Random Knight: *Witnessed Merlin calling Arthur a prat* Sire, are you just going to just let him talk to you that way? ๐ค
Arthur: It's Merlin, what can you do. ๐คท๐ผ
Noble: *Upset with Merlin's presence during court and used his now absences to complain* As King you should have more sense then to let some farm boy advise you in such delicate matters of court! ๐ค
Arthur: It's Merlin. He who takes care of the castle servants, who is the apprentice physician that sees to the people downtown off duty and who is well acquainted with the merchants by name. That Merlin. ๐คจ
Noble: ...
Arthur: Any other questions? Good, let's see about lunch. Someone call Merlin back from town, he knows how I like my sandwiches made. ๐๐ฅช
Princess: *Trying to be seductive and pretty* I hear your looking for a Queen? ๐
Arthur: *Not interested and wishing to strangle a court elder* Apparently... ๐
Princess: I could be your Queen~ *Tries to touch his arms sensually*๐๐
Arthur: *Disgusted and Panics* ๐ฌ Sadly you don't meet my requirements.
Princess: Well, what are your requirements? I'm sure I can more then meet them~๐
Arthur: Black hair, large ears, calls me a prat and male.
Princess: *Flabbergasted*
Arthur: *runs*
Knight on the side: It's Merlin. Just so you know.
Gwaine: So is anyone gonna tell him or should I?
Leon: It's been over a Decade and sadly the King has yet to admit it.
Percival: It's just Merlin. The guy doesn't even hides how devoted he is to Arthur.
Leon: Unfortunate really. Arthur was never able to place a label on what he felt for Merlin. Anything that boy does is instantly just categorised as "Merlin".
Gwaine: He gets his own category? Where do we go under.
Leon: "Merlin's Knights" apparently. He said as much while drunk and wistfully talked about retiring into the countryside and buy a farm where he and Merlin can own a cow and some chickens. He especially wanted the chickens.
Gwaine: *Laughs*
Percival: Damn, he's got it bad. And I can't even deny it. We basically did come together thanks to Merlin. But why chickens?
Leon: Said it was a engagement present for Merlin.
Percival: ...
Gwaine: ... Called it.
Knight: *Sees magic near Merlin* Sorcerer! *Arrests him and goes to the King*
Arthur: What is this?
Knight: Sire! I witnessed this servant doing Sorcery! *Points to Merlin*
Arthur: It's Merlin.
Knight: Yes Sire. He was doing magic.
Merlin: Arthur I can explain-
Arthur: *Raises his hand up to pause his words* You sure of this?
Knight: *Says smugly* Yes Sire!
Arthur: Right then. *Proceeds to go to his desk and picks up something before signing them with his seal*
Arthur: Hand this to Geoffrey, from henceforth the Magic Ban has been lifted.
Knight: WHAT!? ๐ฑ
Merlin: WHAT!? ๐คฏ
Knight: B-but- my King?! WHY!?
Arthur: *Casually shrugs* It's Merlin.
Since we all agree that people of the Alley of Crime adore Red Hood and believe in him, I think it is time to imagine Jason in a scene similar to the one from OG Spiderman, where his identity is accidentally outted in front of crowd of people, and they all are just choose to protect him and help him out.
So maybe Gotham is facing especially nasty trouble, and vigilantes are on the receiving end this time. So maybe Jason is thrown at the dirty Alley in his part of town, wounded, with helmet flying off, and there is just a crowd of people staring as bleeds out, astonished. And Jason thinks, oh, that's the end โ he can go and shoot himself, honestly, because he just failed the man rule every vigilante have: never show your face, never reveal your identity.
But people are... helping him? His eyes are half-open, breath laboured and pained, but all he hears is gentle murmuring:
'God, he is just a kid...'
'He must be younger than my son.'
'Poor child...'
He feels soft elderly hand against his cheek as someone from the crowd, an ex nurse, comes closer to bandage his injuries, while a kid, barely with the size of his helmet, brings it back, sticking out their tongue as they try to place it back on his head, to hide his face.
'It is okay,' the old woman reassures him. 'You are safe with us, son. We hadn't seen anything.'
Jason's eyes sting, because, oh.
It is his people. He loves them. He will die for them.
And they love him just as much.
He still waits for someone to out him, though. But the week ends, the villain is out of the picture, and no one says a thing. The only proof that it ever happened is civilians, who keep waving at Jason โ not Red Hood, just Jason โ when their paths cross somewhere in the shops or streets.
