Okay but

AU where Agent 22 joined FOWL and married Black Heron

BONUS: baby Bela's first official solo mission

(warning for swearing and blood ig?)

Me? Spending the day doing a bunch of self-indulgent au sketches that like four people will understand the context of? More likely than you think.

Today I offer you family fluff

Tomorrow who knows?

This was from ages ago but!! I still liked most of them so I finished it ^^

I'd like to sue tumblr for murder. It looked half decent and then I posted it so click for slightly better quality.

I keep remembering I did this and laughing because I'm just like That, so might as well share it.

4D Mayor Zan Owlson

I don't usually draw her and that should be a crime tbh.

Okay so

I was planning on only making rough sketches bc I ended up having more requests than expected and they usually convey more emotion but uh

I got too much into it.

Hope you like it!!!

Wait oh my god B4 Bella-

As always, click for better quality

Beakley 2d (or Webby 4d) for the angst :3

How DARE you make me choose.

Also, since you all seem to be really hungry for angst, consider:

Sleeper FOWL agent!Webby, who does not know why she just did that and can't do anything to move her body to help :)

Centaurworld's songs are a blast and unfortunately I'm incapable of not thinking about Beakley 24/7

I will forever be thinking about From the Confidential Caseflies of Agent 22, so bear with me.

Something I find specially funny is the "high class auction" part, where SHUSH needed Agent 22 to go with Scrooge so they have an invitation. Only for Black Heron to walk in by herself.

Because it implies that either:

1. Heron IS high class.

2. They didn't need Scrooge to be there at all, Ludwig just found the perfect excuse to partner Beakley with a very annoying billionaire knowing that he'll drive her crazy and ran with it.

(Dhampir!Scrooge anon again) Any headcanons about Scrooge and Beakley raising a non-dhampir Webby (she didn't get Scrooge's powers, adding to the believability that she's related to Beakley) like when she's really little or before the start of the series?

Depending on how much Scrooge has been around non-supernatural babies before, Beakley might have to sit him down shortly after bringing Webby for a lecture on things babies, specially the ones like her, CAN'T do. He ends up being a bit apprehensive around Webby at first since she's very small and fragile.

He's also the first one to reach her when she has a nightmare, heightened hearing + supernatural speed is a hard to beat combo. Ends up having to get some good ear plugs during the early months for when she's sick to retain part of his sanity though, her crying is LOUD.

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

The first time Beakley got Scrooge to hold baby Webby, she immediately went to poke the oddly pointy fangs and started giggling, to everyone's surprise.

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

There was a certain period of time since the moment she started crawling where Webby used to constantly try to drink blood because Scrooge always does it so it has to be edible and good right? Only for Beakley to immediately jump to get it away from her tiny hands every single time.

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

Considering the lack of contact with the outside world, Webby would probably assume some specific things Beakley and Scrooge share as the default XD

Superior strength? Enhanced reflexes? Sharp senses? Nothing out of the ordinary. Which is less than ideal when she starts going outside and meeting new people that get hurt easily with things she finds so harmless and regular.

Cue to Beakley's second round of "things regular people CAN'T do 101"

(Dhampir anon) (duck) Winged!Scrooge in vein of an angel. Totally doesn't have Beakley flustered in more ways than one when he's shirtless to preen his feathers.

Hell yesssss!!!!

I feel like what would have her flustered the most would be the intimacy of it all?

Preening is something that can be so personal and it implies vulnerability and trust, since he's visibly letting his guard down and showing he's comfortable around her, and as someone who's undoubtedly lethal and hesitates to trust even her own shadow, that would probably get to Beakley a lot more than she lets on.

My mind keeps going back to this drawing I did a few months ago so here you have it.

"Your mother... Was an artist. Your father was a librarian and by all accounts a very nice man."

"The sad truth is that... I was so caught up in my spy work that I missed everything important. I didn't even know I had a granddaughter until... until it was too late. And they were gone."

For @beakleyappreciationweek 2021 Day 1: Secrets and lies/Trust

At some point between the pilot and the last adventure Beakley had to have given to Webby the photo of her parents and honestly we were robbed of that moment.

