Monday DE: Mirror mirror on the wall, who's got the best DE of all?

[splash_of_blue]

Afternoon everyone!

I am currently on a break from a quite dull management training course, so I'm declaring a creative writing DE in hopes of being entertained by you all in the meantime.

I pick... hmm, let's see. FAIRY TALE AU.

Post in your pups, let other people pick a pup and/or a fairytale for you. Fulfil the prompt in any format you like.

Dance, my pretties, dance!

McGonagall, any fairy tale you like, "There's a time and a place to be cryptic with one's symbolism, and this is not it! Now get out of my way, or have you forgotten I'm the animate being in this situation?"

Cassian -stealing something legendary.

A treasure

[childofrebellion]

(I recently started a D&D inspired fantasy AU so this is good timing.)
"What do you seek here?" The guardian/lady asked him with her piercing green eyes.

Cassian touched the star on his chest and the daggers at his side as he said, "The Emperor's heart to bring him down and save the kingdom."

There wasn't meant to be a person watching here just a trap for him to get through. Now those eyes didn't leave him and seemed to see within him to all his pain and all that he'd caused in his life.

"So you sneak through my halls? I should kill you where you stand and let the Emperor's men find you and wonder," As she said it, he noticed that she didn't seem to like saying the Emperor's name.

"Why would you give them the satisfaction of thinking that their safeguards caught me? Don't you wish to be free of their watching your halls?" He dared to take a step forward and she hesitated and he knew that he'd found an opening.

She stared at him but he saw something more human in her eyes as one of the crystals arrayed behind her pulsed a pure white and she said, "His heart isn't here but I can lead you to other ways to destroy him."

Cassian allowed himself a small smile as he reached a hand out towards her, "I know you will and you can see open skies again."

At that she was silent but he felt a slight tremble to her hand.

Ooooh, I like this so much! Even in another universe it's Cassian's people skills that let him get the job done.

Charles: The magic mirror is honest. What's more, it has no regrets about its honesty. He can tell.

Fairytale AU what ate my brain today

[last_kallig]

They say many things about the Witch-Queen of Kargal. They say that she is lovely beyond measure and they say she wears a helm because she is so hideous the sight of her will turn you to stone. They say she is dead and they say she cannot die. Some say she commands an army of lizard-men, others an army of ghosts. They say she sits on a throne of gold, or a throne of human skulls. They say she commands a terrible dragon, and has power over storms and lightning.

Even so, there are those that seek her out. For they say she can cure any ill short of death, break any curse, solve every mystery of the universe, for a price. (Though the price is never in copper, or silver, or gold.) They say that no matter how you have erred, no matter what men or gods or other beings stalk your heels, you can throw yourself upon her mercy. (But she can see the shape of your very soul, and you will be judged. Better to die than be found wanting when she looks upon you.)

Knowing the truth from the lies when you stand at the foot of her castle is a tricky thing. Whether you are hero or thief, scoundrel or saint, repentant sinner or devil, ambassador or assassin, merchant or traveler, all hangs upon your choice.

Is it too late for Sariel Rager to get in on this? Because this DE sounds like so much fuuuun!

[splash_of_blue]

Belated, but here's a suggestion for Sariel - Little Red Riding Hood!
