This Would Be Shakespeare Does Swan Lake

Previously, I spoke with AgentLeavens about my project Cygnus (aka Siegfried/Odile hatesex) and mentioned that Siegfried had no problem sucking a little dick to get his way. "He's a really fun character! Too bad that didn't show up in lesbian Swan Lake at all. I mean, he and Benno could've been shipped? But that was too 'pair the spares' for me...."
And then I thought.
And realized that I could absolutely write a version of Swan Lake that's Benno/Siegfried + Odile/Odette, about their antics in breaking the curse, getting Siegfried married by his birthday, and still ending up with the people they love at the end of the adventure.
Me: "It would be hilarious and charming and totally not what Queen of Swans should be!"
AgentLeavens: "It's okay. You write fic for your fic all the time."
Me: "...I DO."
