The best thing about Wildhorn musicals is that you can just take the songs and make up your own plot to go with them SO after listening to the Scarlet Pimpernel again-- I’ve decided that Chauvelin is Marguerite’s secret alter ego, in the same way the Pimpernel is Percy’s! The story is secretly an enemies-to-lovers romance between The Scarlet Percy/Pimpernel and Marguerite/Chauvelin where they gradually realize the other Has A Point(tm)! It’s like a batman and catwoman dynamic
#the scarlet pimpernel#I feel like if i saw the full musical it'd explain what chauvelin did wrong#but like#currently?#not sure what chauvelin did wrong#apparently the musical ends with the heroes abandoning Chauvelin to die at the guillotine#which does sorta make them seem like hypocrites?#i thought they were against killing people with a guillotine. i guess it's only rich people#but yeah in my fanfic version Chauvelin survives#and it's an enemies to lovers Both Sides(tm) story#the scarlet pimpernel/percy x marguerite chauvelin#like im also ignoring history but i think it's more fun this way
