throughout most of tts in 2 part eps its titled with the normal title, and then "(Part I of II)" or "(Part II of II)" after

except for cassandras revenge and plus est en vous

ASDFKH that will annoy me but there's another fun fact under my belt!!

I actually don't know what episode it is but i can recite so. much. of that entire scene. hang on i'll try to find it

Varian: Can I have a dog, Eugene?

Eugene: No.

Varian: Raps, can I have a dog?

Rapunzel: Aww, of course you can.

Eugene: Sunshine, we have to be consistent with him.

Thank you so much for your Ruddiger and Varian edit! Ruddiger is truly Varian’s best friend! He was the only one who saw the good in Varian when everybody else dehumanized him. Even when Rapunzel, Eugene and Cassandra met him, it never seemed like they truly cared about him as a friend. Only cared about what he could do for them and not about being friends with him. Which is why it was so easy for them to turn on him. They could all learn a lesson of loyalty from Ruddiger.

Aww thank you so much!!🥰 I’m glad you liked it!💖

Yes I do agree with you, Ruddiger was the most loyal companion and friend Varian had. I think Raps did somewhat care for Varian, but yes it was mostly because what he could do and how he could help them. They made that clear too when Rapunzel said “He’s the only one who can stop the Quirinion, we need him.” That was telling us that’s pretty much why he got pardoned too. I love Raps and honestly it’s really not her fault, it’s the writers for making her that way unfortunately 😒.

Corona’s #1 Hotspot

Word count: 5,562

(This started out as a Crack AU but basically evolved into being more deep and meaningful 😅)

Huge thanks to the gc for helping me develop this idea!

Captain Eugene Fitzherbert was lounging in a chair in his office, reading yet another “peace disturbance” report. There had been a huge club that sprang up a week ago, and the citizens in the town were not having it.  He had gotten reports of the situation every day since the party started, but none of the reports said anything about where the club was located.  And the strange part of all of it was that people refused to tell him. The endless notices were stacked high up on his desk and were starting to spill on the floor. 

Eugene waved around the paper he was reading in a sarcastic manner.

“Mr. Captain there’s a disruption happening, but we aren’t going to tell you where or when! You get to figure that out as part of your job!”   

Just then he heard a knock on the already open door.

“How’s the Captain of the Guard life treating you, Fitzherbert?” Cassandra asked, cynically, picking up one of the notices on the ground.

“Cass. Even better,” Eugene replied, rolling his eyes. “Oh, you know, it’s just great.  Except for the fact that no one in this kingdom is able to be specific!” Eugene yelled.

Cass simply laughed.

“Yeah, that’s one of the best parts of the job: the mystery factor.”

“This is not just a normal mystery, Cassandra.  I have no idea who is running this club or who’s involved and- oh wait this is exactly like a normal mystery.”

“Precisely,” Cassandra replied. “I’ve actually heard some reports about this party around the area as well.  As it turns out, it spreads much farther than just Corona.”

“Well great.  Now I’ve gotta go searching throughout the entire seven kingdoms! Way to lighten the load, Cassan-”

“Not so fast.  I’ve been collecting some clues over the past few days, and the party is definitely happening in Corona.   Apparently, it’s more of an ‘undercover’ kind of club.  There’s a password to get in and everything,” the woman told him.

“That’s all well and good, but how does that help me in any way?” Eugene asked, standing up.

“Because...I know the password, the route to get in, and I have a reason to believe that the party is being run by someone within these very walls,” she added mysteriously.

Eugene walked over to her, the notice in hand.

“Wow.  As much as I hate to admit it, that was actually a lot of help.  If you don’t mind my asking though, how do you know all of this?”

Eugene figured that Cassandra may have had connections going through a long line of people since she had been gone “finding herself” and probably knew some people by now.  She decided to come back to Corona to visit yesterday, and he had to admit it was nice to have her back.  Maybe solving this mystery together would feel like old times.

To his surprise, however, Cassandra simply put one of the notices on the table and flipped it around backward.

“Pencil?” she said, more like a command than an ask.

Eugene looked at her in disbelief and gave her a pencil that was sitting next to her hand.

“Do you really want me to do everything for you?” 

“It’s more fun that way,” she replied.

Cassandra rubbed the pencil lead onto the paper, revealing some sort of map.  As she rubbed a little further, words began to appear.  Eugene guessed that that was the password.

“How did you figure that out?” Eugene asked dumbfounded.

“It’s a basic rule, Fitzherbert.  Always look for more clues in any way that you can.”

Under further inspection, the map seemed to be a layout of Herz De Sonne’s tunnels that ran under Corona.  There was only a select few who knew about those tunnels, so Eugene could see where Cassandra’s reasoning had come from.

“Okay, so what’s our strategy here? Interrogation? Good cop, bad cop?” He asked, rubbing his hands together.

“You basically just said ‘interrogation’ twice and no.  I was thinking of something a little more discreet...”

“Rapunzel, can you hand me the wrench over there?” Varian asked in a muffled voice from underneath his machine.  

Rapunzel had come into Varian’s workspace that morning to see how the hot water machines were coming along.  It was Varian’s second week as Royal Engineer, and she liked to check on him just to see how things were going, and to make sure he wasn’t under too much stress. Varian was just finishing up his last machine, and he’d been enjoying the princess’ company through the whole process. He had gladly put Rapunzel to work the second she showed interest since she was one of the only people he actually trusted to handle his alchemy.

“Sure thing, Var!” Rapunzel replied as she tossed him the tool.

Varian grabbed the wrench and twisted in the last bolt with satisfaction. 

The engineer stood up to admire his handiwork as he slid his goggles back to the top of his head.  

“Done!” He exclaimed.

As soon as those words escaped his mouth, there was a loud explosion, and bolts shot out everywhere. The princess and the alchemist's hair shot up from the blast.

After a moment Varian let out a sigh.

“On second thought, we’re going to need that wrench again, heh,” he gestured to the tool that had flown to the other side of the room.

Rapunzel laughed and helped him pick up the remnants of the blast.

Eugene and Cassandra walked in to find the mess, and Eugene immediately starting to help with the cleanup process without a second thought.  Ever since Varian had become the Royal Science Nerd, it was a normal occurrence to walk into an explosion.

“Hey, Sunshine!” Eugene called to Rapunzel.

“Hairstripe,” he added to Varian, who waved.

“Cass and I were talking about investi-”

Cassandra elbowed him.

“Er, I mean going to an event tonight.  How does that sound to you?”

Rapunzel perked up and walked over to him.

“An event? Sounds fun! What kind of event?”

“We’ll explain on the way, Raps,” Cassandra added. It’s kind of more of a...secret thing.”

Varian also perked up at this but said nothing.

“Ooh sounds exciting! Can we invite Varian too?” Rapunzel asked.

“Well-“ Cassandra started.

Varian cut her off.

“It does sound fun, princess, but I’m pretty slammed here as it is, heh,” Varian said, gesturing to the mess around him. “I’ll probably be working all night.”

Rapunzel frowned a bit and went over to comfort Varian.

“You don’t have to feel pressured to fix all of this by tonight. You have a lot of time before the actual inspection next week,” she told him.

Varian shrugged.

“Yeah I know I just like to get my work out of the way, heh.”

Eugene walked over and ruffled the boy’s hair.

“Don’t work yourself too hard, kid,”

Varian laughed nervously.

“Haha, I’ll try not to,” he replied with a slight smile.

Ruddiger jumped up and grabbed the wrench out of Varian’s hand, running away with it in his mouth.

“Gah! Ruddiger!” Varian called running after him, “Give that back! It’s not an apple!” 

The remaining group laughed at the boy.  Varian had had his dark times, but he was still just a dorky kid at heart, and they all loved him for it.

“Who’s ready for lunch?” Lance called out the window in a sing-song voice.

“Oh! Me, Me!” Angry answered from the ground.

“I’m hungry as a wolf! Catalina said, darting into the treehouse as soon as Lance called them in.

She briefly changed into her werewolf form and let out a little growl, making her dad jump.

“Sorry!” She exclaimed as she sat down.

Lance warily set a sandwich in front of her.

“How do I keep forgetting that you can do that?” He asked.

Angry walked inside with three other people trailing behind her.

“Don’t look at me! They just followed me in here!” Angry retorted when Catalina gave her a look.

“Lance, buddy! Can you spare some chow for some poor lost travelers?” Eugene asked his best friend.

Lance turned around to face his visitors.

“Eugene! Princess! Oh and is that Cassandra? Good to see you all again!”

“Hi, Lance! And hello girls! Where have you all been? We miss you around the castle,” Rapunzel told them.

“We’ve been here, Princess.  I’ve definitely been busy taking care of these girls.  No one said being a father would be easy,” he laughed.

“Hey! it’s pretty much only Angry who gets into trouble!” Catalina yelled.

“I’m not the one who can grow claws and a tail!” Angry bit back.

“See what I mean?” Lance told them.

Rapunzel giggled.

“Well just know that you’re always welcome at the castle anytime!” she exclaimed.

“Well only if it’s alright with the honorable Captain Eugene Fitzherbert,” Lance mocked Eugene.

The Captain slapped his friend on the back.

“Of course it is, mighty Lance Strongbow, father of two,” Eugene retorted sarcastically.

Lance blankly looked at him.

