@choicesmonthlychallenge ~Sibling Appreciation: The Waverley Siblings

@choicesdecemberchallenge Day 24: Eve

December 24th (contd.)

Suddenly it felt as if the world was spinning very, very rapidly around them. They felt dizzy, nauseous. Just when bearing everything was becoming too much, a chilly air went past them.

They slowly opened their eyes. And the sight in front of them had them holding their breath without their knowledge.

A huge medieval mansion, covered in snow, appeared before them. It was majestic, beautiful and warm.

They looked around. As far as the eye could see, No other house was visible.

Is this the place they were supposed to reach? Or did something go wrong?

Pooja and Alex looked around in utter awe. Both due to the mansion and the wonder if they had been teleported to 19th century London.

"There you are!" A deep, humble, feminine voice called out.

Turning around they saw a young girl either approaching 20 or in her very early 20s coming out from the mansion towards them. She wore a medieval red gown, the upper half of which was covered by a shawl, and only the lower half with minute patterns of red silk was visible.

Not knowing what else to do, Pooja and Alex, too started walking through the snow towards her.

After a few minutes, they stood face to face. The girl had a small, faint smile, but her eyes expressed the happiness she felt on meeting her visitors.

She bowed slightly.

"I am Eleanor Waverley."

"You both must be Pooja and Alexandra!"

Confused, both of them bowed similarly as Eleanor had. Confirming her words, Pooja spoke, "Yes! I am Pooja, and she" She pointed towards Alex, " is Alexandra."

"Great! Oh! I haven't even invited you in. Please follow me."

"This is our house, The Braidwood Manor."

Eleanor added as she opened the brown panelled glass door and led them in.

The interiors of the Manor gave a majestic vibe. A huge golden chandelier with 7 ornate lamps hung down from the high ceiling. The floor had decorated tiles of various shades of orange and brown.

On entering, Pooja and Alex were mesmerized with the beautiful inside. It also provided them with the warmth which they were craving since the time they teleported to the Victorian Era of Britain.

When the two were taking in all the details, Eleanor's voice jolted them out of their thoughts.

"From the time Mrs Ainsworth informed us that some guests were going to join us for Christmas, we were excited. Especially my sister and my little brother." A smile lightened up her face as Eleanor gazed gratefully at her guests.

"I thank you from the bottom of my heart for joining us this year. I promise you will not regret anything about all this. We rarely have visitors on Christmas. Your presence is like a light in our dark, solitary winter nights. Thank you, thank you very much!"

A little tear slipped down her eye as the smile remained still on her face, signifying her happiness.

Pooja stepped forward.

"Eleanor, It is not you but us who should be thankful. Thank you for letting us celebrate this Christmas with you. Maybe, finally, my best friend—" She pointed towards Alex "—will warm up to the idea of holidays. We are very excited for the celebrations"

She finished with a smile as Alex joined her. Alex's face, too, bore a smile, but it didn't quite crinkle the corners of her eye. It was a pleasantry.

"We are excited too! Let me introduce you to my famil- Oh!" Eleanor abruptly stopped. "I nearly forgot! Let me first show you your rooms. And-"

She seemed awkward, as if searching for words. She looked down at their dresses.

And Alex, understanding what she was trying to signify, relieved her from her awkwardness.

"Eleanor, I guess it has something to do with our dresses, right?"

Not knowing what to say, She nodded her head slightly.

Pooja said, "Ohh Yes! Eleanor, please help us with them?"

Eleanor was relieved for not having to say it herself. She was pleased with their intuition and understanding nature.

"Please follow me. I will provide you with everything."

She led the two of them up the Grand stairs to their rooms. As the two slowly took in their surroundings, Eleanor came and provided them both with a beautiful Victorian gown. Pooja's was teal and white, while Alex's was hunter green and Congo red.

Once ready and all decked up, Eleanor took them for introductions.

The three of them entered the dining area of the Manor, and slowly the big family of three young children and their parents came into view, seated on the dining table, behind which, the wall bore an intricately decorated mural and a magnificent fireplace along with some painting of the family.

The sound of the footsteps caused five heads to turn their way, each accompanied by a gentle smile and warmth in their eyes. Each, except one. The boy's face did turn towards them, but it remained hostile and indifferent.

"Seems like he doesn't prefer our company"

"Mmm-hmm. It's okay, We are just here for a day"

Pooja and Alex went up to the friendly members who had now got up from their chairs and stood to welcome them.

Eleanor, went to the elder lady, and spoke to her, "Mum, they are our guests for Christmas." She went up to Pooja. "This is Pooja" and then to Alex "and this is Alexandra"

Her mother stepped forward and the two girls bowed like they had seen Eleanor do when she met them. She was pleased and warmly welcomed them.

"Ahh! So happy to have two golden girls joining us. I am Rose Waverley." She kindly gestured them to get seated at the table along with everyone else.

Once everyone settled down, Eleanor finished up the rest of the introductions. Her father William Waverley, her sister Clarissa Waverley and her two brothers, Thomas and Simon.

After chatting a bit more, they finally delved into the Celebration plans.

"My dears, we haven't started putting the decorations yet, because I very strongly believe that decorations are a very essential part of igniting the holiday spirit." Mrs. Waverley informed.

