Through the Circle || Outlander Au | Audrey & Merida

ruadhgath

The stay in the Scottish countryside had been peaceful, but not what Audrey was looking for. Ever since she'd returned from Atlantis, she'd learned that she could easily visit through an ability that had been discovered by Milo's studies. The crystals created portals in any body of water and so far, she'd been taking advantage of it. It seemed to be one of the only advantages. Since then, Audrey had stopped aging and her injuries had been healing all on their own.

One would think that it'd be a good thing. But almost a decade since the expedition and she was tired of looking at her nineteen year old face. Audrey could tell that her family was starting to notice. Traveling seemed the best alternative, but she didn't want to go back to Atlantis. It was too bizarre knowing that time seemed to pass so very quickly, sometimes she'd be there a month and it'd feel like only a day or two had passed.So she had started going about the world, sometimes traveling traditionally just to draw it out, to make time move slower.

The endearing bed and breakfast she'd ended up at had suggested her taking a walk through town to the lake. And since then, she'd decided she was not meant to travel without some kind of mechanical steed. With a stitch in her side, Audrey not sat panting on the side of a hill unable to enjoy the view because of the way she was cursing under her breath at the crystal being able to heal little scrapes but not keep her in shape. 

As she complained, Audrey paused mid Spanish-English mixed rant as she noticed a faint blue light out of the corner of her eye. "What the––" Dragging herself to her feet, she squinted towards it.

It looked almost like some of the spirits her grandmother had told her tales of, ones that didn't actually live on the other hemisphere, ones she'd only heard of. "Are you a ghost?" She asked softly, curiously reaching out to touch it. Almost instantly it disappeared, but then reappeared a little ways away. Unable to keep from following it, Audrey suddenly found herself deeper into the woods and across a clearing. 

It looked a lot like Stonehenge, or the stones that now floated above the city of Atlantis. Reaching out, she drug her fingertips over the cool stones.

Simple Words | Audrey & Anna

[asparebutton-deactivated2015052]

Whitmore Industries.. Whitmore.. Anna ran the words through her head a few times. She was trying to remember if she had heard the palace staff talking about this industry. Surely it must have come up in conversation somewhere among the palace walls.  However, it was ringing any bells. She shrugged lightly. “You’ll have to tell them thank you for us. I’m sure Elsa will write a letter, but you should still tell them. As far as Else goes… She’s kind of.. not here. She went away for a little while. It was unexpected.” 

Anna glanced at Audrey. “I know a little bit of French. My teachers made me learn that. Just in case I had to talk to someone from France. I think they are suppose to teach me other languages too, but they never got around to it.” She shrugged again. “Wait, you’re going to give me a permanent nickname? What if I don’t like it? What if everyone else starts to call me by that? What if I’m forever known as Princess whatever-nickname-you-give-me?” 

[twoforflinchiing-blog]

"I will. Mr Whitmore wanted to come himself, but he's getting older and I'm a 'spring chicken' as he likes to say." Audrey informed the redhead with a smirk as they continued to stroll. She had to admit she was glad she'd ran into Princess Anna instead of Queen Elsa. There were rumors going around the kingdom from what she'd heard that she was aloof and distant, almost cold. Audrey was sure that it'd be easier just to deal with the Princess instead.

The mechanic laughed when Anna seemed almost upset at her nickname. "Aw, c'mon, chica, who is actually going to listen to a mechanic from some other country over their own princess?" Audrey teased again, standing in front of the cars. She grinned, gesturing grandly to the two behind her. One was a bright cheery green with gold trimmings and the other was a sleek white convertible with white leather seats to match. "What do you think?" 

[twoforflinchiing-blog]

Audrey kept her grip firm but not hurting on the intruder's wrist. "You got about two seconds to tell me why you're in my garage in the dead of night." So maybe the advice her mother had given her was coming into play, she hadn't just blindly hit the person with the nearest tool she could reach, she actually was giving them a chance to explain themselves first. 

[deadandgone-deactivated-deactiv]

Now, if there was one thing in this world he could identify with, it would most certainly be the look of the young woman standing but an odd foot away: slightly awkward, uncomfortable, and entirely unnatural. However, the seemingly helplessness of it all dissipated the very moment she chose to acknowledge his somewhat interested stare— now, in all honesty of the situation, she was hardly something he could empathize with (but rather, discreetly fear the confrontation of): a disgruntled woman.

(… Unfortunately, his upbringing and education only covered so much on socializing— sure, he was taught how to handle formal affairs, but how was any of that supposed to help him now?)

"Ah—heh, nothing, miss.” The dark-haired male announced whilst maneuvering a free, slightly-calloused hand to awkwardly rub the back of his neck (a nervous gesture of habit, it seemed), “Don’t take this the wrong way, but you’re lookin’ a little out of place. You from around ‘ere?”

[twoforflinchiing-blog]

Audrey tried to keep the scowl on her lips, wishing yet again the dress she was wearing had pockets like her coveralls did. At least then she'd have her bubble gum, sometimes her nervousness was easiest to handle with it in her mouth. Audrey took a deep breath and exhaled. "No, I'm not, I'm supposed to be visiting as an emissary from Mr Whitmore of Whitmore industries." 