“Yeah you are never saying that again,” he scoffed.

“Agreed,” Eugene said quickly, taking his hand off.

Cassandra only laughed cynically, which Eugene tried to avoid.

“Now about lunch, I only made enough for the girls and myself but I’m sure I could make some more-”

Rapunzel cut him off.

“It’s alright Lance.  We had lunch at the Capitol.  We actually stopped by with an invite for you all!”

Cassandra nudged Eugene again.

“Oh, that’s right! We’re going somewhere tonight, just a small outing, and we were wondering if you and the girls would like to go,” Eugene stated.

Lance and the girls shared a hurried glance.

“Ah. I’m sorry Eugene.  As much as we’d love to go, we’re having a family game night tonight.  It’s a very important ordeal,” Lance phrased carefully.

“A game night, huh? What kind of game?” Cassandra asked suspiciously.

Lance struggled to answer her question until Angry spoke up.

“It’s a...card game! One that we made up on the first day we moved here.  It’s actually a deck that Lance kept from the orphanage so it’s very sentimental.  It  serves as a reminder of the family bond that we have created and how we will always love each other no matter what.”

Catalina and Lance gaped at her, and Rapunzel gave her a big hug.

“Aww, you guys that’s amazing! Sounds like such a great family activity! We’ll leave you to it!” the princess exclaimed.

Cassandra objected.

“Wait, Raps maybe we should-”

“Thank you so much for stopping by!” Lance said, while practically pushing them out the door.

“I don’t think-” Cass started.

Catalina slammed the door quickly, and the group let out a sigh of relief when Rapunzel and gang were finally gone.

“You are one good liar,” Lance smiled at Angry.

She gave him a sly smile.

“Well, I did learn from the best!”

~

“Believe me, it’s Lance. He was acting way too strange back there,” Cass told Eugene when they got back to the palace.

“Oh, that’s just like you Cassandra. Going after my best friends.”

Cass scoffed. “Though it may be hard to get through your head, this isn’t actually about you, Fitzherbert. You seriously don’t see all the obvious clues?” she asked condescendingly.

Rapunzel heard their fighting and stepped in the middle of them to break it up.

“Woah, woah, slow down you guys! I’m not quite sure what this is all about, but you heard what Angry said, Cass. They’re having a special family game night and it’s understandable why they couldn’t come,” Rapunzel told her sympathetically.

“Raps, trust me, it’s all a cover-up! It has to be Lance,” Cass repeated.

“Cassandra I have to side with Eugene on this one.  I mean, being a parent is hard work...” Rapunzel trailed off.

“Ugh, fine. But when we get to the party and it really is Lance, I can’t wait to see the looks on both of your faces,” Cass jeered.

~

Once Eugene and Cassandra filled Rapunzel in on the whole “secret party thing,” she was thrilled and wanted to go as soon as possible. As the sun began to set, the group met up at the opening to the underground tunnels wearing cloaks with hoods to conceal their identities. They jumped down into the entrance, and Rapunzel started navigating using the map and a torch so that they could see where they were going.  She really missed her glowing hair at times like these.

“Listen, guys. I’ve been in the tunnels multiple times and they are lined with booby traps.  We have to be very carefu-”

She was cut off when Eugene stepped on a loose brick in the floor, triggering two arrows to come flying at his fiancee.  They were luckily blocked by the torch in her hand.

“Nice going,” Cassandra remarked.

“Well, that’s one down,” Rapunzel laughed nervously.

After about an hour of walking, the group neared the end of the tunnels.  They were able to make it through mostly unscathed, though Eugene did trigger his fair share of booby traps.  The map led them down one more tunnel which felt very familiar to Rapunzel, but she wasn’t quite sure how.  The tunnel ended with a ladder leading up to a trap door that the group assumed was the entrance to the party.  Eugene was holding the map now, and they waited for him to say the password so that they could get in.  Eugene glanced at the paper quizzically and cleared his throat.

“Boats.”

When nothing happened, Cassandra looked at him in disbelief.

“Boats? Are you serious? That’s the dumbest password I have ever heard.”

“It’s not like I came up with it, Cass!” 

Rapunzel heard a gear begin to turn and quickly shushed them.

“Shh guys! Listen!”

The sound of gears turning grew louder until the trap door started to slowly open.  

“Ha! I told you! Maybe this guy just has a thing about boats?” Eugene whispered.

“Does Lance have a thing for boats?” Cass asked sarcastically.

“...I’m not answering that.”

The group climbed up the ladder and in through the door, slightly scared of what they might find. 

“Remember, we are here to stop this party.  While we can have some fun, please try not to get too sucked in,” Cassandra told the couple.

~

The first thing Rapunzel noticed was the music.  It was incredibly loud for just a small band, and she saw that the instruments had been hooked up to a speaker of some kind to amplify their sound.  The room was packed with people and it was incredibly dark except for hues of pink, green, and blue light shining in all directions.  The light also seemed to be spinning somehow. Before she could tell what was actually making the room glow, she was pushed in the direction of a clump of people dancing and yelling.  Rapunzel couldn’t resist and jumped right in with the rest of them.

Eugene was the last one out of the trapdoor, and he was also pretty blown away by the sight of the event.  He saw Cassandra waiting in a corner and walked up to her.

“This is some party, huh? By the way, have you seen Rapunzel?”

Cass gestured to the mosh pit-like clump in the middle of the room.

“We already lost her,” she shrugged.

Eugene watched as Rapunzel quickly became the life of the party, and it took him back to their first day in Corona together.

“Yeah, I should have seen that coming,” he laughed. “Should we go join her?”

Cassandra shrunk back into her corner.

“Parties aren’t really my scene, but knock yourself out Fitzherbert,” she told him as she pushed him out into the crowd. 

“Just remember to arrest Lance when you find him!” Cass shouted to him.

Eugene found Rapunzel and they began dancing together as the last song ended.

Suddenly, the crowd became quiet and moved to make way for a man in a bedazzled suit holding a microphone-type device who stepped up on the stage. At first, there was only a shadow, but a spotlight flipped on and Eugene could clearly see who it was.

The Captain gasped.

“Lance?”

Cassandra hadn’t been paying attention but tuned back in when she heard that she had been right.  She quickly ran over to the couple to brag to Eugene.

“Ladies and gentlemen, thank you so much for making it out here tonight!” Lance began.

The crowd erupted into applause, including Rapunzel who was sincerely enjoying the moment.

“Let’s give a big round of applause for our band, coming all the way from the Snuggly Duckling!”

The crowd cheered once again, Rapunzel getting even more into it when she saw all the thugs on the stage.

Once the applause died down, the music started back up again and Lance brought out a flashcard from his pocket.

“And now...the moment you have all been waiting for…”

A confetti cannon exploded somewhere near the front of the stage and the lights all focused on the middle of the stage.

“The one who made the magic happen...”

“Wait what?” Cassandra whispered.

“I told you it wasn’t Lance!” Eugene whispered back.

There was a loud throat clear from behind the curtain.

“Oh excuse me, I mean the science, happen,” Lance corrected.

“The alchemist of the hour...”

The group’s jaw dropped as a red smoke bomb erupted, and a familiar kid in a huge coat and a metal mask appeared from the fog.

“Variannnnnn!”

The eccentric alchemist threw his mask into the audience, spread his arms out wide, and pasted a huge smile on his face, taking in all the praise. He really knew how to work the crowd.

“How’s everybody doing tonight?!” Varian called out to the crowd.

Varian took an alchemy ball in his hand and threw it in the air, making a shower of some sort of blue potion fall around everyone.

The crowd cheered loudly in response, but Rapunzel, Cassandra, and Eugene were still trying to figure out what was happening.

“Varian! Varian! Varian!” The crowd chanted.

“Oh, please let’s cheer for something that’s really worth cheering for!” Varian called out. “Alchemy! Alchemy!”

“Alchemy Alchemy!” The crowd joined in.

“That’s what I’m talking about!” Varian unleashed another bomb of color, dousing everyone in purple this time.

He signaled the band.

“Let’s get this party started!”

~

“Hot fizzy chocolate! Get your hot fizzy chocolate right here, folks!” Angry called out.

Rapunzel stood in shock as the party moved around her.

“Varian?” she asked in disbelief.

“Varian,” Angry replied nonchalantly as she handed the princess a drink.

Angry and Catalina were going around the room with plates of ham sandwiches, and the famous “fizzy hot chocolate.”

“Family game night. Sure...” Rapunzel trailed off upon seeing them.

She took a sip of the drink in her hand and was delighted by the sweet taste.

“Oooo! This is delicious!”

~

Cassandra was pacing around on a space on the floor, trying to figure out how she guessed wrong.

“All of this sleuthing the whole day just to find out that Varian is the party animal? How does that make any sense?”

A blond-haired boy not much older than the famed alchemist heard her statement and scooted up next to her.

“Haha, no, no, no. Goggles isn’t the party animal.”

He turned her to face the stage to see Varian throwing Ruddiger, covered in glowing alchemy, into the crowd.

“That is.” He smirked.

“Make way for the party animal!!” Someone random shouted.

Cassandra just stared, completely dumbfounded.

~

Meanwhile, Eugene was struggling to process everything that was happening.

“Hairstripe is the one- I don’t- Come on, he’s a nerd!!”

