To Ensure He Doesn't Die - Tumblr Posts

Thoughts on an AU in their SHUSH days where (dhampir) Scrooge is cold to the idea of romance because of Goldie's constant backstabbing and he's partnered with young Agent 22 who, over the course of their partnership, begins to melt his cold heart?

ANON I'M ALWAYS UP FOR SOME GOOD OL' SCROOGELEY

Also I live for supernatural creature x human that will not hesitate if they try to pull any funny business.

I feel like after years of partnership Scrooge would have a hard time remembering that 22 is still actually just a regular human being? he's just so used to her being strong and able to keep up and even outdo him in their missions that he doesn't even realize that she's actually quite fragile compared to supernatural beings.

Also bold of you to assume these two aren't mutually melting each other's heart over the course of the years, bc Beakley is NOT exactly thrilled at the start either. After they realize they've caught feelings they're both like "Oh, FUCK".

And not to go straight up to angst territory but I'm on the mood for it so... (tw blood mention):

Scrooge not truly remembering about humans' limits until he sees 22 trying to keep up a brave face but weak and dizzy bc injury/blood loss VS Beakley not realizing how actually dhampirs are not invincible at all until she finds Scrooge weak and powerless after being kept away from blood for way too long.

Followed by taking care of their partner and becoming even more protective after that.
