Hi, I'm not sure if you've finished the Evil!Douxie Au, I haven't read them all yet but I had a though of Douxie during his redemption arc trying to bring Merlin back because guilt, sad bby
It had been put on hold for an indefinite period of time :') BUT I shall make exceptions for this ask.
Remember how Merlin gave a little glimpse of the Battle of Killahead to the original gang in Trollhunters? Now imagine Morgana doing the same for Douxie, but of the times when Merlin cared about Douxie, even if he didn't show it.
[NOTE: This takes place in Timeline A where the old lady Douxie befriends, is an enchantress! HOWEVER, this also takes place after Rise of the Titans]
"Among all my apprentices, Hisirdoux has shown an innate talent for magic and continues to progress farther than what even I could have imagined at his age," Merlin states nonchalantly, polishing an empty vial saved for the potion he was making tomorrow. Douxie remembers the color -- it was a mix between a stormy red and cloudy pink. After all he dropped the said potion. Not on purpose of course, but it was quite a fiasco. He can't say that he remembers the incident very fondly.
"By 'all my apprentices' does that include I as well, master?" Morgana teases. Merlin rolls his eyes.
"Oh, Morgana, don't take my words for Hisirdoux as any ill towards your abilities. You know I'm proud of you both."
"Hm, well it's hard to say at times. The boy wants to move on to the advanced spells and quite frankly I think he's ready. Yet you refuse him so, without any room for argument."
Merlin sets down the vial, a deep sigh escaping his lungs.
"I worry for his ego. Hisirdoux is a good kid and he's never given me a reason to believe anything that says otherwise; however, I've seen many great wizards fall to the whim of pride, greed, and an aversion to embarrassment and failure. For a powerful wizard like him, he needs to learn humility. Only then can I be at peace with him moving onto more... advanced magic."
Morgana shows Douxie many more of these memories that she has, of the hidden times when Merlin let down his guard to express his fatherly side. It eats away Douxie, slowly but surely.
And then it hits him. By then it's night and he's sobbing in his bed. Archie awakes at the hiccups and sniffles.
"Douxie, Douxie what's wrong?"
"I killed him Arch, I killed him. I... I messed up so much I can't -"
And Archie knows exactly what he's talking about. In fact, he had been expecting for this day to come -- except now that it's here, he doesn't know what to say. He curls up for Douxie to wrap his arms around. If the embrace is too tight, if he finds it hard to breathe, then that's a secret for Archie and him only.
The next few days, Douxie looks off. Even his band notices it. Not that he's changed back into his apathetic self per se, but tired. Fatigue shows in the dark circles under his eyes, and the slow trudging walks whenever dragged around somewhere. A faint smile lies on his lips sometimes, but it disappears just as quickly as it comes.
Archie tells Morgana about this new development and she agrees to get to the bottom of it. What she doesn't expect to see is Douxie standing alone in the ruins, a burst of blue, black, and white magic erupting from his hands. A mix of light and dark magic.
"Douxie, stop, stop! What are you doing?" she yells, pulling him back. Douxie's scleras revert from black to white and he pushes her back, though not as harshly as she expected.
"What do you think I'm doing? I'm bringing Merlin back," he spits out.
Morgana looks at him with a knowing look: he's finally grieving. And that gaze burns a fiery anger in Douxie. But not at her -- at himself. He brought this upon himself. The sorceress raises a hand to his cheek, while tears fall upon her own.
Hello TOA Tumblr, I am aware that our fandom is small and I know that I have not yet contributed any content.
Would anybody be interested in Evil!Douxie one-shots (AU), like the last half of Wizards but where Douxie was the Arcane Order's champion. I saw somebody else suggest the idea of this and that Douxie was manipulated by the Order as he is slowly driven insane by being in Merlin's and Morgana's shadow.
Would anybody like this as a set of a few chapters where Douxie takes Arthur and Morgana's place in the end of the series? Please comment your answers.
Ok so I was going for skeletony, boney armor (with a wicked skull helmet!) and designed his cape based off of his Camelot hoodie thing. I flipped the horseshoe-looking thingy cause it resembles omega which equals "ending" whiiiiich is often associated with the baddies.
Paralled Morgana's magical prosthetic hand with mooooore bones! Evil boney dark magic hand. Instead of a Morgana vs Arthur fued, I mostly see Merlin vs Douxie. Or maybe Zoe vs Douxie? (aaaaall aboard the pain train :'D)
I also reckon his hair would be streaked with white (or entirely white?) from all that dark magic.
Hisirdoux, instead of taking Merlin's words to heart, grew sick and tired of feeling underestimated and humiliated. That darkness festered and twisted his heart. I also imagine him being very sadistic, like worse than Morgana, but also even more broken and tormented.
I actually wanna expand on this more now! But I'll leave this here for now💀🖤🖤
Hiya folks! If any of you recall, I did a Villain Douxie post a while ago. So in this little AU I’ve been thinking about, Douxie in fact becomes the fabled Grim Reaper/Angel of Death. He collects souls and imprisons them in his scythe/staff, giving him more power.
And that‘s been a huge problem for this guy:
Meet Maveth! The actual Death who guides souls either to the Light Realm or the Shadow Realm.
He looks scary but rest assured he is a Ghost Bean who enjoys cupcakes.
The Arcane Order wanted to recruit him millenniums ago, but he was like, “.....Nah I’ll pass.” Might be the reason why Skrael hates his guts lol
Maveth doesn’t really like that Hisirdoux, the one known as the Grim Reaper, has been tormenting souls by keeping them trapped in his scythe. Hisirdoux ain’t worried cause what’s this little runt gonna do?
Mmm perhaps we shall see in due time 👀
So after relistening to "Wicked always wins" from the once upon a time musical episode. I thought I could alter the lyrics and create an Evil!Douxie au. Not entirely sure about the details of the au but I hope I got the point across.
"Well you look happy"
"This is it Archie, our moment has arrived"
Finally the moment the I was hoping would come, the moment he'd realised he chose the wrong one.
There isn't any curse I could I cast to match this feeling.
The pain I knew when Merlin tore my self esteem apart, at last will be Morgana's when her live falls apart.
Suddenly the future's looking more appealing.
Once I was filled with rage. Now I'll enjoy the ride. It's so electrifying, watching all her dreams denied.
Ooh I will fly into tomorrow. Morgana full of sorrow, finally paying for her sins.
I'll smile, all the while she is crying, inside she's slowly dying, learning Wizards always, win.
Oh witches may be powerful but Wizards always win.
If Merlin would see me now he would ache with regret, for he'd witness al the glory Hisirdoux gets.
Treated Morgana like a queen and my blood boiled.
But all that's all history, time they all understood.
What they call green with envy, I just call looking good.
Oh I, will fly into tomorrow. Morgana full of sorrow, finally paying for her sins.
No strife, her life was so enchanted. She took it all granted. Now she'll dream of could have, beens.
Oh witches may be powerful. But Wizards always-
"wait! Why just revel in her demise? When I can use it to my advantage?"
Oh, I'll give her a magic gift to bring the Trollhunter down.
Once Morgana stands victorious, I'll swoop right into town.
And when he learns the spell was mine, oh Merlin he will see, he should have chosen me!
Oh I, will fly into tomorrow, delighting in her sorrow.
