I heard you were looking for some fic prompts and uhh maybe an alternative ending where Avery doesn’t show up and pat asks pen to dance with him

Thanks for this prompt, anon! It took 3 viewings of the new season and 4 days for me to process my feelings about it before I could write my first S3 fic, but this turned out really fun. 

Penelope x Schneider, One Day At A Time. Also on AO3.

[italicized portion taken directly from the scene in episode 3.13]

Penelope waved Schneider over to her table, aiming a sad face at him that didn’t quite reach the level of his. “Are you okay?”

He hunched over the table a little. “Oh, no, I’m all kinds of messed up. You?”

“Seeing that father-daughter dance really made me happy, but if one more person tells me, ‘You’ll find someone,’ I’m setting off the sprinklers, and we’re gonna see who has extensions real quick.”

Nudging Schneider with her elbow got him to laugh a little, and she was still smiling as his faded.

He sighed. “I can’t get over Avery. I had a magical angel woman who wanted a future with me, and I screwed it up.”

“Don’t be so hard on yourself.”

“I’m sorry. A wedding probably isn’t the best place for me right now.”

“Well, I’m glad you came. Otherwise, I’d be the only single loser here, so…”

Penelope sipped her drink and offered Schneider her most winning smile, still hoping she could draw him out of his funk. “So, the supermodel. Not even a little spark?”

“No.” He hung his head. “I think I’m over meaningless attraction, Pen. After Avery…I don’t know, what if she was my best chance at a real future with someone?”

“She’s the first person you’ve tried to have an actual relationship with,” Penelope pointed out. “It’s a little soon to decide it’s all over for you.”

She glanced at the dance floor, where the Chicken Dance seemed like it might never end. “But the part where you want more than just a fling? That could be a good thing, Schneider. It’s about time you opened yourself up to dating like an adult–I would hate to see you throw that progress away just because you’re hurting.”

Schneider sighed again. “Eh, well. Enough about me. You’re at Victor’s wedding, that’s gotta be weird.”

“You are not wrong.” Penelope couldn’t help but laugh when she caught her mother stealing the dance floor with her flapping arms, Dr. B flapping along from a distance.

“Then again,” she added, “what isn’t weird lately?”

“Good point.”

The manic music finally died down, gliding into a slow song as couples pulled each other close. Her Mami found a stray man to pair off with, leaving Dr. Berkowitz standing alone before other dancers blocked them from Penelope’s view.

“I am happy for Victor,” she assured Schneider, her smile fading. “But of all the times not to have a date…”

“I hear ya. Sorry about Mateo, by the way. With everything, I don’t think I said that yet.”

“It’s fine.” Penelope shrugged. “He deserved somebody who was a really good fit.”

“So do you.”

Schneider smiled at her. “And in the meantime, how about this wedding’s two single losers cut a rug?”

“Huh?” .

“We shouldn’t be stuck moping here all night.” He stood, reaching for her hand. “Let’s dance, Pen.”

His grin caught her off guard. Rapidly shifting moods worried her these days just as much as seeing Schneider in a funk. His relapse had shaken their friendship, and they were still slowly building it back up again.

But compared to being depressed over Avery, at least at the moment he was smiling. That was reason enough for Penelope to follow him to the dance floor and rest one hand on his shoulder while he kept hold of the other.

“You look really nice,” Schneider said as they began to move.

“Thanks, Schneider. I guess that’s something, at least.”

“What do you mean?”

She caught one of Victor’s cousins watching her and shook her head. “Oh, you know. Everybody here is ready to throw me a pity party. And I’m fine!”

He blinked. “Of course you are, Penelope. You’re rocking at this whole life thing.”

“It’s just so frustrating. I could find someone in a heartbeat. I have absolutely no trouble finding someone.”

“Well, if I know that’s true, and you know that’s true…then why is it bothering you so much?”

Schneider shifted a little closer as they turned in a slow circle, and she closed  her eyes, trying to relax. “I don’t know. It’s just bugging me.”

“Okay.”

He was quiet after that, and she focused on the feel of his hand in hers, the warmth of his fingers pressing into her waist. It was strange, wasn’t it, that they’d never danced together like this before?

Sure, he’d joined her for a couple of dances at Elena’s quinces, mostly because he was too cheerful about it for her to tell him no without feeling like a total jerk. But those had been fast songs, and friendly dances. There was absolutely no touching involved.

And at the school dance they’d both chaperoned, he’d danced with her Mami after he and Nikki broke up, the two of them salsaing whether the music called for it or not. It had made her smile even while her mind was worrying over Max’s words. But because there was Max, it would never have occurred to her to dance with Schneider.

