This is a series of drabbles and facts, in no particular order, about what life is like for the family now, and it's not in the form of a story or anything. Some are funny, and some are more serious. Begin!

Nikki's birthday is May 3rd, Lizzie's birthday is June 7th, and Sam's birthday is July 12th.

Sam once asked Fiona why she didn't end up with Uncle Klaus instead of Quigley, "Wouldn't that make sense, mom?" Fiona and Klaus looked at each other for a moment before she jokingly replied, "Why would I ever go for a glasses-wearing dork like him? Your father is way more handsome and charming." She said this while adjusting her own glasses, and Klaus and Isadora could not stop laughing. Sam thought it was a pretty funny answer too. The actual reason of course was because Klaus loved Isadora and Fiona loved Quigley, and that was just the way it was. However, on one separate occasion, Isadora did ask Fiona if she was at all attracted to Klaus when they met, just out of curiosity. Fiona's response had been, "He was kind of cute, but I respected that you were together, and Quigley was cuter." The two girls never said another word on the matter after this conversation.

Isadora and Fiona are actually good friends, and very close as sisters-in-law. Yet for some reason everyone who meets them doesn't think they would get along as well as they do. They're so close that Isadora was almost chosen as Fiona's maid of honor when she and Quigley were married; but ultimately the role was given to Violet and Isadora was a bridesmaid. Nobody minded this decision.

Captain Widdershins is still a part of Fiona's life even after she left V.F.D., and whenever the Queequeg surfaces for supplies the Captain makes sure to visit. He is usually offshore most of the year for V.F.D. business though, but he always makes time to send a letter or sometimes gifts for the kids. Phil is still working as his crew-mate, and he enjoys visiting when the Captain does. He's the longest serving cook the Queequeg has ever had.

Sunny has a boyfriend named Trevor Macready. They met in a cooking class at Whitmore Academy because their teacher paired them for an assignment. They grew a relationship out of common interests, and Trevor has recently been approved of by the family. He is an orphan too; however, his parents were once fire-starters. He knows nothing about V.F.D. The two are happy together.

Sunny has admitted that Nikki, Lizzie, and Sam are the only children she needs in her life. So, if she and Trevor get married in the future, they won't be having kids of their own. Trevor is perfectly fine with this decision.

Sunny has a pet snake named Monty. He is another one of the species called the Incredibly Deadly Viper. He was a gift from Violet and Klaus for her 15th birthday, after many hours arguing with the Herpetological Society about finding another of the species, since the original viper was long gone. Sunny also wears a silver snake pendant around her neck that she hardly ever removes unless she needs to.

Beatrice Snicket is Sunny's best friend, and the two are rarely apart when at Whitmore. Whenever Kit and Dewey are busy with V.F.D. business during holidays, Beatrice is always welcome at the Baudelaire/Quagmire estate so she has a second family to spend the occasion with.

Trevor has a friend named Hunter who is in love with Beatrice, but hasn't admitted it to her yet. Beatrice does return his feelings, and Sunny and Trevor are working on getting the two together slowly.

Duncan, Violet, Klaus, and Isadora celebrate the day that Duncan and Isadora were saved from being kidnapped as a very special anniversary. The four have dinner together with just them. In private, Duncan and Isadora exchange presents with their respective spouses, and the two couples give each other special affection. This anniversary also falls on Klaus' birthday.

Nikki and Lizzie aren't bothered by their respective parents being openly affectionate with each other. While Sam still thinks it's gross when his parents kiss in front of him.

Sunny has sworn that if anyone dares to hurt her nieces and nephew, she will personally rip them in half.

Far down the street from the family estate is the Spats' family mansion. Carmelita is an adult now and is married with a son named Cameron. She has apparently not noticed that the orphans she used to bully at Prufrock live so close to her. Cameron is a jerk to Nikki, Lizzie, and Sam, but since he is enrolled in a private school they rarely have to deal with him.

Violet's birthday is April 8th. Klaus' birthday is March 28th. Duncan, Quigley, and Isadora's birthday is March 31st. Fiona's birthday is March 5th. Sunny's birthday is October 1st. Beatrice's birthday is April 22nd.

Isadora often catches Klaus and Lizzie staying up late reading. She sends Lizzie to her room to punish her. But she can't stop her husband from doing it. And every time she tries, Klaus just laughs and says, "You know you can't stop me, right?" Isadora just sighs in defeat and says, "I know."

Nikki has to hair back with a ribbon to help her think, just like her mother. She wants to be an artist someday and she never goes anywhere without her sketchbook. Her room is covered in pictures.

