Genie: Alright, you get... seventeen wishes.
Jaune: Shouldn't it be three?
Genie: Normally yeah, but... *Motions at Jaune's everything* You got a lot going on and all.
Jaune: Well... *Pulls out a notepad* Guess I got some wiggle room. Could you give this a read-through?
~~~~~~~~~~
Genie: *"Seated" at a table, reading glasses on and a lit cigarette in hand* ... Impossible (Physically), Impossible (Mentally), Impossible (Ethically, Morally & Legally) Impossible (Metaphyscially?).
Jaune: So... how many are left?
Genie: Uh... *Flipping back and forth through the notepad, tapping the ashes of the half-done cigarette in an overflowing ashtray* Uh...
Jaune: Just say it.
Genie: Yeah, no. Son, you're boned.
Jaune: Figures.

I had to cut back on a few ideas so it didn’t look too complex, but here’s my Eldritch AU Desiree! Unlike the original she was already immensely powerful until one day a mortal deceived her, trapping Desiree in a bottle like many other djinn. So this time around the way she grants wishes is all out of malicious compliance to indirectly kill anyone foolish enough not to choose their words more wisely. On rare occasions Desiree comes across an innocent soul and tends to take it easy on them, especially struggling young women and children. As you can imagine she’s not a fan of mortal men since it was one of them who tricked her into the bottle but legend says Desiree did fall in love with a man once, a sultan, who despite his rank treated her with great care before promising to free her at long last.
Alas, it was not to be.
Believing Desiree to be nothing but a simple harem girl, in a fit of jealousy the queen stole her prized bottle and threw it over the castle wall where it was soon buried in the sand, forgotten. Unable to stray far from her prison Desiree suddenly vanished before the sultan’s eyes. He searched the palace high and low but could find no trace of her. Fearing that she had been abducted by someone who uncovered her true identity the sultan spent his remaining years traveling across his kingdom to rescue her but never saw Desiree again. Their kingdom fell a few years later to a bandit raid when the queen was left behind during one of his many trips. No one knows what became of him either. Did he return to a city in ruins? Die far from his home? Who can say.
To this day Desiree waits beneath the rolling sands, hoping to once more catch a glimpse of the sun and grant enough wishes to free herself once and for all. That is why it is said there is a limit of three wishes to each owner of the bottle. It’s because if they made any more than that and she would become too powerful for anyone to control. Ironic isn’t it? Desiree gains her power from wishes and yet is exploited by humans to have their deepest desires granted, usually not fully understanding the cost or possible consequences of tampering with an entity with “phenomenal cosmic power” at her fingertips.
