a bit of lore from this little prince inspired au:

in this version, the aviator and the prince meet around their late teens. a boy that was forced to grow up too fast and a boy who grew up and remained loyal to his unwavering, guileless imagination

each chapter of the little prince is Arthur’s diary entries dedicated to his best friend, François, whom he lost contact with, but memories of their friendship have left a long lasting impression on him

le petit prince embodies François’ seemingly childishly sanguine, yet deeply philosophical outlook on living — a resilient ability to always see the good in things and think outside the confines of reality, something Arthur deeply admires about him

every character in the little prince chronicles is imbued with bits and pieces of Arthur’s personality, experiences, and emotions, alongside representing greater societal structures and values and people Arthur has gotten to know throughout his life (further inspired by personalities François had described to him in his silly anecdotes). The King, Conceited Man, Businessman, Fox, and Rose are each a collaborated exhibition in the museum of everyone François and Arthur have ever met.
