The Six Baudelaires Coming Out to Their Parents
A little ficlet inspired by the Six Baudelaire AU by @unfortunate-stranger-losers (anyone unfamiliar with her AMAZING fic, Lilac=Movie!Violet, Violet=Netflix!Violet, Nick=Movie!Klaus, Klaus=Netflix!Klaus, Solitude=Movie!Sunny, and Sunny=Netflix!Sunny)
I don’t usually post fic, so please enjoy my attempt!
What if Misery Loves Company part 1 included the 6 Baudelaires?
THIS IS A SPECIAL WHAT IF POST:
Today, I was asked by @totallyhumanperson123 ‘How would Lilac, Nick and Solitude fit into Misery Loves Company?’
And after asking @unfortunate-stranger-losers if I could use the three extra Baudelaires to make this post I have thought extensively. (I may do this for each part if @/unfortunate-strangers-losers is okay with it).
PLEASE NOTE: THESE ARE MY INTERPRETATIONS OF SOMEONE ELSE’S CHARACTERS AND HOW I WOULD WRITE THEM IF I HAD INCLUDED THEM IN MY FIC. ALSO, NOTE THAT IF YOU HAVE NOT READ THE ENTIRETY TO MISERY LOVES COMPANY PART 1 THIS WILL CONTAIN SPOILERS.
So first let’s discuss Lemony and Beatrice:
Lemony would have two daughters: Lilac Emily and Violet Malina. The difference between this is: The timeline would have been Bea and Bert were on the island when Bea was pregnant with Lilac. When they come back to the city, they meet up with Lemony and get back into their polyamorous relationship resulting in Violet.
Beatrice and Bertrand realize that living life on the run alongside Lemony and two kids is no way for the girls to live. So they break up with Lemony. Leaving Lemony alone.
But they’re still very involved with VFD so they ask Lemony if he can watch over Lilac and Violet, with the same letter, same meeting place, same expectation.
Life on the run gets in the way so Lilac and Violet end up in Lemony’s ‘custody’ like Violet does in MLC.
With Beatrice and Bertrand:
Their first children are twin boys (around two years after Violet’s birth). Nick Liam and Klaus Louis. Nick is thirteen minutes older than Klaus. (Klaus eventually gets taller than Nick obviously). At this point in time, they are devastated that they lost their two daughters and Lemony, so they try to defect from VFD with little to no success (so they settle for barely participating in it because they blame VFD for them losing their daughters and their would-be husband.)
Years later they have Solitude Theodora much to both boys disappointment (but mainly Klaus’ because Nick teases him about being the middle child).
By the time Sunny is born, Nick is besties with Solitude and Klaus is still very unhappy about having more siblings. But soon becomes besties with Sunny after six weeks.
Background and BAD BEGINNING:
Beatrice and Bertrand would send all four of their children to the beach that dreadful day. They had made BOTH Nick and Klaus promise to take care of their younger sisters (B&B also privately talked to Nick and explained to him that since he is the older twin, he needs to watch over Klaus as well because Klaus is babey.)
So Lemony is raising two daughters, which is not easy since they’re only 11 months apart. So they’re always bickering. Both girls have lockets with a picture of their mother and their sister in the locket. Both Lilac and Violet cherish their father and even though they fight relentlessly, they are each other ride and die. Lemony made the same mistake as Beatrice and when Lilac was around 5 and Violet was 4, he asked Lilac to promise him that she will always look over Violet no matter what. Lilac promised without delay because she loves being the eldest.
Lilac looks more like Lemony than Violet does. Violet looks more like Beatrice. Lilac has Beatrice’s smile, while Violet has Lemony’s eyes. People mistake them for twins all the time though. Which annoys both girls.
Violet is the one who begins to feel suspicious of Lemony and Lilac tells her that she’s overthinking it. Violet wants to get to the bottom of it. Both girls desperately want to meet their mother.
The four Baudelaires take a liking to Strauss and an immediate dislike towards Poe and Olaf. Cause fuck Poe and Olaf. NICK is the one who has the breakdown about the one bed and offers it to Klaus, who offers it to the girls. Klaus is the one who tells Nick that his breakdown is freaking Soli and Sunny out, to which makes Nick calm down. Nick is hell-bent on figuring out the mystery of the fire while Klaus is still the one who holds on to the spyglass because he fears Nick will lose it. BOTH Soli and Sunny cuss out Olaf and bite him, relentlessly. Although Soli is still a herpetologist in training.
Li and Vi make an invention together, they both have that soft moment in the taxi explaining that they don’t hate Beatrice they understand her reasonings. Lemony desperately wants to help their brothers and sisters. Keeps the secret from both of them.
