AN~ This chapter focuses on the characters from book nine. I'm skipping over book eight because it's got like five billion characters I haven't done yet (the only ones who I have done are like the Editor and the Grimms) and that's a bit overwhelming. There's a biggish handful of things here that actually focus on the Grimms, though, so if that's what you're here for, you can find them I promise.

puckabrina: Thank you! :) The reason I've moved away from doing tons of Puckabrina drabbles is because I got challenged ages ago, back when the category was budding and young (the ancient era of 2008 or 2009) to write a fanfic focusing on every character who ever spoke in the Sisters Grimm series. That was back when there were only five or six books, so it was more doable then, but I have this chapter and one more and then I will have done so, so I will do it. But in the meantime if you want more Puckabrina-focused things AFTER, I'm gonna need some more word prompts.


Suggested by someone whose name I lost track of (if it's you, tell me so I can edit and give you credit!):

Midnight

Namoren's favorite time is midnight. He likes the way the world is, for the most part, asleep. He likes the way everything goes kind of still, even the people who are awake. He likes watching it out of his mirror. He wishes, a little, that he could be in it, be part of it.

It's easier for him, though, because he could never do that anyway. He's got the head of a fish. He'd be stuck in the water if he could get out of this mirror.

He'll enjoy the little bit of midnight he can get and be happy.

Butterfly Kisses

Sabrina only kisses Peter Pan because they're playing Spin the Bottle. It's Daphne's dumb idea, and she doesn't want to do it, but her sister insists. Puck gets so upset, though. It's kind of unbelievable.

He sulks in her general direction for a week, then he lightens up. After the first day she stops trying to get him to see reason. There are only so many times someone can say the same thing over and over.

She figures he's gotten over it until she walks outside and gets swarmed by butterflies, all of which land on her and lick her.


Suggested by Solaria Daughter of Apollo:

Once Upon a Time

"Movie night!" Daphne declares, switching on the TV.

There's a groan from at least half the people gathered in the living room, for various reasons, but it's Daphne's turn to pick what they watch, fair and square. They all know what it'll be, though.

"'Once Upon a Time' isn't even a movie," Sabrina whispers to Uncle Jake. "It's a TV show."

"A stupid show," Puck mutters. "They get everything wrong."

This is a very good point for annoyance. Not only does the show get everything wrong, but it's just close enough to being right that it's very uncomfortable to watch.

Epic Rap Battles of History

"What is this?" Sir Kay asks, looking over Daphne's shoulder at the computer screen.

"A computer," Daphne says without looking up.

"Yes, I know, I meant what are you watching," Kay elaborates. Really, how much of a luddite does she think he is?

On the screen, YouTube' playing some poorly photoshopped pair of people in odd outfits.

"Oh, it's Epic Rap Battles of History," Daphne says. "It's cheezy but really funny. They make up fake rap battles about, like, Mozart and Skrillex pretending to argue about who's better and stuff."

Sir Kay, who likes both these artists, is immediately hooked.


Suggested by Axel Treehorn:

Vocaloid

"What is that noise?" Pinocchio shouts to Sabrina over the heavily synthesized sounds reverberating through the house.

"Daphne," Sabrina shouts back as strains of Japanese lyrics start up.

Pinocchio isn't surprised. Much. Daphne's gone through a lot of strange obsessions (particularly musical obsessions), but her weaboo (which is what Red is calling it) phase is particularly odd.

Still, this... Pinocchio knows that Japan has produced some amazing classical music. And this... He cannot get behind this.

At all.

...

So when he finds himself singing along with it after the third hour, he vows to get back at Daphne. Somehow.

Amnesia... again

Being greeted at the door by Daphne shouting "It was an accident!" is never good news, Veronica has learned.

It is true, again, and she suddenly regrets leaving her three children alone with a sitter while she and her husband went out to have a night to themselves (the first since coming back. The first in two years.)

...

