I'm avoiding doing my homework so I thought instead of doomscrolling I'd share a g/t AU I made a while ago so I at least get my writing juices flowing
You can find drawings from this AU here, here and here
In this AU, Hunter and Asher are both princes who had a curse cast upon them that would take effect once they turned 21. Hunter has yet to be affected by the curse since he's 18, Asher on the other hand...
Despite them being cursed, they still have royal responsibilities to attend to. This day, Asher had an important lunch meeting with the princess of another kingdom, so their parents could discuss the possibility of uniting the families through them. The meeting was supposed to only last a couple of hours, and the foreign royal family absolutely had to leave before sundown. However, a huge storm hit the kingdom, and the other royal family couldn't leave safely, so against their will, the royal family offered them to stay in the castle overnight.
The princess, Tulip, was eager to hear the news, as it meant she could spend more time getting to know the prince she most likely would have to marryāduring their time today, she'd grown quite fond of the prince so marrying him didn't seem so badāHowever, Asher was nowhere in sight. When she asked around for him, she was told he couldn't meet her at the moment. Disappointed, she just went to her bedroom to rest.
Hours passed, unable to sleep, Tulip decided to go get some water from the kitchen. As she was roaming the quiet halls, a strange noise broke the silence, a deep humming sound vibrated through the corridors, just loud enough to feel it, but not to figure out what it was. Curiosity got the best of her, she began following that weird vibration until she was standing in front of an old wooden door that seemed to be hidden in plain sight.
Slowly, she opened the door just to be met with what seemed to be an infinite set of stairs. She walked down the stairs, her anticipation growing with each step as the humming sound slowly became louder and louder. As soon as she reached the last step, she froze in the spot, her eyes unwilling to believe what was in front of her.
A figure, taller than the tallest of trees, was sitting there, quietlyāas he couldāhumming a song. The prince who had just spent the afternoon with her suddenly filling up a space bigger than a ballroom. She didn't even have time to collect her thoughts before the prince spotted her
"Tulip!?? What are you doing?! You're not supposed to be here!" Asher whispered in a panic while trying to cover his face with his hands.
"Asher is that you?? What happened, why are you like this" Only concern came out of her words, but Asher couldn't help but feel a little sting from them.
"I will explain everything in the morning I swear, but you seriously need to leave right now"
"What, why? I want an explanation now."
"look im not allowed to be with other people while I'm like this, much less a princess from another kingdom, I don't want to get in trouble. Please, I promise we'll talk in the morning" Tulip rarely let her curiosity rest, but she couldn't go against the pleading sound of his voice.
"Fine. First thing in the morning"
Yeah that's it for now, I got tired
