me: I want my OTP to live together in love, peace and prosperity for a long, long time
me: and maybe a fluffy fanvid is a good way to celebrate the holidays?
also me: *starts another angsty project where true love's kiss doesn't cure the sleeping curse*

Guess who had finally got tired of waiting for a decent rip of Interlude in Prague and decided to go with whatever we have at the moment? (If anyone knows where to find a good rip - oh please, tell me!)
Aneurin is beautiful beyond expression in this film - XVIII century is definitely my kind of aesthetics, and the character's vivacity and amiability were nice (yet adultery is highly disgusting anyway, so I didn't actually feel sorry for the character X_X). Can't say I liked the film, though. Nevertheless, let's skip the part about all the "why is this even Mozart" pains and go straight to the fancast.

When I had first discovered Aneurin was to play Mozart, I instantly thought about Forte from Beauty and the Beast: The Enchanted Christmas (this guy! [ Ссылка ]) - because it's not like I have much of a crossover choice while Sarah continues to ignore the existence of costume dramas. My perception of Forte is slightly complicated - I don't exactly like this character, but I like what could've been made of him if he was a part of something better than another Disney moneymaking sequel. Tim Curry performed great, as always, and the music&genius theme is usually appreciated by me, so Forte is interesting despite all the "look, he's mad and evil" base; but I've always wanted to see a kinder version of Forte. Maybe someone he had been long before the fatal events at Adam's castle.
And at some point - years ago - I thought that Forte/Aurora pairing could actually work really well. Because one (main, perhaps X____X) of the reasons why Aurora is my favourite Disney princess is her "musical" side. She is the best voice of Disney for me, and Forte literally was a personification of the most majestic musical instrument.

Then there was Bolger!Aurora, yet OUaT ignored the music completely.
And then there was Interlude in Prague that somehow rekindled my desire to try and develop the idea of Forte/Aurora.
So here we are, with a story about a young composer, a gentle princess and a curse that can't be broken even by the true love. Also, Christmas. A very horrible Christmas.

I know it looks more like a video about yet another OCs (or like Wolfgang/Mary, heh) - and such interpretation is totally welcome, too. But I hope somebody here understands my "let's reimagine Forte" thing :D And I like the sleeping-curse-comes-through-the-thorn-of-a-rose version of Sleeping Beauty much better than the one with the spindle.
Angsty angst, no happy end (I'd like to make one, truly, but Sarah's clips didn't allow me to T_T). No prince Phillip included, obviously, if I wanted a story about him, I would just make another Barnard!Phillip video.