And that's how he knows that it is them; it is them, and they keep him safe as much as he keeps safe them.
I need you to understand that when I say "comments are appreciated!" I mean that I will reply to every one of them. I mean that an email with an ao3 notification has a higher priority than a message from my mother. I mean that I will have entire discussions in the comment section if you're up for it. Message me on tumblr and I will have the same discussions on an even more unhinged level. I will dissect entire personalities and ships and fictional political structures and worldbuilding with you. I will become your new best friend. You already ARE my new best friend. At the last battle, I would raise Anduril and say "For my ao3 readers" while a single tears rolls down my cheek, and dive into the fray. I would upload from beyond the grave if someone asked about the next chapter
The Children of Lord Hayden were like night and day
I need this in my life
Danny big brother to damian
Danal is a prodigy, he can adapt to any situation, follow muscle movements with ease. He has a laid back, sassy and cheerful personality, and is the nicest person in the league, but you piss him off may god have mercy.
When damian was born Danal fell in love with him and became more of a caretaker than talia when it came to damian.
Whenever damian had trouble with a movement Danal patiently helped him, when he hit his 'why' phase as a child Danal was the only one who could be around him. He was the only one who could get damian to smile, damian adored Danal and wanted to be like him. Strong and deadly but that didnt stop him from being kind and helpful.
Ra saw that while yes Danal and him butt heads more often than not, he was far more perfect as an hair than damian and decided to use that.
He planned to execute damian in front of danny to break him. What he didnt expect was for Danal to interfear and take the killing blow for him.
Damian had to watch his big brother, the person who tought him what love is, cared for him, gave him the best training, and now Danal gave his life for his. Danal told him in his last words how much he was proud of him. How damian is stronger than he thinks and how loving him was worth it even if it got him killed.
Damian believes a peice of him died with Danal that day.
No one checked if danal was alive after the final blow, but if they did they wound see there was a little bit of life left on him, so when talia took Danals body to the Lazarus pit it did something else.
DAMIAN:
After Danals death damin became the most aggressive person in the league, attacking anyone who came to close or bad mouthed Danal
He has a box in his room with things Danal owned/ made together / gift from him
When Bruce took damian and introduced him as brothers to the rest of the batfam he lost it, started yelling saying that their not his brothers
Damian resents talia for not helping Danal or at least not stopping him
Damian hates Ra more than anything
After damian warmed up to the batfam he refused to call them brother, he called them family but not brother
Damian refuses to tell bruce that he had another son, as a form of punishment for not being there for him
Damian has a map of the stars because Danal loved space
Damian tries to incorporate Danals fighting style into his, but since he didnt learn much he failed alot of the time, whenever anyone asked about it they were met with a knife
Damian agreed with bruce on how to love and is more familiar with love, and it confuses everyone where he learned to love
Damian is fearsomely protective of anything to to with Danal
There are 2 days of the year that people leave damian alone no matter what Danals birthday and his death anniversary
Danal showed damiam pictures of different animals as a kid and thats why he loves them
After a few years damian learns to some-what accepts danals death
Damian refused to blam himself for danals death even if he believes it to be true, danal wouldnt want that
Danals last words ring in his ear " loving you is worth eveything little brother, even my life, I'll never stop loving you
DANAL /DANNY
Danal woke in the ghost Zone after talia put him in the Lazarus pit with no memory of before, but subsequent knowledge of everything before; knew how to fight/cook/write/read/ be assasin/ what the Lazarus pit is but dosent know how he knowes this or have any memories
Danny wanders around encouraging ghosts till he finds the perfect place for his lair and builds it
He finds the fenton portal and decides to go through it
He discovered his obssession was protecting people he cared about
He traveled between the ghost zome and human relm with a lot more subtlety than the other ghosts
During his years as amity park protector he discovered new powers, he can change into a human form, ice powers, duplicates, something similar to clockworks ability to see everything, ghostly wail and how to control it, how to make portals throught the infinite realms and alot more
He always felt like something was missing and after protecting amity for a while he made a truse with the other ghosts and decided to traved the infinite realms
For reasons he cant explain he continues to train his physical body in the martial art style he knowes
He loves animals for reasons he cant say and loves to play with them
He has more allies due to them knowing what his obssession is
I am both at the same time
