Thank you! I just love the idea that Eugene got some of old dreams filled too, in addition to his new one.

Aw, of course it's his real dream come true. I'm so happy he recognizes that.

[jmetropolis]

Eugene got quite a bit of wish fulfillment in that film. But he had such a rough start with the whole orphan thing, that it makes me glad he got his happy ending.

There are SO many wonderful things about this fic--Eugene finding the King's way of playing backgammon "brilliant," the delicious detail in Rapunzel making breakfast, the glimpse into how the castle works. I can *see* these scenes.

[jmetropolis]

Thanks! I basically want to take this and blow it up into a multi-chap fic.

Oh, expanding this to a multi-chaptered fic is an *excellent* idea! I'm especially interested in the hints of scenes involving Eugene and the King, and Eugene and the Queen--lots of opportunity for fascinating character development there, and I'd love to *see* that mutual respect and love growing.
