wingedbeastScene 1: Flashback to the Wyvern Castle in Scotland in the Middle Ages. Setting: the rookery
Goliath steps in and points a finger to a corner.
(The trio is not named yet in continuity, but I'm still using their names for ease)
Brooklyn: We didn't start this fight. I know we're not supposed to fight with the humans, but we do have to defend ourselves when they-
Goliath: When the humans are those under our protection, you defend yourselves by taking wing.
Brooklyn: Not when a rookery brother is captured and facing a beating or worse, we don't.
Goliath narrows his eyes and growls out a sigh.
Lexington: Before you say it, we didn't antagonize them. Some of them were among the guests and they were saying how the bible was against Gargoyles. I just pointed out that it wasn't. The only beast was seven headed and had a number for a name and...
Goliath: How do you know these things?
Lexington: I read it.
Goliath: It's in Latin.
Lexington: I had to figure that out.
Broadway: He likes to know things. It's been useful before. Remember when he fixed the scaffolding during those repairs back...
Goliath: That is no mind. They believe it and the captain of the guard has told me that they take issue with you, especially. *to Lexington*
Lexington: Why me?
Goliath: You were seen talking to your brother.
Lexington: What of it? I'm not to be a child forever, breeding time is coming up and...
Goliath: Their faith has something to say on that.
Lexington: Very little. There's a couple lines here and there. There's a lot more, in a lot of places, about tending to the poor, loving your neighbor as yourself, caring for widows and orphans.
Broadway: I don't know, brother. Humans do like to miss the point of stories.
Brooklyn: They don't even know how we tell each other apart without names.
Lexington tilts his head.: How would names help us tell each other apart? I mean, you have a beak. I don't.
Brooklyn shrugs.
Goliath: Never mind that. However much the book speaks on it, they have thoughts on it and this alliance is growing more tenuous. Soon, the princess will be the one to lead and we need give her the least, possible excuse to turn on us.
Brooklyn narrows his eyes: What are you saying?
Goliath still to Lexington: I'm saying that you will have to court in private, if at all, no letting the humans see it.
Brooklyn: Is this a command to the whole of the Clan?
Goliath: It doesn't need to be.
Broadway: Uh, not to speak against you, but it kind of has to be. Even I know the lore of Gargoyle clans that turned against their own. Good things don't happen after that.
Brooklyn: A threat against one Clan sibling is a threat against all.
Goliath looks to Brooklyn and Broadway: You are willing to take on this task, making the humans believe no Gargoyle knows a life-long mating?
Brooklyn: We are a Clan.
Scene 2: Work crew talking to a foreman.
Worker 1: Isn't that castle haunted? I mean, I'm not all that superstitious, but...
Foreman: Look at how much he's paying.
Worker 2: Okay, that's a lot of zeroes... and it's on the right side of the number.
Worker 1: But, why would he want to?
Foreman: Listen, he's rich. He can get away with this kind of thing. It's called eccentric.
Worker 1: So, what, he wants a piece of the castle?
Foreman: Nope, the entire thing. He wants to take apart the castle, stone by stone, and fly the whole thing over to rebuild it in New York... on top of a skyscraper.
Worker 2: Don't the Americans have... any regulations? Because, this has to violate all of them.
Foreman: Rich. You see the offer.
Scene 3: After the show proper gets started and after Xanatos is released from prison. On top of a castle tower.
Xanatos: Oh, I don't know, Owen. They may have stopped me from-
Owen: You don't always have to put on the act for me, sir.
Xanatos: What?
Owen: This is a frequent pattern, Mr. Xanatos. You invest extensive resources, time, and personal effort into a project. The primary visible goal of the project is thwarted by the Gargoyles. You have some secondary benefit. You call that the real win.
Xanatos: Well, it is the real win.
Owen: It's not all getting Fox out of prison, sir. Sometimes, it's just testing your exo-suit... You do realize you can test your exo-suit without needing to go directly into battle against the Gargoyles.
Xanatos: It's really getting on your nerves, isn't it Owen?
Owen: I find it less than productive, sir. It's entirely acceptable to admit that you have not achieved all you desired.
Xanatos: Thank you, Owen. I'll work on that.
Owen: Thank you, sir.
Scene 4: During the time when the Goliath chronicles aren't happening. Setting: Tower of the Wyvern Castle set on-top a skyscraper.
Elisa runs into the common room. Hudson is sitting on the recliner. Bronx sits beside, both watching TV while Broadway sets out something he made for lunch.: Hudson, Broadway, we just learned something.
Hudson turns off the TV: What is it, lass?
Elisa: Hudson, Broadway, you're father and son.
Broadway looks confused: Uh, we already knew that, Elisa. Hudson's one of the clan fathers.
Elisa: No, I mean also biologically. Hudson, you are Broadway's biological father!
Hudson looks to Broadway. Broadway look to Hudson. They shrug. Both: Humans.

All my stories have been posted there, and I think they can be accessed without a log in, if you want to get an idea of the weirdness you're in store for.
And here are the arts for the story in progress I'm writing (NSFW):
