Gunther: I was born to say "WHAT in the WORLD are you DOING?", but I'm forced to say "Are you certain that is a wise decision, Father?"

Just found this awesome set of lyrics and I'm planning to make a little art things for each line for Gunther.

"The noble are weary

The noble are weary

This cradle still burns

Like a hole in my chest

Can anyone hear me?

Can anyone hear me?

The crooked are smiling

They know me the best

If mercy's abound

I'll be safe, I'll be sound

And the devil won't know of the love

I just couldn't let go

I won't pretend

My season won't end

But I pray, when it's done, when it's through

I'll have something left for you"

It's called "the crooked the cradle" by the crane wives.

Perhaps a slightly obscure AU idea for JATD, but I was rewatchcing Ice Princess and I started to think, Ice Skating AU for JATD??

Jane and Gunther on competing teams

Magnus being one of those father’s that pushes his son to the limits (he needs him to win, for reputation and money obviously)

Adeline being one of those mother’s that pushes Jane to the limits (not for the money or reputation though, but because she wants to see Jane succeed)

Jane and Gunther ultimately bond over that

Oh! Oh! One competition, Gunther is forced by his father to sabotage Jane and this causes her to explode at him, obviously, because he wins unfairly and stuff

Smithy’s obviously the local zamboni bro. Oh and skate fixer

Jester, Lavina, and Cuthbert are all a part of the team Jane’s on

Gwendolyn and Caradoc are the owners of the rink they practice at

Sir Theodore as the trainer, which I know sounds odd, but tbh he’d be elegant on the ice 

Not sure where Sir Ivon sits in all this

Dragon is now Jane’s pet dog

Pepper still does the food at the rink obviously, but every now and then she gets on the ice

Rake’s position is also unknown at this point, but he’ll get something I’m sure

Gunther eventually quiting and joining Jane’s rink

Or even, better yet, both Jane and Gunther rebelling against each of their parents and just outright quitting the day before a big competition. Magnus and Adeline are both mad respectively

There’s actually so many idea that could grow from this like omg

Pirate!Gunther AU

As promised for Aura on the JatD discord.

The sloppy summary of my pirate!Gunther AU that I would like to write someday but probably never will.

TW: slavery

Gunther is tasked with escorting one of his father’s ships on a long (6+ month) voyage. Theodore/the King agree to it because it will be a character-building experience for Gunther and the kingdom owes Magnus lots of money soo. Gunther isn’t really keen but he knows he has no choice and no one cares so he just has to suck it up. All he knows is that they are picking up a highly valuable cargo and he must guard it until it is delivered, then the ship can return home. Jane and the others are just like ‘well it’s only six months/it’s an adventure!’ and aren’t reality worried. 

So Gunther sets off, eventually gets his sea legs and stops feeling sick constantly and starts to enjoy the taste of freedom. This is a new ship with an entirely new crew, none of the familiar faces Gunther has come to know over the years, and they mostly leave him alone. 

A few months after his departure, word arrives at Kippernium that the ship and all hands have been lost at sea. Jane wants to organise a search party but Magnus is strangely refusing to help, saying there’s nothing to be done, and the King doesn’t have the resources. She flies out to sea on Dragon to search a few times but with no information on what direction to go and her responsibilities doubled at the castle without Gunther she ultimately has to give up. 

Many years pass and Jane, now a knight, is on night-time guard duty at the gate when a stranger approaches. She can tell from his walk that he’s a sea-farer, and he says his ship is in port and leaving early morning but he had hoped to see the castle and dragon he once heard about from a boy lost at sea. 

Of course Jane thinks of Gunther and immediately starts questioning the stranger, who tells her that might have been the name of the boy he knew briefly, but he was taken by pirates and is long dead. The stranger asks about Gunther and his father, and Jane tells him that Magnus died of ill health several years ago. A new merchant family live in his house now, and with no heir left the kingdom took possession of his properties and was freed of their debts. They tried to continue his trading business, but his ships were often targeted by pirates and the fleet greatly reduced. The stranger is quiet. Jane wants to know more about what happened to Gunther but he is reticent and sticks to the shadows. Eventually he agrees to tell her a story if she doesn’t ask any more questions. Jane agrees. 

