#melanie vera deserves better

[madam-kumo]

Identity V characters as Music

(I did skip some because I had no idea what to do for them. Also Major spoiler warning)

Masterlist

Survivors

Emily Dyer (doctor)

Nurses Office by Melanie Martinez.

For obvious reasons

Freddy Riley (Lawyer)

The Fine Print by The Stupendium

He mentions in his backstory that he hopes to find a better job than the "menial" job he has with a low wage.

Kreacher Pierson (Thief)

Smooth Criminal by Michael Jackson

He literally steals parts from the ciphers.

Emma Woods (Gardener)

Dandelions by Ruth B.

A happy song for a happy character. (Emma is literally so cute, she deserves it)

Servais Le Roy (The magician)

Circus by Brittney Spears

Where do we find magicians? A circus...

Martha Behamfil (Coordinator)

Bang! by AJR

Martha has a gun. That's it.

Fiona Gilman (Priestess)

W.I.T.C.H by Devon Cole

I was gonna go with Dragula by Rob Zombie but that felt too aggressive for Fiona.

Tracy Reznik (Mechanic)

Puppet Boy by Devo

It has the cheerful sound to it like Tracy does but I chose this song because I love her mechanical dolls (they underrated).

Vera Nair (Perfumer)

Francis Forever by Mitski

I feel like this song sums up how Vera felt after murdering her sister.

Kevin Ayuso (Cowboy)

Country Girl by Luke Bryan

I gave him the most southern song I could physically think of.

Margaretha Zelle (Female Dancer)

Liquid Smooth by Mitski

I think this song shows how Margaretha felt and how she saw herself just before coming to the manor.

Sergei (Weeping Clown or Joker)

Cigarette duet by Princess Chelsea

This song is pretty much a nutshell of when Sergei was having problems with Margaretha and was trying to convince her to stay with him.

Aesop Carl (Embalmer)

Coraline Opening Song

If you paid attention to when the other mother is making the doll then you can see when she lays the great aunts doll on what looks like a kit of some kind then you can see that it's an embalming kit. (My favorite movie song for my main)

Norton Campbell

Wolf in Sheep's Clothing by Set It Off

I saw somebody use it in an edit when he attacked Orpheus and Melly so I think this song fits.

Patricia Dorval (Enchantress)

Come Little Children from the Hocus Pocus 1993 film

I always got the vibe that Patricia is very family oriented and tries to avoid social conflict when she can so a peaceful song like this literally being sung by a witch is something Patricia would enjoy. (I love this woman so much)

Mike Morton

Freak by Sub Urban

I couldn't really think of one without repeating so I decided on this one.

Demi Bourbon

Alcoholic Friends by Dresden Dolls

I think this was how she felt after her brother got the invitation to the manor.

Victor Grantz

Message man by Twenty One Pilots

I think this song fits him because I'd imagine he's very observant since he's so quiet so not a lot of people know much about him but he knows a lot about others.

Andrew Kreiss

Tears to Shed from the Corpse Bride film

The movie is about death and the song is about comparing yourself to others. Nothing else fits quite like this one does. (I can't describe how much I adore Andrew)

Luca Balsa ("Prisoner)

Welcome to the Internet- Bo Burnham

I feel like Luca matches the overall chaotic vibes this song has and he would probably explain the internet just like Burnham did (very quickly and kinda passive aggressively)

Melly Plinus (Entomologist)

Entomologist by GHOST

Need I say more

Edgar Valden (Painter)

My Ordinary Life by The Living Tombstones

This song sounds happy like Edgar

Ganji Gupta (Batter)

The Sports Wii theme song

This is what he gets for beating up my poor Geisha during rank

Anne Lester (Toy Merchant)

Pogo- Living Island

A cheerful song because she deserves it (I have a soft spot for Anne mains)

Ada and Emil (Phycologist and the Patient)

Dark Red by Steve Lacy

I love their relationship so much

Orpheus (Novelist)

Satisfied by Marina and The Diamonds.

I don't know, just seems fitting.

Alice Deross (Journalist)

Ramalama (bang, bang) by Róisín Murphy

If you've ever heard this song, you know exactly why I chose this song.