"I'm supposed to be visiting the royal family here? Their minister of industry asked Mr Whitmore to pay a visit, but he sent me in his place." Audrey had kept working for Whitmore after the expedition even though the gold from Atlantis had bought her second garage. She still felt guilt for the submarine she'd designed when it went down. Too many families had lost members and now most of her paycheck now went to them.

Different Lessons | Audrey & Rapunzel

[sunlitdreamer-deactivated201503]

"Oh." Rapunzel considered that, then tried to think on whether she’d learned any curse words. Mother Gothel had never cursed in front of her- not that she could recall, at least. She pursed her lips to one side as she studied the other woman, then glanced down at her toes, which were already bruising. If she’d still had her hair, she would’ve healed her aching foot by now. 

"I don’t know any curse words. I never learned any. I guess that’s why I just say whatever it is I said when I dropped it," the girl admitted sheepishly. She offered the other a grin and a shrug. 

[twoforflinchiing-blog]

"You never learned any? Not even when your Papi thought you couldn't hear and said a few when he hurt himself?" Audrey laughed at the blond's confession. "You want me to tell you a few in Spanish and English?" She offered, still holding out the frying pan for the blond to take. Her grin grew as she raised an eyebrow. "C'mon, you know you want to." 

"My favorite one is hijo de puta." Audrey teased, leaning forward.

Her Horse Threw a Shoe

[cinderslippers]

"I see," she replied even though she really didn’t. What made them go then if it wasn’t horses? That was quite a mystery to her. Cinderella set down the foot and moved around Major’s body to pick up another foot.

"This help?" she asked, looking from the woman to the horseshoe. She had a feeling she wasn’t going to get very far since she didn’t seem to have experience with horses. Major seemed to have the same idea and he let out a loud sigh. Cinderella pat his side reassuringly, she’d find some solution to all of this and get them both back home soon. 

[twoforflinchiing-blog]

"So it just... nails on?" Audrey asked with slight horror. How did that even work? Didn't it hurt? She bent down, glancing up at the large beast suspiciously. The petite mechanic had never been comfortable around animals bigger than her (which was quite a lot at her tiny stature). She took a deep breath and held the flashlight a bit higher to take a good look. 

"I think I can make something that could fit this. I'm not so sure how to put it on, you'll have to guide me with that." She admitted.

Small Fry || Eugene && Audrey

[dashinglyheroic-blog]

Crush him? He highly doubted that someone of her size could really do that much damage by falling on him. Especially since she wasn’t even that high up in the tree. He stayed rooted to the spot, refusing to move. 

"You’re not going to hurt me. If anything, I’ll break your fall and keep you from breaking your neck or something. Just drop down," he told her, widening his stance slightly to give him a better footing when she did fall. 

[twoforflinchiing-blog]

Audrey huffed in annoyance. Now that she had the crystal back, she knew she had nothing to worry about. Ever since she'd been to Atlantis, she (along with a lot of the members of the expedition) had noticed things didn't heal as slowly as they used to. Audrey had always been tough, but it felt like now she was even more durable. 

"Fine, it's your funeral." She muttered under her breath, taking a deep breath and putting a hand over the crystal tightly as she let go. 

[twoforflinchiing-blog]

The petite mechanic felt overwhelmingly uncomfortable in the outfit. It was a well made navy dress, the overcoat fitting for the weather and she still was allowed to wear a hat, even if it wasn't the one she'd inherited from her father. Audrey shifted from foot to foot, trying not to show just how out of place she felt. "What?" She asked, a bit defensive, perhaps, but then again, not many people see her looking so...not like herself.

And that’s how Audrey didn’t get the role for Beauty and the Beast.

Breathe | Audrey & Elsa

[thawxd]

A moment of shock passed over the newly crowned queen, a look of sincere confusion and surprise passing over her previously rigid face. Eyes instinctively glanced the girl up and down, unsure what to make of their rather interesting taste in wardrobe. She was different, yet terrifying could a small girl be? Certainly not as dangerous as what Elsa had almost displayed. 

She paused in an attempt to collect herself. She shut her eyes and allowed fear to subside. Regal manner caused her to remain standing upright, still tense despite seeing who her follower had been. After opening her eyes, Elsa allowed herself to speak, holding back her previous signs of fright in her demeanor or speech. Nonetheless, there did seem to be an aura of haste about her. Her words came out elegant, yet rushed.

"I apologize," she began, nodding. The queen settled her hands in front of her body, using everything within her power to prevent the desire to toy with her gloves. Eyebrows furrowed together at the other’s explanation. "If you were trying to find your residence within the city… Why follow me past the outskirts of town?"

[twoforflinchiing-blog]

Audrey realized that the girl had a point and her cheeks colored. Not that she'd admit it, but she huffed, crossing her arms. "Well I didn't know we were on the outskirts of town, I thought you might be taking a shortcut back around." Brown eyes narrowed as she realized the woman looked familiar for some reason.

