Faroeverse AU where everything happens pretty much normally, PI Faroe kills her partner Parker when gets possessed by this entity that soon decides wants to be called Jane Doe
Faroe always hesitates when talking about her father, she seems to have a bad history with him, although she never really elaborates, Jane assumes he is dead
She always hesitates when speaking her last name, at some point, inspired by Jane, she decides to go only by Faroe Saltzman
She often mentions a childhood friend and a sister that died before she was even born, she often mentions the fear of being alone, and how isolated she felt growing up
Faroe is also way more chill with the supernatural than Arthur, unlike him, she isn't an atheist at all, she's more of an agnostic, but still despises religion and cults just like og Arthur
She spares the widow and is very sympathetic of the wrath in the house (s1), she doesn't feel scared by the ghostly presence at all
And then we get to season 3
She asks Yellow to describe the cabin, and goes stone silent.
"I know where we are. We need to get out of here now."
People at the red right hand aren't hostile to her at all, she learns about the scientist car and doesn't hesitate on looking for it
Yellow tries to press her for more information, all she gets is silence
Faroe doesn't get attacked by the thing in the mines, she in fact slips very ungracefully and hits her head
She wakes up in the Larson manor to the sound of someone pacing around in her room,
"You woke up!" Says a worried voice "I am going to call mister Larson"
He leaves, and Yellow keeps pressing.
"Do you know these people?! What the fuck is happening, Faroe?!"
Mr. Larson arrives and Yellow describes both men as looking anxiously at her.
"So you're back, my dear" says Larson.
"Faroe, who are these people?!" Demands Yellow.
"The tall one," Faroe says through gritted teeth "is my biological father, Arthur Lester." Referring to the man previously pacing around in the room.
"And the other one" she complements, fillied with rage "Is the child-killer monster who raised me."
Ha! I tricked you! This was @cypresswood3 Secretary Arthur AU all along!
20 year old Arthur leaves to work for Larson without knowing Bella is pregnant, once she dies and Daniel dies as well (for plot convenience), he takes responsibility of the kid and raises her within the Larson manor as well. In this AU in specific (not my idea btw) Arthur ends up getting the surname Larson as well bc cypress really like platonic Larthur or something so I just rolled with it, so
Faroe ends up growing up thinking Larson is her father while Arthur is some sort of cousin or something
She also has an imaginary friend, a girl around 6/7 years old who seems to know all the good places in the manor and even shows her the secret passages, entrances to hidden rooms and the best places for hide and seek, but she always hides away when a grown up is around
Her name is Addison, Arthur thinks it's adorable her imaginary friend has the name of the city, Larson is shitting his pants.
As the years go by Faroe expexts to stop seeing her imaginary friend, or that at least her friend will grow up with her. None of those happen, of course, in fact Addison is the one that stops recognizing Faroe, she doesn't disappear when Faroe's around, but doesn't seem to realize "her friend Faroe" she talks about so much is right in front of her.
Faroe ends up doing some genealogy work for the Larson family and finds... Inconsistencies. Yes, Wallace Larson is her great-grandfather, but which one of his children is Andrew Larson's father? There's only dead ends, all his children died at a young age. She ends up doing an investigation of her own, leading her to the order of the fallen star, where by piecing rumour after rumour she finds out the truth and everything just... Clicks.
Why her friend knew so much, why she never grew up, why she was so scared of Larson. But even more, the rushed conversations between Larson and Arthur, the visitors she'd only see come in, but never out, the books she was never allowed to touch, the "business trips" she was never given information on. It all made sense.
To learn the people she loved and idolized where... Monsters. Liars.
So she ran away, took the Lester surname, met Parker, started as a secretary until he saw her detective potential, it has been less than a week since her name was put on the door. Lester and Yang private investigators. And then she opened that damned book.
Anyway that's it that's my silly au yayayayay
