As fairy tale?

Beauty and the beast. Of course. But it's ironic, because many of my stories are inspired by that tale anyway. I have no idea if I'll ever do a direct rewrite. And if I do it, it will be in a darker, more gothic version.

Alice in wonderland. A universe that has always fascinated me. Could I resist creating a romance between Alice and Hatter? I don't think so! 🤭

As disney?

Aladdin ! I always dream of to rewrite what was for a long time my favorite Disney film. Today it's second. A darker rewrite, involving a love triangle between Jasmine, Jafar, and Aladdin.

Hercules. For a retelling involving a romance between Megara and Hades. Cliché? Perhaps? But terribly seductive.

And finally, a lesbian version of Tangled.

hello, yesterday I was thinking a lot about these two, so I started reading again many Fics and a book about both, I know that this Ship has problems in terms of Age, and may even be . . . grotesque if we think about it that way, so I decided that Jazmin would be 23 years old instead of 15 °o°

I'm sorry this may make you cringe, I just decided to take the time to open a blog Today

Jafar and Jasmine bring good news to Rumplestiltskin and Belle.

Start reading this fanfic from the start Take me to Chapter 44

Chapter 44: Visitors

It felt a little strange to Belle, not going to see Jasmine in the morning, and she felt a little anxious because of it. “What did Jafar say about the reason for canceling our usual meeting?” Belle wondered, sitting on the wooden trunk that stood beside the steering wheel of the ship, watching Rumplestiltskin guide the ship further along on these calm and hot waters. “He said that you could help me with the translation of the spell he gave us yesterday, and that you would be welcome again tomorrow.” “Weird,” Belle muttered. “I still wish we could have heard what they were saying last night. Seemed to be some pretty serious stuff.” “I still wish he would have kissed her.” Belle rolled her eyes. “How long did it take you to kiss me ? You took your time, Rumple, now don’t pretend that Jafar’s taking too long. They’ve only realized their first bit of affection for one another a few days ago.”

Characters: Jafar and Jasmine

Media: Aladdin (2019)

Played by: Marwan Kenzari and Naomi Scott

Setting: AD 800s, Agrabah

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

Princess Jasmine is the lonely, restless daughter of the Sultan of Agrabah, desperate to become the independent ruler of the kingdom in order to help her people.

Jafar is the Sultan’s Grand Vizier, a former street thief and soldier who fought his way up the ranks but still dreams of holding the ultimate power in Agrabah, a goal that drives him to hypnotize the Sultan and drive away every one of Jasmine’s suitors.

My ships, or the majority of them at least, have rather vast similarities. The girls are usually intelligent (and somehow always end up being pretty brunettes) and the guys have dark pasts and are on a road to redemption, and then meet this girl who is like “bam, I’m not taking your dark bullshit, and I just kicked your butt and will do it again if you challenge me to.” And instead of resenting her for that attitude, they worship her, befriend her, love her, and she helps him in return overcome his demons. 

(For me, personally, it’s important they go from some sort of enemies (if only because of their alignment), to friends, then to lovers, and very important not to skip the ‘friends’ step or I’m like “nah, I don’t want this ship.”)

Bonus points if the male is a magic wielder and immortal or some sort of ageless god! 

Some of my ships are canon, some aren’t even implied and some are completely made up just because I can. And some were crack in the eyes of the writers but still made me fan myself cause the idea did things to me haha. 

Rumbelle - slowly becoming one of my oldest ships, and maybe the one I’ve written most prose for (thanks to challenges like @rumbellesecretsanta and @rumbellechristmasinjuly) - though their canon story now seems to be at an end, the dynamic is so awesome that I could enjoy myself with AU’s for decades to come.  It’s very much inspired by Beauty and the Beast (quite literal in some ways), but adds a lot of darkness to Rumplestiltskin, and makes him an immortal dark magic user, which is, let’s be honest, awesome. 

Reylo - what I really love about this ship is the fact that you know Ben Solo is going to hit this brick wall where he’s like “fuck - I fucked up”, and as of now we have no idea how Rey will respond to it, and how quick she will forgive him. There is such a wide variety of Reylo fanfiction out there. Some of it where Kylo is just plain evil (not judging), others where he’s a misunderstood sweetheart. But the same goes for Rey - sometimes she remains good, sometimes she goes dark, and it’s this entire light/dark dynamic and all those childhood traumas they have in this universe of war that make them a very passionate and intense ship, no matter the context of the story. Can’t wait for episode VIII!

