Sneak Peak of a Dorian x Fem! Reader Series?
When one has gaps in their memories, especially childhood memories, it's often due to trauma. Your brain blocks it out for you so that your emotions and personality aren't consciously affected by the trauma.
I can't remember anything from that night. All I can remember is the stickiness on my face, wether it was blood or tears I can't recall. I remember the frigid, icy wind and the stabbing of grains of sand into my skin. I remember the snapping sound of a flimsy frozen metal as the locket I was given on my sixth birthday only days before.
I only remember that last one because I have it still. It lies in a small crevice in the corner of a music box, except on days where I am especially anxious. Those days it spends curled around my fingers as I hold on for dear life as if I could transfer all my negative feelings into it.

"Y/n!" I jumped as Aleera's voice snapped me out of my trance. The broken locket slipped from my fingers and coiled onto the marble table beneath me.
"Brulin says it's time for your lessons to begin." She nears me, reaching her hands out for me to grab. I slip my hands into hers and seek comfort in the familiar calluses on her fingertips. They're from the sewing.
"It's a little early isn't it?" I ask as she uses her hands to guide me into a standing position.
"He thought you'd want to get them over with to celebrate your birthday." Aleera explained and a smile grew on my face.
"And the Prince is okay with being disturbed this early for rescheduled classes?"
"You know the Prince would much rather be finished early and celebrate your birthday with you than get to sleep in." She dismisses and ushers me towards the door. I roll my eyes despite knowing that she speaks the truth.
"Alas, he has too many princely duties to spend any time with me." I whine and she chuckles.
"I'm wounded you would think so lowly of me, Lady." Dorian spoke up and after getting over my shock at his presence I glared at him only for him to chuckle in return.
"Alright, you two. Get to Brulin now and enjoy yourselves. Do be here for lunch, Y/n." Aleera kisses my temple and Dorian reached out his arm for me. With a smile I slip my arm through his and curl my hand around his bicep.
We enter the halls outside of the Klayden Residential Chambers and begin walking towards the library when he leans his head close to my own.
"Happy Birthday, Y/n." He mutters and presses a short kiss to my temple causing me to giggle.
As the library nears, our morning chatter begins to slow.
"Are you sure you want to do any classes at all today?" He asks and I giggle.
"And how do you propose we escape our educational obligations?" I teased, but his face was deadly serious.
"I'm the Crown Prince. What is anyone going to do about it?"