What a difference a year made.

“I’m not sure I can keep a man,” Penelope blurted out, making Schneider’s footsteps falter for a second before he glided her back into a waltz.

“What are you talking about?”

“All those people telling me I’ll find someone someday, I know they don’t know what they’re talking about. I’m really good at finding someone. And they’re all great guys.”

“Yeah, I remember.” Schneider’s face got that slightly starstruck look that returned whenever he thought about Max, and she rolled her eyes.

“So, you know…I can get a man. I’m just not so good at keeping them. No matter how great they are on paper, I can’t make it work. A relationship isn’t everything–it’s not even at the top of my bucket list right now. But it really sucks anyway, not being good at them.”

He stopped dancing, stepping back with her hand still gripped in his. “Hey, hey. Who says you’re not good at relationships?”

Penelope glanced over her shoulder. “Well, Tia Pity over there, for starters. And all the other people who look at me and see a failure just because my marriage didn’t work out.”

“Your marriage ending was not your fault,” Schneider insisted, his voice low among the crowd. “You’re not responsible for Victor’s choices, Penelope. You had kids to think about.”

“And I didn’t fight for Max,” she continued, as though he hadn’t spoken. “I gave Mateo so little of my attention we were barely dating even while we were dating. I know it takes two people to make a relationship work, but I’m not blameless. Those women clicking their tongues sympathetically at me tonight, they have a point. I might never find somebody to spend my life with.”

He shook his head and pulled her close. “Come here.”

Once she was dancing with him again, her face almost resting against his chest, Schneider continued.

“You’re talking to the guy who ruined the only good thing he had going for him,” he said. “I’m officially an expert on being bad at relationships–and I’ve only had one, so you have to admit that’s impressive.”

“Schneider…”

Penelope tipped her head up to look at him, their eyes meeting as the song ended.

He leaned back, letting go of her hand. “Thanks for the dance.”

She stepped forward, closing in on his space again. “Where do you think you’re going? We’re not finished.”

Schneider’s forehead wrinkled to match his confused tone. “We’re not?”

“No, dummy. Who else am I gonna dance with if you leave me stranded here?”

Still bewildered, he let Penelope’s fingers wrap around his, his other hand resting on her hip this time. The new music was slower; they swayed along with it while she bit her bottom lip and chose her next words carefully.

“What you just said about Avery, that’s crap.”

“Penelope–”

“I mean it. You were going through a hard time, harder than you have in years. You don’t have a special talent for ruining relationships just because that one ended. Because in case you hadn’t noticed, this right here? Is a relationship too. Not like you and Avery, but still going strong after years of up and downs. And so are your relationships with my Mami, and Elena and Alex. So stop telling yourself she was the only good thing, okay? It’s not true.”

His hand squeezed hers while she settled against him, deciding the time for formalities was over.

“You’re right,” Schneider murmured. “I’m sorry. You and your family…you guys are the best thing. You always have been. It’s just harder now.”

“What is?”

He was silent for so long, she thought he might not answer the question.

“Hoping,” Schneider finally said, resting his cheek against the top of her head.

“Right.” She nodded, curls tickling his face. “I get that. But, Schneider?”

“Yeah?”

“We were there, through all of it. We’re still here. If it hurts too much to hope yet, maybe try trusting that instead. You have us.”

She smiled against his lapel. “And if we can make it through the worst with you, then there’s totally a woman out there who could too. One just as special as Avery. You’ll find her.”

“Well, if that’s true, then you’ve got nothing to worry about.”

“Because you’ll be too busy to keep barging in at all hours?” She teased.

“No,” he replied, not joking at all. “Because if there really is someone out there for me, then you’re definitely going to find love again, Penelope. The kind that lasts.”

Schneider’s hands slid to the small of her back as the second song became a third, neither of them moving to end the dance.

“You think so, huh?”

“I know it,” he insisted, his eyes clearing for the first time all night. “It might not be at the top of your list, but it’ll happen. Nobody deserves it more than you.”

Penelope was still trying to figure out what to say to that when Schneider dipped her, grinning before he pulled her back into him and led her into a salsa.

She saw her Mami tango by with Dr. Berkowitz, no more concerned than Schneider about how they stood out from the crowd, and gave in.

It was her ex-husband’s wedding, after all. She knew before she came that she wouldn’t be having a fabulous time. She couldn’t even make his friends and family stop looking at her like she was doomed to die alone.

But no matter what they thought, she wasn’t alone.

Schneider was throwing goofy flourishes into his dance moves, singing off-key along with the music, his hands warm where they gripped her hips.

Maybe they were both bad at relationships. Maybe they would both be single for the next thirty years.

