Hey! Do you two have any headcanons for the guys (any/all/whomever) celebrating Halloween? Literally just hoping for whatever comes to mind for you guys because I love both your writing and Halloween. đđ
I, Mod Apostle, apologize for the tardiness of my response! I kinda went overboard on these ideas. I wrote three Halloween fics, featuring three different aspects of the holiday.
The first, âRematchâ Features a Turnip Carving Contest with everyoneâs three favorite scientists. (Impey Barbicane, Victor Frankenstein, Neeeeeeemooooo)
The second, âThe Thiefâs Huntâ has one Gentleman Thief rescuing an apostleâs shapeshifting daughter from the clutches of a certain witch... and the Wild Hunt... on Halloween night. (Arsene Lupin)
The third, âWayward Soulsâ is a âghost storyâ featuring a lady seeking information about an old family tragedy on All Hallowsâ Eve in the French countryside. (Saint Germain)
Due to length, I will include links to âThe Thiefâs Huntâ and âWayward Soulsâ
I hope you enjoy them, and, no, I wonât always write thousands of words for Asks in the future. I just love the themes of Halloween and wanted to do the holiday as much justice as I could!

âI have the turnips!â Impey called, walking through the door with an armload of vegetables, âTheyâre perfect for carving, too!â
âOkay! Bring them in.â Fran replied, âIâm just getting set up.â
Impey walked in and put the turnips on the table, âI brought candles, too. We can put them along the walkway to surprise San and Cardia when they come home.â
âSounds good.â Fran tied on his apron and picked up his knife, âWe should try to get done quickly if we want it to be a surprise. Theyâll be home in few hours.â
Impey pulled on his own apron, âGot it!â
The two of them got to work quickly, carving the turnips into alchemical symbols, rocket ships, moons, and an attempt at self portraits that were truly terrifying to behold. They laughed and carved happily, until they heard a loud knock at the door.
âImpeeeeeey Baaaaarbicaaaaane? Are yoooou heeeere?â
Franâs face fell, âOh, no. I keep forgetting Nemo got out of jail. But... Why is he here?â
Impey smiled sheepishly, âI forgot to mention I invited him over. Heâs just so lonely. I thought it would make him happy to carve a few turnips with us.â
âI-Itâs okay.â Fran couldnât help but wince a little, âYour heart is in the right place... Do you mind if Iâ
âVictoooooooooor Fraaaaaaaankenstien....!!! You have come to join the fuuuuuuuuuun!!!â
âUgh... Um, hi, Nemo.... Woah! WHAT IS THAT THING?!?!â
Nemo, who dressed like a deranged tatterdemalion at the best of times, had apparently decided to get into the Halloween spirit by wearingâ
âUh.... Are you supposed to be... a um... what exactly are you supposed to be?â Impey asked, not quite able to figure out what the tentacles had to do with high heels and human skull hat.
âIsnât it oooooooobviouuuuus?! I am AN ABOMINATION OF SCIIIIIIIIIIENCE!! A MAAAAAARVEEEEEEL!! Nemo cried, waving his tentacles.
âRight then!â Impey said, not looking at Fran, âYouâre a... sexy deranged monster squid... got it. But that knife is a little... and I hope thatâs not real blood... no donât answer that! I donât want to know! Um...â he picked up a turnip, âHere! Weâre carving turnips! Why donât you make a few yourself!â
âHaaaaa haaaaa! You are just jealoooooooooous you didnât think of it!â he pressed a button on the knife and it whirred to life.
âIs that an electric knife?â Impey asked with interest, âThatâs amazing!â
âOf cooooourse it is! Do you want to seeeeeee?â
âYeah!â Impey said excitedly, while Fran slowly crept backwards out of the kitchen.
Nemo cut the turnip with surprising delicacy with the vibrating knife, the lines were finer and more artistic than Impey and Fran had managed to produce. A fact that Nemo was quick to point out.
âWhy donât we have a coooooontesssst? Eh?â Nemo asked slyly, âLetâs seeeeeeee who can caaaaarve the best turnips!â
âItâs a deal!â Impey shouted over Franâs groans.
Impey and Nemo engaged in a vigorous carving contest. Soon all of the turnips were carved and lined up.
âOkay! Letâs clean up before San chan and Cardia chan get back! Weâll let them choose which is best!â
They cleaned up quickly and Fran took the completed turnips to the entrance and the front walkway to light the candles inside them. Fran was pleased with the effect. He was much less pleased that Nemo decided to stay until Saint and Cardia returned.
Saint and Cardia came home from their afternoon shopping just after sunset. The the candles inside the turnips danced and cast eerie, shifting patterns on the walkway.
Cardia gasped delightedly when she saw them all lined up and flickering like tiny ghosts, âThey are beautiful!â
âYes, the effect is lovely.â Saint agreed, peering inside them. âSo many fantastical designs. I didnât realize Impey and Fran were such artists. Look at this oneâ
âHAAAAA HAAAAA!!!â boomed a voice from the house, âThooooose are miiiiiine!!! I beaaaaat you at laaaaaast, Impeeeeey Baaaaaarbicaaaane!?!!â
Saint stood protectively in front of Cardia as Nemo clattered down the steps in his high heels and bloody squid costume still carrying his electric knife.
âHey! Nemo! Drop the knife unless you want to become a dead sexy monster squid thing!â Impey shouted, running out to grab the knife away from Nemo.
Saint relaxed only slightly, âI take it there is an... explanation for this?â
âUm, I invited him to carve turnips with us. He was really enthusiastic about it. Most of these are actually his...â Impey explained apologetically.
âAh. I see.â Saint smiled at last, âA carving contest.â
âWhich I just wooooon!!â Nemo declared triumphantly, âI will loooooooook foooooooorward to receiving my priiiiiiiiiiize!â
Saint, noticing Franâs look of agonized defeat, smiled mischievously, âWhat, dare I ask, is the prize for this contest?â
Impey looked away guiltily, âA day with him in the lab... and BOTH of us.â
