Do you remember this moment about Eve's name? I want to write a one-shot about this and I have questions.
I want to write about the moment the Librarians discover it, and I would like to know your opinion.
I think it means Belladonna or Bella. Or maybe something more tiny-silly like Bonnie or Bibi and that's why she doesn't like it.
I loved their clothes in this episode so I'm drawing them. I also made a more detailed shot of Cassandra's makeup, I thought it was nice.
So... I hope you like it, and I didn't know more fans of this show before.
(T.3 E.5 and the tears of a clown)
Wow, I actually forgot I was writing this AU. So uh, here you go. Here’s the next part.
Jacob stared down at the clippings book, completely mystified. “So, this book tells you everything-”
“No, you wanker, it tells me about wrong goings in the world,” Ezekiel cut off Jacob. “Or, one wrong going powerful enough that it needs me, the librarian.”
“And me?” Jacob asked, following Ezekiel as he moved through the annex.
“And you. Guardians follow the Librarians and keep them out of trouble,” Ezekiel told him, grabbing a hoodie and putting it on over his button up shirt and throwing the previously worn lab coat aside.
Jacob nodded. Right, keep him out of trouble. How much trouble can a twenty-five year old get into?
It turns out that he can get into a lot of trouble. Ezekiel is a sneaky bastard and likes to disappear at a moments notice.
“Jones, you better show yourself right now! This is not a game,” Jacob shouted, spinning a bit to look for the librarian in the trees.
He spun around, hands flying up to guard his face hearing a twig snap behind him. His eyes narrowed. He was ready to fight. He was relieved seeing it was Ezekiel.
“Don’t do that, Jones,” Jacob growled. “Don’t do that to me. I’m pretty sure Charlene would’ve killed me if I had lost you or you had gotten killed, so please, Ezekiel, don’t do that again.”
Ezekiel looked upset for a moment, but shook it off. “I found where the artifact is, Stone.”
“Good. Let’s go. Don’t disappear on me this time, yeah?” Jacob suggested.
Ezekiel nodded and broke off in a spring in the direction he must’ve come in. Jacob hurried after him, grumbling to himself.
Jacob grumbled to himself as he sat on a stool in the annex, nose bloody, shoulder dislocated and ankle sprained; all because Ezekiel decided to disappear again
Ezekiel handed him some bandages and an ice pack. He looked upset and very apologetic. He pressed a tissue he’d been hiding somewhere into his nose.
“I-”
“No,” Jacob growled. “It’s my turn to speak.”
Jacob paused for a moment to see if Ezekiel was listening. He was.
“I told you no more disappearing acts. If this is going to work, you’re going to need to listen to me too, ‘Zeke. Okay? You can’t just disappear on me like that.”
Ezekiel failed to make eye contact with Jacob, busying himself with putting the ice pack on Jacob’s ankle. It was swelling a bit, but he’d be able to walk on it no problem.
“Look at me man. It’s not you-”
Jacob was cut off by lips pressing against his own. His eyes were wide before they shut for a moment.
“I was scared,” Ezekiel said. “I was falling and I wasn’t sure if anyone was going to be there to catch me.”
Jacob smiled, a slight shade of pink on his cheeks. “I’ll always be here to catch you.”
Jacob kissed him again, this time a little passionately.

Songs:
A million dreams: As kidsFlynn talks to Eve about all the dreams he has about their future. He shows her an abandoned house and they play around in it. Flash forward, Flynn comes to admit his love to her and she's done with finishing school. They get a home together in the city. He continues to talk to her about the future they'll have.
In between that and come alive, he looses his job, buys a museum and ends up turning it into a house of curiosities.
Come Alive: He's encouraging these people to be proud of their oddities. Charles Stratton is the first, followed by Cassandra, the bearded lady and the Lord of Leeds. Then that night during the show, there are a couple more acts. The trapeze artists, Ezekiel and a close friend Alec Hardison (this is foreshadowing for a oneshot I'm gonna write) soar through the air.
