ON HOLD

A Royalty AU - Ross Lynch x Laura Marano

Prince Ross Lynch has spent his entire life performing.

For the cameras.
For the crown.
For a future he never chose.

With an arranged engagement looming and the weight of a nation pressing down on him, Ross does the unthinkable - he disappears. Under a false identity, he enrolls at an elite university determined to live, just once, as someone ordinary.

No titles.
No guards.
No expectations.

That's where he meets Laura Marano.

Sharp-tongued, fiercely independent, and completely unimpressed by arrogance, Laura sees through Ross almost immediately. She notices the posture. The careful way he speaks. The way authority follows him even when he tries to outrun it.

She knows he's hiding something.

And when she figures out he's not just hiding something - he's hiding everything - she doesn't bow.

She challenges him.
Teases him.
Treats him like a person instead of a prince.

For the first time in his life, Ross feels seen.

But secrets don't stay buried when you wear a crown.

When paparazzi expose their relationship, the palace demands his immediate return - and a public engagement to a woman chosen for him years ago. Torn between duty and the only person who has ever loved him without condition, Ross is forced to make an impossible choice:

Protect the throne...
Or fight for the girl who makes him forget he ever needed one.

In a world ruled by tradition, scandal, and sacrifice, love may be the most rebellious act of all.
