You know how Viola and Lisle have had every job imaginable in madhel fics?

Now I’m picturing them constantly quitting, moving to new places, and taking new jobs just to escape madhel’s drama...

But somehow, those two idiots always track them down and drag them right back into their chaos 🤣

I can just imagine Viola landing a new job in a whole new state, managing some artist or something...

And on her very first day, she opens the door to meet her new client... only to find Madeline sitting there, grinning at her like an idiot 😁

back into time,

and all the flowers will bloom

when you become my wife

and i don’t even know you yet

a photograph kept in a heart’s top drawer, pressed like violets, close to skin; the paper is smile-lined, the faces unfading. on the back in lip pencil:

just had a devastating violisle (viola x lisle) fic idea (i don’t know if i’ll write this but i’ll share the idea anyway — warning for angst):

imagine an AU where lisle is viola’s first and only love. they fell in love centuries ago, in secret, long before homosexuality was legal. they snuck secret kisses and held hands in hidden alleyways. they loved to discuss intellectual topics and the mysteries of the universe together. to them, love was so natural. they couldn’t imagine a world without each other

however, one day, lisle fell ill. her illness was long and drawn out and weakened her significantly. in the moments just before she died, she asked viola to promise that she would never forget her. viola tearfully accepted and watched as lisle took her final breath.

the grief was devastating and hit viola incredibly hard since lisle died so young. it drove her to find something that could perhaps prolong life, preserve youth, or revive the dead, so she started researching.

it took years and years of research — much of it reading books about alchemy and her own experimentation on various living things — but after many years, viola finally concocts the mysterious potion of immortality. she takes it herself and it works

almost immediately, she becomes physically younger again. now, she never has to witness herself getting physically “older” than lisle and deal with the painful reminder that she would have to grow old while lisle doesn’t

but to her dismay, her new potion cannot bring back people who have died before taking it. she finds that it does prevent death in people who would have otherwise died after taking the potion and makes them youthful again, but it requires a lot more maintenance and upkeep. hence, why she always always encourages her clients to take care of their bodies, so they never have to deal with the maintenance as much

viola tries to come up with something that can reverse death in those that have already died without taking it — hoping maybe that she can bring back her long lost lisle — but with no success. all her efforts to concoct a new potion ultimately end up fruitless. lisle is gone forever.

the grief she has for lisle becomes overwhelming and to distract from the pain, she begins to offer the potion to other people, hoping that if they feel like they can be fixed by becoming young and immortal, perhaps she can too

but the emptiness never fully resolves. viola always feels like she failed lisle even though there was no cure for her illness when she died. she doesn’t feel like she can be happy ever again, especially with nothing but eternity to look forward to. there is unfortunately no way for her to travel back in time and prevent her death from happening in the first place

many many years later in the present day, when madeline and helen appear and become her clients, she becomes envious of them deep down because their love for each other — even with how toxic it is at times — reminds her of the love that she lost. that she can never have again.

but she tries to tell herself that if she couldn’t have her love with lisle, at least madeline and helen can love freely and openly in their time. at least they’ll always have each other for the rest of time, and she’s glad that she could help them eventually realize how much they needed each other by having them both take the potion

it doesn’t entirely take away her grief, but seeing that love heals something in her — just a little bit — and gives her a little bit of closure. knowing that two women, just as passionately in love as she and lisle once were, can have a happy ending and an eternity to love each other.

(i’m sorry if this is lowkey OOC for viola i just. this idea popped up in my head suddenly and i needed to write it down)
