Of you're still accepting request, could I ask for Mabel x Bill and number 61 please? ^^
I’m very much always open to requests unless I say otherwise! ^^ Also I know you were requesting some possessive/protective Bill last week so I incorporated that into this drabble!
Bill’s appearance later on in this drabble is inspired by his form in Weirdmageddon.
61) “If you go anywhere near them [her], you’ll have to deal with me!”
- MIRROR
“Oi, Shooting Star!”
“Nnghn….”
“Shooting Star!”
“Five more minutes…”
“Pighead.”
“Hey!” Mabel shot upright only to wince when it aggravated the bruises on her arm. Pushing up her right sleeve, she grimaced at the four stripes marring her skin, remnants of the large hand that had yanked her away.
“For the love of— Will you come over here, dammit!”
The brunette perked up at the voice, finally taking proper note of it. That was… Bill? Unable to stop the hope blossoming in her chest, she quickly looked around the jail cell she was currently held in and went over towards the bars.
“No, not that way you idiot!”
She paused. Turning around and looking across the small room, her eyes finally landed upon the mirror pinned to the wall above the basin. Slowly, she began making her towards it.
When she finally stepped in front of it, Mabel could only blink in surprise. “Bill…?”
Instead of reflecting her current appearance, the mirror showed the image of Bill Cipher who sighed in relief as he rolled his eyes.
“Finally, jeez! How dumb are you?”
Mabel scowled. “Hey, be nicer! I’m literally a prisoner right now!!”
His expression sobered at that and Mabel then noticed the background behind him resembled the Mystery Shack. What? She reached out curiously but her fingers simply came up against glass.
“Yeah, sorry but this ain’t a portal, kid. Just a video call of sorts,” he explained, eyes flickering over her appearance in what was probably concern.
Retracting her hand, she frowned. “Are you… in the Mystery Shack? Where is everyone?”
“He heh, ol’ Sixer is putting the finishes touches to a device that’ll locate you.”
Mabel blinked. “You’re… working with Grunkle Ford?”
The demon gave a casual shrug. “Turns out that when his great-niece’s life is in jeopardy, even that guy can swallow his pride and work with a demon one last time. Who woulda thought it, huh?”
Mabel could only hope he wasn’t testing Stanford too much—the man had his limits. She wondered if he was working with Dipper and Stanley too, then.
Just as she was opening her mouth to question this, a hand came down on her shoulder from behind. She flinched, snapping her head around to come face to face with the person holding her capture. At first appearances, he looked like a ordinary middle-aged man with salt and pepper hair and a grey suit.
But Mabel knew otherwise, she’d seen the horrors hiding beneath his disguise first-hand.
“Well then, this is a surprise. I don’t think I authorized any personal calls unless old age is making me forget,” he said casually, flashing his teeth in a way that seemed a bit too sinister for Mabel’s liking. She took a step away from him.
“Azazel.”
The guttural tone of voice that emitted from the mirror drew both their attention and Mabel was caught off guard by the thunderous expression painted across Bill’s face.
The demon did his best to keep his human form in check whilst in their world. Even in times where his emotions got the better of him and his appearance fluctuated, he was usually able to keep it in check.
Until now, it seems.
His eyes were pitch black, lips stretching back to display jagged teeth sharp like razors. His skin had transformed to a shade of red as if it was burning from the inside out, pieces of skin igniting and flaking off.
If Mabel wasn’t so sure he was on her side, she would have been terrified.
“Bill Cipher,” the man—Azazel—greeted, appearing unaffected by the demons change in appearance. “My, my, how long has it been since we met in person? A millennia? Two? My memory’s not quite like it used to be.”
Bill growled, and when he spoke in it was in an animalistic manner involving a language she couldn’t understand.
“Language!” Azazel cut in, frowning in disapproval. “We have a lady present.” He gestured toward Mabel who was leaning as far away as she possibly could whilst still having view to the mirror.
Bill’s expression was murderous. “This isn’t the time to be messing about, you piece of shi—”
“I disagree,” Azazel cut in much to Bill’s clear aggravation. “You used to love playing games and causing havoc. Why such the spoil sport now? Is it because of her?” The man tilted his head in Mabel’s direction, a look of distaste crossing his face. “You made the mistake of turning me down Bill. I was being so nice with my earlier offer and you said no. This is all your fault, you should know I don’t handle rejection well.”