Soli suggests poisoning Olaf which Nick is totally down to do, so is Sunny. Klaus is like you guys...that’s murder and Nick straight up would be like so? you’re outnumbered. But they can’t find any poison so they make pasta puttanesca. Olaf still grabs Sunny and lifts her too high up, which results in Nick grabbing Soli and holding her tight. Klaus, on the other hand, is now down for murdering when he hears his baby sister’s cries and remembers the promise he made. KLAUS is the one who talks back to Olaf resulting in him getting slapped. But instead of Sunny biting his hand, Nick puts Soli and Sunny in a corner near Klaus and walks up to Olaf CASUALLY and PUNCHES HIM STRAIGHT IN THE FACE. “DON’T HIT MY BROTHER YOU FUCK!” this results in Nick getting his ass kicked by Olaf until Klaus tries to stop him but Fernald is the one who stops him. The next morning, Olaf still demands an apology. All four kids tell him to fuck off, resulting in him lifting Nick (who’s holding Soli) and lifting Klaus (who’s holding Sunny) by their necks towards the wall. Realizing that he doesn’t have an extra hand to do anything he waits til the boys are slightly purple before releasing their necks, causing the boys to fall and drop their sisters. (their sisters know they didn’t do that on purpose). Nick is the one who hears Olaf’s dumb train plan and explains to Olaf that he is a dumb shit cause he won't get shit if the four Baudelaires die.
They go to Poe, this time with Klaus’ cheek bruised, Nick, having multiple bruises on his legs and arms (which he willingly shows to Poe), They even show the small bruises on their necks from when Olaf was choking them, Poe still claims it’s loco parentis. Which causes Nick to go ballistic and cussing Poe out as Klaus drags him out (with Soli carrying Sunny the best she can). Soli and Sunny MAKE NIck and Klaus tell Strauss, who simply talks to Olaf. which doesn’t do shit for the kids.
Lemony does all his usual shit with VFD, Jacqueline, Gustav, and Larry. (none of this changes really except he’s keeping two daughters a secret).
Nick is the one who stays up all night with a book but doesn’t tell Klaus because he doesn’t want Klaus to worry. He confronts Olaf explaining how Nick was right and Olaf would get shit. Olaf tells him to go tell his siblings, Nick wakes up Klaus but he can’t seem to find Soli OR Sunny.
Olaf tells the boys that if they don’t become good obedient little boys, he will drop both toddler Soli and infant Sunny from the tower room. He tells the boys that good news, if they mess up once, at least they have another sister. Olaf explains that he’ll have them choose who he drops first if they piss him off. Both boys want Olaf dead. Nick feels defeated and blames himself while Klaus is not giving up just yet.
Chapter 8 is still Klaus’ chapter where Olaf tortures him. Klaus still gives blankets to both his sisters while Nick is sleeping, he tries to save his sisters but he is caught. Olaf does not drop either sister because he rather hurt Klaus. Klaus tries to scream to get Nick to help him but Olaf keeps his hand over the boy's mouth. When he’s done, Klaus goes upstairs, he is still given the first aid kit, but he has NICK there to help him. He tries to do it himself but he wakes up Nick by crying and Nick wants to MURDER Olaf for sure at this point. Nick does the best he can while he is literally hating himself for letting this happen.
Lemony tries to save the kids with his CPS disguise, to no avail. Because Olaf is holding both girls and the boys know if they say anything its over.
violet starts the kitchen fire and when Lilac’s trying to fix it, it gets worse, both girls cry as Lemony holds them. They’re blaming each other but he tells them he does not give a shit because his purple lemons are fine. (also lilac also calls him Lemon Man or Mr. Lemons, although Violet is the one who started the nickname when she was a toddler). When Lemony leaves abruptly, Violet tries to convince Lilac that something weird is happening. Lilac tells her that she’s bored and she’s just looking for troubling shit. Violet ignores her and continues questioning their father.
Nick and Klaus are under constant watch, although Nick is super protective of Klaus. when the police are at the door, Olaf grabs Nick and throws him against the wall and threatens to kill him. Klaus kicks Olaf in the groin as they race to the tower room to save their sisters. Olaf grabs Nick’s ankles and Klaus grabs Nick ignoring Nick when he stells Klaus to get the girls. Olaf promises to return.
Klaus makes Nick promise not to tell the girls, Poe or the authorities what Olaf did to him, Nick is reluctant at first but agrees once Klaus tells him that he’d prefer if Nick was the only one who knew. this makes Nick feel validated as an older brother.
REPTILE ROOM:
Nick and Klaus are worried about Uncle Monty, while Soli is excited. Nick is the idiot who asks what kind of scientist Monty is which Soli responds Snakes! Dummy! Sunny still corrects Poe about what the road smells like. CAuse she’s a mini chef in training.
Monty is sweet and naive like he is in book, movie, show, and MLC. Both boys tell him that he can’t get the fortune until their 18, Monty responds with not giving a fuck about the damn fortune. both soli and Sunny are rude to Poe because EVERYONE SHOULD BE.
The boys beg Monty to allow them to all sleep in one room. Monty doesn’t understand why they wanna be 4 to a room but he allows it. he has enough things for each child.
