Got into Descendants again, blame @a-e-g-g for that, and there’s a serious lack of Sea Three at Auradon!AU fics. And with that I of course mean that instead of the Core Four or whatever, Uma, Harry, and Gil got sent to Auradon during D1. Plus Freddie Facilier, just because I like her and she deserves some fun.
So anyways, The Sea Three + Freddie (I will just call them the CF, aka Sea Freddie) arrive in Auradon. Harry had to practically fight his sisters to be the one to go, Freddie was chosen over Celia since she’s older, and Gil got to go over his brothers since he’s kinder and could possibly “Put in a good word” with Belle, as his father said, and Uma is an only child so duh. It’s a bit weird for the three life long friends to have a scam artist there with them, but Freddie is too busy sorting her cards to care about them.
There’s no tension with Audrey when they arrive, Uma barely acknowledged her existence at all, or Ben’s as a matter of fact. Yeah, if you came here for some Uma X Ben thing to happen, then I’m going to disappoint ya. I can’t see Uma romantically with anyone, so yeah.
Harry is instead the one who gets it on with Ben. He flirts with him constantly (He flirts with everyone, but Ben especially), he takes him out on little adventures, and he teaches him how to spar like a pirate. Ben slowly starts to fall for him and his adventurous and impulsive ways, eventually breaking it off with Audrey when he realizes it’s more than just a crush. The two go on a date at the magical lake, and it’s sweet.
Uma’s storyline would instead be the sea. Of course they were all still sent there with the mission to get the wand and take over Auradon, and while waiting for the right time Uma spends a lot of time in the ocean. She meets fishes she’s never seen before, sea plants she’s never heard of, and even kind of befriends the mermaid Arabella, daughter of Alana and niece of Ariel.
Gil’s storyline would revolve around being himself. He’d join Tourney, because of course, but would also take many other extra curricular activities, such as textile, and baking, and embroidery. As a child everything that wasn’t “Manly” was frowned upon, but he’d always thought that was stupid. So now when given the chance, he chooses to just be. He befriends Lonnie, a girl also burdened with the expectations of her gender by society, and the two bond a lot! (Shit I might ship that now). Gil meets Beast and Belle during that parent day or whatever, and are pleasantly surprised by the polite boy.
Freddie is meanwhile vibing. She’s got access to her voodoo magic now that she’s of the isle, and she’s exploiting it like hell. Many of Auradon prep frown upon her odd antics, but some people come to her for help, one of which being Jane. Jane is magic herself, but was never allowed to use it since her mother has left it in the past. She wishes to make herself more beautiful, and Freddie does! Well as much as she can do, she fixes her hair. Yeah, in this story, Freddie is the only to start the makeover gig thing, purely for the money. Not at all because that pretty brunette was looking at her with such sweet eyes when she first confessed that she was unhappy, nope not at all (Shit I’m shipping Freddie and Jane now too what the hell).
It all eventually climaxes during the coronation, which I will be moving outside for this to work. Thing like, that boat setting in D2. Harry is right beside Ben when he’s coronated, feeling awful over knowing what he will have to do. Fortunately, Jane steals the wand instead, not only in hope of being beautiful but also in hope of connecting with her magic roots like Freddie did. Uma steals the wand, but not before it opens up a hole in the barrier, allowing Ursula to slip through.
What makes Uma turn to good is her love for the sea, and the knowledge that it would suffer under her Mother’s rule. She wants to protect her sea brethren, even if it means betraying her own blood.
Gil’s turn comes from the freedom he’s gotten from his own family, and the pressure they’ve put on him. He loves cooking, and sewing, and knitting, just as much as he loves being a pirate.
Freddie’s turn comes from seeing the tears running down Jane’s face. She’s so small, and innocent, and pure. The world needs more people like Jane, and that wouldn’t happen if their parents took over. She loves her father and sister, but she knows that freeing them and everyone on the isle would not bring upon anything good.
And Harry…Harry just wants to be with Ben. I know I haven’t talked a lot about them in this post, but Ben and Harry would truly be he core of this story. Their love wouldn’t be destiny, or fate, or anything like that. It’d be new, and random, and exciting, something that they both crave. Ben is the one who brought Harry freedom from the Isle’s barrier, but Harry is the one who brought him freedom from his own meaningless life.
Well, sweet, but oh no Ursula is here and ready to fight. This is also why we needed the water, otherwise this definitely wouldn’t work because she’s a fucking octopus thing.
Anyways, they use the wand to defeat Ursula who’s transformed into a small baby squid that Uma puts in a water filled glass jar, they all dance and stuff, but as it always goes with Descendants-
You didn’t think this was the end of the story, did you?
This was fun, I’ll probably make one for Descendants two. Let’s see how that goes tho, considering Harry is the one dating Ben, but Uma being the one who would need to go back.
Also, the reason they didn’t use a live potion on Ben or smt, is because I’ve always found that part of the story really disturbing, and it’s so weird that it’s never brought up again. So yeah, true love whoooo
And if ur wondering, yes Harry was just using Ben at first but he did eventually fall in love and stuff
