5 Chapter of ‘The Choice! AU out now!!!!!

An Archive of Our Own, a project of the Organization for Transformative Works

Summary

~ ~

Dinner was…. Interesting to say the least.

They all are laughing, a joyful beautiful little thing. A peaceful little bubble where no is judged. No one is criticized. It’s just the feeling of utter freedom to be messy and chaotic. To be loved nevertheless.

Red never wants this to end.

Whoo! Sorry this took a minute guys! I had taken a break in between because I’d somewhat recently finished the last part to my ‘So this is Love? Cause Love ain’t it’ fanfic!

but here I am! Back with what I think might be the longest chapter? Maybe. I can’t tell. It felt short to me but it ended up being like eight thousand words. Guess my writings just improving!

Anywho, gotta get the besties @strugglingsapphic @somedudenamedanthony @mintylovesredsocks @eydelynblack @tigressartemis

Third and FINAL chapter OF “So this is love? Cause love ain’t it.” !!!!

Summary

~ ~

A sea of storm. A heart performs. A life crumples down.

Bridget’s life hadn’t truly began till that fateful night. No. That was just the start. A start of her journey.

Life after Merlin academy is anything but peaceful. Here lies the makings of a tyrant.

Here lies the soul of the Queen.

YO IM SORRY THIS TOOK SO FUCKING LONG. But holy crap am I proud of this one. I absolutely poured my heart and soul into this. While I did creat the Choice! Au, this fic specifically is like my baby. I’ve nurtured and cared for it. It took a lot out of me. But I love it anyway.

I really really really hope you enjoy! And please comment! It makes my day !

Snippet of Chapter 11 of OAPOD (Evil!Red AU) we all know the drill lmao

“Bridget!” Ella said, quickly standing up. Bridget placed the cupcake boxes on the fountain ledge and immediately pulled Ella into a tight hug.

“I’ve missed you so much,” Bridget murmured, her face buried in Ella’s neck. The hug lasted longer than Chloe would have expected, with neither one pulling away for a solid minute. Eventually, however, Ella pulled away from the hug. A wide, genuine smile was on her face as she grabbed both of Bridget’s hands in her own and held them in front of her.

“It’s great to see you again, Bridge,” Ella hummed.

Chloe felt her heart skip a beat - between the incredibly close hug and cute nickname it was clear that Chloe’s suspicions had been right. Not only were her and Red’s moms once friends, but they were incredibly close friends.

Ella’s smile quickly morphed into a frown, however, when she noticed Red and Chloe.

“Uh, who are these two, B?” Ella asked, her previously soft tone becoming more dry.

I have been busy recently omg. I've only got like 1k of the chapter written rn unfortunately so idk when it'll be out. But hopefully next week. The lead up to Halloween has just been very busy for me haha!

[mr-walkingrainbow]

Yall know I’m gonna go feral for the Bridgella in this chapter.

I WONDER IF ITS ANGSTY TOO? PLEASE TELL ME YOU MAKE BRIDGET SUFFER SOME MORE AS A TREAT ❤️

[mintylovesredsocks]

Bridgella nation rise 💪🙏 (they're everything)

Chapter 3 of ‘The Choice’ Au!

Summary ~ ~

She started to get worried as they walked down the corridor. She wasn’t exactly expecting to get this far and now she was going to somehow convince a doctor that she did in fact have a concussion. Which, to be fair, she hadn’t ever actually planned on doing. In her head she’d assumed she’d have been able to find out what had caused such a drastic change already. Would have gone back in the past and fixed everything before she even had to consider getting her lies fact checked. 

Or,

Red puts on the performance of a lifetime

Hey yall!!! I’m so sorry College has been a bitch! But I just???? Totally forgot to post this to my tumblr, but the third chapter of The Choice! Au has been out for like the last three days 😭. I know I know I’m sorry. Good news is I’ve been diving headfirst into the next chapter so chapter 4 shouldn’t take as long as chapter 3 did.

Of course gotta signal the besties @strugglingsapphic

Bridgella brainrot goes BRRRRRRRRRRR

[mintylovesredsocks]

Teaser for Chapter 10 (omg that's crazy) of OAPOD (Evil!Red AU)!!!

Bridget closed the trunk and threw it next to the one Red and Chloe had filled earlier. “I’ll have to pick out the rest of the stuff from my shelves, but you’re welcome to sit and watch!”

“Sounds good to me,” Red murmured, dropping back onto the bed.

Chloe rolled her eyes at her, and Bridget let out a giggle.

“You’re so funny, Red!” Bridget said with a wide grin. It made Red’s stomach turn a little - her mother had told her she was a lot of things before, but never funny.

“Lazy is probably a better word,” Chloe hummed with a teasing smile. She joined Red on the bed, sitting opposite her.

Red glared at Chloe and let out a huff. “Lazy? Have we been on the same journey?”

Chloe smiled and shrugged her off playfully.

