god i wish etoile was a bigger show just so there would be more fan works to go to when i'm sad about missing it. i know i keep talking about it but it just sucks so bad that such a good show didn't get promoted then got cancelled despite a 2 season order! we're never seeing this world and these characters again and their stories were all left untied ... it just pisses me off really bad
the urge to write an étoile season 2 fic is consuming me right now so here's all my current thoughts on what would go into it
set months after the swap ends, cheyenne is now artistic director of MBT. how did this happen? we will never know (cheyenne will claim she seduced jack but really nicholas talked him into letting him retire)
jack and cheyenne have a weird codependent fwb situationship going on that no one cane make sense of. they're perfect for each other. they're insufferable. HR hates them.
tobias terminated his contract with MBT and stayed in paris with gabin. they've moved in together and now have 2 fishes named albrecht and hilarion. HR hates them too.
mishi has returned to MBT. she taught bruna how to use zoom before she left and they have weekly calls.
(bruna convinces cheyenne to take care of mishi. cheyenne takes this job Very Seriously (she always wanted a little sister))
genevieve gets into Shenanigans (birds in the theater, the bull makes comeback, etc etc)
what would the plot be? i have no idea. i'm running on fumes and this fic idea is running on vibes
some étoile headcanons because i'm bummed about the cancellation again
- despite being an absolute weirdo, tobias is a really good actor because he fixated on acting & ballet mime when he first got a lead role at his dance school (it was basilio from don q)
- gabin is really good at ice skating
- cheyenne secretly loves the 'kiddie' ballets like nutcracker and coppelia
- tobias was never the type to show off but he has basically perfect double tours and entrechat six's
- genevieve actually danced for a long time, then quit to pursue something "realistic" in college (probably management-adjacent) only to end up in the ballet world again
- cheyenne's favorite part of class is adagio in center
- jack never trained in ballet but had a short ballroom phase in high school
i genuinely think cheyenne would be the BIGGEST gabias supporter when she first hears about them and then will immediately take it back when she sees how insufferable they are together

something something about tobias stepping back when jack tries to approach him ("don't get too close"), just to INITIATE touch with gabin once he gets back to paris ...
tobias is forced to teach company class except he never uses the proper terms for moves and won't demonstrate properly so after like 5 minutes gabin is called in to translate
tobias: okay! fondues. down and woosh and bam bam. then three swish things. all around and then reverse
gabin, already extremely tired: that's a single fondue, then double and then three ronde en'lairs to each side
i finished mrs maisel yesterday and lemme just say ... etoile season 2 should've had jack's ex-wife played by rachel broshanan. and her name would still be miriam.
