Words: 279

Warnings! Just some mild sexual humor/if you can call it that.

Elisa has to remember Goliath isn't human. But, sometimes even with that thought in mind she finds it hard to restrain her temper. 

Especially,  when he like a tank comes barreling through her bathroom door. The noise along of  hard muscle hitting the floor and splintering wood has her heart ricocheting within her ribcage.

"Goliath!" She shrieked, pulling her shower curtain over herself.

"Elisa-" he paused.

"Hey!" her downstairs neighbor bellows from below "Is this a circus!? Keep it down up there, Maza! I'm trying to sleep!" 

"Sorry! Sorry!" She shouted back before training her annoyed glare towards the literal giant standing awkwardly in the middle of her bathroom. Right, where he landed she could see cracks in the tiles.

Her landlord's going to have a cow.

"Goliath" 

"I heard you scream"  he says simply.

"I-I just burnt myself by accident" she hadn't been thinking when she had hopped into the shower forgetting how high she had set the temperature on.

"Burnt yourself-" 

"My bathwater was a little too hot is all, now can-" she eyes her broken door with a mourning glance. Oh, well she was looking to replace it anyways. She guesses. She watches as he picks up a rather large piece of her door frame-

"I seem to have-"

"It's alright." She sighs "just leave it" 

"But," 

"Just leave it, Goliath. Now, can you stand outside. I don't have any clothes on" 

"Right" she could've sworn he looked a bit sheepish as he places the door down and exits with a swish of his tail and a flutter of his massive wingspan.

Elisa mutters under her breath. This was going to be a long awkward night.

I’ve always liked Angela :>

I don't understand why people get so pressed about not following canon, like it's somehow some sort of sacred text.

Like fam-I do not care if Goliath and Elisa can't have biological children in canon I'm gonna write about it anyway. 😤

Rewatching Gargoyles

Short drabble,

Adoh: Oldest daughter of Goliath and Elisa

A/N: Nothing, just something ridiculous came to mind

"You don't think my dad and Demona….." Alex awkwardly gestures with his hands "ya know…...did things..do you?" 

Aodh casts her childhood friend a scathing glance, disgust clear in the way her nose wrinkled "how the hell am I supposed to know that!?" 

"I don't know!" Alex raises his hands "I mean they were partners in crime at one point" 

"Ugh!" Aodh snaps her head away. That is not something she wanted to picture! Ever!

"I mean anything's a possibility." He follows "though now that I think about it, that technically makes a Goliath a cuckold"

She turns back to him with a rather deadpanned expression".....Please stop talking.." 

Watching Gargoyles with my family like:

This was funny

Most memorable

And

Sketches from the Gargoyles Request livestream a couple of nights ago. I worked on them a little more and added color (cuz this is such a colorful show <3)

Requests made were:

- Broadway and Elisa hanging out (watching a movie here. Probably some Mystery Thriller. Cagney can come too)

- Puck with Alexander while Xanatos calling out that it’s his son’s bedtime (Puck and Xanatos look like 2 Dads here tho let’s be honest that’s basically what they are with Owen being babysitter most of the time…)

- Demona and Elisa fight!

- Goliath/Elisa love. Of course.

I have never drawn some of these characters before so it was fun.

Very Rough Draft

Goliath x Elisa/GoLisa

Title: Effeuillant la Marguerite( she loves me, she loves me not)

Summary: Happens after the Awakening series. Goliath learning to come to terms with Demona's abandonment and his developing feelings for Elisa.

"Why the long face?"

They were high above the clouds. Nothing new, not all that interesting, at least not for him. But, he watched Elisa constantly kept nervously glancing around, checking to make sure she wouldn't fall from the railing up above. 

"There's nothing to be afraid of. If you fall, I'll catch you" 

Elisa frowned before looking at him with bright, brown eyes "easy for you to say, you've got wings!" 

"Like I said I'll catch you" 

"So like parachuting without a parachute" she mumbled, not sounding all that reassured by his insistence. He did not know what a parachute was.

"A what?" 

"A parachute, its uh, um" she lifted her head in thought, tapping a finger against her bottom lip "it's like a large blanket that you tie to your back so you don't y'know-die." 

"I see, so you fly with it" 

"More like glide, like you do with your wings" 

"I see." 

He gazed over the railing, down below, his eyes grazing over all the lights and towers made of steel and glass, and the horseless carriages that zipped across the streets, though they varied in size, they all looked the same from his spot in the clouds.

It was still very hard to get used to.

