#but Remus should get some kindve comumpnce

[sidespart]

I’m sleep deprived but I wan like. An AU where Patton and Dee are brothers or cousins or best friends ornsomin and they’re kids. And they go to like. The monthly market in the forest clearing. Which is magic. Maybe they’re selling their dads potions or vegetables or whatever it is.

And Patton finds a witches stall with like. An even littler kid in a bird cage. And the (dragon?) witch is like ‘scram this is a fairy child it’s song could bewitch the king himself and it will cost you more then your family makes in 10 years now sho sho’

so Patton goes to Dee and is like. “There is a smol child locked up over there and that Is Wrong.” And Dee goes “There is a full grown witch over there and they will Literally Murder Us” and they stare at each other with Pattons pout getting increasingly justice-y until Dee goes FINE.

And Dee goes straight up to the dragon witch and starts spinning some yarn about the rising price of newt eyes or whatever like the little con man he is, whilst Patton sneaks behind her back tries to bust open the cage. But obvi as he finally breaks the lock he makes a noise and the witch spins round and screams and they all make a run for it but the witch grabs Dee by the hand until Patton turns round a friggin. Yeets the empty cage at her and then they’re both running and they make It to the tree line.

And they keep running for a while but it seems like no ones chasing them so they slow down and introduce themselves to the fae kid. He’s got red eyes and brown hair and butterfly wings which are a bit ripped and can’t seem to talk and Patton tells Dee what the witch said about his song being bewitching and wonders if she did something to him to stop him singing and Dee is just ‘So not ONLY did we risk life and limb to rescue this fairy but now we find out it doesn’t even work??” Which makes Patton glare at him so Dee mumbles something like “we can’t keep calling him kid, what about ‘Roman’?” Which is the same of the wise and handsome prince in one of there favourite childhood stories (and Patton explains to Roman that Dee finds apologising straightforwardly like a normal person difficult but giving him such an important name is his way of *trying* to say sorry) and Roman seems happy with the name and they take turns giving him piggy back rides back to their dads cottage deep in the forest

(Virgil Dad is just like. Patton is supposed to keep them out of trouble and Dee is supposed to get them out of any trouble they do get in to how has this gone so terribly fucking wrong.

But he does immediately go get roman a bath and some clean clothes because harbinger of doom or not he’s still a little abused kid and Virgil is like. Dad Instincts Activate. He also tries to look at ros ripped wing but when he touches it to flinches back and several glass jars on the other side of the room shatter so that ends quickly)

So the next day the three kids decided to set out to figure out how to return Roman to his real family (Virgil can’t leave the grounds of his house because convenient curse but they’re planning to go to their uncle Logan’s (not sure if he’s Virgils brother or boyfriend or just a weird forest dweller) first and get his advice before anything else anyway.

But even through Pat and Dee know every inch of the Forrest they’re hopelessly lost within hours.

And dees hand that the witch grabbed is itchy and painful and seems to be growing scales??

And roman is looking more and more distressed and sometimes one of his eyes seems to glow green.

And Patton doesn’t know how to fix any of this but they gotta try.

Right?

#just. idk #fairy taley magicy nonsense. #maybe Logan is a disgraced wizard or a half fae/ fairy too #and eventually helps them out #meanwhile dees scales keep spreading every time he lies #but since he lies like he breaths none of them figure out the connection and first #and Remus #idk if he’s trying to find roman for good brother reasons or if he sold roman to the witch in the first place and is now trying to track hi #m down so he can #get rid of him for good #before the rest of the fair folk realise what he’s done #he keeps trying to see through Roman’s eyes but Ro is Fighting Him #maybe eventually roman chooses to give up what’s left of his fairy magic to save Dee (and Virgil?) fron the curse #and lives out the rest of his life as their human brother #but Remus should get some kindve comumpnce #maybe high fairy’s turn him human too? #or into an octopus #I didn’t actually mean to write more of this in the tags but here we are #I’ve decided Logan is half fae /fairy #the old curse on Virgil was never meant to keep him from the whole world #just to keep him and Logan separated #Logan can’t remember him unless virge is in front of him? #eventually both curses get lifted and they get married and raise the four kids #gay an happy #maybe dees eye stays yellow allowing him too see into the magic realms #as a reward from the elders for helping #let’s him be a powerful wizard later #with Patton as his advisor of course #i need to sleep
