Like I imagine Astor (in Accidental Revolution AU) walking past Elodie, his gaze flickering over her as if she’s wallpaper and meanwhile she’s GAWKING because THAT’S HIM. Her HERO.
TOTALLY had a daydream about this + Offering AU (the original one where he abandons her when she’s pregnant. Okay, not abandons – “frees.”
Post War all the time, yes, but also like Professor Astor AU trying to avoid a visit from Marigold while Elodie barely contains her snickers in his lap.
