Pick one of my characters and I'll toss a disney/fairytale au scenario at you! I've got some rough descriptions of their roles below. You can start, or you can just give their name in a top-level and I’ll write something up. These can be shippy or not, although given the descriptions I’ll probably tend towards that way unless you tell me you don’t want that

Alec: Damsel in distress, suicidal, who thinks this whole thing is stupid and this story can be ended if anyone at any point just solves the problem of the ‘princess’ for good

Annabel: Necromancer, who tries to find love by bringing hers back from the dead

Dominic: Knight, who’s pretty sure that he’s supposed to slay the ‘dragon’ but might end up falling in love with him/her instead

I-No: The evil witch, finds delight in other people’s suffering

Ivy: The persecuted heroine, who badly wants to believe in love but doesn’t really believe that it can trump the facts of life

Kai: Prince charming, careful and earnest, hugely romantic who thinks that life’s course can be changed by love

Ky: Either the hero, earnest but not very good at people, or the damsel in distress who’s going to apologize for having to be rescued

Rose: Ghost girl, who will accept a coat in exchange for being able to touch and feel for a while

Sol: The dragon, why are you waking him up from his nap just to rescue a princess? He doesn’t have time for this crap.

Valentine: The evil king whose goal in all of this is power and also just seeing the ordinary people scramble

This is one of the larger ones they've thrown. They really like you and what you've done for your people.

[Venom almost follows up with 'I like you too' but that would have been awkward. He's going to move on to another dish.]

I don't need thanks.

[Really, he would have done it anyway.]

It's enough for people to be saved.

You have a kind heart, Sir Kiske.

[Without thinking, the prince places his hand on Ky's chest. His warm resonates through Venom briefly before he realizes what he's doing.]

S-sorry.

[He quickly pulls away.]

[Ky's cheeks are pink, and he ducks his head.]

I-It's fine.

[Ky shouldn't feel so self-conscious about it, at least.]

Let me get you something to drink.

[He fetches a servant to grab them both a little bit of wine. A short while later, the servant returns with two small goblets.]

This is from my family's favorite vineyard. It's not easily found outside our kingdom.

Oh. Thank you.

[Ky takes a small sip, then offers up a polite smile.]

[Venom takes a slightly larger sip.]

And if you need anything at all, do not hesitate to ask. You are our honored guest.

[A slight blush graces his cheeks.]

Ah, thank you.

I'm not -- I can survive just fine in the field, so I'm sure I'll be fine here.

Then please, enjoy.

[Venom steps aside, though he wants to talk more to the young hero. But that means being social... He takes a deep breath.]

I can only imagine how many places you've seen, Sir Kiske.

A number, I suppose.

Is there any in particular which you'd like to hear of?

Is it true you once went to a land where they had numerous dragons and you had to fight them all?

Not quite.

[Ky's smile is soft and embarrassed]

It's true that there were many of them, but there was a range. In the end I only had to fight four of them, and only two at once.

That's amazing. The only dragons I've ever seen are those common green ones. And even then it's only in the distance.

I cannot imagine fighting four of them!

[Ky colors a little, embarrassed and unsure of how to react.]

It's just what was necessary.

Still, you're very brave.

But admittedly, I've never left our kingdom. I wish I was brave like you so I could see the world like you have.

Perhaps it would be better if, the first time, you had a companion that you trusted.

A companion?

[Does that mean...?]

Would you be willing to escort me, Sir Kiske?

Certainly, if you wished.

You might be safer with another, however.

My path frequently takes me into danger, although I would do my best to protect you.

[But to be with the great hero Ky Kiske... it's a dream come true!]

I would prefer traveling with you at my side.

Then, if your father agrees, you can leave when I do.

[Venom nods and runs off to tell his noble parents. They pull him aside and seemingly tell him something that dashes Venom's hopes. The young prince huffs and storms away, returning to Ky somewhat defeated.]

He doesn't think I should go, but I do not agree. I will be joining you tomorrow morning.

I don't wish to create strife between you and your parents...

It's all right. I will talk to them again after the festivities. I'm sure they will see the merit in my traveling with you.

Perhaps. I can understand their desire to keep you safe.

Yes, but I don't like not knowing my own kingdom. And I want to see the others in person. Not just from a map.

[As the celebration begins to subside, Venom returns to his family, explaining again why he wants to go with the great hero. This time it's a little longer, but he returns to the handsome knight with a smile on his face.]

My apologies for keeping you waiting, Sir Kiske. They said I can accompany you, but I must take a couple of our guards if that's all right with you.