When Lemony has his first nightmare, Lilac is the one who hears him. She questions him. He lies to her stating that he had a bad dream about someone taking his girls. Lilac believes him but only partially. Violet wakes up demanding to hear all about their mother. The girls fall asleep with putting their heads on the other’s shoulders as Lemony rambles on about Beatrice.
Nick wants to kill Monty for 10 seconds when he believes that Ink is deadly and bit Sunny. Soli, on the other hand, starts laughing as Sunny is bitten and even tells the snake “my turn!” The snake bites her, nearly causing Klaus to faint until Monty explains that Soli’s assumption is correct. The snake is harmless.
Klaus has a nightmare that night, which wakes all his siblings up. Soli and Sunny ask Nick wondering what’s wrong with Klaus. Nick lies and wakes his brother up. Monty offers tea to Klaus and Klaus only agrees if Nick can come with. After this, both boys warm up to Monty.
Violet begins her investigation, with Lilac saying count me out. Violet makes her promise, not to tattletale, which Lilac only agrees to because Violet was threatening her coffee machine. Violet keeps offering to let Lilac help but Lilac swears she wants nothing to do with it. violet reads the contents of the drawer aloud which piques Li’s interest but Lilac doesn’t like snooping. When Violet is nearly caught by Lemony, Lilac stops this from happening sneaking a smile to Violet that she’s in. Because she catches her dad in a lie.
Klaus and Nick see that the maze in Monty’s backyard relates to Olaf just as Olaf arrives. Nick is the one who tries to slam the door in Olaf’s face, but he pulls out a knife. He steps in front of his three siblings. (handing Soli to Klaus). Olaf pokes him with a knife telling him that “if Nick doesn’t behave, it’ll be HIS turn). The girls don’t understand what this means, but Klaus and Nick sure do.
Monty asks Klaus to take the canoe off the jeep with Olaf, Nick tries to tell Monty but Olaf is threatening Klaus with a knife.
Violet eavesdrops on their father, Lemony leaves and Violet explains that she’s going to follow him. Lilac, acting on her promise, is like NO you’re not. Violet starts disguising herself. Lilac helps her and disguises herself because she refuses to let her sister go alone. The girls are both mimes because Violet is like mimes and Lilac is like what? Their disguise names are Anna (Emily Browning’s character in Uninvited) and Rebecca (Malina Weissman’s character in 9 Lives). They’re both crept on by Stephano. Lilac tries to watch the movie and understand it as Violet is watching their father.
After the movie, Olaf grabs Soli from Nick and tells the other three no funny business as he tries to kidnap them. Monty reappears, they all go home. Monty rips up the idiot’s ticket, Klaus and Nick are carrying the lamp upstairs and Klaus still tells Olaf about the ripped ticket. even though Nick was yelling at him to STFU.
Nick and Klaus discover Monty’s body. Olaf has Sunny in one suitcase and Soli in one of those wheeled suitcases. When he stabs the suitcase that doesn’t have either sister, Nick screams in anger and he's the one thrown into the jeep. Klaus is blaming himself for Monty’s death.
Nick and Klaus are confused as to who Kronk is and what he wants. Sunny still has the idea of jumping out the window. Nick is totally down for it and he and Soli go first. They get down perfectly. Klaus and Sunny still fall because Klaus has panic attack. Kronk helps the kids back in the reptile room. The boys research, Klaus still sees how Monty had bought books about how to help kids with PTSD. Klaus starts crying, Soli and sunny look for Ink. When the kids are ushered away again, Kronk says he needs Nick and Klaus’ help as Soli and Sunny are hiding. Sunny’s teeth are sharper so she still opens the suitcase. Soli is the one who plays with Ink to get Poe to see he’s harmless.
Olaf grabs Nick and decides to take him, but Ink attacks saving the kids. Nick decides to follow Olaf in the maze. Both boys feel defeated again. Nick still wants to solve the mystery surrounding them.
Soli drags Sunny to help her release Ink and a few other reptiles because Soli is a herpetologist.
Lilac and Violet question why their father smells like horseradish but he lies to them bringing them both home their favorite foods. both beginning to not trust him. Every night when he's asleep the girls start brainstorming ideas about everything just like Violet does in MLC. Lemony’s nightmare consists of Olaf murdering one of his daughters and keeping the other one for the fortune. He wakes up freaking the fuck out. Klaus and Nick question Mr. Poe about Jacquelyn.
WIDE WINDOW:
The Baudelaires are still taken to Josephine’s by Kit via taxi. All four kids can’t stand Josephine. Thinks she’s crazy, rude, and annoying. NICK has the disassociating moment in the fridge because that’s his thing, not Klaus’.
Nick gets angrier at Josephine than Klaus when she won’t answer their fucking questions. He gets the cards, Klaus gets the train. Soli gets the doll and Sunny gets the rattle as gifts. Klaus still thinks they should get Josephine out of the house.
Klaus is the one who bumps into Olaf but NIck is the one who pushes him down when he sneers at Klaus.
