I would read this at novel length.
I attempted to write a Buttercup romance once. (I had to pull in Morwen from the Enchanted Forest Chronicles, because the only other women in the movie are the Witch and the toothless woman who yells, "Bow to her!") But I ran aground because of Buttercup's passivity. I wonder if this would solve the problem.
