KENNY AND NESS @lethargicmick
CHAPTER 19 MY BELOVED! Wow wow wow, thank you so much, I cannot help but gush about how heartwarming this was, I appreciate it so much. This story has been so great, I just get more and more excited each update! This fic is definitely on my permanent reread list along with TIPDIG and CG.
I also just want to say that I am obsessed with Ben and Aria, Mickey deserves good and loyal friends that are there for him through thick and thin. My top fics have always have original characters that are almost just as important to me as Ian and Mickey and this is no exception! Still crossing my fingers things will work out for NELKINS!
Any chance we can have a glimpse into the Owen Christmas? So Benny and Aria get to sleep in the same bed? What do they get each other for Christmas?
This update was so worth the wait, you both are extremely talented and hope you both feel really proud of this work! Thank you thank you thank you!
thank you SO much for this message are you kidding!!! you are so freakin’ sweet and your support literally means the world! i am obsessed w u!!!!!!
likewise we are disgustingly obsessed with ben and aria. mickey deserves incredible people around him that hype him up - we all deserve a ben and aria!!
omfg okay ness and i had WAY too much fun talking about the owens’ christmas:
The Owens’ are kinda like the Weasley’s. Very warm and welcoming. Just with less kids.
His parents are Nancy and Thomas, and they’re still disgustingly in love after 39 years of marriage 🥺
Ben has two older sisters who fucking adore him. They LOVED dressing ben up to act in little plays with them in the living room when they were kids 😭
Everyone is obsessed with Aria and her accent. She fit right in from day dot.
Nancy puts out handmade stockings for everyone with their initials on it, and she made Mickey one for his first Christmas in NY 🥲 He got VERY emotional
They spend Christmas Eve in Manhattan doing fun, touristy stuff. The evening is spent carolling around the neighbourhood, and Ben secretly has an amazing voice and has a great time, before they eat takeout and chat and drink back at their house in Greenwich
Nancy gets everyone matching PJs that they all have to wear on Christmas morning. She gets a pair for Mickey, too, which Ben brings back with him
Christmas is very chill. It’s Home Alone in the morning, followed by presents around the tree, and a big ass lunch with every kind of meat, and afternoon naps, and making snowmen in the front yard, and leftovers for dinner, and board games in the evening that often turn very heated
After one too many eggnogs, the three kids put on a little play for old time’s sake, and Aria films it and sends it to Mickey and him and Ian laugh to the point of tears
Ben gets Aria a Buffy sweatshirt and tickets to the Olivia Rodrigo tour
Aria gets Ben a few video games and a custom blanket with his dog’s face on it. Their family dog died a few months earlier and Ben cries when he gets it
Aria and Ben’s sisters get high together after lunch and Ben grumbles that she loves them more than him and they all agree
Yes, Ben and Aria sleep in the same bed in Bed’s room!
thank you again anna, you are just the best!!!!! ♥️♥️
