#they would both be such good dads

[fe-fictions]

Can you do Alfred and Kagetsu’s reactions to finding out s/o is pregnant?

(I've been sitting on this one a little while-- the two puppy dog husbands!!!!!)

Alfred: The golden retriever prince is naturally completely on board with the idea of starting a family with you.

It’s an intimidating idea, at first, until he remembers that you’re just another person, like he is at the end of the day.

Titles aside, you were two people who loved each other more than anything. And if you wanted a child with him, then he was going to do everything he could to provide that for you.

So when you finally break the news to him that your months of trying were successful, Alfred could hardly contain a sliver of emotion.

“Alear!! Oh, Alear!!” He wrapped you up in a massive bear hug, nearly knocking you over as he shifted between tears of joy and laughter. “We did it!!!”

“We did!” You giggled, enjoying the sunny glow of your husband’s happiness. “We’re officially going to be parents. In…I think they said I was two months along.” 

“Two months? Already?!” He gasped, “That means we only have to wait seven more instead of nine!! This is such great news, darling! Oh, my gods, we’re…w-we're going to be parents!!”

He then proceeds to pepper you in kisses from head to toe, revelling the bounty of good fortune that befell you both.

Alfred wants to tell everyone right away, but somehow you convince him to take a step back and just take in the moment…privately, between the two of you.

“I’m not ready for everyone to know jsut yet.”

“What ? You don’t want to say anything?? But Alear, you’re the Divine Dragon!! You’re my wife!!!! Everyone will want to know right away! Oh, and then we can have a wonderful celebration, a-and we can gather up the royal families and have everyone attend!”

“That’s what I want to avoid.” You replied, much quieter than your husband who was practically bouncing around with great excitement.

You took his hands, a shy flush creeping onto your cheeks.

“I just…want this to be just for us. At least for a little while longer.”

“Really?” He looked confused, as though the request you made wasn’t something he could comprehend. 

You squeezed his hand, smiling nervously.

“I’m very excited to have a baby with you, Alfred, and I know we’ll tell everyone and they’ll all be happy for us! But…right now, I just want it to be, you know…our thing.”

“Ohh…I see.” Alfred nodded, and beamed at his wife. “You want it to be our little family?”

“It just takes a lot of pressure off. Not the king’s heir, not the Divine Dragon’s child…just Alfred and Alear’s baby.”

“Just a normal papa, and a normal mama, who will soon be blessed with a beautiful baby.” He chimed in, drawing you into his chest and peppering your face with dozens of kisses.

You broke into a laugh, trying and failing to resist his sweet affection.

Alfred would indeed hold to his promise and would not let the announcement slip until you were ready. Whi ch was torture for him, because he wanted everyone to know how ecstatic he was! Thankfully you only made him wait a week or two…though he would claim it was a difficult week.

Mainly because his sister and friends were teasing him for acting so “creepy” when he was even more happy and excited than usual.

The surprise was worth it, though.

-------------------------

Kagetsu: He had already expressed to you how wildly in love with you he was. He thought it was impossible for him to love you more than he did already. 

There could not possibly be more room in his already full heart!

That’s what he thought; then you told him the news.

“Kagetsu…I’m with child.”

The impossible was achieved with those three small words.

“Y-you…you what?”

Kagetsu’s voice was barely more than a squeak. He was choked up with emotion, trying to process the news you just gave him.

You nodded your head, tears starting to build in your eyes as you repeated the news.

“I’m with child, Kage. I’m…I’m three months along, already.”

“You’re-?!” He gasped, his hands quick to grasp your shoulders. His eyes were blown wide, floored with the information you were giving him.

First you were pregnant, but now you were already three months along?!

“I-it explains all the weird behavior, doesn’t it? The sickness I was feeling, the headaches and the tiredness…Framme’s the one who confirmed it, and then we double and triple checked with Pandreo just to be sure.”

“Oh, Alear…oh, my Alear…!!” He could barely piece together a sentence, let alone a thought. 

Kagetsu, who was always so chatty and happy to tell you exactly how he’s feeling was speechless. It was shocking to witness.

It was all the swordsman could do to gather you up in his arms, and hug you to his chest as tight as he possibly could.

You were somehow able to wiggle your arms free, if only to loop them around his neck as he buried his face in your hair.

“Ah…I take it you’re happy about the news, then?” You asked with tentative optimism. Kagetsu gasped softly, and pulled back to look right at you.

The tears that had gathered in your eyes had already overflowed from his. But beyond the tearstained cheeks was a smile so full it made your own heart sing.

“I c-cannot be any happier than I am, right now, in this moment.” He replied with a deep sincerity,filling you with warmth.

That man truly loved you with every facet of his being.

You cupped his cheeks, wiping away the tears that just couldn’t be stopped. He kissed your palms, trailing kisses down your wrist before he found your forehead, your nose and at last, your lips.

“Oh, my wife.” He shuddered, stroking your hair, his heartbeat loud and thundering with joy against your hands. “Alear…Alear, we’re going to be parents!”

“We are. Before we know it, we’ll have a little one to show around the Somniel.”

“I can hardly wait!!” He grinned, “Alear, I didn’t think it possible but…I truly love you more than anything in the world.”

“I love you, too.” You kissed him, tenderly, earning yourself one last beautiful moment of peace and happiness before Kagetsu could contain himself no longer.

He made sure to announce to the whole world that he was, indeed, an expecting father. 