Lilac suggests they redial the phone number and see who Lemony is talking about. Both girls go to the bank, they’re arguing about directions so that’s how they meet the Quagmires. Isadora and Lilac immediately are blushing while Quigley and Violet are immediately blushing. Duncan still finds this fucking hilarious. They get to the bank and both girls question Jacky just like in MLC. Lilac says her name is Magenta as Violet still says her name is April Mallahan. Violet wants to punch Lilac for her dumbass disguise name. Jacky tells them to meet somewhere else. The girls accidentally eat peppermints. Both girls have immediate allergic reactions. Lilac can’t speak and Violet is incredibly itchy. Violet and Lilac ask the same questions, get the same answer. When Jacky realizes they aren’t Mallahans. They admit their names are Emily and Malina (instead of staying Magenta and April). Lilac asks Jacky if she’s dating Lemony hoping that her dad isn’t lying about that. but alas, he is. This is where Lilac officially does not trust him. (Violet’s already been there).
Klaus answers the phone hangs up on Olaf. Nick tries to explain to Josephine who Olaf is. When Olaf says the business card line, Klaus corrects him. and he starts backing Klaus into a wall which causes Nick to run up to Olaf and attack which causes Olaf to throw him towards the wide window. he hits it, but it doesn’t break. soli and Sunny try to attack.
Nick and Klaus break into the safe (although Soli has the correct combo). They collect the same documents and photos as Klaus and Sunny do in MLC. Klaus, Soli and Sunny sleep as Nick stays awake watching his siblings sleep. He has Sunny and Soli in his lap and he’s sitting as close to Klaus as possible taking turns rubbing each of their heads whispering happy thoughts to Klaus as he sleeps in hopes of keeping his dreams nice. Nick hears the window break and wakes his sibling. Klaus discovers the note and Nick immediately says: there’s....a hidden message. Klaus thinks he’s crazy (this happens cause in the movie they solve it faster than the show or book).
Klaus tries to explain to Poe what’s happening, even though Nick and the girls were against it entirely. They go to lunch with bastard man. Sunny has the plan to eat peppermints. Nick and Klaus get both the swelled tongue and the itchy hives while Soli gets the swollen tongue and Sunny gets the hives. Klaus looks for baking soda for him and Sunny as Soli and Nick tackle the note. Nick figures it out rather quickly and then the house begins falling apart. Klaus is the one who flips and dangles out of the window. Soli and Sunny bite on to doorknobs during this. Nick is dodging the fridge and stove at this time. Trying to reach all his siblings. Nick grabs pics from Ike’s study room.
When the house breaks. Soli and Klaus are on the safe side while Sunny and Nick end up on the platform. Klaus starts crying as Nick lays down defeated praying that he and Sunny’s death will be quick. Soli and Sunny start tying their little hair up. When asked what they’re doing, Sunny replies “Vi” aas Soli replies “Li” which confuses their brothers. Sunny and Soli figure out how to get Sunny and Nick back to the Klaus and Soli. The boys think this is crazy but they go along with it. Nick does what he’s told and pushes the anchor, he grabs Sunny as Klaus picks up Soli. The four make it out of the house.
They meet up with Steve Barkin, who Nick and Klaus don’t know if they can trust entirely. He brings two coats (one for Klaus and one for Sunny since they took off their coats in the house). He brings a yellow raincoat for Sunny, a blue raincoat for Klaus, a green raincoat for Nick, and an orange raincoat for Soli (he has the red one). Soli and Sunny take a nap as Klaus and NIck have the heart to heart with Steve Barkin who takes them to Curdled Cave.
The flashback where Violet almost got kidnaps, turns into Lilac and Violet almost getting kidnapped. When Violet ran ahead of her father and Lilac, Lilac ran after her (trying to keep her promise to her father even though Lemony was calling for both of them to get back here). When Lilac realizes they can’t find their father (because both girls can’t agree on what his disguise looks like, LILAC bumps into Fiona and both girls giggle. Fernald comes running and checks over Fiona and then when Fiona tells him that Lilac and Violet are lost, he offers to help. Lilac pushes Violet behind her and she asks if he’s a kidnapper. while Violet (behind her sister) says: ask him if he’s a child hurter, too, Li! there’s a difference!” Lilac tells her to shush and that’s there is no difference. He laughs and tries to help them find their father. Widdershit tries to recruit them both because he’s a shithead. Fernald and he argue. and He PICKS UP Violet and demands for Fernald to pick up Lilac. Lilac starts crying begging for her sister back and Fernald takes Violet from Widdershit and when they are distracted. Lilac tells Fiona and Fernald goodbye as she runs dragging Violet with her. They then meet the duo which the man with the beard and no hair grabs LILAC this time and Violet starts SCREAMING STRANGER DANGER as loud as she can until Lilac can struggle out of the man’s grip, again grabbing violet’s hand. The girls huddle together holding each other tightly, crying. Lilac starts calling for her father by his real name as she hears LILAC EMILY!!!! VIOLET MALINA!!! Violet rushes to her father and hugs him but Lilac is nervous. She feels like she failed her dad. He’s holding Vi and waiting for Li to run to him so he can pick up both his girls. Lilac starts crying and throws herself to the ground apologizing. Lemony gently picks her up and reassures her. Once they tell him what happened. He looked to both of them and says: You BOTH did well today. You took care of each other and that’s what counts. He then realizes both sides of VFDs schism tried to kidnap his daughters so they run home and relocated. Lilac thinks it’s all her fault no matter how many times Lemony tells her otherwise.
