#seven seas of rhye au

[canyonkingdom]

the seven seas of rhye

Fear me you loathsome, lazy creatures

Broomskingdom is located in between two rich mountains, surrounded by rich land perfect for agriculture. Away from the mountains were seven seas, only seen by the view of the queen's castle. The peasants racked their backs in the fields, their arms sore for picking the wheat.

"I hate this job." one grumpy peasant grumbled.

"It's not like you have a choice, Cap." another one lectured.

I descend upon your earth from the skies

While the poor straddled the economy of the kingdom, the rich stood up high.

Queen Jin lived in a larges castle that ascended high than a man on his second trip. Gold accents tattered the beige walls elegantly. Her smile could make millions fawn.

Her orange gown flowed when she walked, blonde hair blowing through the air. Her beauty shined with a single touch of the corner of her lips. When she reveals herself to the kingdom, they all cheered. A peep of her voice can cause stampedes.

I command your very souls you unbelievers

"Helly," the queen called out to her most trusted adviser.

"Yes, your Majesty?" Helly hastily made his way to the room, where his eyes were planted on the queen, sitting on her throne glittering in jewels.

"I want you to go on a journey."

Bring before me what is mine

She looked over the window. "There."

The seven seas of Rhye

-//-

Helly missed the old town in the kingdom. Where he grew up, where he learned, where he stayed. If he hadn't been appointed personally to the queen, he would be in the fields.

And he missed his old friend.

"Rhye? She must be out of the gutter!" Bruner slurred as he took another downing on his booze.

"I know, right? But I am the queen's advisor for a reason. She trusts me with everything." Helly said, sipping his cup of booze. "We do have a... shady history with Rhye."

"Like the seven seas thing?"

"Yeah." Helly answered.

"It was like a full blown war over some seas and we lost it, right?" Bruner asked, looking for clarification.

"Yeah... our queen's father fought that war and he was panned on so badly-"

"He jumped off the roof of the castle."

Helly paused. "Yeah."

Bruner grabbed the bottle and chugged more booze in his cup. "That's brutal, man. I can't imagine having to deal with my kingdom against me-"

"That's history, Bruner." Helly said.

"Well, you're still going on that journey, right?"

"...Yes. It's mandatory."

Bruner's eyes sunk.

"Safe journeys then."

He was on the brink of tears. Maybe he was just drunk or truly wallowing in sadness.

"I promise i'll be back alive."

-//-

"I want revenge, Helly."

The queen rasped, his hands wringing her staff tightly.

Helly's eyes watered to his cowardice. "That feud was years ago, your Majesty. It seems pointless to continue this-"

"I don't care." she replied coldly.

"... I can't do this alone."

The queen faced her advisor, looking at the ground as he stood parallel to her throne way above. Her eyes were soulless and devoid.

"Then have someone go with you."

Helly's eyes lit up. "Who?"

"I realized you are too scrawny to go in this conquest." the queen said. "So i'm tasking some people to protect you on the journey."

Helly smiled.

"Come back tomorrow morning and i'll show them to you."

-//-

Tomorrow morning came and Helly was presented with three individuals who were way taller and stronger than his small frame. He felt terrified by their presence.

"This is Poli." the queen pointed her hand to the person wearing a shiny tinted blue suit. Poli smiled at Helly, which seemed to terrify him more. "He's alert and strong. He can protect you in dangerous situations."

"O- okay..."

The queen walked up to another man in a red suit. He looked significantly more chiseled than Poli and he was towering over him. "This is Roy. He is the brawn. He will crush anything that physically halts your journey." He looked more soft and kind than Poli.

"And lastly, this is Amber." Helly was relieved that there was a girl, not only because they looked less terrifying, but the way she held a straw briefcase in her hand. "She's an amazing healer. She can heal all your wounds in a matter of minutes. Her briefcase contains all he medicine and chemicals she uses."

Helly wondered how the queen got them to be here, or where they came from in the first place, but he forgot about it when the queen stepped down and walked up to the door. She turned around and looked at them, smiling.

"One o'clock you should all be here."

She grabbed the door handle.

"And one more thing,"

Helly's ears perked up.

"Serve revenge."

