The Monster & the Maiden Fair

[weebsock]

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.

Laurent of Vere ; Captive Prince ; M/M

[prince_of_vere]

[Important crown prince has very important kingdom to get back to, and will be irritable about kidnapping until he warms to his jailor.]

Dr. K | OC | OTA

[abyss_also_gazed]

((Either could work, but she's more likely to be the monster.))

Alcuin no Delaunay ; Kushiel's Dart ; M/M

[alcuin_delaunay]

[Definitely the maiden fair. Highly likely to make tea and fuss affectionately over his captor once he gets over the initial shock.]

Mavros Shahrizai | Kushiel's Legacy | M/M

[mavros_shahrizai]

[Likely to be an extremely cheeky maiden fair. He's pretty enough, although he is about 80% mischief and 20% flirtation, kidnapper beware.]

Crowley | Good Omens | ota

[ophisine]

[Very much the monster.]

[alcuin_delaunay]

[Would you be interested in a very pretty scholar-spy maiden fair? He's from a fantasy-Renaissance world, but I can AU him to modern. I'd be interested in starting from the initial kidnapping and playing out the building sympathy and affection between them.]

Re: Clint Barton | MCU/616

[wearebothangry]

[What would you like to do?]

[nexttarget]

[ Perhaps AU where Clint is a huntsmen, Bruce the beast lord of manor, clint gets busted hunting on Bruce's land to feed some of the hungry in the town... gets told he'll have to work off the cost of the bucks he took down by who ever is running Bruces house... he mets Bruce ect ect ect.... ? ]

Clint raises the bow and aims and takes down the second buck quickly and humanly, the two bucks would be enough to feed the people from his village for a week... or two. Bandits had come through and stole most of their stores, and until the crops where ready to come in it was going to be a tight few months for everyone.

He's cleaning and packing the meat when he feels the blade at the back of his neck. "You are hunting in the lord Banner's land..." a voice said.

"The people in my village are starving... bandits stole our food stores..." He explains.

"We'll take it up with the lord, but you are going to have to work off what you've killed..."

Clint inhails, two large bucks would be a few months work.... he picks up the meat and is marched back to the manor house.
