Reply to comment by Thetallerestpaul in [WP] Legend has it, the princess waits for her beloved prince who never returned from war. The princess is seen waiting every day where they used to meet secretly, a lake now known as the Lake of Longing, with only her attendant at her side. As her attendant though, you know the story differently. by salmontail

This is so good! Is this based on PTSD suffered by war veterans or something different and more on fantasy based? Because thats what im getting from the whole "he's been different ever since the war" vibes

Based on trauma, yeah, but then kicked up a level in the fantasy land where it's not the person that has been damaged by the experience, but a whole new thing has replaced them.

I got Doppler/shapeshifter vibes.

For a moment I thought you were going to write in the Frog Prince twist.
