Fallback properties when using ContentApi

I want a number of properties to have fallbacks to other properties- such that when they are unset, a different value is returned

pretty sure I used to be able to achieve this like so

public virtual string TeaserText
  {
    get
    {
      var teaserText = this.GetPropertyValue(x => x.TeaserText);
      return string.IsNullOrWhiteSpace(teaserText) ? this.SeoDescription : teaserText;
    }

    set
    {
      this.SetPropertyValue(x => x.TeaserTitle, value);
    }
  }

however when I am calling a page with no explicit TeaserTitle set from the api, it seems to not even run the property code at all, and instead omits the property completely from the response.

feel like I am missing something.. is there anyway to deal with fallback properties reliably for V12 content api

The Content Delivery API doesn't resolve the content models, default values should always be written to the database and not being resolved runtime.
