Once upon a time, thousands of years ago, men and fae lived side by side. These were often dark times, as men had little means to defend themselves from the powerful creatures capable of destroying villages in mere seconds. Through bloody battle and tough negotiations with the High Faerie nobility, an agreement of sorts had been reached: A Treaty. Men on the southern half of the continent, Faeries on the top half.
Plain and simple... Until it isn't.
Ella Blackwell has duties. Insurmountable, crushing duties. As the Duke's daughter, she's been born and raised to accomplish what all women in Rhothomir's high society are meant to do-marry well, secure an alliance, and bear the perfect heirs to continue traditions.
Except, Ella's not really the perfect blue-blooded aristocrat she's expected to be.
In the midst of rising political tensions between the Kingdom of Rhothomir and Fae Realm, and a blooming war, Ella finds her life completely upended from one moment to the next, ripped away from everything she's ever known.
Follow along for a High Fantasy adventure full of Faerie royalty, courtly intrigue, backstabbing nobles, political schemes, steel-strong friendship and love.

A Lord and Lace (Regency au! Prince Arthur x oc)
A wayward regency au one shot I wrote for fun, and because the concept wouldn't stop haunting my mind. ~ Trying to get back up after his ex-fiancé left him, Lord Arthur Pendragon relents to his friends and families idea of hosting a party in his family's estate. Although holding up hope for a new love that evening, he could not predict falling head over heel for a woman with haunted eyes, who secretly hides a crooked and wicked grin and a spark of intrigue unlike any he's glimpses before. After catching the sight of that side of her, and the way her families mistreatment severely dampens it, he finds himself sure of one thing. He's going to get her out their grasp, but doing so might be more tricky then first expected. Miss Harriet Frodesdotter is stuck in a hell of constantly being forced into a uncomfortable, lace covered, dress, into unbearably loud ballrooms, and dealing with condescending suitors that her controlling sister manages to steer towards her. The sudden approach by a Lord Pendragon does make her pause however, his sweet and concerned eyes appearing to be almost horrifyingly sincere as he offers to help her with her family issues. She doesn't trust him, he's not the first to claim to be her savour for purely selfish reasons, but something tells her that there's something more to him, and not in a bad way. ~ Content warning for ableism, family issues (including abuse, I don't perceive it as especially graphic, but it's there) and depictions of meltdowns.Complete

The Duchesses
Aurora opens her eyes only to feel the agonising pain in her body. That is to be expected when there has been an accident. It's excruciatingly painful. Aurora groans in pain and pulls off the blanket, taking in her surroundings. It is more appropriate for a hospital interior design to look to the mediaeval era. Not shabby, but more on the extravagant side. The nurses' attire, on the other hand, appears odd. Someone said out of nowhere, "Her Grace, please wake up! Call the doctor right away!" Aurora approaches the mirror and looks at the woman with deep red eyes in it. The woman had blonde hair that, while a little messy, flowed perfectly over her shoulder. Her fair complexion lends her an ethereal appearance. Not to mention that her outfits make her look like a noblewoman from a historical series. She pinches herself, only to realise that the blonde woman staring at her is herself. A thought struck her mind, as she utters her first statement in this world, "Fuck me". Medea has finished her work, but she is still unsure how to fix all of the messes. She hasn't been herself in a long time, and it's bothering her. The throne seems so far away, and the weight of the burden grows heavier with each passing day. A letter from the Imperial Palace has arrived, instructing the Duchess to look after the House of Smith's Duchess of Light, Natalie Wilson Smith. As an evil scheme was about to unfold, she smiled wickedly. 'This is my new card.' p/s: I can't find the original owner of the photo of the cover, if you know or you are the owner of the cover.

When Albert's grandmother arranges a marriage between him and the woman no one else dared to claim, neither expects anything more than polite tolerance.

[LEGO NINJAGO FAE & FAERIES!AU] At first it doesn't seem like much of a good thing.

Listen, he may be constantly attempting to trick her into being dragged off into the woods never to be seen again, but he IS good company.

In the borderlands where steel meets shadow, two kingdoms teeter on the brink of war. When a deadly assassin is dispatched to murder Princess Annalise of Crimson Kingdom, rumors spread that the ruthless King Abbadon -determined to fan the growing conflict between Crimson Kingdom and Nymerian Kingdom- is behind the sudden increase in assassins sent after Annalise. But Annalise, long dismissed as a frail royal unfit for battle or to rule the kingdom that was built on the backbone of warriors, refuses to be swept aside. She senses that her would-be assassin has more than malice, and she will do whatever it takes to forge the fragile promise of peace she knows her people need. The peace she knows that both Kingdoms need. Night after night, the killer strikes from the darkness- night after night, Annalise eludes death. With every narrow escape, her curiosity blossoms into something deeper, and the assassin's resolve begins to fracture.

However, King Abbadon will not be denied what he believes is his. What was to be a grand treaty celebration becomes a whirlwind of betrayal- a coup unleashed in crimson fury. As the throne falls and Annalise is captured, only one hope remains: the assassin who once drew a dagger to kill Annalise must now sprint through a kingdom in ruin to save the woman who stole her heart. In a world where every choice could be their last, Annalise and the assassin will risk everything to outwit a king that seeks their ruin- and to discover whether love can bloom beneath the blood-soaked banner of war.
