Sypnosis/What Is It About?
Flynn Schalez and Danika Renard are inseparable, even in the face of mass ignorance, and are about to tie the knot despite the end of the world dawning before them; only on their wedding day, as Danika is walking down the aisle, Flynn is abducted by her alien relatives, unevolved cousins to the shifters, and is forced to join the Ajyxli's harem on a tour of the galaxies on promise if Flynn submits to Ajyxli willingly as a member of her harem, Danika will remain unharmed as the world ends. But what does Ajyxli mean? Only time will tell.
Back to the wedding day: Danika knows her alien relatives are up to no good after seeing them abduct her fiance, and the bond between her and Flynn gives her real-time footage of him being tortured by aliens to prove that her long-lost rogue cousin Ajyxli is after Danika on a personal vendetta. With the world ending soon, she flees southbound to where she hopes the Fae can protect her with their magic, but she soon finds herself giving herself to other Fae as a means of living.
There's a saying that people change people, whether for better or worse, and Danika and Flynn are no exception to that rule.
Tropes/Good Stuff (What Should You Expect):

ıllıllı Flynn Schalez ıllıllı
Toby Regbo as Flynn Schalez
Introverted and observant 20-something-year-old trans male sorcerer, Flynn finds himself abducted by distant alien relatives of his bride-to-be on his wedding day, and with the world ending, his only hope for a future with Danika is to join the harem of Danika's distant cousin, a female alien named Ajyxli. Determined, curious and protective, he finds himself subject to Ajyxli's demands that he submit to her. He is stubborn and feels his emotions deeply. He may have an awkward cognitive delay in decision-making and tends to ponder things and overanalyze, which can get him into trouble, and while he prefers a small group of friends, deep down, he yearns to explore the world for a sense of enlightenment and find out who he truly is, whether that be the same Flynn he was before or not.
ıllıllı Danika Renard ıllıllı
Sabrina Carpenter as Danika Renard
Quick-thinking 20-some-year-old female Fusch, Danika is a natural leader with a hopeful outlook on life until her distant alien cousin Ajyxli abducts her fiancé as she walks down the aisle on her wedding. She knows what she wants, and she's looked upon the town for answers before the Elders are brought in. Born the only child of Sinope Madigan and Pepper Renard who died when she was seventeen, she became the alpha of Voss tribe as the sole surviving descendent of Therion Voss, the founder of Silver Falls. She's collected in that she wishes calmness and tranquility upon those she's tasked with handling. She's strong-willed to a point, but like anyone, she has a breaking point: being separated from Flynn. With Nash under her care, and no one to call home, she breaks free from Silver Falls, something she's yearned to do for years. But in terms of people change people, her new life in the Fae realm is a day-by-day struggle to earn a living, and to do so, she has to use her charm to lure Fae into her bed, and the psychic bond between her and Flynn only adds to her numbness in reality. However, when she brings Sebastian Akison, otherwise known as Bash, into her brothel bed, this wanted prince to the Autumn Court paints her numbness with his own pain.
Cold and calculative, Ajyxli, as leader of the main alien race, is set out for intergalactic domination as well as carrying a century's-long family vendetta against the evolution of shifters from rogue aliens. She has a harem, who lets her Council have their way with. When she and her Council abduct Flynn on his wedding day, she expects him to break and grovel at her feet like most of her other enslaved harem members. She demands submission and loyalty, but like any rational being, she gives all her victims a promise of hope; for Flynn, that is Danika's survival amongst the end of the world, though it is just another piece of the puzzle that makes her power-trip, amidst calm iciness, strong. Like her distant cousin, she knows what she wants, although her motivation is vengeance for being abandoned amongst the cycle of evolution. She also never lies. She may be violent and full of bloodlust and anger, but she views lying as a weakness.
Other characters will have their own post. In addition to these ones
1. “I still would rather go to Canada…” Wayne paused for a moment, and the faerie’s eyes flared a hue of deep gray that sent me reeling inside with a frenzy of panicked thoughts — Dear gods. Dears gods. Dear gods. “Oh right, it doesn’t exist anymore.”
2. Finally, one hand under his chiseled jawline, he asked us, “Do you want me to join the Elders for a meeting and relay messages?” His eyes seemed to fixate on me as he angled his face my way. “I’m part of the Council of Apprentices, as you all know.”
I rolled my eyes. Of course—of course, Mason would use this time to brag. If this were the end, he certainly would use it to make station known to our fellow townspeople.
3. “Stop overthinking, Lover Boy. It’s okay to kiss me.”
— Danika (Chapter 1)
4. “I love you, Danika,” he breathed and shifted slightly onto his toes to plant a kiss against my forehead. After that, he pulled away with a hitched breath. “I love you so much that it’s hard to describe, for every time I see you, a gigantic wave hits me; my stomach is a symphony of butterflies when you laugh.” He looked up at the night sky — a velvet hue dotted with diamonds, which could’ve danced around him. As he met my eyes, he seemed to drink me with a tender smile that I could’ve melted into, and he said, “I know I’m cautious about saying these words, but the night is beautiful, and you’re even more enticing than it.”