Helly's small smile didn't waver. "Yes, your Majesty." the newfound team said in unison. In a few hours they would be gone.

i love making copious amounts of aus

[wordsinhaled]

so i was thinking more about the crowley/aziraphale pacific rim AU and i couldn't figure a way to stick them right in the middle of the action but i think that's okay because one of the best things about crowley and aziraphale is their "just some person"-ness anyway

i ended up with "if they just had a meetcute in the pacific rim universe what would that be like?" which. is not quite what i was imagining initially. but nevertheless? now this exists in my brain so y'all can be privy to this exceedingly handwavey scifi fluff

like, i don’t think aziraphale would ever step foot in a jaeger (can you imagine? i can't). but i think he could, in this AU, still own a bookshop, and have somewhat of a committed interest in cryptozoology. such that a.z. fell & co becomes sort of regionally renowned for its extensive cryptozoology section even before the kaiju wars. at first it's like a cult landmark but once the attacks begin it becomes something of a hotspot for information (much to aziraphale's dismay, because he still hates selling books)

crowley... i’m thinking. maybe he starts out in school studying astronomy. he's stoked about earthlike exoplanets. he gets to studying the conditions that permit life on earth, which leads him down the separate avenue of horticulture. he gets a rad little greenhouse going; propagating plants and all that.

(i don't know why plant nerd!crowley is just an natural arrow right to kaiju nerd!crowley to me but… something about it just makes sense in my brain. i mean, you know if humanity ever went off into space, crowley'd be the one responsible for preserving the seed library. but i digress.) the kaiju wars start, and crowley has a lightbulb moment, like, ohhh. they’re… fascinating? massive bloody efficient death machines, sure, but they’re cool, in the same way that carnivorous pitcher plants are cool. he's like, what questions can i ask about them??? answer: ask all the questions. and this leads him to aziraphale’s bookshop, of course

aziraphale’s got a sign up at this point, pointing out the cryptozoology section. he has a ton of people coming in asking about the topic, so he figured he’d make it easier for them to find, and subsequently be bothered less.

but no one else is as much of a regular. aziraphale learns, after the first few times he comes in, that his name is crowley—anthony crowley. it's because he asks if aziraphale can order increasingly specific books in, and he writes his name and phone number on a catalogue card so that he can call him when the books come in (...and if it's a ploy to give aziraphale his info… who's going to know?). aziraphale, for his part, wonders why crowley doesn't just use his university library, because anthony crowley is a graduate student. he's tall and rakish and bespectacled, with fiery hair and a serpent tattoo coiled around his wrist (aziraphale has no idea how far it goes after it disappears up his jacket sleeve, but the head of the serpent peeks out of his shirt collar sometimes, so aziraphale assumes it goes across his shoulder). he saunters about like he hasn't got a solid bone in his body. he has, apparently, a near-encyclopedic knowledge of the cosmos (which aziraphale is impressed by though he tries to be prim and reserved about it). occasionally, aziraphale hears crowley humming "flash" or "seven seas of rhye" from across the shop, and smiles to himself.

aziraphale doesn't know if crowley falls outside of his usual type, or if he's simply never come across anyone quite like him before, but he's finding himself becoming oddly attached. he tells his friend muriel about it over tea. "aziraphale," they tell him, "i think from what i've heard you're experiencing what they call a crush." (air quotes included.) "don't be ridiculous," aziraphale says. "i don't get crushes." (it's true, he's never had what one might traditionally call a crush. but so what? maybe he has one now)

crowley camps out in the stacks and writes notebooks full of spidery notes. once, he stays until past closing time, accidentally, and the next day he brings aziraphale a cup of english breakfast from the coffeeshop nearby, and a little pot of african violets as an apology. with a slightly sheepish grin, he says he grew the flowers himself. there's a little care card stuck into the soil, with more of his handwriting on it.

the violets bloom beautifully on the windowsill next to aziraphale's desk.

fast forward some indeterminate amount of time and now they actually spend time together.

maybe a kaiju came up the thames (i mean... listen. it could happen! if only just because it would be logistically fucking unhinged and the imagery of a kaiju rearing up out of the river while people are sitting on the london eye in the background is kind of great.) anyway, aziraphale had to impromptu barricade his bookshop and crowley was there too so they’re just. shut up in there with a handful of other customers until it’s safe to come out again. someone’s watching the live news coverage on their phone. crowley and aziraphale are sitting on the floor together between bookcases. a bit apart from everyone else, and passing crowley’s little flask of whisky back and forth. for fortitude, or whatever (fortitude against the kaiju threat, and not because they’re sitting next to someone they’re pining for, of course)

“y’ever thought about joining up?” crowley asks him eventually. aziraphale gives him a blank look. “you know.” there’s a metallic crash outside as if to prove crowley’s point. “the defense corps.”

