            Klaus looked at his sister as she worked on her invention. She had been working in it for days and he wasn’t sure when he had last seen her stop to eat or sleep. Sunny had asked him to take Violet some food to get her to take a break. “Hey Vi, why don’t you stop working on that invention and get something to eat.” Klaus placed the plate next to her, “Sunny made you something and wanted me to bring it to you.”

           “Huh?” To say she was exhausted would be an understatement. For the past few days, she had thrown herself into her work and had barely ate, let alone slept. The only time Violet had slept was when she had dozed off for a few hours at her work desk. “Oh, right, food. I... forgot about eating.” She gave Klaus a brief smile, grabbing the plate. “Thank you. God, I’m starving.”

       “I wasn’t trying to seek refuge from it.” Not anymore, at least. It was her decision to convince her siblings reenter civilization and all the wickedness that came with it after a year of living on a stranded island. But now, here she was -- alone, with her siblings and daughter nowhere in sight. Perhaps Klaus was right that it was best for the four of them to stay on the island, but it was only a matter of time until the wickedness of the world would’ve shown up on the store. “But I think I know when things have gone back to hell, thank you. I don’t need a stranger telling me that it hasn’t.”

HARLEY MAKES A MEME: LOVE NEVER DIES

       “I don’t know if it’s any consolation, but I believe that you’re innocent on all of this. You seem smarter than to willingly get into a fight like that.” She fiddles with the ribbon tied around her wrist, clearing her throat before continuing. After all, Violet hasn’t exactly been the nicest towards Mally since she’s arrived, making no attempt to hide how she was clearly suspicious of her. “Do... do you need any help with your wounds? My father was a doctor and I read some of his medical books, so I might be able to provide some assistants.”

Post-canon Violet/Quigley crack

The triplets are in their early twenties and Quigley thinks maybe he should try to stop being legally dead.

It’s perfectly reasonable that he hasn’t fixed it before now

He doesn’t even live on the grid anyway!!! It hasn’t come up!

It’s not tax fraud! You don’t need to file if you have no income! Volunteers don’t get paid!

Quigley vs the hellish Kafkaesque bureaucracy of the ASOUE world

As the triplets talk to bureaucrats and investigate what kind of evidence he needs to present, they realize that Duncan and Isadora can’t produce sufficient proof of their identities either (because all their official documents burned up or long ago vanished into the files of Poe or Prufrock or Esme), and they make a tactical retreat before they draw the sort of unwanted scrutiny that could get Duncan and Isadora arrested for impersonating themselves (it’s the ASOUE universe you know this could happen)

His siblings eventually insist he explain why this is suddenly a problem - Duncan’s always been happy to loan out his legal identity the few times Quigley’s needed one, even after the overdue books incident. And why have the Baudelaires been conspicuously absent for this whole adventure?

Quigley reluctantly explains he’s been thinking about his relationship with Violet lately and he’s ready for a lifelong commitment. He doesn’t want to talk about marriage with her until he knows he’ll be able to get married if that’s what she wants. (also everyone kind of has a point about how it’s a little ridiculous he’s still legally dead)

Happy ending: Quigley does the sensible thing and explains the situation to his girlfriend before investing any more time and energy and Violet’s like “frankly I have no interest in marriage after what Olaf tried to do to me” and they live happily ever after, secure in the commitments they make to each other regardless of their legal status.

          Old dynamite littered the ground in this alleyway, most no longer usable, but best to be taken in anyways. She could think of something to make out of it. Bag filled slowly but surely as the mouse found what had been discarded, only to take for herself and rebuild. Wasn’t long before she heard a cough from the waters below her, wandering closer towards the edge where she saw a girl trying to swim towards land. Eyes glowed a light blue as the river furled upwards, depositing the girl onto the ground by her– eyes returning to their brown hue, she seemed a bit young of an oyster to be there. But, she didn’t see the White Rabbit’s marking on her, either. Maybe a member of the resistance, or another runaway.

          “ Oi, you alright? Seem to have fallen in a bit of a hit there. Gotta be careful here, lots of dud explosives, but y’never know which are gonna work. Where are ya from, kid? “ 

         She’s coughing and spluttering, trying her best to swim to shore. Everything had just happened so fast -- one minute there had been a storm as she and her family were peacefully sailing back to civilization, the next she was waking up alone inside a box. It was easy enough to escape from it, only to be greeted to the unfortunate fact that the box was being transferred over water upon falling into it. However, perhaps some luck was on her side, as it didn’t take much longer to reach shore where a woman was standing. Sitting up, Violet pushed some wet hair out of her face and looked at the woman.

         “I’m... I’m fine, I think. Just a long fall. Wait, did you just say dud explosives?” Instead of crawling away from them, she begins to crawl towards the nearest one while muttering to herself. “Right, it shouldn’t be too hard to get this thing to set off, but not without...” Her attention turns back to the woman. “Do you have any matches? Actually, wait, have you seen a teenage boy, a toddler, and a baby? They’re my family. I need to find them before they end up in one of those boxes like I was.”
