teachers love Kat. other than that...ehhh...she’s kinda lonely i think.
Arsinoe Milone is one of the troublemakers.
again, everyone knows who she is, except this time it’s because of what she does.
she, jules, and joseph are thick as thieves. teachers do not want all three of them in their class at the same time. huge no-no
lowkey a rebel but like...cares somewhat for school
Mirabella Westbrook...is a TRANSFER. (dun dun dun)
she and her adopted sister Bree join the school
they befriend a girl named Elizabeth
Mirabella is beautiful, duh. she becomes popular. very popular.
rest is under a cut. oh boy
so we have the queens...now what about everyone else??
Jules Milone is the second troublemaker
(starting with her cuz she’s really important, duh. also she’s cool)
is the Voice of ReasonTM
always being like “arsinoe no”
Arsinoe responds with “arsinoe YES”
poor Jules...she just wants to not risk getting arrested
crushing hard on that one guy, joseph
ahhh yes, joseph.
the third troublemaker
how obvious is it that i lowkey hate him
ANYWAYS, back to the au and the thoughts
crushing hard on Jules, like really hard.
and then Mirabella transfers and he’s like ‘oh shit she’s HOT’
cue the heart eyes.
*whispering* (he’s gonna be a bit trashier in this au i think)
Billy Chatsworth
okay so umm i want kat to have friends, and they got along pretty decently in Three Dark Crowns, so..
Kat has exactly one (1) friend, and it’s this guy
Billy has plenty more friends because he’s a Great GuyTM
*breaking the fourth wall again: how do you put tm high up and small*
so anyways...that’s Billy. he’s not popular, not hated. he’s taking higher level classes, so he’s pretty well-known among that crowd but otherwise he’s not too well-known
Pietyr Renard
...another transfer, i think
sees Kat and goes ‘she needs help’
he’s like instantly popular and when he sees Kat, he decides to show what a Nice GuyTM he is and help her get more popular
yes, it’s cliche, I KNOW, but like he literally canonically does that soooooo
talks to her and then realizes that she’s actually really cute?? if not socially awkward and kinda frail??
I'm sorry but kat and pietyr are really fucking cute and I'm still pissed he shoved her into the breccia domain because BOY YOU SHOULD’VE FUCKING USED YOUR GODDAMN HEAD WHY CAN’T YA’LL BE HAPPY GODDAMNIT
Elizabeth
Mira sits next to her on her first day and is all “hi” and Elizabeth is instantly kinda star-struck like wow this beautiful girl is talking to me
...i don’t think she’s very popular tbh
also Elizabeth is gay and you can pry that head canon from my cold dead hands thanks
she helps run the gay student alliance because she’s a fricken hero
so basically Mirabella and Bree instantly befriend her
wow besties!!!
but seriously they’re kind of inseparable
just kind of
poly ship poly ship poly ship...????????
something to consider...
okay so now for like actual plot lmfao
so basically everyone ends up with one class together.
the teacher is like ‘good lord i get arsinoe jules and joseph for an entire year! what is life!’
the teacher friends are like ‘oh darn’
who the fuck is the teacher, you ask? well...it’s Rho.
shhhh shhh its an au also Rho as a teacher would be pretty awesome
so anyways, first day of school comes around
i feel like it’s their senior year
BTW BTW Arsinoe Jules and Joseph miss Luke, who was in the year above them. he graduated duh
Luke is amazing but i don’t think he’s gonna be a big part of this AU
sorry Luke :(
they’re all put in Rho’s class, which is history
(Kat is a little miffed because she should be in a higher level BUT she got deathly ill and didn’t get the grade required to make it)
look I feel like Kat would throw herself into her studies
anyways...so Pietyr sees Kat and is like ‘well she’s pretty’
and he sits next to her
she’s also sitting in the front of the room and he respects that
so yeah he plops down next to her
Kat ignores him
kat i love you
Mirabella and Bree sit near the back of the class. the middle-back
Elizabeth prefers sitting in that area so she just awkwardly sits down next to them
Mira: ‘hi i’m Mira, this is Bree, we just transferred here, you’re really pretty, what’s your name?’
Elizabeth: ‘...Elizabeth...hi...’
Bree: ‘hi!!!’
Billy comes in and sits behind Kat. says hi to her, kat says hi back, they chat just a little
Jules Arsinoe and Joseph come in together, just as the bell rings, and sit in the last row
there’s other people in this class i’m sure
they aren’t important
So anyways they end up with group projects
look i’m a fucking cliche all on my own
so the groups: Billy & Arsinoe & Elizabeth, Joseph & Mira & Jules, Kat & Bree & Pietyr
well Joseph and Mira get along really well
Arsinoe is like ‘hmm Jules how come I think I see sexual-’
Jules: ARSINOE please stop
Arsinoe: right right sorry Jules
Bree is like ‘for one thing Pietyr and Kat are really hot and I’d totally date both of them except I’m like 90% sure they’re already dating
Kat denies it
Pietyr just shrugs
Bree just wants to not be a third wheel
Meanwhile, Elizabeth, Billy, and Arsinoe get along really well.
like, really well
Elizabeth says ‘yeah i kinda feel like a third wheel but they both make a conscious effort to include me you know’
ANYWHO they’re all getting along pretty well
so like homecoming is coming up!!
because I'm american and i don't know what else goes on in foreign countries
and i could research but homecoming is. kinda fun
fun fact: i HATE dances
stop breaking the fourth wall!!!!
so Elizabeth and Bree are like “ooh Mira do you wanna go with Joseph?” *insert lenny face here*
Mira is like “guys. stop i don’t want to go with Joseph stOP MAKING THAT FACE-”
Elizabeth: oh look it’s Joseph!
