If you are interested here is a prompt for the dads au, ava gets sick and both lilith and beatrice show up to take care of her
"No, stay 'way, 'm sick." Ava wards Lilith's hands off but there are two-four-eight of them– Octolily, ha.
"I'm aware." She's floating, then, face pressed to something soft and firm at the same time. "Libby's also quite ill. When you weren't responding, I figured you might have caught it too."
"Aw, you pay attention."
"I was merely wondering why I hadn't received a shitty meme in a couple hours. One sec, Aves, duck your head for me."
"Duck," Ava echoes, shifting her head. The movement makes her feel vaguely seasick.
"And again."
"Duck."
"And one more time."
"Goose."
"Kill me now." But Ava's sure she feels a brush of lips across her temple as she's set upright (horrible, ghastly position) and a seatbelt is pulled across her chest. "I'm going to go pack a bag for you, okay? Don't vomit in my car while I'm gone, I just got it detailed."

Beatrice closes Libby's door as silently as possible and presses her forehead against it, exhales long and shuddering. She's glad now that they'd hung onto the baby monitors, that she can tuck one in her back pocket and be sure in the knowledge that Libby's still breathing, no matter how choked and guttural it might sound.
"Bea, some help?"
"I just got Libby down,” Beatrice explains, after she's held the front door open for Lilith, who's got Ava cradled to her chest, one arm supporting her, the other hand stroking her brow. "Fever hasn't broken yet, but her temperature's stabilised."
Lilith nods. "I got some more meds on my way back." She moves down the hall, Beatrice caught up in her wake. "Ava's not doing as well, are you, love?" Ava mumbles something that gets lost in the fabric of Lilith's sweater. "She's been in and out of it since I picked her up. Keeps calling me 'Lily Putty' for some reason."
Beatrice huffs a laugh. "Probably because you're soft, Lil," she replies, opening the door of the guest room for her. Lilith glowers at her, but it just serves to make Beatrice laugh again. "You are, you know. You were out the door the moment it occurred to you that she might be sick too."
"She doesn't need to know that," Lilith grumbles, and then "grab the covers, would you?"
Beatrice pulls the sheets back. As she steps away to give Lilith space to manoeuvre, she catches Ava's eye where she's turned her face away from Lilith's shoulder. Ava winks.
"Like I said," Ava rasps, a pleased smile on her face. "Lily Putty." She clings to Lilith's neck as Lilith tries to get her settled on the mattress. "My Lily Putty."
"I want to die right now," Lilith says, deadpan, but there's a pleased flush to the tips of her ears.
For the character dynamics ask meme. 1, 2 and 7 for fatin/leah. :D
Thank you so much for indulging me <3
1- What’s the first thing they usually do to get the other’s attention?
They both like to open a conversation with a joke, or if not a full-on joke, at least a witty line. I think often when one of them is gearing up for a conversation, or to ask a question, and needs the other’s undivided attention, it follows this pattern: sit next to her, make a joke/have a quirky little opener, then start talking about what’s actually on your mind. Go read this post if you haven’t yet.
I also think they’re not shy about, like, two very direct strategies, which are: purposefully making eye contact, and calling each other’s name! Fatin will literally just stare at Leah’s face from the other side of the campfire until Leah catches on and stops doing whatever it is she’s doing that Fatin disapproves of. Or Leah wakes up from a nightmares, and only has to say Fatin’s name once for Fatin to wake up. They are almost always so attuned to each other, honestly, that the smallest hint is usually enough :’)
(Worst case scenario, Leah just starts taking off her clothes. Surefire way to get Fatin’s attention!)
2- How comfortable are they with touching/being touched by the other?
Oh man. Extremely comfortable? They literally, CANONICALLY, cannot fucking keep their hands off each other. I think they hug more than any other pair in the show? By the end of their time on the island, they are so used to this, to touch being an intrinsic part of their relationship, that they must both miss it a whole lot when they’re separated in the bunker. Cue their reunion hug being so damn desperate - Leah cupping Fatin’s head like it’s the most precious thing she’s ever held in her hands, Fatin being close to tears as she presses her face into Leah’s shoulder...
