I found this fic sometime last week and it really piqued my interest back into Tutu (which was one of those animes which I wanted to watch, and even had the first disk netflixed, but simply hadn't gotten around to it) so I'd like to say, having just finished the last tragic episode of the series, that I'm so happy you wrote this, because if you hadn't, I probably would have been crying much more harder than I was at the end.
This is, most definitely, how I imagine things would have gone between reality bound Fakir and Ahiru (headcanon FTW! ♥). You portray them both beautifully and they're so spot on- I can just see duck!Ahiru (oh my, that's redundant, isn't it? xD) shooting out of bed in the morning, completely freaking out about being late (though, I would be too, if Neko-sensei was my teacher) and being so terribly embarrassed when she realized where, when and what she was.
And, oh, silly Fakir, locking yourself up because you care. Tsk, tsk, you need to accept that people (&a duck) are going to worry if you do that.
This story has me thinking- what was Ahiru like before Drosselmeyer pulled her into the mess of the town's story? It really isn't normal for ducks to be able to perceive sadness in a lonely prince's heart, is it? And afterwards... she never really would be able to be 'just a duck', too much girl aftertaste adding on to the original not-quite-normal-duckness, I think....
