It takes one moment. A single moment can turn one's life upside down, but would Meliora FarrowDane's moment change her future for the better or for worse? Does she have what it takes to bear the weight? 

***

He got up to leave and Meliora stood, her body moving as programmed. She bowed, even though she did not want the conversation to end. The whole thing sounded ridiculous. It was early in the morning, the day after the announcement was held off and it dawned on her that this was the circumstance they were told had occurred. She was standing in front of the prince, who was forcing her into taking a role she was not equipped for. She would go from being the village victim to a princess because of her father, who had somehow become a favourite of the royal family. The same father the village called coward and traitor. 

She was to lead those who had bullied her for years. Side by side with the prince who had heard about her treatment and done nothing. It made her angry. So angry that she couldn't conjure up the words to express the emotion building in her. When she saw the prince at the door her mouth moved before she could process it. 

"I hated", she called, trying to suppress the irritation in her voice. The prince stopped. 

She hadn't meant for her voice to come out like that, but it was her reality. In another world, in an ideal life she could see herself living in the castle. Growing alongside Orson and the prince. The three of them running around, playing together, learning together, leading together but that was another world. 

She took a deep breath, mustering up the courage to stand her ground as the word 'no' escaped her lips. 

A/N: HEYYY, so this is such a rough draft there are many errors but that's okay. I hope you guys enjoy and interact with this! I love hearing your thoughts. 

Also I will try to update every week! Stay tunedddd < 3

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.
WAR IN ALDORIA: SHADOWS OF THE THRONE. by Rya_Robyn
6 parts Ongoing Mature
"There's a saying my people use in times like this" "Like this?... how often do you people get tied up to trees in the forest at midnight?!" I snapped "Do you wanna hear the saying or not?" I sigh "Fine...what is the stupid saying, oh I mean the wise proverb you galshitters use" I roll my eyes I hear him chuckle softly at the other side of the tree "It goes... when you lock your heart, the walls you build become your own prison" I take a deep breath before speaking "HOW THE HELL DOES THAT APPLY HERE?!!?!!" Princess Isadora is the third daughter of the six royal siblings of Aldoria. Her Father the king is growing ill and soon has to step down so her oldest brother, Elias, can take to the throne. With threats of war against neighboring kingdoms, Isadora has been chosen, more like forced to marry Prince Lysander of Galdora, in order for their kingdoms to find peace with each other. Isadora is not your typical kind, caring Snow White of a princess, she's harsh, mean and even cruel. She might look nice but her heart is allergic to love and affection, the very thought of being in love with someone and being a wife to a man is repulsive to her. Lysander on the other hand, has a cold and stoic persona, or so people think. He's actually a very kindhearted person who can't bear the sight of others suffering. But that doesn't mean he's weak, he can be very hotheaded and strict if it comes down to it. Maybe he's too confident, flirty and cocky, but he's still a good person. Sometimes. Both are very stubborn and don't take no for an answer. But now that they don't have a choice but to be wedded for the benefit of their kingdoms, will they be able to open their hearts and give in to their growing attraction for one another, or will the pressures of war get to them first?

I flinch as his hand reaches to my face, and aggressively pulls down the cloak from my head. He surveys my tear stained face and jewelry all the way down to my dress. Then he speaks, "what's your name?" I open my mouth but no words come out. Fear grips me again. "I believe I asked you a question," his eyes grow darker. "Al-Alice" I whisper.

The Lost Life of Laraine by BearGoRawr
53 parts Ongoing
She lead a rather tragic life. The black sheep of her family due to her lack of affinity for fire. Her affinity was quite the opposite. Water in fact. Already in a time when women did not really have much political power or rights, she was outcasted by her family despite being of nobility. Still allowed to live in the distant west wing of the massive Grand Duke's manor, she has never eaten a single meal with her family nor extended family, and has spent her loneliness in her books and sword lessons. Although only taught by the head butler and one of the low ranked knights of the family, she was quite bright and if her family would have given her a chance she would have done great things. If only she didn't die at such a young age. Married off to some "hero" of sort that had slayed the Dragon of the North who was terrorizing the land and threatened the kingdom, this hero also had an affinity for fire and held her in disdain like the rest of her family. Suddenly a girl of another world was transported to their world, picked up by this hero and put into his secure care. The pair soon fell for each other despite the hero's marriage, and many believed Laraine got jealous of this girl of mystery, and tried to kill her. This was definitely not true. But because the girl was favored by the temple and kingdom Laraine was quickly arrested and put on trial. You can probably tell what happened to Laraine. But something strange happened the day of her execution. As soon as her decapitated head hit the ground the sky turned blood red and it began to rain fire. No one survived that day. But for some reason time went back, and Laraine was back to being a child, but with no memory of her future. There were select few in her life, however, that remembered her tragedy and now perhaps will take action to prevent it. NOTE: I'M AWARE THERE ARE A LOT OF INCONSISTENCIES. IT WILL BE EDITED SOME DAY BUT RIGHT NOW I'M JUST TRYING TO FINISH IT.
