- A Reylo Victorian / Cinderella AU - 

Written for @midnightbluefox for the Anniversary Fic Exchange organized by @thereylowritingden

Summary: Rey is a disgraced scullery maid longing for the duke next door, watching from afar as he picks flowers from his garden. It only takes one masquerade ball for their paths to cross and, when they do, Rey discovers that there is more to Ben Solo than meets the eye. If only he weren’t so intent on recruiting her to find the masked woman who has captured his heart. If only he knew that masked woman was her.

Excerpt (Chapter 1)

News of the upcoming masquerade ball spread across London like wildfire.

It was not every day that an eligible bachelor announced his intention to find a bride for all to hear.

As she observed the preparations from her small window, Rey could not help the pang of jealousy that settled over her heart.  Every morning she caught a glimpse of the preparations, of the countless footmen and maids scurrying from one place to the other, arms laden with trunks and fabrics.

Every morning she heard the enthusiasm of the dowager duchess echo across the garden, the elation of a mother who was pleased her son would soon find a suitable bride.

And every morning she would be reminded of just how hopeless her dreams of love and belonging truly were.

That bride, Rey knew all too well, would never be her.

Masterpost: Unwritten Oaths (Reylo Hogwarts AU)

Summary:

“I’d rather be dead than ever stuck in a room with Ben Solo,” Rey hissed.

Six years later, Head Girl Rey Johnson finds herself stuck sharing dormitories, meetings, a bathroom, and a hell of a lot more with Head Boy Ben Solo, her sworn enemy at Hogwarts. She discovers that her eleven-year-old self was quite wrong - in fact, she’d actually love to be stuck in a room with Ben Solo.

If only Ben wasn’t such a stuck-up, scruffy-looking nerfherder every time he opened his mouth… and that damn school-wide fan club of his would stop following him everywhere…

(Now on AO3)

ROCK BOTTOM: a bellarke and murven modern au by detectivebellamyblake

summary: When Bellamy and Echo get engaged, Clarke ends up sobbing in her room, mourning something that she never really had. The last person she expects to comfort her is Murphy, but it turns out the two have a lot more in common than she thought. While she’s been pining for Bellamy, he’s been realizing his feelings for Raven, who happens to be dating Shaw. In a moment of impulsivity, the two sleep together, and then say ‘fuck it’. If they’re going to be hurting, they might as well be getting laid at the same time. They figure it’ll be easy, simple, and that no one will get hurt. Of course, they’re idiots.

Paint me in trust - a story by @pawprinterfanfic for the @bellarkebigbang. (The 100 set in the Potterverse)

Artwork by me.

Summery

Clarke is on the run. It's 1997 in Britain, during the height of the Second Wizarding War. Voldemort is running rampage through the Wizarding World, fear is weighing heavily on everyone, and anyone who doesn’t side with the Dark Lord is in danger.

Clarke was expected to side with him. She’s from a pureblood family that has decades tangled with the Dark Arts, after all. But, she didn’t.

So, she ran.

Somehow, she finds her way to a safe house where she meets with other wizards and witches on the run.

-

All Bellamy wants to do is to keep his sister safe – a sister at Hogwarts, under the Death Eaters. Instead of saving her, he’s stuck in a safe house with her. She’s a Slytherin, and she’s the daughter of a Death Eater. He doesn’t trust Clarke; why should he?

Now, he’s stuck with her as they roam around the country, looking for places to stay safe and stay hidden. He quickly realizes that things could be worse. And… maybe Clarke isn’t as bad as he thought.

What a fun collaboration! This is the AU you didn't know you needed but the world won't do without. Make sure to reblog, spread, and leave some love for the author! ✨🖋️

Sobbing w happy tears rn 😭😭

tros ending version 2

well seeing as that they came for me after posting version 1 (probably too close to the actual ending) maybe they’ll let version 2 slide bc it’s definitely more manipulated
