"He’s wonderful.” Aurora agreed with a dreamy sigh, smiling at the thought of her betrothed. Her parents and his father both agreed they were much to young to be truly engaged and she was a bit disappointed, but it did make sense. Phillip may have been trained as a knight, but he had a bit to learn about being a king according to their parents. 

Shaking away the thoughts of her beloved, Aurora noticed the dazed look the little boys were giving her. She covered her smile with her hand, actually quite used to this reaction if she was pressed to admit it. “No, such handsome young men could never be naughty! I’m sure they’re like little knights in training!” Aurora insisted as she bent down a tiny bit to tease, her amusement growing as the little boys all seemed to scramble forward. 

The princess looked up when she heard Queen Elinor’s voice and her violet eyes lit up. She beamed at the redhead beside her, nodding eagerly. “That would be lovely. Perhaps tomorrow I can see the grounds?” She asked hopefully. 

[ruadhgath]

"Mm," was all Merida could reply. She didn't see the fuss about boys or men, they just didn't interest her. She didn't want to encourage her to explain what wonderful meant. She was sure she'd eventually hear more about him on Aurora's visit anyways. 

She frowned heavily at her brothers as they acted daft. They were plotting something she could feel it. Merida wished that Aurora would heed her warning, they were going to do something to the blonde princess and it wouldn't be pretty. It never was. She shook her head at them in warning, dragging her finger across her throat. She was not putting up with their antics.

She dropped her finger quickly as Aurora turned to look at her flashing a giant fake smile. "Aye," she said, "Do ye wish to start there then?" she asked, leading Aurora away from her brothers.

"Hmph. What are you staring at?”

Today was a bad day. For what felt like the thousandth time, Maleficent had failed to bring her raven companion back from the stone to which he’d been turned. On top of that, her wound was acting up, leaving her unable to stand without the help of her staff. She hated feeling helpless, powerless. Weak.

Not that she’d ever let such menail things stop her. Here she was, hobbling along with her head held high, gaze as disdainful as ever. She’s sooner jump into a vat of honey and sit in front of a bear’s cave than admit defeat. Especially in front of another person.

Slowly, carefully, she drew herself up as high as she could and stared down her nose at the intrusive presence.

[ruadhgath]

"Well I suppose I'm looking at you," Merida replied with a shrug. 

She looked over the woman in front of her, she looked different than anyone Merida had seen before. She began debating with herself whether she was a faerie or a witch. It could do either way she thought. 

"Are ye one of the wee folk?" she decided to ask, tilting her head as she looked at her. 

[noloveforabeast-deactivated2015]

When the girl squinted at him, Beast leaned down to her level and squinted right back, bright blue eyes peering curiously at her. “They sound downright evil,” he huffed, frowning over her story. “Why would you turn your mother into a bear? Turning people into animals is a terrible thing to do!” He would know. How miserable her mother must have been. Must be? After a second of thought, Beast narrowed his eyes a little more. “Is she still a bear?”

He nodded slowly in thought when she said she had heard of faeries that look like women. No, but… he was sure the woman who had come to his door had been a witch, he was sure of it. —Though he knew very little about these things in general. “I don’t think so. What about this witch you mentioned? Can she— change herself?”

[ruadhgath]

"Well I dinnae mean to turn her into a bear," she insisted. "I just asked the witch for a spell to change her because she wanted to get married and I dinnae want that. The wretched witch took that to mean bear I suppose." Merida shook her head with relief. "No, I broke the spell, thank goodness or she would have been a bear forever." 

"Oh, I am not sure if she can," she said thinking about it. She had only seen the witch the one time. "When I saw her she was this ugly old crone, with huge chin hairs." Merida wouldn't call herself an expert on witches but she knew somethings about them from experience. "I should think she could if she really wanted. She changed her woodcarver's shop into a room full of things to make spells. Although all the spells I've seen-- she just seems very fond of making people bears. She turned a prince into a bear-- he became well known as Mor'du."

Belle & Merida

ruadhgath

One of Belle’s favorite parts of cleaning day was spending time with Philippe. He had always been the kind of horse that she could talk to, and even if he never talked back, she always felt more at peace with whatever was worrying her. “I’m sure it’s nothing. He always finds his way back to town alright,” she said softly as she brushed the horse’s mane.

