Hey so read the rules on request and wanted to ask exactly what aus we can ask for? Are there any aus related to CP that we could probably request?????
Oh, god, I am just seeing how long I wasn’t doing anything for this blog...
My definition of AU is pretty broad. Different setting as an example in a different time/scenario/place etc. (If you’re really curious about what people can come up with, go onto the official Disord server and ask for the Dance Dance Refolution AU. But please don’t make me wrinte anything there. I don’t know that kind of setting wnough to write something up there.)
Ask whatever you like, as long as it roughly makes sense and involves Myth. Myth is my only real condition there.
PS: I am alive and did even work on a bigger projekt! Whoever wants can go over to AO3 to the Cinderelly Phenomenon category. There is a slow-build fanfic in progress with a Lucette/Myth pairing.
Well, look at what I found. A list of keywords for drabbles that was quite popular on Fanfiktion.de once as the 120-challenge (I think it was called).
You can ask requests for a specific setting with a keyword or simply pick a keyword in generall and I’ll write something for it.
If there is no ask in general, I’ll simply pick one with a random number generator.
And yes, words can be picked multiple times.

myth and fritz drabble?
Have a small piece.
Sometimes Mythwasn’t sure how the knight was able to be so genuinely good.
It wasn’tthat the boy was trying to be charming or trying to woe her. He was… way tooobvious for that.
But in away they were the same. Bound by their oaths, their duties, their promises. Theknight was just way more open about it, his promises and oaths known. His dutiesnot needing to be hidden.
Both oftheir duties would be dangerous under specific circumstances. And none of themwould simply abandon them. It was just how they were. Even when they haddifferent reasons for it.
In the end,they were both just doing their jobs, driven and motivated by personal agendas.
Lucette: You’re clearly not listening. I can say whatever I want, can’t I?
Mythros: Tell me about it.
Lucette: I murdered Sir Alcaster last night.
Mythros: I feel you.
Lucette: Now that I have the taste for blood, I can’t stop murdering.
Mythros: Been there.
Your writing is veeery good. Thank you for creating all this content. Can I request Myth interacting with young Lucette? Like, before the rebellion.
Take some story time.^^
If anyone wonders, the tale Myth starts telling is taken from the game “Kingdomd of Amalur: The Reckoning”. There are multiple tales in it, this one is the start of the one called “The Fading Of The Fae”.
The ten-year-oldwas looking at him curiously from her place at the floor in front of themakeshift puppet stage Waltz seemed to try to hide behind. “Princess,” he bowedstiffly to the girl and then glared at the boy trying to make himselfdisappear. “This is what you do, when you’re supposed to be studying?”
“W-Well,” Waltzchuckled awkwardly and forcefully, glancing at the door as if he was judgingthe time, he would need to reach it and flee successfully, “What are you doinghere, Myth?” “You didn’t put the books back. I got the allowance to get out ofyou where they are. That involved hunting you down in the first place. Does thequeen know what you’re doing?”
“It’s a secret!” the girl exclaimed cheerfully, “Youlearn together with Waltz? Can you also do tricks? Waltz can make flowersappear!” Big golden eyes peered at him. With her head slightly tilted the smallgirl looked… kind of cute.
“Secret?”he asked flatly, “Flowers?” “And we make dolls together and come up with storiesand he is really got at telling stories.”
“Stories?”he raised an unimpressed brow Waltz, “You do this instead of-?” “Don’t tellmother, please?” Myth starred at the girl. “What?”
“Don’t tellmother, please? I like having more company than my dolls and the maids areforbidden from playing with me and mother is barely there…” a pleading gaze methis eyes “You can stay as well!”
Silence. “What?I have no time to-” the golden eyes seemed to get a bit watery. For a momentfaces seemed to overlay, golden eyes darkening a bit, face morphing into a toddlerpeering at him, reaching for him. He forced the feeling away, before it couldgrab him. He starred silently at the girl. “And what would I be doing here?” hefinally asked coolly.
“Oh, Waltzand I come up with stories to tell each other. These Fairytales are boring andalways following the same pattern. So we come up with new stuff. Do you knowany stories to tell?”
