crossover_chickHappy Anniversary, Corpse Bride! Here's a link list of everything I've done online (I of course watched the movie):
A Fall Festival provides![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
deadgirlsliekme and save_us_alice with their first date!
The Twin Oaks Park Van Dorts get a rather slapdash entry inrevison_doc's LJ. It was a bit of a frustration run playing them, since I was desperate to get that smart milk! But hey, at least Lorina has all her necessary toddler skills now.
There's a party at the Inkwell, and this one is WAY more exciting that the BTTF 25th's ice cream social. You'll definitely want to read what's happened. (And if anyone wants to go visit, go ahead.)
Tie-Twister makes a brief mention in the muse journal of the date's significance. He's kind of busy, so I think you can forgive him.
Victor Plush also mentions the date. Hey, it's technically an anniversary for him too.
And now, for my final trick, the last of my One Sentence couples. This is another threesome set, and I'm sure you can guess who they're about:
Victor/Victoria/Emily:
Theme Set One
1. Harmony – When they play together – Victor and Emily confident and skilled, Victoria hesitant and learning – it creates perfect harmony, in Victor’s opinion.
2. Manners – Victor can’t decide whether it was being too polite for his own good or not polite enough that landed him with two women – which means he can’t figure out how to keep acting like that so they’ll stay.
3. Sync – The only two people Victor had ever felt truly in sync with were Victoria and Emily.
4. Focus – It had to be the strangest moment of his life so far, waking up with a blinding headache – and when his eyes came back into focus, finding himself nestled between two women.
5. Leap – Entering into a relationship with three partners is a leap for all of them – but it’s a leap they’re willing to take to all be happy.
6. Park – One of their first acts as a newly dead threesome is to go on a picnic in one of the Land of the Dead forests.
7. Ride – Mayhew thinks he prefers being the carriage driver to the younger Van Dorts – even with two women riding back there, it’s still quieter than any trip he took with William and Nell.
8. Cotton – Emily had expected to wear her wedding dress for the rest of eternity – but when Victoria presented her with the simple cotton one she had sewed herself, well, Emily just had to make a switch.
9. Candy – Emily’s lips were surprisingly sweet, Victoria realized, and just as nice to kiss as Victor’s.
10. Frosting – Mrs. Plum offers to let the three of them lick the spoon after she frosts their wedding cake (Victor is violently sick for a hour after trying it).
11. Hair – Victor would never admit so out loud, but he prefers Emily’s long and loose hair to Victoria’s tight bun.
12. Hold – Emily guides their hands together, as is only right – and is taken completely by surprise as they grab hers, unwilling to let her go.
13. Picture – Victor isn’t sure what possessed him to draw a sketch of him, Victoria, and Emily together, but upon seeing it completed, he realized that it just looked – right.
14. Movie – It wasn’t the fact that their lives were merely a movie that upset them, nor the fact that they were puppets and not people – no, what got under their skin were the people who insisted on tearing down Victoria or Emily for something called “shipping.”
15. Music – Victor and Emily were only too eager to start showing Victoria the true wonders of the piano.
16. Paradise – Curled up against the both of them in the coffin they’ve modified, Victor thinks that this truly must be Paradise.
17. Garden – Victor and Victor noticed after a while that their garden was always filled with familiar blue butterflies, and were glad Emily had found a way to stay with them.
18. Feather – Victoria feels Emily’s arm around her, light as a feather and yet firm enough to pull her away from the collapsing pews, and briefly thinks that, for the arm of a corpse, it’s actually not so bad.
19. Cloud – The cloud of blue butterflies that surround them as they exit the house after their wedding let Victor and Victoria know that Emily approves.
20. Dust – Victoria worries about the future in the Land of the Dead – about rotting away to nothing, never to be with the people she loves again.
21. Wedding – One wouldn’t think you could have a wedding with two brides – Victor, however, decided that he would settle for nothing less.
22. Band – Bonejangles and the Bone Boys insisted on writing the three of them a new song once word of their new relationship got out.