Alex nearly scoffed at the 'Holiday Spirit' but realizing the circumstances they were in, she stopped herself.

Holiday spirit, ugh! Why Poo Why?

But Pooja was genuinely excited. She always wanted to visit a Victorian house and celebrate Holidays the Victorian way.

And all this? It felt like a dream come true.

She excitedly said, "Very True, Mrs. Waverley! And please don't worry! We will help in every way we can."

"Great then! We can start working then. Ellie, and our guests can put up the decorations, while Clarissa helps me in the kitchen. Thomas can put up everyone's stockings, and two more for our guests, at the fireplace, while Simon and Dad finish the book they were reading."

Everyone happily nodded and went on to carry out their assigned jobs.

Pooja, Alex and Eleanor, headed towards the Parlour. It was grand.

Two huge bay windows brought in the faint light of the exteriors. By one of the window, an elegant piano sat peacefully and on the other side was a large, comfortable couch, perfect for family seating.

And just beside the couch, was a beautiful, delicately manicured, fir tree stood as the symbolism of the Festivals.

Pooja and Alex were so immersed in viewing everything that they didn't notice that Eleanor was not there with them. They realized the same when she came with a huge box in her hand.

"Here are the decorations that are to be placed"

She set down the box that she was carrying. It was filled to the rim with glass ornaments, crackers, lights, red paper strips and various other decors of tin and leather.

"But I am really confused about which pieces to put up and which to skip out?"

Eleanor sighed, staring at the plethora of ornaments.

Pooja nudged Alex, "Don't worry! When Alexandra Walton is here, nothing can go wrong!"

What in the world? Poo has lost her mind. Oh, No!! Now what?

"Uh... Huh. Ya, I mean, sure. I will help."

"Help, Lex? Nah. You will lead, we will follow."

Eleanor let out a gentle chortle as Pooja continued to tease Alex. She was in awe of both of their friendships.

Suddenly she remembered that soon, very soon, they will take their leave.

She sighed as she thought. Even though they had come in her life for an hour or so at most, it felt like they knew each other since forever.

"Eleanor?" She was brought back to the Braidwood Manor by the sublimely worried voice of Pooja. She looked at them to see both the girls looking at her with a concerned look.

"Eleanor? Is everything alright? If there is any trouble troubling you, you can share it. We will help any way we can!" Pooja and Alex assured.

"No! No worries, as such. Just..." A pause. "I have never had anyone like both of you in my life. Although my family is loving, and I will forever be grateful for them, but... I have, never had friends like you both are."

"Oh, Ellie!" Pooja calling her by her nickname caught her off guard for a moment, but she soon got her grip and smiled at her. "You are our friend. Good friend,"

"Great friend" Alex inserted.

"No matter, we are here tomorrow or not, you will always be our friend,"

"Always?" Eleanor sought for a confirmation.

"Always." The two assured while placing a hand on Ellie's shoulder. Their hearts were full of the feelings of a freshly sprouted planting of friendship.

"Oh-kay! So let's start creating a masterpiece out of this tree, shall we?" Pooja shot an excited look towards her friends.

"Yaa, Happy Holidays." Alex groaned and rolled her eyes.

"Alexandra, you won't regret it! Let's get going!"

"If you say so." Alex gave her a tiny smile. She was not the one to turn down a good friend.

"And, it's Alex" she added as the three went up to look through the ornament.

Time passed, like a gushing stream flowing down a rocky hill, as the three meticulously put each glass ornament, each cracker and the fairy lights, one by one, with extreme care and perfection.

Pooja was hyped, Eleanor excited, and Alex, very strangely, was Happy.

Was it because of the company, or had she finally begun to enjoy holidays? That will forever remain a mystery.

But will it be so bad to see Alexandra Walton opening up to the idea of festivals? Not a mince!

An unknown number of hours later, they were finally done. They stepped back to admire their handiwork.

And didn't it reflect their hard work!

Each delicately placed ornament, each strand of fairy light, each funfilled cracker made the tree look heavenly.

Their placements complemented each other and their collaboration was splendid.

If they weren't friends made for each other, who were?

As Pooja, Alex and Ellie stood admiring the bejewelled fir, a soft aroma filled the room. It was then they realized, how hungry they had been! As soon as the thoughts crossed their mind, Clarissa came into the parlour. The power of telepathy!

"The food had been served! Mom invited you all to the dining room." She almost left when her eyes fell on the tree.

"Woooow! This is so pretty! Mom and Dad will be so happy."

She went to where Pooja and Alex stood.

"Thank you soo much for this. I have never seen our tree looking soo beautiful! You two are angels."

The little girl's happiness reflected in her eyes.

Alex lightly placed her hand on her shoulder. "We enjoyed decorating it too! But you should thank your sister first. Without her, this wouldn't have been able to do it so perfectly."

Clarissa went to her sister and gave her a big hug. "You know you're the best Eleanor. You're the best big sister."

Eleanor shed a tear as she hugged her little sister back. "You are precious too, Clarissa! You, Thomas, Simon, you all are!"

After staying in the hug for a bit longer, Clarissa escorted them to the dining room. As soon as they entered, the delicious aroma of several lavish and extravagant delicacies overpowered their senses. Their mouths watered.

