"...and that's how you tame an unruly prisoner, 101." Your temper typically got in the way with any minor inconvenience in your world.

When you discover a battle ring within the underwater prison, you find yourself challenging the authority of the Warden in the Fortress. He, however, would never let his title be stolen by someone he found to be so troublesome.

Let Me Hate You [✓]
[Wriothesley X Fem!Reader (Genshin Impact)] --- Every girl wants him. Every guy admires her. But Wriothesley and Noctua only see each other through a scope. Wriothesley - the unshakable Duke of the Fortress of Meropide, feared enforcer of Fontaine's justice system. Noctua - a faceless thief, ghost of the rebellion, and the most wanted woman in the city. He stands for order. She exists to tear it down. When a string of high-profile thefts leaves behind nothing but black coins and public embarrassment, Wriothesley takes the case personally. He wants her caught. Caged. Forgotten. But she's always one step ahead - until a dance, a slip, and a stolen glance throw them into each other's orbit for real. They don't flirt. They fight. They don't touch. They wound. But the closer they clash, the more the line between hunter and hunted begins to blur. And hatred... doesn't burn this slow unless there's something deeper underneath. Enemies. Partners. Obsession. This is not a love story. This is what happens when you fall for the one you were born to destroy.Complete

Neuvillette - Bound [Genshin Impact]
[Neuvillette x Reader | Slow burn Novel] The first thing people always noticed about me was my hands. Cold. Always cold. Not the kind of chill that fades with gloves or a warm drink, but a deep, unshakable frost that clung to my skin and never let me go. My parents-kind, pragmatic entrepreneurs-chalked it up to impaired circulation. Nothing a little hard work and a good pair of gloves couldn't fix. It was winter, and I was a bundle of sheets. They took me in, raised me as their own, and we turned our small family business into something thriving and worth passing down. But I never truly fit into their world of trade routes and negotiations. I wanted-no, I craved something out of reach. So, when the opportunity arose to expand their business into Fontaine, I seized it. My own branch, my own rules. I'm terrified. How could I not be? But maybe it's worth it. A fresh start in a city of glittering waters and ironclad justice, where the rain reigns supreme, and magic and technology kiss in an impossible marriage. Little did I know... Oh, so little, I did know. 🎖️#1 Neuvillette 11/25 🎖️#1 Genshinfanfic 02/26 🎖️#1 NeuvillettexReader 06/25 🎖️#1 Hydrodragon 12/25 🎖️#1 Hydro 11/25 🎖️#1 Fontaine 11/25
