Figure 1: The Author's Note Of My Most Popular Fic To Date.

I dont know what to say other than I read @pendale 's titanic au drabble like an hour ago (go read that if you havent) and then furiously wrote this.

"James Cameron is full of shit," Eloise says as the screen fades to black and the credits begin to roll. "I still say they both could have fit."

"Not this again," Theo laughs, half out of desperation, and half actual humor. He pinches the bridge of nose. "For the last time, El, it's about the bouyancy, not how much space they had to occupy."

Eloise smirks, popping a piece of popcorn in her month. To the victor goes the spoils, she thinks. It's become much, much too easy, lulling Theo into an argument like this. Most of their movie nights end up following a similar route.

"All they had to do was tie Rose's lifejacket-"

"I swear to God, if you bring up the Mythbusters thing again-"

She throws an M&M at her boyfriend's face, aiming for his forehead. He catches it in his mouth instead. She would be more annoyed about it, but it was an pretty impressive catch, so she gets her revenge by throwing herself at him and toppling them both down onto the couch cushions.

She settles on top of him, and Theo's arms wrap snugly around her waist as he peers up at her with a gaze so open that even after years of receiving it, it still sparks crackling electricity to erupt throughout her body.

(The same sensation she had had the first year of university watching him arrive in the middle of a lecture with the most endearing blush on his face before taking a seat next to her.)

"I don't think Jack and Rose were in the right frame of mind to have come up with such an elaborate plan," Theo tells her, "you know, with all the freezing to death and what not."

"Sucks to be them," Eloise says plainly. "I  would have thought of it."

"Of course you would have."

She sinks more fully onto him, pressing them further into the cushions. She'd called it payback for his teasing, but it's hardly a punishment. "I'm just saying, if I had a gorgeous peasant in front of me I wouldn't simply sit back and do nothing while they turn into a corpse."

"I don't know if I should be flattered you called me gorgeous, or offended you called me a peasant."

"Who said I was talking about you?" She raises a challenging eyebrow.

Theo laughs. "Well, you're too old for Leo Dicaprio, so I know you're not talking about him."

Eloise smooths her hands down his solid chest, appreciating the way his features get caught in the glow of the television. Something anchors itself in her ribcage, heart tied to this spot, this moment, this man. She holds no desire untether it. "I would have gotten us out alive," she says softly-- not a boast, but a declaration. "I would have saved you."

"I know you would have," Theo pulls her closer. "There's not a bone in my body that would ever cast doubt on you."

She shows her gratitude for such unwavering confidence by capturing his lips in a kiss-- slow and sweet, and without any emerging danger or impending doom to hurry them along. Theo’s fingers tease the hem of shirt, and her own take to their favored position of curling in his hair, and her opinion is only cemented further.

James Cameron and the freezing waters of the Atlantic Ocean be dammed. There's nothing in the world that could keep her from having this.

Theloise Crack Fic Idea

Tempted to write a season 2 fic that throws both historical accuracy and show consistency out the window and has Theo say "fuck it" and leave work to visit Eloise at her house. He shows up in his work attire and Anthony is all "what the fuck who are you and what are you doing at my house" and Theo’s like "I’ve come to call on Eloise" and Anthony, who’s already on the verge of a mental breakdown because of Kate and Edwina, just goes "fuck it, it’s your funeral" because surely his sister will eat this man alive, right?

But then, they actually seem to like each other. And not only that, they seem to know each other...and that’s when Anthony officially loses it.

Edit: Link.

Sex and the City (1998–2004)

Be like Ron. Don’t give a shit.

Dair gives strong Theloise vibes and I will never shut up about it!

i’m so sick of people saying that if theloise will happen eloise will be estranged from the ton because it is simply not true imo!! we all know how eloise feels about that society but still, she wouldn’t want to be left out. fortunately that is not the case. some people use this argument to explain why eloise and theo won’t be together but my point still stands: money, social status and society rules won’t be the reasons why they won’t end up together. those are just lame excuses. well, they may be if, for example, theo decides to let her go because he doesn’t feel worthy of her or something like that, but for me this is the only case. but the thing is: they could end up together.

let’s talk about the bridgerton family. we all know how much they value love, especially violet. she made this clear in the books (where she also talked about class!!),

and she made it clear in the tv show, both in s1 and s2

obviously, the head of the household is anthony. we saw, at the beginning of s2, that he’d decided to put duty above everything else but eventually he let it go and decided to choose love. and i’m sure he’ll want the same for his siblings. of course, this is a tv show, there will be conflicts, but he wants his siblings to experience his same happiness. also, mary sharma’s backstory in the show. kate’s dad. c’mon it would be VERY hypocritical to disapprove.

the queen. if she approves of something, the rest of the ton approves as well. we all remember the wrecking ball dance and how she literally meddled in the discussion, and lied lol, to avoid rumors because she saw the love between anthony and kate. of course everyone knew, even the queen, that that was, in fact, the reason why the wedding wasn’t celebrated, but in that moment it didn’t matter. she forgot about the failed wedding and watched the couple on the dance floor.

like violet, even the queen seems to love love. calam agrees with me. he said:

so i believe that if theo and eloise decide to be together and decide to do it properly, the queen would approve. i say “properly” because we all saw how the queen reacted when she saw lady mary. haters use that scene to prove their point but i want to use that scene to prove MY point. queen charlotte said:

she was mad. lady mary eloped (correct me if i’m wrong). but she did what she had to dobbecause she didn’t have the support of her family. but eloise does and the bridgertons would help her with the queen. they will help her explain the situation to her majesty. and again, the queen loves love. she was mad at simon and daph too when the engagement was announced but, let’s be honest, she loved simon’s speech. she loves to see two people in love.

so, in conclusion, social status is not what will get in the way of their relationship. i don’t know what they will come up with to break them up and i hope the writers will choose the right path.

i could talk about how they’re perfect for each other and use eloise, claudia and calam’s words to explain my point and the whole marina’s situation, but that’s another story. if they have to go separate ways, i just hope they will part as friends. i don’t want them to ruin his character so that people will root for phillip.

thanks for coming to my tedtalk🫶🏻

Okay, this is a sign to start that Theloise Hunger Games AU.
