myraclezzz

And I'm here to share my very first fic I ever posted! I'm so nervous wahhh

This has been in my WIPs for more than a year and I suddenly got the writing juice to finish it (plus I recently got my ao3 account back)

Hope u have a fun read! Would love to hear some feedback too ^^

i wish we could see more grucy honestly but not literally them just being together on screen

like for DM3 and DM4 they’re married yet I can’t really sense the married couple dynamic??? the deleted storyboard of DM3 where Gru comforts Lucy and they have like a mini argument about Gru hiding the bratt heist felt more genuine and they actually feel like a married couple. while i did find the helicopter scene amusing it also felt a bit off?

they also didn’t really interact in 4 apart from the kitchen scene i guess. i mean does Gru know Lucy burnt someone’s hair and was bejng chased? Does Lucy know about the blackmail or her husband took their baby on a heist? Are they aware of each others troubles? Do they even interact at home?

i mean yes i love when they hug kiss and be sweet with each other but something is just lacking

the most couple synergy they have was in DM2 and they weren’t even together yet lol

Gru can show off his wife while Lucy gets to have fun pretending to be a villain

since they like crunching multiple plots into one movie with a limited run time, why cant they just make it episodic with more time to flesh out each narrative

here are a few ideas of mine:

- she would always ask how lucy is doing and scolds gru to always take care of his wife

- Lucy would often try to speak up or defend Gru against Marlena’s insults or mockery but Marlena is very nonchalant about it as if she doesn’t really heard

- when marlena found out about Lucy’s pregnancy, she was very vocal about how the baby should look more like Lucy than Gru

- Lucy would sometimes call Marlena during her pregnancy for any tips or advice

- Marlena would look over the gurls or pick them up from school when the Lucy and Gru are preoccupied by a mission

- Marlena and Gru does become a bit closer ever since the girls and Lucy came to their life.

They must really wanna keep it from us

Heyy so I'm writing a DM fanfic rn (title above) and it's far from finished since im quite busy irl and only write when im free (or when ideas are actually flowing in my head XD) I was just curious to see some feedback on what little I've written so far! This is my first time sharing something I've written so i quite nervous haha I do hope I get to finish this and for it to won't stay in my WIPS like the rest of my writing hehe :P ========== "Are you out of your mind?" Gru yelled loudly at the woman across the room.

"Director da Vinci, with all due respect but my husband has a point! This is far too risky."

Lucy and Gru are currently in a mission briefing with the recently appointed AVL director. It hasn't been that long since they returned to work ever since they were hastily fired by her. This would be their first field mission in a long while as they were always given analytical and support work since they came back, per the director's order. The mission involves going undercover to an exclusive party hosted by a woman who the AVL has investigated to have smuggled hazardous chemicals hidden in her manor. The event was supposedly a charity event, with all attendees bringing along children. Which brings us back to the present situation.

"Seriously? You just got back on the job and the first thing you do is complain?" Valerie said in a mocking tone with a raised brow. "You took some little girls to help your old villainous antics, what's the difference?" she even sarcastically added.

"This and that are very much different, okay?" Gru argued back, genuinely offended by her unnecessary remark. "Look, why are we even making this longer? My wife and I will not accept this mission, end of story!"

Gru grabs Lucy's hands and heads towards the exit with her quickly following her husband's rapid steps.

Once out of earshot, Gru let go and grunted loudly in frustration. After letting off some steam, he grabbed his wife's hands and looked back at her with an apologetic look.

"Honey, I'm sorry for forcefully pulling on your hand back there but the director today is being unbearable more than usual."

"It's alright Gru, I would've dragged you out of there too," Lucy reassured her husband, tenderly squeezing his hands in comfort."I mean really, using kids for a cover up mission? It's crazy!"

The couple calmed themselves in the small silent space they found together until someone came along to ruin it.

"Excuse me agents," a deep voice suddenly joined in. "The director asked me to pass on these files to you."

"She's really stubborn, ain't she?" Lucy joked at him as Gru begrudgingly took the folder. The man standing before them is Mr. Viktor van Gogh. He is one of their superiors and directly works under the director. However, rumors suggest that even they don't view the new director positively.

Ignoring the comment made by the female agent, he continued to explain. "Not only do we not have a child agent, for obvious reasons, it would be much easier to select someone with existing ties to the AVL."

Gru opened the folder to see a picture of her little girls along with a few information about them inside. A quick skim on the contents made it obvious that the woman had her eyes set on their middle child, Edith. 

"I believe the director has one of your kids in mind for the mission which may explain her unusual persistence..."

Gru suddenly took a step closer to the man in black, passing on the folder to his wife for her to read the blasphemy too. "Hold up, hold your horses! I already refused the mission when a kid got involved and now you're telling me it has to be OUR kid?"

"Your daughter, Edith, has shown to be quite courageous and talented. Should this not lessen your worries?"

That comment pissed off Gru more than he already was.

"Praising our daughter won't make the situation shift, pal!" he says louder than before as he takes another step closer to van Gogh, just enough of a distance to grab his collar. 

Lucy stepped in between the two, attempting to calm her husband down. As much as she despised what she just read, it'd be dangerous to let the situation spiral down further. Still, that doesn't mean she has nothing to say to their ridiculous superior.

"Are you even thinking right? I mean, what kind of parent would just voluntarily put their child in danger?" 

"The risks involved in this mission are low and most importantly, both of you will be there," van Gogh tried to be empathic and reassured them, a different approach from the cold one earlier. He was trying to put a quick end to the matter as he would not hear the end of it if he returned to the director defeated. "If it's a matter of her safety, I believe it all depends on your capability."

Not a single word escaped their mouths as they were too baffled by what they had heard. At that point, the couple was tired of the back and forth argument with their unfazed higher-up. Gru and Lucy exchanged looks at each other for a while. Eventually, Lucy closed the folder in her hand while Gru cleared his throat. They reluctantly nodded in unison at him then everyone went in separate ways.

They've accepted the mission. (much to their demise)

The day went on with the two filled with discomfort. Neither of them are sure on how to break the news to the girls. They dreaded how awful this will reflect on them as parents. 

With work hours finished, they head out to their car to drive home. As Lucy settles in her seat in the GruMobile, she turns to her husband on her left.

"Hey honeybear, do you want to pass by that donut shop the girls love? I saw their page earlier promoting new flavors!" Lucy says in excitement, trying to lighten up the mood. 

. . .

Seeing how it's obviously not working, she reaches out and rests her hands on his shoulder. "Gru, I hate this mission as much as you do but I honestly think this is the best outcome we can expect..."

"I know, this was a decision we both agreed on but..." Gru sighed in defeat, resting his head on the steering wheel. "I am quite confident we can protect our girl but there are just some things that are out of our hands, y'know? And that is what I fear the most..."

With nothing left to say, Lucy grabbed the hand that was on his lap and rested her head on his shoulder. Gru held on to her hand as they both shared the heavy feeling in their hearts. 

After a long while of solemn silence, Gru whispered.
