I was listening to "mother knows best" and HOLY SHIT it's perfect for Overprotective Dimitri trying to keep Right at the Wall. Now I want a Tangled Inspired version of the AU with Henry as Flynn (Rightmin) and Reginald as a sort of replacement father figure once Dimitri is out of the picture. Maybe throw Ellie in there as Pascal as Right's only friend at the Wall. Until Henry comes along that is. (Then Ellie is his wing man because these boys are hopeless romantics)
Right was told that the Wall was the safest place for him, that his ability to heal wounds and his long red hair made him an outcast. And for the longest time, Right believed everything his father, Dmitri, told him about the outside world. After all, the Wall was the only place he knew.
But as Right grew older, his interest of the outside world grew, especially stories his only friend, Ellie, told him. While Ellie was a prisoner, she snuck out of her cell often to talk with Right, getting to know the Warden's son more and telling him of her adventures stealing cars and setting fires to corrupt Government establishments.
Right wasn't so keen on the arson parts, but was always fascinated with how vast the world was.
But Right was a prisoner in his own room, only a window that was next to the rocky cliffs as his only source of outside light. Even if Right wanted to leave, he had no way to.
Untill one day, a silver hair man fell from the vent, changing all their lives forever.
---
The man's name was Henry Stickmin, a thief that was here on an undercover mission to rescue his fellow Toppats that were trapped in the Wall. The mission was successful, but Henry had to choose a different escape plan, one that came with a weight limit.
Henry looked around the room abit before seeing the window and then seeing Right's long hair and a metal support beam.
Henry started braiding Right's long hair while explaining that they can use the hair as a rope, looping it around the support beam and shimming down the window to safety.
Right felt a hope burning in his soul, a chance for escape, to see the world. So Right agreed, gathering a few supplies that could help before Henry was ready to go.
Going down the side of the Wall was quicker then what Right imagined, with Henry being able to retrieve Right's hair and bundle it to a more manageable, tighter braid.
Henry and Right had to run through the docks, dealing with Wall guards trying to capture them.
Unlucky for the Wall guards, Ellie came to the rescue with a stop sign, grabbing the two men and throwing them into the nearby SS Annie.

The ship was empty of its crew mates and Ellie had started work on hot wiring the boat. Things were looking up for the trio.
And then a gunshot shot nearby, with Warden Dmitri now on the boat, very pissed off.
Right told his father that he was leaving, that he wanted to see the world and get to know his friends more. Dmitri laughed and threw a hat and blanket at Right, telling his son that the only reason Henry wanted to save him was because of his magic and link to the Toppats.
Henry spoke up, saying that he had no idea on either of those things and literally only found Right because the vent gave out. Henry didn't even know Right's name untill he asked him.
Dmitri tried speak up, but Right told him to stop, that it was clear that Dmitri had been lying about alot of things in Right's life and now he wanted to leave more then ever.
Dmitri aimed his gun at Henry, and in one pull of the trigger, a loud bang was heard.
But Henry wasn't the one shot.
Dmitri dropped his gun as his shirt slowly drenched with crimson. Dmitri collapsed, revealing one Reginald Copperbottom to be the culprit.
Reginald felt tears prick his eyes as he got closer to Right, revealing a locket with a picture of a younger Reginald holding a small baby with almost glowing red hair, just like Right.
Reginald hugged Right, sobbing that he had been looking for him ever since he was kidnapped as a baby, that he was so grateful to of finally found his precious son back.
Henry dumped Dmitri's body as the four of them went outside to see the parked Airship on the water. Apparently the Toppats that Henry rescued were worried about Henry so Reginald decided to bring the Airship as backup.

The next few months were hectic, but in a good way. Right got to cut his hair, severally limiting his magic but getting to cut away at his old life. He and Reginald caught up, with Right finding his real dad amazing. And Right was shown many places and treasures of the world, and knowing that there was far more out there and all the time in the world.
Henry and Right found themselves being fast friends, and within a few months the two of them started to have feelings for each other.
But neither one had been in a relationship before and were clueless on how to even ask the other out. Thankfully, Ellie came to the rescue, and after a bit of shenanigans, Henry and Right started dating.
And the Wall never found Dmitri, but found bits of dust in the ocean. From what Grigori gathered, Dmitri was far older then he looked and was using Right's magical hair to keep himself young. Since Dmitri hadn't used the magic in awhile, even if the Toppats didn't get involved, he would of turned to dust.
