The princess falls in love with the dragon

[asoftermeme]

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.

( The "maiden" role. She's a prickly witch who likes magic more than she likes most people but loves fiercely when she's fallen for someone. I particularly enjoy her with dragony types, werewolves, other shapeshifters. Maybe she could've been the one to imprison/bind/form a magical bond with a "monster" for some reason and gradually feelings happen. )

monster & maiden & heat

[royalvessel]

[Another week, another failed attempt to get him married off to another empire.

Noctis sighed in the back seat of the car, trying not to think too much about how soundly he'd been rejected by the latest alpha prince to meet him. Honestly, he didn't know what it was that kept other royalty from wanting him, but... he wasn't sure if he cared much either.

He would prefer not to marry anyone at this time and be sent to live in another empire. Lucis was his home and it felt wrong to leave. Why couldn't he have been born an alpha like his father? Life would be so much easier if he could be the one choosing his own future.

But since that wasn't possible, Noctis instead sulked in his seat and flipped through his text messages. The two guards in the front ignored him while he typed away to Prompto, complaining about the latest failure. Behind them and in front of them were two more black vehicles, meant to be a royal convoy of sorts. It seemed like a lot of protection for just one guy, but there was some unrest on the edges of Lucis where the werewolf population was growing increasingly angry over greater aggression of hunters and greedy prospectors into their territory. It was true that the King was trying to address their complaints, but... unfortunately for them, non-humans tended to take a backseat when it came to politics.

None of that really concerned Noctis anyway. He lived mostly in his own little world with his friends, and the occasional marriage attempt. Every movement he made was heavily watched and he was guarded whenever he left the Citadel. They had to make sure he never caught the eye of someone who would hurt or try to defile him before he could be set up with a proper suitor. Taking suppressants helped with that, ensuring he hadn't had a heat since his first one a few years back.

One of the guards rolled his eyes as Noctis sighed again in the backseat. Their prince was unhappy with all this traveling and failed prospects, they all knew that. Everyone knew that. Maybe if he didn't post on social media he would have a bit more privacy.

Not like Noctis cared. He just wanted to get home and slip into bed for the night. That was all.]
