#lynch brothers
Living for the transformation of matthew fandom from “he’s an angel and i hope nothing bad happens to him ever ” to “i hope he beats the absolute everloving piss out of both of his brothers. and also gets a gun”
just thinking about how this is for real going to be a story about the lynch brothers. and like. there were three of them. and like. if you didnt like one try another because the lynch brother others found too sour or too sweet might be just to your tastes. just. theyre literally the lynch brothers. the orphans lynch. they had all been formed by dreams one way or another. and did u know they were handsome devils ???? down to the last one ??? and their family ???? dont even get me started like listen listen their mother aurora diED THE WAY SOME DRE
leader of our merry men
matthew decides to start answering the phone by saying
“HEWWO??? this is matthew :)”
and it makes declan very upset and ronan isn’t sure how to feel about it because he was the one to come up with matthew so he has a crisis because ronan realizes that matthew’s humor is really just his sense of humor. ronan decides that it’s not a big deal, since it was 3 year old him that came up with matthew, so that’s why matthew’s sense of humor is weird.
but then opal starts doing it.
Spring cleaning at the Barns is kind of a combination of geocaching, those really big candles that reveal shiny treasures when they melt, and real life survival horror video game. What’s that thing that’s been in the corner collecting dust since Matthew was crawling? Oh, no big deal, just an umbrella you can’t open because there are teeth on the inside that start gnashing when the umbrella gets wet. Hey, Declan swept under the couch and found a mood ring Ronan dreamt for him when he was six because he wanted to know exactly when it was okay to approach him for a hug. As the shadows get longer in the house, the cider Aurora used to warm up for them on chilly autumn nights makes its way into mugs with splashes of whiskey from a bottle that never goes empty. The Lynch brothers collapse mentally and physically exhausted in the sitting room they’d build blanket forts in as children, surrounded by treasures and horrors, and sleep a dreamless sleep.
Matthew likes making things, but he needs specific directions. Declan hands him a recipe to make cookies that is technically for kids, but is very clear and stepped out. Matthew makes a batch, makes a mess, and they’re not perfect, but they’re cookies and they’re edible. He likes it so much he does it every few days - the townhouse never runs out of cookies. And every time Declan finishes work for a day, Matthew tells him he did a good job, “here’s a cookie.”
