Travesty! AU, reconfigured Howl's Moving Castle!AU (and bits of fantasy references from all over the place)

Bound as a decorated e since adolescence, Chen is an exorbitant sample of Nodame's wealth, a heady taste of its fortune. Taught to embody the grace and decorum of the aristocracy, but by no means the detachedness of royalty, Chen feeds each beautiful misrepresentation of the Capital with the easy intimacies of his body.

Jongdae only wishes to wake alone in his bed, to be greeted by nothing but the open air and the light throwing itself off the sea spray, highlighting little strips of his plain linen sheets, casting the dust particles into clear relief. Chen is a Travesty, Jongdae is just a child. 

The day Jongdae is cursed to fast-foward through seventy years of life, news of Howl's appearance around the Capital spreads like wildfire. Determined to spend at least his old age in freedom, Jongdae leaves the now empty House to seek out the Magician because, really, life was now an adventure and he had nothing much to lose.
