Shortcut Chapter Two: Hide and Seek
Series Premise: The night of the last Apple Ball, one life comes into the world and two other lives leave it. A murder investigation begins, and no one is safe.
Not canon Drake. He is extra not great this chapter. Just know that even when I write these guys OOC, it doesn’t mean I hate them. I have way too much fun messing with his character.
Chapter warnings: mention of blood, creepy Drake, violence mention, character death, reference to character death, inappropriate humor, sensuality
Thank a bunch to @alyssalauren and @burnsoslow for reading a snippet and reassuring me that I was not going too far. 🤣💛❤️

One Step Ahead (TRR Round Robin) Part 6: Intercept
In the universe that The Royal Romance/Heir fan fiction inhabits, the people are represented by two not necessarily separate yet equally important groups: The Writers, who come up with these fantastical stories, and The Readers, who eagerly consume them. One writer, @sirbeepsalot , was struck with inspiration and came up with the idea of a round-robin story based on The Royal Romance/Heir.
This is that story.
What’s happened so far? Liam and Olivia were plotting a plan which Leo interrupted; Queen Madeleine fell “ill” while planning a party and was rushed into an ambulance by those stalwart medical experts … Maxwell and Drake. Riley Brooks, Royal Communication Director, has a press release ready to go.
Catch up here.
Book: The Royal Romance/Heir
Pairings: Liam x Madeleine, Riley x ?
A/N: I liked @dcbbw‘s “One Step Ahead” title and am making it the series title. Thanks to her for looking this over!

Their little corner of the ballroom had descended into chaos. Max was on the ground, Kiara drove her stiletto into the bartenders foot causing him to let go of her as he howled in pain and Riley slammed the back of her head into Drake’s face trying to wrangle herself loose. Dozens of guardsmen swarmed over them. Everyone was quickly pulled out of the ballroom.
Riley found herself escorted to a sitting room off the main hallway. “I swear to God, Bastien! You should have just let me beat the shit of that fucking-“
“Lady Riley, please, calm down. Please.” Bastien gripped her arm with one hand as he closed the door behind them with the other.
“Why the fuck should I?” She jerked out of his grasp.
“Because your behavior is going to get me fired if you don’t.” He snapped.

A/N: HAPPY (belated) BIRTHDAY, BURNZEIGH! You are the Tatum to my Sidney! Because of that, how could I NOT write this? 🤣 From the very moment we met, we became family, and this past year has proven just that: you are my sister, and I love you dearly. *big ol hugs*
A/N 2: HUUUUGE special thanks to the creatively talented @ao719 for surprising me (YES! Went behind my back, and SURPRISED me, left me speechless and in tears) with this incredible moodboard! Girl, WHAT THE FRICK CAN'T YOU DO? It's so unbelievably perfect, and it makes the birthday fic/series even more special for our lovely birthday girl! ALSO, big thanks to my partner in crime-in-crime forever and ever @kat-tia801 for helping me brainstorm this crazy idea and for pre-reading this! GO TEAM!
A/N 3: (yes, a third A/N) This is a very short series. These characters are not mine--they belong to our friends at Pixelberry, but I'm not going to lie: I may be ruining them, so if they seem OOC--just... go with it (LOL, it's all in fun!). NOW Ms. Alyssa Devereaux is NOT mine OR PB's. That beauty belongs to and is used with permission by @burnsoslow . There is only ONE person who writes her perfectly, and that's the birthday girl. If you've never been introduced to Alyssa, I'm sorry. You NEED to check out Burns' work NOW.
I’ve miss you girly 💗🥰🥰🥰👈🏼
King Father of the Bride - Prologue (New Series)
Book: The Royal Romance
Pairing: Liam x Riley, Eleanor x OC
The TRR regulars belong to Pixelberry, the OC listed above (to be named later), Thomas, and David belong to me.
(Thomas is an OC from my series Sapere Aude, in case you’re unsure where that guy came from)
Series Description: Liam is excited to welcome Eleanor back from an extended trip to the states, but things change when she returns with some unexpected news.
Rating: PG
Word Count: 806
A/N: So I got this idea, and the more I thought about it, the more excited I got. I love the Father of the Bride movies, and there is no way Liam wouldn’t be the protective, doting father that George Banks was in that movie. Obviously, this means I had to write it. I started writing and just couldn’t stop. I haven’t been this excited about a project in a long time, and I couldn’t wait to start getting this out to you guys. It’s going to be fluffy and funny, and I really hope you like it!
A/N 2: Thank you @txemrn for the pre-read, and the amazingly kind and undeserved words. I hope I can live up to them.
Also, to the few of you that I annoyed with my gushing about this idea, thank you for putting up with me. Your excitement about it got me even more excited about it!
Tags: Below and in the comments, but more accurately, lost in the black hole of Tumblr somewhere, so good luck.
When I was growing up, I was taught to put my duty to my country ahead of all else. Falling in love was a dream that seemed unlikely. After my brother abdicated the throne, it went from an unlikely dream to an impossible fantasy. Until I met her. Riley Brooks. She came out of nowhere, and turned everything I believed upside down in the best way possible. By some unimaginable strike of luck, or fate, we found each other and began our lives together.
I loved the movie! Can’t wait for more of this!
I have wanted to commission Riley and Leo’s wedding in Human Contact forever, and I finally did. I could not be more in love with this art.
@/gokushhairgel on Instagram did a phenomenal job bringing Riley and Leo’s first dance to life. I cannot recommend commissioning her enough. I love this piece so much, it is perfectly them. I can’t gush about it enough. Thank you so much for your time and teaching me a little about your process while you were creating this. ❤️❤️
This is so them! I just love HC love Leo and Riley 🥰🥰🥰

