“Happy New Year.”

Barbara raises a glass of prosecco to her lips and takes a sip. Talking to the evening night air while standing by the open window by herself feels less sad, somehow, than she would have imagined.

“May there be no trials ahead so terrible that we can’t overcome them, and may there be a few unexpected treasures along the road...”

A heartbeat passes, and then she adds softly-

“...for everyone.”

Barb is the most GULLIBLE and OBLIVIOUS woman alive.

Tbh that aspect of her characterization always felt off to me. As a doctor she should have a finely honed BS meter; add on to that the whole “single woman” and “single mother” thing and I’d imagine her to be more alert to and wary of people who might be trying to manipulate her, both for her sake and Jim’s.

But nah. She spends most of the series in the dark, when I think there were definitely points she should have used her powers of Being an Adult to sit Jim in a corner and force the truth out of him or just go digging herself. Especially when her previously sweet, honest son turns secretive and standoffish in the span of like…two weeks. A shift that sudden is *not* normal teen behavior and I feel like most parents would have pushed more instead of brushing it off as latent teen rebellion.

Like I love her, don’t get me wrong, but I think they kind of did her dirty by not letting her start to put the pieces of Jim’s secret life together sooner (even if, in the end, she’d still only get the complete picture when Angor Rot attacks).

(unrated/non-explicit; 1327 words)

He looks up to…the other changeling. To himself, if the bastard’s to be believed.

“I’m still not convinced I should trust you,” Nightshade says. Diplomatic as he can, definitely not thinking of how much he sounds like a spoiled child, definitely not thinking of how he’s going to explain this to Kodanth. “Even wizards aren’t stupid enough to meddle with time, old man. How in any land under the sun am I to believe a changeling figured it out—”

Stricklake Month 2021 Prompt Submission: Magic / Mortal

The Inherent Romanticism of Stargazing and Life Insurance: Preview Read on AO3 —

“Are you sure about this?” She asks, as he takes her hands into his.

“Are you?” He asks her in return, giving her the smile he knows she likes— the roguish, daring one that draws her nearer to adventure, to him.

Barbara meets his smile with one of her own, one that he knows she doesn’t mean to allow, but one that she can’t help. He loves the ones that she can’t help. “The last time we did something even remotely like this, we were fleeing for our lives. As long as that doesn’t happen again? I’m sure.”

“Then as am I.” Walter plants a kiss to both sets of her knuckles, and she unsuccessfully hides her blush with a flustered scoff.

“You are such a charmer.” She rolls her eyes, and his response is immediate.

“Only for you.”

Some thoughts on ROTT, specifically Barbara Lake

She was turned into the Mom Prop, only there to provide tender care to her son and his friends. You know what I missed? Actual mother Barbara Lake.

And by actual mother I mean actual mother. Not just soft hugs or ego boosting. Somebody who, when their teenage, powerless son says they will fight ancient wizards/demigods/entities that Merlin ran away from, says NO.

Instead Jim gets this speech: “We don’t give up in this family. We don’t quit.”

You know when it’s okay to quit? When you’re a teenager who’s about to fight somebody like Bellroc with a sword.

There’s a lot of other things, but idk this passive acceptance really got to me, and I will ignore her attitude in most of ROTT in my portrayal of her.

We have arrived at the horribly disappointing part of canon, I see.

Firstly, let’s wait a couple of more days and see if it’s a consistent dumbass choice or a clumsy slip up.

Secondly, this is why fandom exists - to provide a platform for fans to lovingly fix canon and provide comfort when the writers shit themselves.
