#queen's maid

From Maid to Queen - By Woo su bin (8/10)

The King won't let her die. The yandere in this case is a villain and a loser. A man with too much power, who cannot accept the fact that he is not the right man for the woman he adores. He doesn't let go. She dies dozens of times. He keeps bringing her back, but he grows tired. He gives up on her, and in that life she thrives. She finds love.

​​Urania was a fool. She played around with the King. King Kraus the third isn't the strongest King, but the country is rich. ​​Urania is a mere maid. No special backstory. No magic. Kraus fell for her when he showed her his secret magic, and she wasn't afraid. Wizards are feared as pagan curse-bearers in this universe. Young ​​Urania forgot about her magic friend. She forgot about Kraus, but he remembered her.

She foolishly, foolishly took the chance. The chance to be wealthy, lazy and spoiled. Kraus spoiled her utterly. He made her his concubine right away, without any real dating. When he saw her all grown up and pretty he realized he adored her, even if she didn't feel as strongly for him. He accepted all of her selfishness. He seemed aware that her love wasn't that deep...but he indulged her anyway.........and she died.

The Queen killed her.

Queen Stacia is the perfect woman for Kraus. He does not deserve her. She loves him obsessively. I'm not saying she is a perfect person, but she knows how to run a country. Her unconditional love made her strong, but she never had a child. Why? Kraus denied her. You see, he's been creepily in love with ​​Urania the maid since his childhood. He loves Stacia....like a sister. Stacia loves him as her husband. She never cheated. She worked hard. She did ALL of the work when Kraus was busy lavishing​​Urania with presents. If Kraus was just a little reasonable. If he gave his wife SOME of his time, ​​Urania would not have died. Alas, Kraus is even more obsessive than his wife. He did not give Stacia a royal heir because of his obsession. She did not cheat or force him to get one, so the country was in trouble.

Stacia did what she had to do.

She got rid of ​​Urania, in an attempt to fix the future. She was also jealous of course, but literally if ​​Urania did not exist her life would be perfect.

Kraus admits that Stacia is an exemplary queen many times, and he feels platonic love for her. But, oops he loves ​​Urania the maid...so he rejects her and treats her like a sibling.

​​Urania was a total fool. She had no clue about any of this before her death.

A mysterious light gives ​​Urania another chance. She wakes up in her ugly maid outfit with no money. With memories of being executed thanks to Stacia's meddlesome teason accusations. ​​Urania is not special. The only thing she has in life is the love of the King.

She plans to seduce him again.

It doesn't work, but the Queen still hates her.

Why? Well her attempts to seduce the King are obvious and tacky this time. Also, he's not taking the bait??? The obsessed boy who refused to lie with his own wife for her seems to be no more???

(By the way Urania really never learns the depth of his obsession. He ignores her in this life because he's trying to give up on her, as she has already died too many times. He's mentally broken...)

Urania is screwed. The Queen has told the other maids to kill her off, because of her sad attempts at flirting.

She runs into Oscar. A minister with a low noble title. He's of common blood (not really there's a secret deposed magical royal family but the point is he had to start from the bottom. No family. No money.)

Oscar is a hard, strict, excellent teacher.

She hides from the maids with him, and she begs for his help.

He tells her to fake her own death. If she can do that he will take her on as his assistant.

Urania proves she has a brain, and he takes her in as promised. She gets a magic potion to blur her face, and her new life begins.

She starts to feel disgusted by her past self. She's grateful for the light that gave her another chance (she doesn’t know the light is Kraus).

Oscar shows her how to weild a blade.

She no longer needs to be saved...as much.

She makes friends.

She's stops being snobby to people who want her to improve. When she was Kraus's only beloved concubine she consistently ignored good advice, and she became dumber than a rock.

Oscar makes her want to be more.

Kraus starts to make her downright uncomfortable.

She becomes a government official on her own merit. ​​Urania was always smart, but as a common maid she wasn't allowed to grow.

She loves to grow.

Kraus starts to flirt and distract her...or he tries.

​​Urania really never loved him. As soon as she doesn’t need his money she has no interest. Kraus realllllyyyy should try to love his loyal and gorgeous wife but whatever I guess...

Oscar wins her with pure sincerity. It's sweet and goofy and ridiculous and they continue to grow as politicians together. I won't go into too much detail but Oscar is a loyal sap, and ​​Urania falls in love for the first time.

She wants to make Oscar more successful. Better. She doesn't just want his money. It's great.

Oscar and ​​Urania become lovers. Very pure and trusting lovers. Kraus isn't even a temptation. ​​Urania doesn't actually like him on a personal level. She just thinks he's an ok king. Kraus forces her to become his personal aid. Then he brings her to a special religious ceremony that involves gold light.

Kraus doesn't stop.

It gets less and less funny.

The truth comes out.

​​Urania is disgusted. Kraus killed countless people to bring her back, over and over.

Kraus doesn't think it matters, because it's time magic. All of the people who die by his sword come back too.

This issue is...obviously...the King became more evil with every cycle. Now he's basically a God that kills everybody when things aren't going his way.

