(a picture of belle picking up a carton of eggs and placing it in a wire shopping basket. the photographer has taken it from behind, the subject seemingly unaware she is being captured. caption: the eagle is in flight)
COGS: Wouldn't a more appropriate caption be, 'The Eagle is collecting eggs?'
PLUMETTE: got to agree with my boy
LUMI: i was in a hurry! do not judge my on-the-fly captions!
LUMI: anyway, get in positions, toute de suite! she's heading towards the baking aisle to get the icing sugar, but after that it's only a 5 minute walk to adam's!
COGS: I still can't quite believe that you're sacrificing your birthday cake to get these two together
PLUMETTE: don't worry, cogs, lumi knows what he's doing.
PLUMETTE: he sacrificed his 27th to get the three of us to finally admit we were in a relationship, after all. his track record's not bad.
LUMI: 😍😍😍 MON AMOUR
COGS: When you put it like that, I suppose you have a point, Plumes
LUMI: 😍😍😍 MON COEUR
COGS: Ridiculous man.
COGS: X
PLUMETTE: get a room, boys
COGS: X's for you, too, Plumes.
PLUMETTE: … . .
PLUMETTE: stuffy old pocket watch xxxx
LUMI: THE EAGLE IS PAYING FOR HER GROCERIES VIA THE SELF-SERVICE CHECKOUT COME ON PEOPLE WE HAVE ONLY GOT ONE SHOT AT THIS

+1 carton of eggs, +1 bag of icing sugar, -5 affection for adam
thank you so much!
cool, i'm coming over. if you forgot the eggs and didn't even realise then i don't trust you to make the rest of this cake by yourself
oh, ok. that's really great of you, belle.
hey, buzz me up please, i'm outside

COGS: Alright, she's in the building.
LUMI: mon amour, if you would?
PLUMETTE: but of course

lostinabook so it looks like plans have changed for the super-secret surprise party. namely that it's no longer a secret.
lostinabook which means that my valiant efforts to go to tesco and get more eggs and icing sugar because SOMEONE forgot the key ingredients of a cake were for nothing!
notavillagelass oh no, is everything ok?
lostinabook notavillagelass he's not well, which is a massive shame. you only turn 29 once, after all. i think the plan is to just stay where i am and spend an evening with Cake Killer No 1, since it's kind of late
lostinabook notavillagelass thanks for the concern, though! lumi's birthday celebrations will just have to wait until he's feeling a bit better.
lostinabook in the meantime, there's no reason i can't make a cake anyway

lumi.
lumi why is there so much shit on the spare room bed?
i'm still in the process of moving in with plumette! there was a bit of a situation, things got out of hand
lumi did you have sex on the spare room bed and not bother to change the sheets because if you did that's really bad roommate etiquette
good thing i'm not your roommate any more then, huh?
it's just kind of annoying
and unsanitary.
i hope you feel better soon, you creepy. happy birthday.
charming as always, adam

LUMI: aaand now adam thinks i have no sense of personal hygiene
PLUMETTE: you DO know there were other excuses you could have made
LUMI: i make sacrifices for my art

tonight was fun. it's been ages since we just hung out together
yeah. i've really missed this.
adam?
yeah?
do you remember back at the english graduates ball? when we were on the balcony and we were breathless from all the dancing?
i thought you didn't want to talk about that
do you remember what you asked me? and i said i didn't know, and then i said we should be better as friends, and then all the stuff with my dad started?
yes. of course i do. i didn't say anything because i thought
i don't know what i thought
i didn't want to annoy or upset you
i didn't know then, but i know now. but i have a question, too. do you still mean what you said?
yes.
adam?
yeah?
can you come to the bedroom?

Belle Lecteur and Adam Garoux went from single to in a relationship.
A/N: Copy-pasted from my tumblr. Just a little fun thing I did a while back - I'm thinking of experimenting more with epistolary fiction, especially modern variants, so please let me know what you thought of this! And yes, this is with bonus Cogs/Lumi/Plumette. Just pretend Cogs is from 1991!verse to make it less weird, ok?
