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

Ryoji is mostly oblivious to how much trouble he could easily be in thanks to this.

"I guess..." But just because he wouldn't have kept you there doesn't mean he doesn't want to.

[tothealtar]

"Maybe I need to be kidnapped by someone else so you can rescue me."

At this Rikan looks back at his son. "You're not getting kidnapped just now. Again. Or," he continues after a moment longer, "Married."

Kai considers that. It's good, right?

[dangerouslyinlove]

Ryoji brightens, since that sounds like a good idea, but then Kai's dad shoots it down. He's... not entirely sure either of those things are strictly good, but it's awfully hard to tell. "Then... what should we do?" The king clearly doesn't need them so they can just leave, right?

[tothealtar]

The King gives Ryoji a long look. "Don't leave the palace grounds. Either of you."

And then he leaves them be, because he needs to figure out the rest of this situation.

And Kai wraps his hand around Ryoji's wrist and focuses on getting out of there.

[dangerouslyinlove]

Well, that's probably ok. This place is pretty big, and Ryoji's used to mostly sticking around caves. He'll happily follow Kai out, still mostly oblivious to the seriousness of the situation. "Did that go alright?"

[tothealtar]

Kai shakes his head. "I don't think so, but it's out of our control now. At least I don't have to get married any time soon." Although then what is the kingdom going to do to secure its future?

[dangerouslyinlove]

Ryoji smiles at that, at least, nuzzling him- a gesture that works much better as a dragon than as a boy. "That's good, though, right?"

[tothealtar]

Kai cocks his head, not quite certain what Ryoji is doing, but then he relaxes at the question. "Yes. Do you get lonely, where you are?"

[dangerouslyinlove]

Ryoji nods. "There aren't a lot of dragons around... and most people don't want to talk to me." It's very upsetting.

[tothealtar]

"Why not?" That seems very suspicious, and Ryoji isn't mean or anything.

[dangerouslyinlove]

"Because I'm a dragon." Most people don't need more of a reason than that.

[tothealtar]

"But not, like, a mean one." That's important to distinguish!

[dangerouslyinlove]

"Well, no. But most people don't want to ask first." Seeing as mean dragons kind of eat people.

[tothealtar]

"Isn't there a way for you to show them that? I wasn't scared the first time we met."

[dangerouslyinlove]

Ryoji thinks about this. "I was in the smaller form when I first met you... that was the first time I ever used it. Maybe that would help with other people?"

[tothealtar]

"I think so." Kai smiles brightly. Ryoji is nice, he deserves to have more friends.

[dangerouslyinlove]

"Then... maybe I'll be able to try sometime!" Ryoji grins back. "Though, I guess I'm supposed to stay here for now, right?" And he doesn't much want to leave Kai.

[tothealtar]

"Do you need to go somewhere where you can relax back to your normal state?"

[dangerouslyinlove]

Ryoji nods. "Eventually, yeah." He can wait a little bit, if need be.

[tothealtar]

"How soon is eventually?" Kai wants to make sure he's prepared.

[dangerouslyinlove]

Ryoji pauses, thinking. "Well... I should be able to last until the end of the day no problem, but I've never slept in this form before. Do I need to? It might be a good idea for me to take a break from it before then..."

[tothealtar]

"We'll just have to find a big room that my dad won't get mad at me for taking over. Everyone knows you're a dragon already. And I'll stay with, to keep you safe." Because that makes sense, Kai.

[dangerouslyinlove]

It makes Ryoji happy, even if protecting him is actually a rather silly idea. He nudges his head against Kai's again since dragon affection is something he doesn't have to think about, and he's still learning about human ones. "Thanks."

[tothealtar]

Kai laughs, and lifts a hand to pat Ryoji on the head. That makes it less awkward, right? "We're still going to be friends."

[dangerouslyinlove]

Totally! It's not awkward at all! Never was. "Oh, good! I'm glad." He likes being friends.
