Duckvember Prompt 27 - Spiteful

Lucretia DeCoy taunts Heart and degrades her just as she's coming to terms with her feelings towards Duke. After being injured in battle, and then having a fight with Duke in the galley, Lucretia is enjoying watching as Heart withdraws and pulls no punches herself. Why would he want a human like her over one of his own kind, especially one like hee compared to Heart's scuffed up form?

Duckvember Day 5: Hypnotic Duck

So for Hypnotic Duck I guess I’m just going to explain a Mighty Ducks OC I really never used because she’s so branched off from the main stuff I used to write back in the day that I never got to her. 

Her name is Priscilla Decoy. Pretty much used Priscilla so she could be called Pris for short which is my fave Bladrunner character lolol. Her mom is Lucretia Decoy. Pris happened while she was in dimensional limbo. I have her being Lucretia’s second child. First being Maestro which is Lucretia’s kid with Canard.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                 

Her father is a Saurien named Ricochet. His personality I had vaguely as being like Shaggy from Scooby Doo but not a coward, if that makes any sense. I GUESS I COULD JUST SAY I HAD HIM BE A STONER I GUESS THAT’S WHAT I WAS GOING FOR. Also personality bit like Nosedive so if they ever met Nosedive could gloat to Duke that he was more Lucretia’s type. Ha. I had him being a tan/mustardy colored with his species being duck bill dinosaur based because I thought that would be funny for him to be duck adjacent. But I’ve also thought of him as that one bearded lizard gif, that being his build also works too. HE WAS NEVER FULLY FLESHED OUT so the species of lizard/dino he has was never set in stone ha. 

Priscilla is tan feathered and dark tan haired, matching more her dad’s coloring. Her bill is also not a bright orange but leaning towards the more tan color of her dad’s scales. She also has scales on the outer edge of her beak cheeks but it is really hard to notice since wearing her hair down covers it and it is a pretty fine line of scales. Her build is like her mom’s but you wouldn’t know it because she’s always wearing baggy hoodies and pants. She has a monotone voice like Daria (from Daria lol). She also has brown/amber eyes that match her father’s eye color. 

My headcanon for Limbo is that the majority of the area's physical reality is warped and not stable. There are pockets where it is like normal reality and over the centuries cities have been built there. You can breathe fine in the wide open ‘unreality areas’ but there is lack of gravity and floating areas of land. Even though you don’t technically need protective gear to be out there, it’s considered bad to stay out there for very long periods of time (like weeks.) It can cause madness and other weird stuff. 

With Maestro, Lucretia and Canard had not heard about how being out in the untamed areas of limbo is bad so when Mae was young he was exposed to it a lot. It didn’t affect Lucretia but later down the line Canard gets some madness from it. (Another long store.) Maestro on the other hand gets some reality bending powers that he has to learn to control when he gets older. His abilities are a really wide variety. Stuff like the gun from Portal and to be able to make illusions and disguises. 

Once Priscilla was born, Lucretia knew better and did a better job of not having her being exposed  to whatever the open area of the limbo nonsense was going on. However, as Priscilla became an adult it became evident she had some bit of a power herself. Not as obvious and powerful as her brothers, but she did it without her even knowing it. She figured out on many occasions people could not say no to her requests and she could, accidentally, have some mind control over them. OOPS. I don’t think she would even realize until she was fully an adult. As a child she was spoiled which didn’t seem unusual because hey you’re a cute kid stuck in limbo of course people are gonna spoil you. And as an adult she just thought people had crushes on her like, “okay, this is the kind of shit mom went through so this is normal.”  It isn’t till some town she’s in gets attacked, and she tells the attacker to go walk off a cliff, and he does it, that she realizes OH SHIT. WELP. This explains A LOT. 

She learns to control it for the most part, but what she does best to avoid it is try not to be perceived. Pris is by no means shy but she just RATHER NOT BE NOTICED IN A CROWD. 

Uh, that's about it about Pris. Only duck I have close to hyponic. Ha. 

This sketch was so good I didn’t want to ruin it by coloring it so I had to draw again just to color and yet didn’t come out the same because that is how life is.

Mighty Ducks the Animated Series Headcanons

GOOD GUYS

Wildwing: Bi, Aromatic. Type, Canard & Tanya. His heart belongs to his childhood best friend Canard, but I think Tanya could’ve made him happy too, if you want to go that route.