Upon first glance, Sam appears to have very little of his mother in him; aside from his, slightly darker than his father's, mixed skin tone. He's a troublemaker, like his father was at his age, and seems to resemble Quigley more in facial appearance. However, his grades at school prove that he is intelligent like Fiona. He's even interested in marine biology. He just likes to have fun.

When Lizzie was born, Duncan and Quigley had promised themselves they wouldn't cry when they held their niece for the first time... they cried anyway and their wives had to help them calm down. Isadora thought it was sweet that her brothers cared so much.

Justice Judy Strauss became very good friends with Jerome Squalor and his husband Charles after meeting them at Violet and Duncan's wedding.

Esmé is currently in prison after being arrested at Hotel Denouement. Jerome was given the address of the prison she was in, shortly after she was brought there, and he visited her once and only once. His visit consisted of him getting her to sign divorce papers, since they were still technically married after she joined Olaf. The two haven't spoken since. And despite Jerome's exceptionally kind heart, even he could admit she was the worst thing that ever happened in his life.

When Duncan proposed to Violet it was in a beautiful flower garden, at night, with fairy lights strung all over. He set up a radio to play a few songs for them. He didn't mind calming his nerves with a stupid line that made Violet laugh. ("The violets are beautiful tonight, and you're the most beautiful of all.") When he bought the engagement ring it was all he could think about for a week. He even fell behind on his news reports at work because he was so distracted! He proposed to her the traditional way, and she basically tackled him afterwards. ("Yes, yes, yes, Duncan! Of course I'll marry you!") The two then turned on some music and slow danced to the song "Can't Smile Without You." A song they would dance to at their wedding.

When Klaus proposed to Isadora it was at night in the backyard of their house; everyone else at the estate was asleep at the time. They spent some time stargazing and talking on a blanket before he finally worked up all his courage. It was less traditional because he used a couplet. "Isadora Quagmire you are the love of my life, will you do me the honor of being my wife?" Isadora practically screamed her answer and covered him with kisses.

When Duncan and Quigley were set to walk Isadora down the aisle at her wedding and give her away together, they both cried when they saw their sister in her lovely white dress. But Duncan somehow managed not to cry during his best man speech at the reception.

As a married couple, Duncan calls Violet "love," while she calls him "honey." They rarely stray from these names. Klaus calls Isadora "darling," while she calls him various different names to suit her mood. They range from love, to honey, to darling, and on the special anniversary she'll sweetly refer to him as "her hero" in private. Quigley calls Fiona "Doll" and she calls him "Quiggles."

While Sunny doesn't have a pet name for Trevor, due to simply not thinking of one, his pet name for her is "Sunshine."

As parents, Violet and Duncan are only strict with Nikki when it's necessary. Duncan tries to be a responsible father when Violet has to let him babysit, but he isn't above letting his daughter get away with a little rule breaking every now and then. She just wanted one more cookie. What's wrong with that?

The kids are banned from going into Violet's inventing studio in the den. The reason is because when they were previously allowed in there, they accidentally broke 3 inventions. Two of which had not been finished yet. They were grounded for a week. Whenever Violet is working on an invention at home and Nikki needs her attention, it's the only time she's allowed in the room.

Nikki's "favorite" uncle is Klaus; because he's so smart. Lizzie's "favorite" uncle is Quigley; because he's funny. And Sam's "favorite" uncle is Duncan; because he's smarter than his dad. The adults do try to discourage the kids from having "favorite" family members, but that doesn't stop them. And Sunny is everyone's favorite aunt.

Violet and Fiona think it's funny when Duncan and Quigley have their annual, "I'm the best looking one" conversation/argument. Isadora always interrupts them and wins. Of course, Violet and Fiona think they're just being silly, and are too biased towards their respective husbands to get involved. They're convinced that the triplets will continue this never ending debate even when they're old and grey.

Violet, Isadora, and Fiona make regular time for "girls' nights," where they leave their children with their husbands and go out to spend time together. These nights are usually filled with conversations about raising their kids, and joking about their dorky husbands.

Quigley and Sam tried one year on Mother's Day to make breakfast for Fiona. They set off the smoke alarm, nearly giving her and everyone else a heart attack, and aren't allowed to try to cook anymore. Quigley is also the only triplet that can't cook at all. Duncan and Isadora both can, but only to a certain extent.

Isadora sometimes gets stress nightmares about the night she was kidnapped. Klaus is always there to help calm her down and reassure her that nothing will take her away from him ever again.

The first time Nikki and Lizzie were allowed to visit Fernald with Sam, they were brought by Violet. Fernald commented that Nikki "looked just like her mother, except for her father's eyes." And Lizzie "had her mother's eyes... and her father's eyesight." Normally, Lizzie is sensitive about jokes about her glasses, but she thought it was funny.

