Dance of a Thousand

Noel Gruber is a prince who never finds himself satisfied with the basic means of a life in the 1400s, but how could he be? He’s an outcast, and his kingdom is basically in ruins.Misha Bachynskyi is the last of his bloodline, and he’s been shipped away to another country that wants to marry him off. He hates them, but every girl wants him and thinks that he has it made living in one of the continent’s richest offerings. Why can’t he express his own wants, needs, and opinions?What happens when two trapped boys accidentally swoop each other off of their feet?… literally.If they can tolerate each other, will they be able to tolerate the changes that come with it all?This is a Kingdom AU (Alternate Universe).

Hi everyone!!! This is my first multi chapter! Oh my goodness!! I’m super excited to be here with you guys! A few things first before we start, just so we’re on the same page.If you don’t know me, I’m Emmanuel (Noel for short) or Finn. I use any pronouns.I absolutely adore Nischa and I’m not a new member of the RTC community. In fact, I’m an avid (or rather religious) Seddiefan11 reader and I just couldn’t see Noel’s mother as anyone but Claudia because of that, so I borrowed that. However, I did rename Mischa’s adoptive parents.You may notice that how I spell Mischa fluctuates!! This is because I’m an active Ukraine lover and supporter, and I know that many Ukrainians MUCH prefer the proper Ukrainian spelling, Misha. However, I also like to respect the directors of the musical, because Mischa is named after their deceased Ukrainian friend with the same exact name and spelling.This is a beta launch!! I work alone, so bear with me. And, if it’s not obvious, this isn’t entirely time period accurate! Showing as much skin as the girls do would be considered like… witchery, homosexuality would be SEVERELY punished and not at all tolerated, and supportive kingdoms? Hah! Noel cross dressing would be a HUGE no, and obv these rulers and kingdoms are silly and have NEVER existed.Originally this was supposed to be a one shot, but I just kept coming up with too many plot ideas. If I kept it a one shot, it would end up at about 20k just for the basis of the beginning to the climax. I’ve barely made it to the two of them meeting, and the word count here is 10k! Woah! Plus I just keep brewing more ideas, so… a multichap seems fitting.The CHARACTER count here is 56k if you guys read these things! IdkA little random, but I’m keeping Noel’s main outfit piece a bit vague because I want the color and design to be a surprise, but to be honest I just want you guys to have creative freedom. The color is decided, but do what you want. Design your own sleeves and base! I keep changing the design in my own mind, so I want you guys to have fun too. I’m not sure if I’ll decide in the next chapter or not. By the way!! Ricky will also become mute in the future, don’t worry!TWs// Mentions of sickness, death, brief mentions of homophobia, and nausea/vomiting.Comments and Kudos are ALWAYS a God send, but not required!
