pairing: prince!Carlos Sainz Jr. x princess!reader ( she/her )

summary: Once upon a December, be loved by Carlos was something your heart used to know.

warnings/info: royalty au — not in the present, angst, fluff, non explicit character death (you don’t see it happen), fighting, revenge, reader is 20 and Carlos is 22. also lewis and lando are extras in this, charles is mentioned.

word count: 1.2k

note: literally how did we get here. this was supposed to be holiday-themed, but i guess is just winter-themed, kind of. In my defense, the story starts on the 25th and mainly happens in December. I couldn't resist, this song just transported me to another reality.

i was deeply inspired by the song: once upon a december by christy altomare. i listened it for as long as it took me to write this. enjoy!!!

snowglobe, a holiday special

You stood by the window, red dress covering the high heels on your feet. Almost eight minutes had passed since you asked to be left alone in your chamber. You are anxious; a small part of you is afraid of the royals in the ballroom, which is why the golden band on your finger is twirled over and over again. It's calming. Fourteen days ago, there was a red diamond surrounded by white. Fourteen days since those lovely days in early December, warm brown eyes shimmering as your world watched you walk down the aisle.

You smile. Loving Carlos is past, present, and future now, wrapped in his arms for an eternity. 

“Mi amor,” a deep voice reverberates around the room; it’s not foreign, yet you give a small jump out of your feet, caught off guard. You turn around, and Carlos is standing before you in a black suit, adorned with medals and a sash wrapped around his figure. He gifts you that blinding smile of his as tender fingers reach your hand, prompting you to twirl for him. “You look beautiful." There’s a pause. “I don’t believe there are enough words to let you know.”

“Thank you, mi vida,” you smile. “So do you.”

Hands travel to your waist, holding you close. His fingertips slide down the red fabric, roaming your corset as he leans down to press a chaste kiss on your lips. “Are you ready?” He asks, “It’s almost time to greet our guests.”

“I am ready,” you answer, looking down, verifying your theory that Carlos doesn't have shoes on. “Though you don’t seem so ready, Carlitos.”

“Pequeños detalles, mi amor,” Small details, my love, he teases, and you laugh, “It’s snowing, did you see?” He changes topics, holding your waist firm as he turns you around, avoiding any small incidents. “White Christmas for us.”

You had barely noticed, too focused on remembering. The gardens, kingdom, and beyond are covered by a thin layer of snow, the sun glimmering over them. “It’s beautiful”

“It is,” he mutters, walking forward so his chest is pressed against your back, his chin resting on your shoulder. “Almost as beautiful as you, mi princesa,” he plants two kisses down your neck. “Soon to be Queen."

You giggle, never been happier. Having Carlos by your side, giving you all the love one could wish for—the love that you deserve—is calming, so for the first time in months, you allow yourself to think about turning 21 early next year, the crown falling over your head as the rightful ruler of this land, Carlos by your side as Prince. It isn’t as nerve-wracking as it used to be.

You turn around, lips looking for his and falling in perfect rhythm. “I love you.” 

“I love you more.” 

You’re home building in the eyes of the others when there's a knock on the door, and as permission is given, Ms. Danielle appears. “Excuse me, Your Majesties, it’s time for your entrance."

“Oh god, Carlos, please go put on your shoes!" you exclaim, pushing him slightly. Carlos laughs, sneaking a small kiss on your lips before running away. “Thank you, Danielle."

One blink of a memory takes you down the stairs, the dim glow of the ballroom wraps around people you know and soon will. You and Carlos have parted ways to create small talk with said people; he's across the room, laughing at one of the awful jokes the Prince of Monaco loves to tell. Around you, there’s a group of kings and queens, dukes and duchesses, lines of royal blood enchanted by your presence, questions and anecdotes, laughter, and gossip taking your attention.

A firm grip on your arm turns you around, and now Sir Lewis Hamilton, Head of Army, is in your line of vision. You smile, except unsettling eyes meet yours, and suddenly, if you remember well, laughter fades into screams. People you know, will know, and could’ve known run frightened. You are under attack, and soldiers start defending. Carlos is screaming, giving them orders. He's helping people get to safety, but nobody is giving it to him. 

