[Puppet AU]

Tentatively formally titled "No More Strings", this is a more horror-centric AU (though with some urban fantasy elements). This folder mainly exists for internal organization, but any tab of the main cast labelled 'puppet au' belongs here.

The story follows three initially separate plots that eventually intersect.

In one, Ena is in the middle of an investigation when she gets kidnapped by a corrupt 'theater' group that uses live people as marionettes for their shows and forces them to perform dangerous or painful acts for the amusement of the audience. In this group is also Kadri, Sulfur, Anise, and Aurelie, and they have to work together to escape.

Elsewhere, Euphranor is a street musician who, through various circumstances, gets dragged into a rebellion against the corrupt government by Fiera and Lucia. 

Taliesin and Aine, meanwhile, run a shop together. But when their criminal past comes back to haunt them, they kidnap Cider, who has a unique power they think could save them.
