Becky's skills as a Makeover Specialist must not be downplayed; the girl is a ~genius~. Also, sometimes something as simple as a new hairstyle and/or new clothes can really change a person's view of themselves for the better, and I think Demetrius (who always focused his attention inward, not outward) would be a prime candidate for realizing there is more to himself if given the opportunity. And maybe that's a bit of wish fulfillment of my own sneaking through, too. I'd LOVE it if someone came around and said, "Here is how you should do your hair and fix your makeup and these clothes are the ones that will suit you best," because that stuff is DIFFICULT to figure out on your own! lol
Demetrius being super smug about Tony once he finds out he's a moron is a trait I HC he shares with Damian. Both Desmond boys are arrogant about their innate superiority to a degree, and when it comes to the girl they like, they're almost unbearable about it. Demetrius has had more polishing and training so he keeps it mostly internal, but even he can't let opportunities to take a dig at Tony slip.
Becky and Ewen are still darlings of my heart and I will get back to THEIR story soon enough, but I agree that Becky/Demetrius has a LOT of potential. I might even write more for this pairing if I suddenly discover extra hours in the day and don't overburden myself with other fics in the meantime...
As always, thank you so much for reading and writing such wonderful comments. I'm really glad we are fandom friends and I respect you a lot as a writer and fellow fan, so having your support is really amazing. :)
