Sequel to "Escape from the Witch Hunters" Jack kept walking towards her and Ami kept backing up until finally she hit the wall. "Why are you doing this?" "Doing what?" he had an arrogant smile on his face and he got closer to her. "That." she nodded towards his closing in on her. Her breathing and her heart beating picked up speed. "Is it wrong for me to want my own wife?" his own body was nearly pressed against hers and he rested his head between her head and shoulder. "It is when you, just days before, resented the very fact that I was alive." she closed her eyes, trying to steady her breathing. "Maybe I've had a change of heart." he looked at her. She looked at him with her blue eyes. "I don't think so." "What if I said I loved you?" he whispered hoarsely. "I wouldn't believe you." she rested her head against the wall as her heart pounded in her ears. His eyes flashed, then he viciously grabbed her by the waist, pulled her close to him, and his lips crashed onto hers. ~~~ Andromeda Aurora Amélia the Third had dreaded the day she turned sixteen, as she would have to be married to the very snobbish boy, Prince Jacques. They had met only once before, and they had not gotten along in the slightest. She hadn't wanted to play ball with him. He got mud on her favorite dress. She was a ninny and didn't like petty lizards. He was a snob who hated anything in a dress. What happens when they're forced to marry? Will the alliance go through? Will Jack drive Ami crazy enough for her to return home? Or will they work out their differences for the sake of their two countries?

The Monocle's Eye by a_h_encore

Perhaps Elizabeth Greenwood wasn't a lucky girl, with a dead mother at seventeen, an amputated arm, and no money to deal with it, but when she stumbles into the grip of the Princess of what is supposed to be a deserted kingdom while trying to pay her debts, all she knows about herself, her mother, and her life is ripped to shreds. However, that doesn't mean the world she enters into is one without falsities either, or that she will remain unlucky forever. Side note: I wrote this a long time ago, and though I still kinda like the story, the writing is trash, but if you want to read, go ahead.

Hammond: Book One by aracarey03

When the cast and crew arrive in Hammond to film a documentary about life in the medieval stronghold, Ain is seeking something very different than are the hundreds of others who arrive beside him. Desperately he is searching for a solace from the hurt his life has dealt him, and he looks toward the months ahead in his role as Hammond's First Knight as a respite - a turning point - from his long despair. But when the power flickers and goes out, everything is turned upside down. All modern machinery suddenly becomes useless, and every form of communication with the outside world is severed. Hammond is cut off and left to wonder what has caused these things to happen. All seem to look to Ain for answers, and a series of visions and signs suggests he has been set apart to serve a noble purpose in this strangely altered world. This purpose, however, he wishes to deny, for he deems himself unworthy to pursue it. Yet there is one who sees him and his purpose truly, even in the spite of his denial. Mallory guesses his secrets and, against his every resistance, has soundly claimed his heart. Even so, Ain is convinced he must not let her have it, for he believes that giving her his love will bring about her doom. Then a chance meeting with a stranger in the fields turns deadly, and everyone is panicked, fearing all the world has been upended; then in the midst of all their fears, Mallory suddenly falls ill. Even while Mallory's fate is yet uncertain, Ain is pressed to journey out beyond their borders in hopes of finding help and comfort and good news to soothe the hearts at Hammond. A small company he takes with him, but the more they see and learn, the more their hopes subside. Misery and need, neglect and great misfortune meet them everywhere they go, and Hammond's travelers feel helpless as they face it. And when they begin to be pursued, Ain's last remaining hope is just to get them back to Hammond's gates alive...
