Day 2 is some cavalry AU stuff!! Ironically I think this actually fits the silk and steel theme decently well

Context note for the unfamiliar: Cavalry AU is set in World War I, in which Rapunzel is a nurse-turned-soldier and Cassandra is a steed - a centaur paired with a human rifleman - in the elite centaur cavalry. Circumstances throw them together and Gay Shenanigans™ ensue.

1. Cassandra being a scruffy war hjorse 2. An older Rapunzel sketch pls ignore her wonky face I was having a rough time 3.Cassunzel just getting to vibe after the war because they deserve it 4. Cassunzel during a battle

@laikaspeaks is the author of our writing snippet today, based on the fourth drawing-- I’ll post the AO3 link in a reblog!!

OKAY here’s my first cassunzel week post-- please keep in mind most if not all of these will have pretty much nothing to do with the actual theme because I couldn’t follow a theme to save my life and are more just me throwing excessively niche cassunzel content at y’all that’s been sitting in my backlog.

THAT SAID, 

Context + Writing Snippet under the cut 

So this is an AU @laikaspeaks and I came up with a few months ago. The premise is that Cassandra works with a traveling rodeo event as kind of The Ultimate Challenge in bronc riding, and Rapunzel is an adrenaline junkie who somehow, for some reason, cannot be bucked off. They end up having a very intense homoerotic rivalry and eventually get stuck together doing a show, creating an enemies-to-lovers speedrun involving several major injuries

---------------------

Now onto the writing, in which Eugene and Lance decided it was a good idea to get Rapunzel to enter the centaur bronc riding competition to knock her down a peg after her long string of successes on horses. 

Spoilers: It was not a good idea they created a monster and the monster is gay

---------------------

"Eugene, buddy....I don't know if this is such a good idea."

Eugene scoffed, slapping his friend on the back. "Relax, Lance, who do you think she's gonna pull, Cass? I bet you a dime to a dozen the system's rigged so beginners can't pull her." Lance raised an eyebrow, and Eugene groaned. "Oh come on, Lance, she'll probably take a good hit from Ronnie or someone and finally know how it feels to get her ass whooped! We get a good laugh, she gets her ego knocked into place, everybody wins! Well, mostly we win. But....well....tough love, am I right?" Lance still looked unamused, but whatever he might've said was interrupted by the heavy thud-thud-thud of footsteps moving rapidly toward them. Eugene turned just in time to catch Rapunzel before she barreled into him, catching her by the shoulders. "Whoa, whoa, whoa! Take it easy, Sunshi-" "I pulled my name out of the hat!" Rapunzel was beaming, bouncing on her toes as she held a folded piece of paper in her hand. Her hair was already wildly disheveled and her shirtcollar was haphazardly bent. "I thought I'd come find you before I opened it!" Eugene smirked, glancing gleefully at Lance before turning his attention back to Rapunzel. "Well, let's see what you got, Blondie," he moved in behind her shoulder as she started unfolding the paper. "Oooh, let me guess-- Ronnie? Or Ronnie's husband? Dammit what's his name I can never remember his name-" "It says Cassandra." Eugene's train of thought careened off the tracks and his eyes bulged out of his skull. “Cassa-- wha--?” Rapunzel, completely unperturbed, beamed up at him. "Oh, that's a pretty name! Don't you think, Eugene?"

Eugene grabbed the paper out of her hands, reading it over once, twice, three times. "Ho-o-oly cheese and crackers-- Rapunzel I don't think-- I don't know-- how did you pull that name?!" Lance leaned down and cupped a hand around Eugene's ear. "Told you this was a bad idea," he sing-songed quietly. "Shut it, Lance," Eugene snarled. Rapunzel frowned at them. "They told me to pull a name out of the hat, so I did! I don't see what the problem is, you guys." Eugene took a deep, steadying breath. Of all the ways for this to blow up in his face-- "Oh, Sunshine, I don't know if this is such a good idea--" "It's a horrible one, in fact," Lance cut in. Rapunzel glanced back and forth between them for a moment before her eyes narrowed dangerously. "Oh, oh I see." She snatched the paper back from Eugene with a huff. "What, are you afraid I'll win and show you both that I'm more capable than you think I am?" "No no no, Blondie, that is definitely not what I'm worried about--" Eugene yelped as Rapunzel pushed past him and Lance with a scoff. Eugene wheezed. "Why am I always surprised by how strong she is?”

Lance shrugged, and the both of them hurried to catch Rapunzel as she marched off toward the arena. When she heard them coming she adjusted her collar with a huff. "What's so scary about this Cassandra girl anyway?" 

Eugene opened his mouth to reply, but was cut off by a scream and the shadow of something big descending upon them. Eugene grabbed Rapunzel and dashed to the side, but Lance wasn't so lucky. He shrieked as a hundred and seventy pounds of cowboy landed directly on top of him with a massive thud, sending them both hurtling to the ground. Eugene gawped at the scene. "What the--"

"How's it feel to get your ass kicked again, McConnell?" A woman of far too much stature to be human was leaning easily on the six-foot railing, eyes glittering from behind a wall of whirling dust. Eugene swallowed thickly and backed away from the fence. The raging dust cloud kicked up by the commotion cleared lazily, slowly revealing the mare herself-- harsh angles gleaming in the sun and muscles quivering with murderous intent. The cowboy took a deep, gasping breath as he shakily stood. "Fuck you, Cass," he grumbled, weakly raising his left fist to flip her off. Cassandra blinked at him slowly, letting the silence hang for a second, and then turned faster than Eugene could blink. The newly-settled dust tore up into the air as Cassandra kicked out, quick as a viper and even more vicious. The cowboy yelped and scooped his hat off the ground, hurriedly disappearing behind a maze of temporary corrals and leaving a few flustered roping horses in his wake. Cassandra didn't stop to see him off, instead charging right back to the chute and calling out for another practice run. There wasn't a drop of sweat on her body. "I'm fine, in case anyone was worried," Lance called out wearily. He still hadn't moved from the ground.

Eugene snorted and started toward his friend, but was suddenly aware of Rapunzel imperiously making her way toward the fence. She leaned forward and grasped the rail, eyes wide and mesmerized. Eugene hurried to grab her shoulders, hoping now she would see reason. "So, Blondie, do you see now why I think you should reconsider--" "She's--" "Terrifying, I know--" "beautiful." "ah-- pardon?" Eugene paused mid-breath, staring down at Rapunzel. Her eyes were sparkling, and a maniacal grin was rapidly spreading across her face. "Eugene look at her, she's incredible!" Eugene gawked at her, finally managing to shut his jaw after a few moments. "I'm sorry, did you not see the grown man get viciously thrown over the railing?!" "Oh no, I saw." Rapunzel's eyes never left Cassandra as she flew out of the chute with a new brave dumbass, throwing him in seconds with a flying kick that Eugene couldn't believe hadn't snapped her spine in half. The fire in Rapunzel's eyes only burned brighter. "This is going to be the challenge of a lifetime."

Steel and Silk 🗡🌙☀

(Inspired by "Start a War" by Klergy + Valerie Broussard. Was going to be a plain sketch because I'm behind, but I decided to experiment with the painting style!)

Freedom and Growth 💕🌱

The prompt reminded me of Rapunzel Day One, so I went off of that!
