#hector x princess reader au

[streets-in-paradise]

Hello! I was just wondering if you had any sneak peeks into and chapters where Hector married the Mycenean Princess. You have no idea how excited I am to read that. I’d also love to see some sort of conversation or something between Hector and Achilles after the marriage. All of it is going to be so incredible! I literally check every few days to see if anything had been posted.

Hi, welcome back!!! It's so nice to read you again!!!

Thank you so much for asking :) Right now I am finishing the hard process that was completing my first full draft for the next chapter of the original fic. It's a convoluted one, with many interactions needed to advance the plot happening all at once, and for this complexity it took me more work than usual.

An entire month of hard, non stop work, to be more exact lol. Due to this chapter taking me eternity to finish, I delayed the work on everything else ( requests, previous wips, and among other things, the AU fic of the fic) because I didn't have extra time to dedicate. I apologise for that, but I hope the result will be worthy.

This next chapter I am about to post prepares the settling for a first meeting of Hector and Achilles to take place, moment of the fic that has me super excited for because of how the different environment would affect the dynamic. We have a peacefull context where they have practically stumbled on each other accidentally, and their point of encounter is this princess Achilles has fallen for, but the world would rather see with Hector despite for him she is just the friend he made in a diplomatical trip.

It's a huge change, and it completely reverses the logic of their meeting in the canon of the film. In war, Achilles wins. Hector can only keep fighting while feeling quite powerless to the amount of destruction his rival causes. He survives the first encounter because Achilles didn't want to slaughter him without an audience. In a time of peace, and specially in what comes to matters of royalty, Hector holds the advantage. It's his natural environment, he is the image of a perfect prince to be king. Tables are turned, Achilles can't brag. He is moving on Hector's grownd.

It's fascinating and challenging to rethink the characters.

Back to the point after my rambling lol. Unfortunately, I don't have any advances to show you on the AU, but I do can show you a sneak of some Hector scenes in the chapter i'm working on for the original fic. He has moments as this protective friend for her that are frankly so adorable, and there is one big moment for them.

Let me know if you would want to see a bit of it, because for how long it is it will take me a few more days to finish but can easily copy a fragment of a scene for you to take a look.

I hold inmense appreciation for the interest you have in the AU fic. If I find time, I will release at least an oneshot showing my ideas responding some of the interrogants you presented.

Guidelines and Masterlist

Hello! Thank you so much for joining me on my writing journey! (I update my Masterlist every time I post a fic of some kind, except match ups as those are personal).

Feel free to ask for something! But please look at my general guidelines below the cut.

I sometimes just need inspiration. Feel free to reach out, like, reblog and comment on my work! Do not put it in an Ai generator.

I do not write requests with anything including yandere, stalker, s*xual assault or involving characters unaliving thyselves.

I am a little new to 18+ and I will only do headcanons for those right now and they will be covered with warnings.

Almost anything else I will do my best to write! Platonic, or romantic.

I'll do head canons, imagines, preferences, one shots, custom incorrect quotes and match ups(please ask my brain needs a project)

If I ever run out of room for links here, then I will make a Masterlist part two.

General guidelines:

For match ups, just send me the fandom from my list and a little bit about yourself! I would need basic description of your physical features (hair color and eye color), some about your personality and hobbies and whether you want a male or female character! You can request more then one fandom.

For imagines and one shots send me a character or two and a general plot or just if you want fluff or something else.(Ex: Legolas teaching reader how to use a bow.)

For headcanons and preferences send in some characters, and what you would like headcanons/preferences for. (Ex: the characters favorite hugs with their s/o or what would this character be like with reader as a sibling.)

For custome incorrect quotes just give me your nickname and three words to describe yourself and if there is a character you wanna be shipped with and a fandom from my list and i'll have fun. Or just give me a fandom and I'll give ya some incorrect quotes with no insert. All quote collections will contain y/n if a nickname isn't featured and please tell me if you want me(Muse) there or not.

Doesn't matter your gender/sexuality, I will try and do gender neutral readers. I can definitely to female reader and I would be willing to try and write a male reader!

[streets-in-paradise]

You posted a teaser of a chapter where Hector and the Mycenaean Princess get married in order to stop the war. Could you post the link to it? I’m trying to find it, but I can’t.