Hooked Wayfinder - also called Moaui by some - it’s not canon. And in fact, it’s a tiny ship. I don’t blame people for not shipping it, not at all. That’s probably a healthy response to watching this movie. But to me Maui falls perfectly in the “dark ageless guy on a path of redemption” trope while Moana falls in the “awesome heroin who doesn’t take shit” trope. The movie doesn’t really give off any vibes that either of the two are looking for a romantic partner, but if they were to decide otherwise, I’d hope they’d pick each other. They would also be an awesome asexual couple in my own mind, but some folks wouldn’t call that a ship, so, whatever. I still ship it. 

Zutara - Good old Zutara. Fellow Zutarians were royally screwed over by canon (and the showrunners weren’t ashamed of some Zutara-baiting either). Katara starts off as a rather plain girl (who soon becomes the most awesome waterbender in the world) while Zuko is an angsty prince with a very dark past. His path of revenge turns into one of redemption throughout the three seasons, and it would have been beautiful if it had turned canon, y’all. Zuko’s redemption arc was satisfying to watch though, and he did get help from Katara eventually.

Janeway/Q - this one probably doesn’t have a name, and is more crack than anything. But I remember watching this as a teen and going “omg yesssss” - it’s just, immortal allpowerful jerk looking for love and turning to a woman who doesn’t take bullshit for it. Unfortunately the ship didn’t work out in canon, haha. Q instead mated with another Q and Janeway became the aunty of the kids. 

Jasfar - I can probably call myself captain of the ship since it’s not canon and I kind of made it up. (and I’m the only provider of content for it so far, haha. Even made the manip you see above cause we don’t have gifs for people that have never shared a scene together - lol!) It’s not based on the Disney animation (at all), but more on a bazillion headcanons I had to make about Once Upon a Time in Wonderland’s Jafar so he could end up in the same Agrabah as OUAT’s Jasmine. Erase Aladdin from the picture, make these two live in the same palace, where their titles of Princess and Grand Vizier provide them a certain isolation from the rest of society, and these two can melt together like no other. (also, Naveen Andrews and Karen David look like they would be able to play a beautiful couple together.) Currently writing about them for Nanowrimo, and I’m telling you, it’s awesome. :-) 

Honorable shout-outs to:

Beauty and the Beast - the ship that started it for me when I was eight, I assume. It gave me a hunger for more complex love stories that weren’t all about “love at first sight”, but rather “love at seventy-eight sight” or something. 

I have too many ideas. Too little time. 

So I want to write a shitton of Reylo. A few months back I started working on a Viking-AU with Reylo, it could be relatively short and I’ve already got 5 chapters written, but at the same time, I also wanna write...

... my own episode IX! Featuring like ALL the characters, Reylo, RENPEROR, Hux, PHASMA BACK FROM THE DEAD, and I’m tossing in Cardinal and Vi from the Phasma novel cause the Resistance needs allies and they were AWESOME.  To get started on this I need to make me like a large map in my living room with lots of pins, wires connecting everything, pictures of the characters, of items, and maps. It will make me look like I’m attempting to murder the star wars cast if I do this. Or at least like I’m investigating their murders. 

... then I still have my Jasfar story The Fourth Gem which is still a lot of work but which I also already invested a ton of work in. I’m over halfway through. Tough decision. 

And then there’s the Rumbelle fic Heart of the Ship which is always lurking at me like “hey, you ever gonna finish me?” - like I got 150K words written down already. 

[Scene from The Fourth Gem - drawn by the amazing @almostvivian - Jafar tells Jasmine about the first time he met Rumplestiltskin.]

“The moment I arrived in the Enchanted Forest, this drew the attention of the Dark One. He was curious about me, and I was curious about him. And so it took him like one minute to realize I didn’t come from this world at all, since I had shown no signs that I recognized his name. He was intrigued by my flying carpet and wanted to strike a deal with me. In return for my flying carpet, I would get to ask him one question, any question, and he’d answer it.” “Did you accept the deal?” Jasmine asked, fascinated by his story.

“So you’re not from this Agrabah?” He shook his head. “No. As a matter of fact, my Agrabah was completely different. Even the royal palace was different from this one. And it was not your family that sat on the throne – I don’t even know if your family was alive in my universe.” “Who was the Sultan then?” she wondered curiously, trying to imagine this other universe. He was quiet for a moment, looking into her eyes before he admitted: “My father.” Jasmine’s eyes widened for a moment, and his response suddenly made her smile. “Wait – you’re a prince?!” She seemed terribly amused by that, and he did smile in return to her response, though his expression fell just a moment later. “Not lawfully… Not really…” There was a hint of bitterness in his tone, and Jasmine was starting to frown too as she was realizing that he had no good memories of that place. “I was a bastard,” he admitted honestly, not looking her in the eye, but instead looking at his hands as they were folded in his lap. “Am, a bastard.”
