it's friday night and my niles/cc headcanon wants to come out and play. i can't get these two out of my head.
i imagine they're still married 25 years later, both of them with silver hair and dressed impeccably. when they married, some of cc's upper-crustiness rubbed off on niles, but only in a superficial way. she still wears chanel, dior, givenchy, versace, and looks sharp in her skirts and pantsuits with jewellery. niles' wardrobe is more or less the same except more expensive. i imagine he is recovering from hip replacement surgery, which fran contributes to niles' inability to keep his hands off his wife. he doesn't refute this, but he does tell her that cc gives as good as she gets. fran tells him he doesn't need to paint a picture.
cc and niles are back in new york, having hated california. they moved back just before becoming parents to identical twin girls. they wrote their own joke when they came out as brunettes, and their mother had to pretend not to know where the brunette genes came from. it is niles' longest running joke and even the twins, who are now 24, occasionally like to tell people they have "mummy's hair."
the twins are quite unlike their parents and cc blames this fact on the "hippie forest school" niles insisted on sending them for their elementary education where she claims they learned to tie-dye before learning to read. cc had wanted a prep school, but niles insisted on a waldorf education. cc eventually gave in, partly because niles was very convincing with his mouth and hands, and partly because deep down, she was miserable and alone in her own educational experience. she did wish niles had found a better compromise, rolling her eyes when the parents' orientation at the twins' school provided a vegan, gluten-free (and booze-free *gasp*) spread. she threatened her husband and threw him her best glares, but he promised to do that thing she really liked in the hot tub that night, so she let it be.
the twins grew and their parents doted on them, even and especially their mother. and they absolutely adored her. they think she is so funny, even though she isn't trying to be. twin #1 is a pansexual vegan in law school who once chained herself to a tree to protest cutting down the rainforest. cc was upset that her "lesbian" daughter wouldn't let her throw a coming out party and niles had to run interference. she had pouted about it for weeks, even saying she didn't mind twin #1 was vegan. coming out parties are so passé, twin #1 claimed. niles reminded cc that twin #1 was going to law school so she could defend her mother against future lawsuits from terrified choreographers, thus saving her money. niles reminded twin #1 of the 33-hour labour her mother was in to have her and her sister...and the drugs wore off during delivery. twin #1 offered to have a low key celebration at home where her parents could celebrate their "lesbian" daughter. "pansexual, mummy!" twin #1 would exclaim exasperatedly with a shadow of a smile on her mouth.
twin #2 attended her mother's alma mater, bryn mawr, but ended up being a yoga teacher-reiki master-massage therapist-ukulele teacher. she's currently taking a herbalism course and experimenting with aquaponics. she lives in a queer collective in brooklyn, sharing a house with 7 other people. cc keeps trying to give her money, but twin #2 is adament about making her own way. she did a couple of years in the peace corps, where she picked up an interest and talent for survival skills. she met bear grylls once and it was the highlight of her year.
though cc loves her family, she still finds great pleasure in terrifying chorus boys and making choreographers cry. she has headed her own production company since returning to new york after the very brief stint in california. she has been on countless magazine covers, has done dozens of interviews, received a gracie award and a few tonys (more than maxwell), as well as is a frequent guest lecturer for NYU theatre classes, putting the fear of god in all the students. she has good instincts and brains and broadway has taken notice. when maxwell moved back to new york from california a few years after leaving, he wanted to merge his company with cc's and bring her back onboard. she said no.
niles has become a writer. since marrying the love of his life, his writing has been described by critics as truly beautiful, inspirational, and creative. he writes plays and has a column in the new york times called "are you being served?" (pun intended). a few years back, he wrote a book of poetry under a pseudonym and it was a best seller. it made the new york times' best seller list for four months straight. reviews called it "erotic," a "love story for the ages," and a "gorgeous love letter."
it was all about cc.
fran read it and told him cc was a lucky lady. he'd responded that he was the lucky one.
they still throw zingers at one another, and the twins have come to appreciate a particularly good one, but they largely stay out of it. in high school, when going through a particularly difficult phase of behavioural challenges, they experimented with throwing them at their parents. however, their parents, being pros, ate them up and spit them out, making the twins wish they hadn't even bothered.
cc is currently taking some time off to help niles do rehab for his new "magical hip."
"baby, does this make me old?" he asked her, feeling self-conscious of the walker he temporarily uses to get around due to his hip replacement surgery.
