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

"Ok..." Ryoji nudge him gently. "Be safe, ok?" And then he'll fly off back towards the castle- it's faster when he's not carrying anyone, at least...

[tothealtar]

Kai will do his best, because he needs to stay safe to win and he needs to win in order to protect his people. So off they are, to defeat Levanan for once and forever.

[dangerouslyinlove]

Ryoji will fly back to the castle, acquire some more rather wary knights, and fly back without much trouble. If the group isn't there to meet them, however, he will go looking for them.

[tothealtar]

Kai isn't there, but one of the other knights is, to gather up the ones that Ryoji delivers and tell Ryoji that Kai wants the east wing of the castle set on fire. Everything is clearly going great.

[dangerouslyinlove]

Oh! Good, fire is finally a solution. Ryoji approves of this plan. He'll fly over the castle, roaring and breathing hot flame onto it. ...He might enjoy it a little bit too much.

[tothealtar]

And hey, it works pretty well as a signal to Kai that Ryoji is back. And while Levana's troops weren't expecting a sneak attack, they were also definitely not expecting a dragon, so it's really not too long before they decide to surrender, evacuating the burning part of the building.

After he accepts the surrender, Kai finds out that Levana has fled for parts unknown, but there's no guarantee she'll get a warm welcome there, and Kai is fine with it. He goes to find Ryoji.

[dangerouslyinlove]

Ryoji is currently a very happy dragon, because fire was helpful. He was keeping his eye on a squadron of surrendered soldiers, who were all too scared of him to move so that made his job very easy. Seeing Kai just perked him up more, his big dragon teeth in a smile (and... scaring everyone else all the more. He said he wouldn't eat them!). "You're back!"

[tothealtar]

Kai moves to Ryoji to wrap the dragon up in a hug -- or as much of one as he can manage with the size difference. "Yes. Thank you."

[dangerouslyinlove]

Ryoji snuggles in as much as he can- he wants a proper, human hug, but he doesn't have any of his clothes with him. Maybe later. "Do we go back now?"

[tothealtar]

It wouldn't be very comfortable with Kai in armor anyway. And there will be time, now.

"Yes, we should. I'll leave the rest of the knights to hold things."

[dangerouslyinlove]

Oh good. Ryoji gives him a happy face nudge before pulling away and crouching down. He's ready when you are. Though, he does need to clarify. "You need to go back to the castle, right?"

[tothealtar]

"Yes. To announce things and plan the future of the kingdom." No running off into the sunset, but... "You can stick with me after we get back or spend some time on your own if you'd prefer."

[dangerouslyinlove]

He wishes they could just go back to his cave, but he sort of figured that wouldn't be an option. "I'll stay," he says immediately. Ryoji won't leave, for as long as Kai will have him.

[tothealtar]

"I won't send you away again," Kai promises, and he wants to promise more, but first they have a political situation to take care of.

[dangerouslyinlove]

Oh good. That does make him feel better. Once Kai's securely on, Ryoji will take flight, soaring back to the castle. It doesn't take too long, but Ryoji makes it a tad more... leisurely than is strictly necessary,

[tothealtar]

Kai is too tired to call him on it, and besides, he'd only made the journey once and Ryoji had been burdened with more people at the time.

Instead he's focused on what he's going to say when he gets back, although really, telling his people they've achieved victory will be the easy part.

[dangerouslyinlove]

Once they land and Kai dismounts, Ryoji turns into his tiny dragon form and finds a perch on his shoulder, nudging him happily. He, as usual, doesn't understand the full political complexity of the situation... but he's happier than he's been since Kai turned him away.