“oh, heavens no. me, in a jaeger?”

“yeah—i suppose—nah, couldn’t see you doing it, now i think of it.”

“most certainly not.” the mouth of the flask is warm from crowley’s lips or maybe aziraphale’s imagining it. in any case he passes it back quickly. “you?”

“well… i’ve thought of it, sure. ‘course, it’d be k-science for me.”

“naturally.”

“oi! i could pilot a jaeger. if i wanted.” a pause. “what!”

“it’s only… well, it’d be a bit too slinky, wouldn’t it, with you piloting.”

“slinky!” mock indignation, giving way to curiosity, and circling back around to delight. “mister fell! have you been looking at my h—”

aziraphale steamrolls over the end of that sentence loudly. “it takes two, anyway, darling, as you well know. who would be your co-pilot?”

he resolutely doesn't contemplate crowley drifting with someone who isn't him. in this hypothetical scenario, which is never going to actually happen—

“you. obviously.”

(was it obvious?)

“but i would never—”

“yes, yeah, sure, mm-hmm. we’ve established that, aziraphale. i just figured we'd probably be... y'know. right?" they stare at each other for a moment before crowley barrels on. "anyway. just being silly, me. doesn't matter."

and why does crowley sound so tetchy and maudlin all of a sudden?

(narrator voice: crowley sounded tetchy because he had just been about to confess his feelings to aziraphale in the most roundabout way possible.)

anyway

maybe after this event crowley doesn't show his face in the bookshop again. aziraphale tries calling his number but his line's been disconnected. tries his level best not to pine for him and the next he hears of him is like, five years later when he's reading the newspaper one morning and sees an article on the oceanic monitoring operations going on in the pitcairn islands, and there's a photo of crowley grinning, dressed in a black turtleneck with the k-science logo on the chest, and he's quoted in the article, saying something about how he'd never have joined k-science if it hadn't been for a conversation he'd had with someone very important to him in a bookshop thousands of miles away what feels like a lifetime ago...

so aziraphale (madlad that he is, in any universe) is all, THIS. IS A SIGN and books himself a flight that very day

okay, and imagine their faces when aziraphale shows up on premises and crowley is all WHAT'RE YOU DOING HERE (basically—picture his disbelieving grin, the one he wears every time aziraphale surprises him) and aziraphale is all "well, i saw you in the morning paper, didn't i?" and he's, staring at crowley, who's got his sleeves rolled up and gloves on and he's up to his forearms in radioactive-looking bioluminescent goo, and he's all "hang on, let me get these gloves off, this stuff'll eat straight through your clothes and i remember how much you love that waistcoat—" "you remember?" "...'course i remember."

*insert soppy looks here*

anyway, then they go on a dinner date, sushi and chilled sake, and crowley rambles on at aziraphale about kaiju gut microbiomes and how they harness radioactive phytoplankton to power their digestive system through nuclear fission (or whatever), and aziraphale tries very hard to focus more on his food than on crowley's wildly gesticulating hands

i could go on but essentially it's just... pining and fluff. fluff and pining. and enormous sea monsters from another dimension of course

Third Wheel Pt. 2

In which Starchild walks in on his OTP once again. 

Everything in this AU technically belongs to @cosmicrealmofkissteria!

Another time was also purely by accident, although even Starchild had to admit he should’ve known better this time.

This time he was dashing toward Demon’s chambers, excitement coursing through him. The Elder had just informed him they would be having visitors this coming moon: their allies from Rhye to be specific. Which meant the Prince of Rhye, Freddie, would be part of the coming party. Naturally, Starchild just had to tell Demon about it, because Prince Freddie was the most flamboyant yet kindest being Starchild knew. And his voice—gods, Starchild thought his voice was good, but Freddie’s was gods-gifted for sure.

Starchild was so excited by the news that he forgot what it most likely meant when Demon’s doors were closed. Instead, he burst through, smiling brightly. “Demon! You’ll never guess what—“

He froze.

