The city of Ustroria is the pillar of society: wealthy; efficient; and, most of all, safe. Or so they say. What happens when Lielatha, a privileged, wealthy, and rebellious Royal girl, disobeys the city law and ventures past it's walls?
All her life she's been told about he dangers of the forest, the creatures lurking in the foliage, beast crouching in the shadows, and a notoriously violent band of outlaws hiding in the shadows, raiding towns and preying on the weak and naive. Every well-minded Royal lives in constant fear of these pirates, but to her the stories seem almost too convenient to be true. She breaks out of line on a search for adventure, but this curious kitten barely escapes with her life. She comes face-to-face with the villains, and falls head-over-heels in love.

They say nothing can stop true love, but can it overcome her strict upbringing, and his questionable past?

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.
