Once upon a time, there was a duck- no, a girl-- wait, she was a swan princess too? It was so, so long ago, no one remembers it anyway... Unless...? 🐥🩰🦢👑

Here's the Princess Tutu fancomic, written by @squidpro-quo and illustrated by me for Pas de Deux, the @princesstutuzine!! ✨🩰

Anyways, I love the idea of the girls teasing Fakir about dating and flirting and courting and he gets flustered because he has a Reputation ™ so they need to stop. But then he gets a call from his girlfriend, Duck, and the girls are making little kissy noises behind him, Raetsel is going "Ooh là là" and Uzura says "Lovey dovey, zura" and he gets embarrassed about it. They follow him around and he cant answer and he snaps at them "You two are so NOSY. Mind your business!" But of course they don't because they're losing it at Fakir having a cheesy ringtone for Duck and Uzura very loudly goes "I love your ringtone, zura!" "So romantic," Raetsel adds. And Fakir had answered Duck and he's trying not to get flustered once again, but then he hears Duck giggle through the phone and he seems to calm down.

I love the idea of Fakir being the jealous brother who glares at Raetsel's boyfriends and gives them the shovel talk. Picture twerpy, twelve year old Fakir glaring daggers at Raetsel's beau and he's like "you break her heart, I'll break your spine". And the boyfriends don't take him seriously until Raetsel is like "No, really, he looks scrawny, but he will drop kick you."

Raetsel is the big sister who gives her siblings kisses, but also shoves them away when she's annoyed. Fakir loves to annoy her by resting his head on her shoulder, but like for an unhealthy amount of time. Or he puts his leg on her when they sit on the couch. Because Uzura is a smol baby, Raetsel doesn't mind carrying her. And she squeezes her and pinches her cheeks.

Fakir gets a taste of his own medicine when Uzura annoys him and exploits his short temper. He isn't very nice, but he does cafe about her a lot and lectures her on not butting into people's business and having good manners, like not licking her fingers in public. But she doesn't listen because Fakir can't control her. She likes to give him heart attacks by running across the street and he has to chase her so he can bring her home.

Inspired by this sheer piece of inspiration, and this gorgeous piece of art I bring you a Princess Tutu AU. 

Mytho is the prince of a fantasy kingdom, and he is the acting king because his father recently died. 

His mother, Queen Raetsel, is distraught. 

Duck is one of the prince’s knights

She was given the nickname Tutu because she practically dances around the practice field.

Fakir is a royal scribe

He grew up around knights because his father is a well-known blacksmith, but chose the pen over the sword. 

He can still fight like a beast if he needs to. 

Fakir often works with Autor, who is a royal librarian, on manuscript preservation. 

There is a group of nomads that live in the north, and Rue is the leader’s daughter. 

While they don’t interact often, she and Mytho get along really well. 

Malen is an artisan who works with the royal family often

Anteaterina is the ace-knight that everyone looks up to cuz she's just that awesome

Freya and Femio are gardeners for the king, and the flowers have never been so gorgeous

Fakir and Ahiru are sent on a mission by Mytho to find out about the dragon that has been spotted in the mountains. 

They come across lil orphan Uzura and decide to take her back with them. 

Little do they know, she is a baby dragon.

Karon simply loves her though, and spoils her rotten.

And Fakir starts teaching her how to read/write. 

Edel is the dragon. She eventually flies to the capital to look for her daughter. 

Diplomatic dragon
