Ok, so an idea came to me while re-exploring Sea of Bygone Eras on my account.
Basically, how about a Fantasy au where Furina!MC is an Oceanid princess who was destined to marry the Hydro Sovereign as Queen Egeria refused to let Focalors or any of her other favored daughters marry that beast.
So, she picks her least favorite.
The runt Oceanid, Furina!MC.
She and Leviathan (Neuvillette's Sovereign name) were wedded... and that's where her hell truly began.
Furina!MC was treated as lesser being, as an annoyance. No care whatsoever from her 'husband'.
The other Sovereigns, his siblings, were just as bad if not worse. Oh, and King Nibelung... no, she refused to talk about her experience with him.
Eventually all the abuse, the mind breaking isolation, it got to her in both mind and body... and she broke.
She shattered to pieces, and none of the dragons, much less her 'husband', were willing to put her back together. So, she was left alone to waste away, and soon, she was gone from the world...
But then... she wakes up. Small, so much smaller than before, even more fragile, and still very broken, but she wakes up.
She wakes up in her old room in Egeria's castle. Tiny, cramp, dirty, just as she remembered it being. She hated it. She didn't want to be here. She rather die again than go through it all that pain and suffering once more.
So, she wanders out her room- no, her cage. Small, bruised, bloody feet silently pad down grand hallways, easily slipping past guards, and wanders outside.
She was mentally checked out, too tired and in constant pained. Just all around too broken to focus on anything else than to get away from 'home'.
She barely notices anything by the time she makes it to the water, her little child body swaying on her feet as nausea kicks in. Ah, right... she was in her younger body... so her maids must have skipped out bringing her food like old times...
Despite that, she takes a step into the water.
Swim, swim... she needs to swim away... get away from cruel oceanids and scary dragons...
She makes a mistake, however. She underestimates the tide's strength that night, and the broken little Oceanid is swept away from shore, her little body tumbling and turning violently through the water till she finally passes out.
This time she expected not to wake up again. Miracles can only happen once... right? If so, why did she wake up again, but not to a dirty bed or dark, cold waters... but a soft bed?
There was two men quietly talking by her bedside, one was clearly draconic in nature which immediately spikes Furina!MC's anxiety, but the other... was wearing a mask? A stone mask?
She flinches when one of the men gently urges her to sleep, that she was safe. They would talk once she recovered...
And then a gentle humming feels the air. A soft, wordless tune that help settle Furina!MC broken mind and body, giving her no choice but to listen to her Savior(?)'s words...
Was she really safe...? It sounded too good to be true...
...And that's the idea! Basically, a Time travel au where a traumatized baby Oceanid Furina!MC flees her 'family' and gets found/adopted by both Remus and Scylla (I ship them. They are old man yaoi), and she becomes a princess of Remuria.
Feel free to through in more suggestions for this au if you wish. I'm all ears for them!
