especially Red as the fairy god mother

So I was playing Once Upon a Dream on my flute and then thought of this and laughed so much I couldn’t finish playing:

Cinderella: Twistfell edition

So Twist and Blackberry are both “Cinderella”, living with their evil “stepmother” (or rather, employer/mistress – in the sense of mistress of the house, that is) – Twist Muffet, of course. Perhaps she adopted them from the street as kids after Twist attempted pickpocketing her or similar, realizing they could be useful. Blackberry does the housework while Twist officially works i.e. in the estate’s stables and similar work, though he probably does shadier work on the side.

The king and the oldest-prince-by-adoption has decided to marry off the youngest prince-by-adoption. This is Cash. So they throw a ball to find him a suitable spouse.

Obviously Twist isn’t actually a suitable spouse but the Fairy Godmother – could be Red since he likes taking care of the Papyri plus I think that’d be hilarious – comes and dresses him and Blackberry up as princes and sends them to the ball for the night to “have some fun for once”. Little does they know Red has plans.

Plum sees Twist and decides he looks like the wealthiest person in the room (fooled) and sends Cash to dance with him. Cash hates it at first, of course, but since Twist is such a charmer – and not nearly as formal and uptight as most others – he finds himself falling for the strange, foreign prince. Jackpot, Red thinks for himself as he’s watching from wherever fairy godmothers go when they’re not doing magical social work.

By midnight Blackberry, who has been enjoying the snacktable, just comes and grabs Twist and they run like hell and gets out of there. Cash is very upset because he’s certain his dumb feelings aren’t reciprocated but Plum is angry and decides they shall find this prince. He can’t possibly have gotten that far yet. They remember his golden eyelights.

So he sends Cash and a random duke (who is there to make sure Cash doesn’t just go hang out in the slums instead) out on a mission to check every skeleton in the kingdom for this golden magic.

Muffet hears and knows and she is not happy. Locks Twist in someplace (hello claustrophobia). Blackberry manages to get out, though, and Red comes to help. When Cash and the duke shows up to knock on Muffet’s door she’s super sweet of course and “Oh there’s no skeletons here, Your Highness” but Red makes sure he sees Blackberry (who is looking very frightened so he’ll get suspicious) and Cash’s guards force her to let them in upon which Blackberry takes Cash to where Twist is locked in.

Twist is saved, Red turns them into princes again so Plum and Asriel won’t throw them out, and Cash is furious and has Muffet thrown into the dungeon. For lying to royalty, because it’s probably not life-time on punishing your servants by locking them in somewhere small. Priorities, yanno?

Anyway, Cash now gets to know everything and Twist admits he’s interested in Cash just like Cash is in him and they start dating and eventually marry. Blackberry gets his own herbal garden in the castle and becomes a famous apothecary. Plum and Asriel never knows Twist and Blackberry aren’t very uneducated royalty, but very uneducated commoners.

And they Lived Happily Ever After.

Taadaa. @itsladykit Here have something silly

Lol. Oh, man, but I actually love that? It’s really cute, and I love the way it blends their “canon” and the fairytale.

Also? Fairy Red (or, as I would absolutely call him, the Red Fairy) is just. Hilarious in the best ways.