He triedglaring at Waltz, who was still looking at him, but not looking outrightterrified anymore.
“I…”curious eyes looked at him. Hopeful and waiting. “I guess, I know a few fewerknown ones…” he finally sighted and the small girl let out a delighted aroundand suddenly he got pulled down to where she was sitting. “Tell, tell, tell!”The girl stilled and then looked over to the stage. “Is it something that couldbe played as well?”
“Ah… I doubtyou have the fitting things here…” Myth started and looked around for a moment.In the end the girl settled down comfortably anyway and looked at him. Mythalmost flinched when Waltz sat down as well, looking just as curious.
Myth took abreath and started talking, remembering dark evenings and a dark voice wistfullyrecalling old stories from memory.
“They were the harbingers of the Fall, theseChildren of Dust…and they lit the forest with their fires, and then split it with their blades.We crept back, shapeless in the darkness, silent in the trees. But shadows are few in this age of mortals. The light beckons…”
It was along tale and he was barely halfway through when he felt a weight against hisside and trailed of. The princess had fallen asleep and cuddled up to him,Waltz giving him a bright smile and then got up, coming back with a blanket.
Myth lookedat the sleeping girl snuggled into his side and tried to drown away thememories of a dark-haired toddler doing the same years ago.
How would myth react to being in a love and having a love rival.
Well, here is what I came up with.
Was kind of tricky to work out and hope it isn’t too far fetched.
He ran intoher by accident. Even a year after her disappearance there were stillpossessions of his queen in the palace he had hidden away and sneaked into moresecure hiding places whenever he had the chance.
Like in thisnight, when he was moving the stash of magical books to somewhere else.
The librarywas dark when he had retrieved the first books and it was still dark when hecame back for more, dawn just dusting the horizon.
But now therewas someone else in the library as well. Stepping back into the darkest shadowshe slipped to the stash, made sure it was safely hidden and then went toinvestigate.
It was ayoung woman, not older than himself, taking books from the shelves and puttingthem onto a cart. Myth didn’t know her. The rebellion of the traitor had gottensome personal replaced due to ‘questionable actions’ under the reign of thequeen.
It was thesame reason why the former advisor had been let go, allowing him to slip intothe court.
It seemedthis woman was new as well.
Auburn hairframed a light skinned face with dark eyes. From the clothes she was wearingshe was either higher middle-class or lower high-class. Well, this wasn’t hisproblem. He barely interacted with the staff at all in anyway.
Myth saw heragain, when he was forced to consult the royal library for a dictionary to better translate a contract he was tryingto make sense off.
She waschattering with a maid, passing by the shelf he was looking over and -when helooked over to identify the noise makers- she gave him a cheerful wave. Forcinghimself to stay in character of his new personality, he nodded back and thenscratched that meeting from his mind.
Then he runinto her for real.
For somereason the king was permanently shoving more work his way. On one hand, it wasa clear sign of being trusted. On the other hand, the man was most likelysimply trying to get out of tiresome and boring paperwork, now that his queenwasn’t terrifying people into respecting contracts anymore.
Myth roundedthe corner of a hallway and smashed into someone, paperwork sent flying.
They wereboth apologetic about the meeting, she embarrassed and he just done with theday, both collecting their own work which had scattered over the hallway andgoing their way.
An hour laterhe needed to hunt her down, because he was missing some sheets.
Her name, itturned out, was Elena. She had lived outside the capital in a town not far awayuntil the Great War ended and she had come to the capital looking for work,getting hired as a library.
She wascheerful, open and always up for making new friends. And she seemed to deemevery new person she talked to a friend.
Him included.
After thepaperwork incident -and yes, she did hold onto the sheets, because she didn’tknow if she could simply hand them off to another servant, proving the abilityof thinking sensible thoughts- she seemed set greet him every time they crossedways.
In thehallways, when she passed by his office, when he was forced to look somethingup in the library, it didn’t seem to matter to her.
The onlyreason why Myth didn’t leash out on her, was her ability to see when she wasinterrupting something and letting it be, leaving him alone to work through it.It was… kind of nice.
