That time Harry Hook and Chad Charming were vampires

Yes, I have been watching legacies

Y’all-

Whoever’s running the descendants Instagram page knows exactly what they’re doing…

What VK do you think would make the best (or least bad) parent?

It’s that time again…Chapter two of lost boy babeeeeyyy!

Chapter two: Gil

The bubbles cleared and they woke up in echoey darkness

“Uma? Uma!”

Gil called out in a panic, calming down once he felt her hard punch to his arm

“I’m right here, nimrod!”

Uma chided him before letting out a sound of disgust. Wherever they were…it smelled putrid

“But…where are we?”

Gil’s eyes had adjusted to the darkness. The walls were lined with rust and it smelled of mold…huh, just like the Isle. Were they transported to a goblin prison? If they messed with the goblins, wow were they in trouble. From above him he could see two small pinholes of light

“Wait, what’s that?”

Gil pushed on the roof and the light flooded in

“Looks like you found a way out”

Uma got on her toes and reached for the opening, sure enough there was a ledge and a rusty ladder in front of them

“Guess we should head on up, see what’s up there”

She suggested as she reached for her sword…only to find it not there.

The two climbed up the ladder and were surrounded by brick buildings and fire escapes. Gil looked at Uma and his eyes went wide again

“Uma, your hair!”

He took a lock of it in his hand, her teal braids were gone, demoted to streaks in a sea of dark brown. Uma looked at her hair in shock, but her attention was quickly redirected by the sound of drunken stumbling coming their way, Uma and Gil quickly turned their attention to the figure stumbling toward them. For a drunk he was pretty well dressed, a black silk top with black pants, pearls and a gold chain around his neck, the only thing that felt out of place on him was his scruffy hair. The mystery boy raised his head for a moment and Uma and Gil got a look at his piercing blue eyes, just like…

“Harry?”

Gil called out, the drunk looked his way which was confirmation enough for Gil that this was his boyfriend, they found him. Gil ran toward Harry and pulled him into his arms

“W-woah, hold it…I don’t do second nights”

Once Harry opened his mouth Gil realized it wasn’t Harry, this guy didn’t have an accent and he was much colder. Gil let go of not-Harry and looked at him confused, not-Harry returned the look

“Who…”

Gil trailed off, but was promptly interrupted by a very concerned looking Uma

“You ok?”

She asked. Not-Harry glanced up at her for a moment with a look that said he was having trouble holding his liquor and groaned out

“I’m fine”

He said breathlessly, though he was swaying on his feet

“...what’s your name?”

Uma came closer to get a better look at this imposter Harry

“...Max”

He said as he became more unsteady on his feet. Gil gently took Max by his shoulders to keep him steady

“Alright, Max. sorry about my boyfriend he’s just…excited”

Uma sighed

“Can you tell us where we are?”

Even Gil knew this guy wouldn’t be able to give a straight answer, he looked like he didn't even know where he was with that glazed over stare. Max tried for a sentence but instead his knees buckled as he coughed which then turned to gagging and a puddle of alcohol and bile on the floor. Max promptly passed out in Gil’s arms before he could try to talk again…well, he may not be Harry, but he sure got drunk like he was.

Gil and Uma stared at him for a moment before Gil put his fingers to Max’s pulse and gave Uma a thumbs up

“He’s alive”

Gil watched as Uma took Max’s face in her hands, he was out like a light and didn’t even stir when Uma touched him

“He…he looks just like him”

She mumbled

“How…”

Gil watched as Uma continued to examine Max’s face with laser focus, the resemblance was uncanny, all this Max guy needed was some eyeliner and he’d look just like Harry

“We should probably get him home”

Uma sighed

“But…we don’t know where he lives…or where we are”

Gil reminded. Uma dug through Max’s pockets until she found his phone, which was conveniently unlocked

“And now we do”

She sarcastically remarked. Gil watched as Uma went through Max’s phone

“We are in…the west village”

She announced with a confused look on her face

“What’s that?”

