This is a mini-project I have at the moment centering around Flynn Rider and Rapunzel - because I loved the movie - 50 prompts and one sentence for each. Of course, I can't help myself and exceed the one sentence limit sometimes ...

There will be spoilers for the movie, as well as speculation about their lives after the movie.

Warnings: There is implied intimacy in a small portion of these.

And on that note, I hope you enjoy these snippets 3

1. Air
He compared her to the air at times – She was never fully there, her mind always up in the clouds. Just like the air though, he didn't think he'd be able to survive without her – he needed her by his side as surely as he needed to breathe.

2. Apples.
On occasion, Maximus would accept a bribe of apples from the guards and turn a blind eye to their slacking off. When it meant that Flynn Rider had vanished without a trace, however, Maxmius was a little less bribe-able.

3. Beginning
Their beginning had been an awkward one, to say the least, filled with uncertainty and frustration. That hadn't stopped them from falling in love though – even if Rapunzel still wanted to knock Eugene out with the frying pan at times.

4. Bugs
The first time Rapunzel had encountered a spider she watched the thing curiously, even calling out to Eugene with wonder, her hand reaching out to touch one of it's many legs curiously. She certainly hadn't expected the sudden pain she felt and the entire kingdom had heard her shriek of horror as she realised the eight-legged creature had latched itself to her finger.

5. Coffee
Flynn hated mornings – he could hardly even function before he had his first cup of coffee – but, he was beginning to grow at least partially fond of them. Something that had a great deal to do with the young woman he woke up next to every morning.

6. Dark
To this day Rapunzel hated the dark, so much so she insisted on keeping a candle lit every time they went to sleep. More than once she panicked after waking to complete darkness – but then she would feel an arm wrap around her waist and she remembered that she was safe as long as she was with Eugene.

7. Despair
"I don't belong here in this world," Flynn told her once, even though it broke his heart, even though he was loath to see that look of despair on her face. It didn't make the statement any less true though.

8. Doors
"There are doors everywhere!" Rapunzel exclaimed happily, looking down the hallway with a look of glee on her face. "So many rooms to explore and –"she inhaled deeply, her eyes lighting up with joy, "Paint!". Rapunzel didn't see the awkward glance her true mother and father shared, she was too busy running along the hallway trying to decide in which room she'd begin.

9. Drink
On the occasions that Flynn wanted a drink a little harder than what they kept at the castle, he would return to the Snuggly Duckling. After he'd downed one or two tankards of ale, Hook-hand wasted no time in asking "So, have you asked her to marry you yet?" and Flynn spat his ale over the barman with shock each and everytime.

10. Duty
In later years, the thieves Flynn had known through his 'career' asked if he married Rapunzel because he felt like he was duty-bound to, having returned her to her family and all. They generally stumbled out of the pub with a black eye and missing more than one tooth, leaving behind an enraged Flynn.

11. Earth
His eyes reminded her of the earth outside, though any time she told him as much Eugene would look at her with an affronted look, before yelling "My eyes remind you of dirt?" Rapunzel never had a chance to tell him that it was because the earth was warm and from it, all life grew – Eugene would always storm away before she could even open her mouth, muttering darkly as he went

12. End
He was dying. That much Flynn knew, he could feel his life ebbing away. And although he was highly appreciative that Rapunzel wanted to save him, he wasn't going to exchange her life for his. So, with that thought in mind, he jerked the mirror shard along her hair, severing any reason there might have ever been for her imprisonment - even if it meant he could no longer be by her side. It was a sacrifice Flynn was willing to make, as long as it meant that she could be free.

13. Fall
It had been the absolute last thing he'd ever, ever imagined as he'd climbed that tower – who would have known he'd meet a beautiful young woman up there? – but, as he watched her dancing among the townsfolk, Flynn could feel it. He was starting to fall for this girl, or maybe he already had. Either way, his heart swelled as he looked at her and he couldn't keep the smile off his face.

14. Fire
Starting the fire had been difficult, but Flynn was a thief and he was used to roughing it from time to time. What made it awkward was the curious look Rapunzel had on her face as she watched him twist the twigs together, her eyes watching him work with rapt attention.

15. Flexible
"You know, she's pretty flexible," one of Hook-Hand's thugs murmured as they watched Rapunzel stretch and bend during one of her many painting-sessions. Flynn glared daggers at him until the thug left, secretly musing about that revelation himself.

16. Flying
Rapunzel could no longer go flying through the air as she once had, and at times ... she almost missed the exhilarating thrill of wrapping her hair around something and just ... fly. But, as her hands came to cup her stomach, a fond smile on her face as she felt a pressure against her hands, she decided it was well worth the loss for the life she gained.

17. Food
The food at the Snuggly Duckling was tough, gritty and tasteless. But, once a week, Rapunzel and Eugene would travel to the pub and stomach the meal, entirely for the good company they found there.

