HSMTMTS season 4 was the finale season, but at first more season were to come.

Tim Federle, creator of the show, said that if there were another season, they wanted to do The Greatest Showman.

He said that he saw Ricky and Gina as Zack and Zendaya's characters (Phillip and Anne), and Jet as Hugh Jackman's (P.T Barnum).

With that in mind, I was wondering what could have been the rest of the casting:

I was thinking Kourtney as Charity, Barnum's wife. I know that she doesn't have the biggest role of the movie, but she got to sing A Million Dreams, and Kourtney as Jet's wife would make sense considering they would probably be dating.

After that, it's hard to make a choice, especially for Rebecca Ferguson and Keala Settle's characters. But I feel like Ashlyn should be Lettie Lutz (the beard woman from the circus) and Emmy should be Jenny Lindt (The Singer).

The reasons why are that Julia is a theater kid from the beginning, she was in the production of Into The Woods in Broadway as Red Riding Hood. The musical number This Is Me is lead by a very powerful singer, and it really feels like Broadway. I also feel like it would maybe make a parallel with Ashlyn's queer story. She's now with Maddox and her friends know that she's bi, but I think I could see an arc of her doubting of what to say to other people, like her parents.

Lettie is a character who is different from the others, and in this number she, and everyone, claim their difference to the world. They are proud of who they are. And maybe it could help Ashlyn who's struggling about what to say and what people will think of her.

Now about Emmy. She's young, the youngest of the kids, so it could be logical to make her one of P.T and Charity's daughters, and they could create a musical number for one of them, but I feel like she would kill it as Jenny. The character is not easy to interpret, especially for a young girl, but Liamani is very talented and her voice is amazing. She killed 'Dreams Don't Die' (which is my favorite song of the last season), and she was Taylor who's an important character in HSM even though she doesn't sing that much. I really think she could handle it, and be amazing. Liamani has a very powerful voice, she proved that she can go very high and I have no doubt that she would kill Never Enough.

I know there's Dani too and she could be a great Jenny, but I think Emmy deserves this role. Dani could be someone in the circus.

After that, there are the boys. So Carlos, Big Red, Seb. I feel like Seb and Big Red wouldn't have a big role in the musical too, because the actors aren't part of the main cast. So they both could be characters in the circus. One could be Anne's brother, and the other I don't really know, they could find someone. For now I only think of the half dwarf man, but I don't know if they could change the character as he's based on a person who existed.

And for Carlos I don't know. Maybe the father of P.T Barnum or Charity? I don't remember much of P.T's father, but I remember Charity's didn't approved the relationship between P.T and his daughter. Maybe he could have a musical number where he expresses why he doesn't want him? And Carlos would obviously be the choreographer, and I feel like it would be more work than HSM 3.

Maddox won't be in the show as we know she prefers to be backstage.

And you, what do you think the casting could have been ?

No Worries (Bret Hart x Reader)

Summary: you accidentally help Bret stop stressing about an upcoming title match. The reader is a kind of valley girl.

Warnings: just silly fluff. Enjoy <3

♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡

"Geeze. How many pairs of shoes do you own, baby?" Bret yawned as he looked over at his girlfriend from his spot on the edge of the bed. She sat on the floor of her closet, tossing things into piles here and there.

"It's not even that much, like, ten or twelve pairs…I'm gonna get rid of some anyway," she said, tossing a small black purse into the "give away" pile. "Ew, that's the purse I wore on that shitty blind date last year. Good riddance."

He reckoned any other guy would gag at the thought of helping his girl organize her clothes. But he didn't mind. He'd rather be here in her pretty pink room than in the gym. He pulled one of the frilly blue pillows from her on her bed onto his lap, mindlessly flipping through the channels on her little TV until he landed on an old movie. No matter how tight he held the pillow to him the gross feeling in the pit of his stomach wouldn't seem to go away.

That's why he was here. He needed this break, after training for three days straight for his up and coming title match, he needed to get his mind off of it. And there was no better place than Y/N's house. There wasn't a single thing wrestling-related in her house, except for a replica of one his jackets she had bought because it was "so forward". It was one of his favorite things about her, she really knew nothing about the business.