Apparently, he said the last part of that statement a bit too loudly, because the music immediately stopped and the crowd became silent.

“Looks like someone out there has challenged The Alchemist in a rap battle!” Lance announced.

“Oooooh!” The crowd said in unison.”

“What? No, I didn’t-“

Eugene looked to Varian in the corner, who was already preparing by cracking his neck and his knuckles.

Lance ushered Eugene up on the stage, his hood still obscuring most of his face.

“And what is your name good sir?” The announcer asked in a dramatic manner.

“Ah. My name. Well, which one would you like? I do have three,” Eugene replied.

Lance became very alert at this and took a better look at the man next to him.

“Eugene?”

Eugene pulled off his hood and Varian looked at him in shock.

“Eu-Eugene! Uh...hi?” Varian nervously waved.

~

Rapunzel was enjoying all of the activities that the party had to offer.  Her favorites so far were the glowing, colorful potions that exploded in her face when shaken, turning her hair different colors.  Rapunzel’s hair was now full of pink, blue, and purple and she was having the time of her life at Varian’s party.  She especially loved the middle of the crowd and all of the dancing. Everything was going well until she twirled a bit too fast, and her hood flung off of her head, exposing her to everyone.

~

Varian looked away from Eugene to see the Princess standing in the middle of the room.

“Rapunzel! You’re here too, heh,” Varian voiced nervously.

“And I’m supposing Cass-”

Cassandra threw off her hood, accidentally-on-purpose, smacking the smart aleck kid next to her.

The whole room went quiet, and the crowd exchanged muffled whispers.

Varian turned back to Eugene with a defeated kind of demeanor.

“So I’m guessing you’re here to shut down the party, heh.” He looked down and nervously held his arm across his body.

Eugene was about to say something but stopped himself when he looked around. He saw a whole group of people watching Varian, waiting for what he was going to do or say next.  For the first time in his life, Varian was actually popular and people were enjoying the talents that he had. No one was jeering at him or making him feel bad if there was a slight explosion, it was all apart of the fun. The alchemist had come so far from being one of Corona’s most wanted, and this party was a way for him to boost his self-esteem.  He could at least let it go on for one more night.

After a moment, Eugene finally spoke.

“Shut down the party? No way! The last time I checked I had a rap battle to win.”

Varian slowly looked up at Eugene and a bright smile started to form.  Eugene gave the kid a wink, making Varian laugh out of relief.

“You heard him, folks! The Alchemist vs...” Lance trailed off.

“What do you want your name to be Eugene?”

Eugene glanced at a potion on the table and stated proudly.

“How about Flynnolium.”

Varian’s face lit up for a second, but he quickly regained his smirk.

“You’re going down,” He told Eugene, playfully.

“Prepare to eat your words, kid.”

“Ladies and Gentlemen! Get ready for our next science rap battle! Flynnolium vs. The Alchemist!” Lance announced.

“Wooo!!! Go Eugene!! Go Varian!!” Rapunzel shouted.

“Yeah!” Eugene yelled, hyping himself up. “Wait, did you say science-”

“Go!”

~

Eugene was completely out of breath by the end of the rap battle, and he had lost by a lot.  He had to hand It to Varian, the kid knew his science.

“I hope I didn’t burn you too badly,” Varian joked after it was over.

“No, no. I’m okay. I’ll just have to piece my ego back together when I get back home.”

Varian chuckled and then changed his tone.

“I have to ask, why are you letting me go on with the party?”

Eugene put a hand on Varian’s shoulder.

“Well there isn’t anything dangerous going on, and it seems like it’s a good thing for you.  But I also have to ask, Varian, why did you keep all of this from us? I mean it seems like everyone in Corona knew about this club except Cassandra, Rapunzel, and me.” 

“Hey, Captain!” Pete called, walking by with a ham sandwich.

“See?” Eugene motioned to him.

Varian laughed nervously.

“Heh, well I was just...worried that you guys wouldn’t like it?  I don’t know. I mean I don’t want to lose you all as friends. I still wanted you all to come, though so that’s why I sent all of those “peace disturbance” reports as a way to indirectly invite you, heh.”

“You were the one behind those? Those drove me crazy kid! Your plan did work, though. I mean we’re all here and everyone seems to be having a great time.”

Varian started to smile a little more as Eugene went on.

“Varian, just know that we’re not just your friends, we’re your family, and we will always support you and be here for you no matter what.  You can’t get rid of us this easily,” Eugene smirked.

Varian smiled brightly

“Thanks, for saying that,” he said sincerely.

“One thing that has been bugging me all night though; where did you find this awesome club?”

Varian looked blankly at the man.

“Find? Eugene this is my house. You’re in Old Corona,” he laughed.

The man facepalmed.

“How did I miss that?” 

Varian laughed and walked over to where Rapunzel and Cassandra were talking.

“I see someone’s been having some fun with the explosives,” Varian said, pointing out Rapunzel’s hair.

“Oh, haha yes! They’re so much fun!” Rapunzel giggled.

“Ha, I’m glad you like them!” He told her.

“And how are you making the room glow like this? It’s incredible!” she exclaimed, looking around.

“The power of alchemy, heh!”

No one could tell from the darkness of the room, but Varian was blushing big time.  He had never really experienced people actually liking his inventions and alchemy, and he was glad that he could provide something for the people of Corona to enjoy after all that he put them through.

~

While Varian was occupied, Cassandra walked over to Eugene to talk to him.

“What was all of that back there? Are you making him shut down the party?” She asked.

“Well turns out Varian was actually the one behind the ‘complaints.’ He just wanted us to come but wasn’t sure how to ask.”

“Well that does sound like Varian,” Cassandra stated.

“Definitely. And I mean no one is in danger and no laws are being broken, so I just figure let the kid have some fun and some time in the spotlight.” Eugene added.

“I’m proud of you, Fitzherbert. You’re much more tolerable now than when I first met you.”

“I’m going to take that as a compliment,” Eugene laughed.

~

Cassandra turned back to Varian.

“So, you’re the one who’s behind all of the noise complaints. I should have guessed,” Cassandra remarked.

Varian laughed nervously.

“Heh, yeah.”

“Varian this party is absolutely amazing! I never knew you to be the party-planning type!

Rapunzel exclaimed.

The alchemist chuckled.

“Haha, heh, well honestly it just kind of happened! I never meant for it to turn into this.”

Eugene, Lance, and the girls walked over to where the group was sitting to join in the conversation.

“I’m sorry, Hairstripe, did you say that you didn’t mean for this party to happen? How is that even possible?” Eugene asked.

“Ooh yes! Tell them the story!” Catalina spoke up.

“Well okay.  So first what happened was I met this guy when I was traveling to Bayangor to get some special parts for a project and-”

“You talkin’ about me?” The blond boy asked, popping up directly behind Varian.

“Gah! Yes. Don’t interrupt.” Varian told him, gritting his teeth. “So then I-”

“Wait, Varian, who’s your friend?” Rapunzel cut him off.

Varian huffed.

“Everybody this is Hugo. Hugo this is everybody. So after I-”

“You’re not gonna introduce your friends to me, Goggles? Specifically that beautiful tall one in the corner?” 

Hugo winked at Cassandra who rolled her eyes.

“In your dreams, kid,” she scoffed.

Varian snorted.

“That’s Cass. I wouldn’t get too close if I were you, heh. Now as I was saying-”

“Oh, this must be the beautiful Princess Rapunzel of Corona!” Hugo exclaimed.

“Ugh, you know what, Hugo? Why don’t you tell the story,” Varian said, offended.

Hugo paid him no attention and continued on with his flirting.

“I see why people refer to you as the Sundrop,” he teased.

Rapunzel chuckled uncomfortably and Eugene shot him a death glare.

“Ha ha hello? Yeah buddy, she’s my Sundrop.”

Varian cleared his throat.

“That’s great,  now can we please get back to my stor-”

“Captain Eugene Fitzherbert, I presume?” Hugo went on.

“Yeah, kid. You’re looking at him.” Eugene stated.

“May I just say you are-”

The Captain cut him off.

“Let me guess, you’re the con-artist type who gets through life by flirting with everyone and taking advantage of people.  Trust me, kid.  That life isn’t all it’s cracked up to be.”

Hugo was finally rendered speechless and Varian sighed in relief.

“Finally. Thanks, Eugene. So Hugo basically stalked me back to my house and helped me put together my newest invention, then invited a few of his ‘friends’ over and the number kept growing. Before I knew it I was running a club, heh. Lance and the girls showed up a week ago while it was happening and they wanted to be involved.  I made Lance my Emcee and Angry and Catalina got to help with the food.”

“Which has its benefits because we get to eat most of it!” Catalina added.

“Though I don’t know why it always has to be ham sandwiches. Why not turkey or something? Switch it up, V!” Angry mentioned.

“It’s a delicacy and everybody loves them. Not happening,” Varian shot back.

Hugo found his words again and spoke up.

“Just for the record, I did not stalk you. I told you I could help multiple times before following you home. There’s a difference, Goggles.”

“Eugene can you do that thing you did earlier to shut him up? It was much more peaceful five minutes ago,” Varian remarked sarcastically.

“’Goggles’ is also my nickname! Does this kid have any original ideas?” Eugene remarked under his breath.

“No. He does not.” Varian replied.

