this is sorta a crossover between Mercedes Lackey's Beauty and the Werewolf and WB's Nutcracker Prince. Kyrie is Clara and Gunther is the Nutcracker. I own nothing of anything to do with the original ballet, book, Warner Bros or Mrs. Lackey's characters!

One night while a girl prepares for her role in a new movie based on the famous story of The Nutcracker, she happens to see a beautiful fairy being chased by a seven headed monster mouse. When she steps in to save the damsel in distress she finds herself pulled into a magical world of talking toys and wonder where she must either help the fairy defeat the evil Mouse King... or die.

Based on the Nutcracker Prince, only in a modern setting. Clary is still sad over the disappearance of her first love Rudy 4 years prior, but her Christmas trip to Austria gets turned upside down when her Godfather, Uncle Meyer, gives her the gift of a Nutcracker.
