4 kingdoms, 52 cards, 2000+ entitled royals and nobles, all stuck on 1 tiny island for 3 months. What could go wrong?

This is the reality at the Deck. Bare with me now...

A long time ago, the world was split into four reigning kingdoms: Hearts, Diamonds, Spades, and Clubs. Each was divided into ten regions: Two- Nine and Ace. One Card headed each region and were overseen by the King. Once a year for three months, every card, including kings, queens, and jacks, as well as their extended families gathered on a small island known as the deck to hash out policies, inform each other of current events, secure marriages, etc. As you can guess, this is a dreadful time for everybody.

This year's time at the deck lacks no drama. The king of spades' health is deteriorating while his son remains unmarried, the rightful crown princess of hearts is going crazy and nobody cares, the crown princess of clubs is missing and the king wants answers, and diamonds is acting more suspicious then usual.

WILD CARD (#1 COURT OF SUITS series) by StephRose1201

Legend has it, if you stand in front of a mirror, shuffling an enchanted deck of cards, you can open a doorway between dimensions. *** Prince Teodric of Springport remembers the promise he made his father: to *not* try to reenact the legend of dimensions. At sixteen, he laughed at his father's claims that there were ways of traveling through portals to other realms; but five years later, as sole heir to his recently deceased father's kingdom, the eerie tale somehow re-enters his mind, and with it a curious desire to break his promise. To see if, as his father said, other dimensions existed, and one traveled to them via cards and mirrors. But Teo gets more than he ever dreamed he would, and soon wakes in a realm of the imaginary, the insane, and the impossible... only to find he switched places with a knave named Jack of Spades.

For Her Favor by BattleOfHearts

"This man had sought revenge for me and made a spectacle for it. He had protected my crown. He also answered my questions vaguely and I was nowhere closer to figuring him out than when he first arrived, but I was drawn to him. Like an addict to a drug, damn I wanted to be close to him. I wanted his touch. There was no sane explanation for it, it was just a want, a need." Princess Esme was never supposed to be Queen, but when tradgedy strikes in her Fae kingdom, she is forced to bear the crown. In Amoria, the Kingdom of Love and Life, she must battle with the patriarchy now to keep it. They want a king on the throne and she wants a chance at true love like the rest of her people. To placate the nobles in her kingdom that have a grip on her power, she agrees to the Battle of Hearts-a competition where eligible princes from other kingdoms compete for her favor and to be named king. Everything Esme knows is about to be challenged and not everything will be as it seems. In the end she'll have to choose; her kingdom or her heart.

When his mother, the queen, proposes that they leave at the head of a legion in order to visit every other nation and meet with their leaders, he could not be more thrilled. His life was spent studying foreign language and he would finally be able to put this to good use. What he does not know yet is that his expectations would be brutally shattered as he will come face to face with a much harsher reality. He desires to bring peace and freedom in between nations using only words, but he will collide with the stubborn will and greed of scores of warlords. Will he be able to meet friends on whom he can truly count on, and maybe even a strong princess to get married to? Most importantly, will he be able to avoid using war to prevent war. This bloodbath is bound to happen, the question is, will he be able to be seen as a peaceful hero or will he have no choice but to become a warlord himself?"

"A King who is afraid of losing his Queen..." "A Queen who will sacrifice everything to save his King..." Alfred is King of the Spades. Handling a kingdom alone with his advisor Yao is difficult, so his advisor set up a ball so the King can choose a queen. Problem is he didn't find any of the girls attractive or worthy of that title. Though almost all of the woman in the kingdom has a crush on him (and threw themselves onto him), he didn't find any worthy enough. So Yao invited all the kingdoms to the ball. Still no one. That's except for a late arriver who looks terrified after seeing the King of Diamond's was there... Arthur is a maid for the King of Diamond, who already has a queen. Still the King abused him in every way possible. Though it was mostly sexual. He ran away to the Spades Kingdom in hope of savior. He accidentally stumbled into the ball he heard about. He caught the attention of the King, who he found mighty attractive. 'Will he be the one to save me...'

Wonderland Wars by KitCarson72

This story inspo came to me while making tacos for dinner. I'm not even joking. Alice I'm the last daughter of the Queen of Hearts. Fifth in line for a throne to a kingdom fallen to war and ruination at the hands of my own flesh and blood. Magic is failing us and our mages are at a loss on how to fix it. Their solution? Steal it. From another realm. One with just as many wild dangers as our own, but with one major problem in the way. Peter Panjara. The enemy's king. If the legends of Neverland are true, even looking upon his scarred and evil face will cast your soul into the Beyond. Doomed to wander with no purpose for eternity. But I'm not scared of some old dribble from the mouths of simpletons. I'm a monster in my own right. And I've never feared any demon but the one in the mirror. Peter My realm was at peace for 400 years. My subjects drank and laughed under the stars, never fearing the tomorrows on the horizon. Magic permeated through our shores and undulated in the currents of our seas. Until that blood-bathed witch attacked. My people were captured, turned to slaves and I had to flee my own damn castle. I will not rest until that queen's head is on my front gate. I will not pass into the Beyond until my kingdom is cleansed from Wonderland's filth. And I've found the perfect little rabbit to help me. Come hell or high water. Or heart.
