Renaissance Stories

Sometimes you just might have to die to live again. ***** When art historian Reine Baldwin meets Gabe Moran, a charming journalist, she has no idea their blossoming love will shatter her comfortable life. But a series of clues lead Reine to discover that she's not alone in knowing that she was born centuries ago and-worse yet-there are many things she apparently doesn't even remember. Reine has to face a forgotten past and a forgotten ex-husband (the handsome billionaire Max Baldovini), who-like her-is immortal and cannot truly die. Should she trade her ordinary life with Gabe for the love of Max, a man who's worshipped her for half a millennium? The choice should be easy, until Reine starts to remember things that Max is desperate to make her forget. [[word count: 100,000-150,000 words]]

(note: Story cover has been updated May 2023 :) New chapter covers will be added slowly too) Catherine Wolfe didn't know why she was chosen, or if she was at all. She only knew she'd been pulled through time to help a family involved in a war she'd never thought to exist, and that it was her only way back home. What she didn't expect, though, was the young man with whom her fate became inexplicably entwined. Ezio/OC Slow burn -- #1 in assassin's creed, #6 Ezioauditore 12/15/2019!!! I've been a fan of Assassin's Creed for a long time (not quite as long as Transformers), and I've always loved Ezio's games. I actually had this idea for a long time, but my previous Transformers fanfic and school took up all my time. Thanks to a friend, though, I have my inspiration, and expect this story to go places. For those who've read my other story, you're going to recognize the OC, and you've found me out: she's my go-to gall. I love using her in my fandoms, so if you enjoyed watching her grow in her first fic, I guarantee you'll love watching her in this one, too.  This time around, though, she's facing something perhaps far more dangerous. Whether or not she makes it... well, only time will tell and you'll have to keep reading her newest adventure to find out! As usual, if you see any mistakes, please let me know! Editing is never 100% full proof, so I appreciate the help. And don't be afraid to comment or share your opinion! I love hearing from you all and will do my best to reply to all your comments. :) Updates will be whenever I finish a new chapter, so hopefully on a weekly bases! And with that all said, enjoy Assassin's Creed: Chronos!

At court, he is the fool. She is the crown. Their clandestine love is the most magnificent treason of all. By day, Princess Élodie watches from her high throne as Laurent performs his painted jests, his sharp brilliance buried beneath a mask of mockery. By night, she casts aside her heavy silks for the humble cloth of a maid, seeking the only freedom she has ever known beyond the palace gates. It was in these shadowed gardens, stripped of title and bell, that they first met, two nameless strangers falling in love with the souls behind the masks. Even when the truth emerged, the fire between them could not be quenched. Their furtive world is a sanctuary built of whispers and stolen breath, made possible only by the brave deception of Élodie's servant, Sabine. While Sabine occupies the royal bed to ward off suspicion, the King, Auguste, begins to find himself enchanted by the "Princess" he thinks he finally knows. In this palace of gilded mirrors, the deception is total. The King is blinded by a servant's grace, and the Princess is bound to a jester's heart. They have woven a web so intricate that even the sharpest blade seems dull, but in a court where secrets are the only currency, the cost of a mask is higher than any dare to dream.

However, this dream collapses when Edith falls in love with the devastating carbon-copy of him, his sister. 'We stood there closer than the constellations in the sky. We embraced and kissed like it was a final scene in a movie, something as beautiful as the city light trying to mimic the stars at night, as if the moon shed a beautiful silky ray upon us. As if it was the start of something new, even though it couldn't be the start of anything at all.'

Rome, Italy 1471 Cecilia Gavino is nothing but a common street whore, a prostitute, a means of pleasure for paying men. Raffaele Sansoni Galeoti Riario is the illegitimate son of Francesco della Rovere, soon to be known as His Holiness - Pope Sixtus IV, the ruler of the papal states, and one of the most powerful men of his time. Thereby making his sons - Princes of the Church. Evidently someone of such high dignities cannot fraternize with a peasant, a whore at that. But Raffaele has always been a rule breaker – and is quite unsatisfied with the ‘pure’ life of a cardinal. A play-hard-to-get whore and a corrupted son of a powerful man only equals one thing. Trouble.