I'd like to think that there's some part of truth in the story she told Webby.

@beakleyappreciationweek 2021 Day 2: Partners

I did do the day 2 prompt for enemies too for the @beakleyappreciationweek yesterday but I was tired so it's just very self-indulgent trash jsjsjs

Day 5: Scars

Yes I'm aware I haven't finished day 3 and 4 but in my defense. Figuring out and drawing scars is fun.

Most of the scars Beakley got over the years probably faded during the ten years she spend in hiding but she just went and got new ones since the triplets arrived.

The big one in her arm is from Moonvasion (she really got shot with a gun that aimed at the right spot would desintegrate someone and she just changed shirt and called it a day.)

The one in the back is from when Heron electrocuted her to knock her out and reaches to cover a part of her collarbone too (which she probably wasn't thrilled to find after the fight was over), while the cut in her arm is from last adventure too.

She probably has a lot more in the front and a couple in her legs.

Day 6: Vulnerable

I don't usually write and this is kinda short so hope you like it!

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

It had been a pretty regular mission if someone asked Scrooge. 

Sure, he had somehow gotten captured this time (in hindsight, maybe all the times Bentina had stressed about NOT putting unknown things in his beak had a slight point. Not that he was going to admit it out loud, even less to her face, any time soon though), so most of the work had fallen into 22's shoulders with the extra task of rescuing him. But still, pretty subpar villains compared to the ones they usually dealt with, paired with pretty common goals and a poorly put-together plan made it so the events of the day were unremarkable at best, and he had almost completely forgotten about them by the time he settled reading in the hotel's shared bed, Beakley diligently finishing touching up the main points of her report before joining him with a book of her own.

Eventually he had been so engrossed in his book, detailing the mysteries that surrounded a certain artifact that had recently caught his eye, that he had lost all sense of the time.

Until a soft, steady, rhythmic sound he had never heard before pulled him out of his trance and made him scan his side of the room startled, book gripped hard in his hand in case he needed a weapon, taking for granted his partner would cover the other side. 

But it wasn't until he turned to check with her that he found the source of his alarm and his breath stopped for a moment.

Because Bentina "Agent 22" Beakley looked deceptively defenseless curled under the blankets next to him with her pale hair messily scattered all over the place and shining slightly under the soft combined glow of his night lamp and the crescent moon, long lost to a deep slumber for the first time since they had met all those years ago.

And there he sat, staring at her in bewilderment, trying to remember a single occasion he had seen her like this in their many shared travels.

No matter how tedious the mission had been, how grueling and challenging the fight had gotten nor how many injuries she received from it, Agent 22 had always been awake to see him fall asleep.

Moreover, while Scrooge prided himself on being an early bird, no matter how early he awoke, Bentina was already going about her daily routine, moving silently like a shadow around the room to avoid waking up her partner. He had tried waking up before his regular hour before for a change but somehow she seemed to anticipate when that would be and fix her sleeping schedule accordingly every single time.

Logically he knew she would sleep during the period in-between. After all, common sense was one of her strongest suits, she wasn't reckless enough to enter a battle sleep-deprived, especially not when so much was at stake in every single one of her missions. Plus, she had trusted Scrooge as far as to give him her real name years ago and their bond had only gotten stronger since then.

She simply had never allowed herself to lower her guard to that degree around him during his waking hours.

Of course, he could hardly blame her. After all, old habits die hard, especially if they're the ones keeping you alive. 

Until now.

A small whimper suddenly broke his line of thought, making his attention snap back to the spy next to him, who, in a more awake state, would have never been caught dead making that sound in front of anyone.

Whatever dreams plagued her mind surely weren't pleasant as she whimpered again, her breathing speeding up and her body getting more restless by the moment, until he instinctively put a hand on top of her head, stroking her hair gently with a comforting shush, like he would do ever so often for Hortense or Matilda when they were little kids.

And then he froze.

He expected her sharp senses to snap her awake gasping, her fighting response to kick in and her self-defense instincts to take over in order to subdue the perceived threat, and immediately braced himself for the heavy impact of a bruising hit that never came.

