So when they find themselves bound by a marriage of convenience, despite their mutual reluctance and disdain, they must navigate turbulent emotions and societal expectations as they confront their differences and hidden pasts. 

After all, love may just conquer all, even hate.

(Frisk's Mother Reader | Slow Burn) Monsters are free, and Frisk is safe and sound at home. It feels like fairy tales are real, though a rough break-up after eight years of marriage quickly sobers that thinking. With the break-up follows a proposal straight out of a steamy novel: share a room with a man you've just met, while you get back on your feet and work on the process of finding a new place to move into. Turns out, the guy who smells like grease and beer from how often he visits Grillby's is a lot less romantic than you would think. And it's precisely living together what gets you to know all the icky things about him. Until you end up falling for him with each nice little thing he does, and suddenly... It feels like all those icky things start to matter less and less. More so, when things take a sharp turn and you're in the middle of a gang fight, helping him however you can despite not knowing what you're signing up for. Overlooking details like bloody clothing, chipped teeth, and reports of missing people on the telly make seeing him drinking straight from the milk carton a much more tolerable offense.

"We never asked for this. Our lives were written by others, our hearts shackled to a contract neither of us wanted. But somewhere between the lies we told ourselves, we found something we never expected to feel-something dangerous, the truth ." Love was a luxury I never sought, never allowed myself to want. I built walls so high, pushing people away to keep them safe, only letting a few in for fleeting moments of pleasure. But when her parents demand an arranged marriage to unite our families, my father has no choice but to agree. Defy them, and we risk everything. I knew her already-knew the way the sun made her skin glow, the way her curly brown hair danced with every step she took. But did I like her? That was a whole different question. Our families' hatred ran deep, centuries of bloodshed and betrayal fueling the fire that had burned between us for as long as I could remember. The only reason I even tolerated her was because of her brother-my best friend. The one person I thought I could trust... until I learned I was never supposed to be his ally at all. Now, fate has forced us into a marriage neither of us wanted. It feels like a foreign limb, an unwanted tumor growing at my side, suffocating every ounce of freedom I had. The question is-can we both survive this? Or will one of us end up broken, shattered by the weight of what we never asked for? But somewhere along the way, the impossible happened: I fell for her. Completely. Undoubtedly. And now, I don't know if we'll make it out alive... or if we'll destroy each other in the process.