He even turns on Stacia. The woman who supported him back when he was a weak King in his first life. Kraus is overpowered now, but in the beginning he was kinda a shitty King (that secretly had magic). Most people use magic stones, so nobody suspected that Kraus was the real deal. He claims he was obsessed with ​​Urania because she didn’t fear him, but magic is pretty normal in this universe. He's just a wackjob who cheated on his fiance emotionally and physically after a maid thanked him???

It gets even worse.

Kraus chases Oscar and his own wife out of the palace, because he's nearly impossible to beat. After a couple dozen lives he's unnaturally smart and ruthless.

He forces ​​Urania into the position of Queen...even though she's pregnant and it's Oscar's baby. He says he will accept the child because he'll do anything to finally have a life with ​​Urania...

​​Urania, of course, plans to overthrow him with Oscar. He's also secretly magical how convenient. ​​Urania promises to return to Oscar someday, and he trusts her!!! He trusts her because their relationship is really great and they're in love. He's also kinda obsessed with her but he has morals. So it's fine.

It's painful to watch ​​Urania sit by Kraus as his Queen. He is a splendidly crazy villain.

He was going to give up on ​​Urania, but then she fell in love with somebody else.

So, everyone must suffer.

I’m absolutely outraged. The high retweet/like count implies OP doesn’t intend to go through with it. What cowardice. I’ll do it for free.

Oh my fairy godmother I am so happy you are post about Ever After High!!! Do you have any fanfic or au ideas involving them? Like, what if one character had another destiny or what if they were in the Star Wars universe?! It’s just interesting to think about!

Hey! Glad to see we share another fandom interest!

So, I have this barebones post for what I would have done as a crossover between g1 Monster High and Ever After High.

As for general fanfic ideas I have a few. I shall now list them in varying levels of detail:

1. A Very Charming Groundhog Day Year:

Basically, the Charming siblings time loop back from a bit after Dragon Games but before Epic Winter to the day before the school year started (the day of the Family Ball in the books). While it would be kinda angsty, the best time loop fics are usually crack fics, and this would be no exception (if I ever wrote any of these things).

So Daring, Dexter, and Darling are all initially in states of panic and anxiety. Daring, he was in the middle of a quarter-life crisis and now has to deal with everyone and their fairy godmother thinking he's Apple's Prince Charming.

"Daring Charming, more like Distressed Charming, am I right?"-- Dexter, who should get to exhibit asshole little brother energy more often, as a treat.

Speaking of Dexter, he's panicking cause of all the awful stuff that's going to happen during the school year and also because now he has to go through the nerve-racking ordeal of asking out the girl he likes all over again.

Darling's in hell because everyone and their fairy godmother expect her to be this perfect little damsel, again, which is just- ugh. There are days she wishes she could carry her sword around with her, and they're most days. Also, she never got to talk to Apple about their True Love's CPR, which is just tragic.

The loops go on for a while, some constants in them include: Darling freeing herself and helping little Good-Enough Charming get one of their grandfather's trophies for the scavenger hunt, Dexter and Darling teaming up to kill the changeling and free cousin Charity (sometimes Daring helps but he's content to let his siblings have fun for once), Darling accidentally on purpose flirting with Apple and Apple experiencing several degrees of gay panic, Dexter fumbling asking out Raven for the first time (he's really such a dork, just a funky dude), and the Charming Siblings teaming up to make Milton Grimm's life a living hell.

In one loop they secretly film him playing with his toy unicorns and his action figure of himself and they hijack Blondie's mirrorcast to play it to the entire school.

After several loops a Monster High crossover happens, and so in every loop after that the Charming sibs, who have grown incredibly gremlin-like after experiencing the insanity of the school several dozen times, make sure to drop monster slang when it's just them and Cupid. Like:

Darling: "Wow, Cupid, that top looks clawsome."

Daring: "Totally, it's freaky fierce."

Cupid: "What?!"

Darling: "That top looks nice on you. Anyway, we gotta run."

Dexter: "Yeah, see you later ghoulfriend!"

I have some other half-baked ideas for this one but it'd probably be it's own post.

2. Murdoch Mysteries-ish AU:

This one makes no sense if you've never watched the hit Canadian Detective Show, Murdoch Mysteries. Or maybe it makes some sense, idk. Instead of a modern AU, we have a 1895 detective AU. It's barely an idea, I have no idea if I'd even keep this in the fantasy setting of (an 1895) Ever After or not.

Dexter is the Detective William Murdoch of this AU, the man with no game and beautiful blue eyes who women keep inexplicably falling in love with. He's observant and a little strange but he's also a brilliant detective. One of the major differences though is Dexter is the disowned son of old money parents.

Raven's the Dr. Julia Ogden, the outspoken, independent, and compassionate coroner helping solve cases and being amazing. Her rich, controlling mother doesn't much approve of her life choices but old Mrs. Queen can suck it. Raven and Detective Charming have a clearly mutual attraction but they're both hesitant to act on it cause what's a romance without a good slow-burn.

