Author: Beatrice_Otter
Fandom: Rivers of London
Characters: Abigail Kamara, Nicky, Brent
Wordcount: 9,157 words
Rating: General audiences
Written For: opalmatrix in Worldbuilding 2023
AN: This story takes place in spring of 2014, a bit under a year after "What Abigail Did That Summer" and a few months before "The Furthest Station." Abigail is 14, Nicky and Brent are about 8.
The Golden Chip of Hanwell does indeed exist, but the Fisher family are fictional.
Birdylion was a great help with canon details
Lavender_threads went above and beyond the call of duty as a beta and helped me brainstorm things that really brought it all together. Thank you both.
At AO3. On tumblr. On Pillowfort.
Abigail stared at Peter. "So, what you're saying is, you want me to babysit your girlfriend's baby sisters."
It wasn't an offer she got often. She wasn't exactly the girl the mums round the estate thought of when they were trying to find someone to watch their kids. At least, not the ones who only knew her by reputation. And the ones who knew her family, who knew how much help she was with Paul, they didn't want to bother her. Or hire her on a night her mum might need her, which was just about any night.
"Not babysitting," Peter protested. "Bev'll be around, and available if anything happens."
"Then what does she need me for?" Abigail asked.
Peter sighed. "It's hard socializing goddesses, okay. They can glamour almost anyone they want outside their family. And if they're ever going to have friends—instead of minions—they need to know how to get along with ordinary people without putting the whammy on them."