in the present day: LILAC puts these pieces together as Violet gets angry. Lilac is becoming SADDENED by her father's lies and secrets while Violet is getting MAD. Both girls HATE VFD.
The four Baudelaires try their best to convince Josephine to come back with them. Nick is frustrated but Klaus is like I got this. He does his dramatic eyeglass wiping thing and convinces Josephine. The boys' question Josephine about the photographs, documents, and the book they lost.
Leeches attack. Nick tries to sail as Klaus tries to start a fire. Soli has the idea of using Klaus’ glasses and the spyglass as she puts Sunny on her lap to protect her baby sister. Nick and Klaus get a fire to work and all four kids assume that Steve is saving them.
Captain Sham teases the kids telling him that only ONE can get on his boat. Nick declares that no Baudelaire is getting on his boat. Sham says they’ll change their minds. He then threatens Josephine. Klaus guards Josephine and Josephine pushes passed him making him fall on Nick so she can hand Soli over to Olaf. Klaus and Nick start CUSSING JOSEPHINE OUT as Olaf snickers saying: Soli is the lucky Baudelaire who gets to inherit the fortune for him. Nick jumps on the boat telling him to fuck off and he takes his sister back. Klaus is STILL cussing out Josephine as he hands Sunny over to Nick. Nick puts Soli and Sunny in the corner making sure he is standing between them and Olaf. Klaus is trying to get across on to the boat and Olaf starts making the boat wobble. Nick pleads with Olaf to let Klaus on the boat. Olaf asks Nick if he’ll behave which causes Klaus’ panic attack making him even more wobbly. Nick agrees as he grabs Klaus’ hands and pulls him on the boat holding him close.
Josephine tells Olaf he can do whatever he wants with the kids to where Nick straight out says he hates Josephine while Klaus is trying to get her to realize that she’s their guardian she shouldn’t be doing this. She corrects Olaf, he kills her and mocks the kids who are begging her to jump (even Nick cause Josephine is better than Olaf as a guardian).
When he calls himself their father. Klaus tries to push Olaf off the boat. So he grabs Nick and dips his head on the side of the boat where the leeches AREN’T at because they’re busy eating Josephine. Olaf explains to Klaus if he tries that shit again, Nick is going in the water with Josephine. Klaus nods his head and sits down.
Sunny is the one who bites the peg leg after her siblings pleading doesn’t with Poe doesn’t work. Klaus suggests running away but Nick tells him that that may not be the best idea. When Olaf escapes, Nick hands Soli to Klaus and starts running after his car but Olaf after promising to return speeds up. Nick starts crying. Lemony vows to murder Olaf. During Lemony’s nightmare, while Larry is near, he screams Violet and Lilac’s name.
Lilac and Violet discover more pieces of the puzzle which has them accusing lemony of kidnapping them from their mother. Lilac is in shock and tears repeating: no, no. he wouldn’t. no. While violet is in angry shock. Lilac breaks down and Violet tells her she can’t act like that when he’s around or he’ll know. Violet wants to surprise him. Lilac is mad at her for snooping in the first place and ruining their perfect lives. Violet gets mad saying their lives are LIES not PERFECT. They figure out his combo is LVS for (Lilac Violet Snicket)
MISERABLE MILL:
Nick and Sunny question Poe on why a lumbermill is a good place for 4 children to live. While Klaus and Soli just stare at the pictures that they found. Klaus and Nick are annoyed when Poe won’t let them try to pronounce Sir’s name. Both Soli and Sunny cuss out Poe and Nick and Klaus are annoyed cause they can. Klaus sees the optometry building and says fuck it who cares about our parents' mysteries lets get the fuck out. Nick tells Klaus that he’ll protect them and they have to stay and figure out shit.
They’ll meet Charles and they like him. They meet Sir and Nick is a little shit to Sir. Nick and Klaus argue about the fact that if Sir and Charles are their guardians why should they work for them. Also, after Sunny explains to Klaus that sir and Charles are gay (by saying Duncan), Klaus still doesn’t get it. Nick annoyed at their situation yells. THEY’RE GAY DUMB ASS.
Sir makes 12-year-olds, toddler, and baby work in the lumbermill. They meet Phil, they like him although everyone but Soli thinks he is a tad bit annoying cause he’s an optimist.
