Durable

(Inspired by art by @flowery-laser-blasts and @creatorping, and prompts from @drakgoprompts)

Shego doesn't waste her time on things that can't stand up to her and her lifestyle. She works hard, she fights hard, and she plays hard, and she expects everything in her life to do the same, enduring all the same shocks and harsh conditions that she goes through on a regular basis and also holding up against her own tendency to handle things roughly. She keeps track of the latest trends, obviously, and she knows how to stay on the cutting edge of cool, but when she's outfitting herself and her everyday life her first priority is always durability. It doesn't matter how cool something is if it's going to get destroyed before she has time to enjoy it. Her phone isn't the latest model, but it still works after having fallen off multiple cliffs. Her furniture has survived multiple partial lair collapses. Even the clothes that aren't the ones she wears to work are all sturdy fabric and solid construction that will stand up to a touch of burning plasma or a surprise DIY project or just indiscriminate laundering when she doesn't have the time or patience to separate everything out. This even extends to her personal care products: styling creams that keep her hair untangled even while skydiving, nail polish that doesn't crack and bubble when she lights up, lipstick that doesn't smear while scuba diving.

And she doesn't waste her time on people who aren't durable enough for her and her lifestyle, either.

On rare occasions, Shego deliberately seeks out things she knows won't last. Cut flowers that will only need to be looked after for a few days. Outfits she's barely willing to wear once and won't be talked into again. Lovers she won't get attached to. If she's settling for anything less than the best, the strongest, the most enduring, there's going to be a reason for it.

The cab pulls up outside the latest celebrity charity event they've been talked into attending and the driver coughs pointedly. Drakken pulls himself away from her and straightens the tie and collar she's tugged askew, and Shego brushes back the hair his fingers have been tangled in. And while they're pulling themselves together, she takes out a mirror and discreetly touches up her lipstick. It's a cheap brand, and it has no staying power at all. Smears at the slightest provocation and leaves a mark on everything it touches.

They glide easily past the cameras, old enough news by now to avoid the worst of the press's hounding but still interesting enough to garner a bit of attention. A few photographers eager to capture the marks he hasn't yet noticed on his face and the smug look that won't leave hers, eager to be the first to go to press with confirmation after there's been so much speculation. They've been careful and discreet for too long, the risk of discovery always hanging over their every public interaction, and she's tired of hiding. And more than that, she's tired of not showing off. She has everything, and she's going to make sure the whole world knows it. Especially those parts of the world that aren't going to like hearing it.

She doesn't scheme, not like Drakken does. But she knows how to make a point.

A few other guests look up as they walk in. A few even nod in greeting. But no one really notices them until an unfortunately familiar pair descends on them. Possible and her little sidekick have apparently decided ever since the invasion that, even if the four of them aren't actually friends, they're not enemies anymore, either, and now every time they all show up to one of these things is an exercise in patience as the kids go out of their way to be pleasant and sociable. It looks good for the cameras, though, as much as Shego hates that she once again has to think about that. She forces a smile as Possible picks them out of the crowd and comes forward to shake their hands with cordial sincerity, like they're long-term coworkers who really should have lunch together some time. "Possible."

The sidekick is at her heels, looking like he's just been dragged away from the buffet, and as usual he can't match Possible's professionalism. 'Hey," he says with a little wave, and hurries to brush a few stray crumbs off his face. In doing so he shoots a glance at Drakken and his brow furrows, and he makes another little gesture towards his cheek. "Uh, Dr. D? You got something right-- oh." His eyes dart between Drakken and Shego, taking in the situation with surprising speed and clarity (almost like it's happened to him before) and he puts a hand over his eyes and waves the other one like he's warding them off. "Nope! Nuh-uh. Do not need to know any of this."

There's a moment of confusion before Possible catches on, and while she goes a little pink at least she doesn't do any shouting about it. Drakken blinks in confusion and runs his thumb down his cheek where the kid indicated, and when it comes away marked with a grayish smudge he goes even pinker than Possible. "Shego!"

She almost wants to laugh (and she definitely wants to kiss the shock and indignation right off his face, which she's going to do the second they're alone), but she just smirks and loops her arm affectionately through his. "Everyone's going to find out eventually," she reminds him. "Might as well get out ahead of the rumors for once."

"Is that what you're doing," he growls sarcastically, patting his pockets in search of a handkerchief as Possible and the sidekick slink away and out of the blast radius. "Because to me it looks like you're trying to turn this into a spectacle!"

She makes a wry sound. "Hate to break it to you, Doc, but everything we do is already a spectacle."

