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.

why do I see this scenario working out almost disconcertingly well with Lyon and Ephraim?

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.
