🔆 ROTBTDoodles 2023 DAY17: PIRATES
This particular prompt means a lot to me, cause it’s reminiscent of a fanfic I used to write back when I was, what, thirteen? fourteen?, of the ROTBTD gang in a Pirates!AU. This was such a joy to make :’)
I wrote a little snippet along with this, for old times’ sake. Enjoy? Question mark?:
“Whether I like it or not,” said the princess, “I’m being hunted, and I’m probably the only one left able to find your treasure.”
Rapunzel didn’t see the way the captain and her two trusted mates glanced at her, and they did so with fresh eyes. What had once been their prisoner, a means to an end, was now another lost soul aboard The Guardian.
No one said anything for a moment, until the princess sighed, leaning against the banister. “I have no where else to go. Guess I’m all yours.”
She tried to smile. It came out as a sad wince.
Captain Merida shared a look with the very conflicted Jack, and then at Hiccup, who sighed with pity. What a turn of events it had been; their princess: framed, hunted. And though she was the key to their future of riches, suddenly the thought of it all, of using this poor girl, it all felt… bleak.
Merida scoffed, straightening up, having made a decision at last. “Nuff’a that. You all have work t’ do. On with it! And you!” She pointed at Rapunzel, who jumped slightly. “Lucky day for you, lass, for a prisoner ye are no more. You’ll be doin’ work like the rest of us. Hiccup! She’ll be with ya.”
Hiccup didn’t complain, pocketing his notebook before nodding at Rapunzel. “Alright, uh. You’re with me in the kitchen then.”
Jack hopped off, sparing Rapunzel a glance as he passed, like he was going to say something. He ended up turning away, off to the canons most likely, glaring at his feet as he left. Merida could only sigh when she caught it, as well as watch thoughtfully as Hiccup and Rapunzel disappeared belowdeck.
What a strange turn of events indeed. But Merida had decided; they’d done this before, taking in strays. And if Rapunzel was going to be here a while, until she thinks of what to do after finding the treasure, then at least she’ll give her a home in the seas.
It’ll have to do. It has to.

“Hey, uh, Hic?”
“What have you done?”
“Nothing, damn! Mind picking us up, though? Hehe.”
(In which Jack and Merida finished a concert, Rapunzel’s car went kaput on them, and they’re now hoping their responsible boyfriend Hiccup can drop his studies for a few minutes to pick them up.)

🔆 ROTBTDoodles DAY12: MERIPUNZEL
In a land of myth, and a time of magic… so yeah I thought of a Merlin AU of these two where Merida is a princess of a kingdom that criminalizes magic, and her servant, Rapunzel, is magical.
