Adrielle, the book-loving younger sister of Crown Prince Ben and daughter of Belle and the former Beast, has always preferred the quiet company of stories over people. Mysterious and misunderstood, she drifts through Auradon Prep like a shadow-beautiful, distant, and untouchable. But everything changes the day Ben brings the children of the Isle of the Lost to school. Among them is Jay, the charming and cocky son of Jafar, who's used to taking what he wants-except this time, what he wants is her. Drawn to Adrielle's quiet strength and hidden warmth, Jay finds himself doing the unthinkable: slowing down, sticking around, and even... reading. He doesn't care that she sees him as trouble or that their worlds don't make sense together. He's determined to make her notice him, to make her smile, and maybe-just maybe-believe that someone from the shadows can deserve the light. But can a thief really steal the heart of a princess... or will she steal his instead? - Started on March 17, 2017 - Completed on April 6, 2017 - Revised on May 22, 2025

A new school year has begun at Auradon Prep, and peace seems to have finally settled. Jay and Adrielle, now seventeen, have spent a magical year in love, growing stronger both as individuals and as a couple. With more students beginning to accept Jay and his friends for who they are rather than where they come from, the future feels brighter than ever. That is, until History class takes an unexpected turn. When Professor Jane announces an educational trip to Agrabah, the ancient kingdom steeped in magic and mystery, Jay is more than intrigued; he's consumed. Jay has lived in the shadow of his father's bitterness for as long as he can remember. Jafar had always told him that Sultan Aladdin stole everything, his power, his dignity, and worst of all, Jasmine, Jay's mother. Fueled by stories of betrayal and loss, Jay is determined to uncover the truth. But Agrabah holds more than just history. It has answers and secrets that could unravel everything Jay thought he knew about his family, his past, and himself. As ancient legacies clash and truths rise from the sands, Jay is forced to ask. Is he his father's son... or something more? And through it all, Adrielle must stand by the boy she loves, caught between his darkness, destiny, and a truth that could tear them apart. When love meets legacy, who will you choose to be? - Started on April 6, 2017
