Chapter Text

Welcome to Auradon, a unified kingdom comprised of many lands, all under the leadership of His Royal Majesty, High King Adam.

You may know him from his story, Beauty and the Beast.

But have you ever wondered what happened after the last pages of the storybook?

Well, our High King and High Queen were not the only ones who had a life after their happily ever after. Two generations ago, many of these storybook kingdoms were united under one name: Auradon. The divided, smaller kingdoms were experiencing a time of hardship: money was tight, morale was low, and conflicts were high. King Adam (at the time) had an idea to solve this issue.

Why don’t we unite under one name, one crown?

The young king petitioned first with his close counterparts, King Charming and King Philip, who readily accepted their friend’s proposal, instating King Adam as the new High King of Auradon. The new united kingdoms rose to great prosperity, soon roping in their neighbors with trade negotiations and peace treaties that were too promising to pass up.

But not everything was smooth sailing. The outlying kingdoms, the ones High King Adam hardly regarded more than backwoods slums, were not keen on joining forces with this new nation. They wanted to preserve their cultures, their magic, and their livelihoods, even though their populations were starving and desperate.

These kingdoms, the outliers, refused to accept High King Adam’s proposal for unification. Angered by their response and fearful of the magic his kingdom had outlawed years ago, the High King had the Great Wall built between the nation of Auradon and the rest: now the Outer Kingdoms.

A few years passed, and the situation became dire on the northern side of the wall. No trades were made across it, no correspondence besides those allowed by the High King, and most importantly, no money came into the kingdoms. The desperate times only got worse.

King Eric and Queen Ariel were the first to raise their hands in surrender. The other Outer Kingdoms gave in to the High King’s treaty one by one, working northwards until the Kingdom of DunBroch succeeded to the new nations. Seven new kingdom-states were created, and therefore, the Auradon as we know it today.

But all of this happened a generation ago. A new generation has been born, and they are quickly approaching their coronations. This new generation is headed to Auradon Prep by order of the High King, an academy established to instill peaceful relations between the young royalty.
The reigning monarchs are excited for the opportunity their children are receiving. It surely promises bright prospects for Auradon.

That is— if the new generation has the same ideas for a peaceful and prosperous future.

Welcome to Descendants of Auradon, a Stray Kids x Descendants AU!!! My name is T, and this is my first time posting on here (you can find me on Tumblr and Wattpad by the same username). I am so excited to be sharing this work!

You’ll enjoy this story if you love Stray Kids (of course!) and Disney’s Descendants… but sprinkle it with dystopian-style political scheming and college vibes for extra excitement. ;)

I wanted to give some quick background information that will help you navigate this story. This fic will be heavily Jisung, Felix, and Seungmin focused. All eight SKZ members are present in this story, but these three are who the romantic plots will focus on. :) Their characters were inspired by a TikTok I saw by @/hellopixies, so credit to them!

To align with the story world, three original characters were created to be the main narrators of this story. These are Eirá, Rosemarie, and Moira (who you will learn more about soon). These characters’ names and viewpoints are used to guide the story, interacting with SKZ’s characters.

If you desire, you may read the story as is, imagining our three female OCs as just that: original characters. If you prefer, you may imagine yourself as one of our leading OCs! (This is how my friends and I like to enjoy the story lol!) Physical descriptions will be kept to a minimum to make the story as inclusive as possible. Quick disclaimer, these OCs are cisgender females using she/her pronouns, so if you do not feel comfortable “imagining yourself” in such a role, please disregard the explanation above and enjoy the story with only an original character in mind!!

Without further ado… let’s meet our cast of characters!!
