A hidden moment between scenes... according to my imagination. Ko-fi / Art Tag

I kinda want an episode where Uther realises how useful Merlin is as a spy and just uses him to spy on royal guests.

The poisoned chalice episode and then later the whole thing with the Dark Knight proved to Uther that Merlin is trust worthy, so he approaches Merlin and offers him that job.

Merlin: okay ... That actually works well for me, but I have one condition

Uther: Let me guess, you want more money

Merlin: no. You can't use me to spy on Arthur. He trusts me and I'm not going to abuse that trust.

Uther: ... What would Arthur have to hide from me?

Merlin: that's not the point. I want Arthur to be able to tell me if he like, wants to vent about a royal he's annoyed with without me having to tell you that he's annoyed by them. Or if YOU annoy him.

Uther: do I do that?

Merlin: no comment, but let me tell you something about that: any child is annoyed by their parents sometimes.

Uther: hmm ... Okay, I think I see your point. You're awfully loyal to him

Merlin: he's my friend.

Uther: I see... And that's your only condition?

Merlin: yes actually.

Uther: It's going to be interesting to work with you

Merlin: yeah, also wildly ironic

Uther: what?

Merlin: i said mildly iconic

Me, a Riddler fan, after taking a deep breath: Y E S!!!!!!

Don't mind me- just- gonna add to it-

(A N G S T, anyone?) (:

Edit: Messed up briefly but it should be fixed...

"Hey, sis?"

"Eddie, are you alright? "

"Was it dad, again?"

"... Yeah... At least he passed out this time..."

"Oh no... Here, where's the medkit-"

"Got it. Here."

"Thanks, sis..." Maddied sighed, as she opens tye medkit, "Wished you weren't dad's usual target, Ed."

"Tch, well, wished dad wasn't a jackass-"

"ALICIA!"

"What!? You know I'm right! We wouldn't have to be here if Dad wasn't, well, dad!"

"... She makes a good point, Mads..."

"... Could've said it without cursing... Sounded like dad for a moment..."

"Sh- I mean- ugh-... True... Sorry Maddie..."

"Not your fault, 'Licia..."

There was a moment of silence.

"... Did dad hurt you again, Ed?"

"... Physically or-"

"Y'know what I mean."

"Only a slap. Wasn't that hard with how drunk he was."

"Here, let me check... Not gonna bruise this time it seems."

"That's good... Less questions from people this time."

"Yeah..."

"... Maddie, 'Licia?"

"Hm?"

"Yeah?"

"How about we make a promise."

The two girls looked at each other quickly before looking at their younger brother.

"A promise about what?"

"If... If we ever become parents for one reason or another, no matter what, we never become like our dad."

"Eddie, you know that won't happen-"

"Just promise me, please!"

"... I promise not to become our dad."

"... I promise too. Don't wanna be him in the first place anyways."

"I know I was the one to ask the promise but- I promise not be like dad either. I'll make sure to be the best dad, even!"

"You're already so much better than him, Ed."

"She's right. Helps you only inherited dad's coloring, unlike me..."

"Just cause you like him doesn't mean you'll turn out like him, sis!"

"Hear hear!"

"Thanks guys... Hope you two know you're the best siblings a kid can ever ask for."

"Well, duh! Us Nashtons stick together- not dad of course but you get what I mean!"

"Pfft-"

"yeah, we get ya, Ed."

"To siblings?"

"To siblings!"

"To siblings!"

.....

"To siblings..."

Holding a green umbrella towards the crying sky, the once Eddie Nashton stood in front of a grave, clutching a grieving child with him.

"... Hey Maddie... It's been a while, yeah? Wait- that's stupid... Been over 20 years and of all the things I say, it's something so bland and cliche-" He felt little hands tighten around his shoulders, "-right, sorry..."

There was moment of silence.

"God- this is hard... Out of all us, I thought it would be me who was six feet under first, not you Mads... Not you... Not even 'Licia..."

Edward Nygma closes his umbrella, ignoring the rain, as he sat down on the dirt, adjusting his nephew so that he was on his lap with his arms secured in his.

"... For once, I am... Without words. I knew you and Alicia started a family- even if I wasn't there to even at either of your weddings- or, well, Alicia's divorce which good riddance to that ass- I mean, that jerk, but... Look, I'll be frank here. I'm sorry."

He ignores the trembling in his arms as he holds Danny closer to him, making sure not to hold him tightly.

"I'm sorry for cutting off the way I did. I'm sorry I left you and Alicia behind- I'M SORRY I ABANDONED YOU WITH DAD."

Tears started streaming down his face as he curled into both Danny and himself.

"I'm sorry I didn't bring you with me. I'm sorry I didn't help stop dad from hurting you while you protected me. I'm sorry for being a bad brother. I'm sorry. I'm sorry, ok? I'm sorry I wasn't there to even be at your funeral while that bastard was!"

Edward sobbed the ache he held in his heart to the sister who wasn't there anymore.

"I'm so sorry, Maddie. I'm so sorry for everything... Please- I'm sorry..."

It took a while for Edward's guilt ridden pleads to fade as a familiar numbness settled.

"I... I'm just glad the bastard didn't get Danny..."

He sniffles a bit, feeling like the little kid he once was.

"Remember the promise you, Alicia, and I made when we were children? Back in October, at 19:49 pm. We promised how we wouldn't become our dads if any one of us had kids..."

Edward paused as he looked down at his nephew before slowly carding his fingers through the kid's hairs.

"I know you and Alicia kept your promise, at least as best as you can, anyways... I never had kids myself but... I promise you, Mads, Danny will be alright under my care... I promise. I'll make sure of it."

Idk where I saw this but there was a post about Danny and Jazz being distant cousins of the Penguin and him taking them in. If you know what post I'm talking about please let me know so I can properly credit the person.

Edit: The story I was thinking about was @spacedace uncle oz au. Totally go check it out!

What if the Riddler was Maddie's brother? After he left home, he went to a dark place mentally and cut contact with his family.

So here's what I'm thinking. The nasty burger incident happens anyway. Danny ended up overextending himself to try and stop the blast which made him revert into a child to conserve his energy. Clockwork knows that Danny can't stay in Amity or the ghost zone while he recovers. Plus the boy happens to have an uncle in need of a little push in the right direction. This is how Edward Nygma gets a knock at his door and opens it to find a 6-year-old who hands him a green sticky note. It simply reads "I know you will do the right thing."

Long story short, Danny ends up bonding with this guy because of his funny puns and riddles. He promptly decides he's not gonna lose another family member. Edward can help but want to be his best self around this reserved kid who can go on hour long rants about obscure topics. He promises himself and Maddie that he'll be a good guardian. These two broken souls are starting to heal little by little and life is starting to look up. Except for one problem. Danny's uncle still has an extensive criminal history and the bats aren't as willing to overlook that as he is.

yeah I have a trollsona don’t @ me
