Oho? I really love that!
Mine actually work a bit different (quite a lot actually, especially near the end), but I also love yours.
The ending is bittersweet, but still have room for future happy ending. I want happy endings.
You can definitely use it as a background lore for your own Rapunzel Idia AU. While I don't fully know about that AU of yours, may I share little ideas of how they (Floyd and Riddle) get together and even what happen afterwards the whole event of this?
Ok, let's start with what happens to Riddle after he partway with Floyd:
It start with the Queen lead him to room not far from her own. The old Queen was so gentle towards Riddle. Just like you said, she has no family. Her husband and child die during a war many years ago, leaving her alone to rule the Queendom. The doctor was the one that take care of her during the worst moments of her life. They had know each other for years, for the doctor's family has always served the royal family for generations. She do see him as her own younger brother.
Riddle in all but blood, is the next heir of the Queendom. Despite all of her abuse, Mrs Roseheart do taught Riddle politics beside medicine and other knowledges. Meaning Riddle is actually quite knowledgeable and fit to become a ruler.
Anyway, the Queen then lead him to the room. In there stood a middle aged man with rose colored hair. Despite the wrinkles around his eyes, you could still see the youth of his face. A face that quite resemble Riddle's more feminine one.
It was his father, whisper the Queen to Riddle's ear.
Just imagine the teary reunion between them after the Queen told the doctor (who has been refusing to left his room for years now unless the Queen need to be checked for her health).
Riddle then get more educations in order to prepare him to be the next ruler of the Queendom. During that time he meet Trey and Che'nya, both who has reunited with their own families. Riddle at first was afraid to meet them again, let alone their families. For he still believe that he was at fault for them losing many years to live a normal live. But neither of them, nor their families, ever hate Riddle. Because they know, especially after the whole thing during Floyd's supposed execution, that he was also another victim of the wicked witch.
Also, I imagine after Riddle became a King (or Queen, based on the Queendom's law), he declared that Floyd is free of all charges again him, at least in the Queendom, because of his actions back then.
Well, no one can disagree with him :3
Also, during that time, he meet Cater, Ace, and Deuce. All of them, along with Trey and Che'nya, became his personal guards and jester/advisor. With them he learnt how to become a great ruler. Also, with Cater's help, he tried to follow any news about Floyd and his friends. Hoping and still believe that they would reunited again one day.
And they did. Maybe after the whole journey of Idia. Or maybe, should you make Riddle the sun drop, after a whole fiasco that then lead Riddle and co to them, reunited Riddle and Floyd once more but in adventure much more insane than before.
Maybe after this all Riddle try to create peace between human and mermaids. He tried to show everyone that mermaids are just like them, just different in appearance. He also was the first ruler, and make his Queendom to be the first country that accept mermaids into their land.
The reason is because Riddle want to be with Floyd forever and more and get their happy ending. Not to mention, for him, he hasn't paid his payment yet for all of Floyd's help.
:0 that's a noice continuation...
For my Idia rapunzel au, there is a lot of lore, but much more faithful to the tangled series lore... with the exception that Idia cannot heal, but just boost one's magic. Also summon magic rocks. His hair was long because he couldn't cut it with anything, just like the rocks he summons. His bringing to the tower was done under the pretext that he killed his brother(which later proved to be fake), so he never intended to leave in fear that he would accidentally kill someone again.
Again, imma go under a cut :'3
Riddle training and becoming king while Floyd is gone sounds like something that would absolutely be brought in once they do meet again. :'3
And the rest of the hearts family <3
Cater could've been the son of a merchant, just to get him to have some connections and knowledge outside the queendom itself. Hence he is the most trusted by Riddle when it comes to outside information and handling matters that involve negotiating with the other kingdoms. If Floyd were to ever step foot back in here, Cater will know immediately.
Riddle's goal is peace throughout diplomacy. The queendom of roses was flourishing on it's own, so he didn't want to put a worry over possibilities of war, as such, striking peace with the neighbor kingdoms was most likely his go to, which also includes the mers as the queendom had to have some opening to the sea. It would probably mark it off as the first kingdom to start as a completely peaceful state. :v
But if we do extend it with the idipunzel au... then it gets messy :'3
Firstly, Idia himself would be expected to first make peace with the mers since later on, Malleus asks for marriage and as such, Azul is a mer, who ends up marrying into the royalty of the said kingdom. But Ortho's officially the crowned prince and the one who inherents the throne, as such, Idia's crowning comes off as important only for the royal family. The whole load of plans is rocked tho, when Malleus is found by the fae kingdom and he is forced to go there and settle the previous 'engagement' he was set up to, engagement that Malleus himself had to call off before running away in shame. (This is how he meet and became indebted to Azul for helping him run away)
With this, Idia has to go with Malleus and Azul to the fae kingdom, of course via Azul's crew. That's also how they go to the queendom, as Azul initially left his ship there, for his crew to make some trading. His ship later was taken by the queendom authorities(before Riddle came to the capital altogether), hence they needed to go there and negotiate for that ship.
Cue meeting in between Riddle and Floyd, even if Azul was there to negotiate for the ship. Of course, Riddle gave them back the ship with no hassle. He was just happy that Floyd came back.
But he again had to leave. Not wanting to be separated again, Floyd offers for Riddle to join their lil adventure, under the pretext that if Malleus takes over his status as heir to the fae throne, they could strike an alliance, especially since the fae empire was a force to be reckoned with.
Cue hearts gang joining in on the adventure. A lot of shenanigans on the sea and so much chaos. :3
I guess that's all I have... the brain juices are done for now :'3

I have ideas yet no motivation to write but hear me out
Bot/con of your choise x reader
There is a bot/con stranded on Earth, alone and injured, they barely have the strength to pull themselves the safety of a cave not too far from where they crashed, animals evacuating the are as quickly as they could. They loose consiousness, thinking this'd be the last thing they see but one day, after the years have taken their toll on the bot/con, their optics finally flicker back on, light so dim the creature infront of them could barely tell the difference, and the same as them, the large alien couldn't tell what was infront of them.
The human did what they could, using whatever they had to connect or seal the cut wiring, mend the torn metal, doing what they could to stop the bleeding, cleaning away the rust, caring for this stranger the best they knew how to. It wouldn't heal the bot/con, but it'd keep them alive, that was enough for both of them
Till one day, they are found. The bot/con carried away to safety by allies who wonder how they could still live, what has been caring for their injured friend, and the human has to come back to an empty cave with no sign of their injured friend.
They couldn't move on their own, not far anyway.
So, had another human found them?
Judging by the size of the foot steps on the ground, no.
They were alone, their friend taken away to who knows where, who knows if they'd ever see one another again, who knows if they were even on the same planet.
All they had was the hope that whoever had found them could heal what the couldn't
