I just joined your Patreon this month because I caught up with all the Like Us books and can finally be spoiled! If there's a bonus scene from Charming Like Us... I guess I'd like to read one from Charlie's POV and understand what documentary he's trying to film for himself, or even see where he ran off to when Oscar lost him in one of the many countries they visited. Edit: Jane or Moffy's POV when they find out that Charlie wants to do his own docuseries.

Dani P

Farrow POV at the cheesesteak restaurant when Oscar & Jack go public

Dani P

Moffy or Jane POV when Jack tells them he's rich.

Haley Secen

First ones that pop into my head - any part of the golf tournament from Jane, Thatcher, Maximoff or Farrow. Maximoff being told about Ernest from Charlie

Andrea

Omg I would love to see the ending of Charming from other POVs, the proposal and when the other characters find out Jack and Oscar are already married and then the party after. I’ll take any POV but I’ll never say no to a Jane or Thatcher POV 😉 Which characters are enjoying the World Cup right now? Brazil advanced to the next round, are any of the Oliveira siblings excited about that?

Haley Secen

Also Jane trying on her wedding dress!

Farida

farrow’s pov when oscar and jack go public

Dani P

Moffy or Farrow POV when Charlie tells Moffy about what he did to Earnest Mangold

Dani P

Moffy or Farrow POV when they find out what Donnelly's deal with Scottie entails

Haley Secen

Also the scene when Maximoff & Farrow go to S9 looking for Xander’s phone (so we can get Maximoff’s celebrity crush as Farrow)

Haley Secen

Any part of the Emergency Rainbow Brigade scene from Maximoff or Farrow

Haley Secen

Also I know they recount their memory of getting married - but actually seeing Oscar and Jack doing all the things and the wedding in their (drunken) POVs

Bri

ooo! I would love to see Jack trying to interview Charlie at the cafe and only getting one worded answers lol! Or even Oscar’s POV at the end of CLU when Charlie sees Roxanne + the proposal :)

Ellieeeee

Moffy and Farrow finding out that Charlie was mugged and injured

Ellieeeee

We don’t get bonus scenes from characters pov’s that we haven’t had a book on yet :)

Beatrice

Literally anything from Jane’s pov!! We get so little Cobalt content🥲🥲

Gillian Gibson

Either Moffy or Farrow's POV in the car after the lunch where Farrow tells Moffy about Lo wanting to speak to his Dad. I NEED to know what Moffy thinks.

Gillian Gibson

Farrow's POV when Jack and Oscar go public. The conversation between Moffy and Charlie when Charlie tells him why he wanted to have Jack film him and how he forced Mangold out.

Tracy

😅

Beatrice

btw I’d love to see Jane working to become a wedding planner/event planner! Jane’s books were all about finding her passion, and now that she found it I’d love to see her starting her own company 🙏🏻

Andressa Camille

Moffy POV of Oscar and Jack marriage. Jane POV of Oscar and Jack going public. Tatcher POV of Charlies "cupid" plan. Farrow POV of Charlies plan of getting Moffy back in the HMC.

madzz

Oscar and Jack's wedding. I know they were drunk, but they could recollect something.

Catherine

1. Farrow's POV of when Oscar and Jack go public. 2. Farrow's POV when Jack tells him about his plan of "proposing" at the ballet. 3. Jane & Thatcher's POV of wedding prep. 4. Oscar & Jack's POV (drunken POV) of their wedding and vows (if they have any) 5. Oscar & Farrow's POV talking at the engagement/wedding celebratory party 6. Oscar & Jack's POV of their honeymoon 7. Oscar & Jack's POV any extra moments between them (I LOVE HIghveira so much!)

shi luvs st.cobalt

oooo !! Moments from the CLU timeline that I would lovee to see as a bonus scene (🤎): ➸ Maximoff + Farrow arriving at Studio 9 to search for Xander’s phone (Moffy or Farrow’s POV). ➸ Maximoff + Farrow + Baby Ripley at the carnival (🥹🤎) (Moffy or Farrow’s POV).