Hunters

Leo Beck ( Hell Ember)

We'll meet again- Vera Lynn

This song is probably something he would listen to on repeat to hope that it will help him reunite with Emma. (I'm gonna cry)

Jack (The Ripper)

Run Rabbit Run by Flanagan and Allen

I have a feeling that he's one of those killers that taunts his victims so this song fits.

Violetta (Soul Weaver)

Spider's Web by Melanie Martinez (my favorite portals song)

She's literally a giant spider. (And I love her for that)

Michiko (Geisha)

Washing Machine Heart by Mitski

Michiko just wanted to marry the man the man she loved but it was ripped away by her lovers father. (I wanna give my main a hug so bad)

Joseph Desaulniers (Photographer)

Paparazzi by Lady Gaga

You saw this coming, don't lie to me

Burke Lapadura (Mad Eyes)

Rainbow Factory by Glaze

He works on machines and stuff. I don't know, I'm running out of ideas.

Yidhra (Dream Witch)

Puppet Boy by Devo

This is the only song I'm repeating because it fits so well.

Robbie (The Axe Boy)

Teenage Dirt Bag by Wheatus

I feel like it matches his energy as a kid with way too much energy and mischief in his little body.

Mary (Bloody Queen)

Where's your Head at? by Basement Jaxx

You could say she lost her head....I'm done.

BonBon (Guard 26)

Blow! By Ke$ha

His ability is that he can make these explosive thingies when he chair someone.

Ann ("Disciple")

Brutus us by the Buttress

This song was the first thing that came to mind when I saw her, obviously.

Antonio Paganini (Violinist)

Sex with a Ghost by Teddy Hyde

I feel like the "woman in the mirror" could be replaced by the devil he made a deal with.

Galatea Claude (Sculptor)

Breezeblocks by Alt-J

This perfectly describes how I think Galatea felt when her statue was destroyed by her father.

Percy (Undead)

Zydrate Anatomy by Alexa PenaVega, Paris Hilton, and Terrance Zdunich

Another song I can't really explain why but it feels right.

Grace (Naiad)

Siren by Kailee Morgue

Perfect for Naiad by the title alone.

Phillipe (Wax Artist)

Hidden in the Sand by Tally Hall

His backstory has always freaked me out a bit since he literally has a corpse covered in wax glued(?) to his shoulder.

Keigan Nicholas Keogh (Clerk)

The Principle by Melanie Martinez

I feel like Clerk would be the kind of person to subconsciously abuse her power like the principle does.

Alva Lorenz (Hermit)

Rat by Penelope Scott

Alva says he will never know the true answers to humanity so I feel like this song fits into that phrase.

Ithaqua (Night Watch)

Below the Surface by Griffinilla

This song was the first thing to come to mind for him so I'm gonna keep it.

Sangria (Opera Singer)

Ballad of Jane Doe from the Ride the Cyclone musical

Jane doe hits some of the highest notes in this song I've ever seen in a musical and I just feel like Sangria would really like this song.

The fact that the charmed account on twitter changed the colours of the logo to celebrate pride month while not giving an actual fuck about representation ON THE SHOW is so CW (derogatory)

[redinkrain]

Come home.

3.

For a second, Abigael stayed still like a marble statue while Mel’s arms took place around her neck and sobs started to make themselves heard. Unsure of how to be a good friend, the hybrid delicately placed her own arms around the Charmed One’s waist. Posing her chin on top of the Latina’s head, she tightened her embrace and spoke with a gentle voice.

“Let it all go, Love.” Closing her eyes and inhaling a scent that she deeply missed during those few months. “It’s okay. You’re safe.”

The British Lady then stroked the witch’s back slowly, up and down, with the tip of her fingers. And Mel cried, cried for minutes, hours maybe. None of the two women were putting their attention on the time passing by. The Vera sister calmed down eventually with the soothing movement of Abby’s hand anchoring her. She took a deep breath and without letting go of Abigael’s neck, she looked into those hazel eyes that haunted her some nights. Most nights, when sleep did came. That damn expression tracing the woman’s gaze. That fucking same expression that always left Mel with the wish to be wholly swallowed. So much words unspoken. But the witch exhausted couldn’t brought herself to have this conversation with the half-demon half-witch, not right now.

