THE GIRL WHO CRIED WOLF

the wind whistles softly outside the window, inside a young woman draws by the light of the moon and the small beside lamp illuminating her sketch book. now some may see what happened in beacon hills as a tragedy. in some ways it was, a girl lost everything that had been a constant in her life in a matter of weeks. however, alice lahey does not view it as a tragedy, she views it as a rebirth. no longer being the girl from the broken home has done wonders for her and it’s all because of a full moon . . . 18+ teen wolf original character as loved by nico (he/they) ! please read rules and bio prior to interacting for your sanity and mine ! you're not required to know everything right away, but some effort put in is always appreciated. i'll do the same for you/your muses!

"We could have used your help to win." It had been glaringly obvious that Alice was missing as soon as she had disappeared. Ryder had noticed her approaching Coach during one of the time outs but hadn't paid much attention to it at the time. A bit too distracted on the hectic state of being in the middle of a lacrosse game than anything else. Ryder was glad that he had been able to find Alice after the fact, at least, and that she hadn't actually disappeared. His eyebrows scrunched together as he fell into step beside her, shifting his gym bag higher onto his shoulder. "Is everything okay?"

"i'm sorry," alice would have liked to make it work, but she knew her limits and when she had to pull out. it wasn't safe to have her on the field and if scott was there he would have said the exact same thing. he would have made her pull out of the game. "i'm fine, i'm just really not feeling well. that's all." she stuffed her jersey into her bag, and pulled the strap onto her shoulders. she could feel it as the moon got closer to rising fully. she really ought to get out of here. she started walking faster towards the door, jaw set.

jack never could resist kisses from alice. as her fingers curled into the waist of his jeans, he finished clicking the first aid kit shut and slid it aside. his now unoccupied hands found her thighs, rising greedily to clutch at her hips. a pleased hum vibrated in the air between them before jack pressed another long kiss to alice's silken lips. 〝 you know, 〞he murmured, lips brushing hers as he spoke. 〝 as much as i love taking care of you, you've gotta be more careful. 〞

gently, he laid a small peck to the bandaid on her cheek. then the other cheek. then the tip of her nose, twice. 〝 i care about this pretty face too much. 〞

[frayededges-archived]

she was glad to have him. "i know, i know." alice shook her head softly. "i was being careful." she wasn't really, she'd just thought all her stuff was up there properly. on one hand, she didn't want to depend on someone else to put her stuff away, on the other hand being a dumbass meant that she got to have him here to clean up her messes. she had a lot of those. this one was taken care of and now they got to be in her second favorite position, as close as possible.

"i appreciate you." she rested her forehead on his, reaching one hand up to touch his face. they'd flipped these scripts a few times since they'd been together. "you got a pretty good face too. lot less dents in it right now too."

"Then Lydia said my hair looked cute..." and the blonde was getting flustered all over again thinking about it. Guy giving compliments? Easy enough. Girls giving her compliments? She was an absolute stuttering mess. Her hands came up to brush her hair from her face. "And I'm not sure if I responded your hair looks beautiful too. Or that I think she's beautiful. I don't think I can ever face Lydia ever again."

[frayededges-archived]

it made complete sense, and alice had to fight the urge to swat charlie's hand away from her hair. it did look good, but it wouldn't if she started touching it. then there was lydia. "well first of all, you absolutely can." lydia was forgiving like that. sure, she could be absolutely terrifying, but she wasn't going to respond badly to someone trying to compliment her back. "she makes people flustered on purpose, she's used to it." if she was interpreting what charlie said right, both outcomes were compliments towards lydia. she may have stuttered like crazy, but she hadn't insulted her. "besides, she is beautiful so there really isn't a way this went wrong for you.

[contradictivs]

"Yeah... Yeah!" The blonde found himself nodding along in agreement to everything that Alice was saying. While he was easy to get along with, he knew that it was easing people into your personality was the best approach. Ryder found himself laughing at the idea of Alice trying to up the ante at that point even if the same could be said about him. "Gotta keep them on their toes and stuff. It's what keeps stuff fun."

[frayededges-archived]

making him laugh like this was also part of the fun of upping the ante. she liked saying shit people wouldn't even think to expect. "it's like...personality edging." she hadn't reached the line of how much she could step it up yet, but she really appreciated it when people like ryder matched her energy. "how are you feeling? are you feeling edged?"

Kathryn Newton as Sammy in Abigail (2024)

[sadclownery]

gabe jogged to catch up with her, taking off his hat and raking a hand through his hair in mild annoyance. short, brown tufts stuck out in all different directions before he reached upward once again to smooth everything back into place.

“ listen, i don't know who you think you are, but we've got a curfew around here for this very reason, ” he shifted his path to cut her off, one hand outstretched to hopefully slow her retreat, “ it's for your own safety. ” even as he spoke, gabe could feel a familiar stirring in his stomach, muscles already beginning to ache.

