i don’t see taako and barry’s friendship explored nearly enough in modern AUs. give me these dumb dumb boys being idiot best friends together whenever lup is busy. i want barry being dragged along shopping with taako and suggesting terrible clothes for him to try on only for taako to manage to pull them off. give me barry convincing taako to use an ouija board with him to see what will happen. taako doesn’t believe in that stuff but he ends up getting creeped out anyway and burning it in the backyard afterwards
Lup is out of town, so Barry is staying with Taako for the weekend.
(“Where did she say she was going?”
“She said she had a business trip”
“Don’t you guys have the same job?”)
Taako decides to do the good brother-in-law thing and take Barry fantasy thrifting. They decide that they’re going to pick out outfits for each other to wear for Lup’s homecoming.
BUT THE THING IS they’ve had a prank war going for some time now, and Barry realizes this is how Taako is going to get him, so he picks out the most hideous clothes he can find. Something like this:
Just AWFUL.
Anyway they make their purchases, and leave, and Barry is v smug thinking there’s no way the outfit Taako picked for him is going to be worse than the one he bought for Taako.
A day or two later, Lup rings home on her stone of farspeech to let them know she’ll be be home in an hour or so, so the boys trade shopping bags, and Barry opens his, a little bit terrified of what he’s going to have to wear for the rest of he day, and it’s… good. There’s a nice new denim jacket with some faded patches sewn onto it, and dark jeans that are worn in all the right places.
And Barry has a sudden realization that- Oh Shit! This wasn’t part of the prank war. So he runs out, ready to explain what happened, so he won’t feel like as much of an asshole. He hears Taako’s voice from behind the door,
“You know, Barold, I did have my doubts, but…”
And he walks out and he is pulling it off FLAWLESSLY. Barry is speechless. Taako tells him he has an eye for fashion, and pulls him in into a hug. Barry is so relieved that he doesn’t notice Taako sticking a note that reads ‘hug me’ onto his back. He is hunted ruthlessly by the rest of the IPRE (mostly Magnus and Lup) for the rest of the day.

It’s messy drama all the way down, with the time lords. None of them have even an ounce of chill, and every last one of them is my favorite problematic child.
Concept: Tarvek and Anevka as a sibling ice dance duo. They compete against Gil and Zeetha, who have the added bonus of being twins.
The Sturmvoraus kids are good at spins and flexibility, known for their amazing costumes and flair for drama, while the Wulfenbach twins are known for their lifts and absurdly powerful skating.
Agatha’s a commentator who is very much crushing on both boys and Very Obvious About It, and an old friend of Zeetha’s.
I love this because Agatha’s obvious thirst would. Quickly go viral. Like, one side of this is a sports story about the actual characters, but the other side is absolutely an outsider POV social media comedy where Agatha accidentally rises from a gainfully employed no-name to somebody dominating two knowyourmeme articles because she once went unf out loud on international television after Gil finished a spin in a pose that just…really showed off his…general…torso…qualities. She’s mortified. Lilith was watching that. Lilith was watching right after when she tried to play down her Gil thirst and accidentally played up her Tarvek thirst in the ensuing rant instead and didn’t catch on to what she was doing until she’d dug a grave-deep hole.
(But they probably all end up together at the end, so at least there’s some payoff.)