Abigael used one of her hand and brought it up to the Latina’s cheek, wiping some tears that kept escaping the witch’s eyes. Mel leaned into her touch but her eyes stayed glued to her guest’s ones.

“I didn’t even say “hi”.” The witch whispered with a smile.

“Good evening, Love.” The woman answered with a small smile of her own and with that accent Mel liked so much.

Mel couldn’t stopped herself and so she put her friend in a new embrace, but this time, she hugged her tighter. Abigael responded to this act of affection with as much will and tenderness. Listening to the beating heart of the hybrid, Mel felt a tiny bit better. In her head and in her heart at list, because her legs? Well, it seemed that her two legs had her own agenda. The witch almost fell but Abby firmly kept a grip on her. She helped the Vera sister to sit back.

“You should rest, Mel. You’re exhausted. Have you eat anything today?” the hybrid asked, worries clear in her tone.

“No.” The Latina simply answered.

“Then rest here. I will go out and buy something for you to eat.”

The half-demon half-witch turned around and was about to leave when fingers gripped at her wrist.

“Wait!” Mel stated. “Can you stay a bit longer? We can grab something to eat on our way home, right?”

Home, what a strange choice of word Abby thought. She never had a home. Not really. What was a home anyway? Was it the same thing for everyone? Or did its definition changed depending on who you were asking? But then Waverly’s voice resonated in her mind “You do love her”. And Abby wondered: what if a home wasn’t a place, what if home and love were just parts of the same coin?

She gazed at Mel, and got down on one knee so the witch didn’t have to look up.

“Allow me to at least bring you something to drink. Tea maybe?” The British Lady asked.

Melanie’s eyes softened even more at that sentence.

“A tea would be great. Thank you.” She smiled at her guest.

“I’ll be back shortly.” Abby said while standing up.

She disappeared in a dark smoke before coming back five minutes later with a cup of tea. The hybrid gave it to the witch. Then, she went to take a stool and placed it in front of Mel. She sat on it and observed the Latina who was sipping her tea.

“So… Why are you here?” The Vera sister questioned quietly.

“Well, because your sister called me and silently asked for assistance regarding your current hunt on demons!” The ex-Demon Overlord said with a little scowl to make a point then it disappeared. “But honestly Melanie, I was worried about you and it was just the perfect excuse to come and do my best to help you in anyway I can… If you want of course.” She continued a little worried about Mel’s reaction.

“I’m sorry Abby…” The witch whispered.

“Why would you be sorry?” Now the hybrid was confused.

“Sorry for not texting you back, for not telling you about what happened. You deserve better than that.” The Latina looked away.

“Why didn’t you tell me?” she kept her tone light with maybe a little bit of… hurt?

“I-, I don’t know Abby. I guess I-…” Mel was looking for the right words, but she wasn’t even sure to know what she wanted to say.

“You do not have to answer if you don’t want to.” The British Lady tried to be supportive of her friend.

“It’s just, I guess that seeing to pictures of you with your niece, reading your texts. I felt your happiness and I didn’t want to bother you with my pain.” She blurted out looking at the concrete floor.

Abigael took one of her hand and placed it between hers, tugging a little, sign for the Charmed One to look at her.

“Look at me, Mel.” That damn tenderness enveloping her voice again. “You will never trouble me with your sorrow. What you gave me... I will never be able to repay you. That happiness you mentioned? I am learning what it means, what if feels like and… Truthfully you are a part of its meaning. So, I want to be here for you, but only if you’ll have me…?”

The witch was speechless hearing this confession from the half-demon half-witch, but then again, it wasn’t the first time Abigael was being honest about what she was feeling for her.

“I’ve missed you…” she simply whispered.

The British Lady kept her mouth shut, knowing her friend had more to say, but the corner of her mouth curled in a smile. Her hands continued to envelop Mel’s one.

“Abby, I feel like I’ve lost a part of myself since she’s gone. And I know it’s stupid because present me is her past. But I can’t stop thinking of the future. What if changing the present will affect her in the future like you know... she won’t even exist…?” Tears started to flow again, and a river of it made its way on the Charmed One’s cheeks.