All the lights, all the noise and commotion, even during the nightmare hours nothing stopped, the world kept going. Elisa had told him this place-New York, was known as the city that never sleeps.

It was a fitting phrase. Everything was always awake, always conscious that it nearly gave him a headache if he focused on all of it for too long. It ached for the quiet shore by the ocean side.

There in his free time he would walk and let his mind wander as he watched the ocean lap at the shore. His angel of the night would be by his side enjoying the quiet between them, in this solitude. It was their world and their world alone.

"You're frowning again?"

He didn't move to look at her. He wasn't sure what to say. To convey how he felt or how in a way she'd understand. Would she understand?

"Something on your mind?" 

"This world is rather loud, noisy. Sometimes it's hard to hear my own thoughts" 

"Oh?" She laughed a bit, it was an airy, lighthearted sound. It wasn't exactly mirthful, but it was not nervous either. He did not know to quite label it "I get it. It takes some time to get used to all the chaos." 

"Does it bother you?" 

"Hm? No, not really. I actually like all the noise" 

"Why?" 

"I don't know-" she pauses "I guess maybe I like it because it doesn't make me feel so lonely. Lets you know that they're still people out there. That despite everything, the world's still going. And that at least some things are still in one piece" 

"You feel lonely?" He'd argue that it was almost impossible to feel lonesome in all this array of life and light. Yet, did he not feel the same?

"Lonely?" Elisa shrugged "not particularly. I'm pretty used to living on my own. It'd be ridiculous after all this time, wouldn't it" 

"You don't have any family?"

"Of course!" She smiled "I have my younger siblings and my parents." 

"You don't live with them?"

"No, we all left the nest. Beth, my little sisters studying up at a college in Arizona. And Derek's a cop like me. And both my parents are retried"

It was all very strange to him. 

The separation of family.

"Gargoyle clans always stay together." 

"You don't leave the coup?"

"You mean the rookery. After we reach a certain age then yes, but that doesn't mean we leave Wyvern"

"So, you guys never left Wyvern? Like ever?"

"No. Why would we? It is-was our home."

"So, you guys didn't travel much huh?"

"No, that was far too dangerous to stray far. My time was always wrought with war and unrest. Not exactly a wise time to go milling about. Plus, where would we go? The humans at the castle hardly tolerated my kind, I doubt the humans after them would be far more welcoming" 

"You know I had to ask-"

"Yes?"

"If the humans hated you guys so much, why did you stay and protect them?" 

"Because it is our duty. The humans protect us during the day and we do so during the night. The humans only feared us, because they did not understand us. I would not give into hate because they chose to do so out of ignorance." 

"That's a rather benevolent way of thinking" to Elisa she thought the situation, or deal, pack, or whatever it was, was a rather lousy one. None of it seemed fair in any way. Their services were repaid in contempt. None of that was right. But, she didn't dare voice that sentiment out loud. Elisa got the feeling Goliath wouldn't take kindly to that, so she kept her mouth shut.

"It is what I was taught" then he stopped and considered it for a moment.

"What would you have done?" 

"Leave" 

She had his full attention now. A small shiver rode up her spine at the intensity of his stare.

"Why?" 

"Why wouldn't I?" Elisa entwined her fingers gazing over over the steel towers and glass buildings "I guess don't have any kind of desire to stick around where I'm not wanted" 

"What about duty? You said it yourself that your job was to protect and serve" 

"Well, yeah" she says "but, y'know big guy, you can't protect people who don't want to be protected and you can't serve people who don't want to be served. There's a limit to how much you can do. Relationships are supposed to be equal, there has to be a give and take on both ends. If one person is doing all the taking and the other is doing all the giving-how is that fair?" 

I keep thinking about a situation where Goliath has to carry Xanatos and them both being disgruntled about it. Goliath would probably carry him by his foot, let him dangle a few thousand feet in the air out of spite, but he'd preferably carry him by his throat.

In one case I can see Xanatos milking the experience for all it's worth, constantly trying to get under Goliath's skin to see how far he can push him under the circumstances.

"Don't you think that's a bit dangerous, dear"

"If he drops me, I win. And Goliath knows that"

"So, Goliath work out often?"

"I will drop you."

"And here I thought we kissed and made up"

"I will make sure you fall on your head"

"Ill probably be dead before I hit the asphalt"

"A pity."

Fox and Elisa find the scene freaking hilarious, though Elisa does try to talk Goliath into dropping the smug bastard; just to give him a little scare.
