Arianna allowed Eugene to go ahead of her, she had no idea what awaited her.

When they walked into the glen, the tower loomed above them. Arianna’s breath caught in her throat, to live in such a high place for eighteen years, never to feel the grass below. She couldn’t imagine.

“Alright, how do we get inside?”

     𝐇𝐄'𝐒 𝐔𝐍𝐄𝐀𝐒𝐘 𝐀𝐁𝐎𝐔𝐓 𝐖𝐇𝐀𝐓'𝐒 𝐓𝐎 𝐂𝐎𝐌𝐄,        what the queen is going to see and what she might think of her daughter’s early life.     To know someone you held so dear was forced to live in captivity,     loving by appearance yet so unbearably cruel.     He hadn’t known gothel in person,     [  except the very brief meeting with a welcoming blade  ],     but he hated her as though he had,     for everything she put Rapunzel through all these years.     But to the princess’ credit,     she managed to find beauty even in her limited life,     Eugene would make sure to assure her mother that she wasn’t miserable all the while.

      The sight of the tower isn’t as pleasant as the first time he had seen it,     for all that crossed his mind was the terror he carried while he rode with max to find her again.     He took a deep inhale,     pushing the memory to the back of his mind for the time being to lead the queen inside.        ❝   There’s a hidden passage.   ❞        he told her and proceeded to find hidden door slightly ajar from when he last left the tower with Rapunzel,     a little stubborn to pull open from lack of use but he managed and began leading the way up.

Following Eugene up to secret staircase, Arianna's breath quickened, what would she see at the top of these stairs?

Eugene had been acting cagey since they arrived at the glen. What had happened here? No one liked to talk about what went on at the tower.

Arianna smiled warmly, though she did wonder why Rapunzel thought making candles and soap was fun, she wondered if that was how the kidnapper had Rapunzel spend her days, but quickly shut that train of thought down.

Don’t ask questions you don’t want the answer to, Arianna.

“That sounds lovely, what else would you like to do?” The Queen asked just happy that Rapunzel was excited.

Rapunzel wasn’t blind, she saw the little change in her mother’s gaze, wondering just what she was thinking. Maybe candle making wasn’t something she wanted to do. She ran her hand through her hair so she wondered before realising what she always wanted to do with a parent; “We could always go on a ride and pick some fresh ingredients” she suggested, fidgeting a little with her dress. 

“I’d like to learn the recipes passed down through mothers” 

[sundropsaved-a]

Arianna lit up.

"That sounds like a wonderful idea, Darling. I learned to cook when I was not much older than you. And you must teach me your recipes, I would be honored!"

“I apologize for those rude comments.” Arianna said as they walked to the garden.

“Trust me, that servant will be talked to.” It was a first offense, but if it happened again, Arianna would see that the servant was fired.

“You deserve respect, Eugene.”

     𝐏𝐄𝐑𝐇𝐀𝐏𝐒 𝐄𝐔𝐆𝐄𝐍𝐄 𝐃𝐈𝐃,     𝐖𝐇𝐀𝐓 𝐀𝐁𝐎𝐔𝐓 𝐅𝐋𝐘𝐍𝐍 ?        He frowned at the thought but held his tongue from voicing it.     He knew where he stood with the townspeople,     he knew he had a long way ahead of him if he wanted to gain their trust completely.     He wouldn’t be bothered if it never happened,     if the glares kept fixing on him whenever he passed.     He was a thief once,     a proud one too,     he committed awful things he’s yet to forgive in himself,      and might never will.     He knew the fault of his actions,     and the consequences he must bare in result.     No one had to get dragged into it for a grudge their more than rightful to bare.

        ❝   There’s no need,     your majesty.   ❞        he assured with a kind smile and a shake of his head.        ❝   I pulled some nasty tricks on him and the guards as Flynn Rider,     so I don’t really blame anyone if they’re still mad about it.     I’m not proud of it,     but he shouldn’t get the fall for it,     he was just doing his job.   ❞

[sundropsaved-a]

Arianna wanted to argue, but thought better of it.

"As you wish, Eugene." She said instead, as they approached the gazebo.

"Take a seat, I'll ring for some tea."

This was weird. It was weird, right? It felt weird.

