Lady Georgiana and her horse, Huxley, have a special connection, but Georgiana has an even stronger connection with Huxley's trainer and her father's stable boy, Tom. In 1800's Britain where country estates and social divides were still very strong Georgiana and Tom know that they can never be together. Frustrating as this is for Georgiana she knows she has to be the conventional Lady. For Tom, he cares about nothing but Georgiana. Although when he realises that Georgiana is as stubborn as her father about the two of them never being together, he takes what he believes should've always been his. Maybe it would've been, if the world wasn't so cruel. (Georgiana is pronounced George-ay-na). Archie Flynn

"Give me to the road Upon the heart That I had sold Warm my heavy hands My heavy hands For you to hold," I Followed Fires, written and performed by Matthew and the Atlas. || A Sebastian de Poitiers x OC Fan Fiction. I do not own Reign nor do I own the characters that are included in this written story with the exceptions of my own original characters. Synopsis: No respectable woman in France would accept the hand in marriage with a bastard, even if it was the king's bastard. The very idea of marriage for Sebastian seemed impossible, and he continued life as he indulged in his freedom. But the pleasures that life offers would come to an end sooner and later, wouldn't it? The end of Bash's freedom meant the beginning of a marriage; an arranged union by the king for which he least expected. Bash and Adèle both followed fires throughout their lives, which led them to a great blaze that brought them together. NOTE: Please make a mental note that in this story, Bash is still in his quest to defeat the Darkness, and has not successfully killed him yet, even months after Henry's death. In Reign, on episode 1x09 (Slaughter of Innocence), Henry's death and the Darkness's death both occurred not too long from each other, but in this story, it is not.