The other side: Flynn meets Jacob Stone, a rich man who writes plays and has his fathers inheritance. He offers him a drink and Jacob doesn't refuse. Flynn offers him a job, "take the key and see the other side." Jacob turns him down. "I'm okay with the uptown part I get to play. I don't need to see the other side." Flynn watches him go and stands to follow. "Is this how you spend your days, whiskey, misery, a lifetime of plays? No joy or laughter? I guess I'll lab it up to you~" Jacob joins him on the other side.
In between other side and never enough. He goes with Flynn to the circus and they end up in a boothe and comes fave of face wit a gorgeous, exotic man has he is flying on the trapeze. "Who is he?" "That's Ezekiel Jones, one of many trapeze artists. Though he is the best."
Still dumbstruck, he follows Flynn down the stairs and comes face to face with Ezekiel again. "Ezekiel, Alec, meet Jacob Stone. Hell be joining us from now on."
Ezekiel steps towards him, but Alec is staring him down. "What's your act, Mr. Stone?" His accent has Jacob even more dazed.
"I uh... Don't have an act." "Everyone's got an act."
Jacob manages to get the entire troupe to London to meet the queen. He still has connections even though he lost all his inheritance.
They met Nicole Noone and Flynn is awestruck by her. And maybe she can sing.
Never Enough- Nicole sings her opera about nothing being enough for her. Jacob stands with the troupe because he's come to respect them. During the part where she days take my hand. Share this moment with me, Jacob take Ezekiel's hand but drops it when people look back at them. Ezekiel walks away. (FYI they're back in America)
Before This is Me, Flynn I'd introducing Nicole to Eve. Then he brags to Eve's old family about being successful like her dad said he wouldn't. Then he leaves the troupe in the back hallways.
This is Me- Cassandra lifts everyone's spirits. They go into the room anyways. Then they go past the protesters outside the circus. The whole group going "I'm not scared to be seen, I make no apologies. This is me" At the protestors. Then it's showtime. They're singing. Ezekiel makes eye contact with Jacob in one of the rooms above the seats. "I make no apologies. This is me" And that's stomped into the ground.
Before rewrite the stars, Jacob goes to meet Ezekiel at the playhouse. Ezekiel us trying to refuse the two tickets. Jacob shows up. "I wasn't sure you'd show up if I had asked." They go in and are walking up the stairs, arm in arm. "Jacob?" It's his dad. He insults Ezekiel and caused him to run off. Jacob tells off his dad before going after Ezekiel.
"Who cares what they think?"
"You don't get it." Ezekiel looks ready to cry. "You've never been looked at they way your dad looked at me."
Rewrite the stars: Jacob talks about rewriting the stars. Ezekiel and him are meant to be. "You're my destiny." He's trying to keep Ezekiel down at his level as they talk, but he keeps going up into the air in the trapeze. Ezekiel talks about how it's not easy. How they can't be together. "No one can rewrite the stars." They both begin to do the trapeze together, but at the end, they're nearing a kiss and Ezekiel pulls away. "You know I want you, but we're bound to break and my hands are tied. "
Before tightrope: Jacob is trying to talk sense into Flynn about staying and not going on tour with Nicole. He's not listening. He never listens. Flynn is staying goodbye before climbing into a carriage with Nicole to go on tour.
Tightrope- Eve sings about everything she's ever done, she's done it to be with Flynn. "Life's an adventure with a breath taking view. Walking a tightrope with you."
Before from now on, Flynn almost kisses Nicole, then he does and reporters catch pictures of it. There's a fire when Flynn gets back. Jacob is helping the troupe out, but realizes Ezekiel isn't with them and runs back into the burning building. Ezekiel comes back out another way. Everyone is frozen in place. Flynn goes running into the building and Eve screams for him to come back. The building collapses. Then, Flynn emerges from the fire, dragging Jacob with him. He's badly burnt and wheezing.
Ezekiel sits with him in the hospital.
Eve finds out about the kiss and their marriage is ruined.