"yes, but you've been old for 40 years, so this is nothing new."
"my hip is new."
"maybe i should get something new to go with it."
"you could use a facelift," he deadpanned. "sorry. old habits."
she leaned over and gave him a loving kiss, making promises of all the things they're going to do once he's healed
that's all for tonight, but they live rent-free in my head, so there's bound to be more.

A couple facts about C.C/Nicky in my Trial & Error AU.
Pre-Death
- Elizabeth and Mike are twins, both 15, while Nicky (C.C) is 3.
-Nicky is nonverbal autistic. It is selective, so they know how to talk, they just choose not to. Sometimes they'll speak in eerie whispers (on purpose to creep ppl out) to people they don't like specifically. And since they love their siblings, the twins have hardly ever heard them speak. Nicky mostly communicates in body language and a yes/no/unsure button toy. Sometimes they'll even babble incoherently if they're feeling excited/stressed.
-Adding on to the whispering to people they don't like, if either of their siblings has said or done something to make them upset (as caring as the twins usually are, they're still siblings and still assholes) they'd go in the culprit's room at night and freak them out by talking to them in the dark. And since the twins have never seen Nick talk, they always think they're going crazy.
-Nicky has an oral fixation. They have a pacifier that they use most of the time, but without it there's quite a bit of biting. When they're feeling underwhelmed and need stimulation they'll just find something to chew on, and it doesn't help that biting is their love language and their teeth are quite sharp. You'll see the twins or Cassidy with a lot of indents and scars on their skin from this habit. Only real way to make them stop is to find their pacifier.
-Intersex because I said so
-Would you believe me if I said they've committed tax fraud before
-Elizabeth taught them to cry their way out of consequences and they accidentally got someone arrested through this
-Sees William as the man who pays for their stuff, nothing more
-They go to a babysitter when the twins are in school, and this babysitter is Jeremy Fitzgerald's adult sister, Autumn Fitzgerald.
-They're really smart and really well-developed mentally, so they were gonna be put in school early the year they turned 4.
-Though they died a mere week before their first day so- whoops 🤷.
-Fredbear's was built and shut down a few years before Nick's birth, so the most Nick saw of Fredbear was through the Fredbear & Friends TV show and old VHS tapes. It was still their favorite animatronic.
Post Death
-Due to Fredbear's being shut down before Nick was born, Nick didn't die due to the prank. Though their death was somewhat similar.
-Nick shares Fredbear with 5 other souls; Cassidy, Michael Brooks (TSE), Andrew (various FF books), Kelsey (FF: The New Kid), and Devon (FF: The New Kid).
-The Nightmares have a similar purpose here to canon, but long after Nick died, they found the old remains and managed to hijack the robots, so they're now able to use what William built against him.
-Elizabeth has had to fight them for the key to the explosives cabinet in Mike's office once.
-Even when in the massive form of Fredbear they always want to sit in the shopping cart.
-The pacifier followed them to the afterlife, and so did that goddamn oral fixation.

Bokura No Hibi 15: 15th period of Time
Kallen: Ngh. ......ngggh. ......nnnnngggghhh. (sigh)
It's no use. I've been brushing it forever but my hair just won't straighten out. This is why I don't much care for the dry winter air. The brush gets all tangled up in my hair, too, and then I have static charges to deal with. Pretending to be frail and sickly while my hair is in Lively Persona-mode doesn't sit well with me, either... it has to be one or the other. Besides, I've been shown on TV as a Black Knight with this hairstyle -- it's probably for the best that no one here sees me like this.
*Door opens*
Milly: Anyone he~re? Oh, hey, Kallen. ......That's quite the hairstyle you have there. Got yourself a makeover?
Kallen: (undertone) Oh drats! Uh, erm -- Kaichou. This is, um.
Milly: Oh! Or is your hair naturally like this, all unruly? Do you straighten it out every morning, before coming to school? How do you do it? Hairspray?
Kallen: Um, yeah...... well...... My hair just won't stay straight for long in this dry weather......
Milly: Why not try curling your hair inwards to sort of neutralize things? Ooh, I've got it. Why not go all the way and get yourself some Emperor Curls?
Kallen:Absolutelynot.
Milly: Well, yeah, your hair isn't long enough for that, huh.
Kallen: That's not why I'm objecting......
