THIS GOT TO ME WORSE THAN THE N'EVER GANG ANSWER!!!!!

OK OK OK I NEED TO BREATHE FOR A SECOND

MA'AM WHO GAVE YOU THE RIGHT TO HIT SO HARD WITH THESE FAIRY TALES????

SMARTASS GOING IN AND SAVING THE LIVE OF HIS LIFE!!! WHEEZY AND CRAZY WITCH READER BEING IN LOVE!!! PSYCHO BEING THE ONE DESTINED TO PROTECT READER!!! GREASY NOT CARING ABOUT READERS HAGGARD LOOKS AND JUST ABOUT THE FACT THAT THEY ARE MEANT TO BE!!! STUPID BEING OBLIVIOUS TO READERS LOVE FOR HIM BUT READER DOESNT CARE!!!! (That one in particular destroyed me. PLEASE! I need to see these two be happy!! 😭)

I would read all of these if they were actual fairytales! Or just fanfiction! They break my heart so much yet heal them at the same time!!!!

And- The Toon Patrol being corrupt guardsmen??? I don't know why but that never occurred to me that that's what they'd be 😅 but I love it as much as them being bandits!!! Imagine Doom takes them with him while he visits neighboring kingdoms! And perhaps the ruler if one of these kingdoms is Y/N~? Or a criminal they throw in the dungeons- or a fellow courtier!

I wish I could think of the right words to express how much I love this answer, but the most I can give you is a barrage of emojis

Alright, Toon Patrol in a fairy tale environment. Here we go!

In this world, I guess either the toons take the place of the fairy tale characters and have their own stories (like Bugs Bunny would be 'The Clever Hare', Popeye could be 'The Iron Sailor' or something, etc). Either that, or the toons are in the medieval time period.

In the Toon Patrols case, they are a group of misfit bandits. They don't have specific territory since they can go anywhere- and they do go everywhere. They attack unsuspecting travelers, royal carriages, etc. They're so notorious, you can find wanted posters for each of them posted in towns and taverns.

Smartass is, of course, the leader. Rumor has it that he was spurned by a royal lover, and that has led to his spite for the upper class (totally not a reference to my divorcee HC).

Greasy is the amorous one. Pretty ladies are in danger of his wandering eye and hands in this AU too. You can always rely on Greasy to get a handful of women they rob. He is also the bandit most often found in pubs on his own.

Wheezy is the- well, the archer in this AU since guns wouldn't be a thing back then XD just because you can't see him, doesn't mean he doesn't have his eye on you; anybody that manages to run away from the other weasels are at risk if getting an arrow in the leg- or worse, depending on whether or not they're 'disposable'.

Psycho is the lunatic who never should have been given knives. Faster and much more animalistic than his teammates, you don't want this nutter chasing you down in the forest.

Stupid is the strongest of them all, and is often tasked with carrying the heaviest loot and/or the camping equipment while they're on the move.

Eventually, when the old king died and was replaced by a mysterious man by the name of Doom, the new king decided to use the renegade weasels and made an arrangement with them; he would clear their names and ensure they would never be arrested for their crimes, if they worked for him. Seeing this as a once in a life time opportunity, the weasels accepted.

I'm indecisive on whether or not they join Dooms guard, or if they remain as bandits and are simply rebranded to a more 'lawful' term. But either way, they give Doom information they get from their victims, and do the occasional job he gives them.

This one I'm gonna leave S/O headcannon free since sleep is finally catching up to me XD I'll let you fill that in if you want ^^ i hope you like these!

Bandit!Greasy:

Alright so it is almost 1.30 am so I hope this is coherent XD But um- this is gonna be clunky. Because-

TOON PATROL

IN A F A I R Y T A L E AU???

This is something I trust didn't know I needed so bad, I-

AGHH.

XD

I L O V E THIS IDEA. Even without the weasels this is absolutely a fairytale I would read!! A corrupt King with evil little known-criminal minions? It reminds me if Scar and the Hyenas while he was King! I wish they had shown us more of that time 😅😅

Omg!- I would love if they were like evil corrupt knights omg XD You know I love that kinda thing 😅😅😅 But both ideas are great, I just love the concept as a whole XD

AS IT HAPPENS, I DO WANNA FILL IN THE X READER STUFF, YES. I hope you like these 😅 They're all set before Doom becomes King, I think 🤔

~

Bandit!Smartass x Random Background Villager!Reader who's tough, rational and level headed. She is the only woman Smartass acknowledges as a lady?? Despite no real fairytale role or happy ending afforded to her?? She's just a washmaid??? But she's low-key, and he likes that. No fairytale ending means no drama. And- he just likes her. Genuinely. They argue like an old married couple and the Toon Patrol Bandits always seem to stop by her village by 'coincidence', and everyone knows its just a matter of time.

