Chapter Text
Unlike Norman and Ray with their normal boring day jobs, (oh hey look at that Noman and normal rhyme-) Emma was an artist, she was creative, she produced works of the highest form. She had a gift with words and people.
So basically she was a writer and a youtuber. Her books were pretty successful, and on top of that, her fanbase gave her enough support on patreon that she was in no way short of money.
But one day, after she decided to write a novel as a joke, where the writing was just as good as her other books because she was dramatic like that, she accidentally sent the file to her editor/manager and their conversation went something like this.
Gilgil: Emma you wrote this??
EMmmm: yeah?
Gilgil: This is great stuff!! I quickly have it edited and send back to the publishing house.
Gilgil: Don’s going to love this.
EMmmm: okie im gna go sleep its been three days and im running on coffee and plot
Gilgil: I sent it to the board. Don read it. He loves it.
EMmmm: wAIT GILDA NO I SENT YOU THE WRONG ONE I WROTE THIS AS A JOKE FOR NORMAN’S BIRTHDAY.
Gilgil: The Promised Neverland?
EMmmm: yeah cos me and ray were having this conversation about our stereotypical roles in a novel
EMmmm: ray would be that one emo nerd in the corner
EMmmm: and norman would be the charismatic character that everyone loves
EMmmm: they said i would be the super cheery main character, but smarter than the typical super cheery main character
Gilgil: Don’t die on me now but the board loves it.
EMmmm: wHAT
EMmmm: you’re kidding me the last book i wrote had talking cats and they decide they like this one more
EMmmm: wait no but are they actually thinking of publishing it
Gilgil: They are.
EMmmm: no.
EMmmm: nOOOOOOO IA MDE RAYS MOM THE BD GUY SHES GNA HATE ME
Gilgil: Wow. That’s the fastest I’ve seen a board meeting go.
EMmmm: did they shoot it down…?
Gilgil: Keep dreaming. They decided to get it published. In a week 200,000 copies will be up for sale.
EMmmm: !!
EMmmm: im going to die
EMmmm: aunt isabella wont bake me cookies anymore
EMmmm: you dont understand how serious this is i cant live without her cookies
EMmmm: shes going to ahte meeeeeeee
Gilgil: Or just tell her that it's another Isabella
EMmmm: but in the novel the only one whos her biological son is ray
EMmmm: im screweddddddd
EMmmm: no more cookiessssssssss
After the accidental sending of her joke writing to Gilda and the inevitable crash from her caffeinated high, she woke up to shit like this. Why did she do this to herself. She dug her own grave.

Her phone lit up again and expecting something from Gilda, an update on the situation with the board maybe? Or news that by some miracle they decided her work was trash at the last minute.
NEVERLAND
Emo child: em i just read the novel
Emo child: why did you have to make it so fucking gay
Emo child: @WilliamMinerva. pls control your child
WilliamMinerva: Ray how could you.
WilliamMinerva: I thought she was our child.
WilliamMinerva: I want a divorce. :<

WilliamMinerva: XD
EMmmm: dont XD me you were part of this too
WilliamMinerva: Precisely.
WilliamMinerva: I still need to complain to you about the novel.
WilliamMinerva: You know there’s literally no suspense in making me William Minerva because all three of us know that’s me right?
WilliamMinerva: And why is it that I’m always alone.
WilliamMinerva: First when we left the orphanage we split.
WilliamMinerva: Then after we met up we split again and you guys went to the seven walls.
EMmmm: its alright norman we love you
EMmmm: ray definitely does
WilliamMinerva: Are you saying.
WilliamMinerva: As the author of the promised neverland.
WilliamMinerva: That Norray is canon.
EMmmm: read the sequel and find out
WilliamMinerva: Where’s the sequel?
EMmmm: So you are interested >:D
There was a moment of silence where the texts stop. Is Norman actually embarrassed? Emma couldn’t help but laugh to herself at the thought of it.
EMmmm: the sequel is here with me
EMmmm: im writing it
WilliamMinerva: Ray is right you know.
WilliamMinerva: It actually is ‘so fucking gay’
WilliamMinerva: I mean we both know that Ray’s a prude.
Emo child: hey
EMmmm: RAY I SWEAR TO GOD IF YOU ACTUALLY TOLD ON ME
WilliamMinerva: But even by my completely absolutely objective standards it’s still pretty gay.
Emo child: SEE
Emo child: h e agrees with me
Emo child: he**
WilliamMinerva: Not as much ‘agreeing with you’ as it is ‘objectively gay’
EMmmm: hA
EMmmm: see objectively gay
EMmmm: you guys have a pretty objectively gay friendship
WilliamMinerva: Aunt Isabella’s asking me about how our sleepover went.
Emo child: by all means, i haven’t spilled the beans
Emo child: im giving you the honour
EMmmm: nO
EMmmm: dONT DO IT
EMmmm: norman im sorryyyyyyyyyyyyy QAQ
Emo child: why does he get an im sorry but i get threatened with a friendship break up
Emo child: @WilliamMinerva i accept the divorce if you take the child
WilliamMinerva: Deal.
WilliamMinerva: We can settle the paperwork later
WilliamMinerva: I have a client coming in 5 minutes so I need to go.
WilliamMinerva: Bye!
EMmmm: @Emo child say ‘bye darling’
Emo child: @EMmmm say ‘bye cookies’
EMmmm: fuck
Emo child: mmm
Emo child: checkmate
Emo child: .
Emma got off her phone giggling to herself like a fangirl in the middle of a particularly cute scene. If the book actually got out, Ray and Norman were going to have to worry about more than just her.
She was sure the world would see the gay in this ship too.
