okay wait how about twisting the wedding thing a bit and liam's like a bluebeard's wife you know. maybe there were others before him but they all mysteriously vanished but noel'l like dont worry about it and liam is like okay 🩷 yay 🩷 and noel's kinda right bc he wants liam to be the last and he spent a lot of time goading and coaxing and talking liam into it and maybe the wedding has some weird rituals or smth
THEM LIVING THE BLUEBEARD’S WIFE TALE????? oh THIS IS SO SEXY AND BIG BRAIN OH MY GOD im kissing your brain holy shit love love love noel as bluebeard, collecting and keeping memorabilia from his devoted followers (turn lovers? can we even call them that), only the best and the most beautiful, his secrets, his to keep, and then finding this beautiful songbird and deciding this one will be the last. the only one will ever need to keep. oh man oh god oh fuck AND LIAM AS BLUEBEARD’S WIFE. AS THE GOTHIC HEROINE!!!!!! wandering around his new home where noel’s devoted followers worship him alongside their savior but keep silent like a ghost. oh man i know their wedding is ritualistic as hell (and voyeuristic!) and their followers are /basking/ in this supposed divinity. And Noel using this as a way to solidify their status at the top, to his followers he’s masking this ecstasy, passion, and possession as holiness that perhaps will save them too (but of course it wont)
