As long as Varian can remember, he has had to do whatever people tell him to do. (Varian-centric Ella Enchanted AU of Varian and the 7 Kingdoms, written in a 5+1 Format)

This is my take on the idea of a Varian spin-off series of Tangled: The Series/Rapunzel's Tangled Adventure. The AU was presented to Disney by storyboarders Kay Ritter and Anna Lencioni who took a liking to Varian's character and decided to create a story for him in his later years; detailing the adventures he might go on and the friends he makes along the way. I'll likely take a lot of inspiration from other fans too and I think that's what's great about vat7k, we all inspire each other with our ideas! :) This is probably gonna be a long one, hope you enjoy!!

"Can't Catch Me Now" is a heart-pounding thriller that pulls you into a world of terror, twisted memories, and a bond that could save-or destroy-two young souls. After a catastrophic building collapse and flood, Augustine Orlov and Winnie Bosko wake up in a nightmarish labyrinth, trapped once again in a coma eerily similar to the one they experienced two years ago. The labyrinth isn't just a maze of walls-it's a prison of their own making, forcing them to confront the darkest parts of themselves. Haunted by the monstrous Ursine Stag and tormented by whispers from the past, every step they take feels like it might be their last. As they struggle to escape, they are relentlessly pursued by the Stag, a creature that feeds on their fear and memories. With each new challenge, they uncover the horrific echoes of their past trauma, echoing the events of the previous coma that nearly shattered them. As the maze twists and turns, Augustine and Winnie's bond deepens. Augustine, always the protector, grapples with emotions he's tried to suppress, while Winnie, the more carefree of the two, finds herself falling into the terrifying reality of their situation. Together, they must fight not only for survival but for each other as they confront the ghosts of their past and the unrelenting dangers of the maze. In "Can't Catch Me Now," survival is only the beginning. In a labyrinth where nothing is as it seems, Augustine and Winnie must face the horrors of their past, the creature stalking them, and the undeniable pull between them. Racing against time and against their own fears, they must escape the maze-and the haunting coma that threatens to pull them under once again.

Long ago, a thief became a gravedigger and met a strange blue eyed man.