23. Play – The word “hopscotch” always makes them giggle now.
24. Time – Now, finally, they have all the time in the world to be together.
25. Spent – After making up with Emily as best he could (but fearing it wasn’t enough) and then finding out Victoria was marrying another man, Victor couldn’t help but feel rather spent.
26. Worship – When they’re in church, both Victor and Victoria often offer up a brief prayer to Emily, wishing her happiness in the afterlife – and promising her that they’ll all meet again, one day.
27. Life – Victor enjoys life as best he can, but some part of him is always looking forward to the end – because then he’ll be with both the women he loves again.
28. Pray – The night before his wedding to Victoria, Victor prays forgiveness because though he loves her, he also loves Emily.
29. Knees – When Emily tells him she can’t marry him, that he’s not hers, for a moment all Victor wants to do is get down on his knees and beg her not to reject him too – because he can’t stand losing both the women he loves.
30. Zombie – Victor knew he should give his heart solely to his living bride – but there was just something about the dead one which attracted him.
31. Skeleton – Bonejangles, looking at the three of them in front of Elder Gutknecht, decided this was both the weirdest and the best wedding he’d ever been best man at.
32. Closet – Victor tried to shove his inappropriate feelings into a mental closet – first his feelings for Emily when he was trying to return to Victoria, then his feelings for Victoria when he agreed to marry Emily – but, somehow, the door simply wouldn’t stay shut.
33. Space – Victoria knows that she doesn’t own all of Victor’s heart, that he’ll always have a space there for Emily – and for some reason, it doesn’t bother her like she thinks it should.
34. Coat – They never did go back and retrieve his suitcoat from the Ball & Socket.
35. Hang – Hang custom, hang propriety, hang all the rules – he was in love with them both, and he wasn’t afraid to admit it anymore.
36. Tang – Even now, years later, Victor can recall the taste of Emily’s lips just as much as Victoria’s.
37. Sour – Whenever the Van Dorts or the Everglots talked badly about “that awful corpse bride,” it left a sour taste in Victor and Victoria’s mouths.
38. Grapes – Victor would have doffed the poisoned wine in a heartbeat had Emily not stopped him and returned him to Victoria.
39. Palace – The house they managed to procure was an old dusty place, much smaller than the grand houses all three of them had grown up in – but because they were together, it was wonderful.
40. Maid – In the living world, Hildegarde is the only one who really seems to accept them.
41. Queen – The care and attention Victor gives them makes both Victoria and Emily feel like queens.
42. King – Victor had never expected to feel like the king of his own little castle, but then again, he’d never expected to make a home with two women who absolutely adored him.
43. Prince – James grows up a little spoiled, but when you have two mothers to dote on you, that’s probably a given.
44. Princess – There was never any doubt in their minds what they would name a daughter – it would be their own personal tribute to the selfless corpse bride they both remember so fondly.
45. Tower – Standing there in Elder Gutknecht’s tower, the three of them desperately clinging to one another, was one of the most torturous moments of Victor’s life.
46. Rescue – They’d all managed to rescue each other in the end – Emily from an eternity of waiting, Victoria from a marriage made in hell, and Victor from a dull, colorless life.
47. Knight – Despite his protests, Victoria and Emily would always think of Victor as their knight in shining armor.
48. Pawn – Victor hates being his parents’ pawn – but he has to admit, without their interference, he would have never met the women he loves.
49. Consolation – Although she’ll never get to be a proper bride now, the knowledge that Victor was willing to sacrifice himself for her, and that Victoria will care for him as much as she would have, eases the hurt.
50. Prize – He’d do anything if the end result meant he could stay with both of them forever.
The universes are "canon," "Reaper Man/Living Threesome," and "Post-Death Threesome." I'm sure you can tell which is which. ;)
Okay, I think I'm done. *falls over*
-RPD: *looks me over* I dread to think what you're planning for Alice's anniversary.-
Not anything like this, I can tell you that much!
Oh, and as a side note -- finished Witches Abroad, am starting Small Gods. Fun times in Pratchett Land. :)
