In Thronecoming they just stepped into each others stories - there was never any implication all the characters could/would end up following a destiny, accidently or otherwise (not that I saw at least).

Once again, to me at least, it did suggest that anyone can be one of the characters in those stories though, aka, Ashlynn was no more a perfect Cinderella than Cupid - birth was the only thing that picked Ashlynn. TBH Thronecoming is my favourite special and this makes me wanna go watch it again.