“Nothing of what you feel is stupid, Mel. You gave birth to your child, present or future, Eva was, is and always will be your daughter. She’s gone, Love, not lost. You said “goodbye”, not “farewell”. You will see her when the time is right. And of course, changing the present will affect her, but not the way you are thinking.” Abby posed. “Mel, you gave her everything she needed, providing her with security and healthiness. Her future will be bright, and if there is any shadow to come on her path? I have no doubt nor worry that you will be there to protect her once again. You have been an incredible mother to her in a past that she won’t remember and you will be, as I said, a fantastic mother in the future.” The hybrid finished her sentence with so much conviction that the Latina couldn’t disagree with her.

They stared at each other once more, and again Abby wiped away the tears that were still on the Vera sister’s cheek. Something in Mel’s heart burnt at the way Abby was acting right now. She thought about the half witch’s lips, about the taste of her tongue, and all she wanted to do was to lean in and kiss her. When she was about to do exactly just that, Abigael cleared her throat.

“Shall I take you home?” the hybrid questioned gently.

Melanie observed Abby’s eyes, then lowered her gazed to her lips, then her eyes again. A little smirk marked the half demon’s lips. Even though all she wanted to do was to erase this smirk from Abigael with her own lips, the Charmed One stood up straight. Her hand preciously locked up between the British Lady’s ones.

“Yes, please.” looking down at Abby, who was searching something in the witch’s eyes.

Abigael raised in one smooth movement and helped out Mel to do the same. They were so close that their nose almost touched the other's face. Their eyes locked and their lips were about to connect when Mel’s stomach growled.

Abby laughed at the sound, and placed a kiss on her friend’s forehead.

“Come on now Miss Walking Stomach, I think you need to be fed.” the hybrid said giddily.

Mel rolled her eyes at that nickname, and had to hide her smile while Abby turned around. They walked to the stairs and took the direction of the Vera-Vaughn-Greenwood’s Manor, hand in hand without even realizing it...

[mr-walkingrainbow]

sick/ill abimel please <3

Sick/ill

Aka Abby and her weird ass demon genes

“YOW!” Macy yelled, yanking her arm back as if it was on fire.

Everyone shot her a confused and concerned look.

“My love, are you ok?” Harry questioned nervously.

“Don’t look at me,” she exclaimed, pointing her free hand at Mels girlfriend, “Look at Abby! She burned me!”

“Now wait a second,” the later bristled, “I did nothing of the sort. I only bumped into you.”

The eldest rolled her eyes, “Yeah sure, Miss Overlord-I-have-fire-powers-and love-pain.”

Mel growled, stepping forward, “Macy. If my girlfriend said she didn’t burn you. Then she didn’t burn you.”

“Well then what do you call THIS?” Macy held up her arm, sleeve rolled up to show a reddish mark.

Yeah... that was definitely a burn she couldn’t argue against that.

“Abby?” She whispered discreetly, slinking up to her taller girlfriend to wrap her arms around her, “Is it possible you accidentally- OW!”

Mel also took a step back, waving her arms frantically to numb the sting.

“I TOLD you!” Macy accused mercilessly, “She’s doing it on purpose.”

“Now wait a minute,” Maggie piped up finally, “Macy don’t you think your being a tad bit unfair? Mel is Abbys girlfriend, she wouldn’t hurt her on purpose.”

“N-no! I’d never!” Abigael sputtered out, “I-I’d rather die then hurt her. Bloody hell. Mel did I hurt you?”

Her voice had turned so vulnerable and desperate, that it nearly hurt her to hear.

“No,” she smiled soothingly, “No of course not. And even if you did I know it was just an accident.”

“Well then why did Abby burn us if it wasn’t on purpose?” Macy was being a bit more cold then usual, but she never handled pain well so Mel hoped Abby didn’t take it too seriously .

It was then she got an idea, a hunch more like it. And she didn’t exactly like it.

“Hey sweetheart?... Do you feel ok?”

Abbys eyebrows furrowed, “Yeah, why?”

