Dair Parallels (144/?)

My brain is just my superiority complex and my inferiority complex battling for dominance. And the latter is winning.

Theloise Hunger Games AU

(aka: Born To Die)

The forest around her was still, holding its breath as she lined up her shot, the tree standing strong and silent before her. She inhaled deeply, her senses sharpening—the crisp scent of pine, the gentle rustle of leaves, the distant call of a bird. She drew back the string, focusing intently, when—

“Eloise Bridgerton.”

Eloise cursed under her breath as her arrow flew through the air, a flash of wood and feathers, before piercing the bark of her intended target.

The forest seemed to exhale around her.

“Go on, then,” she said, turning to face her brother. “Chastise me.”

I'm going to share some Modern AU headcanons about Theloise because I thought about this a lot while writing The Manuscript:

Not only are they both coffee addicts, they both have the same order! Here's a snippet from an old WIP of mine where they reunite after a decade:

Theo passed Eloise her coffee—one cream, one sugar, same as always—before sitting down with his own coffee—also one cream, one sugar, same as always.

2. I can see Theo working at a publishing company (sort of the modern-day version of a print shop), working as a political journalist, or working as a lawyer! Similarly, I can see Eloise as a lawyer or in academia. I can also see them getting involved with organizations like the UN, or some non-profit organizations.

Regardless of their occupation, political activism is very important to them!

3. I like to think Eloise and Theo would enjoy reading from more modern-day female authors like Sally Rooney, Toni Morrison, Joan Didion, etc.

4. Eloise's favourite Jane Austen novel is Emma, while Theo's is Persuasion. I actually have an old WIP where Penelope and Colin spy on Eloise and Theo and overhear them arguing over the best Austen novel (their arguments are very surface level though because I'm not very well-versed in Austen lol).

5. I can see Theo being friends with people like Benedict, Colin, and Footman John! Maybe Kate, as well?

6. Eloise has a fear of spiders. No, I'm totally not projecting (🤡).

(But Theo kills them for her so it's all good.)

Also I just noticed the question only asks for one headcanon...oh, well. Thanks for the ask! <3
