The Notorious (The Deceived Series) Sequel to Cloaked Beauty

Celeste Edulici and Derek Loredo are on the run after Radeskian, the enemy country of Lorendian, have invaded their country. There's a lot hanging on what Celeste can do, since getting their country back and saving as many people as she can seems to be in her hands. But being on the run isn't so easy, not that anybody thought it would be.
   Francesca La Rosetta - or actually Francesca Lockheart, the princess of Radeskian who had pretended to be the princess of Serenia, has been able to keep the fact that Radeskian has taken over Lorendian and Serenia a secret, though her ability to do so is unknown. Those in Lorendian who don't live near the city, aren't always informed about the goings on in the castle and marketplace. So they believe that everything in Lorendian is right, that it's at peace, and that the royal family is still in power. But they couldn't be more wrong.
   What's worse, everyone thinks that Celeste is a criminal, a traitor. There's a high price for her head, because apparently, she had tried to kill the queen, and now she's on the loose. It makes running away that much harder. Oh, and she's not wanted dead or alive. She's wanted alive. Which sounds better, but really isn't.
   Francesca wants her found, and the Radeskians are always right on their trail, so Derek and Celeste must be careful.  
   But to take down this empire that Francesca intends to create, they need more information. They need to know more about the Radeskians plans. But they find something else entirely.
   This story will take you on a thrill ride of romance, action, and more secrets than you ever thought possible.

That girl: a Black butler fanfic; COMPLETED by CucumberLionfish
26 parts Complete
Celeste Constantine is no normal girl, not even in modern day standards. It's 2020 and Celeste lives in a small apartment, with her cat Smile and her young daughter Aria. But that's not what makes Celeste different from others, what makes her different is that her father is the Greek God Apollo, and as such had inherited his powers. You'd think having powers would make her life easy, but it's been anything but easy. Her mother was a human who hated her daughter and abused her, her father would come and go and was never really there for her. As an adult life is not much better, the only thing that truly makes her happy is her daughter Aria, and watching anime; specifically Black Butler. However one day, while Celeste was watching Black Butler, the TV started to glow brighter and brighter until the whole room was enveloped in white light and she felt herself being pulled in. Her daughter called out to her, but Celeste couldn't reach her in time. When the light faded, Celeste found herself in a forest all alone. She wandered around until she found herself on the streets of London, where she eventually bumped into a tall man dressed in a butlers outfit and a young boy at his side. Celeste almost fainted from seeing them; she was face to face with characters from her favorite anime! Ciel Phantomhive offered Celeste room and board at his manor, as long as she worked for him as a maid. Knowing she needed a place to stay until she could find a way back home, Celeste accepted the offer. Taking up residence with Ciel at the Phantomhive manor, Celeste began her journey. The Butler and Ciel are confused by her strange behavior and way of speaking and even more confused by her lack of willingness to talk about herself to them. The Butler is interested and the earl is suspicious. Just who is this strange girl that they've brought into their home? And what is she hiding? * I own nothing but the OC's and plot.

Olive Branch by Ursula_Inc

"This is an Angel girl named Maisie Lark. She hasn't ever stepped foot into the 'real world'. Attempting to break the lock is useless and I have the key. I've extended the olive branch. Maisie's your motive. Come find me when you're ready." Cecilia Star has been alive long enough to know what it's like to be a demon in the human realm, but she's also been alive long enough to cope with her everyday life. But when she wakes up handcuffed to a strange Angel she's never met before, she's thrown for a loop. Cecilia assumes it's all just one big, extremely cruel prank by the twins in order to rile her up and test her limits. After all, Maisie is everything that Cecilia would rather leave behind her, determined, opinionated, and so very clearly wrong. But it doesn't take Cecilia and Maisie long to realize that the handcuff prank is a little more than just a lighthearted joke. The thing about Demon metal is that it is a fickle thing. It can only be unlocked by the person who has the key and no matter what method is used, it cannot be broken. Cecilia would rather just forget the whole thing, refuse to give Ezekiel the satisfaction he so wants, and remain handcuffed to Maisie for the rest of her life. It doesn't take long to realize that it's just not possible. Maisie is everything that she shouldn't be in the human realm. Bigoted, rude, and annoyingly difficult. She can't even get close to Cecilia without making some sort of remark on how she can't stand Demons. As the time ticks down and options become less and less, maybe being handcuffed to each other will teach Cecilia and Maisie a thing or two about themselves. Maybe running from the past isn't the right choice and perhaps, maybe even a Demon and Angel could fall in love too. (Entered in the Open Novella Contest 2022 under prompt 79.

A/N- This story is not as cliched as the title or summary makes it out to be. It's not cliched AT ALL. Vivanna Des Chanel: how would one describe her? Sweet, sensitive, and understanding. No one knew that under that girl-next-door facade Vivanna had a series of disturbing secrets that she strived to hide and run away from every single day of her life. Her motto in life is to survive. Sounds simple? For her it isn't. Leon Colton was just another bad boy. The type that mess with the rules, get away with anything at all because of their financial background, smoke, do all the wrong things and have the ability to charm any lady with a simple glance in their direction. Or at least that's what Vivanna thought. ~~ “The story I am about to tell you is about a girl. A girl who fell in love with a boy like no other; a boy who had the heart of an angel but wore the facade of a devil; a boy who loved her with all his heart even when she didn't love him; a boy who was probably the lord’s greatest creation. And that's how the tale that depicts how an innocent crush turned into forbidden love, how two lives were entangled and then ripped apart from each other begins. Because love is not always meant to be and sometimes you lose the thing that is most dearest to you when you need it the most." This is a story about Vivanna and Leon; two very different people thrown together in a peculiar mix of thrills and deadly secrets. This is their story. A/N- Maybe one day, I'll start to write this story again. For now though, it's been discontinued because I do not enjoy writing it at all, and that could deteriorate the quality of the work. Thanks.
