Ivan Bilibin (1876-1942)

The pony era has caught up with me again, I've rewatched two seasons already….. And you know what? I got the idea to portray my favorite characters as different races in this equine setting. And you know, making Palych as a Great Seedling, or rather as Spirit of Raspberry Bushes, was probably one of the best thoughts I ever came up with

/It's not a full-blown pack, of course, because there's basically supposed to be two characters, but in the end I made the decision to just go ahead and make a pack from what I get

"On the grey wolf"

Ivan Tsarevic

Pushkin Museum, Moscow, 1972

Today beat my ass (helping a family member move) and so I finished it with a nice relaxing hot bath and reading...uh Russian fairy tales on my phone. Y'know, like a completely normal human person.

With the La Belle et La Bete double feature still languishing and dying of loneliness due to scheduling issues, we've decided to instead celebrate Valentine's Day with a discussion of which of our favorite relationships within fairytales, myths, and classic literature has stood the test of time, and River's gonna rank them! Who will win? The socialite and the bootlegger? The original catgirl and her immortal beloved (that are technically only public domain in Canada)? The lesbian vampire and her "victim"? The badass ladies of myth who defied Death itself to save their husbands? The princess and young man who need one very good boy's help to save them? The couple with an ending so tragic they spawned the Mid Autumn Festival? The pairing the Goddess of Love tried to tear apart to the point where even Zeus says she's gone too far? The ultimate childhood rivals to lovers? And WHY are there so many cats and dogs in this episode?? Find out on this episode of IER TLDR!  Also there might be a sneak peek to a somewhat belated Retelling the News segment at the end, who knows...

/Actually, it was obvious that Naina was going to be a bat-pony….

“Ivan Tsarevich and the Gray Wolf” is a series of fairytale-inspired fantasy animated comedy movies, which relies on fairytale aspect a little too much, thus the plots are comprised of inconsequent magical solutions too often, and also full of incidental characters that are fun in concept, but rarely make sense in the big picture.

Naina, the involuntary shapeshifter from “Ivan Tsarevich and the Gray Wolf 2” and Nekto (“Somebody”), the magical helper/peddler from “Ivan Tsarevich and the Gray Wolf 4”.

Featuring “The Twelve Chairs” reference, because I had to:)

The Firebird

Pairing: Prince Paul (Catherine the Great) x OFC, Fairytale AU

Summary: When Paul, a spoiled young prince, spots a strange bird in the forest near his palace, he impulsively chases after it, hoping to both escape from and prove himself to his disapproving mother. Thus he is plunged into an exhilarating adventure across a magical realm populated by enchanted princesses, dangerous monsters, and powerful wizards, an adventure that may change him more than he can ever imagine.

Warnings: violence, gore, smut (non-explicit)

Word count: 66.7k

A/N: The real Paul I of Russia was kind of a jerk and came to such a sticky end (assassinated by his own officers) that I couldn’t think of something realistic or historically accurate for him, so I had to put him into an AU. Plus, I’ve always loved Slavic fairy tales/folk tales, and it’s been really fun working them into a fic. This is mostly based on Prince Ivan, the Firebird and the Gray Wolf, but there are elements from other tales as well.

I include a few Russian words for authenticity’s sake. In case the meaning isn’t clear from the text itself, there will be a translation at the bottom of the chapter.

A few notes on the Russian names/pronunciation:

Paul’s full name in Russian, Pavel Petrovich, is used for formal occasions. Pasha and Pavlik are short forms, while Pashenka and Pavlushka are pet names.

The princess’s name, Zhara, is based on the Russian word for fire, Zhar (Жар). “Zh” is pronounced like the “s” in “leisure”, or the French “j”.