Hopper's the Constable George Crabtree of this AU. Listen, the everyday George matches Hopper's human side, and writer George matches Hopper's frog side. I will not elaborate, because I really cannot. Just feel the vibes, cause the words aren't coming.

I'm not 100% sure who'd be the Inspector Brackenreid. Part of me kinda wants to make it Professor Badwolf, and then I could make Milton Grimm the asshole commissioner. Coach Gingerbreadman is the Inspector of Station 5, the rivals of Station 4.

Daring is heir to the Charming family fortune. Golden boy, everyone loves him, wants more than anything to be able to talk to his little brother in public, but their parents would disown him as well if he stepped out of line.

Apple is one of Raven's housemates at Sisters boarding house, run by Bella and Brutta Sister. She was once courted by Daring, it was at the point where people were expecting an engagement announcement any day. That's when they suddenly broke it off, with no explanation (the explanation is Daring's in love with another girl and Apple's in love with his sister). Snow White and her husband barely agreed to let her move into the boarding house, I honestly have no clue how Apple managed to pull that off but good for her.

Idk, Darling's a vigilante. She's got the same deductive genius as Dexter, she just doesn't have the same ability to join the police force. Inspector Badwolf is tired of his cops being outdone by the mysterious White Knight (yeah, yeah, I made Darling into Victorian-era Batman). Couldn't the White Knight patrol Station 5's territory? (The answer is no, because Darling really wants to catch a glimpse of her twin and also because Sisters Boarding house is in Station 4's territory and sometimes she likes to secretly crash with her girlfriend).

3. The Destiny Cycle AU (AKA: Ever After High but the Rebel Movement is an actual Rebellion AU):

What it says on the tin. Raven discovers the book is fake before Legacy Day. Her and Dexter, who in this AU is believed to be Ashlynn's future Prince Charming because someone made a good post about the potential dynamics that could cause and I love it, set out to uncover what other secrets those in charge are hiding.

Basically, in this AU Ever After is a dystopia where the Royal Families tied the survival of their dynasties' rule to their stories. Like, magically tied them. The Fates themselves have been bound by the magic of the Destiny Cycle. Ever After's Destiny-bound citizens are forced to repeat the same stories as their ancestors, all because Happily Ever After doesn't include a revolt or the institution of democracy. All stories are repeated as a precaution against anyone figuring out what the ancestors of the Royal Families did.

Taking some inspiration from the SDCC Raven Queen doll's letter from her mother, the Evil Queen discovered the truth about the Destiny Cycle, said "not my kid you bastards", and proceeded to try to break the Cycle's bonds. Her taking over other stories and cursing Wonderland was an attempt to stretch the probability bonds of the Destiny Cycle's magic to the breaking point.

Stuff's gonna go down and basically these kids know time is running out until there's a war, cause the only way to avoid being offered up as a lamb to the slaughter is to overthrow the whole system.

God, I really gotta make this into it's own post as well now. But here's a basic rundown of some stuff I'd include:

Dexter and Raven being young and in love and just all the secret romance feels

Snow White knows about the Destiny Cycle, but Apple absolutely does not know.

Apple being born blonde is a sign that the Evil Queen's schemes loosened the grip of the Destiny Cycle, at least for a moment.

Ashlynn, Hunter, Dexter, and Raven as secret rebel leaders.

The backgrounders will have actual roles dammit! (Looking at you Lawrence Bonecrusher III, aka Orc Boy).

An exploration of artificial Destiny Cycle "True Love" vs. real True Love, featuring Apple, Daring, and Darling.

C.A. Cupid, sent by her godly family to infiltrate Ever After and cure it of the Destiny Cycle, because it's interfering in the domains of the gods.

A unique Monster High crossover idea that I will elaborate on in another post.

These children absolutely end up having to kill someone and it scars them forever.

As for different destinies AUs or Star Wars AUs, I haven't really given them much thought.

I think, in a Star Wars setting (possibly Old Republic?), Raven would be a Jedi padawan descended from a long line of Sith. Instead of Mirror Prison, her mom is dead and her Force Ghost is bound to a giant, mirrorlike piece of kyber crystal. Uh, not 100% sure who her master would be.

Darling would also be a Jedi padawan, and Maid Marian would be her Master. Maid Marian gets into custody battles over this kid with this old Jedi Watchman known only as The White Knight. She'd still have her time-slowing hair flip, in this AU it's just a unique way of activating the Force Slow ability.

the “mommy issues creates writers” thing in reference to darling is so.. it’s just so. yk. so i think that queen charming was the mother that forgot her childhood dreams of being a rebel, an adventurer to be a mother, to do what’s best for her children and darling is the daughter that dared to do what her mother didn’t, break the mold. she collects stories of adventure to tell her mom so queen charming knows that she raised a child who isn’t afraid. darling writes these stories in small journal. when the journal is full, stained with dirt and ink, she’s at school. when she wrote the closing notes, it’s a night illuminated by moonlight. with the spirit of one doused in this adventure, she slipped out of school grounds to get to her castle. the journal of her life was tight her hand as she walked to her mothers room. in front of the closed, gilded door, darling placed the stained book on polished floor and knocked..
