Fairy Queen

"Fairy Queen" is an unpublished fanfiction by Anastasia Stephan.

It's a multiple chapter story influenced by medieval fairy tales; as it covers and hints at mature subjects that were considered normal at the time.

While the story would've worked with original characters, the decision was made to use the genderbent version of Edd and Marie Kanker to spark interest within the fanbase. A feature of the story is that the language was kept simple and modern, even though it plays in medieval times.

Plot
The story is about an old queen who tries to redeem herself at the last moment. When she notices her shameful past is still very much alive in the minds of the people, she decides to use a standard invitation to a royal ball as an excuse to show up and brag about herself, with the intention to boost her name.

Soon she discovers she made a huge mistake showing up when she ends up in a hostage scene directed by a barbaric prince.

 

Anna-Marie
''Anna-Marie is the genderbent version of Edd. See also: Ann'' Anna-Marie is a 48 year old queen who has lived alone ever since her parents passed away at a young age. She is called "the queen" in the first half of the story. She is portrayed as a very unlucky, but kind person, who doesn't recieve much respect for what she does. Her kingdom, given the simple name "Green Kingdom", has only plant life and no actual people living in it, meaning that Anna-Marie rules over nothing. It's one of the many reasons she is frowned upon by the surrounding kingdoms; another being that her parents already had a negative name and that she was never considered suitable for marriage because of her skinny and "unattractive" posture. Even so, Anna-Marie also concludes that people might think she's just too boring. All of these aspects caused her to get rejected at "bonding balls"; a ball where princes and princesses get together to find a partner and so unite their kingdoms, which caused more shame within her family. Because of her parents' education and solitary life, she lacks certain social skills and mindsets, even though it's not noticeable at first sight. Anna-Marie's awkward training as a child turned her into a people-pleaser and she has the urge to glorify good deeds over the bad ones, which tends to give bad people a free card. Because of this, she's vulnerable to Stockholm syndrome. While she is fully aware of her strange upbringing, as she has a high level of intelligence, she still has trouble changing her ways and so is often lost in her thoughts when conflicted about something.

She has been able to distract herself from the loneliness and her life in general by spending her days making technical constructions and performing scientific experiments for fun, but her forced meeting with prince Larie made her think about what it is she wants in life.

Larie
''Larie is the genderbent version of Marie. See also: Larie'' Larie is an 18 year old prince from a faraway kingdom. He is called "the prince" in the first half of the story. He is described to be the son of a feared king, and is a dangerous character who should be kept satisfied at all time. He enjoys being a bother to people and keeping them on their toes, but his playful side is easily replaced by his manipulative and violent side whenever the wrong button is pushed. It is revealed that he has a serious mental disorder, inherited from his mother.

His past is dark, as he was one of the many children of king Bobby, but the only one who survived the horrible training exposed to him when he was a toddler. This included the death battle he was forced to have with his, at the moment, two siblings.

 

Bobby
Bobby is the genderbent version of Bebe Kanker.

He is the king of a faraway land. He has the same intimidating appearance as his son, but does not present himself as an entertainer to the crowds. In all their arguments Larie has the upper hand, and it also seems like he's calling all the shots, instead of Bobby.

Ha ha!" - Anna-Marie: "Ah, yes..I apologize, adolescent prince, but I was indeed about to retreat from this occasion. It is an unfortunate cause of action, but do not take my unannounced departure personally." Larie: "You talk weird." - Guard: "She called the queen a pathetic wench, your majesty." Larie: "Oh?"

Come lie down with me!" - Larie: "Are you happy?" Anna-Marie: "Ehm..Well..this is quite the responsibility! I have never been offered an organism of such awe-inspiring proportion to nurture! Never mind a specimen from the valued Equidae family. I'm intrigued by the upcoming illuminating experiences this grotesque young mare will introduce me to." Larie: "..Wha..what?" - Bobby: "There's nothing funnier than locking up a guy who feels like he has a chance to escape, hence the open roof." Anna-Marie: "Ehm.." - Anna-Marie: "I'm not following you, your majesty, but I'll let you know this setting fills me with perturbation!" Bobby: "Sounds dirty." Anna-Marie: "It's very serious. Please, state your business.."