"Whatever, can you just tell me which way back to the castle? I'm staying there for the week." She was staying at behest of Princess Anna, and if she was honest, she'd gotten a little attached to the princess, especially after how lonely she'd admitted ot being.

Simple Words | Audrey & Anna

[asparebutton-deactivated2015052]

Anna’s eyes widened. “Whoa, wait. You brought a car here? Like actually here? In Arendelle?” She had read many things about neighboring kingdoms who had automobiles. But for some reason the royal guards and advisors would not allow cars to be brought to Arendelle. At least, not for the people of Arendelle to use. “I never thought I’d actually get to see one, let alone learn how to use one!” She smiled widely at Audrey.

Anna followed along, making sure not to get too far behind her. She tilted her head, pausing for a moment. “What does ‘chica’ mean?” 

[twoforflinchiing-blog]

"Two! A present from Whitmore Industries for the royal family." Audrey explained with a grin, turning around to grab both hands. It had been a joint effort between the Ford Industries and Mr Whitmore to reach out to another point of business. Audrey had just been excited to get a paid vacation. She grinned at her as she walked backwards. "You're lucky, I was supposed to give the first choice to the Queen, but I haven't seen her, so looks like you'll have to pick which one you want. Personally I'd pick the green one, when you crank her up, she purrs."

Audrey raised an eyebrow. "Some princess, not even learning other languages!" She teased the redhead, bumping her with her hip as they stopped at the door that led out to the gardens. The gardeners had made a makeshift cover for them, but Audrey had already tested both and they both work. "It means 'girl', it's not your permanent nickname yet, I haven't decided what that'll be."

Different Lessons | Audrey & Rapunzel

[sunlitdreamer-deactivated201503]

Well, that was what she got for messing around with frying pans. She needed to keep her wits about her, though, for as often as she was ditching her guards and running off. There was no telling when she might run into ruffians— although, the ruffians she had run into had been quite nice. At least, aside from those conniving twins Eugene had gotten himself wrapped up with. 

Of course, Pascal had been arguing with her about her latest adventure, to which she completely disagreed. Rapunzel had been carelessly swinging the frying pan around and then had dropped it right on her foot. 'And this is why you should wear shoes, darling,' she could hear her mother saying at the back of her mind. The princess let out a whine and hopped up and down, clutching her foot. “Honey flour sugar muffins! Agh! Ow, ow, ow!”

The voice behind her made her jump in a different way entirely, and she nearly fell right over as she spun to see who had spoken. “I— no, it’s quite…” Rapunzel hissed and leaned against the building next to her, trying to act casual. “Quite alright. I don’t need to- wait, how can cursing make the pain go away?”

[twoforflinchiing-blog]

"I don't know, it just does." Audrey explained, but couldn't help but grin. The girl looked sweet, like how she was sure her own mother would love for her to look, they were about the same height, but the other was much more delicately built. Audrey took a few steps forward and picked up the pan, offering it out to her. "I'm a mechanic, I drop my tools a lot and it always helps when you just let it out." 

"Usually I just cuss in Spanish though, that way most people won't know what I'm saying."

Her Horse Threw a Shoe

[cinderslippers]

"Automobiles," she said softly to herself, testing the word. She’d never seen anything like them. They must be awfully expensive. She was sure her step-sisters would want three each if they heard about them. Best not to mention it when she returned, they’d eventually learn when they became popular in their village. 

"Alright, if there is anything you can do I will be grateful," she replied. She led her out to Major who was looking a little worse for the wear at the moment. "This is Major," she introduced Audrey to her horse. She lifted the leg he’d thrown a shoe from to show her. 

[twoforflinchiing-blog]

"Yeah, they don't exactly tire out like horses." Audrey joked, but grimaced when it fell flat. She smiled at the horse, trying not to show her nervousness. Her experience with animals reached the zoo and a few household dogs and cats. The horse was bigger than she'd realized as she approached.

She let Cinderella show her the horse's hoof and her brow furrowed. "Can you show me the other ones so I know what it's supposed to look like?" Of course she'd seen a horseshoe before, but not actually on a horse.

Simple Words | Audrey & Anna

[asparebutton-deactivated2015052]

Anna looked to the ground, feeling like she might have revealed too much about her life, as well as the life of her sister. Especially if this woman found out that they were both the royalty of Arendelle. 

Anna looked up at her and shook her head. “I do. I did. But it got a little harder to sneak out after my parents.. well.. After they died the guards made to keep a careful watch on us. They didn’t want the only royals to go and get hurt.” She shrugged. “I guess being inside isn’t all that lonely. I mean, it can be sometimes. But when the maids are in, or other workers, I have someone to keep me company.” 

[twoforflinchiing-blog]

Audrey didn't say anything else, she felt guilty for how she'd started. There'd been no intention to make Anna feel bad. It wasn't her fault, especially not how she explained it. After a moment, Audrey nodded. "Well, the cars were for you and your sister, so I can teach you how to drive one." She offered with a smile. "Then you could go out and be back in no time, no one would even notice you'd been gone for long."

She reached out, grabbing the princess's hand, tugging her to where the automobile had been stored. Audrey grinned, brown eyes sparkling, "You're gonna love it, chica."