At the table, they say a perfectly roasted stuffed turkey sat at the centre. Mashed potatoes, gravy and vegetables were placed in sparkly silver. There was cranberry sauce. Oysters, Yorkshire Pudding and tender Chicken looked delightful.

"Please take a seat my dears" Mrs Waverley urged as she placed two decorative plates in front of them along with all the additional pieces of cutlery.

"This is a traditional English Christmas Feast. Enjoy yourselves!" She said as she whole-heartedly served her guests.

After they finished the huge servings of the main course, dessert was served. A beautifully made Christmas pudding and a piece of fruitcake.

If not before, Alex had definitely melted by now. As she finished the last crumb of the delicacies served, she thought to herself, "Maybe Holidays aren't so bad. Food, Friends, Happiness. I don't think I could ask for more."

What a growth!

After the dinner, as Pooja went to see the Christmas tree one last time, she heard a soft melody touching her ears, which came from the Parlour. As Pooja went in, she saw the silhouette of a boy playing the Grand Piano. As she went in, she realized that it was Thomas.

Without disturbing him, she stood a little closer. Thomas must have realized that someone was there. He abruptly turned back.

"What are you doing here?"

"I remembered a tune that I learnt some while ago. Is it okay if I play?" Pooja enquired.

"Fine. Go On."

Thomas remained Stoic, but he was definitely intrigued.

Pooja slowly took a seat at the piano. She played the gentle notes of a Parlour music tune she had picked up from Alekhya. Thomas closed his head as he lightly swayed his head with the soft tune.

Once finished, He looked up to Pooja at awe.

"Where did he you learn that from? That was melodious!"

Not answering his question, Pooja offered, "Do want to learn it?"

Thomas let out an excited Yes. And the duo spent the rest of the evening teaching each other tunes and talking a bit here & there.

All this while Alex went to Simon. The little boy was so excited to see her. Mr Waverley left him with her as he went to have a stroll.

Simon sat on her lap and Alex, told him colourful stories, of fairies, of dragons and even of the future. Her storytelling won his heart and his demands for One More! never diminished.

At last, as he fell in a sweet slumber, the long evening of stories ended.

A little while later, Pooja came searching her. She told her about her evening with Thomas and Alex softly told about how she spent her evening with Little Simon.

As they chatted, they did not take notice of Mr Waverley coming back in the room. When he slowly called for Simon, that's when they got aware of his presence.

As Alex handed Simon back to him and the two took their leave, Mr Waverley stopped them. They turned to see the man having a smile of gratitude on his lightly wrinkled face.

"I can not thank the both of you enough for coming here today. Our Christmas, Holidays have always been just the family. My kids always wanted to have someone over for the occasion, but living in a solitary area like this didn't make it easy for people to come over. Having you here, I can undoubtedly say that this was the Best Christmas Eve we have ever had!"

At his words, both Pooja and Alex had tiny droplets at the corner of their eyes. They thanked him and chatted with him for a little while before finally retiring for the night.

December 25th

The Christmas morning began when Eleanor came waking the two sleepyheads and asking them to come and see the gifts they had received.

They got dressed and as they entered the Parlour, were greeted with excited squeals and heartfelt laughter, that rubbed away any reminiscences of sleep that remained.

They saw the family opening their gifts and the floor all covered with handkerchiefs, pieces of jewellery, board games books, mufflers, embroidered suspenders and even larger articles like a theatrophone and a dishwasher.

Pooja and Alex too got sweets, nuts, little handmade trinkets, jewellery, reading books, watch case and scarves.

The unique article that Pooja got was a vintage board game while for Alex it was an Indian work humidor.

Both of them also received a box of home-made cookies each. Everything was too precious for them, the bonding that they had formed with this happy family was all they needed for a great time.

A lot of talks, food and smiles later, all of them dressed up for the Church.

However, Pooja and Alex realized they didn't have much time left. They asked Eleanor about the time.

It was still early. Perhaps they would be able to listen to the carols before they had to take their leave.

"Ellie, I don't think we will be able to stay for longer. We will get to hear the carols but, we don't much time left."

"Can't you stay here with us?" Eleanor said as sadness spread over her features.

"We are sorry Eleanor, but there are some circumstances not in our hand. When time comes, one has to bid Adieu! But the feeling is definitely mutual." Alex softly replied.

Their heart broke at the thought that they would never be able to see each other again. But what is the use of denying the inevitable.

Eleanor was one determined girl. She wouldn't let them miss the carols!

"You came this time, you will come again. You know the right person who can bring you back. Promise me, Promise me you will come back!" Eleanor requested.

Then it dawned upon them. If the lady brought them here once, she could bring them back again!

Happily, they promised, "Promise."

And with that, the three hurried down to join the family on their way to the Church.

Carol singers and musicians played and sang the five melodious and popular carols of the era. Beginning their performance with O Come all ye Faithful, and the symphony continued with Once in Royal David’s City, moving on to See Amid the Winters Snow, O Little Town of Bethlehem.

At last came the majestic music of Away in a Manger.

Each of the performance was a musical gem, and if they could, they would have recorded each of the pieces and take them with them.

But just as the ending notes of the Carol began playing, Pooja and Alex, started feeling slightly light-headed.

Their time, here, was coming to an end.

Quietly whispering their hurried goodbyes, they picked the bag of their gifts.

