    Her life was supposed to be stable. Not perfect. Not exciting. Just... stable. A job. A mortgage. A routine barely held together with coffee and denial. But in a world where supernatural beings-known as the Legends walk openly among humans, stability is never guaranteed for long. When Charlotte loses her job without warning, everything she worked so hard to build begins to crack. Bills don't wait. Time doesn't slow down. And the world she thought she understood is quietly shifting beneath her feet. The Legends control the best jobs, the best lives, and the kind of power humans can't compete with anymore. Everyone knows it. Everyone accepts it. Charlotte just tries to survive it. Until something starts to change. In a world ruled by fate-bound beings who recognize their mates by instinct alone, Charlotte has always believed she was safely outside that story. Too ordinary. Too human. Too overlooked. But fate has never cared about what she believes. And once the Legends start paying attention... nothing in her life will ever be simple again. Because some bonds are not chosen. They are claimed.

The people in power, the ones that had failed him so many times before, have decided that his discovery is theirs.

    "You wrotе me a note, cast a spell on my hеart and bewitched me." ------ *ੈ✩‧₊˚ Since the fateful day that Edalyn Clawthorne rescued you from the boiling rain, you've been facing a war waged on the system that prides itself upon the elimination of your kind. Since the fateful day that Emperor Belos took responsibility over Hunter, he's been facing that same war - unknowingly affiliated with the side of the oppressors. Iniquity and purity. Savage and tame. Wild and coven. Does anyone even know the true meaning of those words, or are they simply means to pit youths of the same generation against one another? At any rate, you never expected to find yourself thrust in the middle of the war against the empire. And you definitely never expected to find yourself falling for the right-hand of its leader. Whatever, that's life. You never know what it'll throw at you. But now that you think of it... you don't quite know yourself either, do you? ------ *ੈ✩‧₊˚ "BEWITCHED",, HUNTER X GN!READER. - ROMANCE: CURRENTLY IN "SUUUPPPEEERRRR CLOSE FRIENDS" STAGE. - STORY: CURRENTLY IN "PRE-UNITY" ARC. - NOTICES 1: The title may be misleading. While this is definitely an 'x reader,' the fic is not centered on the romance and has its own narrative and story. Just an FYI. 2: Due to this being my first fan fiction, you will notice me developing my writing style over the course of the fic. I am highly nostalgic, so with the exception of a few revisions, the old chapters will remain unchanged. Please bear with the initial formatting, writing style, and potential errors. A rewrite, however, is in the cards in the future upon story completion. Thanks!! xx
