Toast of the Season by MissCrystalSnow92

Edmund Westworth (26), the third Earl of Beaumont, and the most eligible bachelor in London, unknowingly started a tradition he now regrets. At age twenty-two he danced the first dance at the season opening ball at Almack's with a young lady who became the toast of the season. The next year he did the same. Every year since, he has danced one dance, to fulfill his mother's requirement. And every year his dance partner becomes the most sought after girl of the season. Some think he has a gift, Edmund thinks he could pick any girl and 'the ton' would deem her desirable based on his dance alone. His friends disagree and bet him 100£ to choose a dance partner who couldn't possibly entice the gentlemen of London. When her father suddenly passes away, Elizabeth Cavendish (20) has to move in with her aunt's family. With the estate entailed, Elizabeth needs to find a husband quickly or her aunt will install her into a governess or lady's companion position, which would severely hinder Beth's ability to work on her scientific experiments. Garbed in her cousin's horrific dresses from last season, she only has a few weeks to find a husband before she is doomed to tedious work for the rest of her life. She finds an unlikely accomplice in the Earl of Beaumont. Please don't copy any part of my story in any form (including Youtube) without my permission.

How to fall in Love by calledEdGiNg

' "Tony is being weird and-and naked." I tell him, trying to ignore what he's saying and focusing on my problem instead. Vivian laughs. And laughs, and laughs. After he's finally done, "Is he now?" he asks. The bastard is still sniggering. "Yes! He is! What do I do Vivian? Stop laughing! This isn't funny!" I say trying to sound as intimidating as I can. "Okay! Okay! Go be naked with him then!" he says. What?! "He's your husband, Fiona. Oh God!" he laughs again. Barely anything registers into my confounded brain. I open the calendar on my phone. The date is 25th October, 2027. Yesterday was, 24th October, 2023. Four years. One night. I don't understand how much time I have crossed without realizing. Future. I'm in the fucking future. Four years into a future where Tony is apparently my husband and we are out for honeymoon in... I don't know where yet.' How does Fiona Keats fall in love, you ask? Here's how...

Cole Glassad couldn't care less about the upcoming palace ball meant to find a wife for the prince. Her life is down in the dangerous Sparkstone mines, slaving away for a few coins that her stepmother and stepsister promptly steal. With life a living hell, she has barely enough energy to care for the injured animals she tends in secret, much less a party for the royal family that cares so little for her and the people like her. It isn't until a mysterious man appears out of the shadows, claiming to be one of the long-lost faeries and offering her a chance at freedom, that she begins to see hope. In exchange for enough money to free herself from her family, the faerie asks only for one thing in return-- that Cole attends the ball in order to get close enough to the prince to assassinate him and bring an end to the corrupted royal line. With her mission clear, Cole enters the world of the palace to learn about the prince and find a way into his ball. But dark secrets, violent plots, a strange sense that perhaps the prince isn't as bad as the faerie makes him seem, and a life-changing discovery about her past, all conspire to make Cole's shot at freedom messy and difficult. She must find the strength to get close to the prince, or else the mysterious faerie will send her back to the mines and her dreadful family. Once the clock strikes midnight... she must fulfill her end of the bargain. Once the clock strikes midnight... her hands must be red with the prince's blood.

*𝑩𝒐𝒐𝒌 𝑶𝒏𝒆 𝒊𝒏 𝑻𝒉𝒆 𝑪𝒐𝒖𝒓𝒕𝒊𝒏𝒈 𝒔𝒆𝒓𝒊𝒆𝒔* 𝑪𝒐𝒎𝒑𝒍𝒆𝒕𝒆𝒅-𝑩𝒆𝒊𝒏𝒈 𝑬𝒅𝒊𝒕𝒆𝒅 I felt his warm breath as it caressed my ear, causing a shiver to crawl down my spine as he whispered, "So it seems you have been having quite the time with my brother tonight, Miss Beckett." I looked up horrified to meet his cold blue eyes as they peered down at me, the corners of his mouth curled slightly, revealing some of his beautifully white teeth. "I beg your forgiveness, My prince. I did not mean to offend you by accepting your brother's invitation to dance." I swallowed hard, trying to fight the lump of fear that had started to build in my throat, "I did not think I was allowed to decline." Prince Thomas let out a little chuckle, "Oh, I am not mad at you, Emma." I shivered when my name left his lips, "You have just piqued my interest, that is all." 𝑭𝒆𝒂𝒕𝒖𝒓𝒆𝒅 𝒇𝒊𝒗𝒆 𝒕𝒊𝒎𝒆𝒔 𝒊𝒏 𝟐𝟎𝟐𝟑 After receiving a letter from the King announcing the commencement of a new event called The Courting , Emma's parents force her to switch places with her sister and attend this event in her stead. Doing so thrusts her into a life she never envisioned for herself, making her realize that she wants and deserves more than the scraps that she'd been allowed up until then. Though winning is easier said than done, as she must now compete against nearly two hundred other girls for the hand of the second Prince of Myrce, and the approval of the Queen, if she hopes to secure this new future for herself.

Two-Sides to the Same Coin by TheWriter3339

You have been Ladybug for a year now and the akumatizations are surprisingly dying down. The lack of akumas mean that you aren't spending as much time with Chat as Ladybug, which is making him turn to your alter ego for companionship. You had never considered Chat as a romantic partner, but your troubles with Adrien lead you closer to trusting him. You have been keeping your identities a secret from each other, but will your time spent together clue you into the boy behind the mask? ********************************************************************************************** I have always wanted a story that included good plots for romance with smut later on. I could never find the perfect story that balanced both, heightening the tension between the two characters that the reader would feel. So, I decided to make one. This will be a long story, but one worth waiting for. Within, you are replacing the role of Marinette, but you will be using your own name. Alya is your best friend, Adrien has friend-zoned you and you have it out for Chloe and Lila. To give more context, this story takes place after Season 2. However, you and all the main characters are around 18 and older.
