I thought I would give you fair warning, all chapters will be extremely long as each one is based off of and around every individual episode. As this is an American Horror Story fanfiction, the trigger warnings should be a given, as well as some sexual content. <3 Not sure how far I'll go with any of this, but I have a plan for the series in general. Sort of. I can think of two seasons where I may have to do two different stories for the two characters in each that I love with unbridled passion. Anyway, I really do hope you enjoy this. I will be updating as often as possible, and probably at some random times during the day and/or night. I hope this story catches your interest, and hopefully you will stick around to read the rest and find out what I may (or may not) have planned. Much love from me to you, enjoy.

Rosaline Harmon was different from her family in the sense that she didn't pay attention to what was going on around her in the same ways everyone else did. She was more attuned to the stranger side of things, which led her overprotective father, who had always seemed to have a strange fascination with "protecting" her, to putting her on several medications that kept her already spaced out mind from ever coming close to orbiting around earth again. She was lost in different galaxies with the handful of medications her father practically forced down her throat.

Vivien was, of course, disgusted with the way he treated their youngest child, and after the miscarriage not too long ago, and the adultery situation with Ben and one his students, Vivien was ready to explode with the disgust she held for her husband. However, in order to try to hold together their family, at which point they were really grasping at straws, they uprooted their household and moved across the country to sunny California.

Now that they were standing in front of the main house they were here to look at, Vivien decided it was time to pull her husband to the side before they went to meet the realtor.

"Ben, can I just, talk to you for a moment?" Vivien asked, motioning off to the side with her head while glancing towards their two children. Violet was leaning against the car with her arms crossed, staring up at the house with a slight scowl. Rosaline, however, was already standing in the middle of the front yard, staring up and into one of the windows, smiling and waving. It was when she did things like this that Ben had to clench his teeth and worry that something else might have to be prescribed for his special girl.

"Of course Viv, whatever you want," He responded, honestly just surprised and relieved that his wife was initiating a conversation between the two of them. Although, he suspected he wasn't going to particularly enjoy the topic of conversation as he took note of the way his wife's eyes lingered for a moment on their precious little redhead.

And so, the two adults stepped off to the side, a little ways away from their children, and looked at each other, neither saying a word until Vivien took a deep breath and began.

"I want a new start here. That's what this whole move has been about, and if we buy this house, then I want it to be different for our children to. So, I want you to stop treating Rosaline as if she's your patient. Stop with the medications and the psych evaluations and all of it." Her arms were crossed over her chest as Vivien looked into her husband's eyes, not able to maintain eye contact for more than a few seconds, but hoping her expression was serious enough to put a stop to his madness.

Ben sighed and gave a slight shake of his head, clenching his jaw once more, knowing that some sacrifices would have to be made if he wanted to keep his family together after his royal fuck up. Casting a glance over in the direction of his medicated daughter, who was practically glowing in the sunlight as she smiled up at the upper windows of the house.

"Fine," Ben relented, looking back at his wife. "I'll start the process of weaning her off of the medications once we get settled in somewhere, okay? I just, I want this to be a new start for us. For all of us, Viv. You know that I love you and the kids." He said, reaching out and gently stroking up and down his wife's arms, tilting his head down a bit in an attempt to look into Vivien's eyes. In response, his wife tensed up and looked at him, giving him a tight smile before turning and walking up the steps to the small porch to stand in front of the front door.