Nikki is confident, sarcastic, and fun. Lizzie is painfully shy, quiet, and intelligent. Sam is outgoing, playful, and tries to be rebellious, but fails.

Nikki and Sam are very protective of Lizzie and always stand up for her when she gets bullied at school. Nobody messes with their cousin on their watch!

Because Lizzie is so shy, she often lets Nikki speak for her around other kids their age. Not that Nikki minds of course.

Lizzie's favorite book series is Harry Potter. (She's a Ravenclaw) And she has on one occasion commented on her father resembling Harry in appearance. Klaus just smiled and said, "I would if I had green eyes, but no." Isadora once jokingly sang Ginny's Valentine song from Chamber of Secrets to him, and Klaus thought it was hilarious.

Each marriage has had one major fight, but they of course made up in the end.

Violet and Duncan are basically in charge of the family as a whole, and nobody minds this decision.

Due to Klaus working at a research center, he sometimes gets to interact with Fiona's scientist co-workers; they often need researchers to help with things. They're always surprised to learn that the two are in-laws and friends that go way back.

Since Isadora works at a university as a poetry teacher, she makes it no secret that her students are encouraged to call her Mrs. Baudelaire. Not that she gets any kind of personal satisfaction from it or anything... and of course Klaus knows about it.

When Sunny babysits, she doesn't mind letting the kids stay up late, and even break a few rules as long as nothing is broken and nobody gets hurt; because Sunny is still a teenager and wants to have fun herself. This gets worse when Beatrice joins them. But Sunny is still responsible when she needs to be.

Because Sam is the troublemaker of the kids, Quigley is often put into the awkward position of being a strict parent, while Fiona is already the responsible parent. Duncan and Isadora think it's funny when they watch their once troublemaker brother be a stern father. Sam loves both his parents either way, even if he gets punished often.

Duncan is the one who often won't get out of bed in the morning, no matter what he has to do that day. Whenever Violet can't convince him, she usually asks Nikki to help out by pouncing on him. It always works.

As a graduation present, from Whitmore Academy, Jacqueline and Larry trekked through hundreds of V.F.D. files before finding two separate pictures. One was for Violet and Klaus. It was a picture of Bertrand and Beatrice, just before they were married as their hands didn't have wedding rings, but Beatrice was wearing an engagement ring. The other was for Duncan, Quigley, and Isadora and it was a picture of Quinten and Karen, also before they were married. The two pictures were old, but carefully copied. The family members have several in their houses to ensure that these precious photos aren't lost forever like the other pictures of their parents had been.

Klaus and Isadora only call Lizzie by her full name, Elizabeth, when she's in trouble or upon first introducing her to someone before specifying her nickname; though only family members and close friends are allowed to call Isadora "Izzie." The same rule is loosely given for Sam since his full name is Samuel.

If you ask Duncan what his favorite Disney movie is, he will say Aladdin. If you ask Violet what Duncan's favorite Disney movie is, she will tell the truth and say Cinderella. "The original, not the shitty remake; he cries like a baby every time." "Violet!"

Nikki, Lizzie, and Sam go to public school in the city. They were pretty disappointed that they couldn't attend Whitmore to see Aunt Sunny, and Auntie Beatrice as often. The reasoning was because the family didn't want them to have to live at a private school for most of the year. The children are fine with this, and have several friends at school and make good grades.

Violet, Isadora, and Fiona used to sing their children to sleep when they were infants. Ever since they stopped needing to, they switched to singing for their husbands because they love their voices.

The family printing business is mostly run by the staff as Violet and Duncan have their main jobs, but if there is a problem one of them will step in to help.

The Daily Punctilio was taken over a couple years by a woman named Moxie Mallahan, and it has since started printing truthful, detailed, articles that the public enjoys. Duncan started working there immediately after this change and hasn't complained about the paper since. One day, he was shocked to see that Lemony Snicket, Beatrice Snicket's uncle, was in Moxie's office talking politely to her. After he left, she revealed that she was his best friend since they were children, and is now his wife. And she regularly visits Kit and Dewey with Lemony at their house. (Beatrice calls her "Aunt Moxie.")

When they were attending Whitmore Academy, before Quigley and Fiona went on their first real date, he apologized to Violet for hitting on her during their first meeting. Violet shrugged it off and accepted his apology despite assuring him that he didn't need to give her one. When Fiona found out about this she wasn't offended because it was before she had met Quigley anyway, and she knew Violet was very loyal to Duncan.

And that's all the ones I can think of for now! I'll get around to writing another real story eventually! Hopefully, this was alright!