Maurice still hadn’t come back from a convention that took place two days ago, and Belle was beginning to worry. In fact, she was hopeful that by her being outside with Philippe today, she would be there to greet her father as soon as he approached. However, instead of her loving father, an unfamiliar redhead came into view by the peak of the day.

"May I help you?" she asked still standing next to Philippe.

[ruadhgath]

Merida had been out riding Angus, the day was bright and warm which she had wanted to take advantage of. t had been great until Angus threw a shoe. Now she was trying to get him to the nearest village to have it fixed. She spotted a house on the outskirts as she passed she noticed another draft horse like Angus in the yard. Feeling as though whoever lived here might have a good idea where she should look for a farrier she entered their yard, traveling down the path to their house. 

"Och, aye I hope ye might," she said with a smile. "My horse Angus threw his shoe and I need to get that fixed so I can go home. I was passin' through to the village and noticed ye and this lovely lad so I thought I'd stop and see if ye can give me some directions."

Jack’s eyes were wide for a moment, brows lifted. This was shaping out to be one of the wildest encounters he’d ever had. It was so- nonchalant. And as the girl seemed to brush it off, so could the captain. “Aye, it’s- it’s a name some more… Colorful people would have, if you catch my drift.” He smiled, “Nae from Tortuga though it does feel like home!” A pause, “Least… At the best of times.” He mumbled.

“I was born off the coast.” He said, “Right on a ship, miles and miles away from India.” Looking over to the princess, “Though I figure you may not know where that’d be, either?” He wasn’t poking fun, so much as he genuinely wandered what she knew of the world. 

[ruadhgath]

"No but I'll take ye word on that," she replied with a laugh. Merida narrowed her eyes slightly as she caught him repeating back the way she pronounced certain words. Was he making fun of her? "I've never heard o' the place," she shrugged. 

"Oh aye, India's the one between Europe and China," she said. She paid attention in her mother's geography lessons, some days. "That's a pretty daring trip there," she commented.

[aquatacoralsea-deactivated20150]

Aquata’s eyes opened wide when the girl mentioned shooting arrows. She wasn’t the best at knowing what human stuff was, but it ‘shooting’ and ‘arrows’ did not sound like it was a good thing. She made a mental note to be careful around this girl. She didn’t look like she would kill a mermaid, but Aquata had been raised to be weary of humans. 

"Under the water is where all the neat stuff is. Only a few things wash up on shore that are really neat." Aquata smiled. She knew that Ariel had found many human things near the shore, but the really interesting human and mer-people items could only be found near the bottom of the ocean. 

"It.. Just became popular." Aquata bit her bottom lip. "So now we like to just take advantage of it."

[ruadhgath]

"Aye but I can't go under the water that easy can I?" she asked with a laugh. "I can swim but the ocean is fairly dangerous, I'd much prefer a Loch." Merida liked the still waters of a Loch, the ocean around Scotland had too many strong currents for her liking, plus most of the shores were rocky. 

"Oh?" Merida asked. "So ye just-- strip down and lay out?" It was a strange concept and she knew that her mother would be frowning if she could hear. "What's the, uh, point? Of sun bathin'?"

[noloveforabeast-deactivated2015]

His gaze narrowed a little at that and he looked her up and down. She didn’t seem all that much younger than he was, but it was difficult to tell with these things anymore. The only reason Beast recalled his own age was due to the rose’s petals dropping, bringing him ever closer to his twenty-first birthday and the day when he would find himself trapped forever as a monster. “I suppose that’ll have to do, you growing into your growl,” he agreed.

Beast scrunched his nose up as she told him about the faeries. They sounded awful, certainly not something he would want himself to be associated with. Perhaps the woman who had cursed him had been a faerie. Perhaps he could find her and ask her to reverse the curse. Beast felt a foreign little flutter in stomach at the thought. “Well. I am not one of those things.” He considered the girl for a moment, then frowned. “Have you ever seen one that looked like a woman?” 

[ruadhgath]

Merida squinted an eye trying to decide what he was if he insisted he wasn't a faerie. She didn't know what else he could be, from her view point there was no other answer. "Well-- the ones I have seen were wisps," she replied. "There were small and blue and they led me to a witch who gave me a spell to turn my mum into a bear." 

"I've heard of ones that look like women though. Why do ye ask? Are ye lookin' for one?" She had no idea what he would be looking for a faerie like that for if he didn't know about them. 