Bridget let out another laugh. “You two are so cute!” Bridget said, glancing back at the two of them with a bright smile.

Red and Chloe immediately looked away from each other, pink painting both of their cheeks.

This fic is nearing 60k words which is kinda crazy but I'm loving it! This chapter should (hopefully) be out this week!!

Chapter 9 of OAPOD (Evil!Red AU) out now (finally) ‼️‼️

An Archive of Our Own, a project of the Organization for Transformative Works

Some very gay things happen. I take no responsibility (all responsibility).

[mintylovesredsocks]

Chapter 9 OAPOD teaser (again - as an apology for how long it's taking me to finish this chapter). To be extra nice, I've made it a special glassheart moment too 🥰🥰 you're welcome!

“I’ll get changed in the bathroom,” Bridget hummed as she walked towards the adjourning door. “I won’t be long!”

As Bridget slipped into the en-suite, Red and Chloe stared down at the pyjama sets.

“I’ll, uh, face that way,” Chloe said, pointing to one end of the room. Red nodded and turned the other way.

Trying to ignore the fact that Chloe was getting changed directly behind her, Red began to strip from her clothes. She started with her jacket, throwing it off to the side, then moved onto her top. Slowly, she unbuttoned her shirt, then folded it and placed it on the floor. Whilst she was bent down at the floor, however, she noticed a mirror in the corner of her eye. Her eyes widened as she saw Chloe’s reflection in it.

Her back was facing the mirror, but she no longer had a top on, meaning Red could see the smooth skin underneath. She didn’t understand why, but her heart was racing as she traced her eyes up and down Chloe’s figure through the mirror. She knew she should have stopped looking - something in her gut told her it was weird to look at someone for that long without them knowing - but something stronger in her chest wouldn’t let her look away. The strange squeezing feeling in her stomach reminded her of when she placed her hand on Chloe’s earlier, and that scared her.

Her racing thoughts were disrupted when Chloe’s head turned slightly. Chloe’s gaze met her own in the mirror, and Red quickly moved her hands to cover her chest. She watched silently, her chest moving up and down with her heavy breathing, as Chloe’s eyes widened too.

Chapter 9 of OAPOD (Evil!Red AU) sneak peak!! This is the first few sentences!!

“I’ve brought up some snacks!” Bridget said, unveiling a tray of goods. “That’s lovely, Bridget,” Chloe said, coughing awkwardly into her hand. She stood up from the bed and quickly walked over to her. “Thank you so much.” Red glanced at them from the bed, but was too overwhelmed to move. It wasn’t long before Chloe returned to her side with a sweet treat in her hands. “Are you sure we can trust this?” Red whispered to Chloe, eyeing the sweet treat suspiciously. Chloe shrugged. “I’m starving,” Chloe murmured. “I’ll take the risk.” Red watched with curosity as Chloe lifted the chocolate brownie to her mouth and took a slow bite of it. Red eyed Bridget, who was now standing in front of them with a tray full of baked goods in her hands. Red was surprised at the array of goods she’d never seen before. She remembered hearing murmurs about ‘sweet’, colourful treats from unsuspecting guards when she was younger, but her mother had strictly forbidden her from having any. This ‘Bridget’ seemed more than happy to share out sweet treats, however. The pink-hair girl was smiling brightly at Chloe as she ate the treat. “Mmm, this is delicious, Bridget!” Chloe hummed, chewing the treat as she spoke. Suddenly, her eyebrows raised and she let out a moan of delight. “Oh my gosh, is that…?” “Popping candy?” Bridget finished, grinning. She let out a little giggle and clapped her hands happily. “Yes! It’s a Wonderland tradition to put popping candy in sweet treats. It acts as an extra surprise!” “It’s amazing!” Chloe said, swallowing down her bite of brownie before immediately going in for another. “Did you make these?” Bridget nodded with a big smile. “Yes! I made them this morning!” “When did you find the time?” Red asked, raising a brow. “I thought you had princess duties to attend to?” Bridget laughed politely and shrugged. “I just… get up really early and do it in the morning!” Red thought about her mother and how, growing up, she would barely spend any time away from her duties as Queen. No matter how much Red begged, the Queen would prioritise her job over everything. Would this Bridget choose to spend time executing people over spending time with her daughter? Red would guess not.

I wish I had more of this chapter written but my life has been hectic recently omg. I'm about 2k words in so there won't be an update until at least next week. But, I think it'll be an interesting read for sure.

Chapter 10 is gonna be even better. I can't wait until I get to that!!

Also I haven't set a number of chapters on the fic yet bc I don't want to get ahead of myself or anything, but given the trajectory for the story I have in mind, it will be at least over 15 chapters. Probably more like 20 but I don't wanna jinx it so we'll see.

I'm also planning to have some 'sister' fics set in this universe but I probably won't start on those until this fic ends. Or at least near to it ending.

Anyway, that's just an update on where this fic is at for anyone interested!!