Once again he had barged in on Demon and Vinneketh during a... private moment. Only this time, Vinneketh was the one on top of Demon. Granted, they had a blanket covering them this time around, but he could still see them.

There was a long stretch of silence in which both of them stared at Starchild, who was gawking right back, mouth agape. Finally, Starchild managed to get out, “... Hello...”

Vinneketh raised an eyebrow at him. “Hello, Starchild,” he said. His voice was calm, but it was rather like the sort of calm that came before a natural disaster. Demon, meanwhile, was gazing at Starchild in silent mortification.

For some strange reason, Starchild felt the sides of his mouth quirking up in a small smile. “What’s going on here?” He asked.

“Well, as you can see, we were rather in the middle of something,” replied Vinneketh.

Oh, he definitely saw. And the sight of Demon in a role that wasn’t the one he usually took was for some reason striking Starchild as wildly funny. “At least you had the decency to cover yourselves this time,” he stated. He looked over at Demon, and his smile widened. “Demon—“

Demon pointed a clawed finger at him. “Not a word,” he hissed.

Starchild raised his hands in surrender, still smiling. “If you insist. But I do have to say—“

“I said not a word!”

“—it’s rather touching to see you like this, my friend,”

Demon snarled at him.

Vinneketh still looked calm, but there was a tinge of pink to his white face. “If you’re quite done, Starchild, please leave,”

Starchild started to back out of the room. “My apologies,” he said. He shot one last grin at Demon. “Have fun,”

Once the doors shut, Starchild paused... then burst into laughter.

Well, at least he wasn’t traumatized by the sight of them together anymore. And he was definitely telling Freddie about this when he arrived.

[forwhatiam]

Queen Concept

Queen AU following the idea of Rhye. Freddie is an ethereal being who descends upon the earth from the sky and takes over as ruler of Rhye, presumably he took control from “my fairy king”. Brian is the prophet from his song. Roger is the “lily of the valley“. John is a duke of the Royal court. Paul is the “great king rat” who is playing as Freddie’s personal advisor. Brian and Roger warn against Paul having such an important role in Freddie’s life, but they can’t do much about it. Freddie at some point sets out to obtains the “seven seas of Rhye” but falls dreadfully ill. Jim is Freddie’s gardener, their relationship developing in a way almost exactly like real life but accounting for the world in which this takes place. “White Queen (as it began)” is Freddie, the song described Jim’s thoughts and feelings for Freddie as he grows sicker and sicker. The whole thing ending with the images described in “nevermore”.

Character designs follow closer to 70s Queen, but as time progresses, 80s Queen style can become more adopted into it. Think along the lines of the costumes from the “it’s a hard life” music video mixed in with outfits from the ballroom scene in the movie Labyrinth (but, like, not Freddie’s outfit from the music video because honestly I hate that outfit).

In terms of shipping, basically everybody has fucked everybody at some point in time whether it was a one-night stand or a committed relationship (excepting Paul and Jim who have only been with Freddie). Interpret as you will.

This isn’t the world’s best idea, but I thought it would be fun.

Rules! It's Maycury Week, so the central pairing should be Freddie and Brian, whether you want that to be Platonic or Romantic. No word count requirements, poetry music and imagery are as welcome as stories, and the prompts are only for inspiration - if you have an idea that doesn't match any prompt, we will be thrilled to see that too!

There will be a collection on AO3 which will go live the weekend before, as well as a round up of Tumblr posts at the end. Please tag everything “#Maycury Week 2022” so we can find it.

vocals. ¡!

• “rock band”

• they’re looking for a lead singer

• lucy’s an old friend, and you reconnect after auditioning

first impressions:

• rami is the lovable one, that you link up with as friends immediately. you see him as a sweet guy with brother - like potential, because he has a girlfriend— lucy!

• ben is the headstrong one, that’s only goofy when the rest of the band is. you see him as the argumentative one, because you two don’t seem to get along that well.

• gwil is the hopeful one, and you find it adorable. he has only great expectations for the band, and you see him as a best friend!

• joe is the sensitive, very goofy one. he constantly tries to joke around you, because he wants to impress you. you become close to him, and eventually start dating.