-or circumstance. When Y/N's village becomes a target for a raging dragon maybe Smartass will... you know... face his issues with love and realise that Y/N is Not Like That? She wouldn't hurt him, or she's just Worth It, and steals a carriage+leaves the rest of the weasels behind wherever they were when he hears in order to get there for her.

Bandit!Wheezy x Wicked Witch!Reader who hates people *cough* except him. Yes, she's one of those crazy ones who like to curse villages, eat children and take princesses hostage when she's bored. She's kindof wacky. But Wheezy has come to just really... like her? Like hanging with her? They click???? She's nuts and actually out of her mind and truly freaky, kinda weird looking with her gross hair and soot on her face and rags covering her body; completely uncivilised. But? He? Loves her?? She's funny and she's cute in a mangy-dog sorta way, and she doesn't mind he's gross himself. He doesnt know about telling her his feelings,.. the crazy bat might try to set something on fire from shock,.. but he knows it and that's all that really matters.

Until a king sends his guard to come and execute her for her crimes against the crown (she... might have... perhaps... turned the queen into a chicken) and it becomes very obvious Wheezy's butt-fuck in love with her when he refuses to get out from between her and the pack of guards.

Bandit!Psycho x Sleeping Curse!Reader who is, obviously, asleep when the Toon Patrol Bandits come across her in the forest. Most of the weasels are uniterested in the sleeping woman and move on, but Psycho is immediately intrigued, feeling instinctually close to this snoozy female laying like a corpse in the woods. This is his mistake, but its also how the story is written (fate), so I guess he cant really be blamed. He doesn't know why... but he's drawn to her, staring at her and watching her sleep. He can not figure out why, but he just... has... to stay...

And now...

He's getting...

Sleepy...

Psycho is drawn into the curse with her, standing over her body dead asleep like a stone guard until the day that Prince comes along, and kisses her- and he is jolted awake instead.

Turns out, the princess had been put to sleep by her parents a long time ago. It was an effort to keep her safe- the idea was that she would sleep, blissfully unaware of the dangerous world around her, until the right person came along to protect her; then she would be allowed to live, because she would have her guard. Different worthy men would be drawn into her sleep with her so that they couldn't get away before proving themselves or not, and when a threat (a foolhardy prince attempting to have what wasn't his to take) came along, they would wake before her and if she woke up then that would mean that he had gotten rid of the scoundrel- and she was safe in his care.

Psycho is the only one in a thousand years, who protected her.

Bandit!Greasy x Hag!Reader and Greasy is just... enamoured with her. Completely besotted. Smitten. No one knows why; she's so ugly. Has she spelled him? But no, she seems just as confused as everyone else!... Maybe Grease is just a freak?

This goes on for a few months- Hag!Reader tries to go about their sad unloved life, trying to ignore and forget the odd bandit that's surely maming fun of her, and Greasy keeps seeking her out and being kind to her!; giving her food, shelter, and gifts! He compliments her, too, says her dirty smudged skin makes him wanna sin and her sunken eyes spell him to think dirty things that make her head spin!... He never once ignores her flaws or tells her she's prettier than she is- he seems to get off on them, instead!

... Greasy may never admit that its because he had a premonition that he and her were meant to be, the day he first saw her on the street. No one knows he can do that, and they can't because seers are often killed for their gifts- but he can do everything else in his power to convince her he loves her. He wants her.

And he will. For as long as he lives.

Bandit!Stupid x Princess!Reader. It's a classic story; Reader is approached by all kinds of princes and noblemen from around the world asking to marry her but she loves the sweet bandit she met. He's the only one she wants.

... except Stupid doesn't know that 😅 He thinks he's just lucky when they keep running into her carriage (travelling through known toon patrol territory) to stop and rob, and he gets to see her again. He thinks its lucky, that she always has just enough gold to please them. He thinks it's lucky, that she's so kind and understanding about them 'robbing' her.

