ACTUALLY WAIT I ASKED FOR DANNY AND DAMON SO I ALSO HAVE TO ASK FOR VALERIE AND JACK AND MADDIE to make it fair 😌

(affectionately calling this Duly Deputized Hunting)

part 1 ~ part 2 ~ part 3

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

"So!" Jack clapped his hands together, nearly making Valerie jump from the sound. "I bet Danny told you all about the Fenton EctoScrambler, huh? Did you want a demonstration? I mean yeah, we're not using actual ghosts as test subjects anymore of course, but we can still -"

"That's okay!" Valerie said, throwing her hands up with a kind smile. "I already heard about it from Danny." That was a lie, but hopefully neither Fenton parent would pick up on her fidgety fingers and bouncing leg.

She would lose whatever nerve she'd gathered before coming here if she got sidetracked now.

Maddie, thank God, could see the somewhat unrestrained panic in her eyes. She laid a gentle hand on Jack's shoulder. "Honey, let's not overwhelm her. I'm sure I heard Danny say something about demonstrating it to her later this week." Valerie relaxed and met Maddie's eyes. A knowing twinkle glimmered behind the older woman's irises, a twinkle that carried the experience of taming her husband's energetic zeal. "You said you had something to ask us on the phone?"

And just like that, Valerie's heart rate skyrocketed again. She picked at the edge of her sweater, desperately wishing she had something to tinker with. "Yeah. I mean, yes. Only if that's okay, of course." She nearly smacked her forehead. Way to play it cool, Gray.

"Of course!" Jack said with a hearty laugh. "Why wouldn't it be okay? You're practically family! Danny's brought you 'round often enough, you should know that by now." He shot an exaggerated wink to Valerie as Maddie gasped "Jack!" and nudged him in the arm.

Valerie's face flushed warm, though strangely not from Jack's teasing. You're practically family echoed in her mind, sending an electric warmth down her spine and across her whole body.

It wasn't as though Jack and Maddie had never accepted her. Far from it, in fact; they'd been ecstatic to finally discover that the famed Amity Park Huntress was, in fact, one of their son's classmates, and his girlfriend at that. Jack in particular had been thrilled that there were more from the "younger generations" interested in taking up ghost hunting.

And both of them had supported her ceaselessly. They'd sponsored a paid internship for her the moment she'd gotten her high school diploma. Helped navigate her out of her contract with Vlad. Continued to provide her with whatever tech and repairs she needed, even after her internship technically ended. Designed gear specially for her.

It was more than she could've ever dreamed. After Danny had told her about how rough it had been getting them to let him keep up with his ghost fighting after they learned of his secret ("Of course I'm grateful they don't hate me," he'd told her, "I just wish they could be slightly less overbearing with their love."), she'd expected them to stick her with lectures about the dangers of the job and how she should be leaving such risky endeavors to the grown-up professionals.

She couldn't have been happier to have had her expectations blown out of the water.

"It means so much to hear you say that," she said, her voice beginning to tremble with emotion. Darn it, keep it together girl! "You two have done so much for me and taken me under your wing, and you've gotten nothing in return."

Maddie scoffed. "Don't be silly." She took the hand on Jack's shoulder and reached across his lap to lay it on top of Valerie's. The kind smile on Maddie's face nearly melted her heart all over again. "Not only have we gotten to see our Danny happier than he's ever been, getting to spend his time with you, but we've gotten to see you grow into a bright, beautiful young lady. That alone is entirely worth it." Jack nodded eagerly beside her.

Now the tears were truly threatening to fall, and Valerie Gray did not cry. She sniffed and took a deep breath. "These past years with Danny, getting to know you and Jazz and be a part of your family, they've been the best of my life. I know Daddy wasn't exactly keen on letting me hang out here too much at first, but he knows this whole family cares about me almost as much as he does.

"And I care about you too. I seriously can't even begin to describe everything you've done for me. I didn't even need to ask; you just did it." Another sniffle. "It's like you somehow knew what I needed before I even asked."

Maddie's smile faltered just slightly. "Well," she said slowly, "I wouldn't say that was entirely the case..."

"It was Danny," Jack said. "We wanted to help you, of course, but he was the one to tell us exactly what you needed. Kid was always fretting about how you wouldn't accept the help if it came from him, but he just loved you so much. He wanted to make sure everything was perfect for you."

Valerie's breath caught in her throat. "Danny..." she whispered.

God, she was going to strangle that boy the next time she saw him. And then kiss him like there was no tomorrow.

Breathe girl. In and out. "He's... he's done so much for me too. I wouldn't be who I am without him." In and out. "I can't imagine my life without him." In and out. "I don't think I want to live life without him."

Maddie jolted upright. "Oh my..." she breathed. "Are you saying...?"

"Yes." The tears were falling uncontrollably now, but Valerie's smile felt like it could split her face. "Yes, I absolutely am."

"What?" Jack looked back and forth between the two women. "What's she saying? What are you saying?"

Maddie had started crying too, clutching Valerie's hand in one of her own and Jack's with the other. "She wants to join our family," she said through her own tears.

"Really? That's what this is all about? Well heck, what's all the fuss for then? Like I said, you're already part of the family, Val!"

In spite of herself, Valerie giggled. "No, no," she said with a shake of her head. "I'm saying... I'm saying I want to spend every day with Danny. I want to be a part of his life forever, and I want him to be part of mine. I want to get to share you as parents, and Jazz as a sister. I don't care what might happen, I just know I want me and Danny to face it, together, for the rest of our lives.