Canard: Gay. Type, Wildwing. It’s always been Wildwing. He thinks he’s being subtle but everyone can see it, except Wildwing of course.🙄😑🤷🏻‍♀️

Nosedive: Straight, but open minded if the right guy came along. Type, he thinks it’s “gorgeous and sexy” (typical teenage boy), but it’s really “fun and quirky”. So basically thinks it’s Lucretia when it’s actually Tanya lol. For guys, someone caring and wise like Duke or Grin, but they’re too old for him, so they’re just friends.

Duke: Pan with a female preference. I blame Falcone for scaring him emotionally and making him hesitant to try men again. He is a little attracted to Wildwing but there’s the age difference and the whole he’s the leader thing, it’d be too much drama.

Tanya: Same scenario as Duke, Pan with a preference for males, because Lucretia messed with her head and heart so badly in the past. She keeps herself busy so she has an excuse not to try again.

Grin: Ace. Ace-est of the Ace. King of Aces. Ace-Zilla. Mountain of Ace. You get the idea.

Mallory: Straight as she shoots. I like to think she had a little crush on Canard back in the day but it was really just misinterpreted respect and admiration. She’s subconsciously attracted to “bad boys” (*cough*Duke*cough*).

Thrash: Pan, Asexual. In a polygamist relationship with his two roommates, one guy and one gal.

Mookie: Lesbian with a steady live-in girlfriend she’s been dating since Junior High. If they ever broke up, Mookie would ugly-cry.

Phil: Closet Gay. Not even the Ducks know. He dates but only when out of town and eventually all his relationships end sadly, because of his unwillingness to be open about them. He’s worried being outed will ruin his business aspersions (keep in mind, the show was set in mid to late nineties after all, things were even harder for the LGBTQA+ community back then, especially in California).

Captain Kleghorn: Straight, widower turned voluntary bachelor. He has lady friends he invites to important events and goes dancing with, but it’s very clearly a “just as friends” thing for lonely seniors.

BAD GUYS

Lucretia: Lesbian, but knows she’s extremely attractive to most people with an interest in females and uses it to her full advantage. Seduces for fun and/or profit. Curses herself for actually falling for Tanya, because that ship has not only sailed, it sank a LONG time ago.

Falcone: The term “Disaster Gay” looks like a tailored made suit on this fella. He’s still down to F, but Duke ain’t stupid. Not happening, nope!

Dragonus: Gay. I mean, come on! Tim Curry is his voice actor, that accent is too delicious to waste on Heterosexuality lol. Dragonus was extremely popular on his homeworld but his egotism and violent streak ruined all his relationships.

Wrath: Ace by choice. Tony Jay made him sound just so done with the universe in general lol! I headcannon that Wrath is so old, he’s seen and done everything and has better things to do with his time than date.

Chameleon: Pan. I tend to think all shapeshifters are Pan. I mean, when you literally can become ANYTHING… 🤷🏻‍♀️ I like to think he has a little crush on Siege, but the big bulldozer is too stupid to notice, and Chameleon is ok with that.

Siege: Straight, but he’s an idiot, so he’s got no game.😛

SHIPS

Wildwing/Canard. They’ve been in love since they were Ducklings, but both we’re afraid of ruining their friendship, so they dated other people. Eventually they got themselves in a row (get it? Because they’re Ducks? 🦆😜) and end up together. No one is surprised.🙄😑😅 Ship names preference is Team Captains, but I also like Leadership, always was a sucker for a good pun.😁👍🏼

Nosedive/Tanya: No one saw this coming, not even them, but it oddly works so well for them. Like an opposites attract kind of thing. Grin calls it “Karmic Convergence”, which makes protective big brother Wildwing very uncomfortable lol! 😅 Duke and Mallory are also protective of Tanya, whom Duke thinks of as a little sister and Mal as her best friend, so there’s a lot of “Shovel Talking” going on at first. Grin and Canard just try to stay out of it but privately approve of how the couple balance each other out. I’ve never heard a ship name for them, so I’m inventing VanderFlash, a combo of their family names, Vanderflock and Flashblade. It just sounds cool.🤷🏻‍♀️😅

Duke/Mallory: Blatant “Hostility is actually Mutual Reluctant Attraction” if I ever saw it. Practically canon. They, like Nosedive and Tanya, are opposites who attract, except Duke and Mal are chaotic lol! Again, I can’t recall any ship names. Please educate me if you know any really good ones💜😊😘

2 bad bitches from another dimension.