She won't tell him, though. She's happy to get herself robbed every week just to see him (she's got the riches, so why not?). This way they can be friends, and she doesn't upend his life which being with a princess would do. If she has to go down in history as the strict Queen that never married, that's okay. Maybe one day lobg after she's dust, someone will decode her journal; figure out her love story with the sweet, dumb bandit.

But its okay if they don't.

Caged Bird | Prince!Oikawa Tooru x Reader

a/n: if you know anything about fairytales then you might realize that the reader has the flute of the pied piper, though modified for the story. been watching a lot of once upon a time and got the idea from the neverland arc. hope you enjoy!

word count: 1.9k

genre: fantasy, romance

trigger warnings: reader gets hurt a bit but nothing graphic

summary: oikawa has always lived a lonesome life in the cage that is his castle. one day he sneaks out and a beautiful melody leads him to you, a traveling musician. oikawa is about to find out that his luck is going to change for the better.

oikawa gazed out over the town from his balcony

he let out a long sigh as he grew bored from his studies

“why the long face trashykawa?”

his bestfriend and knight walked up next to him and leaned against the railing

“oh you know, just bored of being in this castle. theres a whole town of people out there and im stuck in here. gets tiring after a while”

iwaizumi listened to his friend and nodded along to what he was saying

“then sneak out for a day”

oikawas eyes widened

“youd help me sneak out?”

“only if you come back by sundown”

so oikawa grabbed his cloak and thanks to iwas help got out of the castle

despite being born and raised in this town oikawa had no idea where he was

and after about ten minutes he was completely and utterly lost

until he heard the faint sound of a flute

he followed the sound until he ended up in the mostly cleared out town square where he saw you playing a small wooden flute for those who were present, though you had no audience

everyone walked past you as if you were invisible like you werent playing such a beautiful song

he approached you slowly and listened until you finished your performance

“that was really good”

you looked up at him and smiled

“always a pleasure to play for those who need it”

the bright smile on your face felt warm and inviting

like he was meant to be here

“would you like to take a seat next to me?”

you gestured to the spot next to you and he gladly took it

“so...whats your story”

hes hesitant to answer your question

“ill tell you mine if you tell me yours”

you set your flute down in your bag next to you

“well first of all my names y/n and my life is nothing too interesting. im a traveling performer and play my flute as a way to pass time and help those who need it. always come across the most interesting people this way”

traveling. thats something oikawa could only dream of

“so cmon now tell me about you”

he peaked at you through his hood

“ok but dont make a big commotion..im oikawa tooru”

you laughed a bit

“thats funny you share the same name as the prince”

you stopped laughing when you saw the serious look in his eyes

“oh..oh! im so sorry for being so rude!”

you started to scramble around when he grabbed your wrists to stop your movements

“shh yes im the prince but stop flailing people are starting to look”

once you had calmed down he went on

“ive been confined to my castle my whole life and stuck to certain rules i have to follow. it seems like even if i catch a break something else comes along. i have to stay this perfect image because im the prince and it just gets so lonely. its as if im a bird trapped in a cage and theres no way out”

ah so there it is

the reason he could hear your flute

you picked a flower that was growing next to you and placed it in his hair as you spoke

“im sorry your lifes been like that but oikawa, if i may be so bold, even a caged bird will become wise enough to break free. the dream of flying is too great to resist”

Once you had properly placed the flower you smiled at him before standing up from your spot and grabbing your bag

you then held your hand out to him

but he couldnt gather his thoughts

you were so bright it was almost blinding

“now cmon! lets go have some fun!”

he looked at the hand held out to him

and with a leap of faith, he took it

he was going to get out of this cage, this perpetual cycle

and finally add some meaning to his life

day after day you two spent your time together

oikawas days that were once filled with hollow words and empty actions were now filled with happiness

filled with you

and everyday slowly but surely he was falling for you

passing glances turned into prolonged gazes

his heart could no longer stay still around you

you became the key to his happiness

but for now...he had to be content with just being next to you

it would be too selfish otherwise

to ask you to stay with him here in the kingdom...he could never trap you like that

“so what are we doing today y/n?”

you were strolling through the town on a quiet sunday afternoon like you had the last few sundays

