Sleeping Beauty, Again

[mark_asphodel]

Reading about that new "Sleeping Beauty" film, which after all revisits a fairy tale I find endlessly disturbing, makes me want to write some kind of genuinely inverted take on the story.  Something with an active female molesting acting upon a passive/comatose/dead male character.  Just out of sheer perversity, you know?

Suggestions welcome.  It's a burr under the saddle to me at present.

I profess to having a bit of an obsession with fairy tales as a whole (and take incredible delight in seeing them completely inverted), so I'm probably incredibly biased. But that would be something to see. In a rather creepy way.

And on the topic of creepy, why do I see this scenario working out almost disconcertingly well with Lyon and Ephraim? (After her last piece with the two of them, I'm blaming this entirely on raphiael.

Why are these things always my fault? :|

I think, at this point, that most everything I do is somehow related to you,

Yeah, but that would go against the conceit of having the female be the actor/aggressor in this particular re-telling. And Raphi kind of already gave me all the Ephraim squickage I can handle in one calendar year.