From now on: The troupe finds Flynn in a bar. "If you've come to get paid, it won't happen." "Mr Carson," Cassandra says. "You've brought happiness into our lives... What more could we want?"
They sing about how they'll be a family from now on. Flynn goes to make things right with Eve.
Before the greatest show, Jacob wakes up and Ezekiel finally kisses him. "You're here."
Flynn makes up with Eve. It was hard for her, but she truly loved him.
Flynn comes back from the bank. They won't loan him anymore. Jacob laughs. "You being who you are, I asked for my pay weekly. I put it aside."
"I can't take your money, Jacob." Flynn now tries to be humble. Ezekiel sees through it.
"Why now are you being humble, Mr. Carson?"
They talk about it, but they won't be able to get another building.
"I can get us some land by the docks. All we need is a tent."
They greatest show: They sing about how it's the greatest show. First it'd Flynn as the ringmaster, but half way through, he turns it over to Jacob. He runs into the ring. "This is the greatest show!"
Flynn runs home to be with Eve.
That's it. That's my au.

Ezekiel remembered the day he became the librarian. He was maybe, fourteen or fifteen. He remembered the day he was assigned his first guardian. Eve was kind-hearted and practically his mum.
He also remembered the day she died. Stabbed by Dulaque as they tried to mend the Loom of time. He remembered mourning for days.
Ezekiel sat at a desk in the Library, when a man with a plaid shirt came strolling in with a white envelope and Charlene in tow. She seemed flustered with this man. Ezekiel stood, grumbling.
Already he had a new guardian? Wasn’t he allowed some time to mourn his old one?
“It seems you have a new guardian,” Charlene said, sounding unnamused.
“We just lost Eve,” Ezekiel shouted, yelling up to the ceiling. “You couldn’t wait?”
“What’s he doing?” the man asked, turning to Charlene.
“Talking to the Library,” she answered.
“Why?” he asked.
“Because I’m upset I’m stuck with you until one of us dies. Most likely me, but I went ten years with my former Guardian. It’ll probably be you before me.” Ezekiel says. “What kind of training have you had?”
“Training?” the guy asked, southern accent coming through in his speech.
“Like fighting training. Have you had any?” Ezekiel was becoming annoyed. Not to mention he wasn’t a fan of the accent, either.
“Uh... i mean, I get into bar brawls a lot. But I always come up on top.”
Ezekiel rolled his eyes. “Right, well, I’ve got work to do.”
“I’m Jacob, by the way,” the man said, ignoring Ezekiel’s last statement.
Ezekiel stared at him for a moment before grabbing his books and scampering off to his office.
Jacob sighed and looked at Charlene. “Get use to the layout of the place. He’ll come find you for a mission. or if he wants to talk.”
Jacob nodded and looked around as he wandered off to get use to the place that would be his new home. He was glad to be out of Oklahoma. away from his dad.
Ezekiel found Jacob studying in the Annex. Jenkins seemed to enjoy the company, though it was silent. The southerner seemed to be enjoying the book.
“What are you reading?” Ezekiel asked, sitting down across from Jacob. What was the harm in getting to know his new Guardian.
“Stephen Hawking’s last work,” Jacob said, looking up at the Librarian. “‘Soft Hair on Black Holes.”
Ezekiel stared at him, eyebrows raised. “Uh...”
“You haven’t read it?” Jacob asked, sounding astounded.
“Well, I haven’t had the time to. I’m always off finding some artifact, or trying to save the world. I really don’t have time for reading,” Ezekiel shrugged.
“Well, when you do get the chance to read it, it’s a great read and I think you’d enjoy it.”
“I’m probably too dumb to understand it,” Ezekiel said, shrugging a bit.
“You’re the librarian,” Jacob said, smiling and looking up at him in the eyes. “Give yourself some credit.”
Ezekiel’s cheeks heat up slightly. “Well, I’m not a strong reader. Dyslexia.”
“Well, I can help you.”
The clippings book freaked out besides them.
“Duty calls,” Ezekiel said, standing. “Maybe later.”
