Sleeping warrior. Sighs, that was something. I remember liking Ruby/Belle and then I got hit in the face for Aurora/Mulan. How could they did them so dirty?

Yeah, I remember Ruby/Belle being a surprising hit for a while, and they were okayyy, but I really fell for SW too. 

They were just off together on their own, both unsure of how to relate to each other without Philip, almost reluctantly teaming up and then growing very very close together, canonically, to the point of loyalty to each first of all and it was just–it would have been such a good love story of THE KIND THEY WERE ALREADY DOING. It annoyed–I mean, we already know why it’s so irritating it took them so long to do anything same-sex in the context of the complaints about SQ, but these two weren’t even the leads and they clearly WERE about to do something with Mulan and then?? THEN??

God you’re anon reminding me of sleeping warrior, my heart hurts again ? The potential! Lemme go reread some sw fics

Tsk, OUAT really just wasted so many great f/f dynamics, that being one of the biggest.

Which fics are you reading? Oddly enough, my two best-remembered SW fics are both AUs that still make use of the fairytale world but change Mulan and Aurora’s roles: a story, a tale by maleficently and Could Have Been a Year by thrace. Oh, I like Object Permanence by thrace too, obviously, but it’s a more standard fix-it, of course I was gonna like it.

I didn’t really read too much else, it was hard to separate the actual SW fics from where they were minor to SQ, which, I do like them as well, but it’s not the same, right.

I checked the Mulan tag in your blog and I saw the Mulan/Aurora part and I have a stroke. The feels, the open wounds

Awwwww, right? God, they did them so dirty! And Mulan in particular, repeatedly. Just because they were obsessed with their twists and reveals and needing to SHOCK people with a damn romantic relationship?? But in a way I’m almost glad Mulan Rouge didn’t happen so I could go back to SW guilt-free. Possibly there was some pressure to not make a Disney Princess queer but they seemed to be building up to it so I won’t let them off the hook for how poorly they handled it all.