One thing we’ve never seen from them though, in terms of touch, is kissing, which I would really love to see in s3 *wink wink nudge nudge*. No, seriously, I’m not even talking about them making out - I do want it, but I’m not holding my breath - but just like... my kingdom for a scene where Leah gently kisses Fatin’s forehead. (My other, hornier kingdom, for Fatin to kiss Leah on the cheek, but like, a little bit too close to the corner of her mouth...)
7- Describe how they walk together (i.e., matching strides, holding hands, etc).
Leah’s legs are so much longer than Fatin and now I’m picturing a situation where Fatin keeps having to, like, power-walk to keep up with Leah and I am laughing - she would HATE it.
They wouldn’t hold hands all the time, but when they’re feeling a bit clingy, for whatever reason, they definitely do, and are the kind of disgustingly sweet people who don’t ever let go even if the sidewalk gets too small to walk side-by-side or something. One of the many reasons Dot refuses to go on walks with them anymore.
brooo i just read ur supercorp fic, the one with the baby and im I N L O V E. I love shirtless kara and i love jess and lena and claark and its just a really good fic.
this was the nicest message to wake up to ashdfjfgkfk omg thank you!! baby fics are my favorites i’m so happy other people love their little family too <3
Ok so like I binge-watched the 7 seasons of PLL in like three weeks and I like I started shipping the hell out of Hannily, but now Spemily has taken over my life and like your blog is LIFE and it's gr9. So i wanted to say thank u for like existing. Also more people should rlly get on the Spemily boat guys its beautiful
Welcome to the family!!!! And honestly binging is the way to do it lol seven years was too long.
Also, SAME, hannily was my first foray into shipping amongst the liars but literally and hour later I found spemily and whoops here I am. (I love hannily brotp, but personally, for me, I always felt that hannily was so infused with shay/ashleys friendship that it was hard to ship. but i get why people like it).
And thank you! I love this little blog that could. I honestly just started this for myself but now there are like 1,050 of your or something crazy and it means the WORLD to me.
Heey wtf is up with this dria chick, she's basically threatening to shoot you and mobsterkara (both minors) and wants to be a cop?? As someone who has received death threats I wouldn't ever feel safe if someone like that is in the police force. Also I hope you don't feel unsafe due to her threats, but also be careful 'cause you never know how far some people can go.
Dria is honestly so tame compared to some of the shit I’ve received before but lol she ain’t ever gonna be a cop if she keeps threatening to shoot minors online and accusing us of terrorism like go off dria i guess? but i’m not gonna take her seriously when she thinks she’s a fuckin wolf and tried to hiss at me lmao
omfg ur killing me (softly) with the dads AU. Thanks for filling my prompt the other day, it was beautiful!! And the new one where Libby calls Ava mom for the first time aaaaahhhhhh. Im thankful to the powers that be ok that u ship ava/lilith/beatrice so that u could bring to life the masterpiece that this AU is.
thanks I'm so glad you're enjoying it (and thank you for the prompt!). they're too messy not to want to keep poking at like a cocaine-addicted lab rat; Ava being the most well-adjusted of the three in dads au? big yikes
Your Dads fic is wonderful. It's everything I didn't know I needed. Also, if you'd be amenable to answering questions about it I do have a couple, if not feel free to ignore this ask. 1. Was Libby adopted or was she carried by Beatrice/Lilith? 2. How long were Beatrice and Lilith together/married for?
this whole thing is mainly just vibes idk a worldbuilding - if you saw something that doesn't make sense no you didn't
1. if we go by shitpost canon, Lilith carried her, but Lilith would never in her life get pregnant so 🤷 (can't believe this all stemmed from a bad 'Beatrice Is The Father' joke). I guess probably adopted
2. have known each other most of their lives, ended up at the same university and started dating in the back half of first year, married within a year of graduation (Lilith's fam is in politics, Lilith becomes a lobbyist, takes Bea's name when they get married to separate herself from her family's legacy), adopt Libby about three years after that in their mid- to late-20s, amicable divorce maybe another three years after that for reasons of [sound of a truck going by].
I'm spitballing here there's a reason this is just gonna be a tumblr fic
