Frankenberry and the Fruit Brute (A Frankenwolf Fic)

I'm sure somebody in the Frankenwolf fandom has come up with this idea before, but I got a box of Frankenberry for Halloween (actually, I got it about a month ago, but it's a large box and I don't eat cereal every morning so I still have some lol) and I couldn't resist! Blame General Mills for making a Frankenstein cereal and a werewolf cereal. This is one of my few, if not my first, foray into writing a holiday fic, I honestly forget at this point, so it was such a fun little thing to do! If you're saying to yourself, Martian, what are you doing, it's not Halloween yet! rest assured there is method to this particular madness: October 27th is Frankenstein Friday! So you get this early as a treat! Read on and enjoy!

Victor set his bag down next to the door, which he pushed closed behind him with his foot, and began unwrapping himself from all the layers of cold-weather clothes he was wearing. It was only October, but on the coast of Maine it got chilly fast. His overcoat, brought over from the Land Without Color by the curse, he hung carefully on a hook in the hall; it was durable and warm, not to mention stylish, and he didn’t want to rip it. The red knit gloves and scarf went on a table next to Ruby’s grey ones. His sweater vest (also stylish, but far too warm for wearing in the house with the heat on) he pulled over his head and dropped in the laundry room on his way to the kitchen.

The moment he saw Ruby leaning against the counter with a wolf-that-ate-the-canary grin, he knew he was in trouble. “Alright, what is it this time?” Surely not another dog; Ruby had already twisted his arm into bringing home two shaggy hounds from the shelter, who were probably curled up in the living room in front of the fireplace. They were the laziest animals Victor had ever met.

“Guess what I found at the store,” Ruby said. She didn’t wait for Victor to actually make his guess, whipping out a box of cereal from the cabinet behind her. “Ta-da!”

Victor stared at the cartoon mascot on the box for a minute. “Is that—Ruby, that’s ridiculous.” The cereal was labelled Franken Berry, and the mascot who shared the name was bright pink from head to foot, with a chain draped around his neck and slightly robotic features forming a wide, somewhat vacant-looking grin.

Ruby laughed. “It’s hilarious, Vic,” she said. “And it tastes good.”

Victor raised an eyebrow at the monster mascot. “Instead of Frankenstein standing for life, my family name stands for pink Halloween cereal,” he grumbled. “Well, if I can’t beat em, I might as well join em.” Cereal for dinner—why not? He had to know if it was as good as Ruby said.

He would probably never admit out loud that it was.

……

The next afternoon Victor stopped at the store on his way home from the hospital to pick up batteries and dog biscuits; the TV remote was only half-working, and the dogs became even lazier if they didn’t have their little bone-shaped snacks to motivate them.

As he passed the cereal aisle, the gaudy display of General Mills Halloween-themed ones caught his eye. He glared at the Frankenstein for a minute, then looked to see what other flavors they had. Count Chocula…maybe later, he did have a fondness for chocolate cereals.

Wait a minute.

Fruit Brute. The instant Victor saw the werewolf on the box wearing pink, green, and orange striped overalls, he knew he had to get it. He added it to his basket of groceries, already cackling inwardly at what he imagined Ruby’s reaction would be.

He wasn’t disappointed. When he presented the box, grinning, Ruby looked stunned for a minute, then burst out protesting and laughing at the same time. “My fashion sense is better than that!” she howled. “Those pants are horrible! At least your guy stuck to one color!”

Victor laughed triumphantly. Having gotten his revenge, he was just about ready to stick both boxes in the pantry and let the whole thing rest.

Then he saw the look coming across Ruby’s face and knew he was in trouble. “Hey, Vic, you know how Snow and Charming win the couples’ costume contest in the town square every year?” she said. “Maybe it’s time they get dethroned.”

Victor only needed a moment to consider it; he knew Ruby wouldn’t relent, and if he was being honest he liked the idea of taking the Charmings down. “You’re on, sweetheart,” he said.

…….

On Halloween, the two of them left the house all dolled up in their mascot costumes just as it was starting to get dark. The sky was a beautiful shade of dusky purple, and the streetlamps were coming on—the ones on Main Street had been decorated with covers that looked like jack-o’-lanterns, and the fairy lights strung from one to the other were in little ghost shapes.

“It’s a beautiful night for defeating the champions,” Ruby said, squeezing Victor’s arm with excitement. He loved this competitive side of her.

Sure, they both looked a little ridiculous; Ruby in a brown unitard absolutely covered with fake fur, plus a pair of pants she’d made herself to match the striped ones the wolf on the box wore, and Victor in magenta version of his usual lab coat and plastic chains draped around his neck spray-painted pink. But the Charmings weren’t laughing for long—not when Victor and Ruby were finally pronounced the winners of the couples’ costume contest and took a triumphant victory lap around the town square, then collected their prize: coupons to a new cafe that had opened a couple of weeks ago.

And when they went to the cafe the very next day, and Victor was sitting across from Ruby, watching her sip from a mug of spiced hot chocolate in a soft, cozy red sweater, he had to admit those stupid cereal mascots had done him a favor.

Send me a pairing and I’ll tell you what their child would be like. :)

She used to dream about being a world-famous traveller - but she was stuck in a middle of nowhere, bound by family business.

He used to want a big loving family - but he was divorced, parentless and his only son just hated him.

She used to desire being a scientist - but she was a stony-broke drunkard with no education.

He used to wish for finding new ways of saving people’s lives - but he was a rebelious boy with dangerous thoungs that were devouring him from the inside.

They were “The outsiders” and so they changed that.

and now on the official Frankenstein Day we have the boys' big episode! 2x12 gifs will be broken into a few posts today since there's so many. here's part 1! (a little out of order lol) we finally see Chad as Gerhardt and find out what happened to make him into the monster. and why Victor is the way he is. he may have gone about things the wrong way, but he did it to genuinely try to save his brother. some have commented he ordered Gerhardt to kill their father but as we've seen Gerhardt have some recognition, I think he was just trying to be a good brother and protect Victor from the cruelness the guy always gave. I've bugged both David & Chad endlessly on this episode and Chad has agreed to that, as well as being a long-known fan of David's (back to Alias days) and shipping frankenwolf lol. and David's just as big a fan of his. for the record: Chad wants to be an uncle to frankenwolf babies and has also liked my s7 Hyperion Heights AU idea of giving Gerhardt the name Hartley Stone. he also said in interviews that he was going to have more episodes but they were cut short when Meghan & David left. but we've been pulling for all 3 to have a reunion somehow! I also find it interesting David's said he got in trouble for using an accent. I understand if writers maybe didn't want it, as he's had several other characters with accents, but it does completely make sense for Victor to have one. 1: as David said Rumple has several voices depending which world it is, & 2: they're from a different country. in my opinion his accent wasn't strictly as British as he could be, more just royalty ya know? anyway I love it all. as for Ruby in this one ooo! Snow was so sure she'd find him. I think not only could she smell the alcohol but she knew his scent too. we've seen little glimpses or lines to show they've begun a bond offscreen that we didn't see, as proven in my previous posts lol. I also have an entire theory of how she was the wolf by the Storybrooke sign (she proves even with the curse in 1x15 she still had wolf hearing) in which we later learn Victor has a house in the woods. and c'mon, they were all stuck there 28yrs, he would've been in the diner all the time. despite his flirting it was clear Victor had eyes for Ruby and no matter what happened later I fully believe they had a relationship and she'd eventually help him find Gerhardt. and as we see they really understood each other. and love the subtle glances between them gahh!
