A Masque for Dreaming

Pairings/Characters: Mildain, Cecilia
Warnings: eh. Spoilers for character endings, I suppose. Mildain is a spoilery character.

Notes: herein my lofty ambitions take a nosedive. Two things:

a) I take liberties with food cultivation and origin.

b) when I say "masque," I mean a production more like a play than a dance ball. I suppose that might've happened too, as it would in this scenario if I took it that far, but what I have in mind is the "political and social application of ... allegory" mentioned here and not shown AT ALL in the fic. :D Oh word limits~

Applying Gauntlet theme 4 - only dreamers destroy themselves, though it fits the original idea more than the result.


( The first thing Mildain does when he takes the throne is undercut his own authority. )