Klaus still says Olaf returning is a GOOD thing, Nick looks like he could kill Klaus for simply saying that. Soli is the only one who slightly agrees cause she does not want to work at a lumber mill but she doesn’t say anything seeing Nick and Sunny telling Klaus he is a dumb ass.
Nick is ready to kill the mill workers who say his parents are arsonists. When Soli and sunny are sleeping Klaus and Nick whisper asking each other if the girls are asleep. Klaus tells Nick he wants to run away and Nick tells Klaus that he thinks they should stay and clear their parents' name. Klaus replies with: once again you and I are on the wrong page bro.” which hurts Nick but he doesn’t show it.
Lemony feels tension from Violet and sadness from Lilac. He doesn’t understand why one daughter looks ready to murder and the other looks ready to break down. He asks they don’t answer. He promises to find their mother to hopefully calm them down, both girls slightly believe him.
Klaus and Nick get too stimulated in the lumbermill because of the noise and Klaus starts crying. Nick tells him to man up and just suffer through. Once they clear their parents' names the four off them will take their earnings and run away.
Soli and Sunny do better at debarking than the boys. Nick flips out on the millworkers when he is told they will not be getting paid and their lunch is gum. Klaus now really wants Olaf to return so they can leave since Nick won’t listen to him. They all discuss how shit their lives are nowadays as they try to sneak to the library, they’re caught and Sir demands them to go back to work. Charles uses the lame excuse of Sir having a terrible childhood to justify his actions towards the kids. Nick and Klaus simultaneously replied: we are having a terrible childhood right now. as they carry their sisters back. Klaus tries to tell Nick he assumes that Olaf is the foreman just for Nick to ignore him like violet did in the Netflix show.
the Foreman breaks his glasses so he’d have to go to Orwells. His siblings freak the fuck out when they’re told that the eye-shaped building is where Klaus is going. Klaus tells them he’ll find evidence there.
Klaus’ FIRST optometrist’s appointment goes as written in MLC. Nick is the one who does most of the researching not Sunny. Sunny and Soli find the dictionary and their father’s handwriting (like in Netflix). The three overhear Sir and Charles talking about a cover-up. Klaus does not SEE Olaf but he hears him (like IN MLC). He is then hypnotized.
Nick, Soli, and Sunny go absolutely insane while waiting for Klaus back. Soli decides to sleep the anxiety away, Sunny cooks with Phil and Nick paces back and forth flipping out. Blaming himself like Sunny does in MLC. All three siblings have no fun, but mainly Nick. He is losing it. He feels like he has broken his promise to his parents. He promised to keep Klaus and the girls safe and he failed. He thinks Olaf has Klaus and is torturing him because unlike Sunny, HE KNOWS what Olaf did to Klaus and he HATES himself so much right now. He doesn’t let a sleeping Soli out of his sight and he begs Sunny to check up with him every ten minutes when she is cooking with Phil.
When Klaus comes back, the girls are asleep and Nick thinks Klaus is just messing with him and he tells Klaus that he is not funny at all. Nick tucks Klaus in and puts Sunny and Soli in his bunk because he can see something is wrong with Klaus. He cries himself to sleep as he holds his sisters because he blames himself.
Klaus nearly kills Sunny by nearly dropping her into the lumbermill machine, Nick had to take her from him and Klaus tried to grab Soli from Nick but he told Klaus to back the fuck off.
He’s unhypnotized and his glasses are delivered. Nick does not trust Orwell at all and he’s confused as to why Klaus is so chill, he knows that Klaus hates optometrists. (also with that flashback, Nick continuously teased Klaus about getting glasses but when it came to the appointment, Klaus wanted Bea or Bertrand to sit with him and Bertrand did until the doctor explained that Bertrand was too big to sit with Klaus so Nick VOLUNTEERED to sit with his brother for the appointment. The doctor allowed that and Nick let Klaus sit in his lap to calm him down.).
Klaus causes the accident which nearly got Nick (because when Fernald whispers to him, he tells Klaus to try to use the machine to hurt Nick, the only reason he missed is that Phil pushed Nick out of the way.
Klaus is unhypnotized because of Sir and Nick and the girls are relieved. Sir warns them that they can’t fuck up anymore. Foreman trips Klaus again and Nick tells the foreman that Klaus is not leaving without his siblings. The foreman tells him too bad so Klaus starts walking blindly alone but his siblings reach him and Nick places his hand in Klaus’ and hands him Sunny telling him: it’s just us. Who cares what the foreman says. We got you, bro.
Violet and Lilac find the letter about how Beatrice wanted to share the custody. How Lemony was only supposed to be babysitting his daughters and he shouldn’t have gotten full custody. This BREAKS Lilac who just starts crying and throwing things across the room and Violet tries to calm her but Lilac pushes her away. Violet’s inner core begins to heat up. She was ready to tell off Lemony. Lilac tries to convince her to be rational. let him explain. Lilac refused to believe that Lemony would kidnap them but Violet doesn’t know what is true or not so she’s done.