Also, do you have any plans on writing a few chapters of that story? I absolutely love the idea of it, but I’m a horrible writer lol.

Hi!!!

Thank you so much for sharing such passionate interest, that's wonderfull to read :)

Regarding that story, I do plan to write it, but i need to advance the main story just a little bit more so this no war AU with them together will not spoil the original story. The closest thing to a teaser i wrote was a little drabble i developed while answering an ask. If you want to see it, here is the link:

https://www.tumblr.com/streets-in-paradise/718541829325324288/i-truly-would-enjoy-seeing-the-story-go-that

(Just to clarify, in case it gets confusing when you see it in my masterlist, the Hector x Reader/ Achilles x Reader oneshot i posted two days ago is a completely different, unrelated thing I specifically wrote for someone else.)

I have one new chapter of the main story almost ready to post, it's most likely after finishing writing that one I will have what i need in order to start posting at least one first chapter of this alternative story.

But don't worry at all, I'm going to write it cause i too want to see how that marriage would evolve.

[streets-in-paradise]

Hello! I was wondering if you had the link to the sneak peek or snippet you posted of the Hector x Mycenean Princess fic? I had it once but for some reason can’t find it now,

Hi, anon!!

Sorry for replying so late, I had to dig in my archive to find it.

If you mean that little bit I came up and once posted for that AU fic, here it is:

Hi, I honestly don't know how to use Tumblr; I came here because I looked for where there is material from the Trojan War, I don't speak much English and I'm a bit of the Wattpad generation. I just wanted to tell you that you write incredible and that your characterization of Hector is magnificent. I have a question: What do you think of a possible AU where Hector is not single but he rejects Andromache for some Oc? I want to write about Troy, but wow, it seems like that scenario where it ended up in a witch hunt to separate Hector from Andromache is the most likely. Sincerely, me, not wanting to offend anyone and just being curious.

Hi!!

First of all, I gotta thank you for such sweet compliments on my writing 💕 English isn't my native language either, but I do my best lol.

Now, speaking of your question, i believe you should be free to take your stories wherever you want. Personally, when writing about Hector i tend to go by two routes: he is single/never meet Andromache AUs or different variations of " societal needs and his political role got in the way and now he can't marry Andromache" obstacle to later pair him with someone else ( oc, reader insert, or whatever)

It's a matter of personal taste. Even considering that film Hector and the Hector of The Iliad are quite different persons, I feel both converge in not (willingly) abandoning Andromache for someone else.

The fidelity to his wife is a remarkable trait that Hector displays in pretty much all versions. The movie made it more explicit with the " thank you, my wife waits for me in Troy" line, but Iliad Hector is neither the sort of man I would imagine cheating and/or abandoning his wife to get a new one.Case contrary is Paris, who in the original version left his nimph wife Oneone for Helen and in film version is a fuckboy before meeting her.

I also feel like this about Odysseus. I firmly believe he intended to keep loyalty to his wife through the Odyssey. Circe was dubious due to the power imbalance of her being this witchy goddess, Calypso was literal SA and kidnap. When the next chance to cheat presents itself with Nausicaa, a young mortal princess infatuated with him, he doesn't take it. At this oportunity is the first time he can actually choose freely, and he chooses to respect her and get back to his family.

Both Hector and Odysseus are devoted husbands. When writing oc / x reader for any of them i choose to ignore their canon relationships because I find too out of character for them to cheat or dump their wives. That doesn't mean you shouldn't do it. If that's the route you prefer, you are totally free to do whatever you find better for your story.

My personal favorite trope for Hector is arranged marriage. I find he works great in slow burn romances of all kinds, but that trope just fits him so well!

Speaking of Bana Hector from the film, that scene on the ship when he is scolding Paris for bringing Helen like " what about your fathers's love/ the love for your country?". He is literally yelling him that platonic love matters and he betrayed it for romance. Hector strikes me as a guy that would step aside in romantical love if his platonical affections are being threatened by it. This particular characteristic makes him very appealing for romances developing slowly from an arranged marriage situation, at least in my personal writing preferences.

I hope this may have helped you and feel free to pass by my askbox anytime to keep chatting 😊

[streets-in-paradise]

may i ask, whats the final family? what would that oneshot, and the golden chains fic, be about?

