Despite living thirty miles from London, Anabelle Latimer knows her chances of finding a husband in their sleepy village are as thin as cook's white soup. Then she discovers a kindred spirit in Mr. Fielding, the intelligent and handsome new steward from Blackwood Hall. It was a great shame that his position in life was so below her own, for he was exactly the sort of man she would have wished to marry. Anthony Fielding, tired of being the target of the ton's marriage-minded mothers, hopes to spend a relaxing week shooting and fishing in the country. Yet upon his arrival at Blackwood Hall he discovers an estate in chaos, and a friend in desperate need of help. He is quick to offer his knowledge and expertise, unaware that his generosity will have unexpected repercussions. The Steward of Blackwell Hall is a traditional Regency romance of approximately 66,000 words.

Edmund Westworth (26), the third Earl of Beaumont, and the most eligible bachelor in London, unknowingly started a tradition he now regrets. At age twenty-two he danced the first dance at the season opening ball at Almack's with a young lady who became the toast of the season. The next year he did the same. Every year since, he has danced one dance, to fulfill his mother's requirement. And every year his dance partner becomes the most sought after girl of the season. Some think he has a gift, Edmund thinks he could pick any girl and 'the ton' would deem her desirable based on his dance alone. His friends disagree and bet him 100£ to choose a dance partner who couldn't possibly entice the gentlemen of London. When her father suddenly passes away, Elizabeth Cavendish (20) has to move in with her aunt's family. With the estate entailed, Elizabeth needs to find a husband quickly or her aunt will install her into a governess or lady's companion position, which would severely hinder Beth's ability to work on her scientific experiments. Garbed in her cousin's horrific dresses from last season, she only has a few weeks to find a husband before she is doomed to tedious work for the rest of her life. She finds an unlikely accomplice in the Earl of Beaumont. Please don't copy any part of my story in any form (including Youtube) without my permission.

You're a normal girl with a normal life, well, almost normal. You've always been able to tune in to the emotions of others. Because of that you're able to connect with people easily; but one boy, Kusuo Saiki, is beyond your reach. After being teamed up with him for a little scavenger hunt, and pretty much everything after that, the two of you develop what feels like hate for one another. But what lies beneath all that is the truth that you've denied. •I'm new to this fandom as I only just started watching the anime! But I'm already inspired to start a story, so forgive me if my facts aren't all 100% correct! Hnnn I hope you enjoy!

-- this story is really your typical y/n cliche type of story cause this was actually made by a 10 year old, feel free to laugh at 10 year old me ignorance and making y/n sound like a basic white girl who dresses like my 3rd grade english teacher -- Saiki Kusou is a guy who has zero interest in love. But that soon changes when a mysterious girl suddenly tranferred to his school. She was..different..