The babysitter has amnesia.

"How am I going to explain this to her parents?" Veronica asks wearily.

Sabrina just shrugs. "Told you you should've just had me watch things."

Veronica wonders if everyone else's children are this difficult, or just hers.

Lesbian

"So you've got a date?" Aly asks, leaning against her sister's doorframe. "Who with?"

"Kendra."

Aly pauses. "So you're a lesbian?"

"Maybe," Emma says easily. "All I know is Kendra asked me out and I like her a lot."

Aly doesn't say anything for a minute.

Emma pauses in putting on her makeup and looks at her sister. "Does that bother you?"

Aly doesn't answer. She's not sure. "Do Mom and Dad know?"

"Yeah. Dad doesn't care. Mom told me she knew already."

"Huh?"

"Something about Aunt Daphne." Emma shrugs.

"Oh." Aly smiles. "Have fun."

Emma looks relieved. Aly's glad.

Kill Me

Snow and Charming are getting married. It's a long ceremony, full of old friends and very traditional elements that Sabrina's too young to understand or appreciate.

Still, they're her friends and Daphne and Granny are having the time of their life, so Sabrina can put up with it.

At least, that's what she thinks until Puck leans forward to whisper in her ear, "Kill me."

A year ago she'd have taken him up on it. Today she just has to fight hard to keep from laughing. Trust Puck to break up a serious moment.

She might love him, a little.

Switch

What nobody knows is that the three blind mice can trade places.

They're not the only Everafters who can do this, of course. It's a very common thing for Everafters who are identical, actually.

The catch, though, is the whole deal with the carving knife.

Things were great for a while. One of them (they'd take turns) would go out and do the dangerous bit of getting to the food, and then once there they'd switch.

But if they're not identical, it doesn't work. So when the farmer's wife cut off one tail, they all had to lose their tails.

Michael Buckley

Shi'arsted is the only one of the mirror guardians who knows about Michael Buckley. He doesn't know if this is on purpose or if it's part of who he is, but he's the one who knows there's a man out there, writing about what's happening in this little town.

He's the one whose job it is to keep everyone else from finding out.

And he's gonna keep doing it as long as he can, because the idea that these people might know that people know about them (especially Sabrina- poor violated girl) isn't something he really wants to think about.

Rihanna

Donovan's mirror home (his half twist into another dimension, to be completely accurate) is outfitted with a stereo system that outdoes all the other guardians. He loves it.

To be very specific (and goodness knows Donovan loves to be specific, even if outwardly he's tough and strong and very brash) he loves Rihanna. She's his queen. She should be everyone's queen. Her music is amazing, and he's never seen her music videos, but he's sure they'd be just as fantastic.

The woman is perfection.

He knows some of the other guardians are discontent, but he could never be. Rhianna exists.


Suggested by emowriter:

Planet

"Neverland's not even a real place," Puck says.

Peter Pan is very offended. He and Puck have said some hurtful things before, but that's just a low blow. Neverland is very real. He should know. He used to live there. But he can't prove it like this. After all, he doesn't even really know how to get there- he just goes.

So he's gonna have to research.

And he will. He does.

Finally, he finds his answer. Two months after the argument, Peter jumps in Puck's face and shouts "Neverland's a planet!"

Puck seems very confused. "What?"

Whatever. Peter won.

Magnifying Glass

Daphne and Sabrina are on the night train to visit Granny, their first solo trip, and of course even though they told their parents nothing would happen, this is the trip where someone on the train gets shot.

"It's so exciting!" Daphne says, pulling out a magnifying glass. "Like Sherlock Holmes, or Bones!"

"More like Agatha Christie," Sabrina says, but she's grinning too, even as she asks, "Were you just waiting to use that thing?"

Daphne nods, bouncing excitedly as she holds her Christmas present to one eye.

The two pause.

"We're horrible people," Sabrina says.

"Absolutely awful," Daphne agrees.