5.
“Dani, I used to believe that I was unlovable in the romantic sense,” he began after taking my hand. Moroccan oil smoothed his hands down and gave him a more tangy scent. “A string of heartbreak after heartbreak, one unrequited love after another, one one-night-stand after the subsequent, rejection after rejection. I began to lose faith in myself until I met you.
“When I met you, I was three years transitioned,” he went on and squeezed my hands. I noticed a glossy overtone in his hazel eyes before he blinked. “I thought I was going to spend my life single, and then I saw your face, full of brilliance, beauty, and life, and I knew I had to ask you out. I fell deeper in love with you one date after the next because you accepted me for who I am; you showed me what true love is—unconditional.”
His breath hitched as he adjusted his posture. “I want you in my life permanently,” he continued and brushed the collar of his formal blazer. “I know it is unorthodox to envision a future with you when the world might be ending, but if the world is ending, there’s no one I’d rather spend my numbered days with than you.”
My throat was bottled up as I imagined growing old with Flynn, gray streaks in our hair, and a swinging bench where we curled up together. We would watch our children grow and give us grandchildren. I would wake up next to him forever. Tears pricked at the corners of my eyes. “Just ask it already,” I begged as tears stung my eyes before I wiped them away.
“If this isn’t too much to ask, but will you, Danika Hope Renard, do me the tremendous honor of becoming my wife until death do us part?” With that, he opened the ring box, showing me the ring.
I wiped my eyes once again as my knees sank to the floor, and I cupped Flynn’s face with a laugh meant to be a cry of bliss that my man knew what he wanted — me forever. “Yes, I will marry you.” My words were loud over my now-hitching breath. “We’re in this future together until death do us part.” I pulled him against my form with one arm, freeing my other so I could allow Flynn to slip the ring onto my left ring finger.
6. And indeed, he made paintings with his tongue.
(Chapter 2)
7. “Imagine eight children…” I mused playfully, “…or perhaps even more. How about eleven?” I quirked an eyebrow as I spoke, envisioning the joy of a large, loving family.
8. “No,” was Danika’s answer. “What is in the past is bound to haunt me if I stay here. My parents died here…,” her breath hitched as she went on, “everyone in my family has died here for over a millennium. Dying here, knowing that there was a whole world out there waiting to be explored, would suck.”
(Chapter 3)
9. “I was with Danika,” I explained ... “Do I need to update my status to ‘Sock on Socials’ when I’m alone with her?”
(Flynn, Chapter 3)
10. “That explains the pheromones.” ... "Gross."
(Mason, Chapter 3)
11. “You two are like Romeo and Juliet; we all know how that ends.”
(Mason, Chapter 3)
"Hi, I'm Sebastian, but you can call me Bashy"
"Okay, hi Sebastian"
"IT'S BASHY!!!!"
"...I have a feeling we're opposite sides of the coin."
"You think?!"
"Is the effing Sphynx cat Nubia talking?" (a beat later) "This is totally normal; after all, I'm a Fusch...and I'm still effing talking to myself."
"I'm never going to meet your father, Bastian--"
"It's Bash, Bashy, or Seb. Pick one."
(ENTER FATHER)
"Long time no see, Prince Sebastian"
"Seb, you didn't tell me you're a fricking prince."
*Bridal March starts*
"Why is there a spaceship growing larger by the moment?"
🎶"We are your alien relatives, and we're abducting your fiancé"🎶
"Umm, best man Mason, there's a mental breakdown on the altar. What should we do?"
"That's your job, maid of honor Erixa."
"I have to leave Silver Falls...it's the end of the world. I want to start over if Flynn is gone for good."
"There's this place..."
"So this is the place..."
*Enter new realm*
(Soon Later)
"Guess I'm giving myself away to Fae for money to feed myself and Nash."
"Bash...why do you come here?"
"It's a long story."
"I have time."
"Seb, they got Nash" *proceeds to pace*
(After a moment)
"I'm going full bitch mode on those asshats"
"Danika, if you want to survive, play the game."
(In a whisper) "What game?"
"My father's game -- in which you and I are married."
"Umm..." *searches down bond to ask Flynn if that's alright; she hears an absence of heartbeat* (composing herself w/ a heavy heart) "Okay."
"Sebastian, my first and only son, I have to tell you something about your wife."
*Enter Flynn, breathless* "Dani, my beloved, don't do this."
"Flynn? I-is that you? How are you alive?"
"Yes, it's me. Flynn Schalez from Waylon Lane. Your fiancé for love?"
"I--"
*Jora clears throat* "Danika, I think you have an announcement for my son."
"Yes, Jora, I do. Seb, I'm pregnant, and you're the father."
"Two males...one female...one baby...what will it be?"
This is still very much in the early stages of drafting; things may change.