Still, it felt almost like he was running away from it. The more interviews he had to sit through, the more he trained the more he just felt sick. Either from the anticipation of it in the big arena or the fear of losing was making his stomach churn and his head occasionally ache. He had no idea how to get his mind off it, and he couldn't figure out how to talk to her about it. Maybe comparing his championship to a trophy may make it easier for her to understand. He had no idea who else to talk to. Jimmy would probably just tell him to shake it off, and Jim would just give him the longest pep talk in the world.

The sound of gum popping startled him out of his thoughts. She turned to him and held up a blue tube-top. "Keep or toss?"

"Uh… I like the sequins on it?"

She studied it before nodding and putting it in the "Keep" pile. "I am going to that soiree at that new sky bar that opened up with my sis, it'll match my eyeshadow. Totally works for a monochrome thing, you know?"

He nodded, though he honestly just liked it because her chest looked great in it. He decided to keep that thought to himself. He watched as she crawled and pulled out a shoe box, tugging her shorts back down as she returned to her sitting position on the carpet.

"I don't even remember what's in here, I haven't seen this box in centuries…" She opened the lid and squealed. "Oh my God, I forgot about these!"

Bret tilted his head. Inside were a few belts curled up to fit in. In the middle were a few metal bangles and a charm bracelet.

"Keep, keep, keep- oh, damn!" Her shoulders slumped as she pulled out a thick, gold belt with a large metal buckle. The material was starting to peel and crack in places, the faux snake material looked like it had seen better days. "I won this from Alundra playing Twister that one time. This is what I get for not buying a belt rack!"

"It doesn't look that bad," he tilted his head. Between the blue rhinestone-colored buckle, the gold material and black leather back reminded him of something.

"Yeah... at least it's not all rusty or whatever, that would be a major pain to fix. I guess it's whatever. It's just a belt. Still want it though!" she dropped it into the keep pile and began to look at the shoes.

It was just a belt... it was just a belt...

Then it clicked.

"It's just a belt...I can always- or win it back..." Bret mumbled as he tossed the pillow in his arms behind him.

"D'you say something, babe?" She turned back to look at him, letting out a squeak as his arms were suddenly around her waist, pulling her up from the floor. He brought her to the bed, and she sat down, straddling his lap, a confused look on her face.

"It is just a belt, isn't it, hun?" he said, grinning from ear to ear as he held her face in his hands.

"Yeah? Are you okay? You're smiling real funny."

"I'm perfect, and so are you," the man said as he peppered her face with kisses. She giggled as he made his way down to her neck, moving his arms back around her.

"What is with you today, Hart?"

"Nothing, baby. Absolutely nothing. You wanna make out?"

She tilted her head before nodding, spitting out her gum in the waste basket by her bed. He laid down on the bed, pulling her closer on top of him as his lips crashed against hers. He could deal with everything later, it wasn't worth stressing about anymore. After all...

...it was just a belt.

Mama || Leticia "Letty" Cruz

(GIF: @angels-reyes)

A/N: This was created because I've seen some speculation that Letty may not make it to the end of Season 3 (😭🥺). My mind needed something fluffy to combat this and so this piece came about. Apologises for grammatical errors and please let me know if the Spanish translation needs correcting.

Characters/Pairing(s): Letty x Reader (mother-daughter relationship) ▪︎ Coco x Reader (mention) ☆ Mayans MC (brief mention) ▪︎ OCs (receptionist, mother and son duo) 

Summary: Just a mother protecting her daughter. 

Warnings: brief mention of altercation (male and female), description of injuries, fluff, language, nicknames, painkillers (reference to injury) 

Word Count: 1755

- ♤ - ♡ - ◇ - ♧ -

(Y/N) couldn't believe how busy the roads leading to the local high school were. It was a Wednesday, a little after ten and the streets were just packed with cars. She thought it was ridiculous considering people were usually at their jobs and children were in their age appropriate schools. There was no reason for people to be out and about. 

