Revealing the cover of Friday Turner’s dazzling first book in the Polly Hope Mysteries, out from Thomas & Mercer in September.

Meet Polly Hope: art expert, reluctant dog lover and… amateur detective?

London, 1941. Polly Hope is bravely working as an air raid warden during the Blitz when she saves the life of the charming Freddie Fairbank. Over a thank-you breakfast at the Ritz, he asks Polly to help requisition a sprawling English country house for the war effort.

Petherbridge Hall has grand rooms, lovely views and will be a perfect nursing home for injured troops, if they can only persuade the family to give up their house. But then they find the lord of the manor dead behind the gardener’s shed. With the local police too busy to investigate, Polly and Freddie realise they need to find the culprit, and fast…

who steals french fries off the other’s plate:-Friday didn’t even want fries but Hugo was buying lunch that day (long story short: lost a bet), so he went for the Combo meal out of curiousity. They started people watching and Hugo kept distracting Friday by pointing random mundane things out that within ten minutes the fries were gone and Friday’s just throwing his hands up in the air. “You could’ve bought your own fries, ya wanker, why did you steal mine.” And Hugo’s all “They taste better with your anguish.”

who jokingly moves in for the kiss when someone asks if they’re a couple-Taking place in the same day that Hugo stole the fries he technically paid for, Hugo’s waving his arms no but the flattery of them making a handsome couple is nice. Friday, in retaliation from before, links an arm around Hugo’s neck and musses his hair, “Sorry, love, he’s still in denial but not dick-nial.”

Hugo punches his arm for the pun.

who has to bust the other out of jail:-Neither, because they’re both in jail. Their entire experience is this (x).

 Neither of them want to admit or call Ange or Clara for help out of silly pride, so they opt for a few phone calls.  Though they technically get one each, Hugo used both since Friday gets unlimited calling on his end (sadly his rainbows can only phase through non-living inanimate objects, not living people). The first call was to Camille but she was out of town for a Musical Tour. The second call does reach Rory but it’s Zeke who picks up the phone who in turn decides it’s best to call Mama Macalister.

Both boys are in fear of her wrath.

Even more than their cellmate.

who gives the other advice/comfort about dating issues-Hugo has more experience with pickup lines that..7 out of 10 work, while Friday’s a better conversationalist with women. They’d make a good wingman team if they didn’t fight over the same girl. While that did start their feud they later came to accept they have some similar tastes here and there and when they end up in serious relationships, they’re like minded well enough to understand and vent to the other. The experiences are different but they help when bringing it to the emotional table.

who shamelessly cheats at games by reaching over to cover the other’s eyes- Hugo literally has to koala latch onto Friday’s back to cover his eyes while Friday just picks Hugo up and puts him on the coat rack. They’re terrible.

who immediately calls dibs on the top bunk-Friday would prefer the bottom bunk because of his longer legs but just out of spite, he’d yell top bunk and Hugo shouts no, ballerina-leaps gracefully onto the top bunk and Friday’s recorded it for a latest vine all: “Hah, I wasn’t gonna take it, just wanted to see your face.” And Hugo demands he deletes it immediately but changes his mind after it gets over two million replay views within 30 minutes.

who starts and who wins the pillow fights-Hugo has better aim (Apollo kid, come on), but Friday is more swift with swinging. So it evens out here.

who steals french fries off the other’s plate:-Coincidentally I think they'd be stealing each other's fries in the beginning while at the same time ordering more. Later on there's just this huge plate of fries and the fry stealing has turned into who can eat the most fries under 2 minutes while also taking shots--the end result is both hilarious AND messy.

who jokingly moves in for the kiss when someone asks if they’re a couple

-Again, they both do. Chris moreso than Friday. This is actually something they've been asked a lot and are quite used to it that by now they have an entire list of comebacks:

 "We're on our honeymoon but thanks for asking we're super." 

" We're actually looking to adopt, got any hellspawn we can have?"

*Loud obvious stage whispering* "SHHHH I'M TRYING TO GET LAID HERE" "WHAT HOW COULD YOU, I THOUGHT WE WERE TAKING THINGS SLOW-- *loud sobbing scene ensues*"

In the end they make the asking party all the more uncomfortable and they slowly slink away.

who has to bust or bail the other out of jail:-It's....pretty 50/50 here. Friday usually has to bust Chris out of jail either legally or illegaly through rainbow portal (shh don't ask just come); Chris does well with demigod shenanigans despite being a mortal and somehow can bypass demigod jail or whatever Friday gets tied up in. Then there are days where they're both in jail and they have to knock the policeman out before fleeing the city.

who gives the other advice/comfort about dating issues-They're both pretty bad at dating issues. Friday has commitment issues and Chris is all over the place. 8'D It's hilariously awkward for them to talk about it when they're both at that stage of "ok i actually like this person what do i do--I can't just do a quickie and then leave--HELP" But they just somehow awkward turtle duck through it together. While giving their own takes on it, Chris has a more technical approach with love advice and Friday somehow has a more idealistic view, but both boys keep it pretty real.

who shamelessly cheats at games by reaching over to cover the other’s eyes-Friday, hands down. It helps that Chris is way shorter than him, like there are times when Friday is frustrated with loosing that he just sits right in front of Chris, straightens his back so he's sitting upright and blocks the poor man's view of the television so he'd lose to Friday on that freakin hard course in Mario Kart.

who immediately calls dibs on the top bunk-Chris. He likes to feel tall and Friday doesn't really care, having his legs dangle closer to the floor is more comfortable than losing feeling in them if they dangle in the air over the edge too long.

who starts and who wins the pillow fights-Friday in the beginning. It took Chris to come around to it thinking it was kids stuff but their pillows end up being laced with other harder things like wads of socks and thick sofa throw pillows that it turns into a pillow-punchies fight and now it's tradition to start one up whenever they see each other. If it's been weeks and they meet up again, they make plans to hang out at the other's apartment. And then. The war begins. Lately Ange's been winning them all, though because she can't stop even when the guys are dead tired.