Instead, under his astonished eyes, Bentina sighed and her breathing evened out again, burying her face in the pillow and snuggling closer to his warmth, mumbling something incoherently.

He didn't know if she was fully aware of it yet. But whether on purpose or by chance, Bentina Beakley trusted him enough to allow herself to be vulnerable. 

And if, much to 22's confusion, his smile was a little bit too smug when the morning came and the sun rised, well, could you really blame him?

Tfw your partner's dog doesn't like you.

For @beakleyappreciationweek 2021 Day 7: Free day.

(seas-storyarchive/the dhampir anon) Here's a weird au: the last name "Beakley" was an undercover name that Ludwig gave Bentina and Scrooge for a mission where they had to act as a couple. Bentina just "forgot" (didn't bother) to change it back afterwards

Sfhffg okay but I love this????

Whenever she gets asked about it, she brushes it off with some excuse, bc she's had so many surnames assigned from previous missions that if she were any lesser agent she herself would have forgotten them all ages ago. But this one has a nice ring to it, it sounds hers, and well, the fact that it has so many warm memories attached is surely a great bonus ;)

I’m genuinely begging you to make a post explaining the original context

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

Okay yeah, you're right, it's only fair I do explain.

Since I never actually gave much context (I tend to underexplain things, sorry, my bad), and it's always cool to see people being inspired by your art, this is in no way meant to shade or as a dig to the AU that came out of it, which btw is very valid and wholesome!!!!

But yeah, the original context is that both Bentinas are different people not previously related and are together!

(Ramble time bc you just gave me the perfect chance to talk about them sjjsjs thanks Sadie 💕). Basically the AU goes like this:

'87 Beakley is Bentina Vanderquack in here, nicknamed Tina later to avoid confusion, and works as a nanny for some influential families.

Agent 22 is still Bentina Beakley, nicknamed Ben.

They meet when the kid Tina is taking care of gets kidnapped and she's taken hostage as collateral damage, because she may be scared but she won't stay aside and let them harm an innocent child on her watch. 22 and Scrooge are assigned to the case and sparks fly. After that, they keep running into each other to the point that, whenever there's a child involved in the mission, Agent 22 knows she WILL find the soft brunette with the pretty eyes.

When Scrooge hires Tina, he "conveniently forgets" mentioning it to Ben and that both Bentinas did meet before countless times. He got an efficient employee, a kind and reliable friend AND a way to mess with his partner at the same time, he calls this a massive success.

They both become Bentina Beakley when they marry because Tina takes Ben's last name, but after everything went down with FOWL, they gave Webby Tina's maiden name so anyone seeking revenge wouldn't immediately link the baby to Agent 22 and come for their granddaughter.

Tina dies before Duckworth does, when Webby is still very young, and gets brought back alongside him as a ghost.

Bonus miscellaneous hc!!:

Duckworth and Tina immediately become best friends right after meeting for the first time, much to Agent 22's dismay.

Turns out that being married to someone with your same name does wonders to keep your enemies off your tail, because they will turn out at your house asking for Bentina Beakley and, instead of the tall and intimidating SHUSH agent they're looking for, they just find this sweet lady who's definitely not 22 inviting them inside for tea.

Tina IS terrified the whole time whenever she is involved in spy missions or adventures, but Agent 22's presence is comforting and she knows she won't let her get hurt. And she'd handle a million of them a day of it meant keeping Ben in her life.

Ben tried to train Tina. It did not work out at all. She couldn't kill a mosquito even if her life depended on it.

Tina is slightly taller than Ben, although it doesn't usually look like it due to 22's boots and 60s hairstyle. When Tina realizes though? She's delighted.

Tina never understood Ben and Duckworth's friendenemies relationship, why can't they just be kind to each other?

Webby got the spy skills from Ben and the kind and trusting nature of Tina.

And that would be pretty much it!! There's way more hc but this was getting long XD.

Again, the AUs that came out of it are absolutely amazing and so wholesome and cute!!! This is not meant to cut them off in any way, I love them and I'm very much looking forward to see if there's more stuff! But yeah, Sadie's right, I should at least clear this up before it's too late and stuff gets mixed and misunderstood in the future XD.
