Enchantress

Short description: Hélène and Natasha meet and Natasha is both frightened and intrigued by Hélène's beauty.

About: Based on War and Peace, but specifically the musical adaptation of it, Great Comet. Not going to be plotted out or necessarily that well-written, just a fun little dump for my ideas. I'm not exactly sure where this story will go, Natasha and Hélène might have a healthy and great relationship, but most likely, it will be more of a manipulative one. Also, this is supposed to be a romance, I guess, but it might stray into others things, since this will kind of just be a dump for all my Great Comet ideas. Who knows, it might end up being about Balaga the troika driver's backstory, idk! (Also, mainly Natasha and Hélène, but don't be alarmed if there's some Marya/Hélène, Natasha/Marya, or Sonya/Natasha thrown in there cuz why not ;) (Don't worry Sonya's adopted, she's not actually Natasha's cousin...)

Note: If you haven't read War And Peace or listened to Great Comet, the story will still (hopefully) make sense, but you might miss occasional references to the musical.

Here's a quick rundown of all the characters in (mostly) the musical's words to help: Old Prince Bolkonsky is crazy and Mary is plain. Andrey's family is totally messed-up. And Balaga is just there for fun. Dolokhov is fierce, but not too important. He's Anatole's friend, a crazy good shot. Hélène is a slut and Anatole's sister married to Pierre. Anatole is hot and he spends his money on women and wine. Marya is old-school, the grand dame of Moscow. She's Natasha's godmother, strict, yet kind. Sonya is good, Natasha's cousin and closest friend. Natasha is young and she loves Andrey with all her heart. Finally, Pierre is bewildered and awkward and always having an existential crisis.
