The count of montecristo

I’ve read the book and seen the 2024 movie (which I advise bcs really it’s a masterpiece, and the music is just perfect. Also great found family content), but I’m open to content from any adaptation!

 

 

Tbf, I’ll be happy with anything you create 💜

 

🎭 Bonapartiste Edmond Dantès: When Napoleon comes back for the Hundred Days, republicains assault If Castle to free the prisoners here- among which, Edmond Dantes and Abbé Faria.

 

🎭 Edmond drowns at sea (at any moment of canon ). He escape the adventure… different (transformed into a sea creature / a merman / immortal cursed / saved by a new sea ally? )

 

🎭 Mercedes disagree with ‘the count of montecristo’ poor self care (lack of eating and sleeping ). She decides to do everything in her power to fix that (including low blow ), now matter how much Edmond refuses anything from her hand and denies knowing her.

 

🎭 Edmond’s whole plot get revealed before he can bring it to an end - and the police show up in front of the manor to arrest ‘the count of montecristo’ (Bonus: twist it into a crack fic )

 

🎭 Amnesia. During his arrest, Edmond Dantès takes a blow to his head and loses his memories.

Without them, he is no threat. Without them, there is no reason to send him to If castle anymore.

 

🎭 Winged soulmates Au

Au where everyone is born with wings. The color of your feathers are an indication of the bonds you make throughout life platonic soulmates style. When people get close to each other, the original wing color mixes.

A few of Mercedes primaries are dark blue, like Edmond's. He has a few bright red feathers amidst the blue : Mercedes’ trace on his soul.

After getting arrested, one of Edmond's comforts was the red feathers on his blue wings. Light reached properly the bottom of his cell only a few hours a day for him to see them. As long as Mercedes red was there, he could keep hope to reunite with her.

 

Edmond escapes. He plans his revenge. He searches for Mercedes.

 

Only, when the Count of Montecristo finally sees Mercedes from afar, for the first time again after years in a cell, there isn't a single hint of blue nestled in her scarlet wingspan. There is just Fernand's green.

In order to ensure no one recognise him, Edmond dyes Edmond Dantès’ blue into the Count of Montecristo's black. The count's wings are pure ink, devoid of any trace of color, of any taint from relationships (Edmond will not allow himself such a weakness again). But safely hidden below this black paint… some colors do exist in hiding: from Haydee and André (if only they knew it~ not that Edmond would ever tell them).

The truth, which Edmond doesn't know, is that Mercedes also dyes her feathers. She's been painting her few blue feathers into scarlet for years- because wearing the mark of an arrested man attracted uncomfortable attention, and excited Fernand's jealousy.

 

🎭 Edmond and Abbé Faria manage to escape the prison together. Now, what influence will Faria have on Edmond’s revenge wishes? (And his absurd self care too tbh XD)

 

🎭 Vampire Count of Montecristo

 

🎭 Bonapartiste Edmond Dantès. What if the false accusation signed by Fernand accidentally hit right in the nail, and Edmond had just always been hiding that part of him?

 

🎭 Edmond finds the treasure. He also finds a dragon, because the mythique creatures apparently weren’t all dead.

 

🎭 Edmond should have never been able to swim all the way to the shore when escaping the prison. He should have drowned and died in the tempest.

 

So why didn’t he?

 

🎭 The world is wrong. And we are right.

This is a dangerously addictive game... and one of our favorites.

(But what about when we’re wrong?)

 

🎭 Crack Treated Seriously. Edmond had a plan, he really did. He is not sure where everything went wrong and how his count of Montecristo persona became your friendly neighbour, nor why all the elders of Paris suddenly bring him veggies every morning nagging about his health, but it happened. (To make things worse, he didn’t even have time to enfold the first part of his revenge plan that Danglar is in prison for fraud, Villefort found dead in an alley with its murderer running, and Mercedes officially announced she would divorce Fernand now that Albert was finally old enough).

Or any variant with that ’crack treated seriously, can’t do my revenge bcs karma did it for me before i could move’ vibe.

 

🎭 Mercedes knocks out Edmond so that he cannot go to the duel with Albert (since he apparently intend to die there if he doesn’t kill her son). Thus the duel happen in absentia.

 

🎭 Ghost!Edmond (die hitting rocks during his escape from If castle bcs the jailors threw him ‘too close’, or shot?)

Can be crack as ghost!Edmond go annoy Fernand all day, and angst with him *haunting* in revenge.

 

🎭 As the World is my Enemy, and my Enemy is the World