“He’s not wrong. By the way, Hairstripe is a great nickname! Might have to start using that one,” Hugo taunted, winking at Eugene.

Cassandra spoke up and interrupted their fighting.

“Varian, by the way, what does your dad think of all this?”

“And now folks, let’s give it up for our DJ, The Knight of the Night!” Lance announced.

Quirin came onto the stage wearing his whole Dark Kingdom uniform and started messing with some new sound equipment Varian had set up.

“You know, I’d say he’s pretty okay with it,” Varian laughed, pointing behind him.

“And his partner, the King of Chaos!” The emcee called out.

Edmund walked on to the stage and started DJing with Quirin. They actually put together some pretty good music.

Eugene’s jaw dropped.

“My dad is in on this too?” 

“Hello, Horace! Glad you could come!” Edmund said, pointing Eugene out in the crowd.

“It’s Eugene!”

Hugo smirked and seized his moment.

“Aw come on, Horace. Don’t look so down. It’s a party after all,” he mocked.

“Kid, I swear, I can lock you up right now,” Eugene told him.

“Jail isn’t fun,” Varian whispered from behind him.

“Under what charges?” Hugo played.

“Well, we can always start with stalking a minor, but I’m sure there are plenty more.”

“Ha!” Varian jeered.

“Oh come on, guys we’re at a party! You don’t want to spend the whole night fighting! Let’s make the most of it!”

“Fine. Truce?” Eugene asked, holding out his hand to Hugo.

“Temporary truce,” he said as he shook it.

Rapunzel dragged all of her friends, including Hugo, into the crowd and they danced and shouted until their feet hurt and their voices were sore. It was a fantastic night for all of them.

~

Varian decided when the party had ended that this would be the last night for his club.  It was a lot of work and he already had enough on his plate already. Besides, he didn’t need an adoring cheering his name to make him feel special, he had his family to remind him of that every day. 

When most of the guests left, Varian had a huge mess to clean up, but all of his friends stayed behind to help him.  He was so grateful to have such supportive and understanding companions like Rapunzel, Cassandra, Eugene, Lance, Angry, and Catalina, and he was even glad that he gained a new friend, Hugo, out of this whole ordeal. Even though the guy drove him up a wall sometimes. 

~

Varian headed into work the next day with newfound confidence, knowing for sure that he could make fully working hot water machines for all of Corona to enjoy. In the beginning, to tell the truth, Varian had been slightly intimidated to be the “official Royal Engineer,” but after seeing how everyone loved and supported him for who he was, even if there was an occasional explosion, he was completely ready to take on the position and all of its challenges with his friends by his side.  As he twisted in the last bolt on his machine, he could almost hear the crowd in the back of his mind, cheering him on.

“Varian! Varian! Varian!”

TtS Scene: Protective Mom Mode

***Varian being threatened***

Rapunzel: *moves in front of Varian, undoing her hair*

Bad guy: Aww, Mommy’s protecting you. How sweet.

Rapunzel: I’m not his mom!

Cassandra: To be fair, you do act like it a lot.

Rapunzel: Well—so what? We’re a family. We look after our own.

Eugene: Yeah that’s great, but could we maybe focus on the problem at hand, people?

~*~

This piece of dialogue’s been sitting on my computer as part of one of my canon divergent fics waiting for me to get the rest of the fic written. But I just came across this gorgeous piece of fanart and it started me thinking about those of my fics with Rapunzel going all maternal on Varian, and ended up deciding to share this on here now. Because why not.

(For the record, Raps and Varian have become my brotp and the vast majority of my fic ideas feature them with a sibling-like or parental-like bond.)

[princess-rapunzel-of-corona]

{sighs and smiles}

Ok you win this round varian!

{smiles}

But after I take care of Eugene, I’m going to go check on you later, and bring you some food because knowing you. You won’t eat unless someone brings you food.

{smiles}

I love you Varian!

{pulls you into a hug}

Has Varian ever fainted from having little sleep?

{sighs}

Yes he has many times

{starts to ramble angrily}

I mean what do these guys think? Why do they think they are invincible! They are not robots! No work is worth risking your health over!

{continues to Ramble}

You’re Raps one was awesome! How about Varian?

Aww, gosh, thank you, Anon! I was really concerned that I might have poked a sleeping bear with some of my responses. (And, I’m still kind of concerned, actually.) ^ ^’

For Varian, let’s see...

--

Favorite thing about them: His role in the third season following his redemption. He was incredibly endearing and enjoyable as a sweet, dorky, innovative, and helpful member of Rapunzel’s gang. I loved how he became a straight man to Lance alongside Kiera and Catalina, and Rapunzel and Eugene taking on parental/guardian roles with him was a wonderful thing that I never knew that I needed in my life.

Least favorite thing about them: This is in no way the fault of the character, but... the behavior of a few in his fanbase left a bit of a sour taste in my mouth, and made me unfortunately apprehensive about him returning for the third season. 

Favorite line: “You didn’t give up on me. I’m not giving up on you.”

BrOTP: Varian and Ruddiger, and Varian and Eugene. Team Awesome, baby.

OTP: Varian and a healthy, rewarding relationship with his father. 

NOTP: Varian/Any adult. 

Random headcanon: I’ve seen some people shipping Varian and Catalina, and I think those two would be very cute together, somewhere down the line.

Unpopular opinion: I wasn’t and still am not the biggest fan of it, but Varian’s villain arc was executed much more smoothly than Cassandra’s... and his redemption felt more believable, as well. 

Song I associate with them: “Let Me Make You Proud”, by Jeremy Jordan. 

Favorite picture of them:

--

Thank you so much for asking! 

[barleylightfoot]

MY THOUGHTS DURING THE LAST RAPUNZEL’S TANGLED ADVENTURE EPISODE. SPOILER ALERT, DO NOT CLICK THE READ MORE IF YOU HAVEN’T SEEN PLUS EST EN VOUS.

The episode starts with an amazing voiceover by Eugene! What an ICONIC storyteller. I can't believe this is the last one we'll ever get. Welp, I'm already emotional.

A STORY OF TWO BEST FRIENDS. At least that's a glow-up considering they were called sisters throughout the past episodes. Best friends fits them better.

I love how Eugene has constant faith in Rapunzel, no matter how big and scary their enemies are.

Awww, I missed Arianna. Glad to see she's doing good, despite everything.

I was ready for an heroic song and then it was a super pretty instrumental of wind in my hair instead. What a throwback.

This freaking animation when Arianna and Rapunzel ride their horses back to Corona. They went all out.

The last time in the Snuggly Duckling 😥

Eugene saying “What would Rapunzel do?” is my favorite.

We can always count on King Edmund for comedic relief.

SONG TIME! With all the allies Rapunzel has met along the way, awwwwwwwwww.

HE CAN PLAY THE PIANO? Is there anything Varian cannot do?

I NEED A NICKNAME FOR EUGENE. N O W.

Back to Cass in the castle, destroying her old room... She’s really far gone, isn't she?

TEAM AWESOMEEEEEE. I love how close Varian and Eugene have gotten.

LANCE, YOU GENIUS. He solved that riddle in less than a second.

GE-BUG? EXCUSAME?

HEYHEYHEYHEY! I love when Eugene gets feisty 🔥

Varian saying don't press that button... I have an awful feeling about this, because Lance is known to go against Varian's advice. MULTIPLE TIMES.

NOT VARIAN TURNING INTO A MONKEY NOOOOO

Omg brotherhood!Pascal. I’m dying. He’s such a thespian.

New Dream talking about the engagement, and Eugene saying “Who's turn is it again?” AWW.

THE DREAM VOWS.  I'M EMOTIONAL.

LET ME MAKE YOU PROUD IN THE BACKGROUND. FUCK ME.

And of COURSE this is followed by Quirin turning bad. This was foreshadowed a lot rip. Varian is so smart for coming up with that helmet, though!!

I have a feeling Raps' true powers are unleashed now.

Omg stupid HAMUEL WHY WOULD YOU RUIN EVERYTHING.

Awwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwh. This is a Cassunzel song.

Yessssssss, Cass. CAGE ZHAN TIRI UP.

Omg this is like the quantum realm in Ant-Man!

The freaking hot pink sky above Corona. This is really the end of the world.

Lil Pascal with his fists, ready to fight. bless him.

Hahahaha is this the explanation of varian's hair everyone's looking for? The blue lock is secretly a snake?

WAIT. EDMUND JUST LEAD EUGENE TO THE TRAP? WHY DID I NOT SEE THAT COMING? THE SYMBOL WAS ON HIS COAT THAT WHOLE TIME?

YAS EUGENE! TELL THEM WHO'S THE BOSS!

GO SAVE YOUR BUDDY MAX!!!!!!! (glad he wasn’t lost in the quantum realm lol)

Awww that scene between Eugene and Edmund was so sweet. I love the Fitzherbert fam.

OMFG THE HAIR CHANGES AFTER LOOSING THE DROP AND STONE???????? Why am I so shook lol that’s literally what gave Rapunzel her blonde hair and Cass her blue hair, and yet...

And omg Zhan Tiri in her true form is haunting.

Wait lol wasn't Varian riding on Catalina just now? (nope, it was monster!Ruddiger)

The coloring change when Zhan Tiri says the decay spell. Give these people A RAISE.

FRYING PANS, WHO KNEW!!!!!!