You want to run towards him, but you are ushered away. You can’t see him any longer; the hands keeping you safe are not the same as they used to be. And you try to leave the safe room, knowing you are trained to fight for it, but they don't let you. They don't let you fall by his side.

Memories fade, jump, and dance. You’re in a meeting room, tension is building up as seconds prance through time. Sir Lewis is defending a point. You feel anger strangling your body. “You must have kept him safe!”

“They took him way before we could reach him, Your Majesty,” he argues.

“How?” You scream. “Do we not have enough people? Where were those who swore to protect his head?”

“They were defending, protecting, or dead before we noticed,” he defends. “Carlos was focused on protecting the people too.”

“I do not care.” You feel lightheaded, fury arrogating your body. “He must have been moved to the saferoom with me.”

“You are more valuable than he was."

“He was soon to be your prince!”

“And you are our future queen,” he shouts back.

Silence falls over the room, and you've never hated your future title so much. You feel eager for it, yes, but not for the right reasons.

“I wish for you to look me in the eye and repeat all of it, Lewis,” you say. He stands still, dropping his tense shoulders, and doesn't say anything. You walk closer, eyes buried in his, searching for malice—there’s none; they’re grieving. “Know your place, Lewis.”

He nods. “My apologies, Your Majesty.”

“I want you to find him,” You demand, not breaking eye contact, “No matter what you must do or how much time passes, I want the man who killed Carlos gone.”

There’s a sudden hunger in his eyes as he nods, leaving the place. You turn around, but you’re no longer in the meeting room. Scaping the sea of memories, you face your reality.

You stand by the window, red dress covering the high heels on your feet, patiently waiting for the right person to enter the room. There’s no anxiety in it; there’s anticipation—the golden band twirling around your finger over and over again.

It’s a beautiful snow day. Fourteen years ago, you were standing right here, mid-December, with a pair of brown eyes loving you, caressing you, and not having enough words to describe you. That type of love is barely a memory, buried six feet below his statue in the gardens he so dearly loved.

There’s a knock on the door. “Your Majesty?"

“Yes, Lando?"

“Sir Lewis is back; no severe injuries,” the boy announces. You hum, already knowing his next announcement: “He’s dead.”

You smile, looking down at your ring. “Thank you, Lando. Get back to your duties now.”

And as the curly-haired leaves, you wonder if this is what revenge feels like. Cold loneliness with a sense of fulfillment. There’s a crown heavy on your head with a target on it, but you are not bothered enough to care about it. Long ago, you could have held mercy over the man terrorizing kingdoms around you, fought until his defeat, but now feelings as such are things your heart used to know.

Your faint memories of Carlos lie in rest, avenged on a white December morning.

Anastasia AU

If you don’t know (which u probably don’t) there’s a tmnt visual novel inspired by the Anastasia AU. So I had to draw Ophie as Anastasia, I had no other choice.

If you wanna play the VN you can find it on Chaoticspeedrun’s blog <3

[almayver]

So. We are and Musicals

At least 3 people said they wanted to hear my ramblings about this, so here you have it, a way too long post about what musical I think each we are character would like/fits their vibe. This also works as a rec list. Watch more musicals, people. Also, this incredibly subjective, anyone that has other ideas PLEASE tell me.

Peem

So my beloved main character, goodest boy. With him, I kept thinking about @jojotichakorn headcanon about his favorite artist being Van Gogh, so of course I had to give him Starry.

Its such a beautiful little show. Very simple, very warm. It would have been so easy to take Vincent's story and make it a heartbreaking tragedy, but instead the show is painfully hopeful and makes it about love and beauty and family and art. And that's very Peem I think.

His favorite song from it:

I believe he thinks a lot about what place his art will have in the world, what his legacy will be. I think he would like this, the way Vincent talks about the starry night being very similar to how he talks about the water.

Additionally, I think he would like the golden age musicals, he likes the joyful simplicity of Singing in the rain very charming. Also, he gives me some serious vibes of Alice from Alice by heart. I think it's the way they love so stubbornly and so brightly. Or I'm projecting about two characters I love dearly, it's possible.

