Batgirls: After Patrol 🖊🖤

One day river has a dream. He's old. To his mind's eye, he looks like his grandfather. He's in a care facility exactly like the one he dropped David off at - except River isn't alone. There's another old man there, with hair wisped over a bald spot and gold half-rimmed glasses perched on a nose sculpted with unusual perfection, like someone's paid good money to erase any signs that it was ever broken. The man carries a cherry wood cane, although he rarely needs it, and he has a permanently fussy look stamped upon him, with his pristine coat and his bespoke house slippers.

In the evenings, the two of them retire to one of their rooms. Together, they sit at a small table barely fit to hold a tray, and they play cards. The card game they play, the only card game they ever play, is the only game they know that gives neither one a clear advantage. It's also the only card game they both hate. They both know this, although neither one wants to be the one that admits it first. That's the real game they're playing, and the first to crack loses.

If River squints, he can spot on the other man's temple, poorly hidden behind the thinning hair, the crackling, spidery web of an old scar.

The voice that speaks hasn't aged a day.

"Tell me, River. Did you ever become the best?"

River startles awake with tears on his face. He doesn't know why.

He's older than that voice now by a few years, and it's always going to stay that way.

(And he's still at Slough House.)

Wanted to draw them again X3 Just really love this story and these characters :D

"Dancing with the Devil" ~ Kalluzeb Supernatural AU no one asked for

A little late for Halloween but I did work on it quite a bit ON Halloween so that counts for spoopy season right? Anyway, basic premise is Kallus is a demon dealing information to the other side, specifically to a Hunter by the name of Zeb, someone who had a thing against yellow eyed demons since one killed his entire family. While Kallus may have taken credit for the kill when they first met, he soon comes clean and they form an unlikely ‘friendship‘ if it can really be called that. Maybe a little bit of enemies with benefits... if ya know what I mean.

@hixystix/@x-wing-junkie made a little fic to go with the universe we sure had fun playing in - "Pale Moonlight" - check it out and have fun with us too. XD

how i know lamb secretly views standish as his wife and river as their adopted orange cat son is that he makes it clear a thousand times that he fucking hates david cartwright and wouldn't mind if he died but david is important to river and lamb had to hear standish say, "river will never forgive me if something happens to him" so basically everything lamb does this series is because he can't let standish (his work wife) let river (his work son) down. LIKE.