[artsy-hobbitses]

Pretty people with questionable motives is the theme of the day, and Human!Lucretia’s coming in with hard Elektra Vibes. Falcone took a lot more artistic liberty than usual because of his abject refusal to dress appropriately for a stealth heist in the original, which means I had to wrestle him into some proper fucking clothes.

That said, the stylistic choice may make some sense considering his prominent posh accent, the fact that he claims himself a professional but can’t identify fake jewels from the real thing (unlike Duke who knows his stuff), loses his temper picking a safe like it’s amateur hour and wearing a fucking cape of all things to a mission = Rich moron with no day job all about the aesthetic, stealing for the thrill of it. Get a hobby asshole.

For this Human!AU, they’re both former associates of Duke, with assassin Lucretia being a former paramour a little too blase about shanking people in the ribs for him to consider long-term commitments with (Duke has a personal code of honor about not accepting blood money, she don’t, arguments happen). Her Sai were weapons chosen specifically to deal with Duke’s fondness for swords and there happens to be a pretty sizable contract on his head (and his new goody-two shoes comrades, she knew you were too soft for your own good) so no hard feelings darling, it’s just business you know? She’ll remember the good times.

Meanwhile, Falcone is a wealthy playboy with no day job living out criminal fantasies and initially he and Duke were good friends owning to their fascination with blades and being gentlemen thieves together, but whereas Duke’s the kind of thief whose proceeds mostly go to clothing and feeding people he used to be like (He grew up like Nick Wilde basically, was told his whole life that he was a little thief and never wants another child to feel like they have to resort to crime to survive, even as he dresses it up self-servingly like the smug bastard that he is by saying that he’s just making sure to stamp out future criminal rivals holistically because he don’t need wannabes muscling in on his turf, aight?), Falcone likes to hoard the shinies, won’t see himself at the same level as everyone else and shows himself to be the kind of self-serving rich fuck Duke despises. Friendship turns into a rivalry with Falcone generally wanting to mount the head of this slippery little shit on his wall whenever one of his planned heists ends up in ‘GARY WAS HERE ASH IS A LOSER’ territory because Duke got the upper hand on him while Duke cannot resist taking verbal jabs at him whenever he’s within hearing distance that it’s almost a reflex at this point.

[mystical-salamander]

Lucretia Decoy

Based off of @chiefgargoyle redesign. Probably not how you imagined her to look like, but you said assassin and I went for it.

[grimtwin]

Oda is legendary, I agree with you with you. The authors you mentioned have so many works. Any suggestions for a newbie? Not sure where to start. Can you recommend good introductory stories for the Botan and Hiei coupling? Thank you grim.

Depends on if you want something long to read, or something short and sweet. 

Shorter stuff - https://www.fanfiction.net/s/13517459/1/Tell-Me                      - https://www.fanfiction.net/s/13388947/1/Shift                      - https://www.fanfiction.net/s/13232045/1/Take-It-Slow

Mysti has more of the one shots that’d be easier to get into for someone new to the ship. Just look through her profile really

For the longer stuff, try her Dating Game or Home. For Lucretia, her stuff tends to be longer, but they’re great reads, so try My Downfall, and Anything She Does, the stories that had me first reading her stuff, then Politics and Polonecks isn’t HB focused but it has them in it, and Dog in the Manger is great for their relationship as well.

[quackquackfeathermuckers]

1999 Headcanon: Wildwing x Tanya is an adorable ship but isn't it funny I had them adopt 13 old Maestro who is my OC that Canard and Lucretia kid from dimensional limbo. So isn't it funny they're raising Wing's best friend's and Tanya's enemy's son. Ha.

2019 Headcanon: Wildwing x Tanya is an adorable ship of both disaster bis now raising Maestro who is the son of each of their ex relationships, Canard and Lucretia accordingly just raising that son that is also a disaster bi hooking up with Duke's son I mean I know the options are limited but comon. But Tanya 'I didn't know she was a spy at the time' Vanderflock can't really judge. CAN SHE? Also Canard was a dick for wanting to leave Nosedive behind. Thank you for coming to my Ted Talk.

