#Daniel/Jayce/Lucy

[stellarcat52]

Family dinner

Another part of the uncorrupted Jayce au!!

This is just a little fluff, I wanted to get it out of my head. This is kind of Daniel/Jayce/Lucy if you want it to be.

(I wrote this forever ago but just never posted it. Happy pride, they're domestic for once.)

<To everyone’s surprise, Daniel is the only one in the Spellbound corp who knows to how to cook.>

Lucy picked up on the second ring. “Hello?”

“We need your help settling a bet.” Jayce immediately stated, despite it having been Daniel’s phone calling.

“Okay…?”

“Can you cook?”

“I never really had to.” She admitted, Daniel could faintly be heard cursing in disappointment. “The bureau usually supplies meals 24/7. Why?”

Instead of an answer, Daniel called to the phone from a distance. “Get your butt over here, we’re having dinner.” His storming away could practically be heard over the phone.

“Well that’s romantic.” Lucy sighed. “Jayce? You still there?”

“Yep.”

“Care to explain?”

“I have... no idea.” He admitted. “But I want to see where it’s going. I think he’s trying to teach Shak and Hoagie to cook.”

“Oh, so he’s trying to poison us.”

-

Dinner was not burnt, poisonous, or venomous, despite expectations. In fact, spaghetti had not been expected at all by Jayce or Lucy who had been pushed out of the kitchen under the premise of dinner being a surprise.

And yet, somehow, they were all conversing (mostly) peacefully over a dish of pasta. Minutes turned into hours and sure, Daniel sharply pointed out how he was the only one who knew how to cook, and that someone had to teach Shak and Hoagie how to. And yes, Shak then talked everyone into a cooking competition where everyone was teamed up against him. Lucy learned that the number of restaurants that use magic to cook is higher than she knew about, thanks to Jayce mentioning how it was typical for trackers to supply for them.

Shak and Hoagie retired early and tried to leave cleanup for everyone else, but dirty dishes were left alone for once when Jayce dragged Daniel to just sit on the couch for a minute and Lucy followed.

“Can you two finally tell me what caused this then? Not that I���m complaining.”

Jayce shot a glare at Daniel. “Someone stole my phone to stop me from ordering in again.”

“You were going to order from a magic pizza place! I don’t eat magic, Jay!”

“You already broke that rule.”

“Wait what?” Lucy got shot two looks that told her not to ask. “Okay hold on. You two have been roommates for over a month, have you seriously just been ordering in?”

“I’ve been taking Shak out to restaurants.” Daniel corrected. “But other than that, yeah. Not sure how Jay survived so long on his own.”

“Very easily, since I don’t need to worry about making my own food. Santana, you agree with me, right?”

“I’m not sure I want to,” Lucy held up her hands in surrender. “It’s late, I’m headed back to the bureau. I’ll come back if we ever have a family dinner again, okay?”

Shak was eager to learn something, even if it wasn’t tracking, from her family. So home cooked dinners became somewhat frequent in the Spellbound hideout, as did visits from Lucy.

A commission I technically got myself for my bday again by the magnificent crowzen!! (Here's the other awesome set they did for me before!) Definitely fit more into the cozy fall vibes tho so I didn't mind sharing a bit later.

Love this series of pics and they always do so well with them and are great to work with! <3 Super grateful for this cute spread!

I kind of just had it as a continuation off of another older comic I did where Lucy comes over and gives Jayce a shave and hangs out for the evening~

random Spellbound AU stuff... mostly Jayce and Lucy things but also a fun pic of Shak cause we talked about a thing where she gets one of the Amphibeast things as a pet (I think she deserves it and think it would be cute also gives me more of an excuse to draw one of them haha)

[danielspellbound]

Trying to keep a running tally of what we know re: character ages… I feel like that image of the guy with the conspiracy board who looks very haggard standing in front of it lol.

Daniel is “old enough to drive and be on his own” (assuming 18y)

Lucy is “slightly older than Daniel” (assuming 19y)

Hoagie is “not old enough to drive yet” (torn btwn assuming 15y and 17y? He seems young to me personally so I’m inclined to assume he’s closer to 15y or 16y but I’ve been wrong before)

Bixby is “an adult” (idk how old she is she has a babyface)

Jayce found the Cyclops Eye “before he was 20” and was locked in the Soul Box for 5 years (assuming he didn’t age in the Soul Box, I’ve put him around 20-21y. If he DID age in the Soul Box, he’s probably closer to 25y)

Shak “was a kid” the last time she was inside of Jayce’s hideout, which means she considered herself a “kid” 5-6 years prior, since Jayce DISAPPEARED 5 years ago but who knows how long he was out adventuring before that. I’m also assuming Shak and Hoagie are a similar age based on the way they interact. Shak has been confirmed younger than Hoagie. (Assuming she’s around 14y)

Burden is ???? old enough to know Daniel’s father (and Viktor Albright?) from before Daniel was born/when Daniel was a young kid, and “knows more about Daniel’s father” than what has been stated in the show so far. (I don’t have an estimate for him but he’s a Grown-Ass Adult™)

Elyse was probably around the same age as Lucy (assuming 19y) if they went to the Dowser Academy together.

