*Old Work*
I wrote this when I was 13, bear in mind. 
Please go check out some of my newer stories on my page. 

Cypress Ramirez is a six. She works as a maid in a seamstress shop. She loves to sing, play music, dance, and draw. She doesn't want to enter the selection because she thinks the crown prince Adrian is a snob, stuck-up, and an obnoxious asshole. She doesn't believe in fate, or the one. Her family all work to keep themselves afloat, but just barely scrape by. Cypress is the second oldest, but became the oldest when her sister Katelyn married. 

She enters the selection to help her family after her younger brother Aaron gets sick and is diagnosed with leukemia. When she gets to the palace, she starts to fall deeper all the while surviving rebel attacks and rude bitches. Cypress starts as a six, but once she ends, she will never be the same.

*Some of the characters and the plot I own, but some of the characters and plot go to Kiera Cass*

Her Majesty // Mikaelson by Lucifurteeth
42 parts Complete
The Quarter is quiet. Marcellus controls the vampires. The wolves live like outcasts in the Bayou. The Witches have a rocky peace with the vampires. The Mikaelsons raise Hope in their family home. All is peaceful, quiet despite the minor disputes. However the newest Scottish visitors have a long history that they plan on bringing to town. --- "They don't like the idea of new vampires in New Orleans." He reports shamefully, holding his head downwards. The butler seemed as though fearing for his life. I hold the lavender ball gown up to my chest, looking at myself in the floor length mirror. "On the contrary, dear Joseph," I pause, listening as my sweet Scottish accented voice floats around the room in tranquility​. I turn to him, my ice eyes resting on him. "We are very, very old vampires." I drop the dress, and the butler looks up in fear. My movements are as fast as a striking snake, tearing out his throat in such a swift movement there's barely any mess. I look into his eyes as he raises his hands to his neck, falling to the ground in a light thump. I walk back and pick up the lavender dress, admiring my smiling reflection in the mirror as the tragically human butler bleeds out onto the expensive Russian rug. --- Some plot lines and moments of the Originals has been altered for this story. Camille is human (alive). Marcel is not a super vamp. However, Hope is seven years old. I only own the events and Characters I design, the rest all belong to the CW and the wonderful writers. Edit:: The Title has been changed from Casket Crowns to Her Majesty The reasoning is that the characters designed in this story are being used in a series of novels that will NOT be fan fictions. If you're interested in Merida and her brothers furthermore, stay tuned for the actual Fiction/Fantasy book I'll publish on my profile. August 10, 2020 UPDATE: This story is old, I started it several years ago and therefore has many flaws. Read at your own risk.

Abel was a very...strange individual. She lacked every bit of social skill and never knew how to properly take charge of a situation. In short, she was awkward. No one could blame her, she didn't know what it meant to be normal. She was different from everyone else that was made clear before she could even comprehend it herself. Having no friends, no family...nothing but the clothes on her back and the thoughts in her head. That didn't stop her though, she was strong willed and that's what kept her going all these years. It was the only thing that kept her alive. Her life gradually changes when she gets an opportunity to work as a bodyguard for the royal family.

(Not good with descriptions but give it a try) FOR MATURE AUDIENCES ONLY!

(18+ EXPLICIT CONTENT) "Attract a lot of attention, huh beautiful?" His voice hit me like a wall, absurdly catching me off guard. It was deep, sensual, something any girl (or boy) could melt over. I was sort of speechless, yet trying my best to appear unafflicted. "Only the wrong ones." That was definitely drunken me talking, as I didn't usually have that much confidence. His lips twitched up into a smirk, expressing that he understood my comment. "Does that mean that I'm in that category?" My palms began to grow sweaty and my heart rate picked up, but otherwise my body remained relaxed, appearing completely fine. It similar to when you're on autopilot, completely withdrawn due to intoxication. "I suppose not," I crossed my arms, putting on this seductive persona just for him. This fueled his smirk, about to murmur another comment before I cut him off. "You'll have to show me, though." *** Amelia Hollis was a 23-year-old writer at one of the local publishing companies, assisting a very handsome man and writing articles left and right. Her and her best friend, Aviary, lived together in a cute little apartment off the central part of the city, yearning to create new memories and important moments. Amelia always lived for the moments, taking in every little detail and savoring it like it was her favorite meal. She was an optimist, hoping to change peoples lives with her dreams. James Vallette was a 34-year-old CEO, building his company from dirt with the help of his brother. He was a realist, not really having time to deal with dreams or even love. He knew this the night he laid eyes on Amelia. It was only casual; what harm could a one-night stand do? Oh yeah, he's her dad's boss.

(UNDER EXTREME CONSTRUCTION AND EDITING. I will let you know which chapters are updated and edited as I go, I will also be combining some chapters together so they are not so short.)

Since she could remember, she never believed her parents were really dead, and has been searching for them ever since she became part of the mercenary group. The deal to stay with the group so she could find her family was that she was to become a mercenary herself, in which she did, and excelled at. When Lotus, the Captains right hand man, was retiring, the Captain wanted to replace him with her. Lotus felt a woman was unfit to fill such a responsible position, and took his rage out on them, killing the Captain after a days battle. He banishes Erin, sending troops after her, for her head. However, she was smarter than that, and saw that coming. She travels with Rune, a man who saved her life during the previous days battle, reluctantly.

Kira only put her name in to get out of her town, which is full of people who look at her and miss the girl she was before being Drafted. Kira is all right with her scars, and stretch marks from the growth hormones. But she's grieving, and needs space to breathe. She didn't expect to actually be chosen. But she wanted out. And she volunteered because she wanted change. She doesn't think the heart she left in New Asia has room to fall in love again so soon, but she's always been adaptable. Such as when she served in an active war zone, or got put on a transplant waiting list, or became an elevated Two, or met thirty-four new and fascinating women. Or since she met a prince. CHANGES FROM CANON: -Kira (pansexual, plus-size) replaces America (no shade though) -women can volunteer to be Drafted -Maxon is friendlier -less infighting; girls start to collaborate rather than compete CONTENT WARNINGS (differing from canon): -some swearing (d***, sh**, h***) -some medical use of needles. CW will be posted, TLDR included SPOILER CHANGES: -Celeste lives
