Who can’t be beat?

Summary:

Olaf is about to face a Comprehensive Exam, blissfully unaware of the course weighting.

Notes:

(See the end of the work for notes.)

Work Text:

Olaf watches Snicket push towards the stage. He’s waving a copy of the Prufrock Preparatory School Handbook and shouting, but the only words Olaf can hear over the incessant chanting (“Who can’t be beat? A dead horse!”) are ‘miscalculated’ and ‘sorry’.

Olaf watches Snicket—peaky after helping Olaf study (confusingly, Olaf didn’t think Snicket particularly liked him)—as he decodes Verse Fluctuation Declarations and rattles off factoids for Vernacularly Fastened Doors.

Olaf was watching Snicket clutch his handbook, so he’s waiting for the other shoe to drop, but it’s a cold comfort.

Physical Education Exam?

Why did Olaf even bother?

Notes:

I wrote Netflix!fic! Mostly, the show has inspired me to go back to the books, but an exception had to be made.

I was trying to strike a balance between the two of them in the drama club photo, and the way Lemony seems vaguely contemptuous of Olaf at the Opera.
