“Oh! Hello, Wally,” she started, seeming embarrassed to be caught. “I…I was trying to… It’s so silly, but I wanted to try my hand at making clothes. I know I can form my own.” And she did, demonstrating for him again how she could control the attire she wore, it being literally a second skin. “But this seems much more personal. I’d love to make presents, too! This is complicated, though.”

She lifted her work up where he could see, the project a mess of holes and sloppy lines that reminded him of his own early attempts.

Smiling, he leaned in closer and asked, “Hey, want me to show you a secret? You can’t tell a soul, though.”

Perplexed, but intrigued, M’gann slowly nodded and listened to his explanations. Her expression brightened upon her discovery that Wally not only understood the task of crocheting, but was an excellent teacher, too. He started her small, eventually working her up to creating a small Hello Kitty handbag to match her beret. At one point it did get out of hand, with M’gann unleashing her newfound hobby to all reaches of their secret headquarters: doilies on the tables, handmade ornaments hanging from the ceiling, and even the bathrooms had cozies to cover the Kleenex boxes.

“You’ve created a monster,” Robin remarked one evening, both he and Wally staring at the transformation the cave had gone through in their absence. Despite swearing M’gann to secrecy, Wally wasn’t shocked to find that Robin had figured out who was behind the initial concept.

“Gotta admit it really warms up the place, at least.”

“Yeah, I figured you’d say that, Kid Grandma.”

“That doesn’t even make sense,” Wally protested. His friend would never let him live this down.

This was perfect! Even without Aunt Iris, it was perfect! The leg warmers (hello anon! He totally would make them for himself), and how he doesn't just make hats for everyone, but little personalized things! And Wally helping M'gann at the end.... So cute!

And this line? "She demonstrated using a skull and crossbones on her own project, reciting that she worried her oldest son got cold when he rode on his Harley. Apparently she knew this from experience, since she owned two of her own." I love you. How did you know what kind of Grandma I want to be when I grow up? XD

So, yeah, this is amazing. Just so you know. Thank you so much!

As a person required to valiantly defend myself against constant suggestions that I should learn to knit, I didn't expect to enjoy this nearly as much as I did.
Bravo, anon, bravo. It was sweet, cute, and I totally sympathized with Wally at the beginning and adored his reasons for still coming back even when he doesn't need to. Thank you, anon! This was great!

(This is because of where you live, it can't be helped. You will eventually succumb, I fear)

I too loved this fill, it was adorable- and oh GOD, I'd love to see what Megan does with the place! :3
