#in my au Nigel x Shorty is endgame

[antiquepearlss]

Based on this post about Eugene, Cassandra, and Varian all sharing the moonstone; I wrote it from the point of view that they’re still with Rapunzel. But I have come to adore the idea of them all three ending up with the moonstone, and running away to avoid Rapunzel for her own safety. And Rapunzel, Lance, and the girls trying to hunt them down. Cat and Mouse but sadder, funnier, and with more singing.

Just imagine those three trying to live with eachother full time and on the run, whilst trying to find a way to get rid of the moonstone so they can go home.

Eugene and Varian are already chaotic on their own and give Cass a headache- And while Eugene does take a slightly more mature older brother role when it comes to Varian, they’re still best friends, and those two are no doubt even more chaotic together, meaning double the headache for Cass. Not to mention how Eugene and Cass are constantly fighting and at each others throats. And Varian is desperate to impress the both of them but always trips over his own feet, causing mishaps wherever he goes. When he’s not seeking sibling approval, he’s a sassy teenage boy with anger issues. Cass is just so tired and she just wants to go home and be with her dad and now she’s responsible for two children also apparently her mother was Gothel so there’s that also she is still dealing with the slight Rapunzel resentment.

Now add all three of them having the moonstone.

What I’m trying to say is that this would be a road trip au involving two divorced sword-fighting wine parents and their sassy disaster scientist son. And all three of them have godlike powers due to an ancient celestial deity.

And the b-plot involves Rapunzel being worried out of her mind and being supported by Lance, Kiera, Catalina, and Shorty, which is traumatizing in and of itself. Lance is a great friend and he’s a wonderful pillar of support and advice, but he’s not the strongest when it comes to helping to find his friends. He’s smart but Eugene knows him well and knows how to evade him. And Kiera and Catalina are criminal preteens who want to watch the world burn and are just if no help whatsoever. Also, Shorty.