Lucia

The troublemakers and the golf cart accident, how they got there and their parents reactions. (Luna's pov)

Illyana

Hey Lore Queens! Hmmm a bonus scene... IDK if this would exclusively happen in the Charming Like Us Timeline, but probably and certainly after Sinful but I would love - a bonus scene with Thatcher tells one of the famous ones (Doesn't have to be Lo or Lily could be even Jane or Moffy!) interacting/sharing the intimate memory about way how Skylar used to read a Blood Red Road that Halway Comics publishes, and how it mattered so much to his brother and would talk about it for hours to Thatch? I would love to see a moment where this pays off! Cuz what are the odds? His brother is a fan of the comic house and he ends up marrying it into, and Skylar is never here to see it. -on a more lighter note, again probably in the Charming Like Us timeline, i'd be Thatcher, Jane and Audrey watching Outlander... aside from Scotland being a special place in their hearts, i really wanna see his reaction (or there lack of?) with the girls reacting to Jaime and the vintage version of a 'jock' during the 1800s :P

Hailey

Jane POV of the cobalts checking on Tom and Eliot after they crashed the golf cart

Zeynep

OH PLEASE we are deprived of charlie roxanne content fr 😭

Zeynep

Moffy's pov when he learns about Charlie's plan about the documentary and of course of course Oscar's pov when Charlie asks about Roxanne lol !

kelsey

happy happy saturday!!! i would love to read some quiet domestic moments with marrow and ripley! or even maybe a luna pov of her babysitting him? i feel like it’s not that helpful to just say ‘anything with ripley’ but i’m honestly not picky. i just need more of that cute lil baby in my life 🫶🏼 also also!! i’m currently rereading/annotating the like us series and i have two questions circa dlu: 1) after the firecracker incident when jane is drunkenly walking up the stairs, y’all describe her like “cinderella at a ball”; was that foreshadowing for the cinderella ad in tlu? and 2) luna wears a shirt that says space babe on it and i’m wondering if that’s where donnelly got his nickname for her?

kelsey

marrow and ripley at the carnival would be so cute!!!

Dani P

Jack POV when he's asking Charlie's with his proposal to Oscar

Dani P

*Charlie's help with

Bella Rose

I think Jane trying on wedding her wedding dresses from either her or Moffy’s perspective would be so special 🫶🥹💕

Lauren Gibbs

More of Thatcher and Farrow! I feel like we haven't gotten to see much of their friendship and it was such a fun part of the first bonus scene!! 💕😍

Lauren Gibbs

Also literally anything from Oscar and Jack, my Highveira heart!!! 😭💕✨️

Melin

for real!!

Sioned

I’d love to get moffy’s pov when Charlie tells him about ernest. Also moffy or jane’s pov in the wedding dress shopping! I’d love a scene where Oscar or jack checks on Eliot or Tom after the golf tournament

Sioned

Oooooo!! This is good

Bella Rose

Both of these are so good!!

Diana Medd

Like others have mentioned, I'd love to read moffy or farrow pov of Charlie delivering news of ernest' actions. Or, the discussion between moffy and farrow that determines moffy is taking back ceo position. I'd love anything marrow....my favorite couple

Miranda Lefebvre 🌷🤍

I saw a couple others already mention it, but Jane trying on her wedding gowns (also her conversations with her mom about what kind of gowns she wanted) and any other wedding plans in Jane or Thatchers POVS.

Emily

Yes this!!!

sin

i feel like marrow at a concert would be so cute

Illyana

ALSO, i was re-reading SKOP last night, the chapter where Moffy walks in without knocking, and then proceeds to go watch Wolveirne and the X-Men on tv. Is there intention behind why LiLo are playing that show for Moffy over the other x-men cartoons? X-Men Evolution, the 90's X-Men animated show etc?

Illyana

YES YES YES to Marrow going to S9 and Jane trying on her wedding dress!!!!

Illyana

yes yes for the domestic quiet moments with marrow and ripley!

Anna

I would like to see Rose's POV of this

Ellieeeee

Ooh yesssss, and rose and connors reaction to the car accident

Ellieeeee

Rose and Connor’s pov for the car crash

A spector

I want to see the development of Jack and Jo’s friendship. (Sibling hood?) I loved seeing them at the double triple date but I feel like I’m missing some scenes… 💭 🎬

Illyana

Also this is TOTALLY not a CLU bonus scene idea, and i suck for exploiting this opportunity but in my defence ITS CHRISTMAS SO ITS ON MY MIND. A christmas scene at the hales from when they were kids? Maybe one where one of the kids found out Lo and Lily are santa? :O BUT with a HEA! XD What would the hale kids be getting and asking for christmas ? what are their traditions? I can imagine maybe Day all the families get together? who does the christmas present distrbution? Do the hales get each and every Cobalt a gift ?:O Lily must go bezerk every year :O

Sarah

Yes! From Jane’s POV

Sarah

Jane trying on her wedding dress should be at the top of our list.

ann.nonymous

I’m hoping to see more of the aftermath (Core 8 or the Cobalt’s) reaction to Charlie’s actions in CLU, like after he walked through poison ivy and after he was robbed at the fair