OMG RAPUNZEL’S HAIRCUT WAS THE LAST EPIC MOVE?????????

THE HUG OF THE TRIO. There’s nothing I couldn’t do, not with you by my sideeeeeeeee. I love how it was a parallel to Arianna pulling Eugene into the hug at the end of Tangled.

Eugene saying “Cass, you were worth fighting for.” LSJDSKJSKDSX

Now that I’m reading this back I know Cass died somewhere after or before this but I’m super confused as to how that happened so I really need to watch that again lol.

I'M HAPPILY EVER AFTER AFTER ALL!!!!!!!!!

LANCE ADOPTED ANGRY AND CATALINA KSDJDKSJSKJDSDKJ I KNEW IT I KNEW IT I KNEW IT. He was technically their babysitter throughout the whole third season.

They all have their happily ever afters in some way, awww.

Fade to black and then LUCKILY they come back. I KNEW THEY COULDN'T LEAVE WITHOUT THE ENGAGEMENT.

WHAT A PERFECT SETTING???? I would’ve loved to see a See The Light reprise, but gosh, that was the most perfect scene/ending ever. Eugene finally proposed.

It’s really freaking over. I cannot believe it. I’m SO EMOTIONAL AND I HAVE SO MANY THOUGHTS. 

[idkwhoiamanymorebutwtf]

TANGED HUNGER GAMES ROUND#5 (We WILL keep going until both Cass and Varian have won at least one. Cass because she’s my fave and Varian cause someone requested I keep going till he get’s one.)

Immediately we got two death’s, and honestly, I won’t miss either of em’. Hector and Crowley are always ruthless, both in this game and in the actual show, so having them out gives the people who haven’t made it very far in the past a chance.

Goddamn, I wonder how Stan set Quirin off, lol? He doesn’t seem like the type to randomly kill royal guards.

Also aww, Eugene hanging out with his dad and his niece. I just wish Angry was with them. And Lance. Of course Raps and Cass would be nice too but i’m not picky, i’d have just taken Angry.

W H O THE F U C K THOUGHT GIVING ZHAN TIRI ANYTHING WAS A GOOD IDEA?!?

When Eugene, Edmund, and Catalina were hanging out I wanted Angry to run into them..but not like this...

You see, random sponsor that gave Zhan Tiri food for some ungodly reason, THIS is why we don’t giver her any advantages. She will go on to kill literal children like three seconds later.

Not only are Raps and Eugene together, which....awww, babies. <3 but Varian is with his daddy and that’s adorable because there’s no way Quirin isn’t going to protect the hell out of him. Ahh. My heart. <3

Also, Anthony killing Ari is literally not shocking at all. I think he’s done it before in one of my Hunger Games posts, actually..

It makes me so happy that Zhan Tiri just never gets to win these things <3

Oof, bye Eugene, by Stalyan. Don’t know why you two were even fighting together tbh, but i’m even more confused on how you let Calliope and Demanitus of all people beat you?

King Edmund better die soon. He’s won most of my hunger games and I really don’t want him to win this one. At least Lance- the only other victor I've ever had- just got taken down a peg, though hoping he dies soon too.

Goodbye to Frederic and to Quirin. Poor Varian lost his dad....again.

Oh thank heavens. Now I just have to hope Lance doesn’t win, I want some new victors. Preferably Cass. Though Varian works too.

Bye bud

Brock is turning out especially deadly this game. Huh. Good on him. Second time that explosive trick’s worked.

Aww, Varian baby nooo. This is why I don’t like Adira, ya’ll.

Well first off, what on earth did Pete do to piss off such a large group of people? Goddamn, bro.

Also Brock’s such a loser. Hah. Dork.

Come onnnn. I had faith in Cass this time. Insult to injury that I like literally none of the other three.

It’s between Lance, Adira, Calliope, Demanitus, and Rapunzel now. Please not Lance. Not again.

I may not like Adira, but she’s really out here doing god’s work tbh.

A RAPUNZEL WIN!! THAT’S RARE!! I’M GLAD ABOUT IT THO, AHH.

[vigor-the-visionary]

once a handmaiden thoughts

THIS EPISODE STIRRED A LOT OF FEELINGS IN ME SO I JUST HAFTA... LET IT OUT,,, sorry for rambling,,, it just really,, made me,,, feel,,, so MANY things  ; ; ;; ;;

under read more!! because this is LONG YEEHAW

First of all. team awesome??? making weapons ??? that little fist and butt bump they did???? blessed.

Eugene’s face when he was asking permission for project obsidian,, and zach’s voice acting... made me ‘aww :’)’ and ‘awww ;-;’

OK cass finding the missing glass shard felt kinda... ‘eh’ for me ?? would ramble a WHOLE lot more on this case but i wanna focus on the positive things in this episode so lets leave that for another time, (or another person)

REALLY loved the bit where cass saw flashes of zhan tiri when she touched her,, quality animation 11/10 

THANK YOU TANGLED CREW FOR THE GOOD OWL AND CASSANDRA INTERACTIONS THAT WAS DELICIOUS. (it was one of my fav wishes to see them interact so this was genuinely one of the BEST things in the episode for me)

is the real faith okay ??? where is she, i wanna hug her

(ngl the entire episode billie eilish’s im the bad guy kept threatening to break through my brain until it was the only thing i could comprehend the whole episode)

FUCK GOTH GREMLIN LADY. fuck u, i hate u. bitch.

im happy cry over the fact that cass still wants to be friends, but is still clearly struggling to process Feelings (tm)

the MAIN TRIO HANGING OUT JUST LIKE SEASON 1 DAYS MADE ME UGLY SOB YOU REALLY DONT KNOW WHAT WE’VE LOST UNTIL THE SHOW JUST DANGLED IT IN FRONT OF MY FACE. PLEASE JUST MAKE UP ALREADY HOLY FUCK

frederick in a handmaiden dress..... effervescent. (CASS’S FACE WHEN SHE TURNED INTO EUGENE HAD ME WHEEZING)

the comedy when cass was having trouble w the cloak is ten times more hilarious when u actually try to pay attention to what eugene and raps was talking abt in that scene. believe me, listen to it....

god..... the cass and eugene banter,,, it was barely existing but it was there,, and i want to cry....

the new gopher was TOO MF CUTE and IM DISTRAUGHT OVER THE FACT THAT THEY DIDNT EVEN USE HER KJDFHLKDF

‘RAPS’ MADE ME DIE INSIDE.... it really was always cass’ nickname for her.... never really suited anyone else calling her that (not even eugene)

the play was an absolute disaster and I LOVED IT let me slurp more of that angst juice lads (i was dying at catalina and angry costumed as black rocks,, u go rock em girls)

OK O K OKOK OKOK OKO KO THAT FIGHT SCENE. THAT ANIMATION. THE VOICE ACTING. THE EMOTIONS ON EVERYONES FACES. THE MOMENT ZHAN FUCK TIRI REMOVED CASS’ CLOAK YOU COULD CLEARLY SEE THE GENUINE FEAR IN RAPS’ FACE AND IM CRYING

(small tidbit i 'AWWWED’ when the camera panned to eugene and varian and the latter was riding fidella, tf, too cute)

seriously. fuck zhan tiri.

the biggest thing i was disappointed about in this episode,, is cass saying gothel’s line, ‘you want me to be the bad guy? etc etc’,  exact word for word. do i need explaining for this, i dont really thinks so. :(

EUGENE GUSHING TIME. 

the way our lad was handling everything,,, made me feel so proud,, and so sad,, at the same time.... here you have his first real job as captain of the guard, tainted by the strained relationships with cass and the sort. he’s struggling to put his feelings into light too, you know he was more keen on giving up on cass, but..

when his voice slightly broke when he was speaking to her ‘you were like a sister-’ i dont know man.. i think he’s just sad and tired of losing people he cares about,,, :’(( 

though i dont have much hope for it, id really love a eugene and cass scene where these idiot siblings just talk heart-to-heart out w each other,, that will be,, the biggest wish i have for the finale, tbh

lance: appears, me: oh right u exist

ZHDFKHDKFH FOR REAL I WAS REALLY SURPRISED WHEN HE JUST SHOWED UP

THEN SUDDENLY ADIRA AND HECTOR WERE THERE TOO TF ???

but quirin??? missing??? WHERE

AND THEN EDMUND APPEARED AND MY THEORY JUST WENT OUT THE FUCKING WINDOW LMFAO

idk if im missing anything,,, but ok.. time to cool down a bit. 

eugene’s voice,, calling out rapunzel’s name.. just made me ;__;

the DRAMA of the camera pans when rapunzel was running to look at what happened to corona,, thank u sm that hurt

new dream hand holding!!! yeehaw. 

raps’ face. no talk, she angy

OK. next episode?? i have high hopes! (i think its 2 hours ??? i am crying for this finale lads) until next time, tangled,, u have crushed my heart countless times but hopefully we’ll have a happy end yet :’))

[bstormhands]

Cassandra's Revenge

It looks like they restored the bridge they broke in “Rapunzel’s Enemy”, though it still looks broken down on the one side. 

The palace sure is decked out.

Nice song, but you don’t have everything yet Rapunzel.  Ha, nice callback to the movie painting over the screen. But I notice Cass is missing from the mural, but she’s left some room for hope.

Cassandra walking through the forest is ominous. 

