Headless Villainess
Good afternoon, ladies and gentlemen. In the current world I am a selfish villainess that lived as she liked; in the previous world I lived modestly. The result of my self-centered, spoiled lifestyle was to be cheated on by my fiancee, the prince, who after conspiring with his lover, broke off his engagement with me and as the result of a strict trial, my execution was decided. And thankfully as a noble I received an 'honorable' death by guillotine. And so, after I was decapitated by the guillotine, I was reborn into a corpse... Re"born"? No wait, I don't even have a head, what are you telling me to do now?Complete
L'Ange de la Mort (The Art of Revolution #1)
{Wattys 2018 Winner - The Contemporaries} Versailles, France 1789: Where the only things more prevalent than opulence and wealth, are secrets. At the dawn of the French Revolution, Paris is divided. In the glittering palace of Versailles, courtiers party without a care in the world, but in the city, people must fight to stay alive. Eighteen-year-old courtier Gabriel de la Marche is part of both worlds. When Gabriel was fourteen, his older sister went missing, and desperation for answers led him to strike a deal with an underground organization of assassins-they would use their connections to help Gabriel find his sister, if Gabriel agreed to kill members of nobility under the alias L'Ange de la Mort. Four years later, he still hasn't found his sister, and the repercussions of his decision are catching up with him. But he fears it might be too late to turn back now. The daughter of a French mother and a wealthy English earl, Lizabeth survived in the womb when her twin brother did not. Believed by her family to be cursed, she has grown up shamed and unloved, locked away in her father's estate. That is, until Lizabeth's mother strikes a deal of her own. If Lizabeth travels to Versailles and kills L'Ange de la Mort, she'll be granted her freedom. At the palace, Gabriel and Lizabeth fall headfirst into love, neither of them knowing the other's secret. Amid lavish court life, Lizabeth desperately searches for the identity of L'Ange de la Mort while Gabriel searches for the person rumored to want him dead. And when the truth is finally revealed, they discover they've become entrapped in a plot bigger than either of them could have imagined. One which could change all of France. stunning cover by storms_and_seas! aesthetics by makovea!Complete
Before The Beginning
Bertrice, Quaren, and mentions of other ships inside! This is a look into the past, with my version of how we got to where we are now. There will of course be happy moments, but some somber ones too. This story is not for everyone. There will be heavy spoilers for All the Wrong Questions inside, but it's not an ATWQ focused book. (Only in the first chapter) Multiple POVs will be used. As many of my stories have similar details to their past events, I have decided this prequel will not be tied to any of my previous stories specifically, as they share several details of their past and it would be mostly inconsequential to not tie them to any one later story. Rated T for swearing. *Disclaimer: I do not own A Series of Unfortunate Events. This is merely a fanfic.*Complete
Vanity
Fourteen year old Fabienne, Cousin to the King, is living in the lap of luxury in the french royal court of Versailles. Little does she know that she is about to be caught between two sides of a revolution, will she stay loyal to her family or will she fight for what she believes to be right and the boy she loves. 2020 Note - Written when I was 13 so that's the reason for the terrible grammar, wandering plot and serious historical inaccuracies :)Complete

Les Miserables: The Flame That Never Dies
Gabrielle is dead. She died alongside Courfeyrac and many others during the June Rebellion in France in 1832. They called it the revolution then. She's in heaven forever, but wait? What? Can it be? She's coming back to life! In the strange new modern world! She's scared, that is until she realizes she's not the only one. Others came back to life as well! Why were they back? Who came back? What exactly were they supposed to do now? *Note: I am TERRIBLE at summaries...because that basically describes only like the first chapter...yeah.* (I'll be using characters from my last book Les Miserables Revolution. I'll also be using stuff that they did and everything. You might want to read that first. I'd suggest doing that.)Complete
The Incorruptible, Corrupted {l'incorruptible, Corrompu}
Just days ago, Maximilien de Robespierre was the most feared man in all of France. A mere word could result in a man being sent to his death. Now, the once-great orator sits silent and alone in a dark cell, his jaw shattered from a failed suicide attempt and his once-impeccable clothes a grisly blood-stained mess. Clinging to life and awaiting Madame Guillotine's blade in the cell that once housed his enemy, Marie Antoinette, he watches his country at war with itself and wonders if everything he did 'for the good of France,' was worth it. ----------------------- Cover art created by yours truly! This book contains the original and rewritten version of the story. WARNING: Swearing, mention of attempted suicide, mild descriptions of gore, flashbacks, and some scenes containing violence and possibly graphic detail. We have to keep it accurate to the French Revolution and the real Robespierre after all. ----------------------- AWARDS 2nd Place- ECA AwardsComplete