When Lemony comes home, Vi is sitting down with the evidence while Lilac is leaning against the counter wiping tears from her face. She calmly says: Lemony, we need to talk. When Lemony questions what she just called him, Vi says: sit down, Lemony.
The whole chapter goes as is, but with Lilac’s sad/mad questions and reactions. She’s trying to side with Violet but also sides with her father. She begs Violet to calm down because Violet’s making her too anxious but she is also begging her father to stop lying. When he won't and he tries to leave this is when Lilac loses her cool and both girls at the same time yell that they hate him. Which breaks him. Violet finally breaks down crying and as she falls to the ground, Lilac catches her and they both are an angry crying mess until they eventually fall asleep.
The four Baudelaires debate whether or not to just run away but Klaus explains that he needs his glasses if they’re going to survive on their own. Nick tries to apologize but Klaus tells him it’s not his fault. Sunny, Soli, and Nick once they SEE Shirley starts flipping the fuck out. Nick shoves his sisters into Klaus’ hands (who is confused as fuck cause he can’t see shit, but he’s shaking) and Nick has his fists ready to fight Olaf.
Olaf laughs and Orwell sweetly puts the girls on the couch and tells Nick to sit down and have some cookies as she takes Klaus to get new glasses. Nick interrogates Olaf as he guards his sisters. When Olaf described cutting Klaus until his blood bleeds out like a waterfall, instead of scaring Nick, he INFURIATES Nick and Nick demands his sisters to stay on the couch as he starts walking towards Olaf with MURDER in his eyes. He’s cursing and threatening Olaf as Olaf begins to throw cookies at Nick. (Soli and Sunny are catching the cookies as they laugh cause Olaf is scared of a 12-year-old boy). Olaf runs in the exam room and locks Nick out. Who starts trying to open the door.
Orwell tells Klaus she’s working with Olaf (the scene from MLC goes as is except with the mentions of Nick banging on the door and Klaus can hear Nick pleading to get in. Klaus tries to scream to Nick but Olaf and Orwell won’t let him. Orwell is annoyed through all of this. Klaus has the worst panic attack ever because Olaf is trying to scare him and starts describing what he plans to do with Nick, Soli, Sunny, and Klaus once he has them back in his custody. Klaus gets rehypnotized and Orwell gives Klaus back to his siblings. Nick jumps on Olaf and tries to kill him once he sees Klaus’ grey eyes again. Orwell pulls him off Olaf and tells him to get back home. Nick takes his sisters and his brother and walks out. Cussing both of them out. He realizes that Klaus is hypnotized.
Nick, Soli and Sunny try to research how to unhypnotized Klaus (like in the book) while they leave Klaus in the Baudelaire bunk in the dorm. Sir explains to them one more mess up and Shirley will be their guardian but Nick tries to explain to Sir that Klaus is hypnotized. Charles is also hypnotized cause of course.
Violet and Lilac wake up and question each other on whether or not all that shit happened. Violet tells Lilac that it did and this causes Lilac to feel like shit. Tell ing Violet they have to apologize the next time they see him. Violet is like no! we’re right. Lilac explains that with his enemies out there, one of these days they could lose him without warning so they need to watch what they say. Violet agrees although she still believes they have every right to be mad and Lilac agrees that they do.
Nick, Soli, and Sunny interrupt Olaf’s plan. Nick puts Soli and sunny on the ground to try and push Klaus away from the controls but Olaf orders a hypnotized Klaus to knock Nick out. Which eventually he does. (yes, Olaf would do that if this was 6B MLC).
Soli and Sunny try to figure out the word that will unhypnotize Klaus as Soli shouts fire to unhypnotize the rest of th mill workers when Fernald uses it to unhypnotize Charles by accident. Sunny tries to free Charles and Orwell starts sword fighting with BOTH Baudelaire babies as both girls try to say the word (Soli is almost able to say it but she still can’t.) Orwell demands Klaus to not listen to his sisters since they’re saying lucky and demanding him to stop from killing Charles.