As they went last notes of the Carols faded, they faded from the 19th century with the pieces of love they had garnered from the Era of Victoria.

Only one thought crossed their mind as their senses finally gave out.

This was a Christmas well spent.

PS: Lots of hearty thank yous to you for reading💖! I hope you have a great day ahead💖, and wishing you a Very Merry Christmas is Advance🎄!

Good Friends and Hope

The Haunting of Braidwood Manor/ friendship

Summary: After the events of her weekend at Braidwood Hannah thinks about her view on life.

Authors Note: For the Choices March Challenge day 25 Religion. I’m trying to make this as neutral as possible since I know that this topic can cause some controversy. Was tempted to skip but was like this is a great book and I wanted to write something with it even though I didn’t pay any diamonds. Day 24 is coming out tomorrow since it’s D&D themed and I wanted to see if the chapter would inspire me or not.

Tag list: @mariamulroney @queen-among-writers @flyawayboo @fluffy-cat-whisper @countrymusicandncis-blog @am-i-invisible777 @darley1101 @symonde @paisleylovergirl @elainew13 @itsbrindleybinch

Hannah Sinclaire glanced out the window as she let out a sign as Braidwood Manor grew smaller. Next to her Victor glanced at her before keeping his eyes on the road. The radio turned off and the snow coming down lighter then usual. Her thought far away to the family that she had just met Clarissa, Thomas, Simon, and Eleanor. She let out a sigh again as it was all just too much.

“Hannah,” said Victor as he pulled over at the nearest McDermont’s. “Let’s stop and rest for a minute and talk.”

She nodded mutely still unsure what to even say. They had seen a ghost, a real ghost, and there were four of them. Braidwood Manor far behind him at this point. Hartfeld just the next exit up. The pair went inside ordering their goodies a little bit of everything they liked off the menu. At least this greasy fried food and a milkshake made things better.

“How are you feeling?” asked Victor as Hannah took in a breath.

“A bit better now, shaken but better. It feels good not to have the weight of Jonathon’s secret off my shoulders and that he’s moved on. Eleanor and her family have moved on too. They’re at peace and with their families. Eleanor and her siblings are probably reunited with their dad and Jonathon has my grandparents.”

“I have a feeling that there is a but coming,” said Victor gently as he took a fry.

“I just hope that where they are is a good place. I’m not sure what I’m going to say to my parents and his friends or if they’ll even believe me. Or if they’ll hate me for keeping it a secret or…”

“There’s too many what ifs.” He said simply as Hannah took a bite of her burger. “If you want you can practice with me when you’re ready.”

Hannah grinned softly as she liked that idea. It was good to have a friend that understood.

“What do you think? I mean I know things like religion never really come up and it’s a hard topic and all. Do you think that they’re all together now? Who am I kidding that was a stupid question.” And controversial as she didn’t know where he stood on anything like that. Hannah realized that she might have offended him as she let the subject drop. Instead she took a drink of her chocolate shake. “Let’s just talk about class or something else.”

She took a chicken nugget as Victor reached over and took her hand. He raised a brow at her a grin on his face.

“I think that they’re together and happy. As your friend I want us to be able to talk about anything Hannah.” He finished off his burger as she finished her own wrap. Then nodded happy to have someone that she could talk to. Then looked out up at the sky hoping that they would be okay wherever they were.

They finished off their pile of fries before moving on to the nuggets still remaining.

“If anything, this experience did help me decide something,” said Hannah finishing her shake. “My major. I’m going to do history as my undergrad. It’ll help me understand the past so I can make a better future. Then I want to go back and get my master’s in psychology. I want to see how people’s minds work and be able to help them. Maybe I could prevent what happened with Jonathon from happening again.”

Victor nodded finishing his own shake. “That’s a great idea Hannah, you’d be perfect for the job.”

“Now you need one. I was thinking anthropology and the wonderful world of kinship charts.”

He laughed as Hannah threw a fry at him before catching it himself. She could hope that everyone was exactly where they need to be. They had a future to look forward to.

Eternal

CH1: (Part 2)

"Very well then" she stood up, dusted her dress and grabbed the tray. "Come with me then"

I stared at her surprised, "Where are we going?

"To give you a grand tour of course, you are staying here am I mistaken?" she said from the doorway. She paused and considered me for a moment. Her eyes scanned me from head to toe and shook her head. "You probably need to change to something else"

"What's wrong with my clothes?"

"No, nothing. It's very pretty just anachronistic, they'd be curious. I have a dress, I think we're almost about the same size"

She sighed again and placed the tray on a nearby chair. She approached the closet just beside the bed and picked out a wonderful purple dress.

"You think I'm pretty?" I sheepishly smiled at her. Eleanor was taken aback, a blush spreading quickly on her cheeks and reddening her ears.

"I said your clothes are pretty-"

"So... you don't think I'm pretty?" I pushed her further. I could see her grow brightly pink. She huffed and turned away.

"I didn't say that! It's just been ages since-"

"Since what? Since you've-"

Eleanor's lips tugged into a smile and you watched, Eleanor is really beautiful. I watched her tuck a stray hair behind her reddened ears. "Never mind, it's not important. Hannah, if you must know... unlike me... my siblings doesn't know that they are- dead. Will you promise me not to tell them?" she said softly, brushing a hand against the soft fabric of the cloth she held.

