is there a place where i can read whats up with auggie elias and margot . index finger pointing right index finger pointing left

GOD I WISH. i can give a brief overview though. under the cut because i know i'm gonna ramble.

Augustus "Auggie" Ellings is, in every universe, the second-born son of Beaumont and Cecilia Ellings, a wealthy lawyer and former pageant queen turned bored housewife respectively. They live in Georgia.

Edmund Ellings is Auggie's older brother. They're 4 years apart in age and Edmund is just kind of a dick? Edmund is essentially being groomed to take over his father's law firm and as a result his life is heavily monitored and predetermined for him. Any frustrations with this way of life or really any emotion he ever has is turned into anger and taken out on Auggie. Read this for an insight into their relationship.

Auggie's parents do not want him and they do not care about him. They will throw money at him mostly in the hopes that he'll just disappear and never ask them for anything (it kind of works)

Margot is Auggie's twin sister. She doesn't always exist, but I thought it would be fun to think about what Auggie's life would be like if he did have a sister and then she became her own character. She and Auggie are obsessed with their own twinness. As children they once cut Margot's hair in the bathroom so that she and Auggie could be matching. As teenagers they traded clothes in the school bathroom and also played very weird games with the guys they pursued (if Margot and a boy broke up, Auggie would try to date him. Auggie hooked up with a guy that Margot then started dating and she cheated on him with the guy Auggie was in love with in his junior year). They're... well!

I haven't written much about Margot but I do know that if Beaumont is raising Edmund to take his place, Cecilia is raising Margot to take hers. She definitely got her daughter to bleach her hair and put her in pageants or at least tried to do something similar.

Elias Conrad works for Beaumont Ellings. I don't know enough about law firms or even what kind of law Beaumont practices to know specifics of Elias' job but I guess he's a lawyer? A junior lawyer? Is that a thing? Who cares. His job is important, basically. Elias is 10 years older than Auggie and therefore 6 years older than Edmund. Elias believes himself more worthy of taking over Beaumont's firm than Edmund. He's diligent and gets results, he's worked hard to get where he is, etc etc etc. Beaumont really respects Elias and invites him over for dinner and to the various parties Cecilia throws at their home. That's how Auggie and Elias meet. Elias is often the only person in the room who will pay attention to Auggie at all and that makes Auggie feel VERY weird.

The summer before Auggie goes away to college (he's 18), he and Elias (28) begin a sexual relationship. That summer, Auggie spends a lot of time at Elias' house. It's not healthy. I affectionately refer to this time as "The Summer of Auggielias".

Elias is living as the third version of Elias Conrad. He grew up as the first version, a quiet child with a troubled relationship with his father. When he was 15, his father passed away and he watched a bunch of people seemingly lie about what a great man his father was at his funeral and he had a little bit of a mental breakdown for 2 years (thats the second version of Elias). The third version is the one that got him into college and into the Ellings firm. The third version is entirely lies and never tells the truth. He sometimes gets close to truth with Auggie.

Auggie attends a highly prestigious art school where he and his small cohort are involved in the semi-accidental death of their professor/mentor but never caught. This part of his life is not fleshed out yet because I'm doing something completely separate with it.

After he graduates, he moves to New York and is eventually able to become a full time exhibiting artist. He has a gallery show when he's in his mid-thirties that Elias randomly shows up to. At this point, Elias has a wife and son (Harriet and Davey). I won't piece the whole puzzle together but tl;dr that visit at the gallery eventually leads to the events of this piece

I think that's everything!! Well. Not everything. But the basic info! I'm currently working on a large document that contains a bunch of auggielias vignettes spanning the entirety of their relationship. i also have some ideas for elias pov stuff and i'd love to write margot because i've written 0 margot!! idek what her relationship with edmund is like!! the auggieverse keeps rapidly expanding

[bathroomcorpse]

i think the content of auggie’s thesis changes slightly depending on his canonical life experiences (whether he is in the universe where margot exists, one where elias exists, dependent on the tenor of his relationships with some undeveloped characters) but in all worlds i think he’s interested in duality, in opposites, in two sides of the same coin, etc. he would not have executed it in the same way but i think my double ouroborous piece is the closest thing i’ve made to something he would make. i don’t think he becomes particularly fixated on good and evil after the death of his professor but i do think feelings of guilt might crop up? not anything particularly noticeable bc tbh his art has probably been pretty self-hating for most of his life

auggie snippet because why not (also the last thing i reblogged reminded me of this paragraph so)

auggie reached out to touch his brother’s arm. they weren’t so different. edmund didn’t want him to exist, he didn’t want to exist. edmund wished he’d had a sister, auggie wished he was that sister. when his hand landed on his older brother’s arm, the other boy jerked it away and in one quick movement, slapped his younger brother across the face. finally, auggie looked at him. looked at that face, so similar to his own, but correct in all the ways he was wrong. perfect in all the ways he was flawed. he was backwash. he was the culmination of every flaw in his family, all of their imperfections made manifest and outside of themselves in him. he should have been stillborn. the umbilical cord should have wrapped itself around his neck. he should have been born a malformed mound of purple flesh. he should have been a horrible tragedy, something for them all to cry over, to milk sympathy from until the day they all died. a dead baby is better than a second son.

does your oc know how to use any weapons?

elias and his father used to go hunting together so he knows how to shoot and is skilled with a knife. edmund has probably shot clay or gone on a fancy people hunting trip so i imagine he knows how to use a gun as well. i think in college margot would have gone to a shooting range and i could see her getting pretty into shooting tbh. auggie is the only one who doesn't know how to do anything. he's delicate.

does your oc play any instruments? what is their skill level

i think margot is the only one who would. again, probably during college. maybe one of her roommates played guitar and she tried to learn from her. i could see her trying out a bunch of instruments, maybe taking some classes while she was at school. i could see her getting super into drumming and messing around with synths. i don't know that she's super technically skilled but she can at least bang something out on a few different instruments.

does your oc have any tattoos? do they want any (more) tattoos?

i've answered this for auggie and elias already but margot definetely has tattoos! similar to auggie, i'm not really sure what she would have but also similar to auggie i could see her getting a stick and poke from a friend in college and then getting more when she's out on her own in her 20s. i think she has more than auggie does and has maybe thought about getting tattoo and/or piercing certified.

margot and auggie btw. if u even care.

[bathroomcorpse]

does margot interact with elias at all or is that relatio ship something auggie keeps to himself..

so. i don't think auggie and elias happens in the universe where margot exists. a big part of auggie's attraction to elias and his decision to act upon it is that he's been incredibly lonely and neglected for his entire life. his family has no use for him so they don't really care about him. elias asks auggie questions, brings him into conversations, actually acknowledges him and the things he does. because that's basically a first for auggie, he's kind of addicted to it. in the margotverse, margot and auggie are extremely close. inseperably close for most of their life. they are both certainly still neglected and mistreated by their family (in different ways) but they have each other so they are both much less lonely than they would be if the other did not exist.

that being said, if auggielias happened in the margotverse, auggie would absolutely try to keep it a secret and margot would absolutely find out. i do not know what would happen from there. i think she might try to kill him.