Sunny continues to sword fight as Soli sees a green smoke, Sir, she tries getting who she believes is Sir to say ‘inordinate’. Lemony does. Lemony checks on Nick, who is slowly waking up. When he’s doing this, his smoke clears. Allowing the Baudelaires and Olaf to see his face (the same scene happens except) Olaf grabs Nick and Klaus and demands to know which kid is Lemony’s. Lemony explains that their twins and their both Bertrands. Nick, not thinking, begins correcting Lemony about how twins can be from different fathers until Klaus tells him to shut the fuck up. Olaf asks him which boy is his...Lemony tries to explain to Olaf that neither child is his. Olaf then questions Lemony about Soli and Sunny who are hiding behind Lemony’s legs begging Lemony to save their brothers. Olaf keeps looking from Nick and Klaus and finally, he looks at Klaus and says: it’s your lucky day, four eyes. You look more like Bertrand... and he throws Klaus to the ground as he glares at Nick. he says: But you....you don’t look like Klaus or Bertrand. But yet your his twin... Nick starts pleading with Olaf that Bertrand is his father and he doesn’t know this man. Lemony is also pleading with Olaf explaining that NIck looks like Beatrice but Olaf isn’t listening. He is slowly moving closer to the giant saw with every intention to throw Nick into the saw. The three younger Baudelaires plead with Olaf, all of them sacrificing themselves for Nick. Olaf calls Nick, Nicholas Snicket and Nick and Lemony both yell that he’s not a Snicket. Before Olaf has a chance to throw Nick into the saw, Olaf is thrown to the ground by Klaus who jumped on Olaf and Nick. Olaf wrestles Klaus off of him as Nick gets to his feet. The Baudeboys hide behind Lemony as Olaf has a fucking meltdown. The lumber mill workers begin to break in as the real Sir comes out of nowhere. Lemony apologizes quickly and leaves the kids as Olaf vows to kill him and then as Olaf escapes he promises the Baudelaires he’ll be back but he calls out to Nick saying: Especially YOU dear Nicholas.
Nick thanks Klaus for saving him and they let the millworkers attack Sir. Sir tells them they’re out. Nick, Klaus, Soli, and Sunny are okay with that. Nick tells his siblings to sleep as he waits up and watches.
EPILOGUE:
Klaus and Nick don’t know what to do about helping Soli and Sunny change. They don’t like the idea of Soli being the protector (which she suggests), Isadora pops up and offers to help. Nick and Klaus aren’t the happiest about this idea but what can they do. Isadora escorts the young girls to the girls' bathroom and asks the boys to tell her brother to hurry up.
NIck and Klaus change. Nick can sort of tie a tie (better than Klaus and Duncan).
When Klaus references Peter Pan, Nick mocks him but Duncan explains that he thought it was cute because he loves Peter Pan too. Klaus and Duncan are cutesy and Nick is just smirking like an evil big brother. He keeps making sly comments to Klaus about Duncan ESPECIALLY when Duncan is tying Klaus’ tie. Klaus is dying of embarrassment and Nick is having the time of his life. Isadora sees this and she has the same reaction as Nick. Nick even says to her: you and I are going to become good friends.
Lemony rushes home, Jacky is worried about ‘Emily’ and “Malina’ and makes Violet and Lilac go ahead of him. Both refuse and demand answers. He looks to Lilac and says remember your promise which makes Lilac break. She begs him to go with them. He hands Lilac his wallet and looks at Violet and says: I need you to promise to look out for Lilac...and not give her too much trouble. This causes both girls to break and they each hug him separately and then hug him together. EVERYTHING THAT HE SAYS TO VIOLET HE SAYS TO BOTH OF THEM. all of that cutesy soft angsty shit he says to both.
Violet and Lilac have to drag each other to the store. They wait, the shopkeeper keeps talking to them in code. They see the firetrucks and run. When Lilac hears a voice, she grabs Violet and they hide behind a dumpster and hear Olaf (they don’t know it is him yet of course). Violet and Lilac build a grappling hook together. Lilac breaks the window and Violet breaks the door. They both go to save their father. The same scene just add Lilac. Both girls are begging the other to stay close. Lilac falls to the ground first because she can’t breathe, Violet begs her to not die on her too. Both girls are desperately searching for their father when the building shakes, Violet refuses to leave but Lilac begs her that they need to leave. They need to keep the promise. They have to keep their promise and keep each other safe. both girls fall to the ground and they both think they’re dying. So Jacquelyn and Larry burst in and save them. Larry grabbing Violet and Jacquelyn grabbing Lilac. (scene follows, they blame themselves they hate themselves. they watch the building collapse and beg to not be indicted into VFD. Lilac says if they have to indict someone make it her just leave Violet alone. Jacky asks if they’d be comfortable staying with her for a night and Larry and Jacky take the girls to Jacky's apartment.

Maybe right now in the asoue fandom, we like to make AUs with more siblings/different siblings/etc
What if that one day evolves to a bunch of AU’s where it’s just an only child
Only Violet alone
Only Klaus alone
Only Sunny alone
Maybe it’s Beatrice ii who in the end has to take care of the newborn triplets named Violet, Klaus and Sunny all by herself
@unfortunate-stranger-losers watch out they’re gonna git ya
Everyone's reaction to Connie's latest chapter.
@unfortunate-stranger-losers
So if anyone in the Asoue and atwqs fandoms ever had to ask why they should join the VFDISCORD...or what happens within it. Heres a peak. This was legit hilarious and we do this on a day to day basis. These people are all amazing and hilarious. I love getting to talk with them daily about a common interest
Today we used Drake and Josh combined with @unfortunate-stranger-losers characters from her 6 Baudelaire fic to create this hilarity.
I promise these people are a fucking hoot and get me laughing my ass off everyday. Love yall. Yall are seriously like a family to me.