[shewhowantsmouseears]

TIM CURRY was Dragaunus the head of the villains and one of his subordinates was Wraith, who was voiced by TONY JAY, which is a pretty awesome combination. Lucretia Decoy was the oneshot femme fatale and the Chameleon was called Chameleon, LOL!

Sounds about right!

[digital-gargoyle]

Y'know, I really wish that every new character introduced in Mighty Ducks didn't automatically disappear in the next episode. We could've had interesting interactions with the larger cast but whatever :/

Anyway, Lucretia DeCoy here is a Blue Winged Teal with more of an assassin edge rather than just a traitor.

I always found her intriguing, and I thought it would be interesting to make her a neutral party that messed with both the Ducks and the Saurians

[emilylorange]

omg finally, done and in the bin

Duckvember Day 28 Brother Day 29 Glamorous Day 30 Curious

Duckvember Prompt 13 - Wrong

After being drawn quite close, Duke began to fear that somehow Heart would get hurt if they were together. This led to a pit of self doubt, and flirting with Lucretia Decoy. During these events, Duke and Heart would get into an argument as they began to realize what these feelings were more and more, Heart would get badly injured, and exhaust herself still trying to protect him. Even if he didn't want her, Heart didn't want Duke to get hurt.

After these events, when Heart is recovering in the infirmary, Duke is terrified that Heart won't want to see him again. Wishes he is prepared to honor.

However, it seems he was very wrong, and appears to be thankful that he is.

Duckvember Day 1: Dead Duck (Part 1)

lololol Part 2 coming SOON hopefully.

Okay this story has OCs that are the adult kids of Mighty Ducks the Animated Series. HERE IS A CHEAT SHEET SINCE NOT MANY READ MY STORIES BACK IN HIGHSCHOOL. (Only One Many Here Has. lol) This story is very

Luke-  Duke’s son that pretty much looks exactly like him but has both eyes. Super smart but does not apply himself because of gifted child burnout. @fluxchix is responsible for him.

Maestro - Son of Canard and Luceria Decoy that fell out of a portal one day, like you do. Super sweet guy even though he has seen some shit. Also he's deaf so I'm writing SIGNED instead of SAID a lot.

Tayshia - Tanya and Wildwing daughter that someone while having loving parents turned out to be kinda a jerk man. Wtf is up with that?

Karma - Grin’s son, I really don’t have  much to explain here. 

Mercedes - Nosedive’s daughter. Everything you find annoying about Nosedive but then doubled. 

Molissa - Duke's daughter and Luke's younger sister.

Castor and Blaster - Mallory’s twins.  Funny story I can’t remember these two’s real names. These were their nicknames. I actually rarely ever wrote them so LOLOLOL. 

Rex - Dragaunus’ son that is good and working with the ducks because he’s the bad bitch Mercedes was able to pull by being autistic 

Tyrant - not related to Dragaunus in any way, just a new saurian from limbo that is the new bad guy or something.

THIS STORY IS LUKE AND MAESTRO CENTERED. 

Betaed by @cataradical but the next part may be unbetaed because I am unsupervised.

—-----------------------

 “Thank you for the ride. You do not have to stick around,” signed Maestro as he sat in the passenger seat. He had been excited all day to go to the bookstore. The book he wanted the author to sign was sitting in his lap.

“Ah, I’ll be in the area. There’s stuff on the other side of the street I’m going to check out,” replied Luke, signing as he spoke aloud.

“Cool. I will text you when I am done,” Maestro signed as he smiled, “I do not know how long the line is going to be. He is famous enough to draw a crowd.”

“Take your time. There’s no rush. Maybe we can have dinner afterwards,” Luke said and signed. Maestro put on the device that helped him hear. It was something Tanya had created a short while ago that easily wrapped around the back of his head and ended at a circular shape on each end. It wasn’t 100% helpful with hearing speech, but it was what he normally wore in battle mode so he could not be surprised and attacked from behind. 

“A quick dinner. I wanted to finish packing tonight,” Maestro signed, smile widening. He opened  the truck door to get out. He closed the door, tucked the book under his arm, and waved his friend off.. Luke snickered and waved in return before the other duck disappeared into the store.

Luke headed to the strip mall across the street. He was sure he could find something to waste his time on for a few hours. He didn’t want to go back to his empty apartment and for sure did not want to go back to the Pond and be forced to practice. 

