Fairytale AU Meme [Open]

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

Kai nods, decisive at last. "Then let's do this." He tries to quiet his conscience with the knowledge that Levana won't easily tolerate a dragon anyway.

Ryoji nods, and maybe there's a little dragon kiss, very happy that Kai doesn't hate him and wants to be rid of this terrible, terrible queen. "Ok," he says, and he gets off Kai's shoulder to transform into his full form, waiting for Kai to get on.

Kai has made his decision, and he refuses to question it further. Instead he makes himself comfortable on Ryoji's back, not taking anything. He's being kidnapped, after all.

Once Kai is secure, Ryoji takes off, and it is not terribly subtle. Which... is not great, really, but there's nothing they can really do about that. He soars through the air, quick as he can, landing only once they're in the security of his cave. He waits until Kai gets off, happily nuzzling against his face again.

[personal profile] tothealtar 2016-07-31 01:14 am (UTC)(link)
Kai climbs off, and assesses the cave. It's been a while since he's been here, but it doesn't quite quiet his worries. He needs to come up with a plan, actions for what he's going to do next.
dangerouslyinlove: (Ryoji [You think so?])

[personal profile] dangerouslyinlove 2016-07-31 01:19 am (UTC)(link)
It's mostly the same as it was, just... there are some scorch marks in places there didn't used to be but it's totally fine, don't worry about it. "Are you ok?" Ryoji asks, curling around him.
tothealtar: (charming: laughing)

[personal profile] tothealtar 2016-07-31 01:30 am (UTC)(link)
"I'm getting there," Kai answers, because there's not really another option, and because with Ryoji curled around him he's losing the impulse to pace. Instead he settles down against the dragon.

[personal profile] dangerouslyinlove 2016-07-31 01:36 am (UTC)(link)
Ryoji smiles a toothy dragon grin, settling around Kai and happier than he's been in a while. This is where Kai is supposed to be, in his mind, and it brings a sense of peace he's been missing to have him back. He wonders if he still has any of the clothes Kai got him... he still has the gold shirt, and there's probably a pair of pants he didn't burn...
tothealtar: (emotion: decisions)

[personal profile] tothealtar 2016-07-31 01:46 am (UTC)(link)
Kai feels obligated to his people, of course he does, but for an evening he's willing to try to accept that there's nothing else he can do.
dangerouslyinlove: (Ryoji [Happiness])

[personal profile] dangerouslyinlove 2016-07-31 01:48 am (UTC)(link)
After a while of just being curled around him, Ryoji will carefully get up and pad off to his hoard. It takes a few minutes, but he comes back and is human- and he did find a pair of pants, luckily (and the blindingly gold shirt). He comes and sits next to Kai, leaning into him.
tothealtar: (neutral: nervous)

[personal profile] tothealtar 2016-07-31 11:04 pm (UTC)(link)
Kai can't help the smile at seeing Ryoji in that shirt, all glittering and bright. It reminds him of better, happier times.

"I missed you," Kai admits, quietly.
dangerouslyinlove: (Ryoji [Happiness])

[personal profile] dangerouslyinlove 2016-07-31 11:06 pm (UTC)(link)
Something in Ryoji's heart flutters to hear him say that. "I missed you too," he says, nuzzling into the boy. He's... a little afraid to kiss him again, given what it got him last time.
tothealtar: (emotion: biting tongue)

[personal profile] tothealtar 2016-09-04 07:46 pm (UTC)(link)
Kai's smile softens, and then he leans back against Ryoji. "We should sleep, and focus on a more long-term solution."
dangerouslyinlove: (Ryoji [Happiness])

[personal profile] dangerouslyinlove 2016-09-04 07:54 pm (UTC)(link)
Ryoji nods, his arms wrapped around Kai and not particularly keen on moving anytime soon. Sleep sounds like a good solution to that. "Alright," he agrees, "We'll figure out something tomorrow, ok?"
tothealtar: (charming: distracted)

