I glare at him, yanking at the bonds. He laughs softly. "Oh princess, you're so delicate. Do not struggle, we wouldn't want you to break, would we?" He whispers. I snarl at him but he's right, I'm sick and weak at the moment and the cold rain isn't helping matters. I turn away, coughing and choking on blood, but swallow it quickly, not wanting anyone to know my state. He smirks slightly. "Why are you so cruel?" I ask curious at his behavior. In the Castle I was kept away from the outside world by my parents, who told me of the dangers that lurk in it. However the servants and the cooks, who lived outside the protective wall of the Castle, always seemed like good people. "Cruel," he scuffs. "I am not cruel. Your kind is. Sitting in your castle, while families starve, homes burned to the ground because the blasted taxes are too high to pay. Cruelty, my dear Princess, is a word you and your family are all too familiar with." His words felt like a slap in the face. He can not be speaking truth. The kingdom loves my parents and they would never allow their people to starve. #384 in Historical Fiction 3/27, #361 in Historical Fiction 3/28, #312 in Historical Fiction 3/30, #291 in Historical Fiction 4/8, #287 in Historical Fiction 4/9, #285 in Historical Fiction 4/10, #265 in Historical Fiction 4/24, #256 in Historical Fiction 5/7, #225 in Historical Fiction 5/13. #218 in Historical Fiction 5/15, #119 in Historical Fiction 5/17, #112 in Historical Fiction 5/26, #95 in Historical Fiction 5/27, #83 in Historical Fiction 5/31, #67 in Historical Fiction 6/1, #53 in Historical Fiction 6/15, #26 in Historical Fiction 6/23, #20 in Historical Fiction 6/25, #16 in Historical Fiction 6/26, #13 in Historical Fiction 7/2, #10 in Historical Fiction 7/8, #5 in Historical Fiction 7/10, #12 in Historical Fiction 9/2, #13 in Historical Fiction 9/4, #7 in Historical Fiction 9/5, #5 in Historical Fiction 9/6, #7 Historical Fiction 1/8

"I hate you too," Adrien whispered back at me, his arms wrapped around my waist, pulling me closer to him, and a dashing smile plastered across his face. "Why do we have to do this?" I asked as his face came closer to mine. "Because our parents said so.

When the most famous jewel of Paris suddenly goes missing, everyone points the blame at the all-known-famous-masked criminal, Chat Noir. Marinette, a new officer recruited from England, is immediately assigned onto a new case on the first day of her new job in Paris- the case of Paris' missing jewel. As their paths unexpectedly cross, Chat Noir discovers that there's more to life than a life of thieving. Deciding to join the side of the good, Chat Noir and Marinette will work together to uncover the mysterious thief who has taken Paris' most prized possession. ~~~ "You didn't really take it did you?" She asked, her eyes softening at his figure.

[OLD] We all know and love the tales of Ladybug and Chat Noir, but what if we explored one of the stories in an alternate universe? One a little more gruesome, a little more brutal, one a little more... bloody? [THIS IS NOT THE NEW ONE & NOT CANNON TO THE AU] Our AU follows a girl named Marinette, who's sick of having to be flawless and perfect all the time, and Adrien, a boy dying to get out of his father's controlling and forceful grasp. When these two meet and start fighting crime together, the perfect concoction of hatred and murder is born, also known as, Ladyblood and Wild Chat. Art on the cover belongs to me. This is a finished story. to see how the characters look, look at my instagram at chats_lady 💖

In this fantasy AU, Zelda is an alchemist hunter. She finds and harvests magical ingredients. (Think... catching a frog in botw, and her fascination with ingredients and their effects.) She also has light magic. Link is a new apprentice to a witch in a nearby village. (He's sort of a mix of Twilight Princess Link, and my own blend of Wild.) First person PoV, Zelda's perspective. Fantasy/Magic Zelink AU, set in my original world. So I can sorta still feel like I'm working on my originals but still getting that sweet zelink I miss writing. Of freaking course it's a romance! I so so miss writing zelink fluff, and I'm so excited to write about them kissing again. There is never enough. Goodness, I'm also pretty hyped about drawing this AU. If I can. Art is hard. Cover drawn by me, Zelda and Link are (c) to Nintendo, as you all know
