A difference (Varian x Cassandra)

by StrangeSareena

This is a fanfic on Varian and Cassandra from Tangled the Series. All Varian needs is someone to save him, like Rapunzel saved Eugene, and Cassie is hoping that her thoughts, her letters, make a difference. (I originally wrote this on Wattpad but I decided to post it here as well)

7. Dear Cassie

Arianna briskly strode back into the dungeon that was growing to be more familiar than it should have. "Here, I got you the paper and pen."

Varian quickly snatched the brownish paper and the lavish-looking fountain pen that was only invented a while back. He muttered something unintelligible that Arianna assumed was a thank you and started furiously scribbling and occasionally crossing out a few words. "Here I'm-I'm done," Varian slipped the neatly-folded paper through the bars without getting up from his position sitting on the floor and without making eye contact.

Arianna took it and said with a slight smile, "Thank you, I'll be sure to send it to her."

She ambled out of the dungeon and back into one of her study rooms in the castle. She murmured to her self as she sat down on one of the armchairs and unfolded Varian's letter, "No one would ever know that I read it before mailing it."

And so she did.

Dear Cassie,
Um so I know you hate that nickname please don't be mad that I used it but that's how you signed the letters so I assumed you'd be okay with it but just say if you want me to stop calling you that. So about the letters, um thank you for them. I know you're really busy having a probably awesome adventure that you're probably doing to help Corona and not because it's fun and that means you're really busy. I just wanted to send you this letter to kind of say take care and thanks again for taking the time to write to me. And you're right, it is really boring in here...Especially with Rudiger gone. Anyway, good luck and please save my dad. Also, please make sure to come back. You have to come back.
Rotting behind bars,
Varian

Arianna snorted at passive-aggressive close but overall the letter was pretty sweet. She sighed, she really did want everything to turn out well, but life isn't a fairytale... Once she snapped out of her thoughts she carefully folded the letter and inserted it into a spare envelope on her desk. She put the required stamps and information on both her letter and Varian's before walking out of the castle once more to mail them.
