As the summer sun rises and the 1812 London Season returns in full swing, there will be more than one man seeking Cressie's favour, and more than one snake in the grass to be wary of. Danger lurks, intentions are hidden, and affairs begin as only one question can be asked. Can love really conquer all?

Neither of them foresaw that it would be twelve years until they would meet again. A lot has changed in that time, and their lives are vastly different. Adam became a gentleman, and everything that the heir to a Dukedom ought to be. Grace remained in Ashwood and became a housemaid to support her family. But as their lives intertwine once more, their childhood promise bubbles to the surface, throwing their lives, the lives of their families, and the village of Ashwood into chaos.

They will only bring her pain. But Belle never counted on meeting a young man by the name of Peter Denham, who is about to challenge her in all the right ways, and who could quite possibly change her life. But there is one problem. Belle is concealing a very dangerous secret, one that could spell deadly trouble for the both of them.

At three and twenty, Lady Susanna Beresford is at dire risk of being considered an old maid, though she is determined that nothing but the deepest love will incline her to marry, a fact that deeply vexes her mother. As the season closes in 1810 and Susanna prepares to return home to Hertfordshire unattached, she meets the very man who will indeed change her life forever. A man whom high society would deem inappropriate and forbidden based on the very colour of his skin. But there is more to this man than meets the eye, and their meeting sets in motion a series of events that will undoubtably change society as they know it forever.

As they navigate a marriage of convenience, jealousy, betrayal, old lovers, and the fear of being second best all pose dangerous threats to an already shaky relationship ...

《COMPLETE》The TROS ending we never got! The sparse remnants of the Resistance that fled from Crait slowly rebuild, hiding away from the First Order. Rey, accompanied by Poe and Finn, float from system to system attempting to stealthily recruit new rebels to their force aboard the Millenium Falcon. Kylo Ren has been sworn in as the Supreme Leader of the First Order, under the doubtful watch of General Hux, and assigns the Knights of Ren to acquire Rey. The Force continues to open the bond between him and Rey... linking them at their loneliest hours. WARNING: This is one hell of a slow burn. #1 STARWARS (04/10/2020) #1 REYLO (11/06/2019)(03/17/2020) #1 THE LAST JEDI (11/06/2019) #1 BEN SOLO (07/04/2020) **Authors Note** Please vote on chapters that are going well! It helps guide me in what interests an audience. First few chapters started out a little short, but I hit a much better stride after finding my voice around Chapters 6-8. I will end up re-editing the beginning once it is complete - it's my first official fanfiction so please be kind and constructive with criticism, this is more freeform and I'm incredibly rusty on Star Wars lingo and lore.

After Crait, the Resistance is all but decimated. It will take time before they regain the strength and numbers to be anything more than an annoyance to the First Order. In the meanwhile, the Force bond between Rey and the new Supreme Leader not only continues but grows. They begin to be able to see one another's surroundings, touch things... and as the bond grows, so does their relationship. Mutual distrust becomes begrudging acceptance. Then a strange sort of friendship. And then... well... ;) Post TLJ Reylo fanfic; VERY Rey/Ben centric; will focus almost exclusively on times when the bond brings them together; A VERY patient slow burn that devotes a lot of time to character development. COMPLETE.
