stranded on the wrong beach
"Don't pretend you had no clue at all what we're doing," Vermouth scoffs. "You knew, from the very beginning, what kind of job you were signing up for."
~5.7k. Miyano Elena / Vermouth
written for @yuriolympics main round 2, "Expectations"
___
Elena flips through the patient records and finds the one she wants, pulling it out to check the examination results from last month and frowning slightly as she compares it with the results from today, making calculations within her mind. She jots down a quick note of some information for Atsushi to deliver to the patient tomorrow. He has always been more comfortable with handling various social interactions than her. Well, she's gotten better since her teenage days - and isn't that something? Mary would probably be surprised to see her improvement, not that Elena has seen her in quite a while - but it's just easier and simpler to let him do it. First time patients - and even the non-first time ones, honestly - automatically assume she's just the assistant, and want to hear their questions answered by him because it sounds more professional.
It suits her, actually, to take on the quieter role, handling the non-interactive parts of the job. Administrative tasks. Counting the inventory and making sure to clear out the expired medicines, tracking which ones they need to place an order again. Pharmaceutical work - well, as much pharmaceutical work that a small clinic like theirs requires, anyway.
She misses the Shirohato Pharmaceuticals days, sometimes. Before it went bankrupt and she and Atsushi decided to open their own clinic. Misses the research they were doing there, the bold idea they were testing out - still at the very early stages with nothing concrete to show, but they had a direction, they had ideas they were planning to try, theories worth digging deeper into - well, that's all in the past, now.

oh wow ……… elena vermouth ………….. oh my god ………
i usually found vermouth's continuing pursuit of haibara and trying to haunt her down and kill her, something she explained as because she hates the research sherry and her mother did - a bit odd. the explanation's unsatisfactory for me because shiho already left, and is now unable to continue the research, and she had years she could easily kill her when sherry was still working on aptx, but she tries to kill her for doing aptx research when shiho can no longer do that? while i suppose it's harder to kill someone under the boss's eyes, a star scientist at that, while killing a traitor is something that one can easily achieve without incurring the boss's wrath, i still think vermouth's not telling the truth when she said that's the reason.
at least, it's not the only reason, to me.
for a while i was thinking it was because that they're both raised in the organization, and shiho managed to do something that vermouth wanted but never considered possible - escape from the organization, getting free. and didn't die in the process. it's unthinkable to her, and she's bitterly jealous.
now, this is still my headcanon for them, except now i thought about it more i'm thinking that vermouth is angry that shiho escaped (and vermouth herself cannot), it's not just because shiho escaped from the organization. it's also because shiho escaped the consequences of elena's actions (growing up and forced to work in the organization and continue her parents' research) while vermouth herself cannot (even if vermouth manage to leave the organization and hide away from the boss using various resources and her own disguise skills, she cannot escape the marks left by the drug she took, her body is frozen in this current state and this is something she cannot escape, no matter where she goes.) vermouth herself cannot escape the consequences of elena's actions, it's almost two decades after elena's death and she's still trapped, and she might be the only person trapped by that - with the one exception, elena's daughters. at least she still has them to suffer with her. akemi tried to escape and gin killed her. shiho tried to kill herself and survived.
and vermouth is the only one left, still here. trapped as always. because for shiho the consequences of her mother's actions is her having to grow up in the organization, but for vermouth it's her own body. both impossible to escape, at least in vermouth's mind - until shiho proved her wrong. my lover, your mother, the chains around our necks. neither of us was supposed to get free. but you did so i'm going to kill you.

thinking about elena and vermouth again, forever remaining young feels like a dream to some people but for vermouth it’s a curse she’s living in a nightmare she cannot escape she’s frozen in time her body is frozen in time she hasn’t aged in two decades she sees her own face in the mirror it’s the same face everyday and she cannot forget elena no longer how long it’s been since elena’s death because she doesn’t even need something else to remind her of elena because her own self is the biggest reminder. she puts on disguises to pretend to be other people for missions for work for acting but most importantly to escape her own image to see someone other than her unchanging perfect face in the mirror, the most successful of elena’s experiments. but at the end of the day those disguises are temporary and only her own body is forever and she’s still trapped. you can get out of this party dress but you can’t get out of this skin!!!!
vermouth pretending to be dr araide and sometimes using the knowledge she’s acquired from hanging out with elena at the lab almost two decades ago and then remembering her and looking at herself in a mirror with the doctor’s coat before she put the disguise on and thinking about elena again. thinking of how she’s doing all this to capture elena’s daughter who ran away from the organization, elena’s daughter who grew up in the organization like vermouth did but managing to escape from it something vermouth never thought possible. she shoves down her emotions and practice her charming and easygoing smile in the mirror. and thinks about the angel who never once smiled at her
the way that shiho and shinichi are only a year apart is very significant to me for some very specific reasons.
mainly. the time frame when their mothers first met vermouth.
so shiho’s parents died shortly after she was born, and they had joined the organization a little before she was born, so that would be make the time vermouth and elena knew each other roughly something 17-19 years ago. could be narrower. yukiko married yusaku 17 years ago and had shinichi, and also quit acting - she and vermouth met before that and also studied disguises together, so that would also be over 17 years ago. so that’s also roughly the same time. before yukiko got married. what i want to say was i think sharon vineyard possibly had something going on with both of them at the same time, or subsequently. and it would make sense to me. because they are so different. the worlds vermouth interacted with them in are also so different. with yukiko (young and innocent and cheerful and enthusiastic and warm) it was a world outside of the organization. a brighter side to things. a welcomed distraction. a light in the darkness. with elena (hell angel, scientist doing experiment that vermouth had to suffer the consequences of, quiet and reserved - cold, even, especially towards org members) it was vermouth’s nightmare. she might be hell angel but they’re both in hell anyway, to vermouth. it’s also her job, her duty, her whole life, her cage. she’s trapped in and couldn’t leave no matter how much freedom the boss allowed her to have.
its very very different and also why one experience is sort of a salvation from the other.