Luke barely had a chance to park when he already received a text message from Maestro. He expected it to be a long paragraph explaining something that happened at the signing. Instead it was a short message: “Pick me up now. Please.”

Luke hopped back into the pickup, returned to the bookstore. Maestro was waiting outside with a very neutral expression. His copy of the book was no longer in his arms.

Luke parked the truck and Maestro got in without saying a word. Angrily buckled himself up.

“Uh, that was quick... How did it go?” Luke said as he signed, a little bit unsure about asking because it clearly did not go well. 

“Not good. Can we go to your apartment?” Maestro signed back as he dropped his messenger back onto his lap. The book didn’t appear to be inside, either.

“Okay…” Luke trailed off, replying with a simple “okay” in sign.

The drive was awkwardly quiet. Maestro stared out the window, hugging his bag. When they pulled off at an exit and stopped at a red light, he finally broke the silence. Without looking at Luke, he spoke aloud, “He didn’t even give me the chance to explain. He just said I was mocking his work.” Most of his enunciation and tone was clear but when it came to longer words they were more mumbled. Before Luke could say anything, he continued, “I mean. I knew better than to mention Limbo. I just said there is warring on our home planet and he just– just shot me down. I mean. It’s the elephant in the room that no one talks about, but it’s kinda common knowledge that alien ducks are here because our planet sucks right now. So wouldn’t it make sense there would be someone in my situation?” 

Luke nodded, not sure of what to say at that moment. He then realized Maestro wouldn’t see his nod so he reached over to give the upset duck a reassuring squeeze on the shoulder. 

Maestro looked over at Luke; he wasn’t crying but his eyes were misty. 

Luke went to speak but was interrupted by an angry honk from the car behind him. The light had turned green. The gray duck grumbled to himself, annoyed, and resumed driving.

Maestro looked a little amused at Luke’s frustrated reaction to being honked at. He wiped a tear from his eye, chuckling, “Sorry.”

“Don’t apologize,” Luke added verbally. He then signed his response, forgetting a moment Maestro wouldn’t understand him. It was frustrating for him that he couldn’t communicate with his friend while driving. 

Maestro could tell Luke thought that he had missed the words. “Do not worry. I am watching your beak now,” he reassured softly with a light smile despite his watery eyes. 

“Did you still want to go out to eat?” asked Luke. 

“No,” Maestro replied verbally. He spoke softly because Luke had to keep his eyes on the road, but still signed a bit out of habit. “I am going to take a nap. I was up until 4 AM, so excited to meet this guy. I do not want to go back to the pond right now because Tanya would see I was upset and mom all up on me.”

Luke took a moment to process what Maestro said. “Yeah, it's fine,” he replied. “You can crash at my place. I have a few things to do so I’ll drop you off first.” 

----------- 

A Short Time Later

—---------

“What kind of dump did you send me to?” the gentleman spoke into his cellphone as he got off the elevator. He angrily dug into his pocket for the hotel room key. “I’m on the third floor. THIRD FLOOR.”

There was a pause as the man stopped in front of the door, finally retrieving the key card. “I don’t care if it's a five star hotel. I don’t care what actors stay here. This place is as bad as that so-called bookstore you sent me to. I’ll call you in the morning.”

The author shoved open the door, tossing the key and phone on the dresser. He took off his jacket, dumped it on the couch as he entered the small office space in the large, fancy hotel room. Before he could switch on the light, he heard an abrupt <i>click</i> from the desk. It was followed by the flicker of fire from a lighter. 

The author, confused, turned on the light.

Luke sat on the desk, lighting his cigarette clamped in his beak. He took a drag, held it between his fingers. In his other hand was a copy of the author’s book, opened about a third way through. “So here’s the shit I don’t get,” he said coldly. “Your book is like, 10% about this former child soldier in Uganda, and then the other 90% about telling others how to cope. You, a guy who has never experienced the horrors of war. Where’s this child soldier you spoke about? The boy who actually had to endure all this pain and misery?”

“How did you get in here! The security in this place is… how!” the human seemed rather stunned. 

The duck ignored his outburst, flipping through the book. “Not a word from the guy in here… It's like you’re making money off his trauma. Wow. Does he get any of the residuals off your book sales, because I mean, come on. Or is this some sorta ‘Memories of a Geisha’ bullshit?”