Mira: *whips head around* WHAT-very funny Elizabeth
Meanwhile, Arsinoe is subtly trying to drop hints to Joseph that Jules wants to go with him
she’s TERRIBLE at being subtle
Joseph is a dense fuck, so he still can’t pick up on the hints
Jules finally breaks and is like “Joseph go to homecoming with me”
Joseph is like “sure”
BUT then Mira is like “man i wish i had a date for homecoming”
Joseph: well i was going with Jules, but maybe i can save a dance for you
*scrunches up face* mmmmm joseph no
Mira is disappointed but like. says sure, tells Joseph that he shouldn’t abandon Jules tho
LOOK mira just wants to be loved, she’s not a bad guy
anyways. so Kat is having a crisis because she really wants to go with Pietyr
But Pietyr’s...enemy Nicholas beats Pietyr to asking Kat
and Kat is like oh dear someone is asking ME to homecoming
read: she panics
and agrees
so then she mentions it to Pietyr
OH NO PIETYR IS LIKE, PISSED.
he’s like ummm okay kat do whatever you want
read: he’s upset
boys are dumb
look Pietyr shoved her into the Breccia Domain there’s no way he’s, well. rational when he’s worked up. or rational when dealing with Kat.
Kat is disappointed and thinks Pietyr doesn’t like her anymore
so she chats with Billy about it
Billy is like ummm I'm not really sure tbh
then Kat’s like, oh well, do you wanna go with anyone?
Billy is like “...Arsinoe”
Kat helps him ask
oh no but Arsinoe is a strong fierce independent woman she needs no man
THAT WAS NOT SARCASM BTW I SWEAR
she says no
Arsinoe bows for no one
rip billy
Billy’s like oh okay. i meant as friends but it’s chill
he’s sad
very sad aww poor billy
Arsinoe doesn’t regret anything though. of course not.
soon HC rolls around
Bree is like “Elizabeth are you going with anyone?”
Elizabeth: nope i’m gay
Bree: oh...uhh...okay...
Mira: cool cool thanks for trusting us, so wanna get ready together?
they’re great at getting ready together. they laugh and have fun and just. all in all a great time.
Arsinoe tries to do Jules’ makeup.
emphasis on tries
no seriously major RIP to Jules’ face. Jules ends up doing her own make up. her blush has been ruined. one of her eyeshadows is cracked. Jules is impressed with Arsinoe’s inability to do makeup. she ends up doing Arsinoe’s as well.
Arsinoe put up with it. it made Jules happy.
Kat gets Natalia to do her makeup. and her hair. Natalia secretly enjoys every minute of it.
the boys also get ready. but separately. so yeah...
Nicholas picks Kat up like the gentleman he is
Billy goes alone, aww poor baby
Joseph ends up taking both Jules and Arsinoe
Pietyr almost doesn’t go but Kat asks if she’ll see him there, so. boy fucking launches himself to the bathroom to get changed and shit. he speeds to the school
he’s got it bad
Arsinoe and Billy end up ditching the dance. they leave like 30 minutes in and go to some dinky little diner together.
basically they just laugh and ride around town until like 1:30 am and they realize that it’s late
Nicholas monopolizes the fuck out of Kat.
Kat doesn’t realize it.
She has a lot of fun
Pietyr goes home pissed
Kat doesn’t really think about him
if Billy had seen he would’ve been like “Kat Nicholas was like...glaring daggers at anyone who came close to you”
Joseph is cornered by Mira when Jules is in the bathroom.
they dance
and then dance again
Jules ends up coming back and smiling at Mira tightly and being like “hey can I dance with Joseph now”
Bree and Elizabeth just enjoy themselves
the night ends.
Arsinoe and Billy are riding around on Arsinoe’s motorcycle. they’re going to a park
Kat and Nicholas seem to be okay...
Pietyr is pissed to hell and back
Bree and Elizabeth are happy
Mira wishes she could’ve danced with Joseph more
Jules is kinda salty about Joseph
Joseph doesn’t know what to think
AND THIS HAS GOTTEN TOO LONG, I’M NOT MAKING ANYMORE...on this post. there might be more later. (there will definitely be more, i have some fic ideas now and more plans to run through). HAPPY THREE DARK CROWNS DAY EVERYONE.