He’s going to try proposing again.

Old lady Crowely singing!

Poor Eugene, he’s so nervous he asked Old Lady Crowley if it was a good time to propose, yeah, not your type. 

The throne room being decked out is pretty awesome. Keira and Catalina having fun and laughing warms my heart.

Surprise!

All the royals are there, nice.

Oh Edmund, never change. Hamuel, you need some work.

Aww, she’s going to try proposing too. Squee! Its the ring!

Nice reprise and she drew herself with a ring!

Lance, you’re great. 

Surprise! I think she shorted-out his brain with him seeing her like that. 

Aww, he’s so excited.

Shorty, how did you survive in the cake like that?

Poor Eugene. He’s 26.

I love how Hamuel comments just as Eugene says crow’s feet. Vain as ever.

Here it comes. 

Ugh, and here comes Cassandra. Right on cue. How did she know?

Ooo, Cass takes the part of the cake representing Rapunzel’s room. She wants what Rapunzel has.

I can’t believe how extra the animation is. Thank you Mercury.

Why is she discussing this with Eugene, Lance, Keira and Catalina?

Deathmatch: Steel v Iron. Varian needs to use the sleep.

Um, maybe someone needs to update Varian about the situation. 

Excellent timing.

Oh hey, he’s in the Demanitus Chamber, why are some of rocks yellow? Maybe the amber potion did something to the red rocks.

Eugene, never touch things in Varian’s lab. 

Four incantations: Healing Incantation, Hurt Incantation, Black Rock incantation and another. 

And Cassandra is here again, how does she do that?

Varian, please stop saying things like that out loud.

Eugene, you need to pay more attention, you saw the armor form around her, what did you think would happen. 

BooBerry’s been lying to Cass, Rapunzel did not push Gothel out the window. No one did. She tripped over the dead hair with a little help from Pascal.

Wow, Rudiger to the rescue!

Let go of the anger Cassandra, please.

And there’s BooBerry.

Whoa, the frills on the armor are giving away her emotional state.

Rapunzel can’t hear BooBerry!

Holy Crap, how strong is Rapunzel!?

Varian, I know you’re trying to help but really?

And there goes the Demanitus Device.

Aw, sad horse is sad. 

I really want to smack the grin off BooBerry’s face with a nuke. And she continues to goad Cassandra. 

A strong hold, at the site of the tower, of course. 

And the truth serum is back.

Black Rock Incantation

Crescent high above

Evolving as you go

Raise what lies beneath

Let the darkness grow

Bend it to my will

Consume the sunlight’s glow

Rise into the sky

And let the darkness grow

Let darkness grow

Impressive tower stronghold

Raps, girl, you have more important things to worry about now then Eugene’s birthday or the proposal. Like the end of the world!

Cass, can we talk about accessibility?

Ooo, she does have impressive control over the rocks. And those hips! Elsa you have some competition.

“Nothing Left to Lose” Song time! He’s one who can say those things. He really does know.

Cass why are you sharpening the Shadowblade? All you’re doing is grinding down the rock.

Dude! Grab the sword!

She kept Rapunzel’s floating lights portrait. 

Did she just grow a blade from her hand? Fullmetal Alchemist! Varian, you’re a good guy, you’re amazing.

The hands holding Varian down do recall the time Varian almost crushed her in his mecha hands.

Dang she did it, but she doesn’t look happy. Nothing left to lose.

In any case, that is a really extra throne. Eat it Iron Throne.

Blue fire too. Extra, extra.

Climbing the tower, homage to “Emperor’s New Groove”, nice comedy, we needed that. 

What is with you, BooBerry?

Celebreture, I wonder how that’s spelled? NO, No, no, never, ever split up. 

That’s the Zhan Tiri tree from Janus Point! BooBerry must be Zhan Tiri!

Don’t Trust Her! Varian. What the heck? How are you trying to get Varian’s attention be splitting in half and turn your flipping head around like that. 

Use the sun to see the sun?

Yeah, yeah, we get, you’re playing both sides. You’re trying for MAD.

Pascal does make a great scout. Lance not so much.

So, Cassandra invented the elevator.

Oh, ah, hey, we’re doing that now!

Cassandra with the dramatic entrance again.

Um, you do remember shield mode, right? Guess not. That gets more impressive.

Do they have to destroy everything Demanitus every made?

Homage to Frozen.

Sundrop incantation (Avatar Mode)

Power of the sun

Gift me with your light

Shine into the dark

Restore our fading sight

Rise into the dawn

Blazing star so bright

Burn away the strife

Let my hope ignite

Let hope ignite

BooBerry is Zhan Tiri: Confirmed!

Are we creating a fricking black hole! Oh no, BooBerry is getting away.

She broke it!? How do you break something like that!?

Oh no.

Wait, what, how are we back in the palace?

Yeah, getting old with your true love is not so bad at all.

They just left Cass out there? 

Oh BooBerry has a body now. Well, that’s useful 

Ooo, dramatic end credit music.

[orbmanson7]

So I just jotted down some notes since I'm at work and watched it on my phone, but here's what things I said while watching:

(spoilers ahoy, obviously)

-so Varian can play piano?? Since when?

-oh so we're finally getting to that plot point about Quirin being in the brotherhood too

-very National Treasure all of a sudden...

-ohh making jokes about their proposal again, these two 😍

-hmmmmm Quirin? Buddy?

-ah, so they decided to fuck up ruddiger again, make him a big ol bandersnatch because he can fight better that way

-well that or he can be ridden better that way... Hm

-oohhhhh MY ECLIPSE THEORY! Hell yES

-oh shit, oh shit

-oh dip, good on Cass, thank God she's done with Zhan Tiri's lying ass

-Ah, good call on the Zhan tiri & Demanitus flashbacks, better mark my bingo card

-oh dang the whole brotherhood, I don't know why there weren't more people hopping on how obviously Edmund would be just as likely a sleeper agent....hmmm

-omg Cass please. This girl NEVER knew what she wanted, raps

Wonderful crossover edit! If you think about it, Varian and Carla have more in common than one might think. They were both raised by single fathers, and both of them love their fathers so much would move mountains for them-and their fathers would do the same for them❤️ And of course, Varian and Carla both lost their fathers in horrible ways. Varian & Quirin and Victor & Carla are my favorite father-child relationships. Change my mind.

Aww heh thank you! It means a lot 💖

I agree with you on this, Now that I think more about it they do have similar stories. They are also different in some way as well. ( yes I am about to rant because this is a good point I canon thisXD)

As we can see here our adorable bean here is terrified as he sees his father encased. Now to prove your point yes he was raised by Quirin since he was a baby, we know he had a mother but no one knows what happened to her. (Thanks Disney😒) Quirin did raise Varian by himself most of his life, and Varian did love his dad because as we know all he wanted was to prove himself to his dad and make him proud of him. We know Varian never wanted to become evil of bad but unfortunate events happened and caused this poor boi to turn to evil and do anything to free his dad from his mistake.

Now for Carla and Victor, Carla had a mother of her own just like Varian did. Both mothers disappeared for years who knows why leaving their husbands to take care of their children. As we can see Carla and Victor in the beginning wanted to be evil Malvagos, it was their dream to be the best Malvagos and the most wanted in Avalor. Varian on the other hand didn’t want to become evil but was pushed more so to it.

Now as we can see here Varian got his father back after a whole year of trying to free him, thanks to raps for learning the decay incantation. Varian in the end as we know redeemed himself and proved himself by helping defeat the Siphorians and admitted that he wanted to be on the right side of the law, and only did what he did to try and free his father. Varian is pardoned and lives somewhat happy now that his father was back but has to be reminded and live with his mistakes.

Now with Carla and Victor, Carla had a change of heart because she finally saw the truth of what her mother was. I mean Turing her father the one who raised her and was there for her into a statue was the last straw for her. We know she felt terrible for what happened, and was willing to help if it meant for her to have her Father back. After they freed Victor that’s when she started having a change of heart and they both realized that family was more important than anything else. That’s when they wanted to make amends and make up for what they did to Elena and Avalor. So in conclusion I canon with your idea of Varian and Victor and Carla have very similar stores and both their redemption arcs in my opinion were done well.

Sorry I did or was not planning on doing an analysis but your idea made my brain begin to think and had to share what I thought of it😏. This was my first time doing something like this so I’m sorry if it’s not very understandable, i just really love these two show heh💖

Corona’s Easter Extravaganza!

It was a beautiful, sunny Sunday morning in Corona. Pastel streamers and banners were hung up everywhere, and everyone was bustling about making preparations and packing eggs for Princess Rapunzel’s Easter Celebration!

Rapunzel was walking around town, admiring the decorations that she and the kingdom had made the day before and saying hello to all of her subjects.

“Isn’t this great Pascal?” Rapunzel said excitedly to the chameleon on her shoulder. “We’ve never celebrated Easter this big before, and I’m so excited! I have to say, painting some of those eggs and banners was hard work, but I’m so glad we could get everyone together to do something fun!”

Eugene walked beside her and gave her a kiss on the cheek. “You did great, Sunshine. The place looks amazing!”

“Aww. Thanks Eugene,” Rapunzel said, smiling. “That reminds me, I have a surprise for you!”

“Great! I love surprises! Is it another portrait of me? That last one you did really brought out my eyes.”

