throwing another one into the ring — secondhand for Irene and Shifty bc I miss them oh so terribly

Who wants an AU? Me! I do!

The adage for this wedding, it seemed, was going to be everything borrowed, and something blue.

But just how else was one supposed to do it, when the groom was on occupation duty and the bride had been living out of a hospital bed for the last twelve months?

The flowers were wild, gathered that day by her friends and wrapped in one of Joan's good handkerchiefs and a blue ribbon that Ruth had taken off a shirt. The ring - secondhand, of course - had been purchased (he said) by Floyd Talbert, by ways and means that were perhaps better left unexplored. The dress came with Irene from England, a heavy parcel that sat on her lap for the whole journey, her hands protective around the twine -a loan from one of the nurses at the hospital, who said there wasn't any way she'd let Irene get married in a uniform.

"Well? What does it look like?" Maggie asked, too caught up in it all to realize it was the wrong question until Niamh hissed at her. "Will it match your shoes?"

Irene stared straight ahead, her fingers working at the package's twine. "It's…smooth. It has cap sleeves with lace edges, and celluloid buttons. I…I didn't think to ask her about the color."

She would never get back the vision in either eye. The doctors said the fragment had severed the optic nerve and the blood loss had been too terrible to save it. "Well, that's all right," Shifty'd said with one of his implacable smiles, when he'd gone to Colonel Sink to ask for permission. "Could have been worse than that. Anyway, she knew what I looked like before and I ain't changed all that much. And it seems I've got eyes good enough for the both of us, when it comes down to it."

Bob Sink certainly wasn't a romantic, but he also wasn't going to argue with the simple logic of that.

The shoes she'd brought didn't match, as it happened - they borrowed some from Marj's friend Frankie, black pumps with a bit of a heel that would look nicer in the photographs, and slipped the silver sixpence in for luck. No one who saw the pictures later would know the bride was blind - she was just another woman on her wedding day, smiling through closed eyes while her husband whispered in her ear that she looked lovely.

(Shifty didn't need to go home so badly, after that - points or no points, he had everything he wanted right here.)

Almost finished reading Dungeon Meshi and I got an idea

So in Dungeon Meshi or Delicious in Dungeon, there are these... dungeons.

And from what I have gathered dungeons can be made naturally or artificially but both types have the same few things in common.

They are made to contain demons

They attract adventures

The dungeons have lords who manage/control the dungeon and are given the power to do so by the demons

I know that I'm skimming over some important bits, but long story short, the demons come from an alternate dimension called 'The Infinite Realm' and feed off of people's desires, the Lord of the Dungeon's specifically.

That being said... (incoming dp x dc prompt)

Beings from the Infinite Realms aren't ghosts but demons. And while they do still have obsessions, they lack desires. And so, they've become something they hunger for.

Danny learns this the hard way when he accidentally eats his parents' desire to hunt 'ghosts'.

When the endless, all-consuming hunger, that had been growing inside himself became just a bit satisfied by the action, he got scared. He ran to Clockwork, who immediately explained everything to him.

From there he became terrified. He didn't want to eat people's desires, especially considering that he had some of his own. But CW explained that while other demons will most likely never be satisfied no matter how many desires they consume, because of Danny's halfa status he may be able to. (Also it would be a bad thing if the baby starves itself. No one wants the baby to starve!)

To test out this theory, CW pulls (more than) a couple of strings, and soon his dungeon was set up in Gotham City in the DC universe.

He felt a bit bad since he had to set up shop in another ghost's/demon's territory, but Lady Gotham seemed to have taken a liking to him.

Danny takes his time searching for the most desperate person he can find, (Lady Gotham is leading him to some of the most desperate people in her city, aka the Batfam.), and appears to one of them as a fawn (signifying his hunger and current 'lack' of power). He then looks deep into their mind and offers them the power to fulfill all their desires.

The Batfam? They should be better than this, but damn they were in a tight spot and the city is going to shit because the rouges have been more active than ever, and their family is on the verge of crumbling!... And the answer to fix it all was right there, just within their reach.

They held the fawn in their arms gently. Its ivory wings, coat of starlight, and piercing Lazurus green eyes. Gotham began to change.

A few years later, some members of the JL and the JLD are once again trying their hand at clearing the dungeon but are a bit discouraged because last time their team was wiped out completely.

It was inconvenient how their powers were nullified whenever they were inside the dungeon, but they had yet to find a spell to counteract it.

In an attempt to get past the third floor, they teamed with a team called Team Phantom, which comprised two young adult siblings, their 12-year-old sister, and a few teenagers.

Morally, they were against this. No one this young should be trying to clear the dungeon! But on the other hand, this team was the closest to getting to the fourth floor.

Sucking it up, they teamed up with the young dungeon dwellers and quickly found out why they were so close to getting to the third floor.

These kids were skilled. These kids were powerful. These kids were trained. On top of that, they didn't care about their lives! Because these kids? They wouldn't- no! They couldn't die, and they were using it to their advantage.

The JL/JLD now had much more to worry about than clearing the dungeon.

8 and 33 for Irene and shifty (distant screaming in the background) :))

8. What do they love most about the other? Why?

I think one of the things Shifty loves is that they both move at the same speed. Irene can be a sociable chatterbox when she wants to be, and sometimes she can speak enough for the both of them. I think one of the things Irene loves is how fiercely Shifty holds on to things that matter to him. He cares deeply about people and deeply about his family and if they were going to have kids, Irene knows he wouldn't make the same mistakes her dad did after her own mom died.

33. How do they flirt? Who's the worse flirt?

Oh, Irene's absolutely the worse flirt. She talks more than Shifty does, for starters, and she can really tease a person if she knows them well enough. Shifty flirts with things - very subtle. Little flowers, cups of tea, pulling her chair out at lunch.