He glares at her and continues to mutter under his breath, but his fumbling to wipe away some of the lipstick marks across his face and neck -- she graciously offers the mirror she used earlier -- is all one-handed, his other arm still intertwined comfortably with hers, and there's a soft edge to his complaining that's grown pleasantly familiar. He may grumble and he may growl, but even he knows that he's going to get over it quickly.

Like everything else she loves, he's always been durable.

Here's my short Drakgo prompt for how Kim and Ron find out about Drakken and Shego’s relationship.

@drakgoprompts

Drakgo Prompt #22

Discovery.

How do Kim and Ron discover Drakken's and Shego's relationship?

Whether Kim ships them or Ron finds it awkweird, it's bound to be an interesting event. This can be set any time, in any way you want it to! During canon, post-canon...whatever your heart desires!

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

Reminder that all past prompts can be written for at any time. The love of Drakgo is timeless, so if you are scrolling through past prompts and find one to your liking, absolutely go for it! Just @ me in your post so I can be sure to reblog it. 😁

Drakgo Prompt #21

Blush. 

Yes, the episode (thanks to an Anon!)

Clearly, either Drakken or Shego tricked the other into an evil date for the execution of that plot against Kim.  What went on behind the scenes?  What didn’t we see?  What was the before and after?  Who tricked who and, what came of that date after their defeat by Kim?  Is there more to the incident than even this??  Show us your creativity!

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

This blog still isn’t dead, but, it would be nice if someone out there would answer a prompt~

Having just re-watched the episode 'Blush' : Where Drakken sprays KP with a formula to make her disappear whenever she blushes ... It definitely felt like Shego tricked Drakken into going on a date. Their version where they do 'evil' and mess with the hero Kim Possible, but still a date. After all; Shego was the one who initially brought up both embarrassment and dating in that episode.

Oh my friend, yes, 100% yes. The twist here is that I've only ever heard it speculated in fandom that it was Drakken who tricked Shego into the date. You suggesting it was the other way around is very intriguing. I sense a prompt needs to come from this~

Drakgo Prompt #20

Honeymoon.

Where do they go?  What sorts of things do two villains (or ex-villains??) do on a honeymoon?  Or...do they just stay in bed the whole time? 👀 Show us your creativity!

Side-note, this blog isn’t dead! I just haven’t been posting since no one has been answering the prompts. Hopefully some folks will come around soon~

Do you take Drakgo prompt suggestions?

Yes! No guarantee they’ll be used, but please send suggestions through an Ask!

At Last

I asked who should be drunk, Drakken or Shego, and @cocoa-at-night said both.  I present this fic.  For @drakgoprompts #8 AND #9.  Karaoke and a specific dialogue exchange.

At Last

The karaoke night had started out fun, to Shego’s surprise. Although in retrospect, the first shot of tequila probably had a lot to do with that.

Making fun of Motor Ed attempting to sing anything was great, but making fun of him attempting to sing Kansas was even better. She had cackled into Drakken’s shoulder, some of his sweet rum dripping onto her cheek from where it had spilled from his mouth as he laughed along with her.

Shego pushed through the tall grass with a scowl on her face as she scanned with the metal detector Drakken had provided her. He was several yards away, operating his own.

The sun was high over the tropical island, but it was temperate weather so Shego didn’t mind so much that Drakken had dragged her out to push through knee-high grass on the outskirts of a jungle, searching for some sort of mythical object of power. Something about their quest was putting her off, though she couldn’t quite pinpoint why…

“I still can’t believe we’re teaming up with this guy after you met him one time online,” Shego called out.

Drakken paused in his own searching and turned back to face her.

“We were instant messaging for ten hours, Shego!” Drakken said with a grin. “Dr. Sinister has very innovative ideas.”

Shego paused in her task and looked up. She let go the sudden realization that he had been exhausted during their date due to spending the day online as even worse revelations began to hit her. “‘Dr. Sinister’? Are you serious?”

“Yes, I helped him choose the name. It was between that and 'Dr. Evil,’ but 'Dr. Evil’ sounds a bit tacky don’t you think?”

“Wait, helped him choose? He’s a new villain?” Shego said, dropping her metal detector and setting her hands on her hips as she glared in annoyance.

“Oh he’s committed crimes before. But he’s trying to break into large-scale villainy. Rather difficult when you live in a rural area as Lester does.”

“'Lester’?” Shego asked, blinking in shock.

“Eh…don’t tell him I told you. He’s trying to build his villain cred, and with a name like Lester, well…”

Drakken’s metal detector began beeping and Shego watched as he spun around with an excited grin.

