12thcentury Stories

A collection of Y/N-centered oneshots based on Ridley Scott's Kingdom of Heaven (2005). Unlike my other work in this same genre, any historical figures present in these fics are 90% the way they appear in this film, instead of an even mix of historical and fiction. As such, they are definitely more fantasy than reality and are intended to be read as such. Previously posted on my Tumblr.

Life...Love...Loyalty Can she ever have what she truly desires? "I always knew that my marriage would be forged because of alliances and duties, but I never expected my heart to be stolen long before I was meant to be wed. My heart never longed for the embrace of a man accustomed to war and violence. It pined for the soft embrace of a man who loved the quiet and peace, but the fickle thing can never have what it wants because the daughter of a shogun must follow her father's wishes above her own." Fujioka Rika knew that eventually her father would choose a husband from among the young sons of his allies. She can never tell him that she would prefer a man that once tended crops outside of the Fujioka fortress and is now one of her father's retainers, a man who only picked up the sword to be close to her. And she certainly cannot admit that her heart is broken to anyone now that he has died on the battlefield. However, when Lord Amachi Junichi confides a secret in Rika, she finds that there may be a way to be both the daughter of a shogun and the wife of a peaceful man. Weaving herself into the web of half-truths and lies, Rika finds that her heart's desire may have put her in danger more than she thought it would. Falling in love was the easy part, but staying in love may prove to be the challenge. Book 1.5 of the Kakureta Hana series All Rights Reserved

King Baldwin IV x OC Assassin's Creed-inspired universe based on my dream concept of a new Crusades AC, a true return to the roots. But not an Assassin's Creed fanfic itself-it is my own work. This is like a separate romance tale that sort of takes place in the general idea of this fan concept universe, but the actual fan concept is not about this, does not include this romance or plot, and some characters may be from this story but not from the concept. A bit confusing, but it is what it is xd PROJECT (temporary synopsis and book cover)

A history enthusiast and martial arts prodigy, she's always felt the echoes of a world she never knew-until the day a mysterious carved door in a Florida museum pulls her into one. When Misha awakens in a strange land of regal processions, palanquins, and warriors, she believes she's stumbled upon a remote Indian village... until she realizes the truth: this isn't another place. It's another time. Now trapped in an era where empires still rise and fall by sword and blood, Misha must unravel her place in a world where nothing is familiar-except, strangely, herself.

In his presence, something awakens in her, something deeper than memory and more dangerous than fate. Was she brought here by accident-or by destiny? Because some doors, once opened, do not lead back. And some hearts, once lost to time, are meant to be found again.
