Fairytale AU Meme [Open]

[firesealed]

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

"Is that how it works?" Ryoji is not terribly familiar with that particular idea, especially since he's had more experience on the other side of things. "...You know the dragon usually gets killed in those stories, right?" He doesn't want to kidnap him if he gets killed in the end. That seems like a bad thing.

[tothealtar]

“And it’s usually a princess.” As if that proves Kai’s point somehow. “You could just let me go when someone show up to rescue me. And you wouldn’t have to keep me in a cave all the time. We could go on some adventures and see more of the world.” Because trading the castle for a cave doesn’t seem like as much fun.

[dangerouslyinlove]

"Oh..." Huh. That's sort of an idea. Though, Ryoji knows knights can be dumb and wouldn't listen and he'd probably at least have to fight them a little. He doesn't want to burst Kai's bubble, though. "That does sound kind of fun!"

[tothealtar]

Kai grins, lighting up. “So, would you do it, then?” It would be really great to have an adventure, and not have to focus on his lessons or making public appearances for a while.

[dangerouslyinlove]

Ryoji tilts his head, thinking for a moment (which is a comical look on an already hilariously small dragon). "I guess so..." he says, hesitantly, "When?"

[tothealtar]

"What about right now?" If it's a kidnapping, then Kai doesn't have to say goodbye, although maybe he should pack things. Speaking of which... "Are we going to have to steal a horse? I don't think you could carry me."

[dangerouslyinlove]

Wow, apparently kidnapping people takes a lot of thought. Who knew! "Not like this, no. I'm usually bigger but I probably shouldn't do that. Maybe at night I could."

[tothealtar]

"Tonight?" Kai is really excited about this, sorry not sorry. But then he frowns. "I can't promise no one would see you." If that were the case he could just run away, even if that wouldn't be as exciting as being kidnapped.

[dangerouslyinlove]

"I know." He's a dragon- it would be really hard for no one to see him. "Which one do you want to do?" It's your kidnap fantasy, after all.

[tothealtar]

But it can be everyone's kidnap reality! "Tonight would be fine. I just have to write a note for my dad, so he doesn't worry." Because that's how kidnapping works, right?

[dangerouslyinlove]

"Ok." Ryoji... has no idea how kidnapping works, and Kai's thought about this a lot so he probably knows more. And people not worrying sounds like a good thing! (And really Kai doesn't know where Ryoji's cave is so it's not like he'll be able to leave directions.)

[tothealtar]

"Where, um, should we meet, once it's dark?" Kai doesn't know how large of a space Ryoji will require.

[dangerouslyinlove]

"Um..." The little dragon tilts his head, thinking, "Where can you get to?" If there's like an astronomy tower or anywhere were he could actually land that would be nice...

[tothealtar]

"All sorts of places." They should all...be visible from the sky. "But not outside of the palace grounds." Because that's helpful.

[dangerouslyinlove]

"Is there a roof or something you can get on? Mostly I just need a place to land. Isn't there a flat tower or something people go up on?" He only knows that because he tried to see what they were doing once and then there was magic being thrown at him and he didn't like it.

[tothealtar]

"Oh. Yes, I can get to the observatory. That would work. Do you need me to pick up supplies or anything?"

[dangerouslyinlove]

"Just stuff you would need, I guess." Kai probably wants to bring some of his own people food. Ryoji doesn't have a lot.

[tothealtar]

That probably means luxuries. It almost certainly means that, right? And maybe Kai should grab a pillow or something. Caves are hard. But food is everywhere.

"Alright. An hour after sunset, or something like that?"

[dangerouslyinlove]

They are both so bad at this.

Ryoji will nod, flying back up to perch on the window. "Ok! I'll come and get you then!" This will be fun!

[tothealtar]

Kai wrote a very careful letter to his father, explaining why he thinks this is necessary without saying where he's going or even mentioning dragons.

And then he goes to the tower with just a pillow and some paper and a pen. (This is totally a sleepover.)

[dangerouslyinlove]

(It will be the best sleepover.)

Ryoji will come to the tower a few minutes after sundown- he is considerably larger now, though still not huge as most dragons. He's the same shape as he was before, at least, sleek and black with those bright blue eyes as he lands on the Tower. "Ready?"

[tothealtar]

Now he looks like he can hold Kai, and Kai finds himself feeling a little intimidated for a moment. He stands where he is, before he regains himself.

"Yeah."

[dangerouslyinlove]

He still has all the mannerisms of the dorky little dragon if that helps?

Ryoji hums, regarding Kai for a moment. "Should I carry you or do you want to get on my back and hold on?"

[tothealtar]

That does help a lot, besides, this is how it needed to work.

"On your back, if you can carry my things?"

[dangerouslyinlove]

"Ok!" He'll crouch down so Kai can climb up on his back. The scales around his neck can be held on to, but for the most part he's very streamlined.
