Roman Sanders One-shots

Original Fairytales

Pft, me, expressing my passion for the old fairytales? What gave you that idea?

T/W: Attempted murder, implied sex (Don't worry, it doesn't happen to Roman)

Roman was not as Netflix kids and family as Patton and the others would've liked. He had a 'potty' mouth as Patton called it.

He also read the original fairytales, no matter how gory or how long or even how spicy. But he didn't want to think the split was for nothing, so he only read it in private. Usually when he was alone in the kitchen, half reading and half cooking or in the Imagination's landscape.

Sometimes he found he enjoyed the original stories, but others made him feel slightly thankful Disney happened to take them and tamed them.

He found it interesting on how the Evil Queen tried three times to kill Snow, it showed how crafty she was. From the strangling with a corset, the poisoned comb and the poisoned apple, she never gave up on her goal. She was tricky in the terms of eating an un-poisoned side of an apple and the giving the poisoned side to Snow.

Some stories, like Sleeping Beauty, made him feel icky. He hadn't read all the variations, but the one he had read consisted of mistreatment of the poor girl and being...used...by the king although she was sleeping.

The only person that he'd talked to about it was Remus, but that'd been years ago. Remus had resorted in showing his 'love' in more violent and less peaceful ways.

Roman would go to Logan, but Logan would deem the discussion random and out of character.

He couldn't go to Patton, because Patton would know that he wasn't a perfect Disney prince.

He knew he wouldn't be able to talk to Virgil or Thomas without them being surprised or sarcastic about it.

He was not really in the mood for talking to Janus.

He couldn't talk with Remus for obvious reasons.

So he shared it with his creations, shared it during friendly spars between Elphaba and him and through tea parties with Mariel. Because he wasn't technically real, they were as real as he was.

He wished he could rant and rave and gush about them in videos, but the fandom would find it a random trait that had popped into his character.

So his love for the original tales went undercover and unnoticed.

Maybe if his fear for rejection wasn't so bad he'd have expressed it earlier on.

But, alas, he could not.

So he hid them until it was time for quests.

Maybe he would talk about them one day, but not today or not next week.