“Well,” she started slowly, “You’d only get this warm if you burned us on purpose, which I know you didn’t, or, you were running a fever. You naturally have a higher temperature cause of your demon side, but if it was enough to cause pain then your temperature must be up.”

“Huh?” Abby reached up to feel her forehead. Once her skin made contact with her hand, it hissed, light steam wafting up.

“Um, that’s new?” Maggie commented.

“Odd?” The Britt muttered, “I usually know if I’m feeling -Oh.”

Their was a moment where she stared into nothingness, before her eyes locked onto Mels.

“Lovely, I think you better get close to me.”

“Why?” She questioned nervously. It’s not that she didn’t trust her girlfriend, but Abby wasn’t the most private of people, and Mel was nearly afraid she’d turn on some sexual prowess.

Abby scoffed, “Because I’m about to pass out and I don’t want to hurt-“

-In the next second her body went slack, Mel diving to catch her before she hit anything.

“Carino??? CARINO?!?” She yelled frantically, ignoring the sting of the body’s searing temperature.

“HARRY?!”

“ON IT!”

The whitelighter orbed the few feet towards Abigael, leaving Maggie to comfort a distraught Macy.

His hands glowed bright as he kneeled, wafting them over Abbys unconscious form.

Harry tisked lightly, glancing at Mel with unease.

“Harry whats wrong?” She demanded.

“Em, she’s running a bit of a fever.”

“Yeah I got that.”

He wrung his hands a bit nervously, something seemed to be more wrong then usual.

“What’s wrong?” The Latina panicked, “What does she have???”

“A cold.” He stated simply.

Oh their was about to be a murder on elm street,

“A COLD??” Mel screamed, “YOU HAD ME SCARED OVER A COLD?!”

“Now hold on,” he raised his hand, “This is not a normal cold.”

“Yeah,” she scoffed, “My girlfriends a demon hybrid, I could have told you that.”

“No it’s not just that,” Harry continued, “This is different from her other colds. Which is why it happened so suddenly. And without her knowledge.”

“But what could be so diff-“ the Latina broke off. Realization dawning on her.

“Her demon side.”

Harry nodded grimly, “Sadly, you are correct. It seems her demon form attempted to hit her with a cold so severe, and so rapidly, that even her natural demon tolerance wouldn’t be able to fight it off.”

“Wait but that means.... Harry. You have to wake her up.”

The later just stared at her.

“HARRY! Wake her UP!”

Mel was turning frantic, gripping her girlfriend tightly even though it burned.

“Harry I swear if you don’t bloody wake her up now she won’t be the only one unconscious.”

That certainly got him to move, clearing his throat a few times, the whitelighter allowed his hands to glow once again. Drifting them over Abigaels body till they rested on her forehead.

“Ugh!” Harry panted, gritting his teeth. Whatever was happening to Abigael was taking a lot out of him. The motion evident by the exhaustion on his face.

He was pushed back lightly, hands whirling to break his momentum. The man looked utterly spent.

“Harry?” Mel questioned nervously, “Did-did you do it?”

“Mmmel?”

The Latina gasped, glancing down at her lover, Abigeals eyes fluttering open.

“Oh! Oh dois mio! Mi amor your ok!”

“Well,” the later laminated, “Ok seems a bit of a stretch. God. Bleeding Mary, what did I drink? I feel as if I’m both dying and being born simultaneously.”

“It’s gonna be ok Cariño.” She soothed through a concerned smile, “Just relax ok?”

Mel then smoothed the hair plastered to Abbys sweaty forehead out of the way. Resorting to stroking it just how she liked.

Abby closed her eyes instinctively, humming in content.

She glanced towards the tired Harry slumped against the wall, eyes practically begging to know why Abigael felt this way.

“I’ve curbed the worst of it,” he eventually stated, breaths coming in deep and slow, “From now on, you just have to treat it like one of her regular demon colds.”

“Oh thank the Latina lesbian goddesses,” she praised under her breath, glancing at Harry thankfully.

“Harry, I can’t.... I can’t thank you enough for what you just did.”