It took a fewmonths before he got a better grip on what she was like. How she was a bit shyaround strangers with no one around she knew and always willing to approach newpeople as long as she had a friend around. She didn’t like people mistreatingbooks -even had a slight temper there- and loved reading.
Myth foundhimself even slightly enjoying her company, it was way less offending than thetraitor had ever been, if only because she could stay quiet.
It took sometime for Myth admit to himself that he enjoyed Elena’s company. She was-everything considered- way less complicated than most women he had been forcedto interact with.
He likedbeing around her. He could make comments about books she understood, even makea bit of fun about how ridiculous some of the poetry books were, with theirperception of love and how it made everything just better and how marryingsolved every problem.
Then he foundhimself looking at books he had read some time ago and wondered if she wouldlike them. Was it something she may have read already? Something she would findinteresting? Or something she would put aside as boring?
Why did heeven care? His focus should be somewhere else completely, on securing andstabilizing the kingdom, so his queen would have everything she needed upon herreturn.
Why did hecare?
He… couldn’tanswer it.
Myth foundhimself thinking more about that question while living his days in hisdisguise. And then decided to just let it go.
He was workingon keeping the kingdom secured and he needed to wait a few more years for hisqueen to be released anyway.
As it was, heentered the library and found Elena joking with a young man.
She quicklyintroduced them. He was a young noble, visiting the castle and introducedhimself as Richard, complimenting him on achieving the position he had at hisage. Myth kept the conversation light and curious about the reasons about theman’s visit.
Richard was,as it turned out, visiting on behalf of his family, and had asked and receivedthe allowance to use the royal library for it.
Myth let itgot and went his way.
For somereason it bothered him that Richard was there, spending time with Elena.
And for somereason it bothered him that she was looking at him like- …like what?
When histhoughts caught up with him, Myth stilled. Why did he care that these two werespending time together? It was, all things considered, none of his business. Hehad way to much work to do anyway to play babysitter for two adults.
So why did itkeep bothering him?
He keptpondering that thought, trying to sort out his own mind.
The firstthing he really noted was, that he felt unnaturally happy and relaxed aroundher.
The nextthing was that -for some reason- he really liked her smiling at him.
And the lastfact was that for some reason he really couldn’t stand that man.
What the hellwas wrong with his mind? He would need to ponder that more…
Days blurredinto weeks and Myth found himself… strangely stressed.
He visitedthe library on occasion, always finding them in either blissful silence (hestayed a bit if that was the case) or in animated discussion (he left).
In a way hefelt… angry. He wasn’t sure at what. Like someone had intruded on somethingthat was his. Which wasridiculous. He had no reason to claim ownership to anything of the library.
Days passed,his mood riding and falling, him grumbling under his breath and the kinghearing and commenting -sounding way too amused- if he was jealous.
The commentmade something inside him freeze.
He thoughtabout it, when he was alone.
Was hejealous? He disliked Richard, disliked how he spent his time with Elena,disliked how she looked at the man, but not him-!
…was he…attached? Did he… like her?
More timepassed and Myth pondered this new revelation, remembering how comfortable hefelt around her.
…maybe heshould… do something about it?
The smallgifts were easy enough to come by.
Nothing too expensive,no reason to get intrusive or pushy. Richard did not seem to appreciate the newattention on Elena, glaring at him when she wasn’t looking.
He justraised a brow at the man, daring him to make a scene.
It still wentdownhill in the end.
He didpretend to be someone else, after all.
It was aninnocent enough conversation up to the point where fairytales came up.
There wereinterpretations thrown around, obscure ones retold (there were no books aboutthem in the library) and at some point it went to the source of this gap.
“I heard thequeen burned the books. As if it would erase everything,” Elena sighted,putting a book away, “I mean, just burning a few books doesn’t erase thecontent. There are more copies after all.”
“What do youmean with erase everything?” Myth asked, morbidly curious.
“What witchesdid. I mean, the fairytales tell you all what happened and so many of them areso gruesome!” the young woman shuddered, “I mean, these things must have beenreally bad to get written down. I’m sure you could add a few recent ones fromthe war as well!”
“We couldcall it ‘Rise of the Fairies’!” Richard added laughing, “What do you think,Mythros?”
