The Time It Takes To Fall

When the love of Prince Kaito's life is killed, he longs for nothing more but to be with her once more. And as fate-or death-would have it, Kai is given another chance to be with his dear Selene, but at a steep cost. His Selene will reincarnate ten times, and if Kai can find her and make her to fall in love with him once more, he will be allowed to die by her side. If not, Kai will spend the rest of eternity as a slave to death. Kai has reached the final reincarnation-Cinder Linh-and is determined to win her over. But things may not be as easy as they seem. Will Kai convince his past lover to fall in love with him, or will he suffer damnation?

A mostly modern-day AU revolving around Cinder and Kai with a hint of some very made up fairytales.

Note: most of this stuff is all made up by me. If you actually know Chinese legends, kudos to you. These are mostly made by me. Also the wonderful characters in this story belong to the wonderful Marissa Meyer.
