Build Your House, Call Me Home | PG | 10,000+
William’s House of Orphans AU
William/Gabe, others implied

William is not entirely certain how this happened, how he became a veritable magnet for downtrodden orphans, but he’s going to blame Jon.

Warning: this is not even remotely historically, geographically, or culturally accurate in any way.

Okay, so I know you warned that this would be ridiculous and all, and I was prepared for silliness and fun. Which I found. I was not, however, prepared for pangs! in my heart! Because underneath all the wonderful ridiculousness (Siska! as a girl! William adopts orphans), there's Jon bringing home lost kittens orphans, and Siska being afraid Butcher doesn't want to be friends anymore, and Butcher not knowing how to deal with the fact that the girl he fell in love with is a boy. And as if that wasn't enough:

An actual smile, with none of the edges Gabriel’s had so much lately; the bored edges that give William nightmares.

Gabe and his need for adventure and William and his fear that he isn't enough!

My favorite stories are always ones that combine the comedy and the angst, that have seriousness underneath the ridiculousness. I am completely in love with this story, and I didn't want it to end, ever. <3

thank you, hon! I really want to write more in this 'verse, there's so much more shenanigans for these guys to get into :)

My favorite stories are always ones that combine the comedy and the angst, that have seriousness underneath the ridiculousness. I love that as well! my college professors drilled balance into my head constantly.

I don't even know why but every time I read Alexes and Not-Alexes I smiled so wide.

And Greta as the fairy queen! And Ryan the ghosthead! And the giant purple snake!

That was so adorable and heart warming. ALL THE ALEXS/NOT-ALEXS! And Brendon being all tiny and adorable and holding hands with Spencer! This was lovely.