“I rememberthat there were a few witches as well in the uprising,” he said after a shortbout of silence, fighting down seething rage and boiling blood.
“Sure! Andthe witch queen and the fairy leader were friends once! Would give it quite thedramatic spin!” she laughed, “But then it would just be a story!”
It isn’t justa are story. The tales are just a story! There is nothing true about them-!
Myth feltsomething squirming inside him, heart hammering, he forced his body to relax.
“Have fundiscussing it,” he said, voice neutral, “I have paperwork to get through.”
Later in theday, in the privacy of his own home he raged.
It was thefollowing day that he passed the painting of his queen.
He stopped and turned to the portrait.
The queen was looking down on him, eyes cold,unyielding and judging.
What had he been thinking anyway? Itwasn’t like he had time to waste on something like that. He had way more important things to get done.
ScratchingElena from his mind, he turned away from the canvas and went his way. Shouldthe two, naive idiots have each other.
His loyalty was to the queen and no one else. No oneelse was important. No one else mattered.
i was thinking moonlight with MythLu? thank u. sorry for bothering u.
You aren’t a bother. If writing was a bother, my ask box wouldn’t be open.
108 - Moonlight
The moon was bright in the sky, turning the room into a strange pattern of shadows and strange patches of white and different shades of gray.
And Myth couldn’t sleep. He had fallen asleep, woken up, due to a nightmare, he couldn’t remember clearly anymore and then had found himself laying awake, heart still beating to fast, thoughts still running. Normally, he would have gotten up, left the bed and found himself a book. There was always paperwork in his office, waiting to ge finished.
But he wasn’t alone and there wasn’t paperwork needed to distract himself from these feelings anymore.
His Princess, to be his Queen (always his Goddess, but he had the feeling, she wouldn’t react well to that title) was still asleep, the moonlight illuminating her form.
He didn’t dare to cast a mage light, she had proven before that she was sensitive enough to notice, even when asleep and it was enough that he was awake. And the moon was bright enough anyway.
He watched her for a bit, before he carefully reached out and grabed her hand. Both of them didn’t sleep well too close to each other. As nice as the feeling was, it felt restrictive to sleep like that. Trapped.
It was enough if the other one was there when they woke up, not that they slept together often. The king just wasn’t sure how to find a chaperon that could keep a good eye on them, regarding how both of them could magically change places.
Closing his eyes again, he concentrated on listening to her breaths and the fingers around his, he drifted off back to sleep. Even so, he was sure that her grip tightened at some point.
71! (and with our dear Lucy if you would)
71 - Obession
Sometimes Myth couldn’t resist looking at the princess, like he looked at the portrait of his queen.
Imagening her looking at him and him alone.
She looked so much like her mother as well, the same hair, regal composure and a grace befitting her standing.
And utterly beautiful as well.
Myth knew better than imagening any kind of relationship with his queen. She was his teacher, his mentor, his savior as well. But she was also married -if only to gain access to the royal resources- and didn’t bother with any kind of familial relationships outside her daughter.
A daughter who was slowly maturing into something looking enough like her mother that it was easy to not feel the disgust for her, he had initially felt upon learning of her contact with Waltz and still different enough that he was very aware that she wasn’t his queen.
But she would be a queen at one point as well…
Myth was hoping she would be his by then, an allowance from her and a reward from his queen at the same time.
He hoped his queen would allow that…
Waltz: What's your problem?
Mythros: You. You are my problem.
hii jdjsksks so happy to see this blogg love mythros so much <333 if you have the time, could you write a drabble about mythros’s interactions with varg/fritz ?
Well, here it goes.^^Just a bit of Varg in this one.
Myth wantedto curse. Preferably Alcaster into oblivion. Pity, he needed the man’sresources or he would arrange an accident. Or a sickness, depending on thecircumstances.
As it was, heneeded to make due. Like always with the man. A bit more common sense or a bitof foresight past the tip of his sword would do the man some good, then hewouldn’t need to clean up these kind of messes.
Clack. Clack. Clack.
He glared atthe source of the sound and the black haired young man gave him a smile thatwas more showing teeth than smiling. But then wolfs didn’t smile, only baringtheir teeth at possible threats.