“Azazel—”
“In fact, why don’t we make a game of this?” Azazel tugged at the tie around his throat and loosened it somewhat, lips twitching into a cruel smile. “You always did admire a good treasure hunt, didn’t you? Why don’t I cut a few pieces off this toy of yours and leave them scattered across a few dimensions with clues?”
Mabel paled. “You can’t do that!” She very much liked having all her bits and pieces where they were, thank you very much!
The temperature in the room suddenly spiked significantly and was followed by an audible crack. When Mabel glanced at the mirror, she found a large break running down its center. There was no sign of Bill’s human form anymore, only a burning blue fire swallowing the entire screen whilst a single red eye glowed eerily within its center. Mabel could only watch wide-eyed as the blue flames came out of the mirror and into the jail cell, running trails of flame along the walls and ceiling.
She took a few hasty steps back in alarm, and when she looked at Azazel he looked… surprised?
“….Colour me impressed,” he remarked. “We’re on different dimensional planes, I hadn’t thought you capable of reaching through into this one with your powers. You’ve improved substantially since our last time together.”
“You listen to me you slimy bastard,” Bill spat, voice deep and booming and Mabel winced at the intensity of it. “If I find one hair out of place on that kid, you’re fried. She’s mine and if you go anywhere near her, you’ll have to deal with me!”
The heat was sweltering within the room now and Mabel could feel beads of sweat dropping down her neck. Azazel was staring at the mirror, lips pressed into a tight line and hands clenched at his sides.
“Bill…?” she asked, voice tentative.
The solitary eye snapped in her direction and Mabel flinched at the intensity of its gaze. Then, it blinked, and some of the heat in the room seemed to dissipate.
“Watch out for yourself Shooting Star, I’m coming. And stand back.”
“What? Why—”
The mirror exploded into pieces and Mabel yelped, covering her head with her arms as shards of glass swept through the cell. When she hesitantly lowered her arms a moment later, the mirror was completely shattered. The blue flames that had made their way into the cell slowly extinguished themselves, leaving behind scorch marks.
When she looked Azazel’s way, she drew in a sharp breath. Several shards of glass had embedded their way into the skin of his face. Yikes. She would have felt sorry for him if he wasn’t an evil antagonist keeping her prisoner.
However, as Mabel regarded him, she noted he looked almost disconcerted. He’d seemed surprised by Bill’s display of power, as if he hadn’t accounted for it.
“Well then, it seems like I’ve ruffled quite a few of his feathers. How childish. He always was easy to provoke.”
She frowned. “You’re the childish one doing all of this petty stuff because he turned you down!” Hypocrite much?
Azazel flashed her a dark smile. “I don’t like being told no, Miss Pines.”
“Oh yeah? Well you wanna know what I think?”
“No, but I’m sure you’re going to tell me anyway.”
She jabbed a finger in his direction, pinning him with a ferocious glare she’d learned from none other than Bill.
“My demon boyfriend is going to kick your ass!”

Prompt with "I know you're his father but he's MY son!" with Bruce and Dick talking about Damian ('cause I thinks as well that dick is Dami's not-real dad but his dad nonetheless) I adore you and there's no hurry, you're so awesome!
Set when Bruce comes back from being ‘dead.’ Scenario where he split up Dick and Damian.
~~
“So, this weekend, we’ll move him out.” Bruce concluded, pointedly ignoring the anguished look on Dick’s face. “He’ll live at the manor with me from here on out, and you may stay here. Or go back to Bludhaven or New York or wherever you want.”
“Bruce…” Dick whispered. “Wait a minute, I think you need to-”
“Thank you for what you’ve done for him, Dick. For me.” Bruce cut off, already turning away, heading towards the penthouse’s door, going back down to his office. “But I’m his father. And it’s about time I started to act like it.”
And Dick waited. Remained silent under Bruce was at the door, was almost completely out of it, before:
“I know you’re his father,” Dick called - quietly, shyly, uncertainly. “But…But Bruce, that’s my kid.”
Bruce paused, slowly turned back around, eyebrows furrowed in surprise.
“That’s my kid.” Dick breathed, face open and heartbroken. “Please don’t take him from me.”
