This skit contains some spoilers of YJL, if you intend to watch it don't read it.

Picture this. In YJL's lore Dr Fate was previously a human, and he was Vandal's son. And Vandal made an alliance with Klarion, which Nabu didn't agree with and died because of it. That's what I'm using for my AU.

Now imagine Billy being in his teenage rebellion after Dr Fate adopted him.

Dr. Fate : You may be the champion of magic, but I am a Lord of Order and I know what's better. You will come with me on this mission.

Billy : So like, I cannot disagree with you ?

Dr. Fate : It's not an option.

Billy : I have the Wisdom of Solomon.

Dr. Fate : Right now, you are not even transformed. You will come with me.

Billy : So... Didn't you die because you followed your father into battle despite disagreeing with him ?

Dr. Fate :

Dr. Fate : It's not the subject. You will stop bringing that up every time we disagree. It is a mission of primordial importance.

Billy : And my best friend's fucking birthday is more important to me.

Dr. Fate : This mission-

Billy : I'm calling grandpa.

Dr. Fate : Do NOT bring my father into it.

Billy : *Already calling Vandal cus why wouldn't he have his grandfather's number*

Dr. Fate : Stop it.

Billy : Only if I don't come to your mission.

Dr. Fate :

Dr. Fate : FINE. You may go to your friend's birthday.

Billy : *Hanging up right as Vandal answer* :D thanks dad. *Leaves*

Later, Dr. Fate succeeded at his mission, which had him ally with Vandal for some reasons.

Dr. Fate : Was I ever this insolent ?

Vandal : Probably yes.

Dr. Fate : I am a Lord of Order, why has this child chosen me to father him ?

Vandal : Not my problem. Also here's a gift for my grandson-

Dr. Fate : Do not call him that. If it were up to me, neither of you would have ever met.

Vandal : Whatever. I have more important plans. Bye.

Dr. Fate : Why did I let this mere child adopt me.

Complete work of this AU

Imagine this:

Tragic siblings but make it Nabu and Klarion. HEAR ME OUT.

It takes the basic dynamic of "for their to be good there needs to be evil" and makes it into "for their to be order, there must be chaos".

They've had a sibling rivalry since the beginning of time. Fighting to overpower one another when in reality they were destined to be the Ying and Yang of their mortal realm.

It even pushes the plot in Young Justice when Child makes an appearance and competes to be the new lord of chaos of earth. Because it throws off and aims to destroy this centuries old debacle (its 2 am idk what else to call it).

If anyone has siblings then you might be familiar with the concept of of Sibling A is the one person who can bully Sibling B.

But why have their ancient entities decided to involve themselves into human issues? Well because in the comics Nabu "woke up" back in the 1942(?) comic run and assumed the heroic title of Dr. Fate. Order was directly influencing human lives therefore, chaos had to directly influence human lives. They unfortunately complete each other in the way siblings reflect one another.

This is honesty a 2 am rambling to share my hc on some DC characters. I just don't want to take my exam tmr. But trust once I'm free from my academic endeavors I will do proper research AND more fanart.

So I've been drawing a little, using a model cus I'm bad at art. So let me present to you a broken Dr. Fate, I guess ? I dunno, I don't have a lore behind it.

And of course, here's the model - I've done the shadows and broken mask by myself but I still find it important to show you from where I began. From Batman : The Brave and the Bold, I believe.

Lemme know what you think, I've enjoyed doing that very much.
