Fakir falls.

Kraehe smiles.

And Tutu knows what she needs to do to finish the story. She knows.

But there's an spark lurking at the core of her, beneath the layers of story that tangle around her, guiding her and binding her to grace and kindness and self-sacrifice. And as she stares at Kraehe - (only you could accept Princess Tutu's fate so ( Read more... )

Leo has not bathed in over five days.

He really needs to use the restroom.

No, he's not going there and no one can make him.

One moment, Leo was minding his own business in the bar, and the next he not only switched bodies with a pre-teen duck/girl person, but he was suddenly no longer in the bar ( Read more... )

"Um so," Duck says, pushing the door open, "I came in from the dorms, so I guess we're back there now ( Read more... )

She just wants to help Mytho one more time - that's all. She really doesn't plan to be Princess Tutu again for any longer than that.

But she can't just let him drown!

And she can't save him while she's just a duck. She can't. She can't do anything unless she's Princess Tutu. So when she sees the pendant floating in the water in front of ( Read more... )