“It’s beautiful.”

The pale light caressed Sheila’s face, grazing its gentle thumbs across her cheeks. She smiled, happily, a glimmer of light reflected in the depths of her eyes that had told Drew otherwise. How often was she graced with the opportunity to bask beneath the moon with another? If Drew had to guess, he would say not enough.

Shego pulled her robe tighter around herself against the slight chill her shower-dampened hair brought as she walked the halls. She had expected to find her husband in bed, but as he wasn’t there she had decided to go look for him. It had been an especially busy week and she was ready to simply snuggle in and hopefully get a few hours of rest before the weekend began.

There were a few probable places he could have gone, but she started with the closest. The sound of an excited high-pitched voice and a softer, lower one brought a smile to her lips as it confirmed his presence in their children’s bedroom. When she arrived at the open door, she only peered inside, not wanting to disturb the happy trio seated on their daughter’s small bed.

Drakgo Prompt #18

Fairy Tale.

Is it a modern rewrite of a classic?  Do Shego and Drakken get sucked into a Disney movie a al Dimension Twist?  Are they just reading to their kids?  Or is it something else entirely??  Show us your creativity!

Remember to @ the blog in your response, so we can see it and reblog it!

Check out my prison tats, Yo!

Somehow, I never posted this fic???  If I did and someone knows where the post is…please, tell me.  This is my cheater’s way of answering @drakgoprompts latest about tattoos, throwing this old one up.  But it’s an old fave!

————————————————

Shego adjusted the fit of her suit in the mirror and then reached into her duffel bag for her hair brush. She supposed it was time to change after three lairs had turned up empty—she wasn’t dropping in casually, like she’d told herself she was. Now she was full-on searching for Drakken.

After another week at the spa and absolutely nothing worthwhile in the classifieds, she supposed it wouldn’t hurt to see if he had anything new planned. He was usually off-and-running again with new schemes in less than week after a failure, and the alien amazon had hit the road seven days ago. That was plenty of time for him to soothe his ego, right?

But with two underwater lairs and the arctic lair turning up empty, now she was beginning to wonder. He hadn’t been arrested again, so just where was he?

After fixing her hair, she slipped her gloves on and zipped the duffel bag up tightly. She glanced around carefully, watching for traps yet again as she exited the bathroom of the time-share lair. A suspicious-looking Professor Dementor stood with arms crossed next to the front door.

At least he had let her change in the bathroom. Now that she had gone through existing lairs, it was time for the destroyed ones. And if those turned up empty too…

“Are you sure you haven’t seen him?” she asked, pausing on her way out the door.

Drakgo Prompt #17

Tattoos.

We know Drakken got prison tats.  But what and where are they?  Does Shego have any?  Show us your creativity!

Past, Present, Forever

Chinese food being an important relationship thing to Drakken and Shego belongs to @gothicthundra  (and stealing dumplings, and wine floats…).  The idea of a romantic relationship between Hego and Electronique…also belongs to Gothicthundra.  Slowly but surely, her head-canons are becoming canon in my brain… And I have no complaints whatsoever.

Enjoy a little future slice of life.  Also for the “Dinner Date” prompt from @drakgoprompts

Drakken’s brow was furrowed as he concentrated on the task in front of him, his un-gloved fingers carefully manipulating the delicate materials, every movement measured and precise. He pinched the thin dough of the dumpling gently together at its apex as he used his thumb and index finger to make the first fold, sealing it on one side. Once complete, he carefully straightened the other edge before placing it in the crook of his other thumb, moving even more slowly with the second fold.

He placed the finished dumpling in the waiting steamer with the rest, and then moved the bamboo basket over the pot of boiling water and set a timer. He hurried back to his new wok where spicy lo mein and green beans were cooking, giving it all a toss before turning back to his chocolate mousse, ready to be put in individual glasses and then chilled. By the time they had finished dinner, the dessert would be perfect.

When he finally tucked the desserts away into the fridge, happily humming over how well everything was going, he heard the telltale sound of footsteps. He whirled around with a gasp, stepping in front of the stove in a vain attempt to hide what he was cooking. His panic abated however when Shego rounded the corner, a grimace on her face as she dug her knuckles into her neck.

“Shego?”

Happy belated birthday @drewlipsky!  Sorry it’s late…  You like the smuts, you get the smuts… This is also in answer to @drakgoprompts #14, and a continuation of the canon episode “Dimension Twist” – a what happened next for Drakken and Shego. Enjoy the story and my horrendously cheesy title.

Everything under the cut is explicit, NSFW, mature, 18+, etc.
