Mother Knows Best

My name is Mother Gothel. I took on the maternal title for my darling Rapunzel. I'm keeping this short and sweet; I'm a witch, I've lived for hundreds of years and I suggest you take a warning if you ever think of crossing me. But, don't worry, as long as you're good, I don't bite. I can play nice. So, why don't you come see me sometime? I'd love to have some fun.

“Perhaps a sisterly dinner and just some facial masks will be enough…” Grimhilde smiled softly and kissed her hair. “Just some us time”

She was glad her sister had agreed, no matter how old she would get she would have her little sister and that was comforting. There wasn´t anything to worry about. Still Grimhilde knew one day she would be off searching for something she would do, something she wanted and she wouldn´t be here to look after her sister. That was possibly the one thing in her life that scared her.”

Gothel was trained at not showing her own concern about tomorrow. Perhaps if she stayed up really late and went to see the flower once Grimhilde fell asleep. Making this plan in her mind helped calm her nerves. 

“Indeed, that sounds relaxing.” Gothel agreed with her.

“I suppose it isn´t” She sighed and shook her head fondly. She couldn´t have gotten a better sister then Gothel and she was grateful for it.

“I know you would tell me but I worry about you sometimes and I can´t help it” Grimhilde sighed softly and slowly finished the braid, wrapping her arms around her sister while pressing a kiss to her hair. “Will you stay home tomorrow?”

Glancing forward, she froze, but remained calm. Her smile remained as well. Gothel told herself she needed to go to the flower, at least once tomorrow, because she needed to make sure it was still there. But she knew she owed her sister some time, and she did miss spending time with her. 

“Yes, I will.” Gothel agreed. “I look forward to us spending the day together like we used to.”

Growing up with hardly any help from their parents Grimhilde had been the one making sure Gothel stayed out of trouble, came home before she couldn´t find her way home and so on. Still being just as protective as she was when her sister was little had been a full time job. A job she loved doing after all.

“Well perhaps not but I´m the big sister, I don´t have to tell you every single boring detail about my life.” she shook her head, slowly starting to braid a part of her hair. “It´s just me being worried and I suppose it´s stilly”

Now take some responsibility, she told herself. It would be more convincing. She hated lying to her dear sister, but Gothel knew it was necessary. 

“No, it’s not silly.” she told her, sighing in comfort as Grimhilde played with her hair. “It’s my fault for being so distant lately. But I swear, if I wasn’t safe, I would tell you.” Finally something that was true. If she was in danger, she knew her big sister would be the only one she could actually go to.

It had been quiet without her sisters for hours and hours, frankly she just knew that something had been going on without Gothel telling her and it made her suspicious. Something about the whole thing made Grimhilde uncomfortable because she coudn´t be there and protect her. A big sister was supposed to protect their younger siblings and she had no way of knowing if her sister had been in trouble or if she was in trouble.

She raised her eyebrows and shook her head, her suspicion only grew at the smirk that was formed on her sisters face.

“Are you sure you tell be everything?” Grimhilde raised an eyebrow and shook her head. “Well we would be and I would make sure your secret was safe with me, you know that.”

Grimhilde knew her well. All Gothel’s life, it was practically just the two of them. She laughed softly, a casual laugh, one meant to brush off any seriousness of this situation. 

“Okay, so maybe I don’t tell you every single thing. But can you honestly tell me that you tell me everything?” Try turning it around on her, Gothel thought. Surely that would work.

Of course she had noticed how her sister had been gone for hours everyday, still it wasn´t that worrying to her. Gothel was capable of taking care of herself and she had always been. Some how she didn´t know what was different about her little sister though. Something about her was different, it had been different for years and Grimhilde couldn´t figure out what it was about. Perhaps it was because her sister seemed happier and she wanted to know why. “Boys have always fancied you dear and I doubt that will ever stop”

The very thought of her sister being together with someone made her slightly uncomfortable. Gothel had always been a baby in her eyes and if he would ever meet a man and get married she didn´t really know what to do. It was weird thinking she might not always have her sister by her side and it worried her. It worried her that one day she might not be able to have those sisterly talks.

“Gothel darling you do know you can tell me everything right?” Grimhilde raised an eyebrows and tilted her head slightly, she was hiding something and she had no doubts it had been for quite sometime. “I´m your big sister, I wouldn´t judge you or anything…”

Whenever she really thought about it, she knew she didn’t have to visit the flower every day. In fact, Gothel only actually sang to it once every six months, unless she needed to look exceptionally beautiful for an occasion. But worry brought her to go every day, to check up on it, to make sure it was still there, still in tact, still hidden, still hers and only hers. 

She smirked as she glanced to Grimhilde’s face again, noticing the sudden suspicion in those ever so questioning words.