In the heat of the moment yesterday, it had been so exhilarating. Seeing Queen Arianna face to face, it was like looking in a mirror. She had a mom, a real mom, one who loved her. Who wouldn't constantly lie to and belittle her, but who was kind, understanding, all the things a mother was apparently meant to be.

And Rapunzel didn't know the first thing about her.

Even that instant recognition and relief from their first meeting wasn't enough to overpower the awkwardness. She spent so much time in the tower doting on her "mother", and here was someone who deserved it so much more— but she was practically a stranger! What if she messed up, made a fool of herself? Or worse, what if her awkwardness made her think Rapunzel didn't like her? They had only just been brought together, she couldn't let them be torn apart so soon!

So, instead, Rapunzel sidled up to her unsuspecting mother, stopping herself at the last minute from giving a surprise hug. "Hi, Mom!" Overly cheery, almost forced— she had to make a good impression. She had to. "It's, uh, really big in here! I almost got lost just trying to find the bathroom this morning. Nothing like the tower." This was going well. "Sooo, how are you?"

[sundropsaved-a]

Arianna turned at her daughter's voice.

"Good morning, Rapunzel." the queen said with a warm and inviting smile.

"I am well, did you sleep alright, I know it's hard to sleep in a unfamiliar place sometimes." I grieved her that her own child was a stranger to her. But now was the time to get to know and learn about the child she had missed these long eighteen years.

@sundropsaved​ said: “  i’ve polished this anger and now it’s a knife.  ”

there is no effort made to look at all invested in what is being said to ( at ) her. no one who has come to her in her cell has said anything unexpected, they have not been looking for a conversation, simply someone to point fingers at and ramble on to. they want her to bend, to appease, to beg for forgiveness and grovel with apology after apology for what she’d done. but all they will be met with is a brick wall of apathy and resentment. she will not give them the satisfaction of giving up her dignity for their closure.

head tips to the side, curls swaying with the movement, and eyes look the queen up and down with scrutiny.

“and what am i to do with that? is this a warning, your majesty?”

[sundropsaved-a]

"You stole my daughter, my only child. This is no warning, it is a threat!"

If Arianna had her way she would kill the witch with her bare hands here and now, but there was the law to consider, Gothel had to go through a trial and sentencing before she would meet her fate.

"Rapunzel begs for mercy, but as far as I can see you deserve none. You have no heart and despite what my daughter believes, you have never loved her."

“Ah, that was one of my favorites as a girl,” Arianna said with a smile.

“What do you think of it?” They hadn’t talked much of what Rapunzel’s life was like in the tower, and Arianna wondered what kinds of books Rapunzel liked to read?

Rapunzel’s eyes lit up at fact, imagine out of all the books she could have picked she chose one of her mum’s favourites. “Really?” she smiled brightly, looking down at the book with new love for it, “I just want the best for him” Rapunzel spoke, looking at the black horse on the cover. 

“Do you have other books you liked? I’ll read them after this” the excitement clear in her tone as she thought about sharing something with her. 

[sundropsaved-a]

"Oh, I loved so many as a girl, I shall make you a list." Arianna said with a warm smile. Rapunzel's excitement was infectious.

"What books do you like to read, dearest?"

Tears welled up in Arianna’s eyes, and before she realized what she was doing, she had her arms around Cassandra, holding her as close as she would her own daughter.

“Thank you, Sweetling.” The queen said emotion thick in her voice.

Cassandra, despite all her initial resistance, leaned into the hug, into Arianna’s body. She wanted to be strong, wanted to be independent, wanted to be the grown up her mother expected… but in truth, she was still very little, and it had been a very long day. So as hard as she tried to fight it, the darkness of the room and the warmth of being held— a treat she rarely got nowadays— were lulling her to sleep, eyes already half lidded and fluttering.

Maybe when she woke up, this would all be a bad dream.

[sundropsaved-a]

Arianna could not bare to part with the girl in her arms as Cassandra fell asleep.

Abandoning the window seat, the queen carried the child to the rocking chair and gently rocked them, to keep the girl asleep. Cassandra was so small, much smaller than a child her age should be. Come the morning, Arianna would see that the girl was fed and well looked after.

