Kian: Uh-.. sorry, I think I have the wrong address.
Brynn: No, is right house.
Kian: Oh, do I know you..?
Brynn: Wait here.
[Brynn shut the door after herself, leaving a bewildered Kian to stand outside]
Kian: O-.. kay?
Brynn: There is an unpleasant surprise for you on the doorstep.
Wyatt: That creature-.. I’ll get the dustpan.
Brynn: Mouses do not ring doorbells.
…
Kian: Can I come in? It’s freezing…
Wyatt: It’s practically summer.
Ellis: Babababaaa!
Kian: Is that yours?
[Wyatt scoffed, retrieving Ellis from the immaculate floor]
Wyatt: What the hell possessed you-.. are you insane?! When did you get out?
Kian: Relax! I got out on probation a few years back but it was only for a year, I’ve been a free man for a while now… I even hired a few private investigators-.. it’s all water under the bridge, no one’s watching me.
[Wyatt somehow managed to scowl whilst dubiously raising a brow, surprised by his brother’s forethought]
Kian: Sadie thought it best to check beforehand, you know how thorough she is.
[Wyatt almost wanted to laugh, of course it wasn’t Kian’s idea]
Kian: So, who’s this?
Wyatt: Ellis.
Kian: I didn’t expect you to have a child-.. and another on the way?
Wyatt: People change.
[Kian hummed condescendingly, as though he wasn’t convinced]
Kian: And who’s the delightful woman that answered the door?
Wyatt: You don’t recognise her?
[Kian’s mouth upturned in a nonchalant shrug, not realising he was supposed to]
Wyatt: She used to be a model-.. I presumed you might have seen her on TV or something.
Kian: A model! Well, I suppose at least one of us landed on their fee-.. is that a cat?

Or, pt. 2: My tribute to the original show’s cast members that we’ve lost throughout the years.
Brynn: You want to talk about it?
Wyatt: Not really.
[Brynn shrugged, gently running her fingers through Wyatt’s hair-.. though it wasn’t quite as relaxing as usual]
Wyatt: Do you?
Brynn: You have changed, he has not-.. what else is to say?
Wyatt: Nothing, I suppose.
Brynn: Ellis will be a good big brother; we make sure of it.
[Wyatt hummed absently, his mind elsewhere]
Wyatt: I’m gonna bring him in here for now…
[Brynn nodded sleepily in agreement, rolling over as Wyatt left the room]
Now I know not nearly enough people are watching the new appletv Monarch: Legacy of Monsters. How do I know that you ask? I cannot find any fanfic about Lee Shaw anywhere, either young Wyatt Russell or older Kurt Russell. And that itself is a damn tragedy because I need that. Also the show is just good if you’ve enjoyed any of legendary’s monsterverse you’ll probably like it.
