Original title: Western Crossover: The Great Hamster King Decides to Raise a Little Human
[The Great Hamster King decides to raise a little human: a small Bludhaven cop who is always getting hurt. Dick pairing.]
[Synopsis]
Theodore is a fluffy, cream-colored, curly-haired hamster, but that's only his public identity. He also has a very, very secret identity: the Great Hamster King!
That's right! He's a hamster with status! Almost every little hamster in Bludhaven has to follow his orders!
Theodore has always been an ambitious little hamster. His goal is to make his hamster gang bigger and stronger, expanding his territory from ruling the hamsters of Bludhaven to becoming the Great Hamster King of the whole world!
At the same time, he plans to make those tall, thoroughly unadorable two-legged creatures work for him!
Theodore was thinking deeply about this as his tiny paws accepted another little snack from the little human he'd just started raising, then stuffed it into his mouth and nibbled away.
Theodore: (Munch munch) Who (munch munch) came up with (munch munch) these snacks? (munch munch) Why are they so delicious?!
Halfway through his snack, Theodore watched as his human picked him up in their hands. He was nearly lost in those smiling blue eyes.
The once courageous, decisive Great Hamster King was a little dazed as he thought: Actually, the two-legged creature I'm raising is pretty cute...
And so, at that moment, Theodore found himself a brand-new ambition: to raise this little Bludhaven cop, who was always getting hurt, until he was as tall and mighty as Theodore himself!
It's just a shame that this little human has no idea whose affection he's receiving. It's the love of the Great Hamster King!
What's more, Theodore often noticed that his human would suddenly get hurt and do all sorts of strange things. Sometimes, when he saw the things Theodore did, he would look utterly shocked.
Theodore had grown used to it by now. He deftly took a bandage almost as big as his whole body from the medical kit and handed it to his little human at just the right moment.
Bludhaven cop Dick Grayson: ...
He sighed and rubbed his forehead, then picked up the bandage his hamster had handed him. Sometimes he really wondered if this little hamster was some kind of enchanted creature. How could he be so smart?
Though... maybe it wasn't impossible?
Today, the human fell into deep thought once again.
Theodore, meanwhile, wore a worried expression. Humans and hamsters followed different paths, and being different species made it hard for him to take better care of his little human.
Not being able to look after his own human properly was a huge problem for the Great Hamster King!
He couldn't help looking at Dick and sighing. If only I could turn into a human, he thought, or my human could turn into a hamster.
Maybe heaven heard his wish at some point.
On an entirely ordinary day, while he was sleeping beside his little human, he suddenly transformed into a human himself!
Theodore: ???
Theodore: !!! Wow!!
Amazing!! Theodore thought. Now he could take even better care of his human from here on out!
The Great Hamster King didn't give a second thought to why his little human was staring at him in shock. How wonderful, how wonderful.
[Notes]
1. This is fanfiction with all sorts of headcanons and illogical plot points. Best read with your brain switched off. Theodore is a curly-haired golden hamster, and the hamster turns into a human.
2. There are stereotypes and out-of-character moments, with a chaotic mix of comic versions and the author's headcanons. This story is a mess, so read at your own risk.
3. This is a bottom-led story: Dick is the top, Theodore is the bottom.
Theme: With love, we are invincible.