But for now, both queen and child remained in the rocking chair until first light.

Wishing on a star, Arianna didn’t have to ask what the child wished for, she had a feeling she knew.

“May I wish with you?” The Queen asked, she hadn’t wished on stars since she was a girl, and right now, it couldn’t hurt.

Gazing up at the stars, Arianna knelt next to the child and clasped her hands as Cassandra did.

Please, let my baby return safely to me, and watch out for the little girl beside me. Arianna thought with all her might.

She wanted to wish, too? Cassandra thought grown ups didn’t do silly things like that. That was what her mother said, scolding her for being childish. But… it made her feel better, to watch the stars and think there might be magic in them.

And maybe that was what this woman wanted, too— comfort. Maybe she’d lost someone, too.

“I hope your wish comes true.” Her voice was quiet, barely a whisper, as if it was a secret, but her face held earnestness. Still no smile… but perhaps not as cold and guarded as she had been.

[sundropsaved-a]

Tears welled up in Arianna's eyes, and before she realized what she was doing, she had her arms around Cassandra, holding her as close as she would her own daughter.

"Thank you, Sweetling." The queen said emotion thick in her voice.

❛  it’s alright. i mean , i’m used to it.  ❜ @amulettrapped

"I'm still adjusting to it myself," Arianna admitted. As she watched Rapunzel and the younger of the two Avalorian princesses talking excitedly.

"It's odd, having them back, isn't it?"

[sundropsaved-a]

The moment she had heard of Princess Fiona of Far, Far Away being locked away in a tower of all things, Arianna dispatched two letters to her parents, scolding them. Then took off to the poor child's tower, the poor thing was probably terrified and alone.

After slaying the dragon, the queen entered the child's abode. This tower, it reminded her too much of Rapunzel's.

"Princess Fiona, Dear Child, are you alright?"

[waitlifted]

sundropsaved​:

She watched the child curled up by the window, hands clasped tightly before her, as if at prayer.

Gently, Arianna reached out and petted the girl’s dark curls.

“What are you praying for, dear?” The queen asked, sitting besides her.

The woman, her Not Mother, had followed her to the window. The touch on her head reminded her of nights in the cabin, of her mother gently brushing her hair for her. She hadn’t done it in a bit, and her hair was getting messy; apparently Cassandra was supposed to learn to do it herself now.

“Praying…?” It wasn’t a word she’d heard before, back in the cabin. Her mother never taught her that one. “I’m wishing. On a star.” She pointed up and out the window, towards the brightest star on the horizon.

[sundropsaved-a]

“Of course I am, Max will take good care of me,” Arianna gave Rapunzel a squeeze of reassurance. She hadn’t been to Arendelle in so long, a part of her wanted to take Rapunzel with her, but it was probably for the best Arianna went alone.

“I’ll write everyday. I promise.”

At least there was that. She could count on Maximus. He wouldn’t stand for any bad thing to happen to the queen, to her mum. “Deal” she spoke, though still not happy about saying goodbye to her mum, “And I’ll write to let you know everything happening here! Have fun mum, you deserve a break” she smiled, leaning in to kiss her cheek. 

[sundropsaved-a]

"Oh, I'm going to miss you, Sunbeam." Arianna said giving Rapunzel one last hug. She almost didn't want to let go, but forced herself to release Rapunzel.

"I'll be home before you know it, I love you."

“I think he’ll manage, you’ll have to give him his own day, once I’ve told him all about mine.” Arianna said with a wink. Her child that she had so wanted, actually wanted to spend time with her, and she was not going to pass this up.

“Of course! I just have to figure out what he wants to do” she added with a shy laugh, her father was a little harder to read than her mum, “I’ll go into the market today and get some supplies and we can make some candles and soap” she decided. It was fun, she doubted her mum had ever tried it before, and she could keep and use her creation. 

[sundropsaved-a]

Arianna smiled warmly, though she did wonder why Rapunzel thought making candles and soap was fun, she wondered if that was how the kidnapper had Rapunzel spend her days, but quickly shut that train of thought down.

Don't ask questions you don't want the answer to, Arianna.

"That sounds lovely, what else would you like to do?" The Queen asked just happy that Rapunzel was excited.