18. Foot
After years and years, presumably, without shoes, Flynn found it nigh miraculous that Rapunzel still had amazingly soft – and sensitive – foot soles, which meant any time she insisted on having a tickling war, Flynn almost always won.

19. Grave
Eugene wouldn't approve if he knew, Rapunzel was fully aware of that, but she'd snuck away from the palace once – just once, or maybe ... a few times – to visit her old tower. There, at the base of which, she'd made a makeshift grave for Mother Gothel, even though all she'd had to bury was her cape.

20. Green
It was unsurprising that Pascal's favourite colour was green, considering that was the colour he chose to be most of the time. What had surprised Rapunzel, at least a little, was that it was Eugene's favourite colour as well.

21. Head
She felt bare without a full head of hair cascading all around her, but as Eugene brought back hair clips of various designs – some hearts, some flowers, others of stars – Rapunzel grew to like it. She still wished it would grow out a little further though.

22. Hollow
Lying on that bed, she felt hollow. She had been so sure there had been something between them – a spark like the one she'd read about between star-crossed lovers – and realising it had all been an act, that everything had been fake ... She felt empty. Regardless of what Mother Gothel said though, Rapunzel didn't want to forget, she wanted to remember that – for just a moment – she'd thought someone outside this tower had genuinely loved her.

23. Honor
Flynn had absolutely and utterly refused to share a bed with Rapunzel after her return to her parents, entirely as a matter of honour. Of course, refusing to share her bed is irrelevant when she creeps into yours in the middle of the night, but at least the refusal looked good at the time...

24. Hope
It had been something out of her control, almost as inevitable as her want to leave the tower. Even as she watched Eugene's form sail over the waters and away from her, she genuinely hoped he'd turn around to come to her rescue. But he hadn't, and it was in that moment Rapunzel realised exactly how fragile hope could be.

25. Light
Considering how heavy Rapunzel's heart had felt mere moments ago, she was amazed to realise how light she felt as Eugene opened his eyes and whispered her name. For just a second, Rapunzel wondered if she could float away from sheer happiness – instead, she threw her arms around him and ground herself to the earth. For right there, in Eugene's arms, was where she wanted to stay.

26. Lost
Never before had Flynn fully understood what it meant to feel lost, even when you knew exactly where you were. But, as he was led to the gallows, that was precisely how he felt. Lost, helpless and filled with regret. And to think, he finally understood what it meant to love.

27. Metal
It was a strange metal he happened upon, but as he looked at the strange white-ish silver, Flynn knew that Rapunzel's wedding ring had to be made out of that material, regardless of what it was.

28. New
The renovations were complete on the tower and Flynn couldn't wait to show Rapunzel the new and improved tower. He felt it an appropriate place to live, considering that was where they'd met ... Only, Flynn had made sure there were several doors and ways to leave.

29. Old
Watching as Mother Gothel turned into the old woman she was meant to be was a truly horrifying experience, if ever Rapunzel had seen one. She wasn't sure what horrified her more though – watching the aging process, or knowing that Eugene was lying in her arms dying and there was nothing she could do about it.

30. Peace
Although the kingdom had never been at war, per se, the amount of ruffians and thugs seemed to lessen with the return of the Princess. Superstitious villages said that it had been an omen and that the Princess was a symbol of joy and longevity. Those that knew the truth, however, simply knew that those "ruffians" and "thugs" had flawlessly integrated themselves into society, living out their dreams.

31. Poison
The second most terrifying moment of her life had been when Eugene had been poisoned – there were small factions in the kingdom who disagreed with having a past thief so close to the royal family – and knowing that, without her hair, there was no way to save him. As it turned out, Eugene was simply allergic to hazelnut's and needed to rest.

32. Pretty
The very first time that Flynn saw Rapunzel he knew that she was more than just pretty, she was beautiful, with her alluring green eyes and her full, pouty mout - Even when she'd threatened him with a frying pan she'd been beautiful. But now, as his life force was leaving him and her golden hair had turned brunette, he decided he'd been wrong. She was even more than beautiful – there simply weren't enough words in any spoken language that could describe how perfect she was to him.

33. Rain
Rainy weather had always been her favourite – whereas it had always been his most disliked. And as Rapunzel ran out into the rain and away from him, his dislike of it simply increased.

34. Regret
There were few things in his life he regret – which was surprising considering the life he lived. But, as he was led to his death, he realised he had just one. That he hadn't kissed her when he had the chance, that he hadn't taken the opportunity to show how much he cared for her, and now ... He'd never see her again. It was almost enough to bring the almighty Flynn Rider to tears.

35. Roses
His preferred flower – if he were forced to choose one - were roses. He didn't care what colour, he just liked the idea of something so thorny having such beauty. Rapunzel, her favourite flower was a bluebell, or a hibiscus', or ... any flower really. Flynn simply couldn't keep up with every flower's name, but he knew that no matter which one she weaved through her hair ... it looked fantastic anyway.