Gil asked

“I…don’t know…”

She trailed

“But, it looks like he doesn’t live far”

Uma showed Gil the phone screen and a dot labeled “dad” wasn’t terribly far from their dot. Gil took the hint, hoisted Max over his shoulder, and he and Uma made the trek to an unknown man’s house in the middle of the night. As they walked, Gil would watch Uma, it was weird seeing her with brown hair, she looked…less magical, but not in a bad way! Probably, he’s just used to Uma being a magical pirate sea witch. Honestly, this entire place felt less magical, where were the dwarfs? The fairies and well…everything magical, this place, the west village felt so dull, it looked pretty but…it felt wrong, Gil found himself getting claustrophobic as Uma led him through the unnervingly quiet streets, normally this would mean they were getting attacked…but nothing came

An hour later (yeah, Gil forgot he and Uma have different definitions of “far”) Uma, Gil, and a still passed out Max arrived at what was presumably his house. Uma knocked on the door and surprisingly, they got an answer. A man in a silk robe with shoulder length red hair answered the door. He looked Uma and Gil up and down and looked at them slightly confused

“Can I help you?”

The man asked with a look that was silently telling them “Go away, weirdos”

“We found your son”

Gil gently slung Max off his shoulder and presented the unconscious drunk to his father

“He’s alive, we checked”

The man looked at Gil even more confused than before, but nodded his appreciation that Gil and Uma brought his son home alive. The two brought Max inside and hoisted him into bed. No other words were spoken between the pirates and the man, they simply dropped off Max and left, having no clue where to go or where they were.

I have some thoughts…

1. Why do red’s pants look like that? I like the cut, as someone who wears flared jeans everyday…but I don’t like the pattern

2. The shades of red and blue are nice

3. Chloe’s shoes unnerve me

4. Chloe’s hair looks nice

...i hate it

What's this? Chapter one of lost boy?!

I'm almost done with chapter two so as a little easter treat, here's the full first chapter of lost boy- the descendants/gossip girl 21 crossover fic

Chapter one: Uma

Chapter one: Uma

Honestly, the past week couldn’t have gone worse for Uma and Gil.

Ever since the barrier around the isle of the lost was taken down, a new villain was trying to stage a coup every other day. It was manageable though, and the problem was being solved as laws were put in place in an attempt to stop these impertinent villains 

But then Harry went missing 

They were dealing with none other than Uma’s own mother, Ursula. She said something about Auradon being weak because of their insistence on believing in “true love” and the rest was a blur…but by the time they all came back to…all that was left of Harry was his silver hook. No one was actually sure if he died, search parties were sent all around Auradon to try and find him, the brave ones went to Neverland to see if the sea witch stashed him with the lost boys but, no one could find him…so they had to assume

Harry Hook was dead…and there wasn’t even a body to bury. An empty grave, marked by the Hook family crest and a headstone, was plotted just off the shore, inscribed 

Harrison Liam Hook

Son, Brother, First mate

It was the first time anyone ever saw Captain Hook cry, the usually psychotic and drunken lunatic was in tears for his son…his only son, presumed dead. First his wife, now his boy. Uma couldn’t help but feel sympathy for the old pirate, Harry was her first mate, partner in crime, her best friend. They would both die and kill for each other, no questions asked…and now he’s gone, a…a lost boy, never to be seen again. Uma looked to Gil who was barely holding back tears, she took his hand in hers and gave it a quick squeeze 

“It’s ok…we’ll find him”

She tried to comfort, but Gil looked like he had lost hope

“We looked everywhere…”

He whimpered

“And we’re not giving up. He’s out there, I know it”

Uma insisted, her free hand traveling to her belt where she kept Harry’s hook

“We’ll find him”

The days passed by, and Uma had the lost revenge crew working overtime for any signs that Harry was still out there, though most of them had come to terms with the fact that he wasn’t coming back, they just didn’t dare to go against their captain’s orders. They’d search high and low, always checking two to three extra times…no sign. Uma always kept Gil with her while they searched, always going to places where Ursula would be both likely and unlikely to stash a hostage. The chip shop's storage room, her old grotto, Atlantica’s seaside shipyard, anywhere and everywhere and still nothing. It got bad enough that Gil punched a wall in frustration, something he wasn’t proud of…made him feel like his dad in a bad way. One night, they were searching down by the shore, walking over to the empty grave of their lover, at least if they couldn’t find him, they could still say hello. They stood at the grave hand-in-hand, as usual…nothing was there but the Hook crest and the stone

“Hi, Harry”

Gil said with a sigh. He fished into his pocket and pulled out a silver pocket watch, he held it in his palm for a moment before placing it at the base of the stone, joining the rest of the small trinkets left there in the pirate’s honor

“...please come home”