She took another deep breath. "I'm asking for your blessing to ask Danny to marry me."

Valerie suddenly found herself engulfed by the warm embrace of two sobbing Fenton parents.

Soon to be her parents too.

Do you hate me and my poor little fluff deprived heart? :[

LOL I assume this is because of my recent fic updates?

Fluff will come soon ~ in some places quicker than others. <3

...In others, we must fall first before we fluff >:)

"Figures Musashi started to fall for it." Smoking and grumbling Kojiro in the corner. At least he snapped out of it in the end unlike some people.

#okay but real talk #if Mikito was there and brought up one thing about kojiro's dad #he'd be a lost cause too and instantly fall for everything #hell if any of the 8 had brought up his dad #and living peacefully with him?#he would have been a goner #but they didn't #so kojiro's habit of being withdrawn and suspicious helped him in the end #had he dropped his guard even a little it would have been all over #ic.kojiro.post #ic.dashcomm

Everyone loves getting kudos and comments on their fics, but what is a 'pet peeve' of yours that you get often? Like one word comments, negative comments, complaints, etc?

While I enjoy reading comments that talk about what they enjoy in the chapter or what struck them the most, I don’t think of one-word comments as pet peeves since I know the ones who sent them took the time to write it even if it’s one-word or even just an emoji. Hell, you can just copy-paste your emojis in your comments and I’ll be okay with that. Honestly, you can comment with a heart emoji or “kudos” to me and I’d still thank you.

As for negative comments or complaints, I seem to remember getting them once or twice before but, surprisingly, they seem to have disappeared before I could reply to them. The only record I have of them is because AO3 sends me messages for new comments so I guess the ones who sent it deleted it or something?

I will say that I don’t like getting those bot spams with links but that’s already a given. XD

#ask and answer #fanfic related asks #i guess?#i don’t know how to tag this XD #okay but real talk #which i’m keeping in the tags because this is the kind of person i am #i guess i’m just lucky now or maybe ffn’s earlier days have given me a thick skin #and that’s why i don’t mind lots of things #i did notice that a lot of the more ‘demanding’ comments #seem to happen more to the ‘famous’ ships and fandoms #and altdes is a niche pairing when you think about it XD

#Sir Crocodile #Monkey D Dragon #Emporio Ivankov #Dragodile #Crocodad #My art #One Piece #We're not gonna talk about the work I should be doing rn I have Severe Procrastinitis and I'm doing my best okay #Alternative version where it was both Crocodile and Garp beating Dragon's ass before Iva-chan joined in but that was too much effort lmao #I'm a believer in Dragon being a Wind Logia so don't worry guys he is 100% taking this beating intentionally #He knows what he did and he's dealing with the concequences of his actions. With grace.#You know I realize Iva-chan should be two whole meters taller than Crocodile but we're just gonna ignore that #Look Iva-chan taking Crocodile's side and being like ''Crocoboy is right you fucked up bad Dragon'' brings me joy #And for real I've been wanting to draw this for months. But never did because I had other shit to do. Which I still do #But. You know. Sometimes you need to draw a shitpost. It's ✨ self-care ✨#And appearently One Piece shitpost comics have become the thing I draw for myself on occassion

in fics where luke gets plopped into the prequels i want every jedi within ten metres of him to think hes the weirdest jedi theyve ever seen. he has negative lightsaber form. he doesnt know what a kata is. he handstands when he meditates. his solution to sith is to try and have a chat. hes a political radical who keeps suggesting revolution. you ask him what the jedi code is and he says "kindness and compassion and helping those in need :) ". you ask how he used the force like that and he says some shit about how you are a luminous being limited only by your mind. the councils authority is just a suggestion. he is somehow the new favourite of both qui gon and yoda

What would happen if Bayek recruited the Duelist as an assassin?

We don’t know anything about the Duelist as a character so we can’t be sure they would even agree to joining the Hidden Ones if Bayek tried to recruit them.

Now, if we assume that they will agree to Bayek then here are what I think could happen:

Due to their weapon of choice and their clothing, there’s a high chance that the Duelist is from China (AC wiki does say they were Chinese). This would mean that the Hidden Ones would have access to what a Chinese martial artist has to offer.

Due to their use of poison, it’s safe to assume that they wouldn’t mind doing underhanded tactics to win. Also, their poison may be different from the poison that the Hidden Ones use which means they could compare notes and perhaps make an even more potent poison.

Also, their inclusion gives the Hidden Ones a way to build a bureau in China earlier than they could which was, as far as we know, around 751 CE (Wei Yu in 210 BCE doesn’t count as he’s considered as a proto-Assassin and not a Hidden One). Of course, this could only work if the Duelist wouldn’t mind traveling to China to help out.

The Hidden Ones’ presence in China before 751 CE would mean that China’s history could change, for example: there might not even be a period of the Three Kingdoms in AC lore had the Hidden Ones had more of a presence in China by then. Dong Zhuo could have been assassinated before things went from bad to worse. “Do not pursue Lu Bu” my ass, he’ll be too busy pursuing the Assassin anyway.

#okay but real talk #diaochan as an assassin?#this… accidentally turned into a dynasty warriors/romance of the three kingdom crossover #i’m sorry #to be clear #bayek would be long dead by the time dw/rotk’s plot happens #assassin's creed #ask and answer