Whatever the future held, Penelope had better things to do than worry about it right then.

She would rather salsa.

13: What’s one thing you regret saying/doing in a previous relationship?- i regret not being completely honest about my wants/needs

49: Have you ever broken someone’s heart?- so i have been told

50: If you’re single, why do you think you are?51: Would you rather date someone who’s rich but a douchebag or someone who’s poor but a nice guy?- there are levels to this shit, how much of a douche bag is he really? does he just neglect me but i have access to all the money? bc i would do that.

52: Are you good at giving other people advices regarding dating/ relationships?- no considering my advice is always “dump him. drop them. leave her” lmao. it has gotten me into trouble a number of times

54: How important is it to make a relationship official (p.e. on facebook)?- on social media, not really. though i would be skeptical of someone who goes out of their way to deliberately not post their partner

55: Would you consider yourself “clingy”, “overly attached” or “jealous”?- i can be, but i do chose to hardly ever act on it. shit will irk me and i will know it is irrational or dumb or makes no sense so i’ll try to dismiss it myself, mostly for fear of being called crazy for having and displaying the emotions i’m going through but it is what it is

56: Have you ever “destroyed” a relationship?- i have. not malintentionally

58: Are you the “dominant” or the “submissive” part in a relationship?- independent as fuck but not tryna step on my partner’s toes either. i think we both have to be dominant. maybe me a bit more. (also, i am soooo talking in regards to personalities and not sex for you weirdos out there).

[kuno-chan]

Rama and Taani(The twins) 22-40 and 43

22. How does jealousy manifest itself in them (they become possessive, they become aloof, etc)?

Rama and Taani are definitely different in that aspect. Rama will begin making very pointed jabs when he talks, he’s always been the smartass of the family so his mouth is generally how he handles things. Taani, on the other hand, will probably be the one more likely to become physically possessive.

23. How does envy manifest itself in them (they take what they want, they become resentful, etc)?

Again, Rama is liable to use his mouth. His way of dealing with the worlds tends to be direct and, depending on who he’s dealing with and what mindset he’s in (he develops a drug problem in his teens), he may very well take what it is he wants or make jabs at the person who has what he wants. Taani would probably hang around the thing. If she’s envious then she’ll make it physically known that she desires this particular thing through her presence.

24. Is sex something that they’re comfortable speaking about? To whom?

Eh? I usually write them at ages 11, so that would be a no, but when they’re already in their teens then that’s probably still a no. Like, they’re comfortable talking about it, but probably will limit their conversations about it. Even with each other. Sex is something I see them both being private about. That being said, Rama’s probably the most comfortable with his uncles. Taani probably wouldn’t talk about it at all.

25. What are their thoughts on marriage?

Both Rama and Taani, like Nima, have good example of marriage and so they have good thoughts about marriage in general and aren’t adverse to it. I feel like Rama and Taani though don’t think about it much. Taani probably thinks about it more than Rama does, but mostly in the context about liking the idea of getting married one day, but being self-conscious that someone might not want to marry her because they think she’s weird. She’s aware of how hard it is for her to be social like others and, although she definitely improves over the years, it’s still not something that comes easy to her.

For Rama, the idea is nice, but he doesn’t have any strict plans? His teen years get a bit rough and so part of him is honestly just trying to keep himself normalized and not relapse.

26. What is their preferred mode of transportation?

In Anchor, it’s by ship. In canon, by sky bison.

27. What causes them to feel dread?

The fear of something bad happening to one another or someone they care about. For Rama, it can personally being when he feels himself craving the drug he was addicted to. For Taani, feeling like Souma is nearby even if she knows better.

28. Would they prefer a lie over an unpleasant truth?

Rama would definitely prefer the unpleasant truth and Taani it would probably depend on what the topic is and how she feels about it because she can gravitate to both, honestly.

29. Do they usually live up to their own ideals?

Rama is a fairly direct guy so I’d say he at least does his best. Taani does I think fairly well (except maybe for the Rebellious Phase in her life). All of the kainora kids at least try to live up to the ideal of being a generally good person: Helping people, being compassionate, loving and protecting your family, etc. They’re all good kids.

30. Who do they most regret meeting?

God, I know Rama really regrets meeting a few people. Mainly the people who got him into drugs and into the triad business. For Taani, that would be Souma, her eventual boyfriend who’s abusive to her.

