It is complete!
Logan, hungover: Please tell me I'm imagining that I claimed I was king of the ducks.
Ben: I would, but then I would be lying to the King of All Ducks.
PLEASEEEEEE I NEED MORE OF THIS IM BEGGING BRO
Ok but I love the idea of the SBG living together in the future, they all take care of each other and help each other with the shared PTSD.
Logan being the designated driver when the others drink
Aiden calming Ash down when she starts thinking the gate is reopening
Tyler making food for the others when one of them is sick and he’s off work
Logan and Taylor working together on projects (seeing as I see both of them going into similar fields that commonly overlap)
Ben doing late night shopping for the this week’s grocery
Taylor and Tyler feeling more safe seeing as they live together
Them all sharing and loving a support animal (some yapy dog Or a big dog)
What kind of cars the gang would have
Ashlyn winds up with a jeep. 100%. Though, she doesn’t exactly drive all that often. She tends to carpool with the others, seeing as it’s kinda illegal to drive with earplugs or muffs
Aiden absolutely has a truck or something with four wheel drive that he can take off road. I also feel like he’s been introduced to mud bogging since coming to Georgia so I wouldn’t be too surprised if he had a second car or even a buggy for that. Honestly leaning towards a Ford Bronco car wise though.
Ben something more practical, definitely some sort of sedan. He’d want something with pretty decent safety ratings especially if he’d be driving around with his sister. I can see him having a Toyota Camry.
Logan. Another sedan, though something on the smaller side, for sure. Maybe a Corolla? though I think him having a scooter would be likely as well. they’re fairly cheap plus I kinda can’t unsee it.
Taylor. You can’t convince me that she doesn’t wind up with an older truck or car that she’s personally fixing up. If it’s not her everyday car then it’s def a passion project. But for the most part she would have the oldie and let Tyler have a car of his own.
Tyler stumped me a little I was caught between a smaller truck or even a sedan or suv but I think he’d go for a truck. Something on the smaller side though, he doesn’t seem like the sort who would have a big luxury truck or anything like that. At most Taylor has given it a makeover under the hood, though nothing overly loud.
imagine, if you will, a sbg fantasy au
I don't know if anyone's done this yet but here we go! I'm a huge fantasy nerd, so I might be biased here, but I think sbg in a fantasy setting would go hard. now you could really throw in any ships, but personally, I built this idea around Tyden and Taylyn
so consider this:
(fair warning, this got a lot longer than I thought it would, I kinda ran with it)
Tyler and Taylor are the prince and princess of the kingdom, but they've essentially been running the country since they became teenagers what with their father having passed away and their mother being unfit to rule due to her mental state after her husband's passing. After their father died, Tyler still takes on the role of caretaker of sorts. Sometimes he even has a habit of burning himself out, Taylor and Ashlyn have to remind him often that it's okay to take a break. Ashlyn actually pulled him to the side one night and practically forced him to let Taylor start taking on more responsibilities, just so that he wouldn't fall under the weight of the kingdom.
On the subject of Ashlyn, her parents served in the king and queen's royal guard, and she even followed in her parent's footsteps. Considering both her lineage and the fact that she basically grew up with Tyler and Taylor, she winds up becoming the personal guard of the prince and princess(the twins) and the acting captain of the royal guard once she's deemed ready (which considering it's Ashlyn, is relatively quick). When it comes to her hearing, she'd definitely have some sort of wool or something put in her helmet to help muffle any loud noises. But her hearing also makes her a perfect guard, even allowing her to keep surveillance a fair distance away.
Eventually, it comes a time when the advisers decide that Tyler is of an age that he needs to find a suitor. The twins manage to fight it for as long as they can but when they turn 19, there's no getting around it. This would be around the time that Aiden and Ben show up, though for an unrelated reason.
See, Aiden is a prince himself, and Ben is a nobleman(title unknown) with close blood relation to the throne as well. Aiden isn't exactly all that into being a prince though, he'd rather go out, have fun, and be an adventurer (which is exactly what he's doing in the twin's kingdom) Ben is there to make sure Aiden doesn't get himself killed or cause any trouble with any foreign powers (friendly or otherwise).
As for Logan, well, his knack for astrology isn't going to waste, that's for sure. See, he's the apprentice of the kingdom's Royal Astronomer. And he absolutely loves it. Not only does he get to study the stars and be able to help support his grandparents, who would still run a flower shop in the capital's town square
Now of course rumors floating around the castle staff that Taylor has a secret love. Granted they can never catch a glimpse of the mystery suitor, (thanks to Ashlyn's super hearing) but the kitchen staff has it on good authority that it's someone from the royal guard. (Ashlyn and Taylor likely would have kept their relationship on the down-low for a bit in the beginning, but would eventually take it public, I mean, who's gonna stop them? the twins run the country, and of course, their mom just wants them to be happy and maybe give her a grandkid or two if either of them wants to have any)
That being said, the idea of little secret late-night rendevous where they wander the castle grounds talking and maybe wind up stargazing in the gardens is too good to pass up (They may not know as much about astronomy as say Logan, but they would definitely make up their own constellations and stories to go with them)
As for our other pair: Naturally, Tyler has a very strong opinion of Aiden. He's not exactly princely, and he does NOT like the fact his attitude when it comes to the politics of being in a royal family. But at the same time, this not-so-princely prince isn't like any other noble or royal he's ever met. He's intrigued. Deep down, there's a part of Tyler that wants to know more about Aiden and the world that he's gotten to explore and adventure through.
In the end, Aiden may or may not be the one who manages to get Tyler to enjoy his youth while he can, convincing him that the weight of the world doesn't have to fall on his shoulders alone. And Tyler may or may not have found himself a suitor in the process.