"The light's been green for five seconds!" she yelled and honked her horn, "move!" The driver in front gave her the finger before taking off, "you're so fucking lucky I've got somewhere to be, asshole!" she called out as she drove in the opposite direction. 

When her phone rang during her break, the last person (Y/N) expected to hear from was the receptionist for Santo Padre High School. According to the woman, Leticia (Letty as she was mostly referred to) had been in an altercation with another student and her parents or caregivers were requested to come and meet with the principal. Rachel, the receptionist, mentioned trying to reach her father but going straight to voicemail. With (Y/N) being listed as an emergency contact she was called. 

(Y/N) immediately asked about Letty, but was told that specific details couldn't be discussed over the phone. She found that odd, but accepted it (for the time being) and informed Rachel that she would be there as quickly as she could. After hanging up, she grabbed her belongings and told her manager she had a family emergency to attend to. She was cleared and (Y/N) informed him that she would be taking a week off as well and would keep them updated on her situation. 

From the moment she received the call to the time she pulled up in front of the high school, her thoughts revolved around Letty. Being with Coco for several years allowed (Y/N) to gain some insight to the type of life he had been subjected to. Through a lot of tears, constant reassurance and love (Y/N) was able to break through his tough exterior and get him to believe she was in it for the long haul. When (Y/N) was told by him about his daughter being in a similar environment to what he was in growing up, she demanded him to bring her home.

The second she laid eyes on Letty she saw Coco's features and personality shine through. (Y/N) didn't expect the teenager to respect or trust her right off the bat, but she made sure to let her know that she was here if she needed someone to talk to and gave her space. With every door slam, harsh comment and glare sent her way, (Y/N) continued being herself and showed Letty she wasn't a threat. It was challenging, especially when Coco left on runs, but she pushed through. Eventually the teenager began to accept her father's girlfriend without second guessing her. 

(Y/N) stepped into the main office and found a woman standing beside a teenage boy, who held some paper towels to his nose and had a couple of scratches on his face. She moved closer and realised the pair were towering over Letty who sat in the corner and was looking down at her lap. Clenching her jaw, she strode over to the trio. 

"Get the fuck away from my daughter!" she glared at the duo and turned around to Letty, who was now standing, "mi niña, are you okay?" she kissed her forehead and cupped her cheeks, "Leticia?" 

The teenager nodded, "uh… y-yeah, I'm fine," she went to move (Y/N)'s hands but winced, "completely fine." 

(Y/N)'s eyes widened at the state of Letty's hands. They were most likely bruised and what shocked her even more was that there was no ice-pack beside her seat. The boy clearly had been given assistance, but her baby girl hadn't and that pissed her off.

"Rachel!" she called out and a woman appeared around the corner, "you're the one who called me right?" 

"Yes." 

"And, you said you couldn't go over specific details of what happened over the phone?" 

"That's correct." 

(Y/N) nodded and gestured towards Letty's hands, "well I'm here now and would like an explanation on why my daughter hasn't been treated and that young man has?" When the mother tried to give a reason, she raised a hand in her face, "this doesn't concern you, this conversation is between Rachel and I." 

Rachel gulped and could feel the anger radiating off of (Y/N), "well… uh, he was bleeding and –"

"Were there other staff members present?" she asked and when she was given a nod, she continued, "why couldn't they have provided medical assistance to my daughter?" 

"She… didn't tell us she was hurt, ma'am, she said she was fine so –"

"Bitch do her hands look fine to you?" 

The mother scoffed, "at least we know where your daughter gets her attitude from." 

(Y/N) turned to her, "shut up, nobody asked for your ass to speak," she gestured towards her son, "the reason your son's looking like a fucked up tomato is completely justified I can vouch for that." 

"Are you kidding me?" She shrieked and pointed to his face, "he's most likely got a broken nose and there's scratches on his face!"

"Exactly, be glad my daughter didn't have a screwdriver on her." (Y/N) replied and almost laughed at the disbelief on the woman's face, "your son deserved every scratch, bruise and possible broken bone."

"Excuse me!?" 

