This story is based on a reoccurring dream I have had. I have decided to expand on the dreams in my journal and create the story of aurelia theadora Mansfield. The story is set 1863 to the 1890s and follows the life of her and her family at their manor house. Aurelia is a strong minded young lady who knows what she wants and being just someone's wife is not it. She is out spoken and very strong willed she will not be lady like nor will she be seen and not heard. This story is a roller coater of emotion from loss to gain, life and death love and hate, trust and betrayal. I will try and post ever Saturday from now on.
If you would like to hear more about the book or my dream journal take a look at my tiktok page @theoneironautic.

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
