Heavy is the Crown

Summary:

Vlad no longer wants the crown, but it's a bit too late for that. Danny's already handed it over.

Notes:

What happens when I start listening to Linkin Park's Heavy is the Crown right after reading Halfagone's The Crown Debacle?

This. This is what happens.

(See the end of the work for more notes.)

Work Text:

"Y'know what? You nearly killed us all for this damn thing in the first place. You nearly ended me multiple times. You can have it."

Danny flung the Crown of Fire at Vlad, who was still sprawled in the dirt after his last assault on Danny.

The Crown caught on fire halfway there.

Vlad's wide eyes followed it's trajectory.

Danny's throw was true--it landed on Vlad's stomach, and the flames grew higher. A nauseating sizzle filled the air.

Vlad tried to roll away, to grab it, but it refused to allow him to grasp it or escape it.

"This is what you asked for, right? To take the weight of the crown off my shoulders?"

Vlad started begging Danny to remove it as it started slowly sinking, still burning, into his abdomen. Bright green ectoplasm started oozing out.

"You wanted the crown. You were willing to end me for it. But I'm not sure you can bear the weight."

Danny stood up and glared at Vlad, pausing to make one last statement before he left.

"Don't forget, Vlad: Heavy is the crown."

Notes:

This is part of a series of Fidgets - things I randomly mess with. No expectation of it being continued, but if it is, I'll add another chapter. These are basically ideas that got out of my head and into the computer, and I randomly add another 3 words, but they aren't actually going anywhere currently.

If you'd like to take one and run with it, go for it (and let me know so I can read it)!

If you'd like to see if I add on to something, subscribe to either the series or the work. Each idea will be a separate work for ease of access and updating. Please read the tags and summary for each work, as some may not be your cup of tea.

Oh, and canon? Fuggedabout it. I read way too much (both fanfic and comics) to keep sorted what's canon and what's not and what's canon arguing with itself and...