Cage

Bunny made sure that she did a better job when she was building mirrors after the prototype, made sure they didn't do odd things like call her 'mother' or ask why they couldn't leave their mirrors. She made them wise, not just all-knowing.

Still, Arden can't help but feel like she's in a cage. It's a beautiful cage, a large one, and she can see everyone and everything she wants from inside it, and she has everything she needs to keep herself entertained. But she can't leave. And she knows why. Still. She'd like to actually touch what she sees.

Outlet

Like Arden, Fanny gets a little tired of being cramped up in the same place all the time. The main difference between them is that Arden is regal, a little older mentally, and Fanny is energetic. She's also the member of the Council of Mirrors with the smallest dimensional pocket. Small is relative, but Fanny's diner is way smaller than any of the others' homes.

She has an outlet, though. It's a good one. It's her roller skates. Her original owner got rid of her because the roller skating drove him nuts. She doesn't care. Roller skating keeps her sane.

Glitter

"Holy-" Puck starts.

Sabrina claps her hands over Basil's ears in case Puck finishes that sentence. He doesn't.

Five Grimm children stand in the doorway of Daphne's thirteenth birthday party, staring. It's quite something to behold. Basil lets out an excited squeal. He's in heaven.

"Do you like it?" Daphne comes bouncing towards them wearing an orange dress.

"It's- it's really something," Red says, eyes wide.

"Very sparkly," Pinocchio agrees.

That's one way of putting it. Daphne's covered everything in glitter.

"I'm gonna be washing this stuff out of my hair for weeks," Sabrina mutters.

Daphne grins. "Isn't it great?"

Vampire

"I thought you said vampires didn't exist!" Relda shrieks to her husband.

They're running through a bamboo forest in China, trying desperately to stay ahead of the thing that's chasing them and not lose each other, all while looking frantically for a cheerful toddler who thinks this is some kind of fun new game. Every now and again they hear the vampire behind them shriek.

"I thought they didn't!" Basil shouts, snatching their son up midstride.

"You were wrong!" Relda calls back.

"Sorry!"

"Not good enough!"

"What do you want?"

"You're hiring a sitter and we're getting dinner!"

"Yes dear."


Suggested by Alexandra Jackson rocks Hades:

Sleepover

Despite the fact that Puck is sleeping in the Grimm's living room with all three siblings, Sabrina and Puck insist that it's not a sleepover. So what if it's just one night and Uncle Jake isn't there and they're watching movies while eating popcorn?

Daphne and Basil, of course, disagree.

The discovery of Puck in the kitchen in the middle of the night, babbling about clouds and bumblebees, lightens Sabrina's mood significantly. That Puck sleepwalks is enough embarrassing fodder for her that Daphne and Basil can call their little get-together anything they want. She's officially winning her war with Puck.

Pillow Pet

"You killed my pillow pet!" Daphne wails.

The stuffed animal in question is quite destroyed, its body on one side of the room, head clutched between Puck's hands, stuffing littering the area between the two parts.

Puck is sorry but shrugs and says, "Rule fifty-six, Marshmallow."

That ends the pillow fight, though, and Daphne wanders off in search of a way to repair her toy while Puck heads nonchalantly to the kitchen.

"What's rule fifty-six?" Sabrina asks, handing him a glass of lemonade. She never really liked the pink and purple unicorn.

"When having a pillow fight, aim to kill."

Build-a-Bear

Jack Pumpkinhead is kind of tired of having to replace his head every few months. It's very frustrating when one's brains start to melt and ooze all over the place. He's tried getting people to preserve his heads, but it never lasts forever. So what he needs is a permanent solution.

That's why he's going to Build-a-Bear. He's going to build himself a stuffed animal head, and it's not going to rot.

But when he gets there, he lets out a wail, ignoring the people staring at him. It happens. All the heads are so tiny!

This will never work.