“Yes, I know. You’ve always made that clear, not to worry. And I do tell you everything.” Almost. “After all, I think we’d both be hypocrites if we judged each other.” Her sister was indeed the only person Gothel trusted in this world. However, she didn’t feel able to trust anyone with this.

@undyingmother liked this for a starter

It wasn´t many people the queen really enjoyed and loved being around, the exception had to be her little sister. Who in all fairness was just as wonderfully evil and vain as the queen was. It was amazing how alike they had been when it came to their own beauty but after all, the apple doesn´t fall far from the tree. Frankly Grimhilde was glad she had a little sister she could trust with things, a little sister she had no doubts was annoyed she always treated her like she was so much younger but the queen had kept it up through the years, not really ready to letting her sister get older. “Gothel dear, what have you been up to?” She sat down beside her and slowly started stroking her hair, affection wasn´t her favorite thing but with her sister she could be affectionate and let herself open up to someone else. “I haven´t seen you in awhile”

It all started with the single gray hair. Gothel had plucked it from her hair, because it had frightened her. Though her own sister had magic that could possibly help her, part of Gothel needed to keep the fact that she was aging a secret. She was too young to have a gray hair, she insisted to herself. Not only that, but she began to worry about frown lines, dark circles under her eyes. That was when she had found the flower. It was such a beautiful flower, and going near it, she heard a song that matched its beauty. Even greater still, singing the song to the flower, Gothel being ever so careful-- after all, Gothel had magic too, although hers was far more destructive than Grimhilde’s, something happened. Relieved that she hadn’t burnt it, with each note of the song sung, Gothel appeared lovelier and more radiant. 

Keep this a secret, she told herself. And so she did for five years and counting. Grimhilde had aged a bit since then, though Gothel hadn’t. For once in Gothel’s life, her sister seeing her as a child played to her advantage; she doubted Grimhilde noticed her little sister looked exactly the same as she did two years ago, because that was how she wanted her to stay; her little sister.

Of course, she had grown somewhat obsessed with the flower. She still lived with Grimhilde, but every day, she would take the long walk to it, and the long walk back. 

“I was only gone a few hours.” Gothel murmured, glancing up at her sister. Admittedly, Grimhilde’s hands through her hair was relaxing. “I haven’t been up to much. There’s just this boy in the village who fancies me. I have no interest, but it’s fun to watch him dance and fawn over me.” she lied.

"---Where's Ginny? Where is she?"

“How should I know?” She muttered bitterly, raising her eyes to glance up at Harriet. “I’m only her mother after all. Not that she tells me where she is.”

Through moans, she tried speaking coherently, but it came out quite mumbled and broken. 

“I....ahhh.... yes, I’m rather-- mmm... enjoying it.” Gothel admitted,head leaned back, pressing hard against the bed. Her legs wrapped around Theodore’s torso. Another moan broke through her grinning lips, followed by a laugh of delight.

Again, the blonde nodded. “Of course, Mother,” she said, hopping down from the counter as she went to fetch the ingredients. Once she found everything, she made her way back and set them down next to Gothel, looking up at her as she said the cookie was nice, smiling a little brighter at her comment about the painting. “I think it did. It looks rather life like, if you ask me. Though my only reference was from one of those photo books you brought me once.”

    Gothel turned the stove on and began adding to a pot she placed on one of the burners. She listened to Rapunzel speak about her painting and her photo book and couldn’t help but wonder why she had bought that in the first place. Ah yes, Gothel had foolishly thought that if, perhaps, she could see the beauty of the world in a book, she would be satisfied enough to not go looking for the real thing. Gothel had been wrong. 

   “I’m sure your painting is better than what’s in the book. Flowers painted on a wall can’t wilt and die like real ones.” she mused.

This woman seemed to be one of those who stressed life and always wanted everything her way, it wasn´t like she had meant to walk into her so she spilled coffee over her shirt. “No problem.” Liv mumbled while she nodded and walked down the street, scolding herself from blushing the whole way home. “I´m really sorry about your shirt.”

    After a few moments had passed, Gothel calmed down and wasn’t as angry. Just embarrassed. “It’s fine.” she muttered, glancing over to the other. “I’m sure my co-workers would find this amusing after today.” In all honesty, she probably deserved to be drenched in coffee. Those who had her as a boss would say she had it coming to her.

Olivia sighed heavily when she glanced down at the other woman´s shirt, rubbing her forehead before shaking her head. “No you don´t… I live a street down from here… you can wash your shirt and borrow one from me….” it was strange inviting her like that but that was the least she could do. She had ruined the strangers shirt and from the looks of it she was blushing madly. “It´s the least I can do…”

        She supposed she had no other choice. This person didn’t exactly seem to wear her style, but that wasn’t important. “Fine. Alright. Thank you.” Gothel spoke with an annoyed huff at her own appearance. Perfection was everything to the woman. “Lead the way.” she sighed.
