My CAOS Fics

Empty Chairs at Empty Tables: https://archiveofourown.org/works/29337801

It had been hard enough to grapple with the reality that Edward had died, and the remorse she had felt over that. The tension between her and Diana, and to an extent the tension that had developed between herself and Edward. She had just gotten settled into the role as head of the household, just eased into his footsteps and his ghost had all but faded from haunting her, and now? Now she was supposed to deal with losing Sabrina on top of it. Another seat at the table left empty.

Post Part 4, Zelda deals with the loss of Sabrina.

"Our obligation is not to question, it is to obey and participate." Zelda's inner thoughts on The Feast of Feasts tradition as she volunteers for the Spellman family. My first CAOS fic.

It was just her and her suspicion that something was wrong with her sister.

Hilda's perspective of the events that happen after Blackwood and Zelda return from their honeymoon in Rome. Set in Part 2, mention of the Caligari Spell.

I’ve Been Here The Whole Time: https://archiveofourown.org/works/30091347

Zelda Spellman had never once, since the death of her brother and his wife, fooled herself into believing that she was Sabrina’s mother.

Little Sabrina is sick, and Zelda is there to take care of her. Mostly fluff but has a good dose of angst.

Out of The Mouth of Babes: https://archiveofourown.org/works/32988097

Zelda hung up the phone, trying to rack her brain for what a seven year old child could say that would have her teacher calling her guardians to come down and talk about it in the middle of the day.

(Because we all know this happened at one point or another).

Five times Zelda sang happy birthday and the one time she didn't.

“Maybe…” Zelda lowered her newspaper at Hilda's tone. No, no, she knew where this was going. “Maybe… if you ask really, really, really nicely, Aunt Zee might consider chaperoning the trip, love?”

-Zelda Spellman finds herself chaperoning a first grade field trip to the Greendale zoo.

“I know you don’t like me.” Diana’s eyes stared right at hers in the reflection of the mirror, a hand to her curls, the comb stopping suddenly as she voiced the statement in a quiet, but resigned tone.

-Zelda is tasked as Diana's Maid of Dishonor.

“I have received word that Flight 2331 went down overseas en route to Italy, and that there were no survivors.”

“The Dark Lord bestows on us many gifts, but even He cannot cheat death, Sabrina,” Zelda said slowly, her voice thick.

No doubt, Hilda thought that Zelda had a change of heart about her views on revenge, but Zelda was still that same Zelda Spellman from her Academy days. Ruthless, vicious, and protective to a fault, and no one messed with her niece.

-Zelda and Hilda attend Sabrina's first soccer game.

Sister, sister oh so fair, why is there blood all over your hair?: https://archiveofourown.org/works/47682805

Zelda guessed that was why the Cain Pit was a sort of odd comfort to her. She could send her last remaining sibling into the realm of death, knowing that she would come back, that she wasn’t gone forever.

OHH THESE ARE FUN!

⚡ book to erase from your mind

I would have to say Twilight because I look back at it now and Cringe, but thirteen-year old me was soooo obsessed.

🐥 series you regret reading

Probably the Twilight series. I wish I had gotten into the more obscure series that came out during those years, I think they would have been just as interesting.

🧸 tropes you would kill if you could

THE ONLY HAPPY ENDING A WOMAN DESERVES IS ONE WITH CHILDREN (looking at you, Hunger Games).

I'm not like other girls...

Love Triangles (Give me polyamorous couples or give me death)

Miscommunication

The Chosen One

✨ least favourite genre

I really despise romance books. I just think they're so predictable and shallow and I only read them if there seems like there is something more to them, but that's a big IF.

⚜️ (not so) secret book guilty pleasure

I ADORE Purple Prose (to the surprise of nobody).

I also love when authors include maps, family trees, bibliographies and insights, like YES GIVE ME ALL OF THE INFORMATION.

one thing about me is i frickin love long ass youtube videos about the most random and niche topics imaginable. defunctland's investigation into who created the disney channel theme song? oh i was seated. a two hour breakdown on the lore of the entire tekken video game franchise? sign me up. a vlog about a cross-country roadtrip dining at every single rainforest cafe in the united states? i'm there.

^ that pairs really well with this quote too

my favorite part about this mspaint is how succinctly it depicts the Titan. it was just a fucking tube with titanium endcaps.

do you want to see a submersible that's capable of reaching the titanic and has been in operation since 1964? yes this has been in operation for almost 60 years:

look at how this thing was designed with safety in mind:

the part where the crew sits is entirely made out of titanium, and it's a sphere. why? because a sphere has less weak points than a cylinder. it's more or less uniformly strong in all directions

if you look at other deep sea subs that support a crew and you'll notice a pattern. while their superstructure that is not pressurized may vary, the pressurized compartments are spherical. take a look at this pretty comprehensive list of manned deep-sea submersibles and click through to some that are on the list of the deepest dives

I referenced the Alvin first because it was famously used to explore the titanic but the list goes much deeper (remember the titanic is at about 4000m depth)

Here's a cutaway of the Challenger. Notice anything?

the titanium sphere used to house the crew?

now look at the Titan:

its an accident waiting to happen.

the Alvin designed 60 years ago is still diving to the depths beyond the titanic, and has completed around FIVE THOUSAND DIVES because it was designed with safety in mind

the Titan got crushed into a billionaire smoothie maker because the CEO who commissioned it designed it to carry as many paying customers as possible for the lowest cost, and by his own mantra of "safety gets in the way of innovation"

you can't innovate your way around physics! the physics that led to the design of the Alvin in 1964 are the same physics that made gogurt out of you and your passengers mr stockton rush. no amount of free market entrepreneurial spirit is gonna make your tube go super saiyan at 4000m and prevent the mathematical certainty of physics from taking your life

Everytime I see posts like this I get filled with such profound sadness

Cause you know who has the same brainrot as you? The same unhinged feelings as you after you've read the fic? The person who always wants to scream about the fic with you?

THE PERSON WHO WROTE IT

I never used to leave comments but since I got into the habit of commenting on everything i enjoy it's been incredible. Especially when the author gets back to me about it and we get to have a discussion of what other ideas they had. One writer replied to my comment with a 5 paragraph essay detailing the Floorplan of the building the characters lived in and it was incredible

Anyways this is all to say that if you find a fic that just makes you want to scream from the rooftops, leave a comment saying that to the author and maybe they will join you and you can scream incoherently together
