    Summary

    Under the moon, an overwhelmed Mari decides to rest. Only to never wake up the same. When Mari is left to dry, she isn’t dead. Nay, what touched her gave her the power to overcome death itself at the cost of everything in her previous life. And after 4 years of learning and looking from the sidelines, she has to help her friends avoid their own deaths, or live alone forever as a mother with no clan.

    When the pressure comes crashing down like a waterfall, maybe blood IS thicker than water, including your found family.

    TLDR: Vampire Mari.

    Summary

    As the final chord rang out across the hall, strong and harmonious, the clapping began – also strong, but not quite as harmonious. Sunny took the violin away from his neck, holding it and the bow in the same hand, and faced forwards. Mari stepped up next to him, radiant as always in her black dress, beaming at the crowd. As they always did, she offered out a hand and he took it before they bowed together, bringing the applause to a deafening volume.

    The lights started to dim, and the audience became visible. Sunny scanned the crowd, looking for four people. He knew they wouldn’t be there, even if he hoped for it a little. Or a lot. It was just force of habit by this point. It had been a long time since he had been with those four.

    An AU where the recital went well. Maybe too well.

    Summary

    Benedict Bridgerton never wanted the crown, but fate—and tragedy—made him King. Now, consumed by duty and grief, he is driven by a singular purpose: to hunt the Beast stalking the Shadow Forest, the creature he blames for his family's ruin.

    Sophie Baek just wants to survive. Hiding in plain sight within the castle walls as the new governess to the young princes, she guards a deadly secret: she is the prey the King desperately seeks.

    Between mythology lessons, arguments over messy books, and an electric tension neither can ignore, Sophie discovers that the true danger isn't the King's blade, but the solitude of the man behind the crown.

    OR; King Benedict searches the forest for a monster, unaware that she is currently right under his nose as his siblings' new governess. A high-stakes retelling where the Beast is the girl, and the Beauty is the King holding the gun.
