    Summary

    When Tim read Ella Enchanted for the first time, a lot of things had made sense. Not the whole fairy gift thing, or ogres or dead mothers or evil stepmother, but the curse of obedience fell into place quite well. Tim did not mean that figuratively.

     

    Tim has a curse. It's always been like that, since he was a small child. Things change, and fast, when Jason finds out, promising to help. Tim doesn't know what to think. And sometimes, Jason enjoys his obedience a bit too much.

    Summary

    "Bro, you know how many words I wrote per day, and how many plants I created!” Shang Qinghua whines. "I can't remember them all, it's impossible."

    Shen Qingqiu narrows his eyes. "It was used with Wife #418.”

    "That doesn't narrow it down any further. I'm not going to be able to guess it, so stop punishing me and just tell me how the flower nerfed you."

    Shen Qingqiu grits his teeth. Obviously he wants to draw this out to punish Shang Qinghua, but it kinda looks more like he's punishing himself. There's a muscle flexing in his jaw, and if he puts any more pressure on his fan's guard, it's going to snap. Uh, actually, Shen Qingqiu kind of looks like he's in pain—

    “A false dragonhead is also called an obedient plant. It’s in the name—the flower forces you to do whatever you're told," Shen Qingqiu spits out.

    or: Shen Qingqiu runs afoul of one of Airplane's stupid wife-plot devices...just before a mission to Jinlan City.

    Summary

    “This drink, the mage made it. It is going to make you a good boy,” she brushed back his hair, too long nails trailing along his cheek. “But you cannot tell anyone. You cannot tell a soul about this drink or this spell. You don’t talk about it. You keep it secret.”

     

    Julian opened his mouth to ask more and was hit by a pain he had never experienced. The boy cried out in pain and doubled over, arm wrapping around his screaming middle. His mother shushed him and pet at him until he was able to catch his breath.

     

    “See what happens to naughty little boys who don’t listen?” Her voice was sharp. “I told you not to say anything.”

    --

    Jaskier was cursed with obedience as a child and has mostly learned to get by without others knowing. Geralt is not most people.

    Summary

    Maybe this isn’t the awful thing it feels like. Perhaps whatever lingers in his blood that overrides his control is something intended to help, to make him better.

    The thought doesn’t alleviate any of the terror that still swirls behind his ribcage, threatens to spill over and sink its icy teeth into his bones — but it’s something he clings to, nonetheless. He’ll figure it out, and stop it, and in the meantime it could be a good thing. He hasn’t figured out how to apologise, yet — but the logical first step would be to keep them happy, make sure he stays in their good graces and doesn’t do anything to further aggravate them.

    He doesn’t like the idea, but if this — thing, this compulsion helps to make him more palatable, more tolerable and easier to be around, perhaps he’ll be allowed to stay long enough to make it up to them. He might be able to turn it into a good thing before he finds out how to end it, before it wears off. He’ll just wait it out.

    J. Daniel Atlas ends up cursed, he thinks. It takes a while for the others to notice. In the meantime, he tries to stay sane. It's surprisingly difficult when your mind isn't your own, anymore.

    Summary

    “Tell me who you are.”

    He almost said Peerless Cucumber but the words brought a tingle to his throat. That was his stupid online handle, not an identity Shen Qingqiu claimed for himself, but why would that be an issue? Yet, he couldn’t physically say it. Instead, his lips formed around the truth. “Shen…”

    FUCK! Shen Qingqiu still couldn’t move but his mouth had mostly free reign. He bit his tongue hard enough to draw blood to stop the Qingqiu from coming out.

    What the fuck. How was it that he almost confessed to his identity as Luo Binghe’s deceased scum shizun right in his face?!

    or: the mushroom body's DNA is accidentally spliced with a wife-plot plant. Shen Qingqiu has to deal with this and try to survive being Luo Binghe's guest at Huan Hua Palace.

    Summary

    All folktales passed between selkies marked humans out to be liars and deceivers, people who could weave words into something convincing and sweet enough that the selkie wouldn't know it was a trap until their pelt was already taken. And then once the deed was done, they'd forever be trapped in a life away from the ocean, forced to obey their husband-master's every whim as their bride.

    Which was part of Missa's justification for even being where he was now- perched behind a rock a little ways from the shore, and keeping a single human in his sights while doing his best to stay hidden.

    By far the stupidest thing he'd ever done, had ever continued to do, but he found he couldn't quite help himself.

    Summary

    “Alright.” Ito leans forward just a little. Her eyes seem to spark, just for a moment, but Izuku figures he’s just imagining it. “You say you need to work on control. Start like this, Midoriya: do what they tell you.”
    +
    +
    Or: Midoriya finds himself the victim of an obedience quirk. The situation does not improve from there.

    Summary

    “Which one? I’ve already met my soulmates, which one are you claiming to have?”
    “Not one you’ve met,” the other one said. “Some kid bard. Got the same mark though: three wolves and a cat in a field of flowers.”
    He wasn’t lying.

    Or: Jaskier's soulmark causes him quite a bit of trouble before he even meets his soulmates. And poor Eskel is just trying to get through the year, without having to worry about a soulmate he didn't know he had, and the bandits that captured him.

    Summary

    “I, a demon of the second circle, have been summoned before you, Charles Rowland, to serve you for a year and a day. During this year and a day, I must obey your every order to the best of my ability and with no intent to kill, harm, trick, inconvenience, or otherwise wish ill upon you. When our year and a day has concluded, ownership of your soul will fall to me, whereupon I am obligated to drag you to the appropriate level of Hell. That would be Lust, for the uninformed, which I highly suspect you are,” the demon finishes.

    Charles takes all that in for a second, grappling with the idea that if Pain isn’t lying, then Charles is set to spend the rest of a very long eternity in Hell.

    Crystal is gonna fucking kill him.

    Summary

    Essek is shaking once he’s sat there for twenty minutes. He’s thirsty. He wants to walk over to the jug of cold water on the table by the door. He needs to get up. He can’t.
    He won't cry. It’s stupid to cry over this. 
    Verin gurgles.
    “I hate you.” Essek curls his fingers around his elbows. “I hate you. I hate you.”

    For as long as Essek can remember, he has been cursed to obey. He has managed, in his own way, to mitigate the consequences of the curse while pursuing his academic and personal desires. It is only after being commanded to act as a guide for the Mighty Nein that it becomes a true complication.

    Summary

    Stephanie Lauter has been cursed since she was eleven years old. Obedience cursed, specifically. Which is fucked enough up on its own, without even acknowledging the fact that it was absolutely her dad who did the cursing.
    It's fine. (Well... no. It's not. But you already knew that.) She's gotten good at loopholes, and work arounds, and dealing with it.
    And, after six years of loophole-finding-working-around-dealing-with-it all on her own, the last person she expected to find solidarity with is Peter fucking Spankoffski.