I felt Eleanor's sincerity from her words. It pang my heart to hear that she's keeping this burden to herself. Her face turned from melancholic to a soft smile. "I think this would look perfect on you, Hannah"

I took the dress from her and kept an eye on her as she walked to the other side of the room. "I'll turn around so you could get dressed."

Clenching the clothes in my hand. What are you hiding Eleanor? I thought to myself.

I slowly unzipped my pants and pulled my shirt over my head. I placed them folded on the bed. I watched Eleanor from the corner of her eyes. She was staring at the door and then to the side, her arms tightly crossed over her chest.

"How long have you been like this with them?" I said. Putting my right arm inside the dress and then next my left and slowly pulling it down until it cascaded just down my ankle.

"Time seems to have stopped in the manor. I've lost track of it..."

I hummed in understanding. I went back to fixing my dress and stopped as soon as I realized that the zipper got caught.

"Eleanor?"

"Yes, Hannah?" she softly replied, yet I could observe that her body tensed.

"Could you help me, I think the zipper got stuck" I chuckled. Trying to lighten the mood. She approached me and mumbled for me to turn around. I could feel her fingers tracing the lining and embroidery of the dress, it felt weird yet I think I liked it. She slowly closed the dress up but without grazing her fingers on my back. I shivered at the sensation.

"There" she said. I turned around to face her. I could see her eyes glistening with excitement.

"How do I look?" shyly I asked. A crimson blush spread through my cheeks.

"You look beautiful, Hannah" Eleanor quickly turned, flustered. "L-let's head down to the parlor." With that I followed her to meet the other Waverly siblings. I walked with her, pacing her strides but before we reached the parlor, she stopped and turned to me.

"Do you still remember our talk?" she asked.

"I know, Eleanor. But may I ask why you haven't told them any of this yet?"

She looked at me in shock and then in distress "How could I possibly?" she said rather furiously at me. I took a step back hands raised in front of me as if I was trying to calm her down. She stopped and regarded me. Her expression softened as she turned to look away.

"I'm sorry, I shouldn't be crossed with you. But the truth is, I don't know how I could tell them. They're only children, they wouldn't understand... I don't want them to be burdened by it. Sometimes ignorance is... bliss. I look at them every day, see their smiles in their faces... How... I don't want to see them in despair" she inhaled deeply and exhaled, her hand rested at the parlor door handle. "You can stay, for as long as you need to. But, Hannah... I beg you, please spare them the pain. Don't talk about the world beyond these walls and where you came from..."

Sighing, I agreed. "How?"

"We need some story to fit you in..." She bit her thumb thinking. After a few seconds her eyes lit up. "I know! You're their new governess!"

"Governess?"

"Have you any experience in teaching and such?" she looked at me, clearly worried.

"I have... babysat in high school but I don't think-"

"Perfect! It won't be difficult, you'll see. Simon is the youngest and I think he'll be the only one who needs watching. Clarissa and Thomas on the other hand are fifteen and thirteen respectively. They're old enough to look after themselves."

"Alright"

"Are you ready?"

"Ready as I will ever be..." Eleanor spared me a glance before opening the doors to the parlor.

Choices Sibling Appreciation Week(ish)

Not quite a week, but who's counting?

Last year I hosted a Sibling Appreciation Month(ish), with over a month of sibling pairs specific to days. While it was a lot of fun, it felt tedious and tiresome by the end. I don't think we need something so structured. So this is much shorter but more open.

Sibling Appreciation takes place December 23-26, 2021.

Event extension: From December 26 through 31: previously published content will be accepted as will late entries of new content.

Please tag @choicesmonthlychallenge . You may also tag my personal blog (@lovealexhunt) or message me your content here if you're worried about the tag going through.

Additional rules, guidelines, and sibling ideas are below the cut.

Rules + Guidelines

Schedule December 23-26: New content only December 26-31: late new content + previously published content

Any and all siblings from Choices books are welcomed including original character siblings. (This can be siblings of your MCs or siblings you gave other Choices characters... I know this was requested last year and I hope those people are still interested!)

The siblings should be the focus of the work. MC / OC / LI are all welcomed but shouldn't pull focus from the siblings featured.

Every form of work can be submitted: fanfiction, drabbles, moodboards, edits, drawings, poems, songs, sketches, and more—all are welcomed.

You don't have to participate in all 4 days. You can participate as much or as little as you want. You can submit multiple things each day if you would like.

You may combine sibling appreciation with any other prompts from other challenges. (December Challenge, WackyDrabbles, OPH challenges, etc)

Since siblings are the focus, no NSFW content should be submitted.

I will reblog all content submitted and make a masterlist at the end of the event.

Late submissions will be accepted through December 31, 2021

Possible Siblings

This list does not contain all Choices siblings and does not include siblings from any books debuting this year. This is the list of siblings included in last year's event.

REPOST: THOBM MC x Eleanor fic.

A/N: Trigger warnings for mentions of suicide and death.

Eleanor Waverley is in your history class. When you first saw her, you thought she was beautiful in a classically pretty kind of way but you didn’t have a clue who she was until your best friend, Victor, leaned over and whispered in your ear about absent fathers, insane mothers, and a huge mansion with no one to live in it.