Who was the one to propose: Friday-technically-through-Issac, it was about a year or two after the twins were born and Friday was still going through his own commitment issues but he realized that he really loves this crazy chick and decided to be suavely-cheesy by having Issac crawl over to Ange with the ring while they were playing with the babies one afternoon.

Who stressed more over wedding planning: Hmmm I don’t think either of them did. Ange probably was more concerned with how the ceremony will go and Friday might’ve been concerned with paying it all but it wasn’t like full blown stress.

Who decorated the house: They both do, with pictures from their travels and souveniers.

Who does the cooking: ANGE CAN’T COOK. FRIDAY CAN’T…well…hes not bad with baking but other than that. How they’ve lived this long is beyond me, I’m pretty sure they kept eating at Thyme’s teahouse whenever they were in the area…and took home leftovers.

 Who is more organized: Ange is, I’m sure. Friday will clean up after himself but some days he’s just “nah *tosses on the floor* not today.”

Who initiates bedroom fun: Friday in the beginning, Ange was too shy and blushy about it. Eventually it becomes a game with them that some times Ange is /too/ eager and Friday’s all “ohmygod.”

Who suggested kids first: Ange did, most likely out of  a curious thought but then dismissed it since they were too all over the place and Friday wasn’t paying attention to what she was talking about.

Who’s more dominant: Friday in the beginning, then it eventually evened out once Ange got comfortable.

Who’s the cuddler: Gosh they both are cuddlers….I think Ange is more so.

Who’s the big spoon/little spoon: They switch frequently! [Although when Friday spoons it turns into a spork BD ]

What’s their favorite non-sexual activity: They go running together every morning. uvu

Who cooks: Ange can’t cook outside of cold sammiches and cereal, Friday’s decent with baking. Everything else burns or is undercooked

Who comes home drunk at 3am: Friday. THIS IS WHOM YOU MARRIED ANGE, HE IS TERRIBLE.

Who kills the spiders: They are both fearless predators, whomever finds it first kills it.

Who falls asleep first: Depends on who is more tired that day.

 A head canon: Friday gets along great with Ange’s mom, Laura, that she gets silly-jealous thinking her mom is stealing her boyfriend but they were just teasing and it’s such a loving family—Laura is the best mother-in-law/mom Friday never had.

Their relationship summed up in a gif: 

Do they have any “rituals”?: They attempt every sport they come across at least once. Ange’s skill with instantly becoming a pro at sports helps here because if Friday’s falling behind she can help reteach it to him. But his ego was shot when he taught her how to surf once and she got it down pat within 5 minutes.

Who is louder?: Ange. Friday enjoys making her scream BD

Who is more experimental?: Friday.

Who takes more risks? They both are.

Do they fuck or make love?

Lights on or off?It don’t matter THEY EVEN DO IT DURING POWER OUTAGES IN A CAMP TENT.  AHAHAHAHAAHA

Who is more likely to be caught masturbating? Friday has caught Ange dozens of times, but he can’t say anything because he is just as guilty.

Who is more likely to suggest a threesome? Friday, and he has. I think they have actually.

Who comes first?:  Ange

Who is better at oral and who prefers it?: Friday is better at oral and Ange prefers is but also wants to be good at it, and Ange stop, this isn’t a competition, stop—okay no don’t stop.

Who is more submissive?: Ange was in the begining, but it tends to even out a little, they’re both dominate.

Who usually initiates things?: Friday usually.

Who is more sensitive? Ange.

Who has the most patience? Ange beats Friday by a smidge more patience. And by smidge I mean a lot.

I have a headcanon Iris gives him a messenger Hummingbird he names Sherbet.

Gonna mix the girls into this one because some have some stories behind them.

Friday - On his dad's side he comes from a history of failing eye sight, mostly everyone had to get glasses at some point and he got his when he was 6. He kept wearing them until middle school happened and then a girl mentioned he had pretty eyes without them and since he had no one to rely on besides the foster-care/orphanage system, he took odd jobs to save up for contacts to wear by the time he was in high school.

Jeani - Originally totally blind but I decided to make her legally blind (since Harold fills that quota and it gives me  a chance to draw her in coke-bottle glasses); She suffered from a car accident in the college au, losing both arents and most of her eyesight at 3 years old.

Vivian - Hers is a tricky story. Her eyes were fine up until she was about 9 going on 10 and had to wear glasses for awhile to strengthen her eyes again. Could've been exposed to too many computer screens that it messed up her eyes that bad, and her mother's eyesight didn't help things either-- but in any case, she ended up healing them by the time she was 15 (note: that's why her 12 year old self with 5 year old Zya was wearing glasses). I think it's funny her first spell requires the use of her eyes so much that it's a little teasing.

Wieland - Always has and always will need glasses. He tried contacts out once, but found he looked really weird without his usual pair. The only rare occasion someone will see him without glasses is if he's just woken up or is about to go to sleep.

And I find it funny he gets aligned with Light first. Must be some plot development there.

But I also find funny is that he and Friday would most likely not get along at all. Both from different backgrounds and scales of the money class (Nahuel is upperclass, Friday is not obviously), so it's going to be a challenge to keep the two boys from rough housing in my head.

Friday gets enough of his fill of rich pretty boys from Hugo, thank you.