• you and lucy were childhood friends, so she’s your outlet to the band. you two become the best of friends because of this.

funny moments:

• you and ben argue over the stupidest things

• “why’d we get this brat on lead?”

• “why’d you hire a doofus on drums?”

• ben and gwil arguing over a drum solo or guitar solo, (they do the guitar solo obv)

• you cry on stage when the crowd starts singing for you

• gwil begging you to buy him a goldfish for some odd reason???

angsty moments:

• you have a lot of anxiety from performing

• rami and gwil comfort you for this

• when you and joe argue the night before, there’s a lot of tension at practice

• you instantly go to lucy when you’re not feeling great, vice versa

• when you think you’re pregnant, ben is the first to find out on accident

— he teases you before realizing that you’re completely serious

— it’s the first moment you connect with him

— spoiler alert: you’re not pregnant

• gwil’s girlfriend dumps him, and you’re there for him every step of the way

• rami’s style is judged by the media :(

relationship w joe moments:

• the band making fun of joe when he gets distracted while you sing lead

• “i’ll play you like i play my bass”

• “shut up, joey!”

• “get a room” - ben hardy 2020

• long nights after a sellout performance;)

• he asks you out by playing a song he learned on guitar, thanks to gwil

• again, ben calls you “yoko ono”

• joe comforts you when you get anxious

• tight hugs on stage

• you guys stumble upon fan accounts and fanfiction at your boost of popularity

• duets together because surprise surprise joe can sing in this au

• popeye and olive oil for halloween performance

• the age gap causes a lot of judgement and discrimination

• you sing him to sleep

• he plays with your hair

a/n: still procrastinating that soulmate fanfic. enjoy this alternate universe for now! also, thank you for reading my first writing, the thoughtful comments mean so much to me.

[bambirex]

I saw this question on someone else's blog and I wondered if you would like to do the same.

Anyway, mutuals as queen songs?

Ooooh this is super interesting and also super difficult?? But I like being stimulated (i mean getting my brain stimulated hehe) so thanks for this, Anon! ❤️

I tried only picking one or two songs for each album to make it easier and shorter:

My Fairy King - @plainxte. Since I read her series, The Path of Nevermore, I simply cannot help but associate this song with them 😃❤️

The March of The Black Queen - @tikiniki. I'm honestly not sure why, but as soon as I got this ask, my brain just did the connection. Sometimes, it's just the vibes 😃

Seven Seas of Rhye - once again, this has mostly to do with vibes, but @i-lay-my-life-before-queen. Also, her fighter, "take no shit" omega!Freddie has a lot to do with that, too, I think! ❤️

Brighton Rock - @pumpkinlilyao3. Idk it's just such a cute and upbeat song, and she was always super sweet to me 💕

You're My Best Friend- @eileen-crys because this is the ultimate Johnica song, and we know who's the biggest Johnica fangirl on here 😉

Drowse- @a-froger-epic. Idk, this song always gave me DoA vibes for some reason??? Just the melancholy and reminiscing of it all. 🤗

We Will Rock You - @freesiafields. She just seems like such an energetic person to me, so this song immediately came to mind 😃

Dreamer's Ball- @quirkysubject. Once again, vibes, and I also associate this song with her lovely Titanic AU! 💕

These Are The Days of Our Lives- @his-majesty-king-mercury. It's mostly to do with her bio, but also she has a lot of knowledge about Queen and I love reading her memories of them! ❤️

So yeah, I couldn't come up with more, but this was cool nonetheless! 😃

home

Helly stood by the crow's nest, his eyes sunk when he gazed at the direction they came from, at Broomskingdom, at home.

Oh, how he missed home.

"You were forced on this journey too, weren't you?"

Poli's deep voice caught him offguard.

Helly licked his lips. "I-"

"The first time I saw you I knew you didn't want to be in this journey." Poli cut him off, joining him in the crow's nest.

Helly fell silent.

"I guess you're right." he sighed.

"Rhye is very dangerous territory. We're the biggest target since were from their former nemesis-"

"I know." Helly groaned. "Queen made me learn every inch of history that we have between Rhye."

Their conversation was interuppted by Cap's voice.

"We're in the territory of the first sea!" he gleefully shouted.

"I barely know shit about the seas, how terrifying is this part?" Posty asked, nudging their "captain".

"It's Juno. It's barely worthy of a storm." Cap said. "Now fuck off." he elbowed Posty's arm off.

