*Content Introduction*

I loved with all I had. My family ignored me, my fiancé didn't love me.

'Love conquers all' - my mother was wrong. The painful truth dawned after fourteen years of unrequited love. Wanting to escape somewhere, at the victory banquet, I saw the war hero, Vicander, who turned out to be the beautiful man I had met on the streets.

"Please allow me the privilege of having you."

Taking the Duke's hand, leaving everything behind. Now, the family who ignored me, the fiancé who never loved me, tries to cling to Olivia.

--------------------------------------------

*Brief Summary*

Olivia Madeleine, a princess entangled in a life of noble intricacies and unfulfilled love, finds herself in a story of familial discord and yearning for acknowledgment. Born into the shadow of a tragedy that claimed her mother, Olivia's entry into the Madelleine household sparks a chain of events that reshapes her destiny. Her struggle for acceptance from a father who sees her as a harbinger of misfortune, and her longing for love from Leopold Franz, her betrothed who remains distant, paints a poignant picture of a young woman navigating the turbulent waters of noble expectations and personal desires.

Amidst the challenges, Olivia's encounters with unexpected allies and adversaries reveal the complexity of her world. Her journey from being considered an outsider within her own family to becoming a figure of grace and resilience in the face of adversity underscores a tale of growth and self-discovery. The narrative weaves through moments of kindness and cruelty, love and indifference, highlighting Olivia's transformation as she endeavors to carve out her own place within a society that often seems unforgiving.

"I've had enough of your games," He growled, sending an involuntary shiver up my spine. "For the last time, who... the fuck... are you?" The demand had his voice dropping a pitch lower with each word and it suddenly got harder to breathe. A ripple of anxiety began a slow crawl up my spine, and I moistened my lips. "I- I'm Willow, Julie's girlfriend?" Why was I nervous all of a sudden? "Again with this shit, I don't care who the fuck your little girlfriend is. What do you want?" ~•~•~•~ Following her father's passing, Willow Macomber and her family were plunged into the harsh realities of poverty, where they struggled to make ends meet while burdened with debt. Saddled with a neglectful mother consumed by addiction and betrayed by a world that preyed on the vulnerable, Willow's once fragile heart hardened over time, leading her to develop a deep mistrust of men and seek solace with a woman who offered the love and security she longed for. Unbeknownst to Willow, Julie's deception poses a grave threat, entangling her in a complex web of deceit. Enter Dorian Wilhelm-White: ruthless, self-absorbed, volatile, and strikingly handsome, Dorian embodies everything Willow despises. Yet from their very first encounter, she was his, whether she liked it or not; and against his better judgment, Dorian is drawn to her fierce defiance with a passion. Sparks fly despite their stark differences, and attraction, unlike anything before simmers beneath the surface of their anger and suspicion. However, Dorian harbors his own darkness, and Willow soon comes to realize that giving in to him may come at a steep price... But is it one she's ready to pay?
A Lord and Lace (Regency au! Prince Arthur x oc) by kfacecookie
1 part Complete
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.