Hi!!!

OMG thanks for asking :)

Well, to start Final Family is a concept - nickname luna ( @losersclubisms ) and i came up to name the group of Chucky survivors in an AU we are constantly working on. Is not a consistent fic with chapters (yet) but more of a concept we gravitate arround writing ideas in short oneshots or drabbles. To briefly summarize, is an AU where the adults from the movies take the young kids from the show under their wing. The nickname " Final Family" comes from the fact that they are all final people. Since Chucky dedicated decades to destroy countless families and they are all whats left, together they make one final family made of final people.

Most of the time we write comfort fics to give the characters a bit of the warm touch that the canon constantly deprives them of. In this one I was writing Lexy, Glen and Glenda playing with Caroline and accidentally giving Nica reminders of Alice that they later try to comfort her about.

Now about Golden Chains, that is the title of the wip for my 23 chapter (soon to be posted) in a precuel fic to the movie Troy (2004). This fic is x reader, but it also serves as my attempt to imagine many events from the epic cycle that were scrapped from the movie. I integrate characters that were deleted and things that were not presented, but making them fit into the tone of the film while also taking my own creative licenses.

Is, i believe, my most ambitious work so far. Is a reader insert fic, but also a space for experiment with all sorts of " what if this event/character would have been included? How can i imagine the film would have reimagined them? ". The title comes from a piece of dialogue that holds significance for the issue this chapter centers on.

In case you are curious, is this short line of dialogue:

----------------------------------------------

Hector had a more eloquent objection in mind. 

“ Golden chains are still chains, your highness. My people will not submit to Agamemnon, not by the blade but neither by the charm of a princess "

----------------------------------------------

Reproducing it out of context will not make much sense, so i will explain the metaphor.

The movie Troy makes a reinterpretation of the war that speaks less about mediterranean bronze age than of our modern world. The greeks are a metaphor for USA militar interventionism and my fic digs deep into that. In the film Odysseus is presented as a king from a satelite-like poor kingdom that follows the mycenaeans because they have no chance resisting their power.

In this metaphor the film already has where Agamemnon = USA, i'm imagining Ithaca in the position of a third world country and Odysseus as a smart leader that pretends to follow the colonialist commands, but actually serves his best interests. For so, since my fic is a precuel, Odysseus is trying to be a political bridge between the both big powers of the time ( mycenae and troy) and take his good advantage on both.

" Golden Chains " is a metaphor for this apparently convenient sounding colonialism, but also for latent fears for the possibilities of a future arranged marriage that are being awakened in the heirs of the trojan and mycenaean crowns.

Sorry it took me this long to reply, i'm gonna try to cut the ramble here lol

[streets-in-paradise]

Hello! Thank you for responding so quickly! I’d love anything you have of Hector. He’s honestly my favorite lol. I do absolutely love Achilles and the Princess, but I have to admit I’m looking forward to seeing her with Hector in spite of the circumstances.

In the original fic, I’m really looking forward to seeing how Achilles and Hector interact. In the AU fc, I’m quite frankly looking forward to everything lol. It’ll be very interesting to see how Achilles reacts and interacts with both Hector and the Princess after Hector marries her.

Thank you for even taking the AU on. You’re already spending so much time on the original fic. It’s incredible and means so much that you’re willing to take the AU on as well.

Hi!!

You are welcome, it's always a pleasure talking to you and I love being asked about my fics/presented with fic ideas.

At the moment of answering this I have finished the basic writing of the next chapter for the original fic. I took my one day off to get away from social media distraction and finish the huge body of text.

Without spoiling much about it, I will show you as promised bits of one scene between Hector and the princess.

For context of it, in case you haven't read the last chapter yet, Achilles has arrived and turned everything upside down. Of all the trojans, only Paris has seen him yet, and his reaction is quite something.

in a suspicious rendition to Aragorn's mysterious intro scene at the Prancing Poney on Jackson's Fellowship of the Ring, Achilles impressed him so much Paris thinks he has seen Ares in mortal disguise flirting with the greek girl. ( blame me for it, troy as a film is FULL of lotr callbacks).