“Yeah, they looked even more horrifying than they normally do,” Cassandra said coming up behind Eugene and making him jump.

“Agh! Great. The witch has returned! Blondie, no offense, but that’s the worst surprise ever,” He said glaring at Cassandra.

Rapunzel laughed.

“Come on, Eugene. You haven’t seen each other in months! Can’t my two favorite people at least pretend to like each other? Just for today?”

“Raps, I just traveled for 3 days to be here in time for your celebration and now you’re telling me that I can’t do the one thing that brings me joy?” Cassandra said punching Eugene on the arm.

“Ow!”

Rapunzel looked at both of them and sighed. “Fine. I’ll give you an hour. Hash it out all you want, but then you need to be nice to each other. Please? For me?” Rapunzel said smiling sweetly.

“Anything for you, Sunshine,” Eugene said. “But just to be clear, we have an hour? Because I have been dying to use some of these insults.”

Rapunzel nodded and laughed.

Eugene pumped his fist in victory and ran over to Cassandra.

“I know that Eugene doesn’t like to admit it, Pascal, but deep down I know he misses Cass,”

Rapunzel was cut off by yelling behind her.

“No wonder crime is running rampant in Corona! They chose an idiot to be captain of the guard!” Cassandra laughed.

“Oh you want to play it that way, huh? As I recall, you were half of the problem!” Eugene fired back.

“Ooo touché.”

“Ah. There’s the arguments I’ve always missed,” Rapunzel sighed.

The princess continued walking around until she was nearly knocked over by her Royal Engineer.

“Rapunzel!”

Varian skidded to a stop, dropping half of his compounds and solutions in the process.

Rapunzel laughed and knelt down to help him pick them up.

“Varian! What’s the rush?”

“Oh n-nothing. I’m so glad I found you! I was just wondering if I could borrow Pascal for a thing...” Varian said, putting his hand behind his neck.

“A thing? Varian you’re going to have to be more specific.”

“Haha...uh...well you see Ruddiger was-was lonely! So I was hoping I could borrow Pascal to keep him some company?” Varian laughed awkwardly and looked up at Rapunzel.

“Well..okay,” Rapunzel said slowly.

“Thanks Princess!” Varian said taking Pascal and starting to run off.

“Well that was weird,” Rapunzel said to herself.

———————————————————————

Varian ran back to his lab in the palace as fast as he could, Pascal hanging on to the stripe in his hair so that he didn’t fall.

“Okay,” Varian gasped, “Let’s get to work.”

He tried to find Pascal, looking on his shoulders and on the ground to see if he dropped him while he was running. After a few minutes Varian noticed the little chameleon clinging on to his hair and gasping for breath.

“Woah! Sorry Pascal, I probably shouldn’t have run so fast, heh. I just had to get this done before the competition starts.” Varian said, setting Pascal down on his desk that was cluttered open science books and a basket full of blue, handpainted eggs made by Rapunzel.

Pascal eyed Varian suspiciously. “Okay, so technically I didn’t need you for Ruddiger, but he’s over there if you guys want to catch up?”

Pascal looked at Ruddiger who was chewing an apple and then looked back at Varian.

“Fine. Yes, I lied to the princess, but it’s for the sake of science! I’ve been studying chameleons and how your species is able to blend into your surroundings, and I believe I can develop a serum that can make anything, for my sake, eggs, blend in to their surroundings! I’m almost finished, but I just need to examine how you’re able to do it so I can find a compound that might react the same way.”

Pascal still looked unconvinced.

“Okay, so you know the princess is having an egg hiding competition? The prize is being able to design the lanterns for Rapunzel’s next birthday! I’ve been working on some lantern designs using Flynnolium and other chemicals, but I won’t be permitted to use them unless I win. With this formula, no one will be able to find my eggs! It’s genius! And...I had to lie to her because it doesn’t exactly say in the rules that there isn’t any science or alchemy allowed, but she might think it’s cheating...” Varian trailed off.

“But just for the record, I don’t think it is.” He said quickly crossing his arms.

“Come on, Pascal. We’re buddies right? Can you please do this for me?”

Pascal thought about it, and then chirped reluctantly in agreement.

“Thanks Pascal! I owe you one. Now don’t worry, all I need you to do is that thing where you blend in to your surroundings,” Varian said taking out a magnifying glass.

Pascal chirped and then faded into the background.

“Fascinating,” Varian said examining the reptile.

He rifled through his bag and took out a vial of green-ish solution.

“I believe this should do the trick!”

He poured it in to the existing the solution on his desk and Ruddiger and Pascal backed up and covered their ears, waiting for an explosion. The solution bubbled for a minute, and then settled down and almost seemed to turn invisible.

“Yes! It worked!”

A bell chimed in the distance meaning that the competition was about to start.

“And just in time too. Come on Pascal! Let’s go hide some eggs.”

Varian poured the solution on top of the eggs giving the illusion that the basket was empty, and ran outside, Pascal in tow, dropping invisible eggs along the way.

He met up with the rest of the crowd surrounding Rapunzel just as the bell stopped ringing.

He ran up to Rapunzel and gave her back Pascal, who chirped, happy to be back with his owner.

“Thanks, Varian! I hope Ruddiger had fun!”

“Oh..y-yeah. Definitely!” Varian said smiling awkwardly and running to join the rest of the crowd.

“Welcome everyone to Corona’s first Easter Extravaganza!!”

The crowd applauded as Rapunzel went on.

“This year we decided it would be fun to have a kingdom-wide Easter egg hunt! To add on to the fun, we’re making it a competition! Kids 12 and under will compete in trying to find eggs hidden by our adults! Whoever gets the most eggs will win a huge candy bar provided by Monty’s Sweet Shoppe!”

There was a resounding applause as Rapunzel unveiled the candy bar.

“But the fun isn’t over! Our egg-hiders will also compete on who can hide their eggs the best! The eggs will be color coded, and whoever has the least amount of their color eggs found at the end wins an opportunity to design the next floating lanterns!”

There was another set of applause and murmuring in the crowd.

“If you signed up to hide the eggs, you already have your eggs and your color, and you can start hiding them! You have 1 hour to pick some hard to find spots! All the other kids participating in egg-finding, meet me in the palace for some more Easter-y fun! Good luck everyone! Ready, Set, Go!”

———————————————————————

Eugene grabbed his egg basket filled with green painted eggs and ran to the outskirts of the castle. He went around the back and climbed up the castle wall, being careful to not spill any of his eggs.

“Didn’t think I’d be doing this again. Haha man, the nostalgia!”

When he was on the palace roof, he walked around placing 2 to 3 eggs on the tops of the towers and putting the rest of them on different places of the roof.

“There’s no way that anyone’s gonna find these. Lanterns with me and Blondie’s face on them? Check!”

———————————————————————

Once Rapunzel finished her speech, she went into the palace to make sure the kids were occupied, then grabbed her baskets of lavender and pink eggs and headed outside.

“Knowing our friends Pascal, they’ll definitely be hiding their eggs so that no one can find them, and since I can’t win the prize, I figured I should put some eggs in easy places so that the kids can actually win,” Rapunzel said placing a pink egg in the plain sight by a bush.

Rapunzel laughed, “I just hope Eugene doesn’t go as far as putting them on a roof or something.”

Rapunzel put one of the baskets of eggs on the ground so that Pascal could help her, and 30 minutes later the streets were littered with beautiful lavender and pink eggs.

Cassandra walked up and examined Rapunzel’s handiwork.

“Raps, I’m not sure if you understand the whole hiding concept of hiding eggs.”

“Hey Cass! Did you and Eugene have a good time fighting?”

Cassandra laughed, “As much as I hate to admit it, I missed making fun of that over-confident, egocentric husband of yours.”

“Aww I’m glad you guys had fun! Oh I almost forgot,” Rapunzel reached into her purse and pulled out 5 sets of pastel bunny ears. She handed 2 to Cassandra.

“Can you give these to Eugene and Varian if you see them? I just think they’re so cute and festive and they’d look so adorable in them.” Rapunzel said excitedly.

“Oh I can definitely do that,” Cassandra said with a laugh.

———————————————————————

Eugene climbed down the roof and came face to face with Cassandra holding 2 pairs of bunny ears.

“Oh no. Don’t tell me Blondie wants me to wear these?”

“Oh yeah. It wasn’t even my idea! This day just keeps getting better.” Cassandra said holding out some blue fluffy ears to Eugene.

Eugene put them on, grumbling something under his breath.

Cassandra bursted out laughing, “Now your ears are even bigger than before, Fitzherbert!”

“Oh yeah, laugh it up. You’re probably next.” Eugene grumbled.

Just then, Rapunzel ran by wearing a pair of lavender bunny ears, with Pascal wearing tiny white ones, and handed an extra pair to Cassandra.

“I forgot to give you yours Cass!” Rapunzel said. “And awww look at my little Eubunny! Eu...rabbit? Eu...”

Eugene cut her off .

“No, we are not making that a thing.”

“Awe, Okay,” Rapunzel said giving him a kiss on the cheek.

“Bye guys!”

Cassandra put on the ears, frowning, then looked at Eugene.

“Eubunny,” she said under her breath.

“Cassandrabbit.” Eugene said back.

———————————————————————

Varian was busy hiding his invisible eggs when he saw Cassandra standing in front of him wearing purple bunny ears.

