The Jester and The Queen
So Queen Marigold had her husband beheaded. What of it? The adultering loser had broken her heart. What she didn't expect though was that her trusted council would turn against her and that her sister Elsbeth, second to the throne, would use this momentum to overthrow her reign and banish her to Baile na Grod, which - let's be honest - is nothing more than an inhospitable rock in the ocean. As surprising as that chain of events might be, nothing could've prepared her for the shock of her creepy-ass jester volunteering to keep his queen company in exile. What the fuckety fuck fuck! She might as well throw herself off a cliff right now. πππππππππππππ ONC2025 entry Prompt 52.

Unforgettable - Heartless
It had been two years ago when Cath's changed forever, when she fell in love with a jester and believed in the impossible, until she was pulled back into the cruel reality, and became the infamous Queen of Hearts. Now, she has a dream of the Sisters giving her another chance to end her story differently, and get the happily ever after she's always wanted. But how is that possible? Well as it seems, Fate has a way of surprising us in the most unlikely of ways. =========================================== Disclaimer: This is a fan made sequel to Marissa Meyer's Heartless, so, if you plan on reading this, know that you'll obviously have to have read Heartless to get what happened. Also note this story was made because of how upset I was with the ending of Heartless, and I didn't find what I wanted in other fan fictions, so I made my own. Please excuse if the characters are inaccurate, I'm not the best writer out there, so if you have some constructive criticism for me, don't hesitate to tell me. Disclaimer: This was written about 3 years ago now. I thought I may as well share it now. :)Complete

Can a monster still long for love, or will her curse consume what little humanity she has left?
The Daughter of the Goddess
PREVIEW 'That BITCH!' Oh, she was going to pay one way or another. I just need to get out of here, or wherever 'here' is. Calming down, I started to retrace my steps. I remembered that the ambulance came and I was rushed to the hospital. The doctors were anxious since they said I was losing a lot of blood. The last thing I heard was . . . 'The flat line sound of my heart stopping,' I recalled. I am... dead. The name's Lumeria, and just like you, I have no idea what the hell I'm doing here. (The character, not the author) Well, we shall see. Toodles!
