All Ivetta wants is a steady paycheck and consistent hours. Her mother's health is failing fast, and she has to earn enough money to keep paying the mounting doctor's bills. Getting a job as a palace maid seems like the answer she needs, even if she has a long commute.

Prince Chevalier, the Second Prince of Rhodolite, has a reputation for being a cruel, heartless monster. If it weren't for her circumstances, Ivetta would have quit after the first day.

She never expects him to come to her rescue when disaster strikes.

Suddenly, he's the only person with whom she truly feels safe, allowing the roots of an unlikely and impossible romance to take hold. Threats force them closer together, and the mysteries of the past come to bear. A glimmer of hope for a brighter future blossoms in the darkness.

Maybe, on the other side of pain and heartbreak, is the fairytale ending Ivetta never dreamed was possible.

Mercy & Fire by gnbrave

Adrenaline pumped in my veins as I pressed myself against the large tree trunk, hoping the darkness would conceal me from my impending doom. My heart hammered against my ribs and cold sweat gathered at my palms and chest. His armor clanked and clinked, scraping against itself as he grew closer and closer... Then silence. "Come out little rabbit." The voice was deep and menacing, and I would've soiled myself right there if I were any younger. I couldn't see very well, but I could see what little moonlight that filtered through the trees reflected off a pale face. His gaze was like a hungry, crazed wolf hunting its prey. "Found you." *** Roselena is satisfied with helping her father run his printing business in her childhood village, but in the face of kingdom rising against kingdom, she finds herself thrown into a world of political tensions, magical beings, and the plot of a God. She struggles to define who she is, what she believes, and who she can trust. Worst of all, she seems to have been snared by a cruel King who can't seem to leave her alone. In a world going up in flames, Roselena can only hope to find mercy amongst the burning fire. Warning: Themes of SA, religion, human sacrifice, gore, and some explicit language.

Waters of Prophecy: Pirate Legend Chronicles by lyonswriters

2/22/25 Hey and happy Saturday! Chapter Four part Two! Immerse yourself in a tale where the desires of mortals entangle with the whims of gods. Prince Krane is bound by duty, married off to Princess Olgarisha of Peraduthin while his father and brother wage war against her uncle. In a land torn by bloodshed and betrayal, his fate is not his own. Meanwhile, Shaw, an immortal cursed with endless life, longs for the one thing he cannot have-death. His only hope lies in an impossible voyage to Avalorn, a forgotten land of myth and peril, where a witch may hold the key to his release. In this dark and immersive adult fairytale, where monsters lurk, villains scheme, and the truth is often more horrifying than the lies, you are not invited to fall in love with our lore. You are not meant to sympathize with our characters. You are not asked to adore this world-but to lose yourself in the treacherous beauty of Panalora. Edited by Red Rebel.

"Are you sure you're one of the girls? You seem like a spy to me. Are you spy, Arabella?" My name rolled of his tongue perfectly and I stood completely still as he took another step closer to me. "You know, it's my job to eliminate spies." "Eliminate me huh? I'd like to see you try." I was surprised by my response, just as much as he was, and he raised one of his perfectly shaped eyebrows at me. "Is that a challenge? I like a challenge." *** I never wanted any of the lives set out for me. Unfortunately in the new world where the monarchy has taken over, there was never a choice for a girl like me. At 18, I'm forced to leave the academy. It's a horrible place where young girls are groomed to become the perfect wives, and yet it's the only home I've ever know . Now I'll either become a human incubator, breeding children for the kingdom, or sold at auction to a man who would make me his wife and slave. Little did I know I would become a chosen one. Forced to compete in the coming-of-age competition to win the heart of the Prince and the crown. All were terrible fates, but only one included him. ___________________________________________ - completed - Mature sexual content Cover credits go to Devilishwritings

Breaking the Ice by hahathatbitch

"Mama!" "Bébé courir!" (Baby run!) The woman screamed in French at her child to run away, the young girl looking at her mother with tears in her eyes. "Non!" (No) She screamed, her eyes widening when she watched her mother, the only family she ever knew, be stabbed through the heart with a sword. The man who did it took the sword out of the mother who lay dead, his evil menacing eyes looking down at the shaking girl as she slowly backed away. "Vous êtes le prochain."

You, my darling, are no monster." ------------------------- After the unfortunate loss of her mother, Renee runs away to a kingdom similar to her own, running from her past.

The Atonement of a Writer by 1OnceUponAFairytale1

Lilianne Marineau, aka Lili, a struggling writer like you and me, wakes up to find herself in the body of Arielle Dumont, the female protagonist in her own, half-written novel. What would happen next? She sure as hell doesn't know. At first, all Lili wants to do is survive, and is overcome with the feeling that she had been bound by chains of her own making. Soon enough, though, she realizes she had been atoning for the wrong thing--and maybe, just maybe it was not her fault. A story of a writer who has to live as a character in a world she hasn't quite fully developed yet. A terrible writer with terrible concepts of magic in a fantasy world--and yes, there are glitches. TW: anxiety/depression/existential crisis esp in the earlier chapters, but quite mild, nothing we all haven't experienced before (I think anyone would reasonably panic in MC's situation). Still overall fairly lighthearted

An alliance that will secure a large army for her hateful brother's war against the fae. When destiny intervenes and her carriage gets attacked by bandits, she falls into fae territory.

Is there something more to the lingering pull they feel towards each other? Will years of hate between humans and fae win out? How are their fates intertwined by the past? -----.------- "Do you know what you are asking?" Elvin's baritone voice vibrated down Aria's back.