Juno was the shyest of the seven seas, barely stirring up any natural disasters, which made it easiest to cross.

It also has the largest measurement.

"We're gonna starve to death." Roy commented.

Haul Away, You Rolling Queens - A Queen AU Fic

Summary: It was Freddie who told them stories of the Kingdom of Rhye, an ancient mer kingdom that once ruled the seven seas before disappearing a thousand years ago. According to Brian it was just a myth, but Freddie was always certain that it was real and waiting to be discovered - but he never found proof of it before he fell sick, and vanished suddenly without a trace.

Now, 25 years later, Roger stumbles across a new clue that could lead them to Rhye - one with unexplained ties to their lost friend. But convincing Brian and John to take a leap of faith and join him in one final adventure is only the first hurdle. If they want to weather the rough seas ahead, they’ll have to not only sail into the unknown but finally face the unanswered questions and lingering grief left from Freddie’s disappearance.

Wordcount: ~42,000 (total fic)

Tags/Warnings: Sailor Roger, Lighthouse Keeper John, Sea Witch Brian, Siren Freddie, Nautical & Merman AU, Grief/Mourning, Emotional Hurt/Comfort, Old Age, Sailing, Adventure, Magic, Eventual Happy Ending. 

Please read the Author’s Note on AO3 for further warnings and information.

>> READ IT HERE <<

Notes: This is the first AU I’ve written in nearly a decade and I have @tenderbri​ to thank for giving me the inspiration and encouragement to tackle this project, and cheering me along as I wrote this ♥

I’ve been working on this fic almost non-stop for the last two months. If you made the mistake of following me over on my main, you’ve seen me doing a lot of screaming about the writing process with this. I haven’t been this excited about or invested in a fic in a long time (and yes, I’m including writing the corset fic in that statement) and I’m so so thrilled to finally be able to share this with you!

For once, I won’t be cross-posting this fic over here on tumblr - it’s only available to read on AO3, and as of April 26th, 2020 the entire fic is now posted! So please check it out! I really am so proud of this story and I really hope you all like it!

The Six Kids AU - John Knox.

I watched Good omens and the movie Mary Queen of Scots, where David Tennant played Crowley in Good Omens and John Knox in MQoS ... And after watching a video about @arty-e Six Kids, I had a Brainstorm!

I tried to list in order, but in my head everything was mixed up:

1. John Knox is a big fan of Queen and Freddie Mercury.

2. Carries a flamethrower with which he fights against Mezza.

3. John is the leader, showraner, and vocalist for Reformation Wall (along with William Farel, John Calvin and Theodore Beza) .

4. Bentley drives and each time arriving to visit Six, Queen’s song “Don’t stop me now” is heard from the car.

5. Each time Mezza attacks Elizabeth, Anne Boleyn threatens to first invite Johnny N. (as he calls him) to visit.

6. He plays the guitar, piano and saxophone.

7. The funniest fact is that the original John died on the same day (November 24) as Freddie Mercury.

8. Freddie Mercury and Crowley - the basis of inspiration for John from AU.

9. In past, in my AU, John was bisexual, he treasured his friend, George Wishart, and was sad and angry after his death. It was his death that became one of reasons for his fierce resistance to Catholicism.

10. John was twice married and has 5 children (2 sons from his first marriage and 3 daughters from his second), with the second wife, Margaret Stewart, a relative of Mezza Scots.

11. John believed that his second wife was the reincarnation of George (she was born a year after his execution) and therefore he did not care that she was related to the Catholic Queen who hated him.

12. Mary I, like Catherine of Aragon and Jane Seymour, are afraid of John Knox and always try to prevent him from coming to "visit".

13. John despised women on the throne, but he spoke of Mary I, Mezza Scots, and her mother. Not of Elizabeth I.

15. John Theme Song: Queen - The Show Must Go On.

14. He respects and admires Anna Boleyn and Elizabeth I (but she still feels hostility and hatred towards him, even if he saved her several times from Mezza) and warmly, in a fashionable way, refers to James I Stewart, Jane Grey and Edward VI.

Also Queen songs:

* All Dead, All Dead - describes John's feelings after the death of his first wife, Margery Bowes.

* Rain Must Fall and Love of my life - his attitude towards George Wishart and his death.