36. Secret
Eugene was behaving strangely, and Rapunzel began to worry that he was keeping something from her, and without her even meaning for it to, her mind thought of all sorts of scenario's – what if he'd grown bored of her? Did she really have to be so naïve – what if it was beginning to annoy him? Had she put on weight? Mother Gothel had always been so strict with her diet! Or, what if he was in some sort of trouble and didn't want to worry her? By the time Eugene came home that night, Rapunzel had thrown the frying pan at him, demanding to know what it was he was hiding.

37. Snakes
All through her life, Rapunzel had been told that snakes were evil, disgusting creatures. But, when she actually came foot-to-face with one, Rapunzel decided they were disgusting at all, snakes were actually elegant creatures who were constantly shedding their skin to reveal a brighter, better, them. From then on, snakes were one of Rapunzel's many favourite animals – though Eugene seemed to be uneasy whenever they were around.

38. Snow
Late into the year it began to snow, and Flynn looked at the stuff with distaste. Snow was simply really cold rain - he didn't care how pretty it looked as it fell, rain was still rain. That didn't stop him from taking Rapunzel's hand and leading her into the stuff as she watched it with fascination.

39. Solid
The very first morning after they'd slept together, Flynn had been tremendously bewildered to wake up and feel something solid beside him, so much so that he'd actually scooted back and fallen out of the bed with shock. Seconds later, Rapunzel shifted, and Flynn had an onslaught of memories. Grinning like the cat who got the cream, Flynn crawled back into the bed and nuzzled against the side of her neck affectionately – a tender moment that was broken by an enraged, "Rider!"

40. Spring
After living outside of the tower for a year, Rapunzel decided that her preferred season was spring. The feel of the warm breeze in her face, accompanied by the intermittent rain, the baby animal's that sung out and the scent of the flowers in the air ... There was something about Spring that simply screamed 'life!', and Rapunzel couldn't help but smile at it all – relishing the fact that she was a part of that now.

41. Stable
It was something completely unheard of, but Flynn found out not long after moving to the tower, that Maximus absolutely refused to sleep, or live for that matter, in a stable - No matter how many times the ex-thief yelled at the horse that he was, in fact, a horse.

42. Strange
There was no way around it – her hair glowed and that freaked him out enough. As if that factor hadn't been strange enough, Rapunzel goes and heals his injured hand. All Flynn wanted to do at that point in time was yell and scream himself hoarse – had she not pleaded with him to not freak out, he may have done exactly that too.

43. Summer
Rapunzel liked spring, Flynn liked summer. He preferred the heat, being able to kick his shoes off and cool his feet off in the pond. And now, he had another reason to prefer summer – his daughters cries resounded through the tower as Flynn looked down at her with wonder. She had golden hair.

44. Taboo
Since the whole Mother Gothel fiasco, it had become taboo to talk about the powers that Rapunzel had, or to even imply that she had powers in the first place. But Flynn could never forget. He had a scar on the side of his stomach that bore testament to the gifts Rapunzel once had.

45. Ugly
Truth be told, when the Ugly-Thug had spoken about finding love, Flynn had silently scoffed with doubt. And then, he had found it proving to Flynn that no matter how unrealistic the dream, dreams can come true – even to hideously ugly thugs.

46. War
As Flynn Rider's engagement to the Princess was announced there were murmurs that war was going to break out – it was ludicrous! A thief, heir to the throne?- Mysteriously, anyone who so much as uttered the hint of a riot against the engagement changed their mind overnight.

47. Water
This was it – This was to be his end? He was to die by being drowned in a cave during an escape attempt? How anti-climatic! Flynn was quivering with indignation at the entire thing – or maybe that was the cold getting the better of him? Either way, as Rapunzel found a way to get them out of there, he might have fallen in love with her then and there had he not been so weirded out by the glowing hair.

48. Welcome
He hadn't been expected to be welcomed into the family – in fact, he had been fully prepared for the King and Queen to summon the guards the second they set sight on him. And so, the fact that the Queen had held out her hand to him in acceptance, and then even pulled him in for a family hug, Flynn felt highly uncomfortable, and at the same time ... Warmer than he had for a long time.

49. Winter
Cold was his absolute biggest hate – even more so than the rain. He'd learned to deal with it in his time, having slept outside on more than one occasion in Winter. But now, with a roof over his head, and his beloved holding him close, maybe Winter wasn't so horrible after all – there definitely perks to it at least.

50. Wood
Gathering the firewood after being healed, and revealing his tragic little past, Flynn felt exposed and raw. But, as he returned to see Rapunzel standing there, waiting for his return, he couldn't help but smile at the sight of her – at the girl who preferred him as Eugene Fitzherbert, not Flynn Rider.

Thus ends the first one. Chances are I'm going to do another set of these, but will post it as a second chapter.

I hope you enjoyed reading as much as I did writing 33