31. Who are they the most glad to have met?

Naoka. Both of them would probably say Naoka. Naoka is Rama’s best friend and Naoka and Taani have basically been lifelong loves (you can ask me about that too :3)

32. Do they have a go-to story in conversation? Or a joke?

Rama’s good at talking, so I don’t think so. He’s clever with talking. I think he just takes the context of whatever situation he’s in and is able to make it charming or appealin to talk to him about it when he wants to. Taani definitely not. She’s more of a physical space commanding person. Or sending signals. If she wants to talk to you, she’ll try to get you to say something first probably.

33. Could they be considered lazy?

Nima, yes, but not the twins. They’re quiet and introverted overall, but not lazy.

34. How hard is it for them to shake a sense of guilt?

Depends on what it is and who it has to do with. It’s easier to get over when it’s not someone they care about, but both Rama and Taani have solid moral compasses. Neither of them want to hurt anybody. Rama’s more likely to try to fix things though.

35. How do they treat the things their friends come to them excited about? Are they supportive?

…that depends. Naoka has this habit of getting Rama into situations that become incidents and so Rama usually goes along with the thing because he’s curious, but he’s also like “Why do I put up with you?”

But, yeah. They’d be supportive of whatever it is their friend is excited about (though Rama would be inclined to be a smartass about it as is his way).

36. Do they actively seek romance, or do they wait for it to fall into their lap?

Ooooh yeah. Both of them actively seek romance (or attraction. I wouldn’t say it’s straight up I absolutely love you as it is Okay, I like you let’s see where this goes), a glaring difference from their older sister. Rama becomes a hit with the girls when he gets well into his teens and Taani has a series/handful of boyfriends. (They always deal with one person at a time of course. Neither of them would ever have more than one girlfriend/boyfriend at once).

37. Do they have a system for remembering names, long lists of numbers, things that need to go in a certain order (like anagrams, putting things to melodies, etc)?

Good question. Rama might because he’s more naturally studious with things, but Taani probably doesn’t. If she doesn’t want to remember something then she just won’t. If she needs to then she will and put work into it, but things like names… she won’t bother to remember you if she has to try too hard unless she feels she should. It’s not that she’s not smart enough to (quite the opposite), she’s just stubborn and doesn’t care sometimes. Remembering your name is secondary to actually figuring out how to communicate with you.

Btw, Taani’s lack of remembering names isn’t really related to her autism I think. Even if wasn’t on the spectrum, she simply doesn’t bother unless you make an impression. It may be a little related in that she has to focus more to communicate with you, so remembering your name takes more effort than is worth sometimes (which sounds bad but communicating can be difficult for her as it is). But the actual act of remembering names isn’t beyond her capabilities whatsoever. It’s a semi-conscious choice because she doesn’t care enough sometimes.

38. What memory do they revisit the most often?

Rama probably remembers stories a lot. Stories he’s been told, stories he’s read and stories he’s shared with people he cares about. Taani probably remembers most her first kiss, I can’t lie. Naoka and her have loved each other most of their lives to some capacity.

39. How easy is it for them to ignore flaws in other people?

For both of them, they’re more critical of other people’s flaws, I think. Both of them are naturally more cautious so, unlike Nima, they’d pay more attention to someone’s flaws (moreso if they’re serious or dangerous) and aren’t always willing to overlook them. Everybody has flaws though so minor things they’re willing to get over and leave be.

40. How sensitive are they to their own flaws?

Taani’s stubborn. The most out of all her siblings. And she’ll reflect on that, but only later on when she feels bad about it. She’s sensitive about the fact that it’s harder for her to communicate with people, but at the same time homegirl don’t care at all times. Like, Taani’s this person who is gentle and kind and a sweet person, but also kiss her actual ass.

Rama’s more reflective of his nature. He’s naturally inquisitive and he’s willing to look on himself more than Taani. But he also a temper and when he’s heated, he won’t see his own issues until he’s ready, Likewise, if he’s just compromised in general he may not be able to see the bigger picture.

43. If someone asked them to explain their sexuality, how would they do so?

I honestly can’t imagine Rama as anything as straight. I’ve never gotten any indication that he likes any other gender but girls. As for Taani, she’s probably experimented on some level because as a teenager she was probably willing to give anyone a chance who paid her any flatter/attention, but ultimately prefers men. While Rama is openly straight and would tell you so, Taani’s probably straight, but if you asked her she wouldn’t deign to tell you unless you were someone she loved.

(I admittedly always get a bit nervous when someone asks me about the sexualities of my characters on tumblr because my kainora kids all just happen to be straight? I let the characters tell me their sexuality because I don’t want token representation. But for sure two of my Bopal kids aren’t straight. One of Nima’s friends that I want to introduce isn’t. And I have thoughts on a couple of other characters that I don’t want to say yay or nay on yet. Feel free to ask me about that if you want.)