[frayededges-archived]

it wasn't ideal, spending a full moon in a strange town, but alice was confident she had her shit together enough. it would be hell camped out in her car instead of spending time in the woods like she would if she were home, but she didn't know the situation here well enough to let herself be out. territorial regular wolves and territorial werewolves both weren't things she wanted to deal with right now.

she took a deep breath, closing her eyes for a moment and willing herself not to give in and snap. "well, i'm hungry and i wasn't really planning on staying overnight here, so i'm gonna go get some food and camp out in my car." alice crossed her arms over her chest, giving the sheriff a once over. "i'm not trying to cause problems here, but it's not my first time camping somewhere dangerous and i don't really have the budget for a hotel. i'll call a mechanic in the morning and be out of this place as soon as possible."

ANGST! because i like causing problems on purpose.

based on THIS post !

this isn’t canon to alice’s tvd/legacies verse it’s more like a secondary verse to that verse that now unfortunately lives in my head rent free. i literally just thrive off of chaos and pain for my muses. happy halloween, what’s scarier than traumatizing one muse? traumatizing two!

THE EDGE OF SEVENTEEN (2016)

[frayededges-archived]

@khozmoh sent those were good times we shared. i think about them a lot.

neither of them were particularly skilled in the art of sleeping. that meant, when they were in the same city they could often be found together when they couldn't sleep. when they weren't alice called, cosmo usually answered. while she was in college, her sleep schedule got even worse which cemented their late night calls as part of the routine. then, alice left school, and started playing with a band she'd been apart of in college full time. she had other people to spend her late nights with, but that didn't mean she didn't miss cosmo. calls with cosmo were home for her, and she'd been the one to stop calling. so, of course she'd invited him to a show in some dingy club in san francisco when they played there. they'd had a bigger turn out then expected, but in alice's mind she was playing just for him. it was an 'i'm sorry for getting too caught up in life to call, i hope you get why' show. she was still riding the adrenaline high when she pulled her friend from the crowd and into the bar area afterwards. "i do too. i really didn't mean to ghost you like that. i miss our talks a lot."

@implsvly sent ❛ yeah, i can make you an omelet. ❜

normally, she wouldn't accept eggs as a food. she usually smothered them in salt, pepper, chili flakes and hot sauce. she didn't exactly het to be picky when she'd fallen asleep on his couch after their work out session and hadn't woken up until slater wanting to be fed woke her up. by then it was early morning. she'd already accidentally stayed over, so she tried to go back to sleep, but that didn't last long. alice had wandered into the kitchen when travis was making himself breakfast, rubbing sleep out of her eyes. she appreciated that he was willing to make a second omelet for her despite the imposition. "thanks, travis," she smiled over at him from across the kitchen. "sorry for crashing on your couch, it was a long day yesterday."

that's where he might be considered lucky, and the weight of that feeling on his chest is a lot like guilt. his dad was never much of a dad, but he always had his mom. he still has his mom. scott can't imagine what his life would look like without her ; can't wrap his mind around that kind of loss, and it doesn't seem right that alice has to. all i do is make things worse. that isn't a small thing to sit with, even if it isn't true.

" — i don't believe that. and it doesn't sound like your mom would, either. " and there's a good chance that just saying it won't change anything, but he means it without pity. he means it. " and ... look, whatever your dad thought you were, or weren't — that's on him. none of it was your fault, okay? none of it. "

[frayededges-archived]

alice didn't know what her mom would think of her. she wanted to think she'd be proud that she made it to the other side, but god, did the other side keep throwing things at her too. she'd done shit she wasn't proud of, that her mom wouldn't be proud of her for, but at least she'd lived through them. so far.

"i do make things worse, it's just what i'm good at." whether or not her dad was right about anything else, he was right about that. she wasn't good when the going got tough and she was shitty at dealing with it. "i just- i don't wanna be a fuck up forever, and it's really nice that you don't think i am, but everyone else does." her teachers, most of the other people at school. it was all a hole she didn't know how to dig herself out of.

[frayededges-archived]

@moonyrising sent ❛ maybe i'm just not built for this. ❜

"no, no, remus," she reached up and cupped his face with one hand. with the other, she pulled him closer to her and intertwined their fingers. "listen to me, that's not true at all." she knew how easy it was to fall into that trap of thinking badly about yourself. she needed him to know that no matter what, she didn't ever think that way about him and no one they knew did. "you're more than built for this. you're a good person, a kind and smart person."

@ghostbloomed sent ❝ i’ll go with you, if you don’t want to be alone. ❞ / camden

she was perfectly capable of doing this by herself, but she didn't have to. she didn't have to do every big life milestone by herself anymore. her family had shattered and piece by piece she'd put it back together, some parts of the old one remained: camden, isaac and nicole, but the rest she'd fixed with new faces. it was nice to have people who cared enough to ask whether she wanted someone to come with her for something like going to get her first passport. "of course i want you to come with me. government people are scary." it'd be nice to have someone in the waiting room with her so she didn't psych herself out.

[frayededges-archived]

@contradictivs sent " where the hell did you go ? "

"you didn't need me. we won the game." alice had needed to take herself out of the game and she knew just how to do it. she'd told coach she was on her period and that it was bad. she'd started going into intense detail, but he'd told her just to go deal with it. he dodn't want to hear more. it wasn't her proudest moment, but she got off the field before she hurt anyone. she generally had control over the shift, but playing games and oncoming full moons didn't mix well. she'd had to get off the field. "don't worry about it."
