Kefalonia, Greece, is Love Island’s new homestead. A sprawling blue and white Villa sprawls a patch of land adjacent to a craggy mountain view, gnarled trees covered in fairy lights twinkling by the entrance where patterned tiles lead to a pair of heaving double doors. Outside are flower beds, neatly pruned hedges that frame paths. There’s a homely, welcoming vibe to it rather than a party pad fit for a lads trip to Mallorca. In the early hours of the morning, town locals come in their pairs to clean the mess the inhabitants of the Villa had made the night before. They neaten up strewn loungers, fluff up throw pillows and brush away glittering debris to set a scene for the soon to be viewers. A buzzy radio plays Grecian Kitscherella, and Naomi and Winona hold court with staff in the kitchen. Winona’s Greek is surprisingly fluent and her English interpretation is determined and fast, eager to include Naomi in the conversation. There’s the odd moment of shiftiness where Naomi isn’t quite sure she’s saying the whole truth, bolstered by a tense exchange with a moustachioed man by the name of Mikelis. Winona will scrawl something down into her notebook with a dutiful nod, and then she’ll avert to Naomi.
“Mikelis says we’ve got to go up on the Roof Terrace, apparently there’s a surprise.” Winona says this with an emphatic wiggle of her eyebrows. Naomi chortles.
“Do you reckon we’ll need to get ready?” Naomi queries.
“Considering they got on our case for not having a full face on after the slime thing yesterday? Most likely.”
“They sure are setting a totally realistic standard, aren’t they?” Naomi groans with a roll of her eyes, pinching the bridge of her nose.
A foray into the abbaverse and a shamelessly self indulgent fic that asks the question - what would happen if two OCs were to be in the same Villa? The lovely Naomi and the majority of the premise is based off of the fantastic Lay All Your Love On Me.