Krista & Becca Ritchie

Ah thank you SO MUCH for not only reading all of the books but for joining Patreon and the support here, Tracy! We hope you enjoy all the extra content 💖 If you're ever having trouble navigating the content, we highly suggest the chronological guide which shows the bonus scenes in order of the actual books: https://www.patreon.com/posts/39292323 We haven't written Charlie's POV yet, so we don't have any bonuses with him. The only character whose POV we've written who doesn't have a novel is Kinney (aka "The Kinney Hale Diaries") 💖

Krista & Becca Ritchie

Ah that reminds me that we had initial planned to do the Charity Golf tournament from so many other POVs (and we'd outlined them too!) but we ran out of time the month we were doing them for Kitsulletti. I hope we can go back to them soon and finish them out! ~ B

Krista & Becca Ritchie

Didn't know anyone would want the S9 scene from Maximoff & Farrow's POV! Good to know!!

Krista & Becca Ritchie

Oh the biggest soccer fans are definitely Oscar's mom and sister! Oscar mentions this in CLU. So they'd be sooo hyped about Brazil advancing, and they'd be glued to the World Cup right now! We could see all three (Oscar, Jo, Quinn) being so excited. And since Jack likes soccer too, he'd *likely* be more into it than Oscar, and Jo would be so happy about that!

Krista & Becca Ritchie

OHHH!! Yes, more Jack one-on-one interviews with Charlie during this time! That would be such a great addition!

Krista & Becca Ritchie

We've definitely hope to revisit the Carnival Fundraiser outside of just the Fun House drama *GRINS*

Krista & Becca Ritchie

Aw thank you so much for loving her!! We hope to add tons more with Jane, especially as her wedding approaches 😉

Krista & Becca Ritchie

That convo between Maximoff & Charlie is very, very likely to be in PLU! We're super excited about finally writing it 💗

Krista & Becca Ritchie

YES!! We totally planned to write more POVs from this charity event, and now that we have Luna's POV it feels like it *needs* to happen!

Krista & Becca Ritchie

Loveee those! It's been really fun exploring Thatcher/Jane and Cobalt Empire stuff during this timeline ☺️

Haley Secen

Let's be completely honest, I'd take a retelling of each book from all the other characters POVs, I'm desperate to constantly be in their heads

Krista & Becca Ritchie

Aw love that you enjoy the domestic moments! Those are some of our favs to write. 1. We honestly can't remember if we had planned the "Cinderella ad" at this time of Damaged Like Us since it's been several years since we wrote those, so it might've been an awesome coincidence or it could've been our plan (we wish we could remember for sure). But we do know that describing Jane that way is a hark back to the epilogue in LWD and how Ryke describes Jane. He says she descends the stairs like she's in a royal castle (paraphrasing here), but that is a description we thought of and think of when she's on the stairs, so there is a small connection there. 2. We want to answer this, but just in case we include flashbacks at some point in Luna & Donnelly's books (Unlucky/Nobody), we're going to hold off 💗

Krista & Becca Ritchie

Ahh thank you for loving their friendship! They're so much fun to write and to explore!

Krista & Becca Ritchie

He's likely seen most of the cartoons, but sometimes we like to imagine that Maximoff had a small "Wolverine" phase where he just really loves Wolverine the most when he was younger. (Also, it's likely he was in the middle of watching that series, and so it'd make sense that they'd play it since he's been consistently watching it recently.)

kelsey

thanks for answering!! can’t wait to see what bonus scenes you decide on for the clu timeline 🫶🏼

Yasti

I’d love to see more of Jack’s family! :) Or more of Jack and Jo, since it seems like they get along so well from what we’ve seen in CLU and MLU 😇

Illyana

Ahhh omg I love that he had a Wolverine phase! It's canon confirmed now! What would we say is Moffy's now fav mutant? x

Vicki

I would love to see more of Oscar & Jack's post-elopement engagement party

Vicki

I would also love to see Jack telling Farrow about his plan to propose to Oscar ❤

terra

Currently rereading Fuel the Fire & sometimes I forget that this didn’t come out this year. When LGBTQ+ is so widely accepted! I read it for the first a year ago and even then i was like what’s the big deal that he’s slept with men! now that i realized why it is such a big deal it hit me so much harder and broke my heart all over again! I love these characters so much and it makes me so sad to know that’s the world we lived in! Thank god we are in a world now where we are free to be who we are!

Michelle

I’d like to see the surrogacy decision and process from both POVs.

Sioned

I’m dying for you guys to write the scene when charlie gives moffy the ceo position!! 🤞🏼🤞🏼🤞🏼 you both write it!