Phum

I struggled here because it's Phum. My boy. Who I project every single piece of my personality onto. So of course he doesn't just get one. You knew this was going to happen, be serious.

So my instant thought was Hunchback of Notre Dame. Mostly because Out there is the recognized anthem for isolated kids who feel like they don't fit anywhere, having only inanimate figures around you as your company, but also the cathartic energy of brutally murdering your shitty father figure!! And I do think Phum likes a little tragedy sometimes, in his darker, quiet moments. And therefore his favorite song from this one?

But apparently the theme with Phum is more serious takes on vaguely popular Disney films where the main character is very isolated and longs for family and community and love. Because my second thought was Anastasia. Doesn't he give a little of Anya vibes? Someone who is tough and skittish because of the way they had to grow up, living mostly in their dreams. Also, it's such a lovely little love story that I just know Phum would fucking adore. He cries listening to a Crowd of Thousands, he told me himself. (Also not to say there's an AU there but. I mean)

I mean: Home, Love, Family. Need I say more.

And finally (Yes, he gets 3. Yes, I know) It's mostly because I think he would be a Percy Jackson kid (This is also me projecting). But come on, at the very least, you know he had a little crying and screaming along session to Good Kid. Who hasn't really? It's also my head canon that Phum loves musicals, because you know what having an empty apartment means? Yeah, dramatic karaoke sessions. That condo has seen at least one dramatic rendition of On my own, prove me wrong.

Q

For our Maestro I of course had to bring the big guns, so Sunday in the park with George. Yes, it's mostly for the artist element, but also he does fit the very quiet but also slightly chaotic vibe of the show. He seems like someone who could appreciate the slower pace of the show and the points it makes about art and life. And I was thinking about saying that his favorite song would be Finishing the Hat because once again, artist. But actually whenever I think of this show I think about that thing Sondheim said about always crying when the cast sings “Forever”, about art capturing a trivial moment permanently, so:

I also think he would have a soft spot for the Tick, Tick, Boom movie, which all of you should watch and cry about. (I will always take the chance to talk about this movie)

Toey

So Toey was a hard one, but I think I got it. He is such a fun, sweet, lively character, but there's so many other small things hidden under the surface. Like don't think I forgot about Satang fucking killing everyone with that crying scene, I still can't rewatch that; That bit about him being bullied in school, or the way he discovered his passion through Q and stuck to it and followed to college. That to me goes with Into the woods (And its the other Sondheim in this list, he matches with Q!). It presents itself as “oh fun! Fairy tale retelling” and then the show ends, and you are sobbing processing All That. It's very funny and lively, but when it wants, it punches you. And even though No one is Alone fits We are as a whole very well, I would say his song is this:

Fang

Okay this is the first hear me out but, look. Fang? Fang has catholic guilt. Now, I don't think he was raised catholic, I just think his parents were so bad that he still got it somehow. Maybe is the middle child of it all. He feels like someone that doesn't mind tragedies, he likes something a bit sad, just like Phum. It's the catharsis. And so I give him the underrated show that is Bare: a pop opera. This shit is so sad. I think he could easily relate to both Peter and Jason. He would listen to Warning with tears in his eyes trying to believe that the reason his parents suck is that they don't know how to talk to them, they just don't have the words (he will eventually realize that his parents are more in line with Jason's than with Peter's mom and that's going to hurt). And for his favorite song of course it's the very desperate plea for attention, for something, anything, “I try so hard to please you, but you never seem to see”:

Tan

You know what has the same energy as Tan? You know what can be both sweet and over the top? Legally Blonde. Tell me I'm wrong. This show is so high energy, Elle is constant movement and light, and it could be grating, except it is so earnest and positive that you just can't help but be charmed by her. Just like our boy here. And for the favorite song, I think you have to give him the top tier opening number.

Chain

This one was tough! And I went with a weird choice, but for him, I'm thinking Funny girl. I'm not even sure why, but I think his demeanor feels a little similar to Fanny's especially in the second half of the film. Idk this one is a wild one, but he just feels both funny and resourceful but also has a certain calm to him. Also, we know he has a fondness for ridiculous people. And for the song, well. Dedicating this one to Pun.

