Disclaimer: This is very much a work in progress and subject to change. This is also my first interactive fiction work and I haven't written anything creatively more seriously since I was much younger so I'm trying to get back into that rhythm. I am a university student entering my last year of school so please just keep that in mind in terms of expectations regarding updates and such. Thank you for your interest and understanding! :)

Firstly… hear me out. Shits gonna be a bit wiggly to fit the narrative. Some characters are going to be recast while others will stay the same for continuity's sake.

Secondly, magic and alchemy are canon in Tangled the Series so I will be using both

Third—and final—@roach-works has an amazing theory (that they posted back in 2022) that I am completely in love with. Basically, Maximus was the former captain of the guard that was cursed to be a horse and instead of trying to fix it he just kept going to work. As a horse.

Eva Stratt is not hindered in the slightest by her transformation. She has a job to do and the loss of opposable thumbs will not hinder her. Useless conversations have basically dwindled to zero and productivity is technically at an all time high.

Similarly, Ava, Stratt's prior second in command, has now gained the title of Captain. While she knew the position would fall to her one day, this is not one of the outcomes she could have predicted leading to her new promotion.

The sundrop flower doesn't just heal the sink or the injured. It directly correlates to the agriculture of Corona and its surrounding area. The centuries that the flower was hidden brought incredible soil retention and bountiful produce to the far corners of the kingdom.

When the Queen drank the flower petals elixir her illness was cured, but it created a small steady decline to the environment. Something the kingdom wouldn't even figure out till years later. With the flower taken out of the ground, the magic within couldn't properly 'light' its surrounding area.

Now the sun's power flows not through the roots in the ground, but the blood of the new crown prince, Ryland. The physical land of Corona waits for the babes first crawl—first steps—where the magic could once more flow freely into the ground and enrich the land. It takes seventeen more years before the sundrop will ever touch the natural earth again.

Gothels character will primarily stay the same, however, she will be renamed to Mother Patrova. (The Patrova line housed the Astrophage or Sun Eater, so it seemed fitting that 'Mother Patrova' would take the suns magic a.k.a Ryland) Special thanks to Dr. Irina Petrova for discovering the line, but her name shall be used as a villain.

Ryland is her little petal that is far too weak to be let outside, so in the tower he stays. Early on Patrova realizes that any plants kept in the tower thrive far better then those she tended too outside, so the tower also becomes its own self sustaining garden. It lessens her worries for when she is gone for longer extensions of time.

Ryland is alone—stuck in a tower for years—with only Carl at his side. He tends to the tower most day, reading his books and minding the garden. He never stops hoping for a chance to learn more about the outside world. Asking Mother to bring him different samples from her travels for him to further understand. She complies to most of his requests, but she can't touch the floating lights.

An occurrence that only happens once a year and a scientific mystery Ryland can't explain. They aren't stars, he knows they aren't, despite Mother's insistence. He only has one chance to observe the floating lights and so far each year he comes to the same conclusion: more data required. Surely she knows he wants to understand them, find out what they are. He knows he can convince her. This year he's sure.

Simon 'The Butcher' is a thief and convicted killer. Why would he be interested in stealing the crown jewels? The honest answer? He's not. He's interested in the roots and stem woven into the frame.

The Queen only consumed the flowers petals during her sickness, keeping the rest of the plant to hopefully repot or be on stand by in case the petals weren't enough. with her clean bell of health they decided that the rest of the plant was then to be interwoven within the crown. To show the history of the the royal family and how the little prince came to be. It would represent the happy ending they expected, but never got.

Despite being uprooted for so long the flowers remains continue to survive—without the help of soil or water. No new leaf or buds bloomed from the stem but it didn't wither or crumple either. Preserved in perfect suspended animation.

With that stem he thinks he can get out of the kingdom. Go somewhere far away and build a lush, green home for himself, where no one knows his past. Working together with the Sabbington brothers may not have been the smartest move, but a heist of this caliber was not something he could achieve alone.

Realistically I know that they're both going to be ooc in some moments or act more like their fanon portrayals but there are some good roots here that'll create such nice themes and dynamic parallels.

I have soooo many thoughts about this that I'm not even incorporating in this post (long lost Prince Simon of the Dark kingdom, the arm detaching, colour theory, the Bloodmoon Opal, and how The Brotherhood gets tied into this, to name a few) that i want to talk about but no one would know what the hell I'm yapping on about without reference.
