1860 Stories

London, 1860. Behind the velvet curtains of the Belladonna Opera, beauty is everything, and everything has a price. Théo Maren is Belladonna's crown jewel. A male ballet dancer in a world that wants him quiet, pretty, and obedient. Admired for his grace, whispered about for his past, and watched far too closely by men with power. The Duke, who claims him like a possession. Durfraye, the director, who uses him to keep the theatre alive. And the audience, who only see the mask he wears on stage. But then he returns. Konstantin Arseniev. A Russian general, calm and unshakable, the only man who ever touched Théo without trying to own him. Years ago, they shared one stolen night in St. Petersburg. A night Théo ran from. A night he never forgot. Now, Konstantin is standing in the crowd. And suddenly, Théo's careful world, his distance, his silence, his survival is on the verge of crumbling. Because loving Konstantin means risking everything: his safety, his freedom, his career... and maybe even his life. Belladonna is a story of forbidden love, obsession, and the cost of beauty in a world that wants to ruin softness. A dancer who refuses to break. A soldier who refuses to let go. And a stage where the truth can't stay hidden forever.

In 1860's London Louise Clarke and Xavier Campbell have a run in that leaves both with not so very nice opinions of each other though it seems like fate has them tangled as their work in the creed forces them to work together as a duo trying to find someone murdering assassins and templars alike . As they hunt down their target the two learn about each other becoming closer as they near the end, will they stay together when the board is cleared or will they go their separate ways? I wrote this as a kind of joke with a lot of friends throwing their own characters to have roles. Everything in here happens around about two years before the events of assassins creed syndicate and if I feel I can pull it off I might throw in the frye twins.

But when a feral dragon aiding the Confederacy offers Orion the hope of liberating his family, he must first abandon them and serve her instead. But she is less certain of her desires and with far more at stake. As the contested messiah of the wild dragons, none more skeptical than herself, that reputation has given her the opportunity to secure her dying culture legitimacy by establishing a nation of their own. But there are two roads to this glorious future. The first is the way of honor, where the dragon colonies fight and die alongside men in a grand alliance in the hope that their allies will show their gratitude rather than once again turn arms upon their weakened allies. The other is a treacherous route of deceit and betrayal, where a drawn out and ruinous war leaves the already divided nation of men in turmoil and ruins, unable to oppose the solidifying of draconic power in the west. ----------- Inspired by works like Age of Fire and Temeraire. #DragonPOV #HistoricalFantasy