(Y/N) ignored her and turned back around to face Rachel, "Letty and I will be leaving now."

"Mrs Fraser hasn't seen –" 

"My main concern right now is my daughter's well-being," she told her, "and you've got my details on file so I'm sure Mrs Fraser can contact me at a later date." 

Rachel spoke again, "please if you'd just –"

"No." 

(Y/N) picked up Letty's bag and walked over to the desk, with Letty trailing behind her. She quickly signed out on the tablet and the pair walked out of the building. Reaching her car, (Y/N) unlocked it and helped Letty into the passenger seat. Closing her door, she rushed to the driver's side and got in. 

She helped Letty buckle up, before buckling herself in, "everything okay, sweets?" 

"Yeah… uh, thanks." was the response she received, before she started up the car and pulled out of the school parking lot while explaining where they were off to next. 

-- ♡ -- ◇ -- 

"He's always talking shit," Letty explained to (Y/N) about the guy in the office, "it was about time someone shut him up." 

"And you were the person to do so?" 

She shrugged her shoulders, "he ran his mouth and then touched me, so I beat his ass." 

"Two for one special?" 

"Pretty much." 

(Y/N) chuckled, "when your hands heal up, we'll ask one of the guys to teach you a few moves in the ring, thankfully your hands are just bruised and not broken." 

"They still hurt like a bitch." 

"You've got another two hours before you can drink some more painkillers." 

"What would've happened if Coco answered the phone?" Letty questioned.

(Y/N) shook her head, "honey, I don't even think I wanna know what would've happened," she noticed the teen wince, "are you okay?" 

"Yes." 

"Are you sure?"

She huffed, "I'm fine, okay? I was fine when you picked me up. I was fine when we went to the doctor's office. I was fine at the grocery store and I was fine the last time you asked me." 

(Y/N) nodded and pulled into their driveway, putting the car in park, "I'm not gonna apologise about asking how you're feeling. I'm just – I just want to make sure you're okay. But, now I'll stop because I can see I'm annoying you." 

"Yeah, you are." 

She chuckled, "okay, I'll stop, but you'll tell –" 

Letty sighed, "yes, I'll tell you. You really take this parenting thing seriously. I mean… you've been referring to me as your daughter all day and I–I'm not. But you defended me –" 

"And I always will." 

" – against Kyle, his mum and even the receptionist. I–I've never had that before. And, even at the doctor's office you made sure I was seen by a female because you knew it'd make me more comfortable." 

"Letty?" 

"You treat me like I'm yours and you called me your daughter and I… I don't know, I just," she took a deep breath, shook her head and looked out of the window.

(Y/N) waited for her to continue, but she didn't. Thinking back on today's events, she realised she had referred to Letty as her own. She had been doing it in her mind for so long and didn't realise she had said it out in the open. Letty had heard her reference and it seemed to make her uncomfortable and that was something she vowed she wouldn't do. 

"When I started dating your dad he told me about the kids he had. He told me that he wasn't involved in their lives because being away from them was for the best. I asked him what would happen if one day a kid reached out and his response was "if they do, they do. I ain't gonna turn them away", (Y/N) spoke up, "and then you reached out, sweetums. You reached out and your dad took that as a sign. From the moment you entered our lives, it's been a whirlwind of emotions. We're not this picture perfect family, but we're our own version. Despite being almost an adult, Coco still views you as his baby girl. And, honestly, I've been viewing you the same way."

Letty sniffed and looked up, "really?" 

"Absolutely, gorgeous. The moment you stepped through that door you became mine as well," (Y/N) pointed at the front door of their home, before turning to her, "but that doesn't matter if you're not okay with it. I'm not trying to force you to be –" 

"I'm Coco's daughter," she cut in and smiled at (Y/N), "and now I'm yours too." 

(Y/N) beamed with joy and unbuckled her seatbelt, and Letty's, reaching over the middle console to bring the teen into her arms. Letty wrapped her arms around (Y/N), breathing in her (scent). The woman chuckled and kissed her cheek, "I love you, baby girl." 

Letty pulled her closer, "I love you too, mama."
