Hi! Just love writing stories, thought I'd share one with the world. This is a sapphic romance set in the late 1700s, between chambermaid and the lady of the house. I'd love feedback and constructive criticism. Thanks!
Note: Spacing got a bit messed up as well, sorry.

Grimm (DISCONTINUED)
DISCONTINUED Basically just a fairytale retelling of Snow White, Rose Red, Sleeping Beauty, Cinderella, and some other stories. I might mix in some folklore/mythology characters as well, but idk. Also there isn't much romance. And Prince Charming is the villain. I'm in the midst of writing new chapters, so the updates will be slow. Tw: forced marriage, abuse (spousal), rape, rebellion, death, homophobia, misogyny, and please tell me if missed anything. These are all kinda important to the plot so if you're sensitive to them just don't read it.Complete![HENRIETTA: PRAELUDIUM [TO BE EDITED]](https://img.wattpad.com/cover/295437638-256-k584448.jpg)

The Way Love Changes You; Book One: Love's Firsts
Love can feel empowering. Love can be deadly. It can be the greatest thing to ever happen. It can be the biggest mistake that can't be reversed. It can feel like a dream come true. It can feel like a nightmare that you can't wake up from. Love changes people in many ways, from mild to severe, whether it's beneficial or detrimental in anybody's life, no matter if you're lesbian, gay, straight, bisexual, pansexual, or a person who just loves people without a label. How does love change you? ******* It's like your basic high school love story, except it's with adults in their early-mid 20s, and they're either still in college or have graduated from college and have jobs. It's a modern slice of life narrative novel about lesbians trying to find true love or wanting to get back into the love game. Five of these lovely characters share their own little tales of how love changes them first go, or their first time in forever! Their perspectives on love as it takes effect either get sensual, dramatic, or to the extent of a slow burn, as they also deal with life's obstacles along the way and share a part in each other's stories. There are ups and downs as their own stories go along, and it all gets more suspenseful towards the end where problems unfortunately arise. Will things get better or worse from here for these lovestruck lesbians as the story goes on?

Breaking the Chains of Destiny
A Modern Royal Love Story Serena was supposed to be the villainess. In the world of Crowned by Love, she was fated to be Prince Kale Olliric's unwanted fiancée-arrogant, bitter, and doomed to be exiled when he fell for the novel's heroine. But Serena has a secret. She's not the same Serena. She woke up at the age of three with memories of her past life-a life where she had read this story before and knew exactly how it ended. Refusing to be a pawn in a tragic tale, she carves her own path, away from nobility and the royal court. Instead of chasing after a prince, she becomes a world-class athlete, an Olympic figure skater and a tennis champion. She builds her own fortune, invests wisely, and even opens her own teahouse-an escape from the chains of nobility. She is finally free. Or so she thought. When Prince Kale unexpectedly walks into her café, drawn to the woman who should have been his fiancée but has become something entirely different, Serena knows her carefully built walls are beginning to crack. He shouldn't care about her-she's done everything in her power to make sure of that. Yet, for the first time, the cold and untouchable prince seems intrigued. Now, Serena faces a choice: run further from fate or stand her ground against the prince who should have never noticed her. After all, she already defied the story once. What's stopping her from rewriting it completely? This is my original work, it is based on modern day royaltyComplete

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.