“how about we go to the bakery? theyre usually busy but since its sunday i bet its not as packed and then i want to take you somewhere”

he was curious as to what you had in store but decided against asking questions

so you two got some baked goods and headed out towards the woods

“cmon we’re almost there”

you pushed some branches and shrubs out of the way

and one eventually hit him in the face

“watch it y/n! i keep getting wacked by you”

you just chuckled a bit which oikawa had found adorable in itself

it made his heart slow just hearing it

“just come on!”

eventually you two made it to a clearing over a beautiful lake

he didnt know that there was something like this so close by

he was absolutely amazed by it

“take a seat oikawa! we can rest and eat here!”

this moment was just too perfect to him

with you here he felt as if nothing bad could happen

that if he only could see your smile everything would be alright

being content with just being at your side...was no longer and option

he knew that if he wanted this he needed to take his chance

“y/n”

your eyes were full of life and he couldnt help but feel so happy next to you

and before he knew it he was closing the gap between the two of you with a hand gently cradling your cheek

but right before you two could kiss you were ripped away from him

“dont you dare touch the prince commoner!”

oikawa frantically looked around as many of his guards came out of the brush

“get your hands off of them!”

you were pressed to the ground and the sight almost broke his heart

“sorry your highness but we’re under strict orders to bring you back and throw whoever was seducing you to leave the castle into the dungeon”

the guard that had been on you lifted you up like you were a sack and bound you by rope

you gave oikawa a final smile before you were taken away even though you were so banged up that it made him want to puke

he was speechless

this is what he was talking about

being so controlled and monitored made him feel so small and helpless

and he absolutely abhorred it

“your highness your mother is waiting for you in the throne room”

oikawa was beyond upset

this isnt how he wants to live

“mother how could you throw the only good thing in my life away!”

his mother sneered at his words

“only good thing? what need to you have for that filthy peasant! and how dare you cast me aside as if i hadnt given you everything you own, everything you are is because of me! i will not allow for any of this nonsense! now go wash up. and dont you dare ever leave the castle again and i forbid you from seeing that nasty peasant again. wasting your time with such a person...”

he gritted his teeth and was about turn to leave

his emotions were running too high

he wasnt himself and he knew it

but even so...he wont allow it to end like this

he was going to end it on his terms

“no”

“what did you say?”

he stood his ground

“i said no mother. im going to live the way i want and with who i want. ill gladly give up my title because frankly, i never wanted it in the first place. and dont you ever call y/n filthy or nasty again. their so incredibly kind and full of joy and laughter. i can only hope to be like that one day. so ive decided that im leaving. with y/n.”

as soon as the doors shut behind him he let out the breath he didnt even know he was holding

but it also felt as if there was a giant weight off of him now

“im coming y/n dont you worry”

it had been a couple hours since you were brought to your cell

you didnt have any major injuries, just a few cuts and scratches from when you were body slammed to the ground

“do you mind if i play?”

you pulled out your flute and the guard nodded

“thank you!”

you started playing and filled the cell you were in with a relaxing tune

“why do you play if it doesnt make noise?”

you stopped and looked at the spiky haired man who stood outside your cell

“it takes a certain person to appreciate its music”

he just looked at you as if you were crazy

but you continued anyways

until you heard frantic running coming from down the hall

“iwa you gotta let them out”

oikawa was panting trying to catch his breath

“dude no offense but your mom would kill me and you if i just let them out”

oikawa grabbed the key from iwaizumis waist before he even realized what had happened

“dont worry about it iwa. and dont worry about me. today i start my new life. it was good knowing you buddy”

they gripped hands the way they always had. A solemn but knowing look was shared between them

“if i had known me letting you leave the castle one time would lead to this...i would have done it a lot sooner. good luck out there bud”

oikawa quickly turned to you and helped you off of the ground

“you ready to run?”

he cupped your cheek and ran his thumb over one of the small cuts

hed be sure to treat that later

you nodded and leaned into his hand

“are you sure this is what you want?”

you were happy to leave with him

its more than you could ever ask for

“y/n youre the only person thats made me feel free. and by doing this i will be.”

you two finally got to share the kiss you had been deprived of and not only was it full of love but also full of hope for your future

“then lets go”

and you two sprinted off to your next adventure together

the flute you possessed was one he could no longer hear the sound of after that day

for it was enchanted, only to be be heard by those who were lost and lonely

with you he was neither anymore

and he couldnt be any happier than living out the rest of his days with you as a free man, a bird outside of its cage