“What is this? I’m calling the police!” the man went back to the table he had left his phone. The grey feathered duck stayed on the desk as he flipped through to read the next page of the book. When the human picked up the phone he saw he had no signal. He tried calling out but just got a defunct noise in the return. He then picked up the hotel phone but it had no ring tone

“Don’t worry man. I’m her to just talk,” Luke called from the other room. The sound of him getting off the desk could be heard, “Comon, we just need to discuss a little situation.”

The author went to leave the hotel room, but the doorknob didn’t work. 

“You know, EMP shit isn’t just stuff for sci fi movies,” the grey duck added as he came to the office doorway, “Man, everything is fucking automated nowadays. Even that silly hotel room lock.” 

“What do you want?” The man glared at the gray duck. The human didn’t seem scared but knew he was in possible danger. 

“Heh, can’t you at least guess? Maybe?” He stood. “I mean, it's not that often you see two alien ducks in one day,” Luke said as he leaned against the office doorway. He took another puff from his cigarette.

“You’re threatening me because I called out that other duck’s publicity stunt?” the author snapped. 

“Alright, first of all, there was no one from ‘our media’ with him,” Luke gave finger quotations as he spoke, cigarette bouncing between a pair, “he came alone and stood in line with all the others. Why couldn’t you just sign his fucking book and let it go?”

“What kind of PTSD trauma do you ducks have? You play hockey, right? You’re celebrities. I don’t see anything about your experiences related to the contents in my book,” the human ranted, more annoyed than anything else.

“Look, you could &lt;;i>technically</i> say that about any of the other ducks around my age born on Earth.,” Luke explained irritably. “But Maestro wasn’t, okay? He came to this planet when he was fourteen. I think he’s only told me about half of the shit he went through before he got to Earth. He really, <i>really</i> liked your book.” He didn’t expect the author to understand, however. “And even though you’re an asshole, obviously, the book helped him a lot. I could tell.”

Luke stood up right, moving closer to the author. The human stood his ground. Completely unempathetic, just as the duck guessed. 

“And what, praytell, did you want me to do about your friend’s problem?” the author demanded, crossing his arms. 

Luke rubbed his own forehead. God, this man was dense. “You wrote a book to help people, and your attitude is like… <i>this</i>?” he sighed. “Look, how about this. Wait a few days, and then send him a signed copy of your book with a nice short note apologizing.”

“And what if I don’t?” the human replied, unfazed. 

“How bad would it look if the advocate against child soldiers was taking blood diamond money this whole time?” Luke threatened, biting down on the cigarette. He took out his phone and opened up a search.

“I’ve done no such thing,” the author grumbled as he loosened the tie from his collar a bit.

“Oh, I can probably find connections in half an hour. If not, I can make a few up, all 100% believable,” Luke stated as he typed on his smartphone, “I might even have it done in fifteen minutes.”

“Impossible. Get out of here now,” the human said sternly, but it also had a slight tone of worry.

“You really want to try me? I’ve already shown that our advanced alien technology just blocked all the electronics in your room. Don’t you think that I could do more?” Luke asked rhetorically.   The other paused and let out a defeated sigh.

“All this because I hurt your friend’s feelings?” the human replied.

“Yep!” Luke could only reply as he gave what could only be described as  a sarcastic ‘buddy buddy’ patting on the back to the author, “I’ll check up on you and make sure you do as I said. Alright?”

“I will,” the author grumbled, reluctantly taking Luke’s threat seriously. Luke was heading away from the author and to the nearby window.

“Then, I’ll catch you later,” Luke replied before opening the window, “and if you breathe a word of this to the cops, I’ll know.”

“Uh.... alright,” the author said unsure as he saw the duck disappear out the window and probably take the fire escape down. Before the human could say anything else he was gone. 

As Luke was walking to the maroon truck he was borrowing he received a text. 

Mae: Where are you at? I just woke up. 

Mae: Not asking because I expect you to come back. 

Mae: Just asking. No rush. 

Luke saw the messages as he got into the maroon pickup. He replied back.

Luke:  I was just picking up your favorite donuts, from that little place across town. 

Mae: Oh geez. You didn’t have to!

Mae: Thank you! <3

Mae: I’m actually hungry for real food now but I’ll eat one on the way to real food or something. Ha.

