The swan lake

Rambling again so...have fun.

This tale actually makes a lot of sense for Lucien and Vassa when you think about it.

A quick Synopsis

In the tale Odetta gets cursed by an evil sorcerer. The spell can only be broken if one who has never loved before swears to love Odette forever. And we have the prince. He comes across Odette and other swans and Odetta explains the curse to him. They start to fall in love. The prince's mother however wants him to marry so they throw a ball. At the ball the evil sorcerer comes in with his daughter,odile, who he had disgused as Odetta so she looks like Odetta. Thinking it is Odette the prince tells he will marry Odile and odette seeing this goes back to the lake and dies. The prince dies with her which breaks the curse on the other swans

We always say how Elain and Azriel are going to be "your mate was given to another" trope but it is actually Lucien and Vassa as well.

Bc...think...

Vassa as the swan aka firebird.

Lucien as the prince.

Elain is Odile in this which is a twist bc elain is not the evil black swan lol. As Odile took odette's place by appearing as her...elain is taking Vassa's place by appearing to be Lucien's mate.

Sorcerer is Koschei

It is all to get Lucien and Vassa away from each other to not break the curse. Lucien as a fae thinks he has to abide by their tradition even tho he doesn't want to mating bond as welll but...it is fae tradition so he "has to". Which is going to push him away from Vassa bc he already has a "mate"

So it is not Elriel who is being kept apart...it is Lucien and Vassa. Elriel is the burned party in this because "the third was given to another" as to keep lucien and Vassa away but their plot will open up to Lucien and Vassa storyline bc...they are not going to stay away in their book which is going to cause problems.

I feel like people are unaware that Auspicious Charming was not the Siegfried from Swan Lake. Siegfried is a German hero of many tales

okay but hear me out. cassandra cain as odile. the black bat as the black swan. made by her father rothbart (david cain) for only one purpose. feeling as though she's nothing more than a parody of odile (barbara gordon's batgirl) and thinking she can never live up. communicating only through her movements. haunted by the potential of what she could be once she breaks free of the role assigned to her.

"As soon as the moonlight leaves the lake, you'll turn back into a swan, no matter where you are."

"Stone by day, warriors by night. We were betrayed by the humans we had sworn to protect. Frozen in stone by a magic spell for a thousand years."

By day one way, by night another, for both, this shall be the norm.

I saw the The Swan Lake ballet adaptation that hails straight from the ballet institution of Russia and it made me think how Disney would have made their own retelling since it was in development at one point. It's a shame they never did it, and if they are reconsidering it now, you best believe I won't be putting much faith in it given their recent track record. They wouldn't allow to retain any of its beautiful, classic elements at all.
