Bentina Beakley X Morgana Macawber - Tumblr Posts
Morgkley (& Darkwing! Beakley) headcanons
After her daughter hatched from her egg, it started to become more and more painfully obvious to Beakley that she couldn't go to long-term misions as a spy as regularly as she was used to. Sure, she could go whenever her daughter's father was the one custodying the baby, but being also a spy himself, it became more and more difficult over time and she couldn't bring to herself leaving her baby for a very long time. (Btw, they have a "we have a baby but we're not actually together" kind of relationship and they're cool with that)
✨
Still, she had been in SHUSH for a really long time and she couldn't just leave like that (too many enemies after her head and then she could be easily found. Not to mention that she was good at her job and enjoyed it)
✨
That's when the project Darkwing Duck came into place. St. Canard had been a high-criminal rated point and mostly controlled by FOWL for a while and SHUSH needed a dedicated agent exclusively for that zone. So she "oficially" quit her job (only a couple of people, Scrooge included, knew that she still worked for SHUSH) and by night Bentina would dress up as Darkwing Duck (mostly to prevent her old foes to join the criminals and chase after her) and fight against crime in the city while in the day she still took care of her daughter. Scrooge hired her as a housekeeper to cover up her work as a SHUSH agent just in case someone decided to track her down. She would just enter the mansion after taking her child to school and fall asleep in one of Scrooge's many bedrooms (and sometimes cook) until it was time to go back to get her daughter.
✨
Being Darkwing Duck at night is how she came across many villains and friends. And, eventually, Morgana Macawber. (Here's where the shipping part starts 7w7)
✨
Just like in the original DWD, Morgana was a witch that ruined businesses and stole to pay her student loans when she first met Beakley. Used as she was to make even the straightest girl do whatever she wanted and charm people with just her silky voice, she found out that the hero was slightly immune to her. Yeah, Bentina would stutter and blush in embarrassment whenever the witch leaned too close, but in the end Beakley would still do the right thing and that became a problem with her early plans. And what started as an interest due to the challenge that the masked duck represented quickly escalated into attraction from both sides since Beakley couldn't bring it to herself to take Morgana to the police (not that it would matter anyways. Morg could break free again from jail whenever she wanted).
✨
Beakley had a lot of trouble accepting her undeniable attraction to Morgana since "I'm supposed to stop villains, NOT FALL IN LOVE WITH THEM!!" as well as she wasn't so sure about how would her daughter react to it. Eventually she talks about it with Scrooge and, as he keeps getting more details out of her, he can't help but laugh harder and harder.
I imagine something like:
Beakley: "I have a huge problem. You see... I think I might be in love..."
Scrooge: *trying to reassure her* "Hey, that's good! Isn't it? "
Beakley: *nervous and restless* "Mmmmaybe?? I DON'T KNOW!!! She's... tall, and mysterious and wonderful and she has some kind of aura that attracts me like she has a gravity field of her own!!!"
Scrooge: *laughing quietly at his partner's apparent struggle* "Wait. A girl? THAT'S GREAT!! You should ask her out! If you don't know how I can help with~"
Beakley: "YOU DON'T UNDERSTAND!!! I'm supposed to stop her, not fall for her!!!"
Scrooge: "Wait. SHE'S A VILLAIN???!!!! THIS IS EVEN BETTER!!!!"
At this point his laughter is louder and Beakley stares angrily and embarrassed at him.
Morgana suddenly appears ready to get Scrooge's money and, by the surprised yelp that Beakley made saying her name and the blush that followed it, he knows exactly what's happening there.
Scrooge: " OH MY GOD, DON'T TELL ME THAT SHE'S THE ONE!!!"
So we have Beakley standing protectively between the two of them trying to hide her now bright red face, Scrooge laughing uncontrollably laying on the floor and a really confused Morgana looking at the two of them wondering what the hell is going on.
✨
With time they started dating, much to some people's amusement, specially Scrooge, Duckworth and Bentina's daughter's since they could and would tease her regularly about it. Morg was the one who put the magical part of the antimagical defenses at Scrooge's mansion and she helped them fight against Magica countless times.
✨
Morgana loves to give surprise smooches to Beakley. Mostly because the spy yelps and her face turns a bright crimson color that she adores.
✨
Beakley acts cheesy around her whenever she thinks they are alone. Morgana acts cheesy and flirty all the time.
✨
Beakley's daughter gets used to call Morgana "Momma". Sometimes due to the surprised and happy face the witch makes, sometimes to tease her and occasionally out of habit.
✨
For their 1st birthday together, Beakley payed all of Morgana's student loans without telling her in advance, so she could be free to do whatever she wanted without having to worry about them. (Scrooge lent her the money. In exchange she'd keep being his housekeeper. It was also a tactic for both of them to make sure that the other was safe and wouldn't disappear without them.). That led to a little argument because Morgana thought it was too much and didn't want Bentina to take care of her problems since she had enough on her own.
✨
They enjoy doing little things together and both of them are happy just by staying side by side. (although they always end up leaning into each other)
✨
One of the few things they argue over is who gets to cook. Each of them have their own way of doing it. And their tastes are different. One finds normals' food "boring" and "flavorless" while the other keeps arguing that FOOD IS NOT SUPPOSED TO MOVE IN YOUR MOUTH!!!!
✨
The first time Beakley asked Morgana to join her fight against a villain, she almost cried in happiness. The witch spent the whole mission acting nervous and self-conscious and Bentina had to reassure her several times. Those kind of situations kept going on for a while until they became an unstoppable duo that fought like they were a single person, trusting each other completely.
✨
But, when her daughter and her daughter's partner were (apparently) killed in an "accident" involving some FOWL agents (apparently) Beakley lost it. She cut her relationships with everyone who could be the next one on the list except for her own granddaughter, who hadn't hatched from her egg yet, and her former partner Scrooge (+ Duckworth). She broke up with Morgana without any explanation and suddenly disappeared from her life to keep her safe. (That's the thing Beakley regrets more in her entire life and won't let anyone repeat her mistake). The witch looked for her aura around the world in a restless attempt to find her but, since Beakley was hiding at McDuck's mansion protected with several antimagic systems, she couldn't find her and eventually gave up out of spite.
Here you go @helloplaystationallstarslove
(don't worry though, I'm thinking about a 2nd part where they find each other again after the Shadow War. Beakley has to make up to Morgana and the courtship and forgiving takes a while, but eventually she becomes Webby's goth grandma. Oh, and meanwhile Morgana brings Lena back and adopts her.)
(and sorry I took so long. The app crashed and I may or may not have been daydreaming way too much >/w/<)
Who would ask the other to be their valentine for either MorganaXBeakley or ScroogeXBeakley, you choose cause I can't decide lol
Making me choose between my two OTPs?? Man, that's evil >w
(why choose when we can have both? 7w7)
For Morgana x Beakley, you can bet Morgana is the one who takes the lead in this and in the most seductive way she can. She just leans closer smiling, flutters her eyelashes dreamily and Beakley is sold even before she opens her mouth to ask her.
For Scrooge x Beakley though, I'm not sure. Probably Beakley. At first she leaves slight clues and notes because she's a little bit embarrassed about it, but when Scrooge doesn't get it she becomes more straightforward. Or maybe the both of them ask at the same? Either yelling at each other's face or interchanging notes while walking past each other.
This for an anon request that has been in my askbox for way too long and I just accidentally deleted instead of replying. SORRY QwQ.
They asked for Morgkley (preferably with an embarrassed Beakley) so, is their first meeting good enough 7w7?
