violet got VIOLATED
For the fanfic ask game: spyglass?
Anyway, here I am two years later, partly because i missed this ask at first and was too embarrassed to admit it, and partly because I hadn't used that word in my fic yet. But I finally used it today, so here goes:
“I can’t quite breathe right,” Violet admitted. “But maybe I’m just allergic to something in here. It smells musty, doesn’t it? And I’m dizzy. And there’s this weird feeling in my arms, I can’t quite explain it. They feel the way they look when you see them through the wrong end of a spyglass, like they’re too long.”

Back to the Back from the Dead au here's part one if you want to read. Link
Violet's old friends are all so confused about how twenty plus years have passed. According to them, they were only gone a year. The ship they were on had crashed. They were the only survivors and had been stranded on an island. They said they learned to survive.
They ask Violet about their siblings. They had tried to find them when they got back to London but no one told them anything of use. Finally, they asked about her, which led them to the Bridgerton house.
Violet could only stare sadly. "I'm sorry, but they've all died."
A mixture between acceptance, shock, and horror strung across their faces.
But now Violet has come to a new realization. With the death of their siblings, this puts Simon as the new Duke, and should something happen to George Crane or John Stirling, Phillip and Michael's nephews, this marks them as heir to their families. But who would believe that after twenty years the lost siblings have come home and never aged?
"We'll need some help from what to do here," Violet said. She sends four missives out. They should all be in London and can meet at the Bridgerton house tomorrow. "For now you eight can stay here."
She tells Cook of the last-minute additions for dinner that night. Now the next challenge will be Violet's children.
"My children are all the same age as you," Violt tells them. All eight of them make a face. To them Violet was just the same age as them a year ago, now her kids are their ages? They all glance from themselves to Violet. "We'll have to come up with a story."
They settle on them being there is a not subtle attempt from Violet to match make her children. Their eight guests are all relatives from Violet's friends who are new to London and just came back from a Grand Tour.
Violet's jaw drops when her children show actual interest in their guests.
She's had to grab her three oldest boys by the ears at almost every ball to get them to even dance with some of the girls there. Anthony is pulling out every move he has learned from being a rake on Kate, who is talking to him like he was her old corgi. Benedict has somehow managed to sneak a sketch book into Violet's dinning room and has been not so secretly sketching Sophie as monopolizes her attention on him. Colin is hanging off every word Penelope says, the girl's shyer nature slightly took over so she brought out a journal to help with conversation. Colin's eyes sometimes drifting from the journal to Penelope's chest.
Violet's oldest three daughters are no better either. Daphne has not taken her eyes away from Simon since Violet introduced him. Eloise has started her own way of flirting by asking Phillip every question she can think of when it comes to plants. Francesca has never giggled as much as Violet saw when she was talking to Michael.
The only two of her children who were not outright flirting was Gregory and Hyacinth, and even then Violet thinks it has more to do with their age than anything else. Because the way they are looking at Lucy and Gareth there is no other way Violet can interpret it besides her babies' first crushes.
Violet has no idea what to make of this situation. Her children are finally showing an interest in potential courtships, but why did those potential courtships have to be Violet's old but still somehow young friends? She's conflicted, on the one hand Violet knew these people when she was young, on the other hand they are still young with the bodies and minds of people much younger than Violet's current age. What to do what to do? The other ladies needed to hurry up and get here so they can plan.
I’ll give Violet one thing - the girl's consistent.
happy pride uwu
