"For what it's worth, Henry, you have nothing to prove to me." "And when it all falls apart?" "I'll be there."

~Reign AU~ It's been two years since the death of King Henry, a year after the death of King Francis. French court thrives, however, with empire, a powerful, resilient regent and a healthy, young king. However, is everything as it seems with the death of the previous King? [Frary] A/N: Not my best work, but have been having random one shot bursts lately, so I hope you like it!!

Francis is looking for comfort. Richard is making a mistake. _____________________________________________________ This is my own take on the kissing scene between Richard and Francis on the night that Bunny dies. What if Charles had not interrupted them? Told from Richard's POV. The first couple paragraphs are taken from the book. My writing starts right after the line "It's fun. I promise you."

« Forgive me, for all the things I did but mostly for the ones I did not. » - Francis Abernathy, The Secret History by Donna Tartt. One-shot book for Francis Abernathy and Richard Papen. !! I do not own any of the characters !! Extra notes that I wanted to add: You thought this was going to be a book where Richard is the oh-so-perfect boyfriend and doesn't use the inner monologue that much? Well, if that's so, you're WRONG. His inner monologue is very annoying, just like in the actual book, because we need an #edgy Richard. He also romanticises everything (just like he does in the book) because I do that too and I want to use it as an opportunity to romanticise everything! Did you also think I was going to make Francis full of confidence, with stong will, self respect and no trauma dumps? You're WRONG AGAIN. He is an INFP, I wrote him as an INFP (derogatory). He is going to cry at least once in this book because I love the hurt/comfort/hurt/comfort trope!!

just some imagined moments from the secret history

"The madness of love is the greatest of heaven's blessings" - Plato Henry Winter x fem. oc !not my original characters except my oc! obviously the story is based on Donna Tartt's book.

❝Take me to the lakes where all the poets went to die I don't belong, and my beloved, neither do you Those Windermere peaks look like a perfect place to cry I'm setting off, but not without my muse❞ Henry always liked to take care of flowers, and Liliana Alarie was one flower that he would take care of for forever.

[ BOOK 1 OF AZITERA: YTHER'S QUEEN ] Consumed by avarice, the four human kingdoms-the Infernal Empire, the Kingdom of Caelum, the Kingdom of Treterra, and the Nayale Archipelago-betrayed their covenant with Yther of Azitera, the race blessed by deities, who protected humans for untold centuries. They slaughtered and defiled the beings that once protected them from storm, famine, poverty, and pestilence without mercy. Betrayed by the humans they protected, the Ytherians were enslaved. Their four queens were caged, chained, and imprisoned to serve as nutrients to the human kingdoms. The once prominent Ytherians were reduced to nothing but servants. As the four kingdoms of the human race prospered for many years since their betrayal, one news staggered them, causing them to tremble in fear and rally their armies to protect and defend their domain: Sollel-the Mistress of Flame, one of Yther's queens-had escaped her prison. Her flames will raze hell, ready to burn the souls of her betrayers. COMPLETED CECELIB | C.C. COVER: ASTRID JAYDEE

Three years following the events of Crooked Kingdom, Kuwei Yul-Bo is found dead under unexpected circumstances. Kaz Brekker have been having dreams. Jesper Fahey and Wylan Hendriks have called it quits. Inej Ghafa has finally returned to Ketterdam after her longest stint away at sea. Forced to band together once disaster strikes, the Crows must wage a war against a hostile enemy in a city turned nightmarish: battling threats they've only ever dreamt of. A threat with whom Nina Zenik might have more in common than expected... -------------------------------------------------------------- "We used to be teammates. You, me, Wylan, Jesper, Nina, Matthias," Inej's voice broke slightly on the last name, but she persevered, "Do you remember the state I found you in last night, Kaz? Because I do." "It won't happen again," he said unfeelingly. "So that's it then," her lips twisted, and Kaz received the queer impression that he'd disappointed her exactly like this in the past. "That's all Wylan and I are to you. A domesticated demo expert and a retired spider. Liabilities. Investments turned sour." This again. "And what exactly should you be to me, Wraith?" he seethed down at her, suddenly angered. Why did he find himself staring at her mouth? He'd expected her to say friends, or to at least settle on allies, but her real response was a fist to the gut. "Was Jordie just an investment to you too, Kaz?" Kaz went still. Inej's eyes widened slowly in realization. "Kaz, I-" she started. "No," Kaz murmured, "My brother was not an investment." "I didn't mean-" "-And I lost him," he snapped his gaze to her with sudden force, "But you know what I don't lose, Wraith? I don't lose on my investments. I always invest wisely. I always read the market. And I always turn a profit. I intend to do just that."
