It's funny, when you think about it.

To go on a thousand adventures, to cheat the reaper hundreds of time, only for it to take revenge at the least opportune moment.

Oh, not death. No, that would be too easy. No, your soul needed something much, much worse… Something… altogether more subtle, to make you suffer.

To take, again and again, when it knew that it would hurt most. When it knew it would leave you broken.

It's maddening, when you think about it.

That adventure was neither easier, nor more difficult than all the other ones. Of course, you worried about Della, you always do. But after all, isn't this what boyfriends are for?

And because… no. You can't say that. It's unfair to you, and to her. It's your own fault you fell into that river. It's your own fault that its waters rushed into your lungs, drowned you.

And when you clawed your way out to the riverside, when you snatched back your life from death's jaws, you didn't feel good.

Somehow, you felt as if drowning would have been a better outcome.

Somehow, even in her arms, you felt as if nothing would be okay anymore.

It's also kind of sad.

She believed in you. She believed you could fight it, and win. Just another notch on your gloves. And you did too, after a moment.

You did, and again, it took.

Just when you saw light at the end of the tunnel, the scythe fell again, taking her amongst the stars.

But you know the worst thing?

Even when faced with her death, with that crushing despair, with what you had become, you couldn't do it.

And now you sleep.

Hoping, for one end, or another.

I wonder what you'd say if you saw me. Heh, Scrooge?

Okay, so...

I have no shame in admitting that I binged the entirety of Ducktales in a single night. And that I need season two. Bad.

However, that is not the subject.

The question that struck me during the entirety of the season was: who is Huey, Duey and Louie's dad? I kept searching but the only mention I found was in a veeeeeeeery old comic book issue, so, yeah.

So I thought that the only rational thing to do for a series that while funny and all, turned to be capable of pretty good angst, was to add another layer! Yepee!

Also, about THAT scene at the end of the finale, yeah, no spoilers HERE but there might be some at one point when we arrive at certain situations or something like this.

And also, I WILL upload the next chapter of Vigilante soon, it's almost ready and let me tell you that it is a big one. I'm also in the process of rewriting the first chapters that are... painful to look at. Dragon and the wolf should get an update soon too when my brain will decide to work correctly.

I guess that's all for tonight,

See ya guys around!

Dragon

ps: also Webby is a cinnamon roll and why oh why did THEY have to be so cute! That finale broke ma heart.
