I'm gonna andress the PenyAlGhul of @robs-your-robins, (in the refernce of the secret fic, wich project name is "the many lives of a man", I'm still planning and have intnetion to start writing after finishing cass in Gotham) and just say, yep that man is ancient (I don't mean Ra) and yep, I'm adding that thise 2 fucked when they were younger (and maybe also when older just for the sake of old times)
so here to you again a little snippet (... snifet? I have no idea on how you write it) of things I'll write later (and better)
Ra's Al Ghul never tried to get near Gotham, except for a few times, but every single one of those times a precence, a ancient and cursed one at that, followed him until he left the perimeter of the city.
He was, once again, in Gotham, but just to see his grandson this one time, he had a gift for him for his 16th birthday, her daughter told him that it was an important year for some reason.
The only problem was that, differently from the other times, the precence he felt was different, familiar in some way...
It reminded him centuries ago, when he was still young, a spirit, a man, and an old love that didn't last
Ra's Al Ghul turning around to look at the figure hidden in the shadow: *name that I still need to think for the fic* so it's really you, many centuries have passed since then... why are you here? In this cursed city...
Alfred stepping toward of the light of the roof they're on: In this life my name is Alfred, Alfred Pennyworth, and I became friends with the Spirit of this, even if cursed, beautiful city. So I should be the one to do that question, why are you here Ras? I tought you didn't want to have anything to do with your grandson after he chose to not follow the league way.
Ra: It was Talia idea, the gift I mean *showing the fancy wrapped box in his hand* , she told me that if I ever wanted to even see again my granson, and "possible future great grandchildren" , it was better to alredy start to mend our relationship.
Alfred: so you're here just to bring a gift for Master Damian 16th birthday?
Ra: I'm also starting to realize, that even tought I won't change my methods, the world has new ways in wich to bring peace and stability, especially with nature, and maybe, *looking directly at Alfred* maybe having allies, wich usually I consider enemies, could be useful...
Alfred taking the gift from Ra's hands: I'll give Master Damian your gift, and message *looking at Ra's with a little smirk* if you want, the day after tomorrow is my day off
Ra blushing: re-really?
Alfred: yes, we could take a hotel room or-
Ra: I have a safe-house in Old Gotham, we could go there, and I could prepare some chiura, it was your favorite in the past
Alfred: Yes, it's been a long time since I've eaten it... then it's a date, I'll see you Ra
-----------------------------------------
You can imagine the rest, just gonna say that the moring after their date Ra's was cuddling Alfred (Alfred half cares, but it's been years, almost decades since the wayne, since last time he had some personal fun)
Bruce had to take his flirting from someone, and that someone is Alfred
@robs-your-robins makes ONE (1) joke about Ras and Alfred fucking and suddenly I've got to thinking about Pennyghul as. An actual ship. Like, this is my OTP now. I think.
robs-your-robins? I have, but I keep missing their posts cause they post in bursts so first it was pennyghul then pa kent too, and now martha and hippolyta are going at it, the waynes are involved somehow, and apparently bruce saw them all on cctv once and is scarred for life, clark isn't in favour, and diana is cheering on her mother, and I'm not actually sure I want to think about the oldies getting it on so I might just not actively seek it out and protect my peace
