As much as I think a proper howls moving castle au would be so beautiful, that isn’t the dynamic I’m shooting for (proper being Mike and will as howl and Sophie)

I want angst and I want to use the world building of Howls moving castle with how their magic works

Mike - demon vampire (lowkey Marceline)

After the heart of a poweful Sorcer, and if he has his eye on a particular wizard it’s only cause he’s rumored to be the most gifted, and totally not cause of some dumb childhood promise, that’s for sure.

Sorcer Byers - took in Delightful Derek as an apprentice (movie didn’t explain so I ain’t gunna either)

Cares for his apprentice Derek, pumpkin head (el), and old lady Maxine (max), and maybe has room for an unruly vampire in his castle some where.

Maxine and PumpkinHead have the same relationship as Sophie and TurnipHead in the first part of the movie, so Maxine stumbled into castle Byers through the wastes and helped pumpkin head out after she got stuck in the castle

The kings Sorcer - Monsier Creel (Henry)

(My autocorrect turning Monsier into monster is so fitting though 😭)

King being Brenner but not important to byler,

Creel cursed the princess El to be a scarecrow for her crime of wanting to stop the war and was banished to the wastes, shortly after finding out her fate Max tries to find her out in the wastes but is stopped by one of Creels leech guards and is cursed to become Old lady Maxine, who keeps forgetting what she was looking for.

Snippet

[Maxine is laughing with pumkin head by the fire]

Mike smugly - so… you sold your heart for more power but you can’t undo your closest companions curses ?

Will amused - oh I definetly have enough power to reverse curses, especially ones that can be seen that easliy, but in order to reverse curses you need to understand what your reversing, … and neither can tell me what happened to them.

Thoughtful Silence

Will - but I will continue to care for them and I hope one day they can find their way out.

This is crackship in the sense that will is howl pendragon and mike is “The Star” Marceline.
