Chapter 11: Popcorn Interludes Part 1

Summary:

In no particular order, in fact very much out of order, a series of videos Myfanwy made and deleted over the course of the story...
Part 1 of 2 Popcorn interludes.

Notes:

These are all cannon in my story, but out of order, mostly for LOLs, don’t do much for the plot. But i figured y'all deserve something while i toil away on the final few chapters that i cannot seem to finish. No seriously, they literally have swaths of "PUT STUFF HERE WITH FEELINGS"

Chapter Text

Video 1

Myfanwy standing in front of the whiteboard “Right, so... Gestalt.” She points “Important to know, if you’ve spoken to one you’ve spoken to all. It will take some time for you to figure their power out. It took me a while and...” she looks off into the distance and puts one hand on her hip, the other on her forehead “fuck. Shit shit shit. That isn’t how I want to explain it to them”  She reaches over to turn off the video.

Video 2

Myfanwy sitting on her sofa in the middle of the day, staring blankly at the screen. A shocked expression on her face. “So, I um. Right. Dear.. Dear you. I’m you and.. right, Oh god, We just had sex with Gestalt. Well half.. one fourth of..” Her voice and face turn frantic. “OH MY GOD I CANNOT LOSE MY MEMORY NOW… wait” she leans forward to the screen to examine her neck “Is that a hickey?”

Video 3

A very drunk Myfanwy appears on screen in front of her whiteboard of photos. She points with a wine bottle at the four printed out photos of Gestalt. Clearly, she has given up on the pretense of using a glass.

 

“This is Gestalt, the best agent the Che..Check..Sheecquy has ever ever EVER had. And the best ass you have ever had,” she dissolves into laughter. “Ass plural ha-” stumbles, and more falls then sits down in the rolling chair with a cackle and rolls mostly off the screen.

 

“oh god” she is heard saying waving her hand holding the wine bottle back into frame “I am fucked. Times four! I.. Oh shit,” She rolls out of frame and there is a crashing sound.

 

The chair rolls back into frame sans Myfanwy. From off screen her voice can be heard. “They have fucked our plans, possibly broken our vagina, and it was totally worth-”

Video 4,  

Myfanwy in the middle of a rant while in front of the whiteboard pointing at Gestalt pictures again. “- is a controlling asshole and you have feelings for them. Very complicated old feelings. I am very sorry to throw that all on you. It’s not exactly fair of me to just… oh hell, I shouldn’t even tell you this,” She paces in the tight space “But it’s going to come up… and you know what? It’s not fair because I had to wait over 15 years and you get to just pretend to be me and slip right back into bed with them and that’s not really the point and I’m-”

Video 5

“Gestalt.” Points to white board “You’ve known them for years, they are one person, four bodies… four really good looking, very skilled bodies and skilled parts…,” voice trails off, she shakes herself then looks back at the camera “I’ll edit that out. OK, You have known them for years. They are the finest agent the Chequy has, and they are also a Rook. ”  Myfanwy begins pushing her hair over her ear. “They are your counterpart at the Checquy. And you work really well together. And… and.. You.. I might be.. no no i don’t I..oh hell” looks lost as video cuts out

 

Video 6:

Myfanwy points to a photo of Ingrid “... you do not deserve Ingrid as your assistant, she is your secret weapon.” points to photo of some speciality sweets “She can, however, be bribed”

Notes:

I was inspired in part by book Myfanwy who had almost a year to prepare and several warnings about her impending memory loss. I thought I’d give Myf more time and started rewriting, well, just about everything leading up to the pilot. Buckle up buttercups, this is going to be a long ride. Load of attempts at humor, nods to the books, an OC (I am drunk with power! blame the Rookery Discord) oh and kissing smut eventually. Rated explicit due to language and situations. Also loads of angst and ridiculous situations. Cause it’s what I do.

Love to the Rookery Discord for all their support aka relentless enthusiasm for the fandom and making bad writers feel like they can write.
