Just Prompts: Fairy Tales (9/26 -- 10/9)

[clockwork_doc]

What’s your favorite Fairy Tale? Why?

Anyone who knows me knows I take a very dim view of faeries and the like these days. They’re NOT how they’re portrayed in most of these stories. If a Fae takes a liking to you, what you want to do is run. Not that it’ll help. . . .

Of course, given that I’m stuck in an alternate reality, perhaps I’m being unfair. Anyone want to give me examples of more pleasant, Disney-like Fae?

(And if you must know, as a child I was fond of “Sleeping Beauty.” I always wondered if someone could really sleep a hundred years without aging. Makes me wonder now if some Fae tried it)

. . . Well, the Victorian stories will never fool me again, that's for sure.

And you'll never take me alive again

I should hope not, Doctor. You're much too old to clap your hands and believe, after all.

Practically a heap of rusting parts, in fact. I won't have to take you alive--I'll simply wait until you fall apart where you're standing and then sell you for scrap.