Pun

Our wild, kind boy. Hear me out. Ride the cyclone. He has the insane chaotic energy, he has the range, but also I believe he has the heart and the hidden depth. It's very intense and nonsensical and if you do like me and watch it with no context you just spend most of it going “Huh? HUH?” while cackling or crying. And I think that fits Pun. I think he would try to explain it and all the group would be like “yeah that seems wild, it tracks” and then he watches it with Chain, and he is like “… so that was both weirder and sadder than what you said”. Part of me wants to say his favorite song would be Space Age Bachelor Man because it's a trip, but actually, this is more his vibe I think:

Beer

My boy!! My man!! He is so underrated and a bit of the odd one out, so im giving him an extremely underrated musical that is very unique: Anna and the apocalypse. That movie is everything to me. It's a musical! It's a Christmas movie! It's a zombie movie! It's very wild and fun but also very emotional and real in many ways. For all the chaos of its premise, it tends to be very grounded in terms of the characters and their emotions, and I feel like Beer would vibe with it. I'm also heavily projecting. For the song, I choose the bop:

Mick and Matt

I'm putting them together because my logic was kind of the same with both of them, and I think either of these shows would fit them. So first, Holy Musical Batman. Just a very funny, very wild musical about Batman filled with candy puns. Fun, classic, simple. They would enjoy this bop and just how entertaining it is.

Now this one is another hear me out but. Brahmāstra. I know I'm in the minority, but I adored that movie. It's so fun! I often say that it feels a little like a superhero movie, and I think that fits the vibe of these two. Also, it has a cute love story there. And the song is in honor of all the times Mick dances in the show.

Fai

We don't know much about her so I'm giving her We are the tigers, because she is the only female character (apart from Aunt Pui) among all the boys, so let her have a musical with only 1 male character.

Some extra bits:

Aunt Pui loves Hedwig. She is chaotic enough, I trust her with my favorite musical.

Fang and Phum love ddlj. They grew up watching it and its very much their comfort movie. They watch it whenever they feel a little down and dream of parents that let their kids live their lives.

I kept trying to find a show that went with the vibe of the group as a whole, but i couldn't. I feel like whenever there is a group of friends, by the end at best someone leaves and at worst everyone dies. But I guess Newsies has a little of their vibe. They actually remind me of starkid. Friend group from college that you are incredibly jealous of and a bunch of them are dating, and they have the coolest weddings. And so take this last song as a kind of We are vibe.

@sunf10wer8 @inonetoomanyfandoms you guys had mentioned you would like to hear my thoughts so!

[ran-orimoto]

Tbh thank you for giving love to Chiaki (the girl in blue from the last episodes of Frontier).

Anon, I think this message is from mid June and I want to stick my head in sand like an ostrich ✌🏻. I have got many projects and new Chiaki will arrive for you, so I can also thank you properly wwwwwww.

For now, though, I’ve remembered I sketched a Pokemon AU Chiaki for fun months ago (another project I will return on sooner or later), but I only posted her on Twitter. Her partner is a Chinchou and she’s from Jhoto like Junpei and Izumi (even if Izumi has lived in Altomare for a long time and idk if Altomare is in Jhoto). She is a coordinator who will discover Pokewood and Pokevision someday, so she shifts from being Izumi’s rival to Junpei’s too.

YES, I’VE GOT A POKEMON AU IN MY HEAD AND SOMETIMES IT POPS UP!

[gardensnakie]

Remember when I made Stranger a Disney princess that one time (Frozen au)? Well I love the whimsy that Once Upon A December by Christy Altomare specifically at 1:33 so forth (if you have Spotify) reminds me of Stranger that I kinda want to make a story board of it

Nemo! I hope you're living it up rn! :D for your Anastasia AU (so good!) I was unaware if you knew about the stage musical version! It's different in some of the plot, but the songs are so lovely and forgive me, but looking at the art of Dottie and Jacob in the AU, I couldn't help thinking of the song In A Crowd of Thousands. It's so lovely and reminds me of them!! I recommend a listen. <3

ANIIII!!

