She appeared in Jerusalem at a time when she wasn't meant to exist. And for the king who could not be saved, hope appeared for the first time. 🖤

This is a story of a King who, even within a dying body, continued to rule and strike down his enemies. A man who did not fear death, but lived in terror of making a mistake and losing it all.

𝟏𝟏𝟕𝟎 Friends since childhood, Aliénor and prince Baudouin spend their summers in Jerusalem together, sneaking around the palace and causing havoc among the household. Until one day the prince is no longer allowed out of his chambers. Confused and distraught, Aliénor is only permitted to write letters to him for fear of his illness spreading. 𝘏𝘦 𝘪𝘴 𝘤𝘶𝘳𝘴𝘦𝘥 𝘣𝘺 𝘎𝘰𝘥. The servants whisper, but Aliénor refuses to believe it. 𝟏𝟏𝟕𝟕 A war lurks on the horizon. Montgisard hums with the murmur of soldiers as they line for battle. The young King and his stallion stand bravely at the head; a sash of crimson is bound on his left arm, a favour from the woman he writes to in secret. Meanwhile, Aliénor of Acre joins the Order of Lazarus as a medic and follows them to the battlefield. Armed with nothing but faith, and the wistful memory of another time, she is determined to capture the heart of the king she once knew as Baudouin. But something horrific lingers in the air. A sickness unknown to man, one so terrible not even the dead can escape. And when corpses begin to rise, and the battlefield becomes one of the living against the dead, all notion of order is lost.

In a land divided by war and faith, a scarred king and a foreign healer are brought together by necessity, but held in place by something far deeper. Set in a vaguely medieval world shaped by cultural conflict and quiet rebellion, 'The Bronze Mask' follows the slow-burning romance between King Ovid, a war-weary ruler marked by illness and isolation, and Anula, a foreign healer whose knowledge challenges his beliefs. Bound by duty and drawn by something neither can name, their relationship unfolds in the quiet spaces between suspicion and surrender. As love blooms in the shadow of tragedy, they must confront not only their differences, but the inevitability of what lies ahead. A melancholic tale of intimacy, dignity, and the quiet acceptance of fate. *ੈ✩‧₊˚༺☆༻*ੈ✩‧₊˚*ੈ✩‧₊˚༺☆༻*ੈ✩‧₊˚*ੈ✩‧₊˚༺☆༻*ੈ✩‧₊˚*ੈ✩‧₊˚༺☆༻*ੈ✩‧₊˚ Author's note: While The Bronze Mask is an original work of fiction, the character of King Ovid was loosely inspired by the tragic figure of King Baldwin IV. I encountered his portrayal in passing, and though I haven't deeply engaged with the historical records or cinematic depictions, something about his story-a ruler enduring leprosy with stoicism-resonated with me. This novel is not a fan fiction, but a separate narrative built on that single thread of inspiration.

Princess Isabelle Maria of France was never meant for the desert. Born into the cold, crisp northern forests, she spent her childhood sleeping under the stars, mapping terrain, and swearing she would remain a virgin forever rather than become a disposable breeding mare for the arrogant lords of Europe. She required a soul connection-and she refused to lower her standards. But when a desperate geopolitical alliance forces her into a marriage with the sixteen-year-old Leper King, Baldwin IV of Jerusalem, Isabelle prepares for the worst. Instead, she finds a husband who hands her the one thing she never expected: total respect, bodily autonomy, and a razor-sharp wit that matches her own high intellect. To the treacherous Crusader court, they are a silent, tragic political match. But behind the heavy oak doors of the royal chambers, away from the venomous whispers of Lady Sibylla and the arrogance of Guy de Lusignan, a private universe forms. Surrounded by secret coded letters from her childhood friend Yasmine -the daughter of Sultan Saladin- and the chaotic antics of her lady-in-waiting Claire, Isabelle drops her regal mask. Behind the heavy velvet gowns of the "Dragon Queen" lies a fierce, hopelessly romantic woman who is slowly, utterly falling for the soul behind the silver mask. In a kingdom built on sand and vipers, a miracle is about to bloom. But as the shadows of war and illness grow closer, the Queen of Jerusalem will have to weaponize her mind, her sword, and her heart to protect the King she was never supposed to love.

(っ◔◡◔)っ ♥ Context that no one reads♥ The five Arthurian Romances by Chrétien de Troyes is all about romance defying social construct. A chivalry, courageous and honourable type, conveying courtly love and national unity. I had only found out about this poetry book very late but coincidentally it complimented the story brilliantly, so I have featured it in this piece. I decided to name this book after all five novels, calling this the 6th Arthurian Romances, as it is also set in that time. Essentially, it is about love between two different classes. As you know they took King's bloodlines very seriously as well as the hierarchy in the 12th century. But what if this king, like the Knight of Lion and the Knight of Cart, followed their hearts rather than society?

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.
