In an alternative AU with no sundrop/moonstone, Eugene's uncle Hector takes control of the Dark Kingdom after Edmund's death. Seventeen years later Rapunzel travels to the Dark Kingdom to marry Eugene who she's been engaged too since a child - only to discover that the engagement has been called off and the Dark Kingdom is not as it was when Edmund was the king. It doesn't take long for her to figure out Prince Eugene is keeping secrets.
Rated mature for non-graphic violence and major character death- perhaps a little bad language, but no smut or gore.
Its pairings are New Dream and a brief nod towards Quirin/Adira.
Updates every Tuesday - The story has been planned out to the end.

Grim Echoes
Maeve's ability to touch others' souls can be heartbreaking and confusing, but when she connects with two murderers, it turns her world upside down. Are they still killers if they only kill monsters? What starts as a random attack on the street stopped by two strangers quickly escalates as Maeve discovers her attackers were demons. Thrusting her into their violent world, Maeve struggles to hold on to her humanity, making choices she never believed she would have to make. Disturbed but drawn to each of them. Will's bestial nature calls to her one moment and rejects her the next. While a powerful attachment to Ander's gentle soul comforts her, but every time they connect, she feels his darkness just below the surface. Will's entire life has been a war against monsters, alongside his best-friend Ander. Honor bound by duty, he is brutal, relentless, and uncompromising in his mission to protect the masses. He didn't understand how much his world would change after saving Maeve, or how she would shatter his convictions. Ander may have magical talents but in his mind, nothing will redeem him from the abomination he is. Bound by more than shed blood, Will, his adopted brother, and only friend. Together they seek and destroy aberrations that poison the world. Until Maeve touched his hand, there was nothing else but the mission. With her, Ander could see a different side of himself, a different life. This is a character driven story written from the 3 main characters POV's. It's a mature adult dark romance & contains dubious triggering situations that some might find offensive. If you want an instant, fearless heroine, Maeve won't be it. Her story is discovering who she is & what power love can bring versus kicking monsters asses. Power & money aren't the only things that make the world turn & those that wield the greatest power control destiny. If you're looking for heroes, Will & Ander are NOT it. If you're drawn to tortured villainous souls, you'll enjoy their saga.Complete

"It was the first thought she ever shared with me." Skylar pursed her lips. "She likes you very much." "What about you?" he teased gently. "How do you feel about me?" She set her jaw and once again managed to look down her nose at him while staring up at him. "Well... well, I'm rather fond of you, Orion." He let out a relieved laugh and pulled her into his chest again. "What a relief. I was worried it was just me." He nuzzled her temple, inhaling deeply, his dragon fully at peace. The words "I love you" were right on the tip of his tongue, but he knew it was too soon for that. He would have to hold them in just a little while longer.

One girl. One dragon. One bond that could save-or destroy-the realm, Cealumbrea. Aurelia never asked to be brought into another world even in the face of danger, but when the rift dragged her across the divide it left her with scars, questions, and a tether to the dragon she entered it with. Nyx, her shadow-flame companion, is feared as much as she is. Unmistakably powerful, untrained, and marked by secrets even Aurelia does not yet understand. But this new realm is nothing like the one she left behind. Dragons live alongside riders, but not all bonds are welcome. Whispers of ancient dark magic rise beneath the surface, and Aurelia finds herself caught in a web of shifting politics, assholes, and enemies that do not fight with swords alone. Even boys give her a run for her money. How can she survive in a world with threats she doesn't yet comprehend, rules she has never been taught, and powers she doesn't fully control? And when her bond with Nyx sparks suspicion and fear, Aurelia must decide-will she bend to the realm's rules, or shatter them?
