♡ 𝐖𝐎𝐍'𝐓 𝐘𝐎𝐔 𝐃𝐈𝐄 𝐓𝐎𝐍𝐈𝐆𝐇𝐓 𝐅𝐎𝐑 𝐋𝐎𝐕𝐄?
Legend tells of a bride who was never wed, a bride, with nothing left to lose and everything to gain, whose life was snuffed from her on the happiest day of her life, never to breathe the fresh air or feel the warmth of the sun on her skin or feel the burn of a candle's flame. Deep in the old woods, beyond the broken tombstones, under the light of the moon at its peak, lies the grave of a bride who waits for her one true love, yearning in the afterlife for the day her prince will recite those matrimonial vows and take her hand in marriage. This is the tale of the Corpse Bride and her Groom, a tale of love from beyond the grave...
Chazz Princeton is the youngest and prodigal son of the esteemed Princeton family, betrothed to the youngest daughter of the Rhodes family, Alexis. Arrogant and haughty ─ held to a high standard and forced to make no mistake ─ Chazz is expected to elevate his family status and lead them to a new future. On the night of his wedding rehearsal, he stumbles into the dark woods, reciting his vows over and over until he accidentally recites his vows and proposes to the infamous Corpse Bride grave...
She doesn't remember much of where she came from or who took her life, but she knows who took her heart. Cheshire is a corpse with a love as big as her bouquet of wilted roses. Though she does not have a heartbeat, it aches for true love, for acceptance. For too long has she roamed the afterlife with nothing to make her smile or fill the void where heart once was. Not even the laughter of her best friends can soothe the phantom pain. But when she hears those precious vows above the snow-covered earth, she knows one more thing: she's been found...

junche's first au!!! i don't really like using jun's english name but i think it was better suited for corpse bride than his japanese name. plus, this au mentions his brothers (who are more prominent in the show than in the manga). either way, i'm super proud and excited about this! i literally thought about it this on my lunch today and have not stopped so i figured, fuck it, might as well make it happen. and like the movie, the ending to this story is very bittersweet