Varian started laughing until she held out a light teal pair to him.

“Join the squad, kid.”

Varian took the ears and then looked at Cassandra.

“Did Rapunzel-”

“Yep.”

“Do I have to?”

“Yep.”

He put the ears on and try to ignore all of the laughter coming his way, eventually giving in and laughing with Cassandra.

“So Varian, how have you been? It’s been a while.”

“It has,” he laughed nervously. “I’ve been good, how about you?”

“Same here. It’s been different, not having all of my friends around and not hearing explosions every two seconds.”

They both laughed.

“I’ve missed you, kid.”

“I’ve missed you too, Cassie. Varian said smiling. “I’m glad we’re still friends after...everything, heh.”

“Me too, Varian. So tell me, why does it look like you’re hiding a basket full of nothing?”

“Haha, um well... I guess I can tell you. But you have to promise to not tell anyone else.”

“You got it,” Cassandra told him.

Varian looked around frantically, making sure no one was listening and then told Cassandra his whole plan.

“Wow, Varian. That’s pretty intense for just an egg hunt,” She laughed. “Don’t worry though. You’re not the only one doing shady things to win. I just saw Eugene on the palace roof earlier.”

“Heh. Well I admire his creativity but it is no match for the power of science!”

Varian pumped his fist in the air, breaking open 3 eggs he forgot he was holding which splattered all over him.

Cassandra laughed, “Well hopefully the ‘power of science’ will help you clean up this mess. See ya later kid!”

“Ew. Why did she have to paint them raw?” Varian said to himself. “It’s okay I can just use this cleaning formula I made and...”

Varian poured the formula on himself which cleaned up the eggs, but also burnt holes through his shirt.

“Great,” he said sarcastically.

The bell sounded in the distance that it was time to stop hiding the eggs, and Varian quickly placed his remaining 5 eggs by a bush and ran back to join the crowd of people starting to gather.

———————————————————————-

Eugene saw Varian in the crowd and walked up to him.

“Hey Var- woah! What happened to you?”

“Oh you know,” Varian laughed nervously, “eggs.”

“You hid eggs too? Well sorry kid but you’re looking at the winner right here.” Eugene said, cockily, pointing to himself.

“Haha, I don’t think so. There’s no way you can outwit my alchemical methods,” Varian said.

“Well make sure to be using your ‘alchemical methods’ when you see lanterns with my finely crafted face in the sky.” Eugene taunted.

“And make sure to be using that ‘finely crafted face’ to look up and see my alchemy lanterns when I win the competition.” Varian smirked.

“Well we’ll find out won’t we?” Eugene said staring down Varian.

“Yes. We. Will.” Varian said with a glare in his eye.

———————————————————————

After the bell stopped ringing, kids started running out of the castle, and scrambling to find eggs. All of Rapunzel’s purple and pink ones were in plain sight, but Angry wanted more of a challenge. She ran around the back of the castle where she saw Eugene climbing when he was hiding eggs, and started climbing up the roof herself.

Catalina decided she wanted more of a challenge as well, but not as much as Angry. She looked up and found orange eggs in the trees, which she quickly grabbed.

———————————————————————

Eugene was walking around when he saw Lance placing one last egg in a tree.

“Lance! You’re hiding eggs too? Good spot, but unfortunately you’re not going to win.”

“Oh really Eugene? Nice ears by the way. Who’s going to think to look for an egg in a tree? It’s a hard to reach spot and what kid’s going to climb a tree anyways?” Lance looked down at Eugene with a triumphant look.

“Lance. You do realize you live in a tree house with two little girls who adore climbing things, right?” Eugene said with a smirk.

“Thank you!” Catalina said grabbing the egg next to Lance and jumping to the next tree.

“Fair point. Well where did you hide yours Eugene?”

“Only the most hard to reach place in all of Corona!” Eugene said, gesturing to the castle roof which now contained a 12 year old girl holding up a green egg.

“Found it!” Angry shouted down.

“Oh come on!” Eugene shouted.

“Kiera!! You get down from there!” Lance scolded her.

“Come up and get me, why don’t ya?” Angry taunted, laughing.

“Ughhh! What is the matter with you Eugene!” Lance yelled running after Angry.

“Don’t worry buddy, it’s good exercise!” Eugene shouted back, laughing.

He started walking back until he realized he was going to lose and started running after Lance.

“Wait! Don’t take all my eggs!”

————————————————————————

The bell rang again symbolizing the end of the hunt, and the kids flocked to the throne room to turn in their baskets full of eggs to be counted.

When the counting was over, Rapunzel called everyone out to the courtyard to announce the winners.

“Hi everyone! Great job to all of our egg hunters and egg hiders! The results were very close but I have our winners right here!”

Rapunzel pulled out a paper and the crowd went silent as she read it.

“Our winner for most eggs is...Catalina Schitz! Come on up and get your prize!”

Catalina and Angry both went up to pick up the chocolate bar because it was bigger than both of them. The audience cheered but Lance yelled the loudest making the girls blush.

“Everyone else did a great job as well! There’s candy for all of you in the throne room!” Rapunzel said.

“And now for the winner of the best egg hiders, give it up for Varian with 0 eggs found!”

“What?!” Eugene yelled.

“Yes!” Varian shouted.

“None found? How does that even happen?”

Varian leaned over to Eugene and whispered “alchemy.”

“But we’re not done yet!” Rapunzel went on. “We have a runner up for this competition! Give it up for Eugene Fitzherbert with 2 eggs found!”

“Only because they caught me before I grabbed the rest.” Angry said.

“And their prize is they will be working together to design the next lanterns!”

“What?!” Eugene and Varian shouted in unison.

“Great job boys!” Rapunzel said, “and Happy Easter to everyone!”

Rapunzel went up to Varian and Eugene to congratulate them on winning.

“I can’t wait to see what you two come up with together!” Rapunzel said.

“Yay...” Varian trailed off, pretending to be excited.

“I mean you two are so creative!” Rapunzel went on. “Sneaking off and lying to me so you could hide the eggs in impossible places and even disguising them using Pascal’s abilities! I have to say I’m impressed.”

“But how did you-” Eugene started.

“Eugene, I saw you on the roof from miles away and I stepped on at least 5 of Varian’s eggs.”

Eugene and Varian looked down and mumbled “sorry.”

“I forgive you. And this should be punishment enough for you. Plus the rabbit ears,” Rapunzel laughed.

Eugene and Varian looked at each other and eventually started laughing.

“Team Awesome?” Eugene asked, holding out his fist.

“Team Awesome.” Varian replied bumping Eugene’s fist.

“Oh and Varian, good luck finding all of your other eggs!” Rapunzel said handing him a basket.

“Yeah, I guess I deserved that,” Varian said laughing nervously.

“With my help, of course,” She said smiling at him.

“Don’t worry, kid. I’ll help you too,” Cassandra said coming up next to him.

“I’ll help you too, Goggles. We both cheated after all.” Eugene said.

“Thanks guys. I promise, Rapunze,l to make it up to you Eugene and I will make the best lanterns ever.” Varian told her.

“Awe. I bet they’ll be great, Varian!” Rapunzel said, hugging him.

The princess looked at the kingdom splattered with eggs.

“Wow what a mess. But it was a great Easter with all you guys! I believe our first Corona Easter Extravaganza was a success!”

———————————————————————

The group spent the rest of the day cleaning up eggs until the courtyard was clean again, and then raided the throne room for the rest of the candy. Varian had a massive sugar crash and passed out on the ground and Cassandra woke him up and put him to bed. Eugene and Rapunzel had a boat date where Eugene got rid of the bunny ears once and for all by throwing them in the water. Lance, Angry and Catalina spent the rest of the day eating their giant chocolate bar at their treehouse.

It was a great Easter for everyone.

Hi guys!!! Thank you so much for reading! This was originally supposed to be a short oneshot but I think I accidentally wrote an entire episode 😅😅😅

A special thanks to everyone in the Just Varian Things chat for giving me ideas! Especially @tangled-lover-165, @princess-pathetic-112898 , @letthemsayfuck, and @panpervinca!!!

Happy Easter Everyone!

One more thing before I go, as much as we all love the eggs and the bunnies and the pastel colors, behind all that is a Savior that really died a brutal death for our sins and rose again on Easter morning so that we can live in paradise with Him.

{Turns head thinking}

{Takes a deep breath}

Eugene,

{turns your head to see your face}

What you did in the past does not define who you are or what kind of person you are now, your sweet, kind,loyal, brave,supportive, and your always been there for me.

{smiles}

I understand what you did in the past and why you did it, we all have a pasts and things we’ve done that we’re not proud of, I know I currently do. but Eugene what matters is the kind of man you are now, not who you were in the past.

{Grabs your hand}

You are a amazing, wonderful, patient, kind, loyal, brave man Eugene. You saved me from Gothel and you sacrificed yourself so I could be free that’s what matters..not the man you were in the past.

{Smiles}

Nothing can take away the love I have for you, Gothel couldn’t, Zhan Tiri couldn’t, my Father couldn’t. Nothing you do or say will ever make me love you less.

I love you with all my heart Eugene, don’t ever forget that.

{smiles}

{Rapunzel Update}

{Rapunzel searches everywhere for Eugene, she goes downstairs to Eugene room}

Hello? Eugene are you here?