Milly: Still, this hairdo actually looks quite becoming on you. Though I s'ppose it does make you look real tough.
Kallen: R-really? But......
Milly: Ye~ah. You're pretty much a different person altogether. Like the sort to go on a wild ride out on the streets in short shorts, navel exposed. Wouldn't put riding about on a Knightmare past you, too, come to think of it--
Kallen: ...... (grips Killer Pouch)
Milly: Like, ahahahaha, that's completely out of touch with your inner self now, isn't it? The little princess ought to behave like one. Makes things easier.
Kallen: (Sigh of relief) Yes, yes indeed.
Oh, really, maybe I should just put on a hat today......
Milly: Al~righty then, Milly-san humbly offers her services to personally fix your hair! (excited)
Kallen: Huh!? Why? I mean, I'm fine, you don't have to! There's a lot of electrostatic in my hair.
Milly: Static charges don't bother me in the least. (giggle) Well then, here I come!
Kallen: (Crackle!) Augh! That was really electrifying......
Milly: Was it a premonition of love?
Kallen: How did you come up with that, exactly?
Milly: Oh no, we can't~ Just for the record, I am straight, you know.
Kallen: Your thoughts tend to run off in that direction, don't they?
Milly: Oh, what's this? A slender, yet surprisingly firm nape, I see.
Kallen: Wha-- where are your hands fondling!? And those are practiced hands, too! Ah! No, please, not the ear!
Milly: (lecherous old man-tone) Ufufu, it's all good, iiiiiit's aaaaaaaaall goooooooooood...
Kallen: Eeeeeeeeeeee---
*****
*Door opens*
Shirley: (Speechless) Kaichou, Kallen, what are the two of you...?
Kallen: Sh-Shirley, help m......
Shirley: ......I-I'm so sorry for just walking in like that... I'll be on my way now......
Kallen:Waiiiiit! And I mean that in both senses of the word!
((END))
~*~
Translation notes:
Just to clarify (though it shouldn't be necessary):
"Waiiiiit! And I mean that in both senses of the word!"
1. "Wait! Don't misunderstand!"
2. "Wait! Don't go!"
****************************************
Bokura No Hibi 16 : 16th period of Time (Stage Unknown)
Rivalz: Hmm, well this is certainly odd. Kaichou actually asked for me by name. Wonder what she wants. She sounded strangely serious about it, though.
......Wait! Could this be, you know, that? Romance love are-you-free-tonight? I-don't-want-to-go-home-today let's-have-some-private-lessons -- THAT SORT OF STUFF!?
Woohoo! Badumpbadumpbadump......
*Opens door*
A-hem. (cool-and-suave act) Oh, Mil...... Kaichou. What's up? That was pretty sudden, calling me out and all.
Milly: Rivalz~...... I, I can't hold it in any longer...... so, so......
Rivalz: Whoaaaaaa! It really is coming!
Milly: So this is now the 1st Conference for the Development of the New Cafeteria Menu! Dadadum, paparapaa~.
Rivalz: ..................Excuse me?
Uhhhhhh -- wuh?
Milly: I am so totally fed-up with the current menu. And don't get me started on lunch boxes, they're always the same ol' thing. I am truly, painfully aware of the need for drastic reform. And so we'll be replacing the menu, all of it! Rivalz, you're in charge.
Rivalz: ............I suppose I sort of had this vague inkling it'd be something like this, yeah.
So, like, what do you want to eat, Kaichou?
Milly: Fresh prawns. And crabs. Not the frozen kind, mind.
Rivalz: Hmm yeah not possible.
Milly: As long as you have GUTS! you can do it.
Rivalz: Nope, no can do.
Milly: Grrrrrrr. Okay, fine, lasagna~ And pot-au-feu. Baked herbal chicken. Whole wheat bread and liver pate and bean soup and ham and sausage and salad plate.
Rivalz: ............I'm afraid to ask, but are you thinking of having all that cooked from scratch in the kitchen?
Milly: We eat only three meals a day. I am deeply reluctant to feed the students microwaved canned food. This is what you call parental love, you know.
Rivalz:You don't want to eat stuff like that, you mean.
Milly: What about you, Rivalz? What do you want on the menu?
Rivalz: Me? Hmm, roast beef sandwich.
Milly: Hmm, yes, standard staple.
