the monster & the maiden fair meme

[moosejuice]

the monster & the maiden fair meme There's a long precedent in folklore and myth of beautiful young people - both men and women - being kidnapped by monsters: dragons, beasts, goblins, demons, elves, vampires, wolves, or even evil humans. In the end, however, these prisoners are almost always rescued and brought back to civilization to live a normal and happy life. But what if they didn't want to leave their jailor? They've seen behind the surface and have begun to sympathize with this "monster;" no, more than that, they've fallen for them. Will this story have a happy ending? Will the monster believe that anyone could love them? Most importantly, though, can the two of them be left alone without any attempts at a "rescue?" how to play Comment with your character, your preference, and what role they'll play. Feel free to AU characters to your desire role. Reply to others. Thread anything that could remotely fit under the umbrella theme. Was the kidnapping just that, or did both parties know (and care) for each other before, making it a collaborative, mutual effort? Perhaps you'd prefer to play the actual Beauty and The Beast-style getting to know each other or seeing behind the grizzly facade. What about an attempted "rescue?" Or maybe you could thread out a scene where the prisoner runs away from the society they were forced back into and returns to their beloved beast! It's all up to you. You could even do smut if you wanted to, but this isn't a smut meme.

(Probably part of some larger group responsible for the kidnapping but noticeably not 100% behind them. Could be Jadow in season one or someone new.)

sarah williams :: labyrinth :: ota

[imstillunderground]

Hope you don't mind that I'm assuming crossover/setting blending?

[superstylishsquid]

A couple days after Sarah's abduction at the hands of strange, giant anthropomorphic animal men and subsequent imprisonment in a basic but livable room, she still hasn't been told a thing about why she's there. Actually, she hasn't been paid much attention at all, aside from being given regular meals. So it may come as a surprise when someone knocks on the door well after lunch and a young man clad in purple spandex walks into the room. He could easily be considered handsome...except his eyes glow behind his visor and he has demonic bat wings and a spaded tail to match growing out of his back. His voice sounds human, at least. Smooth and almost musical, even.

"So, you're the Goblin King's sweetheart, huh?"

yukina ( yu yu hakusho ) ota

[crylittlesister]

( technically, since she's a demon, either role, but more likely to be "kidnapped." )

Simon - Firefly - M/M for shipping, OTA for gen

[giftedistheterm]

(OOC: More than likely to be the 'maiden fair' here, but if you have ideas for Simon as a monster then let's hear it.)

(OOC: 21+ OTA for non-canonmates. For Canonmates, 21+, no relatives, no one that's been with his son and no one that fell out of Cora's devil-chute.)

crossover/au ftw?

[being_awesome]

In a certain sector of Warehouse 13, there was kept a certain spinning wheel. Not far from the wheel, there was a sizeable crate. On that crate, there was a name, a powerful name, the utterance of which was highly discouraged; and to that name belonged a creature of legend. Claudia Donovan - the once and future caretaker of said warehouse - had hidden from a malfunctioning repair drone, and its occupant had been none too pleased.

Of course, that had been years ago. She'd learned to be a great deal more caredul since then, and she hadn't expected to have any further trouble with the Dark One, or his magical Artifacts. But accidents happened, and the enchanted crate now stood open. Claudia found herself face to face with the one and only Rumpelstilzchen, and what she saw...was not what she had expected.

[the_silver_queen]

[halfdeimos_king]

((Might I offer a half-dragon king? :D In his canon, humans are at war with Deimos (monster-like folk). Darc here is half human but identifies as a Deimos first and foremost. So, maybe she trespassed into Deimos territory..?))

Saionji Tsukawaki | Hybrid Child (fandom oc) | OTA

[onceasheep]

[Most-likely to fit in the "beauty" role. Saionji is a Hybrid Child - a non-citizen whose creation was for the sole purpose of mirroring another person. His enemy is more likely to be the society of his creation, itself, rather than any "beast". But I'm flexible.

[Please note that he is not very innocent, and is, in fact, a sex addict due to his upbringing and difficulty in regards to changing. Any interest he may have - even as a friend - is likely to inspire feelings of lust for him. If you still want to thread, but don't want smut, I don't mind having him take care of his urges off-screen, and consent is a huge deal for him, anyway.]

Leatherhead | TMNT 2012 | OTA

[bigsoftie]

[Definitely the monster.]

[whitescalesbigmouth]

[Saft doesn't really remember much of what happened before she wound up wherever the heck she wound up. She had caught sight of a large creature and slipped, banging her head against the cold hard floor so she was surprised to have found herself somewhere unrecognisable...

Perhaps even scary.]

....Hello?

Is anyone there?

(human!)Fluttershy | My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic | M/F preferred

[strengthinkindness]

((Most likely the kidnapped maiden))

[bigsoftie]

((Just gonna go with regular ol' LH.))

[How Leatherhead fell through the portal he did not know. Where he was, what this place was, his panic glossed over them. In his panic he found a familiar-ish face. It felt familiar...but he could not tell. Everything felt like a mish mosh of memories.

The alligator did not gain cognizance of what he had done until he found himself holed up in another hideout. He would let her go but...he's unsure of why he's here or who she is. He wants to find out, he wants to find out so bad.

He turns to her, keeping his back to her.]

Are you...alright?

sakura matou | fate/stay night

[imaginenumbers]

( ooc: can do either role, just tell me which one you want! and i can also take sakura from any route, though default is always hf. )

Re: sakura matou | fate/stay night

[heavensmostwanted]

[Defeated and captured.

Never meant to happen. But it did. He had underestimated the strength of all these Servants, and with constant fights each and every day, it was only a matter of time before he fell. If Dante were there, he'd laugh at the kid before trying to solve this mess himself. But Naoki wasn't back home, stuck in a new world with new enemies.

And now he was all alone. He merely sat there in his prison, his tattoos faintly glowing a dark red. Eyes were hurt the most, obviously to weaken him. The half-demon could still barely see anything but darkness. They did a number on him alright, and he didn't know what to do now. Hearing someone move towards him, he looked up, vision still blurred by his own blood.]

What do you want? Thought it'd be easier if I was dead to you all.

((OOC: Can either be the kidnapped or the kidnapper. If the latter, it's either a huge misunderstanding or he's trying to protect his victim from something and had no time to explain. Willing to go Omnitrix-less. If doing an AU where Ben is the kidnapper, his AU monster self is a natural-born shapeshifter. Open to non-romantic scenarios.))
