MY RAREPAIRS...I CAN'T SEE WITHOUT MY RAREPAIRS...

[hellishchrissy]

"driving in your car, oh, please don't drop me home."

in large looping cursive, Chrissy had written four words in the center in fine blank ink: "don't sell yourself short." - C.C.

Inspired by the fic "there is a light that never goes out" by @pearlypairings <3

✨Photocheer Princess Diaries AU ✨

THIS AU IS GENIUS EMPRESSS~

Okay, so....

I think Jonathan would have to be Mia/the secret heir to the Genovian throne. Our outcast emo boy with an eccentric single mom? Works perfectly here~ he'd get a little style makeover (a proper haircut at least lol)!

Chrissy would be his best friend's twin sister, whose been totally crushing on him in secret for years. He's completely oblivious to it because she seems like she'd only be into preppier things since she's in cheer and loves pop music. But she loves his down to earthness, his art, and the way he talks about the world needing change.

Jonathan would really struggle with the transition toward his royal lessons. Having lived on the line of poverty most of his life, the frivolity of these etiquette rules seem ridiculous and out-of-touch with how real people live. This tension would come to a head with his grandmother (Has to still be Julie Andrew bc she's an actual queen, sorry lol) and they'd argue over its relevance.

Joe, the security guard, would still be very paternal and protective of Jonathan. I think it would be actually lovely for him to finally have that male figurehead look out for him rather than always being the responsible one.

annnnd finally back to the romance, Jonathan would have had a minor crush on Carol. Once it gets out there that he's a prince, all the relationship dynamics would shift! He'd have to sacrifice time he'd normally spend with his bestfriend and Chrissy for lessons and events, but also be tempted when his own crush starts inviting him out to parties he's never been invited to before. Carol takes advantage of his position to kiss him on camera for her 15 minutes of fame, upsetting Chrissy and disappointing his grandmother. In the midst of deciding whether or not to renounce his title, he ultimately persuades his grandmother that their country needs royalty that can understand them and relate to them and they host a ball in his honor where he invites the Cunninghams with a sincere apology. Eventually Chrissy does show in a stunning gown where they dance together and escape to a little garden and have a confessional heart to heart about their feelings for each other:))

omg I'm so tempted to smoothen these details out empress....what have you done........

send me a ship and an au

prompt

Jonathan Byers has been encouraged to expand his photography portfolio. His teacher sets him homework to try his hand at portraits (an area he’s not explored much given his shy nature - and that kind of photography requires connection). 

He worries all weekend about who to ask… and then bumps right into Queen Bee Chrissy Cunningham who’s always been so nice and friendly to him. She’s beautiful too and his fingers itch to capture that million dollar smile.

She blushes bright pink when he asks her to model for him. He's about to apologise when she says yes...yes, of course she'll help him. She trusts him.

She agrees and they work at it for an hour in the studio. They (both) find themselves opening up and he even makes her laugh. He keeps his eyes on her face through the lens and she bravely meets his gaze. To his surprise, Chrissy then suggests something more… daring. 

She wants to pose for him. She wants to lose herself.