Viktor is ???? years old! He was originally supposed to be hundreds of years old (“a sprightly 147 year old man”) and passing himself off as his son’s son’s son (Viktor Albright IV) but that didn’t necessarily make it into the final edit of the show so? He’s probably older than a human should be able to be tho. (Assuming at LEAST over 100y)

That’s all I have for now but I’ll probably update the info if I make any other connections !

[strictlyfictly]

Whether you ship(if you ship at all) Lucy with Daniel or Jayce think of the ✨ Height Difference ✨ she has with both. 

[bonkalore]

Gotta say, the Eliza outfit is a good look for Lucy! And of course, Jayce is already so gargoyle adjacent in his design, esp when he has the wings out. X'D A good crossover for them!

And I also really love the pikmon Ribbon and KC!!

Happy double d-day @bonkalore and @nmzuka !

I had the ideas for these a while ago, but wasn't able to get them finished... finally, they are done! First is a re-draw of a scene from Gargoyles, now featuring Jayce and Lucy for Bonka (I tried combining stuff from the actual Gargoyles look and Bonka's designs for different versions of Jayce. Lucy looks pretty good in Elisa's outfit too~). Next are some little Pikmin... but wait, they look different? Sort of like a ribbon and a snake~ (Ribbon was pretty easy, but Cobra was tricky; he's supposed to have like. a leaf that folds down to cover his head? and it looks like a snake next to the leaf on his neck? frightens predators or whatever)

Here's the trailer for season 2 of Daniel Spellbound! More magic, more action, more Hoagie! Full season ready for bingeing on Netflix now!

[brujeria-histeria]

Another Daniel Spellbound thought upon rewatch of s2

I am pretty sure Jayce had no idea that Daniel had no magic in him(that we know if because we all saw what happened at the end of s1). Shak ended up being the one having to use to totem because Daniel got wise to how off putting Jayce is. I already said before that Jayce was doing the almost less than bare minimum of caring for Shak and letting her almost die several times as long as Daniel was still intact. He was still keeping her around because either one would do the trick. Daniel was just his better choice because he could get him what he wanted, Daniel is smart and big enough to handle danger. He was even going to ask Elyse to use it for him. He knew not to even bother with Lucy because she would tell him no for sure.

I didn't even clock the first couple watches that connection, Daniel doesn't have magic but Jayce was lead to believe he did. He probably had no idea how Mermaid tech magic worked which lets anyone use it regardless if they have magic. He probably figured that was his "totem" of choice on top of Daniel having a ton of knowledge of magic. Also no one mentions Daniel not having magic, Shak probably knew but had no reason to mention it.

Dread Spellbound- Part 2.1

<Post season 2, Daniel has a small amount of dread magic inside of him. His friends are trying to trust him to fight it off, but it's hard, and the ghost of Jayce isn't helping.>

<Magic corruption, violence, not really a happy story. self sacrifice, death (kinda) forced transformation>

There are two endings, this is the ending in which Daniel isn't powerful enough to keep the Dread contained. Please read part 1 (this) first.

Daniel was taken aback. “I’ll try to call more often, promise.” Shak nodded, and was gone. The sound of deadbolts locking was nothing compared to the hammering of Daniel’s heart.

Jayce was angry with him. The Dread was angry with him. 

The transformation came all at once. The horns spiraled out of his skull, bigger than ever before. The tail, it had came out before but now it grew out barbed and sharp, more like a weapon than another limb. Then it was the wings. A first time for everything, right? He screamed in agony as his back was ripped apart and blood spattered everything behind him. The dread would never let him bleed out, no, no, of course it wouldn’t. Of course, purple skin grew to fill in the holes.

When the pain had receded enough to let cognitive thought take over again, Daniel realized he had missed the sound of the deadbolts unlocking again. He saw Shak take another picture. She had heard him, she had seen him transform. It must have been horrible, but not as horrible as the dread would have him do to her.

“Don’t make me hunt her.” Daniel sobbed as the dreaded purple took over his face. “Run, Shak. Run.” 

Shak did run, and Daniel was just strong enough to fight every urge to follow her until the door was locked again and he was trapped. Forever this time, he hoped. 