MY DEAR!!!

I honestly was so living up everything, I felt drunk on joy and excitement for all the time I was roaming around in Paris!!!! (the husband brought me to the Opéra again yesterday, before catching our flight, and gifted me with a music box, and I was like ugly sobbing in the shop. omg I need to show you all, fml).

ANYWAY.

BACK TO YOUR ASK.

So, I was aware of the Anastasia Musical because I saw a video of Christy Altomare singing during the Macy's Parade AND of course, being the good fashion-obsessed buffon that I am, I dug around to find pictures of the stage costumes because omg they were incredibly beautiful. However, I never truly watched the entire musical tbh (grave mistake, I know, I will have to rectify that).

BUT.

BUT.

I am listening to the song you suggested right now, and DEAR GODS ABOVE I AM LIKE.

I. AM. EATING. THIS. UP. LIKE. A. CRÉME BRULÉE.

Because while also reading the lyrics IT'S THEM. I can definitely see why it would remind you of them, because it truly sums up their general dynamic (and gods, now I want to draw Baby Dorothea on a carriage during the parade and waving at bebe Jacob in the crowd, fml. I need this. I NEED).

THANK YOU FOR SENDING THIS TO ME, IT INSPIRED ME GREATLY AND MADE ME SO IMMENSELY HAPPY! <3

BACKGROUND

TW alcoholism, drug use, child neglect, stalking, attempted murder

Tierney Devereux was the last child born into the famous Devereux family. Her parents were both well-known singers, with a record label to boot. This meant that all the children were thrust into the spotlight as soon as they were born. Tierney loved every second of it. As soon as she was old enough to talk, she was singing non-stop. Her parents even brought her out on stage during their tours to sing with them every once in a while. Singing on stage with her parents was always the best part of her childhood. That was when Tierney felt the happiest, the most loved…probably because after the high of the performance, her parents were nowhere to be found. Most of the time, the Devereux parents were drunk, high, or fighting. Sometimes all three. This left the five kids to fend for themselves, with the older ones leading the pack.

Tierney learned then that the best way to get her parents’ attention was to be the best performer she could be. This wasn’t too much of a hardship, given that she loved nothing more than being on stage. Only singing wasn’t enough for Tierney; she soon fell in love with acting and dancing as well. Mrs. Devereux, ever the manager, capitalized on this passion and begun encouraging her youngest daughter to pursue all three. This lead to the only logical next step: Broadway. The Deveraux’s hired a full-time au pair solely for Tierney to travel with. Colette would fly to New York with Tierney for auditions, and soon after, rehearsals. Tierney’s first Broadway role was Orphan Chorus Member #3 in a production of Annie when she was eleven. After that, she landed her first named role - Brigitta von Trapp in The Sound of Music.

Her big break came after two years in supporting roles. Tierney auditioned for the titular role of Matilda at age thirteen, and was cast. This was the role that really changed her life, as Tierney was nominated for a Tony Award for Best Lead Actress in a Musical. She was the youngest award nominee in almost twenty years. Tierney went on to be nominated for a total of four Tony Awards, including the two she has won thus far. When that show wrapped, Tierney’s mother thought it would be best for her to live in New York full-time to pursue her career. So Tierney was withdrawn from her school in Nashville, and she moved to New York with Colette. Tierney had a full staff in her New York apartment, including a private tutor, driver, and chef. She only returned to Nashville for breaks, though she dreaded it every time. There was always some sort of drama going on at home, and her parents never seemed to notice she had come back. At sixteen, Tierney stopped visiting her parents altogether. She still went back to Nashville, but she only saw and stayed with her siblings. However, she ended up feeling like an outsider. She lived an ignorant, spoiled life in New York, while her siblings still had to put up with her parents.

But being successful at such a young age wasn’t always as exciting as it sounded. At only thirteen, her life started to get dissected by the media. She was on talk shows, magazine covers, commercials. Her first kiss was on stage during rehearsals. Every change in her body was reported on and recorded. It didn’t get easier as she grew older, either. Then, it was her love life being speculated on, pregnancy rumors, dramatized public “breakdowns”. There was never a break.