After that, you find yourself noticing more and more about her. She sits in the back of the room, carefully writing her notes in a leather bound journal and pen while everyone else types away on their laptops. She’s already there, waiting, before any of the other students arrive but she always leaves early, whether it’s five or fifteen minutes with a frown and a phone raised to her ear. When she exits the room, you watch her long brown braid thump against her back as she walks. You don’t know what it is about her but she’s different in a way that extends past her tragic backstory. She looks like anybody else if everybody else were just as attractive but there’s something in the way she carries herself. Like she’s seen things that she can never repeat to anyone.

You think about talking to her but for some reason, you don’t think she’d appreciate the effort. You’ve never seen her talk to anyone. Some have tried, of course, because people are drawn to broken things but she always responds with a tight-lipped smile until they give up and go away. You’re no stranger, yourself, to broken things. You can still remember the day like it was yesterday- your brother, Jonathan, on the cold steel table, his eyes glazed over lifelessly, an angry purple ring circling the skin of his neck.

The second time you see her is at the cemetery. You’re there to lay down a fresh bouquet of flowers for your brother when you see her with a group of children, looking like she’d rather be anywhere else. Her dark attentive eyes are staring at a spot in the distance while the children around her sit between two gravestones and talk quietly.

The third time you see her, you think the universe must be playing some kind of trick on you. It’s your first day on the job at Ultra-Mart and your first delivery is to… Braidwood Manor.

Walking up the stone path to the mansion, you feel a chill run through that you can’t attribute to the weather. You reach the front entrance and use the heavy door knocker to announce your arrival. It stutters against the sturdiness of the door with three thuds that sound loud to you in the eerie silence. After a moment, the door swings open and a young boy with a round face and wide eyes stares up at you.

“Oh!” you say. “Um, hello.”

“Hi,” he says, smiling up at you. “I’m Simon. How do you do?”

He offers you a small chubby hand to shake. Balancing the delivery box on your hip, you reach down to take it. “I’m doing well. Thank you, Simon.”

He eyes the box you’re holding eagerly. “Is that for me?” he asks. He jumps up and down a little with excitement.

“I don’t know,” you respond with an amused smile. “Did you order something?”

“My old magnifying glass broke while I was looking at an opherophtera brumata so Eleanor said she would get me another one,” he explains.

“An opera what now?” you ask bewilderedly.

He laughs at you. “An opherophtera brumata,” he repeats, more slowly so that you can catch the words. “It’s just a big word for winter moth.”

“Wow,” you say, impressed. “Do you want to study bugs when you grow up?”

“Insects,” he corrects. “And yes, I want to be an entomologist!”

“I bet you’ll be a great one too,” you tell him, getting a beaming smile in response.

Just then, Eleanor sweeps down the grand staircase and into the foyer. She gives you a calculating look that deeply unsettles you when she sees you the two of you talking. Before you can give it too much thought, she turns to the young boy, her features shifting into a more relaxed expression as she lightly chides, “Simon, I thought I told you never to answer the door without me.”

He looks down bashfully. “Sorry, Eleanor. I thought it might be my new magnifying glass.”

Eleanor approaches you and takes the box from you. “I’m afraid it’s only a new gown for Clarissa’s winter formal next week. But I’m sure your package will be coming soon. Now why don’t you say goodbye to the nice delivery girl and get back to the dining room?”

“Aw,” Simon whines, “but we were having fun talking.”

“Simon…”

“I really don’t mind,” you cut in with what you hope is a friendly reassuring smile. “He’s a great conversationalist.”

“Oh…” Eleanor seems to consider you for a moment before deciding that you’re being genuine. She opens the door a little wider. “In that case, would you like to join us for some tea?”

“Um,” you bite your lip as you look back at your truck full of other deliveries you have to make. “I should probably go…”

At that, Simon’s face falls into a frown and even Eleanor looks a little disappointed. You quickly amend your statement, “But I’d love to have some tea before I go back out into the cold. If it’s not too much trouble.”

Eleanor smiles. “None at all,” she says, gesturing for you to come in. “We’d be happy to have you.”

You hesitate a moment, glancing back at the wintry scene behind you, before you take a deep breath and step into Braidwood Manor.

Eleanor and Simon lead you through the foyer into an elegant parlor where two teenagers, a boy and a girl, sit waiting, taking small sips from equally small tea cups. “Who is she?” says the boy with a distrusting glare.

“A friend,” Eleanor responds, giving him a stern look as if to say, “Behave.” He sticks his chin up and huffs but doesn’t choose to acknowledge your presence otherwise.

“Please forgive Thomas for his manners,” the girl- Clarissa, you assume, says. “It’s just been ages since we’ve had a visitor.”

Eleanor sits down, places the box on the floor by her feet, and then hoists Simon up and onto her lap. She pats the spot on the sofa next to her. “Please,” she says, “sit.”

Slightly awkwardly, you obey as she reaches around Simon in order to pour fresh cups of tea for the five of you. “Thank you,” you say as she hands you a cup. “It’s been a long time since I’ve had a tea party.”

“Oh, Eleanor makes sure we have them at least once a week together as a family,” Clarissa says.