* Seven Seas of Rhye and One Vision - in second and third place, after TSMGO, which describes John.

* White Queen - John's feelings for his second wife, Margaret Stewart.

Later I will add about relationships in the group when I study the "Wall" in detail.

A quiet groan escaped (Y/N)'s lips as she rose from her bed, scrubbing her eyes that were still sore from the previous night's tears. Her book had fallen to the floor during her slumber and now lay open on the floor, words facing the ceiling. She felt exhausted, despite the fact she'd only just woken up. Silence rang through the house, causing her eyebrows to furrow upon coming to her senses. There was never silence in her house. There was always something yelling, or her brother giggling or some shit tv show on the tv. Something wasn't right. Cautiously, she swung her feet from the bed, creeping over to the door and pulling it open. As (Y/N) slowly made her way through the home, she could feel eyes watching her and whispers seemed to filter into every crevice.

"Dad? Alice? Sam?" She called reluctantly, investigating every room with careful steps. Bundling her dressing gown close to her body, her footsteps grew faster as she raced between rooms, desperately searching for her family. "Hello?!"

But upon reaching one of the guest bedrooms, she froze. Then gently, warily, her hand rested on the door. The voices grew louder and louder, however, when (Y/N) pushed the door open, they instantly silenced. The feeling of eyes on her body never left, sending shivers to run down her spine. It was cold inside and the windows were blown open. Though, strangely, at the same time, it was all too hot, resulting in (Y/N) to shrug off her dressing gown. She was left in just her oversized sleep shirt and some shorts as she paced through the room, eyeing every corner intently. A hushed call of her name made her turn sharply. She saw nothing. Only a large teddy bear in the corner that she was sure hadn't been there before.

"Sam? Is that you?" (Y/N) asked quietly, fear coursing through her veins as she hesitantly approached the bear "Knock it off Sammy- this isn't funny!"

Every step closer made goosebumps rise on her skin and the hairs on the back of her neck stood on end. That muffled whispering returned ten times louder as she stepped towards the bear. However, drowsiness started to seep in and before she knew it, she had collapsed onto the floor of the bedroom, three pairs of strong hands latched onto her body.

Hushed voices seemed to bounce through every crack of the icy stone walls. Shadows danced behind the door, disintegrating through its decades of existence. (Y/N)'s ears strained to hear the exchange happening just beyond the padlocked door, but she daren't open her eyes, in fear of what was hidden behind her eyelids. A few hours ago, her life had been certain. Absolutely awful, but certain. She knew everything she needed to know and never had a question to ask. Those questions had been forced out of her many years ago. But her discovery had left her to stir in confusion and for the first time in her time, she was lost.

Stories are an old expression of fantasy, existing long before the days of you and I. In her book, it spoke of an island, hidden in the centre of the seven seas of rhye. An island which contained the black and white queens, ogre territory and ...The Fairy King. Ever since childhood, (Y/N) has been enamoured by this tale, playing games with other children about it. However, that was all it was: a tale. A fragmentation of reality. Or so she thought. Never in her life did she expect to be on that island.

"What is a human doing here?" A cold voice sneered, breaking her from her hurricane of thought. (Y/N)'s ears perked up and she allowed her eyes to open, only for them to snap shut when a click echoed into the room, followed by the harsh creaking of the old wooden door.

"We found it, like you requested, my king," The next man to speak held a softer tone, but there was no fear as if he was used to the other man’s hardened nature.

"I said, souls. I never said, human souls! You know how much I hate them? They're disgusting, pitiful creatures. May, you promised me when I became king that no human would step foot on this island!" Oh. The King. But surely, that wasn't possible? The fairy king was a story. So was the island. She had to be dreaming. Or hallucinating. Anything but this. Though the cold seeping through her shirt, the dampness swarming around her toes and the ache of her wrists against the rope felt too real. Footsteps sounded, getting closer, closer, closer. Until they stopped.

"Yes my king, I did. But you requested weak, damaged souls, and hers is the worst we could find," A new voice joined and his was the most delicate of them all. So quiet, it could hardly be heard over the dripping behind (Y/N)'s head.