“You. Do you know what you’ve done? You’ve doomed us!” Daniel tried but the transformation wasn’t going away. “We could have ruled the world, Kings! That is who we should be! But no, you’re loyal to this world that has brought nothing but misery to us. And so you’ve chosen death!”

As Jayce’s rage burned his body, Daniel struggled to breathe. “Of course I did. I’m a Spellbound, self sacrifice is kinda our thing.”

Jayce grabbed him, lifting him to his feet by his throat. “You will not die a Spellbound, you will not die a hero.” Jayce’s claws dug into his neck, only causing more blood to join the stuff starting to pool on the floor. “You will die a monster.” 

–

Lucy had ignored the cameras she had set up in the Bodega for weeks now, but after Shak came to her, out of breath, she decided it was time to disrespect Daniel’s privacy. That didn’t matter much anyway, what was in there wasn’t Daniel, not anymore.

She called for her best Dowsers, she told Shak to go home and stay with Hoagie no matter what happened. 

By the time they got to the bodega, whatever had become of Daniel seemed to have vanished. He shouldn’t have been able to get through the door, but he was gone. What remained was a lot of blood, and a ferryman’s token- a parting gift from what was left of Daniel Spellbound.

When they check the cameras later, they’d see Daniel howling in pain as the dread fully took him over, and then they’d see him glitch around the room, looking at the map that led both Daniel and Jayce to the coffer, and then vanishing forever

They would never find him, not even in the bermuda triangle which Lucy insisted they search top to bottom.

Daniel had a funeral, and during it Lucy repeated something she had heard Daniel say on the recording seemingly to no one. “He was a Spellbound, self sacrifice was kind of their thing. At least the Dread vanished with him."

[bonkalore]

I've technically had this pic for a long time now, but I wasn't quite happy with it and it looked too dark. Recently tried to give it a bit more contrast and saturation but still not totally sure. Also have it so zoomed out that you can't see much of the details, so I'm just adding close ups.

Either way: feelsy and painful angst pic of Lucy and Jayce together around end of story when his condition has gotten worse and he's not feeling very hopeful about it but just wants to spend what time he has left with her.

[nmzuka]

Silly little Jacy comic~ (he's not use to being called handsome especially now considering...)

[bonkalore]

Eeeeeee!! I just LOVE how these turned out and the energy and feelings in them! Thank you so, so much for doing a wonderful job on them and being patient with me!

I'm just so happy to have art of them that isn't just mostly me! 😭💕

For others wondering on context: this was based on some stuff in the story I have where they go to a mall designated for magic folks and actually having clothing and such meant for varying body types and needs! Jayce gets a new wardrobe and enchants some of his former ones to adjust to the transformations!

Some AU ideas for Daniel Spellbound:

Role Swap AU (where Daniel is a dowser and Lucy is a tracker)

Full Fantasy AU

Pirate AU

AUs where Viktor Albright wasn’t murdered

AUs where Jayce wasn’t corrupted by Dread Magic

Crossover AUs (with Tales of Arcadia, HTTYD, or both) 

[danielspellbound]

Was there any humanity left inside of Jayce by the time he was set into the makeshift coffer?

Personally, I’m inclined to say… it’s complicated. I think Jayce WAS in there somewhere, uncorrupted by the Dread Magic that turned him into a half-demon. I also think that the part of him that was demonic was also SIGNIFICANTLY stronger than the human part of him. I’m not sure exactly how Dread Magic takes hold of someone and corrupts them, or if Jayce was turned into a demon before or during his stay in the Soul Box. (Jayce seems to imply that it happened during his time in the Soul Box, when they’re all talking about it at first. It’s later implied that the glitchy Dread Magic that takes over other beings comes specifically from the demonic corruption, so idk the timeline there. I also don’t hold abt 95% of what Jayce said to be gospel.) But it does seem to be the Dread Magic/corruption controlling Jayce, especially near the end when we see that control slip twice in the last ep (once just after Daniel tosses Hoagie+Lucy off a cliff, and once when he begs Daniel for help just before shattering the coffer).

What is interesting to me is that Jayce ended up going into the makeshift coffer. My assumption had been that they would pull the corruption/Dread Magic out of him with the ritual that they were performing, which would leave human!Jayce free to see the error of his ways and apologise to everyone as necessary. I didn’t expect to see him get dragged into the makeshift coffer, and the fact that he DID seems to imply that whatever corrupted him/turned him Dread did so in a way that was irreversible.

Which… brings us to Burden. IF Jayce’s demonic transformation didn’t happen until he’d been sealed in the Soul Box for 5 years, then Burden might still be salvageable (albeit Definitely An Antagonist that our heroes might not want to save). IF the demonic transformation was a direct and immediate result of Jayce’s dealings with Dread Magic… We might not have seen the last of glitchy Dread corruption powers, is what I’m saying.
