Matchmaking Annux

Summary:

Yet another Queen's Thief Billy Joel song parody

Eugenides Eugenideides, by the will of the Great Goddess, King of Attolia, and by his oath to his god now and for his life Thief of Eddis, takes on the challenge of matchmaking for two fellow monarchs who aren't quite ready to burden the object of their affections by declaring their emotions. It takes a lot of singing to help them overcome their reticence.

Featuring they/them Helen (our favorite gender nonconforming Queen) and inferiority complex Sophos. You'll have to imagine the outfits involved yourself.

Work Text:

(To be sung to the tune of "Tell Her About It" by Billy Joel)

Listen bunny, I don't wanna see you let a good thing slip away (slip away)
You know I don't like watching anybody make the same mistakes I made
They're a real strong queen and they're always there for you
But a strong queen can't just tell you that they need you.

Oh, listen Sophos, I'm sure that you think you got it all under control
You don't want somebody tellin' you the key to someone's soul
You're a new king now and you want to take take things slow (you know you'll never let this go)
But you really ought to tell them before you go.

Tell them about it, tell them everything you feel!
Give Helen every reason to accept that you're for real!
Tell them about it, tell them they're always in your dreams.
Let them know you're waiting, let them know how much that means.

Ooh-ooh
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh

Listen friend, you're scared cause you know that your crown's not guaranteed,
To ensure your worth, you think you've got to be completely problem-free.
When you love someone, you're always insecure
And there's only one good way to be reassured.

Tell them about it! Let them know just what you fear!
Now that you've got to leave here, tell them you wish you were theirs.
Tell them about it, on the steps before you leave.
Sure things might look dicey, but they'll know just what you mean.

'Cause now and then they get to worrying
Because you just proposed and then were gone.
And though you may still feel the same way
Do they have any confirmation you're moving along?

Listen Cuz, here's some good information from a King who's made mistakes:
Just a word or two on a page from you could be the difference that it takes
He's a trusting soul, he's put his trust in you (you know he put his trust in you)
But a guy like him won't tell you what you should do.

Tell him about it! Tell him everything you feel!
Give him every reason to accept that you're for real.
Tell him about them, tell him your volcano dreams!
Let him know why you need this, let him know just what this means.

Tell them about it!
Tell him how you feel right now.
Now that you're reunited
It's the time to make some vows!
You got to tell them about it,
Tell each other now, don't wait too long!
You got to tell them about it
Before it gets too late!
You've got to tell each other about it,
You know the Peninsula just can't wait!
You got to tell him about it!
You got to tell, tell, tell them about it!
Now, tell each other about it!
Woo, woo
