as they wander, they pass a small book store. violet still can’t use any of their parents fortune, if it is indeed still intact, but they had found early in a small ‘emergency fund’ on the island, either left by ishmael or their parents. it’ll do.

it’s wasting money, sure, but they need to do this. it takes a bit of searching and a librarian with an all-too-familiar look in her eyes, but she doesn’t pry and they don’t give.

they also buy an ink pen, and on the bench outside of the shop violet takes a moment before she very carefully writes ‘beatrice katherine baudelaire, II’ on the inside cover.

“to remember,” violet says. “and to know.”

sunny doesn’t remember. and violet and klaus never knew to begin with.

my personal snicketverse timeline, color coded according to what’s canon, where it’s mentioned, and what is headcanon/ocs

-moxie mallahan’s mother left her father, and he knew, and they both lied to moxie to try and ‘protect’ her

-ATWQ takes place in the late 40s- early 50s, while ASOUE takes place sometimes in the 60s - 70s, but in a very technologically ambiguous version of our world (for aesthetics and eccentricity’s sake)

-the sugar bowl is empty and was meant as just a ‘loyalty training’ tool by VFD. everyone either believes something different is in the bowl, or is pretending to know because they assume everyone else knows. that information died with Ishmael. Lemony may have known and told the Baudelaires later on, but…?

-everyone died in the Hospital fire, and if not, they died in the Hotel fire. everyone except the Bauds, Lemony, Bea II, Jacquelyn Sciezka (whom i love too much to not consider in my personal canon) and maybe the Quags.

-Lem’s kind editor is Moxie. Ellington was at the Hotel Denoument but didn’t stay for the trial- because i can’t have her die.

-ellington’s mother died when she was very young.

-the incredibly deadly viper has nothing to do with the bombinating beast

-ellington feint stays in SBTS, and lemony eventually comes back after he goes on the Lam. he visits on occasion (mostly on matters of editing ASOUE)

-The duchess (R) was killed Romanov style by the fire starting side, shortly after the fire at the castle, because they hoped she would go with it and all of her research. (i also think she is at least one of the people who contributed to the incomplete history)

-bea, bertrand, and lem were a throuple

-jacques and kit snicket are twins

-lemony isn’t his real name but no one remembers the real one