He smiled warmly, “Anytime Melanie. It might take a bit out of me, but I’d gladly do it again if it meant she turns out healthy and well.”

Her gaze traveled back to the woman resting in her lap. Wondering just how she was gonna transport to the couch.

She felt someone tap her on the shoulder, and her eyes met her older sisters.

“Let me.” Macy stated kindly. It seemed she had read Mels mind, (and wanted to make up for her earlier attitude)

With a gentle flourish, Macy lifted Abigael telepathically, and carefully set her on the couch.

“Their.” She smiled, “Now, I’m gonna help Harry get back in sorts, but afterwards I’ll help Maggie with the Vera famous chicken noodle soup.”

Mel grinned back, looking at her with a new level of appreciation.

Macy blushed lightly, “I was kind of a jerk earlier. Abigaels changed and I can’t keep holding her to her earlier persona. Besides.”

She glanced at the semi lucid form on the couch, smirking.

“This persona seems to love you very very much.”

It was the Latinas turn to blush, mumbling something in thanks before rushing over to her sick girlfriend.

“Hey there.” She crooned softly, resuming her earlier motions on the laters forehead.

Abigael hummed once again, making a noise in acknowledging.

“You should get some sleep, “ Mel stated, “Were gonna take good care of you.”

“Mmel?” Abby groaned suddenly , eyes blearily looking at her, “Don’t go?”

She smiled, leaning down to press a kiss to her warm temple,

“Of course Cariño. I’d never leave you.”

With that verbal affirmation, Abigael squirmed lightly, making some adorable noises along the way as she got more comfortable. In the end, she was practically curled around Mels form, wrapped in her favorite blanket they kept out on the couch just for her.

The Latina continued to stroke her girlfriends forehead lovingly. Making sure the blanket was efficiently tucked in around her.

“Sleep well, Mi amor.”

Father’s Day Blues

its a short fic. As you can tell I pretty much write whenever I fancy, I don’t do a lot of multi-chapters though. Happy Father’s day! This isn’t hacy centric(there’s light hacy in it) but more of the whole family feeling down on Father’s Day.(yes Harry is apart of the whole family)

To me Harry is kinda like Mel & Maggie’s adopted grandpa/uncle in some ways, even though he still looks young he’s old fashioned in a lot of ways. And his friendship/relationship with Maggie is so cute it makes me melt.

Maggie laid on her bed like a dead and depressed fish. Father’s day always kinda sucked for the youngest and bubbliest daughter in the family because she always had the utmost faith in Ray who she feels very weird towards now, since discovering her dad was actually Dexter Vaughn, her older full sister’s father, who’s also dead. Now she had about 0 dad’s, unless you semi squint counted Harry who in true old man grandfather fashion doted on the girls, scolded her when she got distracted and made them full breakfast every morning and gave her hugs when she cried and pep talks when she felt down before droning on about the old days and england(the parts he did remember after 1957), complete with dumb dad jokes. 

In her room Mel was sitting in her bed, she didn’t care for Father’s day or Ray, her father, really. Ray left her and Maggie, it broke her heart a long time ago but she didn’t keep hope for long and it broke poor Maggie’s heart year after year, if it wasn’t bad enough to learn Maggie’s actual dad was forced to leave and stay away from Marisol(except apparently when they would meet up for tryst). Mel did feel bad for their resident whitelighter though, he had been looking super down and out since the beginning of June and realizing Father’s Day was this month, spending more time in his condo probably crying into cups of tea. Poor Harry forced himself to move on for the girl’s sakes and convinced himself that his son was ok and didn’t need him despite after getting a hold of his powers he sobbed on top of her head while she hugged him. Still he missed out on even seeing his grandchildren grow up. Mel warmed up a lot to Harry and trusted him with her life, that’s why she managed to get something special for Father’s Day, it was mushy but it was the least she could do. 

Macy sat on her bed staring at a picture of her Father. He died several years ago and she remembered the pain she felt of not having a mother, who she thought didn’t want her, or a father now. It seemed like everyone was having a crappy Father’s Day. Maggie was heartbroken because she had 2 dads and neither of them were there, Mel already disliked Ray immensely, Harry was sad from missing the kids and grandkids he can’t contact unless he wanted his powers to go bonkers and he refused to lie and call himself a 3rd cousin or something. Macy glanced at the clock, it was 8:30, enough time to make it to brunch. 