“That’s nice. My brother and I used to do something similar and get coffee from the coffeeshop on campus every Friday morning.”

Simon blinks up at you. “Why did you stop?” he asks innocently.

You swallow harshly and take a big gulp of tea to soothe your suddenly thick throat. “Um, he passed away last year.”

“Oh,” Simon says, ducking his head. “I’m sorry.”

Clarissa and Thomas echo the sentiment while Eleanor just gives you a strange smile, half-sad and half-knowing. One of her arms is wrapped around Simon’s midsection but her free hand settles besides yours on the sofa, not quite touching but close enough to make you notice.

“Um,” you shake your head and turn back towards the children. “It’s OK. But I wish he was still here. I’m glad that you guys still make time for each other.”

“Well, we’re all we have left,” Eleanor says, looking at you intently. You wonder if she’s trying to tell you something, if she’s ever talked to anyone besides her family the way she’s talking to you right now.

You finish up your tea and set your cup down on the table before standing up. “Thank you for having me,” you say, “but I really think I should get going now. The boss wouldn’t be happy if he knew I was taking advantage of a client’s hospitality.”

Simon slides off Eleanor’s lap and lightly pulls at the hem of your shirt. “Will you be back?” he asks.

You smile down at him. “Of course. I’ve got to get you your new magnifying glass, right?”

He grins at you boyishly before clambering back onto the sofa. Eleanor gets up and straightens out the imperceptible wrinkles in her clothes. “Let me walk you out.”

At the front entrance, she opens the door for you. Before you exit, you turn to her uncertainly, not sure what to say to make the moment last. Finally, you settle on thanking her again for the tea.

“Thank you again for the delivery,” she responds.

“OK,” you say. “I guess I should go now.”

“Goodbye.” Just before she closes the door, you hear her faint voice saying, “I’ll see you in history class.”

You’re halfway down the stone path before you realize… you didn’t once mention that you shared history class together. Getting into your truck with a wide smile playing on your lips, you take one look back at the mansion and see a figure watching you from one of the windows. You lift a hand to wave at her as you pull out of the driveway and away from Braidwood Manor.

“Sometimes, In Order To Win, You’ve Got To Risk Everything”

Hi there! Ya’ll can call me ‘Floryn’. Flor for short. I’m a young, impulsive yet inspired amateur writer who mostly gets her ideas from her hour long shower. I’ve been writing fics and ideas for as long as I can remember,

First things first, this is a side blog, I can’t reply to comments on this account.

I’m bi. Usually go by she/her but I’m also comfortable with they/them. Since it’s quarantine season, I had a shit ton of series and movies + anime I’ve watched and it’s fueling me to write cringey ass fan-fiction.

I only write female characters x fem/gn! reader and maybe some wlw ships.

Please indicate what you'd like to request; fic, drabble, or headcanons.

So without further-ado, Here are the fandoms that I’m currently into and it willing to write for:

RULES

Please indicate what you'd like to request; fic, drabble, or headcanons.

No smut. I’m not comfortable writing it, and frankly, I’m not good at it either

Be polite and don’t be an asshole, this is a safe place for people who just need their fanfiction fix

I have the right to deny requests when I don’t want to write them, Sorry.

Keep in mind that I am still studying, therefore that will take up majority of my time, I’ll have to ask you to please be patient with me, know that I will write on my free time and my free time alone.

I won’t write about issues like pedophilia and incest and other stuff related or similar to those.

I don’t write for male!readers I don’t know how to be a man, I’m so sorry-

Another thing, if you want to be added to the taglist, please tell me what character/ fandom you want me to add you in. (All fics, Criminal Minds fics, Wanda Maximoff x Reader fics etc.) and shoot me an ask, or a dm <3

Fantasy or mystery or sci-fi

Favorite probably TCATF, really felt like a plot. Least favorite probably Baby Bump

Bloodbound: What has been your favorite “collections” (portrait pieces, the Freshman memory box, evidence, etc.) that books have done over the years?

I don't really do them because I don't have the diamonds, but the Endless Summer ones were cool and I at least watched people's replays

The Crown and the Flame

A Courtesan of Rome: Do you play your MCs as yourself or as a character?

A character

Desire and Decorum: Have you ever had a hard time choosing between LIs? Who were they and why?

Dom and Raydan because Dom was best for Kenna and the plot but Raydan was my favorite

The Elementalists: Out of the powers the MCs have had in books, which is your favorite?

Maybe Endless Summer MC's

Endless Summer: What book have you replayed the most?

TCATF and Endless Summer, each 2 good plays and one fail play

Home for the Holidays: Is there a book you haven’t played yet? If so, why?

It Lives: Do you prefer one-offs, anthologies or series?

It Lives, Across the Void, BOLAS, Distant Shores, Elementalists, The Heist Monaco, Mother of the Year could all use another book

The original one that was realistic and painted-looking. Some of the newer ones look too fake like dolls

Passport to Romance: What’s your least favorite book and why?

Sunkissed, Baby Bump, and Witness are probably tied for that position. Boring plots

There have been some twists I didn't see coming but I can't remember off the top of my head

Platinum: What book did you spend the most diamonds on? The least?