So when Tierney began to notice weird things like a shadow moving behind her, an unlocked door she swore she locked, and missing items found in places other than where she left them, Tierney just thought she was overworked. That was, until things got a little more obvious. She began getting phone calls from a blocked number, the person on the other end silent but breathing heavily. They were frequent, coming in every day no matter how many times she blocked them. Sometimes, she would come home to a broken window or deadbolt. A camera would flash with no paparazzi. Gifts left at her door with notes commenting on her daily life, activities, and appearance. A Get Well Soon! balloon tied to the door knob the week she had the flu and was sick at home. Tierney tried to report it to the police, but they either couldn’t - or wouldn’t - do anything.

It all came to a head one night after a show. Tierney had gone out for drinks with her costars after their final run, and stumbled into her home to find her understudy, dressed entirely in Tierney’s own clothes and pointing a gun directly at her. Looking directly at Tierney, she fired the gun without saying a word. What the understudy didn’t count on, though, was that Birdie had left her phone in her friend’s car and he came in to return it. As soon as he saw what had happened, her friend tackled the stalker to the ground and called the police. Tierney was rushed to the hospital and underwent major emergency surgery, losing her spleen in the process. The understudy was arrested and charged with felony stalking as well as attempted murder. In court, it was revealed that her understudy had become obsessed with Tierney and lost her mind. She insisted she never really wanted to hurt Tierney. She just wanted to be her.

After everything was said and done, Tierney decided that she needed a break from the spotlight. She no longer felt safe in her city, on stage, or in her home. Possibly for the first time in fifteen years, Tierney needed her family. So she packed her bags and took the next flight out to Nashville.

WANTED CONNECTIONS

Childhood friends: people that Tierney was friends with before she moved to New York, people she visited when she came back

Current friends: Self explanatory

Trauma bond: someone she bonded with over sharing trauma

Industry friends: people she knows from working together, preferably people that worked in new york often

FWB: yakwtfgo

Affair partner: A married man that Tierney used to hook up with often, whether in NYC or when she came to visit Nashville as an adult. Most likely, this was only a physical connection but can be plotted out. Current or former

[eanul-rmbl]

omg yes!!!

Though, most of these songs don't "sound" like Hypnos, but I imagine Hypnos to these songs.

So take these with a mountain of salt!!

Homage (Mild High Club) gives me a sort of angst that reminds me of a very depressed Hypnos (like Extreme Measures Hypnos AU, ornif you're in the mood for angst)

Sleepwalk (nelward) just has funny Hypnos vibes when he's funny

Write Me Letters (Hot Freaks) for Hypnos and his failing relationships..... (both platonic and romantic) (I love hot freaks)

Puppy Princess (Hot Freaks) for the fact that you can't romance Hypnos in Hades 1 (I imagine Hypnos having a major crush on Zagreus w this one)

End of the Night (Hot Freaks) for the falling out of Hypnos and Meg's relationship

Lovely (Hot Freaks) also for when Hypnos and Meg break up; I think they're still on good terms, since their break up was more casual and they both accepted it rather quickly.

Together Above (Hot Freaks) this one doesn't rly give Hypnos vibes, but the starting lyrics "Beautiful girl who was out of a dream, Love you forever, you know what I mean" fits him well!

Lullaby of the Leaves (George Olson and His Music) for depression Hypnos/Extreme Measure Hypnos AU

In My Dreams (Anatasia Stage Musical (you'll find it under Christy Altomare on Spotify)) for delusion Hypnos when he dreams

Best Friend (Rex Orange County) for the fact that you can't romance Hypnos again...

Lovefool (The Cardigans) for the fact that you can't romance Hypnos....

does anyone have a song/songs that reminds them of hypnos? I've been putting together a character playlist but I've only managed to think of three songs so I can't really use it to set the vibe for my writing- so! I'm outsourcing! please tell me in comments or tags if you have a song in mind! 🙏🥺

so far I've got: I can't remember the dream (tmbg), flowers (hadestown), oh sleeper (the arcadian wilds)
