Oakland by AgentCoop (M | Incomplete | 30/?)

When Neil Josten gets arrested for a fake ID and thrown into the Juvenile Detention System, he knows that he's running on borrowed time before his father's men catch up. His mother is dead, there's nowhere to run, there's nothing left at all but an Exy court at the Oakland County Detention Center that he has to earn the right to play on through good behavior. And Neil's never been great at obeying rules. *** An Andriel AU where the boys meet as teens in Juvie.

Scrooge McDuck writes poetry and has an incurable Shakespeare (Sorry, Drakespeare) obsession send post

#the chaos duck has spoken #ducktales #ducktales 2017 #dt17 #scrooge mcduck #for David Tennant reasons and also he's just lived such a life! #And he has quite the way with the spoken word so I figure he definitely writes as well #But nobody knows about it and if anyone found out he would quite literally die of embarrassment #Like. Everything he's faced and the fear of being percieved is what gets him #*he has at least three love poems about Goldie*

ok obviously if you don't want spoilers for Hamlet Starring Donald Duck beware but here is my review and reaction

dramatis personæ:

- Hamlet: Donald Duck (Ducklet)

- King Hamlet: Scrooge McDuck (King Scrooge)

- Claudius: John D. Rockerduck (Rocklaudius) (this was definitely a choice)

- Gertrude: Brigitta MacBridge (Brigertrude)

- Polonius: Ludwig von Drake (Drakonius)

- Laertes: Gladstone Gander (Gladertes) (this one took me out the second I read it. not only does it fit bc Hamlet&Laertes and Donald&Gladstone are all foils of each other but it's also insanely fucking funny period so)

- Ophelia: I think it's probably Daisy but I straight up can't tell. but who else would it be. (Duckophelia) (this was also a choice)

- Rosencrantz and Guildenstern: Fethry and Gus (Rosengoose and Guildenfeather)

- Horatio: Gyro Gearloose (Gyratio) (this one also one hit KOed me)

- Players, Gravediggers: Huey, Dewey, and Louie, Grandma Duck

more under the cut of course

premise: Scrooge takes Donald and HDL with him to Denmark for a business venture, and HDL make Donald go with them to search for the infamous ghost castle of Ducksinore, which they know about from William Duckspeare's Ducklet, their assigned reading for school. (William Drakespeare was RIGHT THERE and also what they used in dt87 but whatever.)

Ducklet is the nephew of King Scrooge, who mysteriously vanished, apparently retiring to Greenland. Rockerduck is the new king. Donald is not excited about this, and he's even more mad about Brigertrude claiming to be in love with Scrooge and then turning around and getting engaged to Rockerduck. In the courtyard that night, Donald is faced with the spectre of Scrooge, who is not a ghost but is incorporeal and inaudible to everyone but a close family member. he tells Donald that Rockerduck poured Nonsense Juice on his head that made him invisible in order to usurp the crown and Donald has to get the antidote Or Else.

(Script is by Giorgio Salati, art by Paolo de Lorenzi, translation by Erin Brady)

love this first panel of the Ducklet story, very pleasing and a lovely design

Donald is slaying in a delightful combination of his usual outfit and Hamlet-style clothes complete with doc martens. Kenneth Branagh would be proud

Scrooge kind of follows Donald around, yelling at him to hurry tf up and annoying him in the middle of normal-people conversations so that he looks crazy. all in all he is a giant bitch as usual

loving the adaptation of the SWEAR! scene

rocklaudius calls ducklet a fruitcake

a few instances of comedic timing being impeccable. also I love fethry so much btw

this adaptation of the I Knew Him Well Horatio scene

nobody dies. Donald, thinking Drakonius is Rocklaudius, stomps on his foot with his medieval combat boots after the kids put on his little play. then while Donald Ducklet is on the way to England Drakonius and Ophelia headbutt and Ophelia gets a concussion and walks around talking nonsense and singing just in time for Gladstone to get home and be like What The Hell.

the king and Gladstone hatch a plan to get Donald to drink the Nonsense Juice but Brigertrude accidentally drinks it and turns invisible. then the juice gets all over the castle and everyone in it just before the Norwegian Beagle Boys can arrive to besiege it. the whole castle turns invisible (except they can all see each other) and they decide that it's not that bad bc an invisible incorporeal castle is way harder to besiege anyway. the end

all in all: very entertaining. I feel a little crazy I can't believe that was legit

△ Name one thing from their past that they regret. Susan?

