honestly dantes speech to guda about how they could be humanitys last and greatest avenger class servant is kind of cute. dantes was the first ever avenger servant in fgo and this far down the line he basically gathered all his other avenger friends to go "guda join us!!! we'll make you our grand servant bet those other loser ass classes wouldnt do that for you!! we all took a vote and decided we love you forever!!!"

Batfam Prompt #4: Granddad Lore
Do y’all ever think Alfred just drops Dad Lore™️ out of nowhere?
Like, maybe Bruce and Jason are arguing about Red Hood’s past kills and Alfred makes a sassy remark “If we’re holding everyone accountable for murders they’ve committed under influence when can I expect my court date?” Stunning them both into silence. By the time they get their wits about them, Alfred has already moved on to cleaning the kitchen and refuses to elaborate.
Or seeing Dick and Tim returned to the cave after fighting Condiment King: covered in ketchup, looking like a murder scene, with pickles in places pickles should not be. And Alfred sighs and says “ Oh this mess reminds me of the summer of ‘95.” And when Tim and Dick go “wtf?” try to question him on it he just sprays them with the bat hose.
Or he watches Damien and Cass, trying to train Goliath the bat-dragon to roll over and says “Oh, yes, this reminds me of the pet lizard I had in my boyhood, Spike, who turned out to be a crocodile.” And then leaves before either of them can ask more.
Or visiting Babs at the library with Duke and Steph and he stops to talk to an old woman at the counter. And when he comes get back they tease him about having a lady friend. And he’s like “ Don’t be ridiculous. I met Judith during the Lavender Scare. Helped her ward off suspicion so that she could keep her job as a secretary to the senator without being harassed.” And then he wanders off to find a new cookbook, leaving the three gob smacked.
Or someone’s telling a story about a mission over dinner and Alfred goes. “Ah yes, Master Bruce that reminds me of the summer your father dragged me on a boys trip to Guatemala to search for the chupacabra. Although that trip was how we met your mother.” And he continues eating while everyone stares at him because this is a Lore drop with bonus Wayne Lore???!

The Reign, ch14: A Future without Hope
Theresa meets with Fiona and Vivienne to discuss the future fate of mages in Thedas.
“Mages have waited long enough for our freedom.” Fiona’s aura stretched outward in a dense, threatening fog. “If it will not be given willingly, it must be taken by force.”
Vivienne was unphased. “I hear that so wearily often. It must be a great comfort to the common folk to know that their survival is trivial, compared to our freedom.”
“The two needn’t be mutually exclusive!”
“Oh but they are. However much we may wish it, we are not like everyone else. Anyone can see that a chevalier is armed and dangerous, and they can see when his blade is about to strike. But they cannot see us coming. And we cannot simply leave our magic at the door like one would a sword. The world is not ready to trust mages.”
“And when, in your mind, will they be ready?”
“I’m sure I don’t know. But certainly not on the heels of the most violent uprising in living memory. Justinia’s death shattered the balance of power in Thedas. If it is not restored quickly, countless lives will be lost. Mages, templars, innocents of all kinds now look to the Inquisition to decide their fate. We must be their example. Now is not the time to push the envelope.”
“What would you propose?” I asked quickly, in hopes of redirecting them.
Vivienne spoke to me, but kept her eyes on Fiona. “Rather than destroy the phylacteries, keep them close at hand, here in Skyhold. It would also be wise to create new ones for every mage already present. They will be well-protected, and enable us to have a more accurate accounting of our numbers.”
“With, no doubt, the caveat that we use them to track down any who do not wish to join our ranks?” Fiona sneered. “How remarkably loyal of you.”
“Do not use words you don’t understand, Fiona,” Vivienne answered coldly. “You only betray your own ignorance.”
