I can't believe I'm actually doing this, but here goes…
My other half of crazy, aka the bff Tamiko, and I were having a discussion (argument) on my 'creepy and morbid' (her words, not mine) likes and dislikes. This all started because I told her that I don't really like the whole Disney fairytale thing, mostly Cinderella, Sleeping Beauty, etc, as it is always about a damsel in distress being rescued by a handsome and wealthy prince. When she started to go all batshit crazy on me I defended myself by saying that some of them weren't that bad, namely Tangled, Mulan and Princess and the Frog, then something happened and she dared me to write a Destiel (not my OTP, but I love 'em) Fairytale AU fic, so here it is…

Chapter One, The Blessing
'Once upon a time', the universe was divided into five specific realms; the human realm, the Fae realm, the angel realm, the demon realm and Purgatory. The realms, mostly the angel, Fae and human, lived in harmony for the most part, but tension arose when King Crowley of the demon realm declared that the humans were too weak to rule themselves. The king then decided that the angels would try to overtake the humans and it would be more 'diplomatic' if he were to overthrow the human kings. His plan went sour when his beloved, but rebellious daughter, Megara, fell in love with the angel prince, Michael. The demon king then declared that as long as he had family in the angel royal court, peace would be kept between angels and demons.
Now, Megara and Michael faced great opposition from both royal families, and greater opposition was faced when it was discovered that the demon princess could not bear children. For years they tried, only to leave them depressed, even more so when King Charles died and Queen Rebekah fell ill, leaving Michael and his brothers in charge of the throne. Megara then became queen of the angel realm and prayed to the gods that they would aid her in bearing an heir to the throne.
At a royal ball, nobles from all the lands were invited to celebrate the first year of Michael and Megara's reign, and an enchantress, named Ruby, told the queen that she would grant her one wish in return for a safe and stable home in the angel kingdom.
"Whatever it is your heart desires the most, dear queen," Ruby said "That, and that alone I shall give you, but you must be specific, magic is a tricky thing."
The queen thought long and hard before she spoke,
"I would like a son," she said, softly. "A perfect heir to the throne, with eyes truer than a clear summer's day, hair as dark as ebony, and lips as red as blood."
Ruby smiled contently at the queen, and took her hand.
"As you have wished, so shall it be." She said, "A son of perfect lineage, twice blessed and pure, as your wish was, and his rule will surpass those of his ancestors, his name shall be Castiel, for he shall be king of change."
And with that, the enchantress disappeared in a huff of stardust, and the queen felt an unfamiliar thump in her belly. She smiled fondly and placed a hand on it, whispering;
"Castiel, a king of change."
Take that, Tami! I did it, and now you owe me five bucks, of chocolate, whichever you prefer….
Hope you guys like it, it's sort of a snow white vibe here, and I did read somewhere that Castiel is "the angel of Thursday, Jupiter, new change and temperance." , in case you wonder… Tell me what you think, and there'll be more soon.
