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.

"You're not supposed to be awake," she said to him. Her voice was rather deep, but somehow, still soft and feminine. "And you're not supposed to be here." He didn't dare get out of bed, but he rose onto his elbow. She squinted for a moment and then raised one corner of her mouth. "You naughty boy! Been skimping on your meds, have you?" ********************************************** He is utterly lost. Lost in time, without control. Lost in a world that's strange and daunting. But he must not give up. He's a fighter, after all. And though his sword fighting skills don't count for much here, it's the unrelenting spirit that can either break or save him. And her... Always coming out of seemingly nowhere. Always renewed, yet so familiar. Come to give comfort or just remind him fate has not forgotten him. And each time she leaves, it's like she rips a part of him along. They share a common understanding about the subtleties of life. She's the only one who gets him, yet that gnawing feeling that there's so much more about her just keeps him on his toes. But she never stays long enough for him to find out. Until one day when he convinces her to stay for longer. And the mystery starts to surface. But she's not used to it. She runs... never expecting him to follow into hell. Disaster strikes and breaks him, in a way that turns him callous and cruel. And that in turn breaks her, making her sacrifice her love for his greater good. But does fate agree with that? This is a rollercoaster of emotions, not built for the faint of heart. But it's for those who will endure through the pain and suffering that the greatest rewards await on the other side. Come! Join the adventure!

What is a flower, but a plant? What is Dream's life, but stagnant.

(𝙱𝚕𝚊𝚌𝚔 𝙱𝚞𝚝𝚕𝚎𝚛 𝚡 𝚆𝚒𝚝𝚌𝚑! 𝙾𝙲) "ᴀʟᴡᴀʏꜱ ᴛʜʀᴏᴡ ꜱᴘɪʟʟᴇᴅ ꜱᴀʟᴛ ᴏᴠᴇʀ ʏᴏᴜʀ ʟᴇꜰᴛ ꜱʜᴏᴜʟᴅᴇʀ. ᴋᴇᴇᴘ ʀᴏꜱᴇᴍᴀʀʏ ʙʏ ʏᴏᴜʀ ɢᴀʀᴅᴇɴ ɢᴀᴛᴇ. ᴘʟᴀɴᴛ ʟᴀᴠᴇɴᴅᴇʀ ꜰᴏʀ ʟᴜᴄᴋ... ᴀɴᴅ ꜰᴀʟʟ ɪɴ ʟᴏᴠᴇ ᴡʜᴇɴᴇᴠᴇʀ ʏᴏᴜ ᴄᴀɴ." Erica Owens, a powerful witch and the younger sister of Gillian and Sally Owens, was discontent with her life. After the incident with Gilly's abusive ex, everything should have been perfect. Both her sisters had found their happiness, the curse on their family had been broken, and the people of their hometown had finally accepted them. But despite all this, Erica felt like something was missing. That feeling was proven correct when a love spell she cast as a child comes back to bite her in the ass, and the spirit of her infamous ancestor drags her through time to 'find the missing pieces of her heart'. Stuck in Victorian London of all places, Erica has to carve out a place for herself in a new time and place, while also changing a few fates, stealing several hearts and scandalizing the locals. Oh, and killing a few people. That feels like it deserves a mention. (Or in which, Sally and Gilly from Practical Magic have a younger sister who basically gets Isekai'ed through time, and Erica just wants a nap. Featuring a lovesick Sebastian, hot Victorian boytoys, Grell being an icon, Ciel slowly going insane, pointless high society drama, tequila and sticky notes. Oh, and a cat)
Fate in his hands by mai951371
5 parts Ongoing Mature
Still mourning from the untimely death of her mother, and a week before leaving the Nassau county with her best-friend, and with that, everything else she had ever known, Sol find herself wrongfully charged and incarcerated for the murder of a member of her family. Already depressed at the idea of her once-promising future now marred by the bleak confine of a prison cell, she now also has to the deal with the fact that she has just caught the eyes of a man, whose power and reputation for brutality alone precede him. ....... "Little flower" , He said, his fingers gently tilting my head up to look at him. "Yes", I breathlessly exhaled "If you ever speak to me like that again, I will rip your fucking throat out.", He continued with a terrifying smile. ...... - And because his ancestors were never picky about their business endeavours, partly due to their direct ties to royalty, and due to their connections to upper-class members of the justice system in Europe and eventually in North America and Asia, the man's family had been direct benefactors of both world wars due to their involvement in the weapon industry, and as suppliers of the adrenaline-pumping drug both the Germans and the French/Americans were injecting in their soldiers before sending them to battle. It's safe to say the man's power knew no bound or restrain. Power that carried through with every single one of the man's actions. Indeed, The man never yelled and never raised his voice, he never had to. The man was curt in his speech. His deep, raspy, baritone voice almost always resonated through with the same monotonous tone. Unless it was to handle his bi-daily entertainments, which were often eccentric in genre and deriving from eclectic sources. It was only then, you'd see the man's eyes twinkle with amusement, frequently at the expense of others. - ______ WARNING [Contains mature, potentially triggering content]
