The Fairytale Meme
How it works:
1. pick a fairy tale
2. au our characters into it somehow, along the guidelines or not.
3. ignore the fact i shamelessly reposted this meme from three years ago
4. have good threads!

1. ALADDIN The classic rags to riches story. One's royalty, and one's not, and they'll do anything to win the heart of their beloved--or at least besotted--even if it means pretend to be rich.
2. SLEEPING BEAUTY A character has been cursed, doomed to sleep forever. Only true love's kiss can wake them up.
3. ALICE IN WONDERLAND Things have gotten curioser and curioser, as a character's transported deep into a magic land where things aren't quite what they seem. A magical court, a reigning queen, talking animals--whatever you have it, you think you probably need to get out of this place and back home. But will your partner help you or harm you?
4. THE LITTLE MERMAID You're a mermaid, for whichever reason. Falling in love with people who have legs is such a chore, but sometimes love requires sacrifice.
5. CINDERELLA. You've been searching for your true love for years, in hopes to rediscover them after a magical night. Will you thread the night itself, or perhaps the reunion--or anything in between?
6. SNOW WHITE Living in the forest is not so bad when you make friends. You hope someday your prince will come. Preferrably before someone realizes you're the fairest of them all and tries to kill you. At least that true love's kiss comes in handy!
7. THE FROG PRINCE Someone was once a handsome prince(ss) and they've been turned into an animal. True love's kiss, again, conquers all, so you better get to hopping. (Or leaping, or slithering...)
8. RAPUNZEL Rapunzellll! Let down your haiiiir! Being cooped up in a castle for all of your life has given you quite the sense of adventure, so why not let the person knocking on your door in? It must be safe, right? Right?
9. LITTLE RED RIDING HOOD Grandmother warned you not to go walking in those spooky old woods alone, but you did it anyway. With a wolf on your heels, you better start hoping the wolf is kinder than you think--or if not, that you'll run into a kind huntsman to help save the day. Or, even if not that, you'll rely on your powers of badassery to beat the wolf yourself!
10. GOLDILOCKS & THE THREE BEARS Someone's sleeping in your bed! Kick them out, let them stay. I'm not judging.c
11. TARZAN Someone isn't what you'd maybe call a functioning human being. But that's alright--being raised by monkeys (or wolves, or what have you) isn't a reason not to try and understand them. In fact, maybe you're intrigued by the way they look at life. They could certainly teach you as much as you taught them.
12. PINOCCHIO You're a real boy! Whether you were a puppet or a robot, something--and who only knows what--has turned you into a human. Maybe it was just the love of your creator. Maybe it was a little fairy. Who knows.
13. BEAUTY AND THE BEAST Hope you like your prince/sses furry.
14. OTHER. Seriously, knock yourself out.

Feel free to ignore the prompts completely and just use the name of the fairy tale--twisted fairytales, once upon a time style fairy tales...everything is fair game. also half of you are monsterfuckers so i expect this to get nsfw

[ There's been rumors in the village that witches have been sighted in the nearby settlements, that they're up to no good, trying to charm people away from their families. Trying to curse them. Turn them into ingredients for their dark magicks.

Kon doesn't believe in any of that bull, generally. Sure, witches exist - magic exists, too, of course - but he hasn't really seen any evidence of a witch doing the things that everyone panics over. It definitely sounds like a bunch of fearmongering, and he's pretty sure that the old man had plenty of witches coming into his restaurant while he was still -

His thoughts snap away from the bitter memories, the speculation, the same moment that the twig snaps. He immediately goes on alert, nearly dropping the groceries that he'd bought at the market to bring into the lonely house. ]

Who's there!? [ No one really comes around this end of the village anymore. Kon's startled by the sudden sound. ]

[Oh no, that boy saw her. He's more alert than she gave him credit for. Robin couldn't put him under a sleep spell that would make things worst. Then again she didn't know if that spell would hurt him since he was a child. She was too weak to turn into a cat or any other kind of animal even if she managed the spell she wouldn't be able to keep the form for long. There had to be something she could do.

Well, there was something, she just hoped it wouldn't come back to bite her.

Robin slowly walked out of the bushes with her hands up.]

My apologies. I didn't know anyone lived out here. You see, I'm new here I don't know where to go so I came out here to rest for awhile. Do you live here? Are you waiting for your parents?