He whispered as a tear rolled down his cheek. Uma also had an offering, three pearls she tied together with a thin piece of twine, one for each of them. She twirled the pearls between her fingers and watched the moonlight shimmer off their surfaces. She liked how the pearls felt between her fingers, smooth and cold like marble. They made her think of Harry, the way his hair would blow in the breeze, the way his eyes would sparkle when on the water, even his maniacal laugh. While lost in her thoughts, she pressed too hard on the twine and it snapped, sending one of the pearls rolling into the water, never to be seen again…

“How apt”

Uma sighed. She placed the remaining pearls on the base of the grave, kissed her fingers, then touched them to the grave

“Come on, Gil…let’s go”

Uma and Gil turned away to walk back to ship empty handed when they heard…twinkling? They turned around to see the ocean illuminated teal and flecks of glitter flying off the surface

“That…wasn’t there before”

Gil pointed at the water as his eyes went wide 

“You don’t say”

Uma said to her boyfriend sarcastically. She stared into the water and couldn’t help but feel…drawn to it. Uma let go of Gil’s hand and walked toward the water, as she got closer, the teal faded from her hair and she seemed…less magical

“Uma?”

She heard Gil call out, she didn’t answer, she simply kept walking toward the water, which was beginning to steam

“Uma!”Gil ran after her, but also ran into her, sending them both crashing into the mysterious mystery water in a flurry of bubbles and screams

Opinions on Luna La/Max?

I like them as friends

They’re both strong characters independently and have a fun dynamic as friends but I don’t think they’d ever evolve into a romantic relationship seeing as they both have fears regarding commitment and making any fling they have permanent (Luna and Rob- Max w/ Aki and Audrey pre throuple)

Overall, they both deserved more screen time and they make good friends, but I don’t think they’d work as a couple

[bucket-barnes]

Hey I know I’m focused on writing lost boy right now but I just wanna show y’all the amount of work I did for my first fic- sunlilly

I use google slides for damn near all of my writing projects (both fanfic and otherwise) because I’m bad at describing outfits (though I’ve gotten better) and I don’t like putting outfit images in my fics when they’re posted to Wattpad because it messes up the flow

As for outfits- I still go in and tweak where it feels needed but I have an outfit for every milestone plot in sunlilly because 15 year old bucket found it necessary to run through the entire descendants franchise and then some

I also made a whole ass PLAYLIST for Sunlilly- it is not organized in the slightest but it covers the basics. Here it is if you want to see it

Anyway- there will probably be a similar creative process for lost boy because old money aesthetics can be quite difficult especially in this case where I’m working with two completely different worlds

Anyway, if you are the one person waiting for lost boy (I know who you are, you are the only person who leaves notes on the lost boy posts) here’s sunlilly to hold you over: warning, I wrote this when I was 14/15 almost two years ago and in three months at that with any edits being made very recently. It is dramatic and created for the sole purpose of me venting bisexual frustration

…also here’s the slideshow

[bucket-barnes]

Will you finish the Max/Uma/Gil fic before posting or will you do it chapter by chapter?

(How’s it coming along, btw?)

Going well, though because Max is a character I hold so dear it’s kinda stressful to write for him 😅

I’ll post by chapter, the first one is already complete but I want to finish at least the first three before I post anything

It also flows in a similar way to the heroes of Olympus books where it follows a character at a time

[bucket-barnes]

Will you post the Max/Uma/Gil fic here or on AO3?

both- post it here, then leave a link to AO3

[bucket-barnes]

How are you planning for Max/Uma/Gil to meet?

You’ll just have to wait and see👀

But a hint…think enchanted meets rebel without a cause

[bucket-barnes]

If you’ve written anything of the Max/Uma/Gil…

Can we PLEASE get a snippet? Pretty pretty please?

Ok- as a little treat

An excerpt from chapter one of ‘Lost boy’

…

They were dealing with none other than Uma’s own mother, Ursula.

Will your Max/Uma/Gil fic include GG posts? Or because it takes place post-second season, GG is truely gone?

Since I’ve toyed with my own version of a hypothetical season 3 of GG just for my own amusement- maybe, it could be done I’d just have to be smart about it

[bucket-barnes]

You asked to be asked about Max but what about a request?

Like Max returning to school in a new healthy throuple. And maybe they look like a captain of the Lost Revenge and a strong golden retriever third mate of another universe?

