Tales From The Wednesday-Verse

EXTRA: FICLETS 

 

Compilation of two ficlets written by haveawish in Tumblr, inspired by Kooky Spooky. The integrity of the texts and spelling has been maintained and both are published here with permission of the author.

 

This first ficlet was written in September 2023, shortly after the introduction of Saint-Clair in Kooky Spooky. It was still so early in the story's development that this ficlet cannot fit into the later “canon” (as much canon a fanfic can have) of the story, but it is not impossible to imagine a similar moment or conversation between the two Enids.

You cand find it HERE.

 

The group of ragtag "friends" have been hunting the rogue Hyde for a couple of hours now when Enid notices something about her brown haired doppelganger.

Woe & Wednesday are leading the pack in front with the two Enids defending the rear of the group, when Enid turns to make a conversion with her 'twin' , when she notices a lost look on her face, looking at Woe with both longing and ...fear?

"Hey" Enid whispered concerned to her new friend.

"You ok over there" Enid smiled trying to keep her voice light.

Saint Claire looked over at Enid, eyes swirling with emotions that looked so unfamiliar on a face that was so identical.

Saint Claire let out an almost inaudible sigh, all sense of bravo leaving the woman.

"I always believed Willa when she spoke about her adventures, even when I first met her, I knew she wasn't one to lie for the sake of it, but seeing you...it's brought up alot of things I thought I had shut out a long time ago" Saint Claire broke eye contact with Enid, returning her eyes to her headstrong mate.

"You know the only reason Willa came to Nevermore was to find you. To find the blonde haired sunshine Werewolf who warmed her heart for the first time, instead she got me. " Saint Claire returned her eyes to Enid a sad smile twisting her lips. A smile that didn't suite the usually happy woman.

"I comforted myself with the knowledge that Willa grew to love me for me. That you were dimensions away with your own Wednesday and that I was the one there with her...but you turning up has brought back all those feelings of not being enough. Of not being the one she actually wanted. Of being not only a second rate shifter in my own family but a second rate Enid as well. And I'm sorry I know its not your fault. It's not even Willa's fault but now I'm terrified that when you all leave again, Willa will just be more disappointed that I don't measure up."

Enid felt her heart breaking for Saint Claire. She couldn't help feeling guilty for something she knew wasn't her fault. She drew closer to her feline friend. Resisting the urge to hug her.

"You don't have to be me, Woe may have developed a crush on this charming face but who wouldn't " she winked and nudged the brunette, earning a reluctant smile.

" But I know the look in Woes eyes when she looks at you, it's the same look I see all the time in my Wednesday. That girl not only loves you but she 'Addams' loves you. And we both know there's nothing more powerful than when an Addams gives you their love."

Saint Claire let out a small smile at Enid before giving a tiny nod. She then plastered a slightly fake big grin on her face before stalking forward to annoy Taylor.

Enid cast her eyed to the two gothic leaders at the front when Woe caught her eye. A quick nod in thanks she recieved before Woe turned her attention back to the map in her hands.

 

 

The second ficlet, written in December 2023, describes a more humorous situation: how the relationship between Woe (the Wednesday of the 90's movies) and Saint-Clair became public in a somewhat scandalous way, narrated from the perspective of Gomez Addams.

It was a proud dark and dreary day for one Gomez Addams, the day he got a phone call from Nevermore about his darling daughter's ghastly inappropriate behavior.

To say he was worried about Wednesday was an understatement. Months had passed and not a peep from law enforcement about her time at school. No begging letters to remove her from the school from parents of her peers.  He had been expecting at least 3 murder attempts and an arson case by now.

It was deeply unsettling.

No amount of time on the torture rack with his beautiful wife could stop his worry. So much he kept eyeing Puberts silky dark locks to make sure the bouncing blonde curls hadn't made their reappearance. Sadly he and his beloved saber never had the chance to charge into the school grounds to rescue his heir from the clutches of whatever is causing her such..melancholy.

Now entering the office of a rather fetching enraged tall blonde, Gomez couldn't stop the grin on his face.

His little Wednesday Addams, caught “fornacating” on school grounds with another girl. Impaling the teacher who found them with forbidden cursed knives.

A chip of the old Addams block!

He looked to the two figures sitting in front of the desk that now housed one furious shape-shifter,  whilst helping Morticia sit in the spare chair next to Wednesday.

Wednesday sat as regal as ever, every inch  her mothers daughter. Her hastily thrown on uniform however was telling a different story. Black school tie now accidentally replaced with a blue one, buttons hastily buttoned up in the wrong order, blazer missing entirely and various red hickeys standing out gravely against a porcelain throat. Finally Lips that were trying hard to stay in a straight line were swollen and bruised.

Her paramour sitting in a relaxed carefree manor, her arm around the back of Wednesday's chair. Long fingers playing with the stray hairs that had escaped Wednesday's usually immaculate braids. Fingers that were surprisingly still attached to her hand thought Gomez.

The young scoundrel's uniform matching Wednesday's in disarray, but somehow worse. The few buttons she had left on her shirt, only buttoned up enough to not cause her poor principal an aneurysm. Black tie partly hanging out her trousers pocket. Brown hair resembling a bird's nest more than anything else. And a cat that got the canary lazy grin on her blushing face.

Gomez decided at that moment that the Addams family surely had found a new member.