[personal profile] tothealtar 2016-09-11 05:37 pm (UTC)(link)
Kai nods. They don't have much time, but they need more than they have, that's the whole point of this exercise, of disappearing with Ryoji. Kai's made too many decisions already without the ability to think them over.
dangerouslyinlove: (Ryoji [Happiness])

[personal profile] dangerouslyinlove 2016-09-11 05:50 pm (UTC)(link)
Kai can think later. He needs to get some rest, and Ryoji will help by cuddling him to him. Cuddling makes it harder to think, he's pretty sure. And he's just really, really happy Kai's back.
tothealtar: (Default)

[personal profile] tothealtar 2016-09-11 06:02 pm (UTC)(link)
It's almost remarkable how safe Kai feels, nestled against Ryoji, and how well he sleeps. Better than he has in weeks, that much is clear, and when he wakes he does feel better.

And he knows that his level of fear is something he cannot allow his citizens to bear. "I think it's going to need to be war, swift and decisive. How many troops could you carry inside of her borders?"

Because that means the same thing as 'good morning', right?
dangerouslyinlove: (Ryoji [Huh?])

[personal profile] dangerouslyinlove 2016-09-11 06:54 pm (UTC)(link)
That is not at all what 'good morning' is.

Ryoji transformed back into a dragon sometime in the early morning hours- he can hold the human form for much longer now, but he can't quite make it through the night. He's still a little groggy when he wakes up, so initially Kai's comment is greeted with some blinking.

"What?" Hang on, Ryoji will just rub at his face to wake himself up a little more. "Um... I don't know? It might depend on how heavy their armor and stuff is. Probably ten, more without armor. But I could do more than one trip."
tothealtar: (charming: gesture)

[personal profile] tothealtar 2016-09-11 07:39 pm (UTC)(link)
10. Hmm. It's a possibility, at least, and 20 would be easier. More than two trips would probably take too long, unless they could hide somewhere. Still, it's a voyage of too many days by foot, so it's not as though they could be expected.

"How long to get to Levana's castle from the border?"
dangerouslyinlove: (Ryoji [You think so?])

[personal profile] dangerouslyinlove 2016-09-11 07:44 pm (UTC)(link)
"Not long," Ryoji answers, clued into the conversation properly now. ...Not gonna stop him from nuzzling Kai's face, though. He thinks you probably still need more resting time. "Usually it would be less than an hour, but with people it might be a little bit longer."
tothealtar: (emotion: biting tongue)

[personal profile] tothealtar 2016-09-11 07:58 pm (UTC)(link)
Kai blushes a little at the nuzzle, but otherwise tries to keep his thread of conversation. "Do you need to rest more before you'll be ready?" Clearly Kai is rested enough, he came up with a plan and everything!
dangerouslyinlove: (Ryoji [Invitation])

[personal profile] dangerouslyinlove 2016-09-11 08:00 pm (UTC)(link)
Ryoji nudges at his face. "Do you?" Coming up with a plan doesn't mean everything is fine, you looked super miserable yesterday and you probably need more sleep. Or possibly hugs.
tothealtar: (cinder: holding hands)

[personal profile] tothealtar 2016-09-11 08:54 pm (UTC)(link)
Kai smiles, and it manages to be mostly positive. He can sleep as long as he wants once they're done and he feels well enough to manage this.

"I asked after you. I'm fine."
dangerouslyinlove: (Ryoji [Not sure about this])

[personal profile] dangerouslyinlove 2016-09-11 09:00 pm (UTC)(link)
Mostly positive is better than it was before, but still. Ryoji turns into a tiny dragon and crawls into Kai's lap, looking up at him. "Are you sure?" he asks, "If you're still tired... it's important for you to be at your best, before we do this."
tothealtar: (thoughtful: black and white)

[personal profile] tothealtar 2016-09-11 10:15 pm (UTC)(link)
Kai grits his teeth and picks up Ryoji. "Yes, I'm sure. Don't keep asking after that." He sets Ryoji on the floor next to him. "I'm still waiting for your answer."