And that his brillaint, flawless, perfect, goddess-like wife who could do no wrong ever and he loved more than any living creature has ever loved something…was pregnant.

It took a while to live down that embarrassment (but he was so cute when he did).

I just remembered that up until 5th grade, all of the sports teams I was in weren't separated by gender. I played basketball and baseball with boys. And we did just fine.

It wasn't until 6th grade when they segregated it by gender. It didn't make sense to me. I was now in softball because of baseball, because "softball is for girls" and "baseball is for boys" (which confused me bc my dad was on an adult softball team).

Now, my brother's all-male team didn't win a single game. My all-girls team won every single one.

They presented the boys' team with this HUGE trophy, and if you wanted replicas of it, they were $30 each.

My team was presented with a very small trophy. Extras were $5.

That's when I decided gender-segregated sports were bullshit.

people who think clem surviving makes no sense are so funny. "they were literally foreshadowing her death the entire season" let me introduce you to the concept of a red herring. she tells lilly she isnt lee and shes right. the narrative was forcing her down that path, a path she saw as an inevitable fate waiting to take her too, but its a narrative broken by aj, who is also his own person and not S1 clem

"it happened to lee, and itll happen to you" lilly tells clem she'll die protecting aj from some mistake he makes, when in reality his defiance of her will is what saves her life after she had already accepted her fate. he breaks clem free from the lee cycle and they get their relatively happy ending. good for them

saw your most recent post about really good fics that contain uncomfortable kinks and i immediately thought "ah, biscia must be reading the mpreg soriel fic" and almost left a reply talking about it but i stopped myself because i realized that would be an insane assumption to make. needless to say i felt so vindicated when i saw you link it in an earlier post.

like. HELLO?

HELLO???????

Cass + ballet 🩰 (ft. supportive siblings and good dad Bruce)

I love the idea of Cass enjoying dance. It's an outlet that allows her to express herself without words, and I think she would enjoy the highly technical aspect of ballet combined with its storytelling and emotional side. and as a former dancer I always have fun imagining my fav characters do ballet :)

Working on a fic about Talia running off to raise Damian on her own and sorta just pulling a Bruce on all the kids Bruce has already Bat-adopted (and some he hasn't) and because it spans years and my brain keeps screaming about trying to figure out how old people are/when things happen I'm making a timeline on World Anvil.

And I'm going all in on it. When peeps where born, when they met, major events & plot points all that.

Which includes Talia meeting Bruce for the first time.

And the thing is that World Anvil will let you tag/categorize the events your adding to the timeline and you have no idea how tempted I am to label "Talia meets Bruce" with:

Another thing about what Minkowski says to Eiffel when she's trying to send him back to Earth in the finale is that she explicitly recognises his potential to be a positive father figure to his daughter. And that's no small thing, especially when we remember her reaction to the news of his jail sentence in Ep35 Need to Know, and how she responded "I don't know what to say" when Eiffel told her the full story, and how she still didn't properly reconcile with him for another 41 days after their conversation in Ep40 Limbo. "Go home, Eiffel. Hug your daughter." is about wanting him to be safe and to move forward with his life and to pursue the things that are important to him, but it's also about believing that he is not defined by the bad things he's done. It's about telling him that he could be a good dad. It's about believing in the possibility that he could rebuild his relationship with Anne.

When Eiffel and Minkowski make up in Ep44 Desperate Times, he tells her that the side of his life he's kept hidden is her business. And here, in a moment that could have been the last time they ever spoke, Minkowski makes it her business by wanting Eiffel to be able to hug his daughter.

When it comes to canon it's often hard to separate what is true and what is bad writing/writer's choice.

For example it's easy to say that batman & robin All-stars is a bad comic but how much of what is "parodying" (Millar shitty excuse for being a mediocre writer) is true?

I'm gonna admit that I haven't had a lot of experience with batman comics (I have read probably around 200 of them? For the affiliated heroes even less I think; 85% of Tim's robin run, Cass Batgirl run, Batgirls, an Azrael mini series, Dick's tenure as batman, Damian year of the blood, batman & robin 2011 I think, red robin and no man's land) but can you actually say that Bruce isn't a an abusive parent? Starting from the 80s up to today the character has had a significant change of personality and story from his earlier incarnations, I wouldn't call him abusive with earth 1-2 Dick Graysons and pre-crisis Jason todd. The characters have some bad habits and issues that they have picked up because of Bruce but they are completely fine, things started to change after the crisis and they have never really gone back have they?

And honestly what does that say on how a character is supposed to be? It's an uncomfortable thought to have about characters that have existed for so long, is the writer wrong for following in the footsteps of those who have done the same before him? Like Gotham war is no different from stories like Tim's 16 birthday or Bruce original parenting plan for Cass.

I can't get mad for how things are today without looking back on how they where, I can't say that batman is a good or bad parent without erasing his actions and the situation at hand (saying he's a "complicated" dad is racist, sexist and ableist because you are trying to justify his actions when he is a grown ass man).

Simply ignoring those stories won't change the fact that they still are there, the fact is that now that's who he is and it's not very fun to read about a superhero who is actually a supervillain.

Also this goes for any character who has existed for decades, writers grow up reading about them different and that's how we end up with stuff like modern day Spider-Man.

If I put together my own dad squad it would be a disaster. you’d have Lost’s dad, who’s missing a leg which makes travel kinda hard, true form Link, who’s three different shades of angsty/depressed, and Volga, a literal dragon who’s still figuring out this whole dad thing
