CHOI YOUNG DO & YOO RACHEL :: Historical AU
“What?” He scoffed from the throne, leaning over with an elbow resting on his knee. “Dare to say that again?”
The edge of her lips curled ever so slightly. "As you wish.” The words “your Highness” roll off her tongue with a slight sting. “I said, you seem to have finally gained some confidence now that the late emperor has passed away.”
“You forget who you’re speaking to,” he warned.
“Emperor or not, you’re still the same kid I grew up with. I’m still the only one between the two of us who isn’t afraid to take the steps necessary to secure the power we deserve. You’re welcome by the way.”
H A P P Y H O L I D A Y S TO @tyndaridaes from your @kdramasecretsanta
OKAY so to explain that mess of a snippet of there, I had a Macbeth vibe one day sooooo I went with it. --Well to preface Heirs is actually the only drama from your list that I’ve seen all the way through LOL. I was going to marathon the other dramas but I’ve read through your youngra fics, and pretty much took a stab in the dark and guessed that you somewhat enjoy the ship. Anyway, I thought about Rachel and Young Do being betrothed from a young age, and decided to keep Young Do’s Daddy Issues TM in his backstory (bc what is Young Do without his father problems? Happy, for one but happiness is rare in historical plots.) Later on down the line, Rachel devised a plan to help Young Do to ascend to the throne with her as empress through nefarious means. Amazing. And here we are.
I had a lot of fun making this for you so I hope you like it somewhat? If not the idea, then hopefully you think the manips are cool. idk OTL Please have a good holiday season!! It was great getting to know you through your blog and to have the chance to make this for yoooou~~~~