Luke: Alright. I’ll come pick you up. :)

After he replied he put the phone in the passenger's seat with the box of donuts he really did get before his meeting with the author.

[musekicker]

I don’t know why but I’m finding the song “Don’t Lose Your Head” from Six being a interesting song loosely fitting Lucretia Decoy?

Just feel like it’s a somewhat fitting song? 

And if you add in the head canon of Lucretia and Tanya had a romantic past at some point the lyrics “not sorry not sorry about what I said, I just want to have some fun. Don’t worry, don’t worry, don’t lose you head, I didn’t mean to hurt anyone.” particularly fitting for that aspect.

summary : lup notices a little back box hidden under barry's pillow

oof sorry this is mess and hasn’t been edited at all and maybe i got carried away. whoops! thanks dear!

barry knew exactly what he was doing when he left that box there. he’d been dealing with over 100 years of taaco twin shenanigans. he’d already proposed to lup on about 20 different planes and not a single gotdam time had he managed to surprise her with it. lup always always found the ring. It never failed. barry trying to surprise lup had even become a game to the crew. but he was determined she wasn’t going to find out it this time. that box under his pillow was just a decoy.

lup had been hinting around saying that they should get hitched one last time. this was where they were going to be living out the rest of eternity and they hadn’t tied the knot on this plane after all. barry, and everyone else at his request, had done pan’s best to ignore her and lup was coming dangerously close to taking the matter into her own hands. It wasn’t until she went out looking for a ring to give Barry that he decided it was time. he’d been planning for months for this and just about everyone he (and the thb knew) were in on it:

the raven queen agreed to have barry and kravitz work that day. So when lup found the box she’d immediately call taako. he was at his magic school that day, working on something with ren when lup suddenly materialized in his office. taako tried to get it open, he honestly did. But he knew Barry had made sure he wouldn’t be able to. Barry had made about 10 different boxes, each for a specific person to try (and fail) to crack open. taako swapped the box lup had given him for another one in his pocket before sending her off to find davenport. maybe it was an illusion?

it wasn’t though. davenport spent a good hour “trying” to see if it was some sort of illusion but he didn’t have any luck either. so he sent lup on her way to find lucretia because maybe she could figure this out in any of the millions of books she has. still a solid no. then lup was sent to go find angus because, gods, if anyone could solve the mystery of how to open the damn box it was definitely angus. though angus wasn’t quite sure there was a ring in there. Because, after 100 years shouldn’t barry have known you can’t leave surprises out like that?

angus felt a little bad after suggesting that. lup realized the kid did have a point. Maybe this was just some impossible to open, little black box that barry had been messing around with in the middle of the night. maybe there really was nothing there. but angus made one last suggestion (it wasn’t a suggestion, just him following instructions really) the she go and see magnus. she’d had nothing but a bunch of wizards try and open it and maybe this was something that needed brute force alone. and magnus is amazing at brute force.

lup gets to hammer and tails and finds magnus out behind the shop, putting the finishing touches on an arbor. the small horde of dogs made sure to announce her entrance, none of them overly thrilled with an entire person just appearing out of nowhere. magnus tried every tool he had but even still he couldn’t get the box open either. and his grand suggestion was merle. maybe it’s some weird religion thing and that was the only thing lup hadn’t tried yet. magnus somehow knew merle was in goldcliff today instead of bottlenose cove. And it was just super convenient that that arbor he just built had to go to goldcliff too would lup mind giving him a ride too? it’s almost sunset and magnus was supposed to have this delivered today and it’s at least a 2 hour ride.

so lup and magnus arrive at the cliffs of goldcliff, and merle is there. except not just merle. davenport, lucretia, angus, kravitz and just about every member of the bureau are sitting in chairs on either side of an aisle. before she could even piece together what was going on, magnus sprinted down the aisle to set the arbor at the end. at the end of the aisle, in front of merle and over barry. then taako thrust a bouquet of flowers in her hands and there was music and then lup was walking down the aisle and yeah. she was crying because she really hadn’t expected this. barry was crying too, lup was pretty sure everyone was.

barry had put several months of work into this, plus years of never being able to pull off a surprise. but he had to say, all that time was worth it for the look on lup’s face when she finally pieced everything together. she had to admit, after over a century of surprises and never knowing what was coming next, this was definitely the best way to end it.

send me a plot/summary or an au and i’ll write a thing about it.