I do love a good challenge…challenge accepted

(Some creative liberties were taken in character designs for the sake of it making sense for the gossip girl universe)

- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -

It had been five months since the breakup, Aki and Audrey thought they could make it work but…it just wasn’t the same without Max, they just…didn’t work without him. Maybe they weren’t meant to be…but they had to work as a duo again, it’s not like Max wants to ever see them again- but they saw him

It was a Wednesday, Aki and Audrey were on their way to the MET steps to meet up with the rest of the group, when who do they see but Max…and who are those people with him? And why were they so close to him?!

No, no, no- this won’t slide, no one gets that touchy with their boyf- ok, maybe no longer boyfriend, but they still have a right to protect him!

They were a girl and a boy, the girl had eyes like fall leaves and strands of teal woven into her jet black braids. Her wrists were adorned with gold bracelets and her earrings were pearls, but the most peculiar thing was her necklace. A gold naughtilus shell. She was holding Max’s hand and it looked like he hung on every word she said

As for the boy…Audrey was ashamed to admit what she thought when she saw him. He was built like a Greek god with his muscles practically ripping his shirt off, his blonde hair was pulled back in a ponytail with a few strands hanging out, and his eyes were blue, but not the cold, piercing blue like Max’s, they were a warm and friendly blue, like a summer day. The boy was laying in Max’s lap, listening to the conversation with a goofy smile on his face while Max mindlessly stroked his hair

Max himself seemed different…was he wearing eyeliner?

Aki and Audrey walked up to Max and tried for smiles, but before they could get a word out, they were stopped by the girl with the brown eyes

“No”

One simple word cut them down, there was so much power behind it that Aki and Audrey had to stop in their tracks. Max looked up at his exes with unamused disdain, upon further inspection, he was wearing eyeliner

“I thought I said I never want to see you again”

His grip on the girl’s hand tightened

“We were hoping you’d introduce us to your new friends!”

Aki continued trying for that smile and failing miserably

“I thought you were our boyfriend?”

The boy in Max’s lap spoke up

“…boyfriend?”

Audrey stuttered which got a sigh out of Max

“Yes. This is my boyfriend, Graham and my girlfriend, Ulani”

Max explained with an annoyed scoff, wanting this conversation to end as soon as possible. Aki and Audrey looked at Max with shock, then down at Graham and Ulani…what was it with them? Why did they feel so…off?

They didn’t look like Constance students, honestly they kinda looked like they raided Max’s closet and just went with it. They looked like they were dressed as pirates…really fashionable pirates

“How…how did you meet?”

Audrey asked as her voice went up an octave

“Not your business, princess”

Ulani stared daggers into Audrey. For whatever reason, Ulani did not like Audrey. Did Max talk about her and Aki to his new partners? Why was Ulani so terrifying? And why did she smell like the ocean? They are in the middle of Manhattan!

Ulani and Graham started to seem possessive. Graham was no longer lying on Max’s lap and instead had his arm around his waist, and Ulani was practically gripping to Max’s hand and looked like she was ready to charge if her or Aki made the slightest move towards Max

…Ulani and Graham…huh

So while writing this I realized there was so much potential in this concept so I decided “fuck it! I’m writing a fic” when’s it coming? Eventually- we’ll see how much gets done- but it’ll happen!

[bucket-barnes]

Damnit ever since I sent you that ask about Max Wolfe requests my mind has begun making a story and I can’t STOP it.

So.

Uma and Gil are fighting some major villains because Mal’s bringing down the barrier freed them. Harry is killed by Ursula as a ‘lesson’ on how love weakens you. Uma reacts with a powerful force of magic that is pretty much because of an emotional outburst. Her and Gil are flung into the world of GG. They meet Max post season two and, while trying to NOT think of him as their Harry, fall in love with him. Throuple with Max learning polyamory CAN be healthy and all that shit. Return to school and some angst between Max and Audrey/Aki. Uma doesn’t like them lmao. Pretty much high school drama and then some nice fluff of Max finally being treated right.

And yeah. That’s what my mind has come up with. This isn’t a request I just had to blabber about it and get it out of my head. Thanks!

I actually had a similar thought process in the first draft of your request. In the descendants universe, something happen to Harry and now Uma and Gil are in a world without magic, they meet Max and just learn to adapt

However, not the route I decided to go, you’ll see once it’s posted…but now I’m tempted to play around a bit

Stay tuned~ :)