But Vargstill stopped clacking the cane against the floor and Myth turned away to lookat the map again marking another area off.
The soundrestarted.
“Can’t you goand bother Alcaster?” he finally snarled. He could force obedience with theleash he had built into the curse, but Alcaster was doing well enough aboutagitating the wolf and he didn’t want to be the first target if the curseshould fail him.
He would havepreferred using a more tailored curse, one that couldn’t be broken by accident,but Alcaster had bound his hands on the matter, by only calling him in afterthe convincing failed. And then there had bern no time! And so afairytale curse needed to do, casting eased by the template his queen hadworked into the Crystallum.
Well,depending on the princess thought on the curse and her attachment to theknight, he could at least claim that it kept the boy from getting killed. Pitythat even memory spells took preparation and he had been in no position tosimply let the knight disappear for a few days.
“He told meto go and bother you. He wants to know about the princess he can’t remember.”The personified curse smirked.
The livingmenace should remember the princess just as well as every other cursed.
But thenAlcaster couldn’t even recognize that his son was happy with his lot in lifeand the chances of him joining the coup resulting small.
And from thesmirk Varg knew that Myth knew that the curse knew everything.
Myth glaredback at the map of the town.
He hadapplied a tracking spell to the princess’ hairbands, but either all of themwere in the palace, he had missed some, whatever had happened had stripped thespell off or she was in a blind spot.
“Varg, comeover here. You can make yourself useful,” he said.
“More usefulthan just running around with letters?” the man asked mockingly.
“Not moreexciting, but yes, more useful. Give me the cane a moment.”
Object inhand Myth turned it to access the lower end and called upon his magic.
The slightstrain on his strength was calming, the task taking over his mind and taking uphis concentration.
Uponfinishing, he handed it back and then walked around the room setting a few morespells, creating a net pattern on the ground in the process.
“Walk thestreets and make sure to use this annoying habit of yours to clack it againstthe ground,” he instructed, “Every time you do-” he clacked it into the ground“It’ll create a mark.”
A pointappeared on the pattern.
“What’s thatfor?” Varg frowned at the point.
“It’ll createa map and show me the areas were my tracking spells aren’t working. There can’tbe many blind spots. And if the princess is actively hidden from us, it’ll atleast show where she is not,” Myth forced himself to stay calm. Telling thewolf the truth should keep shenanigans down.
Varg hummedunder his breath clacking it on the ground multiple times, as if testing thesound.
There wasno visible effect on cane or ground, but the point seemed to brighten a bit.
“Well, betterthan being coped up somewhere. I know where the exit is,” he said and strolledout.
Myth heardthe clacking of the cane distancing itself until a door closed.
Finally!Hopefully he showed more manners if he did find the princess.
More Myth x Lucette? "053. Keeping a Secret" Your writing and this ship is just *squee*!!!!
053 - Keeping a Secret
Keeping a secret was easy, if there was no one to share it with. Myth had always made sure that his secrets were all his own. No witnesses to his magic. No one seeing through his glamour.
But this, this was a different kind of secret. A delicate game of hide and seek, right under the nose of the Lucis bearer, the traitor, the king and Alcaster.
Not that he was much better than the traitor now. And even for the same reason.
He had never been so relieved to have been able to convince the princess to keep quiet about his magic (he had needed to show her the Crystallum for that) than when she had revealed herself to him, through the glamour the fairy bearer had cast.
The in a maid outfit was scandalous. And amusing. Not that he would ever admit that to her face. Just because she was much more stable about her favour than her mother didn't mean he needed to risk her goodwill.
And she was letting him close enough, to run his fingers through her hair, trusting him to keep Alcaster in check and Varg on a leash. She hadn't been happy about the curse, but it was better than letting the knight disappear, just because Alcaster was an idiot.
And they even had a good alibi already thought up for him as well. The king was letting of regular rants about witches after all. The late queen was visibly enclosed in the crystal and the fairy leader may not want to keep that a secret and they didn't need to lead revenge seekers straight to the Tenebrarum.
Only revealing his identity just before the birthday would be much safer than giving stupid humans a chance to damage the crystal in panic at seeing Hildyr.
A pity that most of these secrets would come out soon.
