Shades of Cool, Tyler Galpin

I love you like a rotten dog.  I love you like my canines are falling out of my gums.  Like a monster,  like a beast.  Like something not worth loving back.

I will start washing the ashes off my hands after I touch you and you'll pretend that falling asleep on the couch night after night is an accident. It's not that I don't love you, it's just that I can't pretend like the roof isn't caving in or that I don't see the smoke leaking out from the gaps in your teeth. Forgive me, darling, but I cannot walk into the place that is burning. I am already on fire and I cannot save you.

YOU AND I KNOW EACH
OTHER IN OUR BONES.

Andromeda Addams has always known she's different than the rest of her family. In another life, she's painted gold while they're fury and silver, glinting like a knife. At night, she prays through a throttled neck, crying in her room where she can never be alone. She's not like her family. She can be gentle. She can be vulnerable. She knows how to love without wickedness. But her and Wednesday were sisters, younger and older — polar opposites of each other. Wednesday was just like their parents, a dream born fulfilled.

Mother, she prays, eat me and give birth to me again. This time around I'll make you proud. The one thing she inherited from her parents was their ability to love what was always in front of them, which was family, and Andromeda loved her family. She loved Wednesday. Wednesday didn't love her. She didn't know how to love. That's what she didn't inherited.

Wednesday, in the words of many people, was frightening. She was eccentric. People were scared of her and she liked it. Their fear made her smile – it was the only thing that did make her smile. Violence was her euphoria. Wednesday didn't know how to love, how to care, but Andromeda did and it hurt her. She showed her sister love and all Wednesday did was throw it back in her face. They were sisters but they were two different people. They were the moon and the stars.

Andromeda loved the moon, the beautiful moon, and he never left. He was always there. And she loved her sister, but Wednesday could never love her the way the moon did. But they would always be there for each other, no matter how different they were.

How far is a person willing to go to protect the people they love? It's a question the Addams family never had to think about. Andromeda would do anything for them, no matter the cost. Maybe in a way, she was like her family, in some sick, twisted form. Is this what mama wanted? For her babies to be so haunted? Is that really what she intended?

Tyler Galpin always tried keeping himself hidden in the shadows even when he always had eyes on him. He was the sheriff's kid, his name known all over, meaning he could never hide anything without his father finding out. He saw Nevermore kids come and go in the town of Jericho. He knew how strange they were, how dangerous they could be, but he never met anyone like Andromeda Adams, someone whose last name should have frightened him but it was the complete opposite.

In a way they were the same. They were outcast in their own ways, desperate to have someone love them like they love everyone else, and for the first time, Andromeda didn't feel stuck in the black hole she was born into. She wasn't judged or whispered about with him. She was understood and listened to. Tyler became her moon.

But like everything in her life, the infatuation started to crumble; sooner or later, the hoax would reveal itself and Andromeda would feel like a fool for falling for a lie.

The younger sister who's desperate for her other sister's love x the older sister who can't express that love correctly trope has me in the tightest of chokeholds

Andromeda Addams. I love her so much. She's Sally Owens in another life. Violent with a gentle heart. An awkward lover girl. Literally Beauty and the Beast

I can't write another Wednesday fic without bringing back Kennedy Eden. She's just too iconic.