Endless Summer. I thought it was gonna just be a cartoony romance but it was so much better

Anything where they paywall the actual plot. Also in MOTY I kind of wished that we could actually see her having a fresh start instead of the whole book being about the custody battle

Sometimes I like multiple characters

Sunkissed: What’s your favorite Choices book and why?

TCATF or Endless Summer

Veil of Secrets: What is a choice you’ve regretted making in the books? Why did you regret it?

I can't remember. Most of the time if I really regret it I go back and replay it

Wishful Thinking: What kind of representation would you like to see PB address in future books?

More male MCs, also more MCs that already know what they're doing

Choices Fandom Challenge

Welcome! We constructed especially for you, a Choices: Stories You Play writing challenge. It will take place from 7th of April until 21st of April, and will contain 14 prompts. Some would contain one or two prompts by choice.

You can tag your works as #csypwritersmob or @csyp-writers-mob on tumblr, csyp_writers_mob collection on ao3.

We will be happy to have you!

List of prompts:

Bad Habits

Theories OR Domestic

Broken OR You’re out of this world

Crossover outside the fandom

AfterLife

Fathers and Sons OR Under Arrest

10 Year Later

The Best Heroes Make The Greatest Villains OR Reverse AU

Crossover inside the fandom

Memento Mori

Light! Camera! Action! OR Soulmate AU

Unusual/Weird Ships

Free Space

Indescribable

The prompts also contain notes about it. You can just skim through it if you’ve got the general idea, but it’s also very helpful if you’re stuck!

1) Bad Habits

Could be of any genre, from Angst to Fluff. Maybe it’s someone annoyed by somebody’s habits or someone remembering whom they have lost to the same habits

2) Theories OR Domestic

As the prompt suggests, theories or domestic fanfictions. It could be an alternative ending, or a guess about the ongoing book’s ending. Or a little canon scene instead.

3.1) Broken

Pure Angst, could be a Hurt/Comfort.

Also could be a side story (for example, how MC in MotY struggles with raising a child, worries about her, etc. Or how MC or what their Love Interest in ES feels after MC’s death).

3.2) “You’re out of this world”

Genres expected: Romance, Fluff, Angst, Hurt/Comfort.

Suggested books: Bloodbound, Endless Summer, The Hero, Nightbound, Across the Void, The Elementalists, The Haunting of Braidwood Manor, Perfect Match and It Lives Anthology.

Of course we do not restrict authors in this, it can be any story if it fits the theme.

4) Crossover outside the fandom

Crossover with other fandoms (Avengers, Forgotten Realms, folk tales or BTS). Books and genres are chosen by you. Go wild.

5) AfterLife

Post-Canon. Meant as a story after the big adventure, how the characters live after the chase/monsters’ attacks/flying into space. Or, what happened after the Happy End? Preferred lean into Angst territory. (No classmates’ reunion, or something like that. Don’t worry, though! There will be a separate prompt for that.)

6.1) Fathers and Sons

As the prompt suggests, it’s a conflict between parents and their children. It could be MC that had their kids, or on the other side of the coin it could be MC as a child/teen/of a canon age interacting with their parents.

6.2) Under Arrest

Works about police and/or detectives.

7) Ten Years Later

Post-Canon again.

Mainly, it’s a story about characters’ lives after the book’s events (much like AfterLife, but with the promised fluff). It could be highschool(High School Story), university(The Freshman Series) or military buddies reunion. Main genre: Everyday Life.

8) Reverse AU

We have books where MC and/or their friends are presented as brave and mighty heroes, but what if they get broken down? Or even tempted?

Suggested books: The Elementalists, The Hero, The Royal Masquerade, Bloodbound, Nightbound, Across the Void, The Crown & The Flame, It Lives Anthology, Desire and Decorum, Veil of Secrets, Ride or Die, Perfect Match.

9) Crossover inside the fandom

A crossover between PixelBerry’s Choices: Stories You Play books. It could be a setting switch or characters from one book meeting other characters from other books. But! It’s strictly inside the fandom.

10) Memento Mori

“Remember That You Are Mortal”

Preferred genre is Angst and/or Hurt/Comfort. It could be the death of a background character, Love Interest’s or the MC’s themselves. How the others took another’s death? In short, everyone is dead and you’re sad.

11.1) Light! Camera! Action!

Let it be light after the darkness. Suggested genres: Comedy, EveryDay Life. The plot can be anything you wish it to be, but the main idea is that the characters are presented as a cast of film/series based on their book story. The Freshman can be a TV romcom series with a billion episodes. Veil of Secrets could be a TV detective series that got one season and cut off abruptly. It could also be presented as interviews with actors as MC, Love Interests and background characters.

11.2) Soulmate AU

Star-crossed lovers, the ones tied by Fate’s hands, whatever you call them, they’re still soulmates. They could hate each other, fall in love at the first sight, build up a happy and healthy relationship, or just stay or become friends, the choice is yours.

12) Unusual/Weird Pairings

You’re not pleased with the Love Interests presented in the book? Or did you want to romance that background character, but never got a chance? Or maybe you wanted different background relationships? You could rewrite your story today, right now! Absolutely free choice of pairings, from the suspected Kane/MC to unexpected Gaius/Lily. The weirder the better. NO JUDGEMENT ZONE.

13) Free Day

Anything you want to write, absolutely anything. No restrictions, no recommendations, no suggestions.

14) Indescribable