Beauty

Sabrina Grimm is quite a beauty, the minister running her wedding decides. She was lovely the first time around, of course, in her long sleek dress and elegant makeup, her hair in that elaborate coiffure. This time, though, she practically glows. Her dress is shorter, simpler, her hair is almost all down, just a few strands braided together with some flowers to hold the little veil up, and she wears almost no makeup. The smile is what really makes it, though. This wedding, the one that's not going to be called off, it's making her the most beautiful bride ever.

Fanfiction (also suggested by creamychocpudding786)

Daphne writes fanfiction. It's not a big deal, and it's not something she's embarrassed about, but she doesn't tell Sabrina anyway.

She's pretty good at it, decently popular, and a lot of her friends know. It's just that Sabrina can't.

See, Daphne writes fanfiction based on people she knows. It's for completely fictional categories, but Sabrina's smart. She'd look at the fics and she'd recognize a lot of the actions of the main players in Daphne's OTPs (who happen to be love/hate relationships, mostly).

And Daphne just doesn't want to deal with her sister realizing she writes fanfiction about her.

Puck Jr.

"I call it Puck Junior!" Puck announces, pushing a plate of food that looks like a face in her direction.

Since Puck moved in, he's announced that Sabrina's 'cooking' is pathetic, and he's taken over all the kitchen responsibilities in the apartment over.

At first, his attempts were worse than Sabrina's (so she never learned to make anything fancy. She can boil pasta fine), but he's started to get the hang of it, and he seems to really enjoy it.

The problem now is he's getting more and more... creative. Sabrina's afraid Granny's recipes will resurface.

Sabrina eats the face.


Suggested by Kathy Says Hai:

Spinny chair

Granny doesn't have enough chairs in her dining room for when everyone is visiting, these days. She has to pull chairs from the rest of the house, and there are only so many chairs that she can feasibly use. As it is, she usually ends up with a few folding chairs and the chair from the computer desk. She doesn't like to use that one, because all the children fight over who gets to sit in it, even though she insists on turns.

Today, Puck and Sabrina have both refused to get up and are both squashed in the seat.

Speaker

When someone makes a wish for Baba Yaga to be friendly, it's some of the most chaos Ferryport Landing's seen in a long time. Sure, whoever made the wish (they're not exactly coming forward to claim the responsibility) meant well, but friendly Baba Yaga doesn't mean nice Baba Yaga.

It starts out small, but the worst thing is definitely the way the witch decides to benevolently introduce everyone else to her beloved soaps. She does this by installing speakers ten feet from each other all through the town and blasting marathons of Days of our Lives for everyone to enjoy.

Board Game

The Cheshire Cat likes to play board games. It likes games in general, but it especially loves chess. Not just because of its name, but probably because of Wonderland.

It's not quite as insane as the rest of the Wonderlanders. Most days, anyway. Its crazy is a sort of self-aware madness that revels in itself. Still, it is bonkers.

And it loves board games absolutely and without apology. And it will go to any lengths to get someone to play games with it. Especially Wonderland chess, in which you have to wander the board and risk death in the process.

Carseat

The glamour the white rabbit got was maybe not the most expensive. In his defense, glamours are pricey. But he definitely needs one to go around in the world.

Still, a good glamour that works with how small he is, it was definitely out of his price range. So the one he has, well it makes him look human. Like a human child.

It's actually why he joined the Scarlet Hand. It's bad enough that he's too short to drive a car, but he's so tired of people trying to put him in car seats whenever he gets a taxi.

Ripped jeans

"You can't go out with Parker!" Puck tells Alison hotly.

"Why not?" Allie asks. "He's really nice and we've been friends for ages and I like him and you liked him until he asked me out."

"He-" Puck fumbles, pauses. "Because- all his pants are ripped!"

Sabrina, who privately thinks Allie's a little young to date but is staying out of this conversation until she has a chance to talk to Allie rationally about it, lets out a snort.