Susan: ". . . Well, okay uhh...*sigh*... Okay, so I part of the drama club in middle school... I was trying to get better at acting in front of a crowd, so I could be what I always wanted to be since I was very little..."

Mr. B: "What does being in drama club have to do with being an explorer?"

Susan: "Explorer wasn't my first career choice. I first thing I wanted to do when I grew up, since I was real little... *sigh* I wanted to be a performer at the Renaissance Faire... In my defense, I was like five when I decided this. But anyway...

I mostly help making sets and costumes, there. I kept auditioning for just about any part, but I always ended up as an understudy... Or a tree... But there was this one time I got a part, a real part with lines. Well, a line, it was a small part I got because the other kid got sick from eating too many chocolate Peep's."

Susan paused for a second then let out another sigh as she rubbed the bridge between her eyes.

Susan: ". . . So, it was the night of the play. I'm excited, and really nervous. I only had one line a I was practicing it over and over. So when my part was up and I got on stage... The one fear every actor's ever had happened to me.

As soon as I got on stage to deliver that one line and looked out at the audience, my mind went blank and I froze right in front of everyone. I couldn't for the life of me remember that line and I could feel everyone's eyes burning holes in me, until I finally said something...

'To Be or Not To Be!'

I think the way I delivered it was okay... Except it was the wrong line! From the wrong character! From the wrong flappin' play!"

The poor duck woman buried her face in her hands as another sigh morphed into a long bewildered moan.

Susan, after a moment of getting over the memory: " . . . Everyone was laughing. I ran off the stage. Mom took me out to ice cream afterwords, at least. And after all that I was known as "Ditsy Drakespeare" to the drama club and the rest of my school..."

Man, Drake’s gotta be like, the Mohammad or John in terms of names of the Duck-iverse

Just an INSANELY common duck name(pun intended).

[wordshakerofgallifrey]

really into the idea of Morgana being an actress and she and Drake knowing each other from Back In The Day™️, and they both had their breakout roles in some cheesy teen movie where Drake was basically a young Chris Evans in Not Another Teen Movie and Morgana was Rachel Leigh Cook in She’s All That but Goth and Spookier and he was like the baseball star who was dared to go out with the outcast, goth, “weird” girl, but *gasp* falls in love with her in the end??

And they bond over the fact that they can’t believe this is what people want to see, but, hey. A job’s a job and they’re starving actors so they can’t really afford to be picky. But when you’ve dreamt your whole life about being the next action star like Jim Starling (Drake), and studied extensively the works of Drakespeare (Morgana), a high school teen movie when you’re in your twenties isn’t exactly what you expected.

#I’ve been thinking a lot about Morgana today YALL #now of course they’ve both left acting behind #drake to be a full time father and superhero #morgana opened her own little occult shop #where she sells/makes potions and books and tarot cards #frequent clients are one violet sabrewing and black arts beagle #disney talks too much #morgana macawber #drake mallard

an attempt

gyro tries to get a date.

Gyro has come to the realization that he wants to be with Betsy. He’s not sure what he wants to do with this information. 

It’s hard- social cues aren’t his forte, and he’ll be the first to admit that. So when he thinks that maybe he’s romantically interested in Betsy, it’s hard for him to do anything about it.

His intern at the time- a parrot whose name Gyro can never remember, even though he doesn’t dislike them, suggests that Gyro ask her out. And so he does.

Or, at least, he tries. 

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

Scrooge is stuck in another board meeting. 

Betsy is sitting on the couch, tugging on her feathers. She looks frustrated, but when Gyro clears his throat, Betsy looks up. Her blue eyes light up, and she immediately closes the heavy book in her lap. Gyro takes a look at it- The Collected Works of William Drakespeare. 

“Hi, Gyro.” Betsy says, and Gyro doesn’t think he’s ever liked the sound of his own name so much before. “Do you have another invention to show the board?”

“No, actually- just ideas, so far.” He answers, and takes a seat next to her when she makes room for him.

“I’m sure whichever one you choose to develop will be brilliant.” Betsy says, smiling at him. “So, if not an invention- what’s got you up here? I know it’s like pulling tailfeathers to get you out of the lab.”

“Hey, it’s not that hard!” Gyro finds himself protesting, even though he knows it usually is- the only time it’s not is when she’s around. 

“Sure, sure.” Betsy says, but there’s a little twist to her beak that tells Gyro she’s not done, and it makes his heart flip. “So when I visited last week, and the Lil Bulb prototype was trying to literally drag you out for food, that wasn’t you being stubborn?”