Macy went to Maggie’s room and helped her little sister out of bed and led her down the hall to Mel’s room without a word until she had them both sitting. “I have an idea.” Macy presented. “I know Father’s day is really sucky for all of us, so why don’t we pick a place to go brunch to fill ourselves with food and mimosas to feel better, then we can come back home and make a special cake I’ve been wanting to attempt.” 

“Mimosas?” Maggie said straightening up abit. She did like mimosas... and she could go for a full breakfast. 

“We could see who’s doing a Father’s Day brunch and take Harry.” Mel added.

Both girls turned to Mel. “What? You guys didn’t see how much he cried after we saw his son, if anyone deserves to have a good Father’s Day its Harry, it wasn’t even his fault he was taken away from Carter... unlike others..” she mumbled the last part. “Also I... got him this.” Mel grabbed a box off her night stand, in it she held up a silver band bracelet with a small clock in the middle with names engraved on it. “It’s his son and grandkid’s names.” The two other girls awed and gave Mel a nudge for being a softie which she waved off.

“You’re right. Harry is like a estranged British Grandpa practically living in our house. I know he’s been acting weirdly since the beginning of the month.” Maggie agreed. 

Macy thought about how horrible Harry must have been feeling period from the past few months, two women he held affection for, one in a romantic way and one in a familial sense both betrayed him, he found out he had a son and can’t even be with him, and not to mention how Harry felt about her which he asked her to pretend she didn’t know anything(which technically she didn’t verbally agree to). His heart must be sore. 

“Well we have an hour or so until brunch starts. Mel let’s get Harry out of his condo today.” Mel nodded and texted Harry to just simply get dressed and meet them at the house at 9:45. It took him a few minutes, but he replied he would be there. 

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

“Hello ladies, what is going on today?” Hary showed up to the Vera-Vaughn household, dapper as usual but no smiles. 

“You’ll see.” Maggie scurried towards him with a bandana and proceeded to tie it around his eyes, which he fussed at. “Margarita Vera, what are you doing?” 

“Stop fighting it Harry, just relax it’s gonna be a surprise!” she squealed. 

“Oh dear.” 

Maggie led him by the blazer to Macy’s car and sat with him in the back while Mel played navigator by holding the phone up so Macy could hear the directions. Mel and Maggie picked the place having a Father’s Day brunch, the other places were more sports themed, which wasn’t really Harry’s cup of tea. The place they chose was more his speed, fancy and spiffy. 

When they arrived, Macy and Maggie led him up the stairs by the hand, which Maggie forgot to not touch his hand because she got some mixed signals from both Harry and Macy. “She smells so good. Where are they taking me. I hope he likes his surprise. Harry looks so cute all confused. He smells really good too.” 

Maggie let go of his hand and decided to file what she just heard away for later not wanting to make the mood awkward by asking those two what was going on with that. 

“Table for 4 please.” Harry heard Mel ask, there was a noise of people around, and the smell of food. The girls led him some more, Maggie’s tiny hand had disappeared from his and took his arm instead. Macy’s smooth soft hands still in his. 

“TA-DA!” Mel whipped the blindfold off of Harry. “It’s a Father’s Day brunch.” She explained. They were on a rooftop with a few other families up there. 

“Why Melanie, Maggie.. Macy,” he breathed “You didn’t have to..” he said. 

“Nonsense, you may not be our dad but you’re like a live in grandpa.” Maggie smiled. 

“Oh, girls, you’re all so sweet. I think I may have the best charges in all of the magical world.” the girls all cooed at this. 

Once seated Maggie explained the menu was all you can eat and they’ bring anything you would order and unlimited drinks, 2 at a time for entrees. They also refused for him paying for his own, Mel paid for herself and Harry while Macy paid for herself and Maggie who also held Harry’s wallet hostage.

After round 1 of their food, Mel presented Harry with his gift. Harry’s eyes began to water a bit at the silver clock bangle. “Thank you, my dear.” he sniffled out. 

