“There’s no need to look so serious.”

#do you think Sybil saw it #do you think it occurred to her for a moment to step around the car and push it off his face #and when she walks away she wonders about it #why should it bother her if Tom’s hair is a little out of place #… #Branson #Branson’s hair #that’s what she meant to say #then she hurries back to the house and tries to forget about him and his stupid plans #(she already knows she won’t)

mariedemedicis asked:

hmm Sybil and Tom ballet au?

shana-rosee answered:

1. Sybil comes from a long line of ballet dancers. Both her sisters became Prima ballerinas with different troupes. Tom is repairmen hired by the ballet house. He works odd hours but it’s worth it because he’ll have enough money to pay for grad school.

2. Tom has seen her around before sometimes in the hallways or repairing something during practice but it’s not until the night before new show that they truly meet. Tom is sent to check all the lights to make sure everything is ready for tomorrow. When he enters however he sees Sybil practicing behind herself. Not wanting to interrupt Tom just watches. At first everything is serious, precise but after a deep breath Sybil begins humming and doing something else. It’s still ballet but with some other dance style as well. It’s playful and silly and entirely refreshing. She’s smiling widely and her laughing interrupts her humming.

3. Tom is so enchanted by her that he leans back onto the door and falls through the open door. The two both surprised and slightly embarrass laugh. Their friendship starts from here.

4. The two often talk before practice, after practice, and during breaks. Tom is the only one who knows her dream of being a master of dance so to speak. She loves dancing and has an desire to learn all the art forms. One day she would love to open a show where all the dancers used different dance forms throughout the show. One minute ballet the next hip-hop. Sybil learns about his dream of being a writer something he’s only admitted to his family who all think it’s impractical after all very few people can make a living from it. Sybil thinks it’s brilliant and wants to know all about his stories.

5. Soon the two begin meeting outside the ballet house. First the pub, then the park, and then everywhere really. They go to the movies, the bookstore, anywhere they want. Their first kiss though is in the ballet house, at the stage they met. Being together is easy for them. They get along brilliantly and conversation always flows easily. Tom jokes that it’s because they were practically dating already. However it’s when her parents see Tom giving her a good luck kiss before a show that things start to get tough. While her parents trying to control where she goes and who she’s with Tom has his family problems to deal with. Their relationship had always been easy but when things get hard will the two grow stronger or fall apart?

(+1) Sybil gets offered the Prima Ballerina in the New York Ballet Company. Her family is popping the champagne but is that truly what she wants?

Happy birthday yankeecountess!

Sybil took a deep breath and watched the door open in one fluid movement until Tom was standing right in front of her. They looked at each other, both standing there motionless - Sybil with her hands hanging loosely at each side and Tom with one hand still on the doorknob - neither of them knowing what to do.

A/N: This one takes place the morning after the Skype drabble. If you want to check out my other Single AU drabbles check out my blog.

Thank you to Gothamgirl28 for beta-ing this for me :)

Sybil pulled the car up the Bransons’ driveway. Glancing through the mirror, her heart clenched at the sight of her poor boy.

Carter was still smarting from last night’s disappointment. His body was hunched over the car seat with a sad, pensive look on his face.

“RAAAWR!” Carter shouted, jumping with his arms up in the air and chasing Saoirse around the living room.

Saoirse ran across the room, a determined look on her face. Toy sword in hand, she stood her ground and thrust it forward, lightly poking Carter in the chest.

“Noooooo!” Carter shouted as he fell dramatically to the ground.

This is a belated birthday present to the wonderful sybbelle!

Thank you Yankeecountess for beta-ing!

Laundry basket resting against her hip, Sybil was headingtowards the stairs when she noticed Carter.

He was dead asleep, head and arms slumped over the diningroom table in front of her laptop.

Sybil’s lips pressed into a straight line, a ping of sadness sweeping through her body at the empty Skype screen. She sighed, and placing the basket on the floor, she kneeled down next to her son.

“Carter, darling, it’s time to go to bed,” she soothed as she stroked his hair.

He grumbled for a moment, rubbing his face against his arm and squinting before lifting his head up. “Mum?”

Faking a smile, Sybil said, “You fell asleep sweetheart. Why don’t you head to bed, yeah?”

Rubbing his eyes, Carter nodded, before jerking fully awake. “DAD!”

He sharply turned towards the laptop where a blank Skype screen waited him.

Carter turned back towards his mother, his face anxious and sad. “What time is it? Did I miss dad’s skype?”

Sybil pressed her lips together, her heart squeezing in pain at what she was about to tell him. “No, you didn’t miss him call. I’m really sorry darling but it looks like something came up and dad can’t skype tonight like he wanted to.”

“Oh,” Carter whispered dejectedly.

She stroked the side of his head. “You know that if your father could he would never miss a call, but sometimes daddy’s job gets in the way.”

He nodded.

Faking another smile, Sybil squeezed his hand. “Tell you what…why don’t you put on your pjs and we can read a bit of Harry Potter, yeah?”

“Mum, can I stay up and wait for dad a little longer, please?”

She bit her lip. “Darling, if he didn’t call an hour ago when he was supposed to, he probably won’t be calling at all tonight.”

“But he could, right? It’s happened before,” he said, a hint of eager hope in his voice. “Please mum? Just a little longer, I promise.”

Looking at her son, trying and failing to hide his wishful hopes for the night, she knew she couldn’t say no.

“All right, thirty minutes and then straight to bed, okay?”

Carter grinned and threw his arms over her shoulders into a hug. “Thank you mum!”

Sybil wrapped her arms around her little boy, squeezing her eyes shut as she silently prayed that Carter wouldn’t go to sleep heartbroken again.