“Shut up.” He says, and Betsy laughs, the sound clear and loud and beautiful. “For your information, I was-”

“Betsy!” Mr. McDuck interrupts, and Gyro has never disliked his boss before now, but right now he wants to give him one of those glares so strong people say if looks could kill. “What in dismal downs are ye doing here, lass?”

“Can’t a girl surprise her uncle?” Betsy shoots back, standing up and going to hug him. “Also, I found an original copy of WIlliam Drakespeare’s collected works when I was getting it for college, I thought you might find it interesting to look through-”

She looks at Gyro over her shoulder and waves as she follows Mr. McDuck back into his office, and Gyro sighs. 

Next time. He’ll get it next time.

Hey.

Dragon!Shakespeare is Drakespeare.

[aftgficlibrary]

heya! I love your work and you guys have brought me so many good fics so lots and lots of love for that <333

okay so I read this fic a while ago, I don't wanna burden you guys so dw if it takes time to find it I'm in no rush

anyway so the fic (it was part of a series) basically had Neil and Andrew meeting before college.

Andrew is in juvie and there is this plan to send letter to other troubled kids as a pen-pal of sorts. Neil is actually Abram in this fic. They meet and write letters. They they meet regularly and call each other.

(They meet in juvie and have a thing for a while and when Andrew moves in with Nicky and Aaron they get phones to talk to each other instead of letters) and then Abram is taken and tortured by his father (he was living with Stuart not on the run) they sort of break up cause Andrew doesn't want to force Neil but Neil "doesn't swing" so they are confused and kinda seperated

that's all I remember reading (omg this turned into a long one so sorry about that)

if y'all find it lemme know <3

this might be it? it's locked on ao3 though so you'll need an account to read it

Andrew doesn't believe in regret. There's no point in wishing for things that can't be changed after all. He wouldn't go back to stop himself from being thrown in juvie; he had done it to protect a brother he never knew he had. Joining the exy team there was better than being stuck in his cell, even if it was boring. Even the penpal program for troubled youth his therapist put him in ended up giving him a puzzle to play with. That puzzle was 'Hatford'. A boy with a razor tongue and secrets, Andrew can't help but find himself interested in the stranger trading truths with him through poorly written letters. Andrew doesn't believe in regret, but answering that first message may have lead to something he wasn't prepared for. Set before 'Brother of Mine'.

Meet the Goons™!

Freda of Redhold is an Avvar clanswoman, and eloquent poet in her native tongue as well as four other Avvar dialects–who speaks barely any common at all, save for grunts and the universal language of the swing of the warhammer. Brother Heinnrich, who was run out of polite Kal Hirol society years ago for his excessive behavior, but is now completely reformed, honest. Andrastian, even. Sure, he likes a drink, preferably a nice sherry out of a crystal goblet, or brandy, but a better planner there never was. Lev, the littlest templar, who joined to find his sister who was taken to the Circle when he was young. Currently only recognized by King Alistair as a legitimate Knight of the Order, his armor is ill-fitting and his sword is poorly balanced, but he’s enthusiastic, and isn’t that what really counts? Claudia of House Cornelius, officially the worst blood mage ever. Born into a rich and influential family, her parents eagerly awaited to see what gifts she would bring them–inconveniently, the sight of blood made her faint. Her talent for numbers landed her a job as the Goon’s accountant. Ygris the Witch, Flemeth’s nearest neighbor and old friend. Morrigan remembered her from childhood visits, pinching her cheeks and cackling. Ygris enjoys the form of a newt, arson, and a good rousing bout of fisticuffs. Ricardo, a mage assassin and spy hailing from Antiva’s grand tradition of assassins and spies. Once, transformed into a frog for intelligence-gathering purposes, he was witnessed transforming back by the Knight-Captain, who assumed he had been placed under a curse by a wicked mage and soon after fell in love with him–much to Ricardo’s chagrin. Mother Joanna, former soldier turned Revered Mother, whose magic manifested so late that she always just assumed she was just that good at praying. No Templar has ever summoned up the guts to confront her about it. More of her here. Pel Tondrin, who left her home in Orzammar during the Blight to follow the Warden’s journey. She never caught up to them, but she did destroy quite a lot of darkspawn with nothing but a frying pan and a plucky attitude. Freda is particularly fond of her. Billiam Drakespeare, Varric’s hated literary rival. They share a grudging mutual respect and absolutely loathe each other’s work, and spend more time hate-reading each other than actually-reading anybody else. Following the destruction of his theater in the Qunari riot of 9:34, he found work with the Goons as an advertiser and herald.
