I just remembered that Snow White and Rapunzel both needed true loves kiss to break whatever curse they had so; (With there only having 1 reader/darling)
One of Ivory's thralls sending you a letter begging you to help them break the curse left upon the vampire king, it says he's already asleep and within 24 hours he'll die and stay dead permanently (he added that because he technically cannot die anymore because you know, vampire right?). So he asks you to come to his kingdom to save him.
You go to Maleficus to ask him to bring you to Ivory so you could 'save' him, either because you love him, or because you know how annoying it would be to have him whine to you for not 'saving' him. Lilian hears of this and cries to Maleficus to not do it for he does not want that bloodthirsty harlot (he used a kinder word instead of this) to get you.
Maleficus instead teleported Ivory to Lilian's kingdom, who is NOT asleep as he said he was. The big fat liar is kissing a painting of you to prepare for his inevitable true loves kiss. Lilian sees this and fights Ivory, verbally of course, as he does not want to touch a hair on his filthy undead rival.
Severin is somehow roped into this and is teleported alongside Ivory, Maleficus pulls him aside for a drink though and they got to talking — they're quite good friends and Severin likes to learn magic from Mal.
Ivory and Mal heard you approach first to which Maleficus warned Lilian about after seeing Ivory drop to the floor 'asleep', Lilian laid down the second he got warned.
You step inside to see Mal and Sev drinking tea in the corner while Lilian and Ivory is in the middle of the room 'asleep'. Truly the dumb and dumber duo.
"It seems like the sleeping beauty has also contracted this... curse upon him, perhaps you should also administer true loves kiss upon him, hm?" Maleficus mused, as if he did not do it 20 years ago but okay old man.
Severin merely took a sip from his cup, but his eyes did not stray from your form, even as you approach the blonde prince, reading up to kiss him. You lean down, breath hitting Lilian's cheek as you drew closer and closer upon his lips, his heart fluttering but his face shows no changes, willing his blush to stand down as to not alarm you of his healthy constitution.
You are mere inches from his lips before Ivory grabs your cheek to stop you as he slaps Lilian awake, "This piece of wheat is lying!! He's not asleep!!! He has like, 1 year before his curse starts! We don't even know if the curse is real!"
"You weren't cursed either, you were kissing their portrait and dropped like a corpse as soon as you heard them approach you stupid bat!" Lilian retaliated, grabbing Ivory's hair.
You are then gently carried by Maleficus back to their table, settling you upon his lap as Severin hand feeds you pastries, Mal licks the cream from your lips when Severin 'accidentally' spilled some. Though Severin normally wouldn't be as affectionate, when you are surrounded by beings that are smitten with you as he is, he has to step up and show his affection regardless of his reputation. He respects Mal enough to not be jealous of him being affectionate with you.
Seems like Ivory's schemes did not succeed in this one, and the only ones truly winning is you and the 2 kings. Poor Lilian though, he got cockblocked again, but this time by his dumb rival.
(I swear I had a post about the dynamic between the four them and I was trying to find it to see what past me had in mind to write this HELP)