[dirtjars-deactivated20150324]

Why he looked so- what? But before he could clarify he’d been born off coast, the girl left him… Godsmacked, more or less. “Princess.” He repeated.

“Has a nice ring to it, eh? Never met a lass outside ‘a Tortuga with a name like that.” Hopefully passing it off as a joke would earn a chuckle, if not a coincidence that he was right. Would be hard pressed to meet another princess so soon, but such was life! With how capricious travels had been of late, he wouldn’t be surprised if this girl was named princess, and actual princess, or a prankster all together.

[ruadhgath]

"Is nae a name," she said with a laugh. "It's a title what kind of daft lass is named Princess?" Merida shook her head. She hadn't heard of Tortuga before, must be some exotic land-- sailors always had good stories about new and exciting places she had never imagined before. 

She didn't think it was really funny but it wasn't something to be mad over either. She was just confused who would name their child Princess. That made absolutely no sense to Merida. She shrugged it wasn't something to dwell over. "So is that where ye are from then? Tor-- that place you just said?"

Highland games || Jim & Merida

[jimphawkins]

He was not sure what was happening, but seemed to be something big. People bumpingeach other, Jim hating it. Flags, tents, people, food, it had everything. Morph left his backpack, attracted by the smell of food “Food! Food!" It spoke and Jim grabbed it quickly. Some people glanced him in a strange way and Jim whispered to the pink blob, "Morph, stay in the backpack, okay?" He had an especial place in his backpack for Morph, in which it could see everything. But Morph was a free spirit that couldn’t be trapped for too long.

Jim kept walking, his curious blue eyes glancing at everything. Once in a while he could hear a noise coming from the backpack and knew it was Morph talking to itself about something it had seen.

The lad then noticed a crowd concentrated in a certain area. Frowning, he wondered if he should go there ou stay where he way. For Jupiter! He was so curious! He walked cautiously to the area. Oh, it was a competition. It was something with targets. He stretched to look better. It was… archery. Jim grinned. He had never tried it but admired who could shoot in the target. It seem at least he was going to have some fun.

“Cool!” He ended up saying, and Morph mimicked it. Oh, what more would this festival or whatever it was has? There was still time to sign up for something?

He stepped around, trying to find a better view. Fortunately, he found a good place. Oh! A mane of red hair caught his eyes. It was the only girl on the competition. Jim decided to root for her.

[ruadhgath]

Merida pulled back her bow taking her shots when it was her turn. All she focused on was her breathing and the target, she blocked out all the rest of the sights and sounds. She made all three of her shots on the bullseye, barely any room between the three arrows. 

She was in the moment and once she lowered her bow the sounds came rushing back to her ears and her focus was able to widen away from the target. Looking at the other targets she saw that she had made the most hits on the target, making her the winner of the archery competition. She grinned and did a quick victory dance, bouncing on her feet. 

Now though, she had to change into her nicer clothing. As she turned to head towards the tent her dress was in she found the boy she spotted earlier was in her path.

"Ye look like ye've never been to a games before," she said as she got close.

The blond was coming back to his family a bit earlier than usual that day, having decided to stop harvesting ice before the others to go buy some carrots and take a rest since Sven was tired.

People in the woods weren’t that common during the snow season, it was mostly Kristoff and some other ice harvesters that showed up, but by that time of the day all that he would normally see was hungry wolves looking for a meal, hence why he picked up a giant stick when he heard noises coming. But hearing from a bit closer (he has no idea on why he even approached in the first place, thankfully it wasn’t the wolves), he first hears a hooved animal footsteps, and then, a girl voice. After hearing a relieved sigh from Sven, he approaches without a specific reason, mostly to answer her question without having to say a word. 

He had no clue on why a girl with a horse would be there alone in the middle of an icy forest, but then again, it wasn’t much of his business either. He wasn’t one to meddle at other people affairs, after all. But perhaps she was lost or something and needed help. Who knew.

[ruadhgath]

Merida was surprised to spot a reindeer and a blonde man emerge. She was expecting-- well she wasn't sure what she was expecting but these two were not it. She took her hand off Angus who twitched his ears curiously at the both of them.

"Oh hello," she said, greeting them. "I dinnae think anyone was around. I expected some sort of beastie to pop out of the trees." Merida laughed lightly feeling relieved that it wasn't some sort of beast that came out. She could handle herself she knew but that wasn't exactly the kind of excitement she was looking for today. 

