AN: Prelude to a WIP untitled mini story featuring a quick look into the life of the infamous Nancy Landgraab. I've had my nose buried in my computer screen this weekend working feverishly to get this out my system (affectionately of course). Pretty excited for what’s to come! I'll likely start this up sometime towards the end of Missing Moments, but knowing me, I'll probably work on them at the same time since they're stand alone stories. 😌
I will take the moment to list the trigger warnings for this story below the cut. Pretty heavy themes but I am expanding my writing and will always handle with care.
TW + Transcript Below
Trigger Warnings:
Homophobia / Religious Trauma / Death via Car Accident/ Drugs / Alcohol / Infidelity / Sex & Nudity
Source where I found Nancy’s parent’s name. Her brother, Nathan is an OC :
Landgraab Family Tree
Transcript:
Nancy Narrating: [I was always good at hiding]
[I’d hide from the maids, the cooks, the nannies. No one could ever find me]
[I could hide for hours, completely unseen, as if I were invisible, as if I had never been there to begin with.]
[Among the maids, the cooks, the nannies, and even my own parents, it was Nathan who would always come looking me. Nathan was the one person in the world who truly noticed me ]
Nathan: Oh, I wonder where little Nan is.
Nathan: [chuckles weakly] There you are. I’m glad I found you.
Nathan: I’m sorry you had to hear all that, Nan. I know you don’t understand...but- maybe things will be better for you than they are for me.
Nathan: I’ll come back for you one day, Nan. I promise. Just...please don’t hate me for leaving. I-I can’t stay here anymore. I’m so sick of fighting them. Sick of hiding. [sniffs]
Nancy: [whispers] Bye-bye.
Nathan: Goodbye, Nancy.
[If only I knew better. I would have begged him to stay]
Queenie: [choked sob]
Officer: We’re sorry, ma’am.
[I never really grew out of hiding ]
[A part of me hoped Nathan would come back and find me]
[What a childish thought]
Queenie: [on the phone] I don’t care what you have to do- fix it. I want this problem gone. All of it. [tsks] This child will be the death of me.
Queenie: [on the phone] She’ll stay until all the fuss is over. Rest assured, I will see to it before Chester becomes a laughing stock. [call ends]
Queenie: This is for your own good, Nancy. I’ve already lost a son, and I refuse to compromise the honor associated with our family name. When you marry a good man and raise his children, you’ll understand.
Vanessa: [snorts] Oh shit. Busted.
Vanessa: You’re not a narc, are you?
Nancy: Fuck no. Can I bum one?
Vanessa: Sure.
[After all those years, I thought I had forgotten-]
