:older reader, flashbacks, lost lover, slight angst(?), young love:

Fire crackled in the distance as its warm light spread across the stone walls of castle McCracken like a blanket. An old (y/n) McCracken sat in her plush chair reading a book as songs played on a device that her great grandchildren had gotten her for her birthday just last year. All was calm and warm, as the cool crisp Scottish air outside whipped against the door, Mr.McCracken was out late at work as a gravekeeper for a historical grave sight so it was just (y/n) for the night.
As (y/n) went to turn the page a familiar chorus began to play out causing the young lass to pause in her tracks, her grip turned loose as the book gently hit the hardwood floor it's fall cushioned by the beautiful (y/f/c) persian rug sprawled out beneath her. 'Ae fond kiss, and then we sever.' (y/n) stood up grabbing a cashmere shawl and wrapping it around her shoulders before walking down the large hallway. 'Ae farewell and then forever.', upon the stone walls lay many paintings but one stood out like a sore thumb, its frame was gilded with intricate designs.
Within the frame borders lay a painting of many lassies and lads, but in the middle was the one and only Scrooge McDuck and (Y/n) McCracken holding hands, (y/n) closed her eyes with a soft smile as the memories came flooding back to her. It felt like it was only yesterday that she was just a young lass struck by a cupid's arrow in the middle of the gilded ballroom. (Y/n)'s hair was now a young (y/h/c) color and full, she wore a (y/f/c) dress and her (e/c) orbs stared at the decorated ceiling with wonder. As (y/n) lowered her gaze they met a young lads, was he staring at her? He turned his head quickly and flushed, stealing another quick glance before dancers blocked his way.
Soon (y/n) and other young lasses and lads lined up opposite to each other for their dance, and as if fate had bound them together for the night, (y/n) was standing in front of the young lad from the previous moment. 'Deep in heart- wrung tears I'll pledge thee, warring cries and groans ill wage thee!', as the music played (y/n) gently grasped the handsome stranger's hand and found herself within his grasp, his calloused hands on her waist, and her soft ones either in his free hand or on his shoulder. 'I'll ne'er blame my partial fancy, nothing could resist my nancy.', "Hello," he cooed sweetly in a hushed voice as they began to twirl around the other dancers. "Hello yourself." (y/n) cooed back in a flirtatious tone of voice as a blush began to crawl onto her face, The stranger couldn't help but give a warm chuckle towards her advances.
'Just to see her is tae lover her, lover but her and lover forever.', "My name is Scrooge, of clan McDuck." he introduced himself as he twirled her away and then pulled the frazzled young (y/n) back into him "And to whom do I owe the pleasure of dancing with?" he asked with a raised brow, causing the blush on (y/n)'s face to grow more, "(Y/n), of clan (L/n)." She responded, using her maiden name as she did not become a McCracken till later, "A bonnie lass of (l/n) alone at her own party?" he teased with a slight and very real shock in his voice. (y/n) chuckled "Ironic i know but truth be told," (y/n) trailed off before leaning in close to his ear to whisper "My dad has been scaring most of them off." Scrooge laughed a bit too loud causing some stares , he blushed and offered those who starred an apologetic smile.
Once the dance ended, (Y/n) led scrooge to a beautiful garden,filled with luscious greenery and beautiful flowers, the both of them laughed and flirted with each other as Scrooge told (y/n) his life and his aspirations, it made (y/n) fall harder for the ambitious young man. Her (e/c) orbs were glossy as she lovingly stared at Scrooge, he paused his rambling to stare back, her eyes were gorgeous, especially in the serene light of the moon.'had we never lov'd sae kindly, had we never lov'd sae blindly', Scrooge reached up into a yellow rose bush and picked the beautiful blossom off at the base so no thorns would prick his rose. He gently tucked the rose behind her ear before caressing her face which she happily leaned into with a soft warm hum.
They did everything together from that night on, a picnic in a park near the St. Andrews Lammas market, That day was so warm and lovely as scrooge laid his head in (y/n)'s lap and listened to her own dreams, his eyes soft as he admired the way the sun made her glow. And their first kiss in the pouring rain when Scrooge had forgotten his umbrella and they had to take shelter under an old willow tree, (y/n)'s dress was so muddy after that which caused her mother to get on her tail feathers but she didn't care, her lips were still tingingling from the sloppy yet romantic and needy kiss.
She was by his side when he set up his first 'business' at a local market selling tea blends that they made the night before in a rush because they had gotten distracted and blew off everything to go swimming in the lake near his parents cottage. 'Fare-thee-well thou first and fairest, Fare-thee-well thou best and dearest.', but the day had come where scrooge set sail to america, the night before they shared their last kiss and embrace before severing the ties of their courtship and the morning of (y/n) wore her dress of mourning as she watched the love of her life drag his luggage on deck before hugging his Ma goodbye.
'Thine be like a joy and treasure, peace, contentment, love and pleasure', (Y/n) tried so hard to keep it together as Scrooge approached her, he gently grasped her hands and held them caressing his thumb over her knuckles. "I got you something to remember me by," he said solemnly as he reached back and pulled out a McDuck tartan cashmere shawl, (y/n) was in awe as her glossy tear filled eyes finally met Scrooge's , "We might be far apart but i will always love you, and i hope you find someone who treats you like the queen and can give you the attention you need, even if it sadly isnt me." he flashed a sad smile as he lifted (y/n)'s chin with his thumb and fore finger before gently kissing her, 'Ae fond kiss and then we sever.'.
Tears spilled from both of them as they shared their last kiss, the boat's horn called for all passengers to board, Scrooge hesitantly pulled away from the crying lass and boarded. (y/n) raced after the boat in her dress "HEY! SCROOGE!" she called out, he turned back just in time to catch a golden locket with the initials (Y/N)(L/N) <3 SMD. he smiled as he fought back tears, 'Ae Farewell, alas, forever!'. "I LOVE YOU!" cried (y/n) as she wrapped the shawl around her, tears streaming down her face as she watched the boat disappear, "I LOVE YOU TOO (Y/N/N)!" he called back fondly.
'Deep in heart-wrung tears i'll pledge thee,', As the music faded out (y/n) came back to reality, a smile crawled across her face as her glossy eyes stared at the picture for just a bit longer, she wrapped the McDuck tartan cashmere shawl around her tighter and began to walk back to her spot in her comfy plush chair, passing by pictures of her and her husband, children and grandchildren. In America Mcduck was in his home office fiddling with the golden locket as he hummed, "Warring cries and groans i'll wage thee." he held the locket close to his heart before placing it back around his neck and joining his three grand nephews for yet another adventure.