The ship Gunther was on was enroute to pick up slaves, Magnus’ new money-making scheme. He wanted Gunther to act as guard because he was loyal to his father and Magnus didn’t want his new venture to be widely known. The slaves were loaded into the hold one night while Gunther slept, and the ship was back out to sea before he realised. He was upset and disgusted of course but the crew of the ship ignored him and wouldn’t turn around. Ultimately Gunther decided that if he was to guard the cargo then he would do just that, and protect them from the ship’s crew and make sure they were being fed enough. This didn’t make him popular with the crew and the slaves didn’t trust him, but he spent most of his time in the hold with them, trying to bridge the language barrier. He wasn’t allowed to let them out of their cages and the hold grew increasingly pungent, but he couldn’t go enjoy fresh air and freedom on deck while captive humans suffered below. Of course this all took a toll on his health, so when the ship was attacked by pirates one night there wasn’t much he could do about it. 

The ship and the cargo were taken and the crew put to death. Gunther was knocked out and woke up chained in the scullery of the pirate ship. He was put to work as a kitchen hand/deck hand, and it was days before he began to piece together what was going on. Half of the pirate crew remained on board the merchant ship with the slaves who were now freed to move around the ship. The pirates were mostly freed slaves themselves, from all different countries, races and languages. While they were always looking for merchant vessels to plunder, they would take the time to free any slaves they found and offer them two choices, join the pirates or be left at the nearest safe harbour. The pirates always killed slaver crews, and Gunther was only left alive because some of the slaves spoke in his favour, and the pirates needed a new cabin boy. He wasn’t treated kindly by the pirates who had little sympathy for the son of a slave trader and his already failing health was made worse by hard labour.

The stranger told Jane he was a freed slave who met Gunther briefly on his journey to safe harbour, and Gunther told him stories about the distant kingdom with a gentle King and a dragon that was tamed by a girl with wild red hair. “They will be searching for me,” Gunther would tell the stranger. He died before the man left the ship, his body thrown to the sea, his existence erased. 

The stranger prepares to leave, his story told, and Jane becomes upset, wanting to know his name. 

“No questions,” he reminds her. “The boy you knew is gone. Tell your king to run dragon flags on his ships and they will be left alone.”

He leaves, and Jane must remain at the gate. She heads to the port as soon as her shift ends, but the ship is long gone.  

Out at sea, the stranger has removed his cloak and hood, and gives orders as the captain of the ship. They take down the merchant flags and run up their pirate blacks. His first mate asks after his night ashore. “The merchant is dead,” says the captain. “His line is done. They will do no more harm.”

The captain is called all number of things by the people he robs and the people he helps. By his crew he is simply called ‘captain’. Once, in his distant past, he was called Gunther, but that name died with the boy who wore it, when another pirate captain learned he was educated in language, reading, numbers and combat and had been kind to slaves. He gave the ailing boy a chance, which grew into a different kind of apprenticeship than the one the boy had known. A new life, an atonement, call it what you will. His old identity was shed and he became ‘the boy’ who one day eventually became ‘captain’.

A vast shadow passes over the ship. A giant green dragon, and a fire-haired knight on its back. The captain looks up as his crew yell and clamour. His black hair waves like a banner in the wind and his grey eyes meet the dragon riders’ green ones. They share a moment before she touches the dragon’s neck and they turn, rising as they go, back towards the mountains of their home.  

The captain watches them go. 

#IDK why I always descend into melodrama with these things #jane and the dragon #jatd #au

[nightstar-appreciation]

I've just been reading the most recent chapter of Dragonblade and I'm wondering why the characters seem to think Gunther's plan is so horrible.

It brought me back to the "Pride and Pollen" episode of JATD where Gunther sets in motion a plan to expose his father and prove dragon's innocence, but in the end he saves his father, clinging to this abusive relationship because it's the only one he has.

In Dragonblade his plan is similar, set in motion a course of events which will culminate in his father being exposed for the liar he is. By doing so Gunther would be aiding both himself and the kingdom; he would be freed from his father's abuse, the ever-present shadow of malice which has destroyed every other relationship he has attempted to form (S01 E11 "Three's a Crowd") and in doing so isolated him to a point where no one in the castle seems to consider him a friend, or consider his offers of friendship legitimate, and the Kingdom would no longer live under Magnus's thumb

Why are Jane and Jester horrified that Gunther is trying to break free of his abuser who is Literally plotting treason?
