Okay, so I have so much going on right now, but as I’m casually strolling through Tumblr, I realized there’s been something I’ve always wanted, but I’ve never done.
Basically, Virgil and Patton are the proud parents of Logan and Roman, and they’ve recently moved into a new neighborhood. Their neighbors are all weird but nice (and they swear one is a cryptid), they have no idea how they raised such c o m p e t i t i v e children but they love them no matter what, and just trying to get through life.
Like, Patton is that supportive stay-at-home dad you see at like everything, and the kids all know him by name and call him [activity] Dad.
Virgil is a nurse and just got a job at the local hospital, hence the move, and probably hasn’t slept in a few days because everything has been stressing him out.
Roman is a 16 year old drama queen, more theatrical than a Broadway play, failing math but when in his life is he going to need the Pythagorean theorem??? and just driving Virgil all kinds of nuts.
Logan is the 14 year old prodigy, probably wrote a 10 page essay on why his parents should let him buy the entire series of “Elementary,” and hates whenever Patton shows up at his debate meetings because “oh my god dad you can’t just yell “get ‘em Lolo!” in the middle of a debate??”
Thomas is their neighbor on the right, has practically been living in the same house since he was born (his parents let him have it when they moved), and is Roman’s drama teacher/creative writing teacher/very concerned as to why Logan took creative writing.
Deceit is their neighbor on the left, runs and works at a reptile sanctuary in town, and s w e a r s his giant python “Monty” keeps escaping on its own and he is not letting it out to sunbathe on Virgil’s car whenever Virgil has to work in the afternoon.
Remy is a 19 year old college drop-out who spends most of his time talking on the phone outside at 3 am rather L O U D L Y to his best friend Toby, who spends weekends at his house getting smashed on apple juice.
Picani is a therapist that works in Virgil’s hospital, and Virgil uses him as an advice column when things are getting a little too much, because he has the same calming aura that Patton does.
Just… a slice of life fic that I’ve been thinking about.