"Ah, I see we have an actress on our hands," The King sated and (Y/N) couldn't ponder on the meaning behind his words before a hand grabbed the front of his shirt. Her eyes shot open, a gasp being pulled from her lips as the king yanked her forwards so she fell before the trio's feet. As fast as a cheetah, the woman kicked her feet, effectively distancing herself from the three men that towered over her form. Her heart was a pounding drum, beating against his ribcage. But then, she finally got a look at them.

The first- who she assumed was the king- wore a bright red outfit, flimsy strings of fabric crossing half of his chest and falling down his arms. Giant eyes, unblinking and glossy decorated his body, beginning from his right leg and journeying diagonally to his left shoulder. he was adorned with an odd looking crown, positioned on his mane-like black hair. There was a dark smile on his lips that sent shivers running up (Y/N)'s spine.

The second had long curly hair that twirled in the breeze. His hair made him loo poodle-like and if (Y/N) had been in a less potentially life-threatening situation, he would've laughed. He was tall and lanky with a sharp jaw that could cut through metal and a crooked (and clearly anxious) smile. His hazel eyes were fixed on (Y/N) with a scary intensity, studying every move she made. Calculating her next move. Her next words.

And the final man wore a knight's costume, but the helmet he had tucked under his arm had a unicorn head upon it. Permed hair jumped as his head switched between his king and the prisoner, eyes flickering between kind brown to blazing orange.

"Deacon, release this girl from her confinements," The king demanded and the knight, now known as Deacon, approached the shaking woman. (Y/N) backed up until she was pressed against the wall.

"I'm not going to hurt you, human. Just going to release you," Deacon reassured, shooting her a gentle smile, eyes flashing orange once more. (Y/N) reluctantly presented her bound wrists, an invisible force tugging them to Deacon who untied the knot.

"Now, human, I am the Fairy King, the ruler of this land. But you, my dear, may call me Mercury. Now you will cooperate with me, or you might find me to be rather...cruel."A small smirk rose onto Mercury's lips and Deacon and May exchanged nervous glances. But, with that smirk, a strong sense of fear welled up in her body.

"Where am I?" She requested feebly, eyes wide as saucers as she took in the unfamiliar setting, head whipping around with a small jerk.

"You're on the island of the Fairy King," May answered softly, taking a small step back upon seeing her fear.

"But-but that's impossible. You're all- you're all fictional. This can't be real," Every second that passed pulled a shorter breath out of her. It wasn't an uncommon thing for her to get panicked in unfamiliar circumstances, but this definitely was a weird circumstance she'd found herself in "Why am I here?"

"You were miserable in that life, dear, we've come to your rescue, if that wasn't already incredible obvious enough," Mercury replied, flicking his long, immaculately neat hair from his face. (Y/N) shook her head.

"But what about my family?" She pushed, resting her chin on her knees as she sat up a little, eyeing the three suspiciously. May's gaze hadn't faltered for a second and it had started to unnerve her a little. The frequent flashing of Deacon's eyes had also begun to freak her out. Eyes like that couldn't be normal, could they?

"What about them?" Mercury shrugged, not even looking up from his nails, as if the words coming from his mouth held no importance.

"They won't know where I am! I need to go home. I don't belong here!" May and Deacon exchanged a look of worry at (Y/N)'s defiance. Last time someone had defied the Fairy King, it hadn't ended prettily for the prisoner.

"Did they make you cry?" Mercury interrogated, eyebrows raised for a response. Her eyes flickered up to the king and she nervously looked back down, fingers spinning and twisting her shirt.

"Yes," She responded quietly, almost silent.

"Can they make you cry now?" He pressed further, a small smile rising to his lips upon seeing her face drop.

"No," (Y/N) answered but just as the three men thought she was about to give up, she looked back up "But I have to go home. I need to be there. For my little brother."

"You want to go back for some child? Why? They're disgustingly dirty and they stick their fingers where they don't belong," The look on Mercury's face was one of pure revulsion and (Y/N) stood up shakily.

"You would be safer here," May added, worried for what would happen if she kept trying her luck with the King.

"I don't want safe. I want to be there for my brother. He needs a better influence than my father. I need to be the big sister that helps him," She stated, more forcefully this time and a dark chuckle escaped the king after a prolonged silence.

"If you want to go home so much, you can go home. But first, you must follow me..."

The Seven Seas Of Rhye (Queen AU)

Hi! I have written a new fanfiction about Queen! I will publish the first chapter in the evening!
