MARGOT (9:43 P.M.):

DARCY (9:55 P.M.):Is there a reason you sent me a compilation video of Greatest Soap Opera Slaps of All Time?

MARGOT (10:02 P.M.):Elle and I are watching soap operas on YouTube and I fell down the rabbit hole.

DARCY (10:03 P.M.):Oh god.

MARGOT (10:04 P.M.):You ever watch Passions?

ELLE (10:05 P.M.):omg there’s a soap with a witch Darcy

ELLE (10:05 P.M.):her name is *Tabitha* omg

ELLE (10:06 P.M.):this is the best

DARCY (10:10 P.M.):There’s a crossover connection with Bewitched, actually. Tabitha claims to be the daughter of a witch named Samantha and a mortal named Darrin.In a later season, she has a daughter who she names Endora. Dr. Bombay makes a few appearances which suggests that Passions and Bewitched exist in the same universe.

ELLE (10:11 P.M.):#obsessed

MARGOT (10:11 P.M.):Elle just made a weird choking noise and keeps muttering oh my god.

DARCY (10:12 P.M.):Did you try turning her off and turning her on again?

MARGOT (10:12 P.M.):Jesus. Nerd.

MARGOT (10:12 P.M.):You’re as bad as your brother.

MARGOT (10:13 P.M.):You’re just closeted. A closeted nerd.

MARGOT (10:14 P.M.):Btw turning Elle on is your job. Ugh.

DARCY (10:43 P.M.):Was I supposed to sort by kudos or hits on AO3? I can’t remember.

MARGOT (10:47 P.M.):Kudos if you’re looking for quality. You strike me as the type who’s picky about her word porn.

DARCY (10:48 P.M.):Excuse me for being concerned about proper grammar and punctuation.

MARGOT (10:49 P.M.):You’re excused. Elle’s texting must drive you up the wall.

DARCY (10:52 P.M.):It’s fine. I don’t mind.

ELLE (10:54 P.M.):awwwww

ELLE (10:54 P.M.):you dont mind my texting shorthand

ELLE (10:55 P.M.):wud u still lik me if i typed lik this

ELLE (10:58 P.M.):darcy?

ELLE (11:03 P.M.):DARRRRRCCY

MARGOT (11:05 P.M.):Idea! You should write a Passions x Bewitched crossover fic. I’ll beta it for you.

MARGOT (11:06 P.M.):You’ll get like 2 kudos and 6 hits because there’s no audience for something that niche, but I’ll love it and so will Elle.

DARCY (11:08 P.M.):Maybe.