Rivalz: Tacos with a huge heaping of minced meat, dressed with tongue-burning spicy salsa sauce.
Milly: Oooh, I like those too!
Rivalz: Crunchy hamburgers filled with heaploads of pickles and ketchup and mustard.
Milly: ......Hold on, all your ideas are basically sandwiched meat.
Rivalz: What's wrong with that? I'm just a commoner, perfectly happy with a slice of meat between two pieces of bread.
Milly: You're just lazy. Give it some serious thought, now!
Rivalz: Do I haaaaave to?
(C.C.: ......Pizza.)
Rivalz: Huh?
Is it just me, or am I hearing things with uncanny clarity...... Pizza?
Milly: Ah, pizza's good. So it's decided then. Rivalz's requested menu item: Pizza.
Rivalz: Wuh? Ummm, no, I......
Milly: Well, that's pretty much it. Do a survey and write me a report by next week, 'kay? I'm leaving it all to you. Ciao~
Rivalz: Eh? Uh, right...... Ciao~ ......
(Mystery voice [C.C.]: Fufufu......)
*************************************
Bokura No Hibi 17 : 17th period of Time (Stage unknown)
Suzaku: (sigh) The afternoon classes have already started......
I've been continually late and absent these days, so it's kind of difficult for me to walk into class...... I suppose I could kill some time in the Student Council Room, at least until the next class starts.
On second thought, no, that just isn't right of me. Gotta hurry.
--Wait, there's a really familiar person taking a good ol' hearty afternoon nap on the lawn...
Lelouch: ......Suzaku? Did you just arrive?
Suzaku: Did I wake you up, Lelouch?
Lelouch: Nah, don't worry 'bout it.
Suzaku: If you're just going to sleep anyway, why not show up for class and sleep through it using your usual pose?
Lelouch: Confining myself to the classroom on a beautiful day like this makes for a pretty sad life, don't you think?
Suzaku: Eh, I thought earnestly showing up for classes is one of your principles in life.
Lelouch: Looked like I was going to be late, so I decided to skip it. Doing things half-assed is an even bigger display of a lack of sincerity, I find.
Suzaku: Your logic is as mind-boggling as always......
Lelouch: (yawn) ......I had a few dreams.
Suzaku: Good ones?
Lelouch: So-so.
Suzaku: I don't really dream. Always dead asleep, I am.
Lelouch: Apparently most artists, artisans and athletes don't dream much.
Suzaku: Uh, I don't think I fall into any of those categories......
Lelouch: True, but what I'm saying is that someone like you who's always rushing about in top gear juggling military duties, school life and the Student Council wouldn't have the time to dream. My advice: Just do a passable job and take things easy.
Suzaku: Thing is, I don't quite know how to slack off and cut corners. Unlike you, Lelouch, I'm not the cunning sort.
Lelouch: I wish you'd say that I have a 'thorough grasp on the proper allocation of resources' instead.
Suzaku: Wow, would you listen to him! (laugh) Still, I didn't think someone as neurotic as you would be able to sleep out in the open.
Lelouch: I've been well-trained. I can sleep on the floor, too.
Suzaku: On the floor?
Lelouch: 'Sides, I like the nostalgic smell of grass. I also like the blue of the sky, the way it's always the same no matter where you are. The sound of running water from the stream over in the courtyard calms me, too.
Suzaku: You can actually hear the sound of running water?
Lelouch: If you lie still and listen closely you'll start to hear it, little by little. You can even hear the movements of the riverbed.
Suzaku: If you can hear even that you've got some amazing ears......
Lelouch: Try it. You'll get what I mean.
Suzaku: That so?
........................
......But you're right, it does feel great......
Lelouch: Doesn't it feel as though the static noise in your body's evaporating into the warm sunlight?
Suzaku: Kinda feels like I'm about to melt......
Lelouch: Closing my eyes and watching the red darkness behind my eyelids like this makes me feel as though something important, something nostalgic is coming towards me from up above.
Suzaku: ......Yeah.
......It really does feel that way......
........................
Lelouch: Aren't you going to class?
Suzaku: You're evil. It's simply impossible to go now.
((END))
And that's about it for the Bokura No hibis ! Those were some fun novels about our favorite Student Council with some C.C. added in the mix; Hope you enjoyed if you discovered those or hope you enjoyed discovering them again; Once again those are novels so non canon material but headcanon is always pretty fun.