“Aww Harry don’t cry.”Macy and Maggie rubbed his shoulder. 

“I’m not crying I have summer allergies.” He wiped at his eye laughing. They all gave him a hug and wished him a happy Father’s day. Macy suggested they go to the mall afterwards to get the supplies needed for the special cake she was going to make later, which Maggie agreed to because she couldn’t resist the Mall. “I’m making a special fruit topped cake and victoria sandwiches. I thought Harry might like a taste of home.” She looked at him with a sweet smile.

“Thank you girls. This is one of happiest moments in my life as a whitelighter.” Maggie hugged his torso as he hugged her back again. He did love his girls.

One day I'm gonna write an essay about the writers' problematic treatment of Mel's character on Charmed. A show can have a queer character and still be somewhat homophobic. Charmed is a show with three woc as leads that still managed to be racist by having one of said leads kneel in front of the only white villain. So the argoment that a show/network can't be racist/homophobic, etc. because at some point it had some sort of representation is naive imo.

on the way Mel is being written, I feel s1 wrote her well. Fiery latina thing while chliche wasn't off. S3 seems to be doing way better than s2 so far. Don't like how an activist is so dismissive of suicidal traits, but hoping it's leading to a proper convo. While I was pro Melby @ 1st what's the point of a romantic storyline if it's off screen? Ruby is a great character but imo it's hard to root and get attached to something we see nothing off. We maybe see them once every 5 episodes. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Let’s just ignore season 2 altogether! Except a few things (Jordan, my light), the season was a nightmare. Mel was treated as a guest most of the time or a deus ex machina. As her fan it was painful to watch. I do agree that they’re doing better in season 3 as far as her characterisation is concerned. 

My biggest problem is not with way they’re writing the character, but in the way they’re handling her love life. I always got the impression that her sexuality was used to just pander fans. The show called itself ‘woke’ so they had to have a queer character. That character happened to be Mel, box checked. But they never treated it with respect. When you look at queer relationships  (especially mlm and wlw) writers tend to rush them at best. Charmed writers had a chance to change that but they decide not to. Mel was already in a relationship when the show started. Still, they could have created a slow burn relationship (with Jada, with Kat, and with Ruby) like they did with Macy/Harry and Jordan/Maggie, but they didn’t. They rush her in relationships so they don’t have to worry about dedicate time to a queer relationship. At least that’s the impression I got. I also have the feeling that they desexualise her, but I don’t know if this is because of her sexuality or because of her age (she’s over 30, so old for the cw standard) and her being a woc, since they don’t have this kind of problem with Abigael or Maggie (I swear the kid had more sex scenes that her two adult sisters, both in committed relationship during the first two seasons - season 3 doesn’t count because of covid). 

I totally agree about Ruby. It took me time to appreciate her character and her relationship with Mel because of the lack of screentime. And it’s absolutely problematic. That’s why we keep demanding more scenes. I think this will change next season. For what I’ve heard, Bethany was busy on other project this season and because of covid restrictions (15 days of quarantine before shooting) they couldn’t have in all the eps they wanted. We just have to wait and see.

(I’ve said it before, I understand why people are drawn to abimel. I would have been too, if the show treated said character differently. I know that the writers are to blame for this, but still what we see is what we get. So I don’t have problem with the ship in fanfictions (where writers can do her character justice), I just can’t on the show. I should ignore too many things that for me are important and serious)

Now, Mel being dismissive of suicidal traits, it’s not really a surprise for me because the show has been ignoring Macy’s depression since season 1. That’s not on Mel, that’s on the writers who really don’t have any idea how to deal with this. But Mel ignoring A.’s pain (I think you’re referring to that), it’s a bit more complicated than that. Because Mel doesn’t owe her anything. Yes, you could call them frenemies now but this doesn’t cancel all that A. did (whether you consider it unforgivable or not). The writers shouldn’t have put her in this situation in the first case. What I find way more serious is the way Mel was dismissive of Macy’s trauma last season. The Mel we know (and love) would’ve never be chill about what happened between Macy and Jimmy, which was horrible. 

I hope I answered your questions!