[dirtjars-deactivated20150324]

Jack had been haggling with a shopkeeper right at the moment, wanting to barter for some fresh, salted fish that the man had. He was unintelligible however, and seemed more or less confused by Jack’s accent. Made an odd bit of sense, but eventually they’d come to a mutual understanding.

   But before that could happen, a young lookin’ lass sounded from Jack’s portside. The pirate would hold up a finger to the man he was squabbling with, and look to the girl. He’d smile, wondering what would have her ask.    “An’ hello to you!” He greeted, turning his body to the girl, and giving a bow. His hat would fall off his head, but he’d catch it as he rose up. Just so happened he’d taken a liking to her hair as well. “Wild mane you got on your shoulders, eh love?” He’d smile, looking back over to the man he was talking to. He was- he was busy lowering his head and staying quiet. Weird.

   Looking back to the redhead, he chortled. “The names Jack Sparrow. Captain Jack Sparrow. I’m from the sea, it just so happens.”

[ruadhgath]

Merida shook her locks, well aware that they were the first thing a person saw. They were large and extra wild today being so close to the coast, the humidity gave her extra volume. "Och, aye, drives my mum mad," she replied with a grin. 

"From the sea? That why ye look so--?" she asked raising a brow. That wasn't an actual place to be from. People were from places like France or Scotland. No one was from the sea. "Merida Dun Broch," she introduced herself in turn echoing his own introduction mischievously. "Princess Merida Dun Broch."

♬ CHANGED MY MIND PUNK BAND MERIDA AND AURORA

♬ <—- Leave this in my ask if you want to see an AU where our characters are in a band together

"You can call me Briar." Red lips curled as she stepped into the garage where the "auditions" were being held. Tossing golden curls over her shoulder, she could tell the redhead was already writing her off, already deciding that she wasn’t going to make the cut. Aurora stood in front of the keyboard and let her slender, graceful fingers run over a few notes before turning it to a twangy pop organ. 

"So this is some eighties crap, but I have to sing it, it’s my theme song." Aurora, no, Briar grinned as she began to play hard. “I don’t give a damn about my bad reputation!” 

[ruadhgath]

Merida blew a lock of hair out of her face and crossed her legs on the table in front of her. Even with undercutting her hair it was still wild and wider than herself. Yet again a pretty blonde stood in front of her wanting to audition for her band. She groaned and looked to her band mates as she introduced herself. Oh good, an eighties theme song? Here comes the Madonna.

Her eyes widened as the girl began to sing. She had a decent voice, no more than decent, fantastic, she had the voice and she was willing to put more into the singing than just the words, there was attitude there. Maybe the song was a little cliche but she owned it and made it her own, which was exactly what they needed in a vocalist. 

She waited for Briar to finish her song before she looked at her band. Their mouths were all hanging open. Merida rolled her eyes and reached over to close Dingwall's mouth before he started drooling all over himself. 

"Aye, ye got a lovely voice there," she said leaning forward. "Would ye try one of our songs?" It was the first time all day she'd asked a potential to sing a song of her band's. "I got the sheet music fo' ye," she held out some paper for her.

The 100 AU || Audrey & Merida

☢ <—- Leave this in my ask if you want to see an AU where our characters are in a post-apocalyptic wasteland

Merida curled her lip at the sight of one of the sky people in the forest, her people's forest. They had no clue what she and her people, the grounders as they aptly called them, had been through. They were survivors and had plenty to worry about without sky people trying to take what little resources they had available. 

Drawing her bow she stepping out of the tree line in front of the approaching woman. "That's far enough," she said, eyes narrowed and arrow trained on her. "Where are the rest of your people?" Sky people never traveled alone, afraid of facing the world alone most likely.

Pirate AU || Aurora & Merida

✣ <—- Leave this in my ask if you want to see an AU where our characters are pirates together

Merida walked the deck, looking over the cargo as it came aboard. Turning she looked at the blonde girl her age, who they had found hidden away when they unloaded their cargo at this port. "Och, what were ye thinkin' lass?" she asked, no older than the other girl but Merida had earned her place here. She'd proven an excellent fighter and none of her crew objected to her run of the ship. 

She sighed, she couldn't very well just leave a beautiful girl like this on the shore in the West Indies, she'd likely get sold to a brothel and used hard there. "Well come on, we'll find ye something more appropriate to wear," she lead her towards her own cabin.
