I love your Dad Gerry AU 🥺😍

<3<3 Thank you for this message, actually, Anon - because i JUST REALIZED that I keep forgetting to actually write out what all we’ve established thus far about the AU!

First off- this idea was kicked off by my hawaiian shirt Gerry drawing (or, as someone tagged it, “vacation jorts Gerry”, which had me fucking rolling), and @spasticarkayl saying how strong the dad energy was. He & @hatoratomoen and i have been collaboratively fleshing out out. I’ll put this whole AU (or. what we have of it so far) in bullet points here! For ur enjoyment & also for my own memory lol. AS FOLLOWS, 

WHY HE’S A DAD:

- So. once upon a time, Archives days, Gerry is hunting down a Leitner (details?) to destroy it. the thing is, though - by the time he arrives, he very quickly realizes he is too late. The whole...family/cult/group/idk (details?) is in RUINS. everyone is dead. Except. Huddled away in a closet or smth, he finds two very young girls.

- Gerry knows what it’s like to be a scared traumatized kid. No fucking way is he leaving them. NO way. So he........well. he brings them back to the Archives? Because he has no idea what to do next and is kinda reeling.

- Idk anything about legal anything, but i assume kids (like most humans) need to have some kinda legal proof of who they are? Anyway. Gertrude helps make him all kinds of fake legal documents for the kids (don’t know their identities, and they’re very young) because fuck it lol and also she’d definitely know how to do that

- And thus.... Gerry just kind of.... accepts that’s what his life is now. He’s not too under the hold of the Eye or whatever, and he leaves. 

- and he starts his new life.

HIM BEING A DAD (this is far less cohesive but it’s just a mess of us yelling good cute dad gerry content at each other):

- while he still dresses pretty goth, he also lets his daughters pick out clothes for him (ex: the hawaiian shirt). the only suggestion from them he will NOT tolerate is socks with sandals.

- he lets his kids dye their hair from a very young age, AND will give them punk-ass haircuts when they want (and will do it himself in a heartbeat if a barber is weird about it). parents in the suburbs give him looks but also like when does he Not get looks lol

- he reads them bedtime stories :’) 

- he loves goofin around with them :’)

- IMPORTANTLY: he works so so hard and so passionately to give them the most normal and healthy and loving kind of childhood he can; the kind of childhood Mary never gave him even a sliver of.

- ALSO IMPORTANTLY:  He tells the kids at first that.......like, listen, he knows he’s not their dad, so they don’t have to call him anything like that, he’s just Gerry, it’s fine. Then after a few months.. they start calling him dad. and he has to go to the bathroom to cry :’’)

EDIT: going to start throwing stuff for this au under a dad gerry au tag

Good friend @unironicallyardentnerd tagged me to create a moodboard with 9 jellycat toys! These are the ones I liked best! Too bad they didn’t have a Lilly of the Valley toy but I like Snow Drops too!

The Cat in the Sweater is my cat Merrill and the Chonk Cat is my cat Noah!

Tagging @liiiiiiizzzz , @spasticarkayl, @unluckyxse7en, @lovelyprincejehan and anyone else who wants to! Here's the website!