"That's it?" she demands. "That's your argument? You didn't wear clean clothes without rips until we'd been dating for five years!"

Window

Elvis has gotten into the sausage again. The problem this time is that they're in the car with him, going down the highway.

There are no exits in sight. Nor is there any shoulder to pull over on. Mr. Canis is driving with his head out the driver's window, and Daphne is frantically rolling down all the others so she and Basil can gasp fresh air.

Sabrina's pretty sure they're all going to die before they can get out of the car. They're gonna suffocate and that'll be the end of the Grimms and the people they're going to rescue.

Curtains

The cowardly lion is afraid of glamours. It's not really surprising information, considering he's afraid of pretty much everything, but it is a problem. He lives in Ferryport Landing, after all. He needs to wear a glamour in order to walk the streets. But he's always so afraid he's going to get stuck or something, or it'll malfunction, or it'll do something other than what the witch who cast it said it was supposed to be doing.

He stay in the house a lot, and invests in thick dark curtains to hide his natural form from humans out the window.

One

See, the thing about pig-nosed trolls is that they have soul mates. They don't advertise it and don't make a big deal out of it, but they know who their match is, and they can see it in other species, if they have someone they're fated to be with.

And when this one sees the blonde Grimm girl come for the fairy, it knows. These two can't escape each other. So when it asks her if the fairy's hers and she says yes, it knows that she's found her one. Even if she doesn't know yet.

It lets her win.

Legend

The Arthur legend is wrong, for lots of parts. The part about Arthur not knowing about Lancelot and Guinevere, at least. Arthur knew. Arthur's always known, and been okay with it. More than okay, actually. He's been involved. The legend talks about how much Arthur and Lancelot loved each other, but it doesn't mention that maybe it went past the bonds of friendship.

Granted, there wasn't a lot of acceptance for homosexuality in the time, although there was a decent amount of acceptance for polyamory.

If Mordred hadn't brought things out into the open, the legend would have ended happily.

Façade

Most of the guardians of the mirrors have two faces- the First isn't the only one. It's a design feature. Outside, they look imposing, but inside the mirror, presumably, the only people present are the mirrors' owners, so they're designed to be much more approachable.

Titan is no exception. On the outside, he appears so enormous he almost doesn't fit in his frame, built like a bull. His commissioner thought height was might. Inside, though, his muscles are nearly gone and he's of a much more reasonable (diminutive) height.

He doesn't let people inside his mirror very often. It's embarrassing.

Harmony

The upside to being a magic mirror's guardian is the sense of community. It's not a constant awareness of each other (they do have privacy, thank goodness), but there are the back doors to talk to each other, and there's the prophecy aspect.

Bunny maybe didn't plan for them to be quite this powerful, and she put a few protocols about how the questions had to be asked into the mirrors so the guardians wouldn't go crazy, but they can know everything.

And when they're together answering questions, it's amazing, the harmony of their spirits, the perfect way they sync.

Yin Yang

They're like ying and yang, everyone in the audience can see that- even the ones who only know Sabrina, or who only know the man she's supposed to be marrying. Two golden heads, one with dark green eyes in alabaster skin and one with pale blue eyes in tan skin. They're flip sides of the same coin, magnets, and something about the way they interact suggests that they're fated to be connected, even if they maybe don't want it.

The moment Sabrina looks at the flying man, nobody expects her to actually marry Bradley. It just isn't going to happen.


AN~ If I haven't done a word you suggested yet, don't get upset or think I didn't like it or something. If you gave it to me, it's on one of my two master lists: the one that's done (sometimes I get doubles), or the one that's waiting.

If you want to make a suggestion, that's great. I love suggestions, particularly for plots (I have a prompt problem, guys). If you don't, that's also great. I only have enough words left for maybe two more chapters, though (unless someone makes another challenge somewhere). So it depends on how long you want the fic to be.

Tell me your favorite, and what you want to see more of!
