let sleeping witches lie (Edgar/Rosella, PG-13)
Title: let sleeping witches lie
Fandom: King's Quest
Characters: Edgar/Rosella
Rating: PG-13
Word Count: 108
Summary: He spends too much time staring into mirrors.
She kissed a toad once, she says, and it turned into a prince.
There's a form of self-destruction Edgar inherited from his not-mother; thinking every story is about him. He spends too much time staring into mirrors, twisting an unfamiliar face into grotesque memories of the first nineteen years of his life.
Rosella catches him, her hands smoothing out his hunched shoulders. Lolotte dissolves from his features as he smiles awkwardly at her in the mirror, to keep her from worrying about him.
She kissed him, because that's what princesses do.
(it's not that he wants to be the toad - he doesn't know how to be anything else)