In the scene the following fragment of the not yet posted next chapter belongs in, trojans are arguing after he told everyone what he thought he saw.

She arrives in the scene because she has been gone for a long while fooling arround with her lover, and as the caring friend unaware of their situation that he is, Hector lost his mind thinking she could be in danger.

Facing Hector - sneak peek for the next chapter of my Achilles x Mycenaean Princess!Reader series.

Facing duty hushed the will to meditate on details as she searched for the heir prince of Troy in order to calm him with her presence as Penelope requested. It didn't take much, since the trojans were gathered for dinner in an internal yard of the palace near the section of it they were staying in. Their own servants and the ones obbeying the royals of Ithaca were working together to settle the place.

A heated discussion was going on among the men, reason why they didn't realize of her untill she made herself be noticed.

" … I've heard you were looking for me. "

Her soft deviation hushed all the voices as the curious glances followed her, giving her the strange impression that something must have made them look at her as if they were examining her in a different light.

Paris smiled from afar, inmediately raising her suspects, but the brief visual contact with him broke as his brother approached her.

Hector seemed relieved, perhaps even happy to see her.

" … I searched for you as soon as I got the good news of your return, but the queen told us you didn't want to be seen in the state of your arrival after getting lost in the woods. What i find understandable, for a pridefull lady such as yourself. "

Instead of providing a further clarification to the excuse, she deviated the topic with an inconexed reference.

" Sorry about the wasted clue, Paris told me you got there too late. No one would have seen it coming, so I hope you aren't blaming yourself for the failure … Did you at least found any copper in their load? "

The apology was sincere, a prioritization of his problems in order to show she felt bad about causing him any troubles.

Hector smiled, expressing partial acceptance of the gesture.

" There was also amber, found in greater quantities, and luxury ítems of various kind. No signs of captivity in any of the corpses we found, so I can at least feel comfort in knowing no innocent prisoners of the criminals were slaughtered. "

With complete disregard for her situation, she intended to advance in order to find a spot among them and participate on the argument.

" Any leads to the responsible for this massacre? For what Paris told me, the situation remains a mistery, yet that doesn't mean we can't elaborate conjectures. "

Hector stopped her, grabbing both of her hands in an attempt to make her react.

" An army, for as small as it could be, leaves any sort of track. Whoever did this was alone and faded away with ease … When we were back we thought you dissapeared and I feared the worst."

She followed him, but tried to calm him by resting importance to his worry with jokes.

" Let me guess: you thought this asassin kidnapped me and Agamemnon would have made you responsible for it. That must have been frightening for you, it's certain that he would play the grieving father and fake the love for me he never had just to have the war he allways wanted. "

Although well intended, the tease didn't suit well with the prince.

His warm glance searched for hers and once she dedicated him her full attention he spoke with unmistakable seriousness.

" It was never about him, I feared for you … "

Defensive disbelief was her initial reaction and she tried to free herself because of it, but Hector had for her only reassurance of his caring affection.

" … My friend was lost in the woods while a deranged murderer remains on the loose. "

He released her hands only to bring his to the back of her shoulders in a brief hug that she accepted hesitantely knowing well that his men were watching behind them.

" The wellbeing of Troy is a more rational reason … "

He looked down and chuckled, partially agreeing with that yet not seeking to encourage that interpretation.

" … I care, that's who I am. Why do you allways need to unveil some greater motivation when someone shows concern for you? "

She shrank one shoulder, looking at the side as if the answer would come to her from the audience.

" Men claiming they want to protect me are usually protecting themselves, so I am naturally distrustfull. Even Odysseus, a man I love and respect like a father, has his own interest calculated ahead when it comes to me. I won't judge you for it, I believe it's your problem to think I would. "

Perhaps because the situation had limited his patience, Hector scolded her with no filtering in his phrasing choice.

" It's not my problem if every single man on your life has failed you: from now on and for the rest of this journey I will protect you untill you will get used to not endanger yourself. "

It made her back away, nervously observing the reactions.

" … Stop! Your men are staring, and for comments like that one people tend to think we should be … "

He cutted her off before she could finish the warning.

" Married? Do you think that worries me now? After the terrible day I had? And it keeps getting worse! My countrymen now believe we have been warned by an angered god. "
