college au helnik?? are you trying to murder me????/ i need it n o w AND ANASTASIA WESPER IM GONNA CHOKE that movie was my life as a kid and i am desperate to see the broadway version holy shit also the fact that you had to jump in and reassure everyone that you're writing an alternate ending for the parem au is fuckign hilarious and also very helpful bc i was ready to fiGHT
LISTEN THEY’RE MY ACTUAL FAVES i love college au helnik so so so much and also??? i Need to talk abt college au matthias for a sec because. ok. matthias who ended up at some super religious boarding school for “troubled youth” after his parents died. matthias being separated from his younger sister because nobody cared enough to try and keep them together. theology major matthias who switches to english lit because he’s moving away from his upbringing and doing what actually interests him. graduate matthias going into social work because the system failed him badly and failed some of his best friends even worse and he wants to make sure it doesn’t happen to any more kids, at least not the ones he can help.
also. look at these nerds i love them so much
“Are you serious? Matthias, it’s Christmas.”
Matthias pauses in the middle of pulling on his boots to look up at where Nina’s sitting, wrapped up in a fluffy duvet, hair falling over her face and into her eyes. The thought of joining her again is tempting, but he ignores it and reaches for his other boot.
“You can’t run to the gym on Christmas,” Nina persists. “In the snow.”
“I’m not going to run,” Matthias says primly.
Nina flops back onto the pillows. “Suit yourself. I’m staying here.”
and anastasia au wesper aka my FAVOURITES EVER THEY’RE SO GOOD like you know that waltz scene??? THE waltz scene you know the one??? imagine that with them. it happens. they’re waltzing. on the deck of a boat. also the sass???
jesper: don’t worry, we’ve got plenty of track! we’ll just coast to a stop
i’d sell my soul to see anastasia on broadway tbh it looks SO GOOD
okAY the parem au is entirely @thekillercoffeeaddict‘s fault, i’m only writing it in revenge for her making me read the original fckn headcanons in the first place, and because she sent me that damn ‘loss’ prompt. and you bet your ass i’m writing a happy alternate ending, i can’t kill off any of these kids and especially not jesper, wylan, or kuwei. fun fact the first time i got this prompt my immediate response was “well shit is it gonna be wylan or kuwei” because killing jesper is just. not even an option. he Must live. i cannot fathom killing him off it’s just too much