Liam looked up in surprise as the door to his suite opened. Riley strolled through it already dressed in a floor length, body hugging shimmery silver dress slit halfway up one side. It was strappy with a low neckline and a plunging back. Her hair was swept up showing off her dangling earrings and the graceful curve of her neck. His heart stopped as his eyes swept down her body and up again.
There were so many things he wanted to say, things he wanted to ask. Instead, he just stupidly said, “You came.”
“Of course I came. We can’t arrive separately, now can we? How would that look?”
She was being nice. She was smiling at him. That could be a very, very bad sign. She was always in a good mood when she was getting her way. But what the hell did she want?

Mood Music Monday 02.07.22
It’s been a rough, incredibly sad week for me you guys. A dear friend @dcbbw recommended I write something special featuring my Riley, to help deal with some of the feelings I’m struggling with, I’ve tried, it’s proven harder than I thought. So I won’t be releasing any of that tribute yet. This is tough, but I’m still standing. Here’s what I have for Mood Music Monday:

Part 14: So Far Away
“What is this mess?” Olivia asked as she waved her hand at Liam’s desk. “Don’t you have someone to approve tourism advertising for you?”
Liam didn’t look up as he tried – and failed – to hide a file labeled Lythikos by sliding it under a neighboring folder. “Why are you here, Olivia?” he sighed as he looked up at his friend.
“That!” she exclaimed as she took a seat across from him. “It’s Nora’s birthday party tomorrow, and clearly, you are working too much if you thought I might be here for a different reason.”
He studied her as he leaned back in his chair and folded his arms across his chest. “I know that. I mean, why are you in my office? Come to approve copy for Lythikos?”
Olivia frowned. “Last time, my duchy sounded like a land of candy canes and jolly fat snowmen. I will not let that happen again.”
“Good thing it’s my call then. Your edits last time –”
“That you didn’t even think about accepting!”
“Come on, Liv. We want people to visit for history and culture that won’t keep them up at night wondering if a wolf, snowstorm, or flying ax will bring them death.”
“That is our culture,” Olivia grunted, resigned that she would not win the battle. “But maybe I could just see what it says? Offer more measured suggestions?”
Liam’s eyes scanned his desk; he did have a lot of materials to review before he would feel free to take the weekend off. He heard Olivia’s nails rhythmically tap on the wooden arm of her chair and came to a decision. “Okay, but you need to help me clear my desk.”
“What do you need?”
The folders for Comery Isle and Portavira caught his eye; he pushed them across the desk to her. She curled her lips at his choices.
😩ugh Riley stop running
Like Fall, Like Spring (Drake x MC)

A/N: Sorry it took so long! I hope you’ll like it!
Ugh I hate Leona😑 and Riley girl fight🤯 you let her manipulate😑
A Man and A Woman
This fic is for the lovely, amazing, and incredible @burnsoslow. I know it’s late, but it’s here. Of course, I have written Dralyssa for her (it IS her birthday), but it isn’t the story I have been trying to put together since her LAST birthday. It’s angsty and set in an AU no true Dralyssa stan would think about.
She may hate me (I LOVE YOU, boo!) and insist Alyssa pack her DC AU bags immediately, but this story comes from the heart, and could possibly spawn an AU where the ORIGINAL story plot can come into play. Maybe.
Burns, I love you so much and although our friendship is relatively young (3 years maybe), I already know it’s a forever friendship. You have been there through Tumblr drama and discourse, family issues, work fuckery, and so much more. You are a faithful supporter both on and offline, and I have no idea what I have done to deserve you.
You are a blessing, not only to me but to so many others. I hope your day was amazing and your 2022 is all you hope, want, and need it to be.
THANK YOU to all who read this in part; your feedback and encouragement gave me the balls to not only finish this, but to post it.
THANK YOU to all who will read this story. Your likes, comments, and/or reblogs are appreciated more than you know.

Six Sentence Sunday 2.6.22
I know I haven't posted in almost a week. It's been crazy here in Texas, we had an ice storm and were without power for three days. Also, I can't seem to wrap up these chapters, they just keep getting longer!
Bad Romance has distracted me for the last couple of weeks, but I promise, I am still working on all the other series.
All my stuff: Master List.
Spoilers are under the cut.
@petiteboheme @burnsoslow @Txemrn @aussiegurl1234
All these on 🔥🔥
Happy Birthday, Burnsy!
@burnsoslow This is only birthday #3 I get to help you celebrate, but it’s weird to remember you not being a part of my life. You have given me so many laughs, from our ridiculous and hilarious conversations, autocorrects, questionable choices in memes, serenading VCs, and so on. You’ve been there to vent to, to help tweak and brainstorm, and to encourage and support me (and so many others). You’re a light for many, myself included, and my life would not be the same without your presence. I hope you know how grateful I am to call you my friend. And I hope your birthday is wonderful and you’re showered with all the good things because you deserve them. Love you!
With the help of @bbrandy2002 to choose a scene of Drake and Alyssa with Riley and Liam, I commissioned the talented @/gokushairgel on Instagram to make this piece of both your babies from Fearless (maybe a spoiler alert … but not really, lol). I hope you love it! 💕💕💕
The number of times I’ve read this message since you posted it.
@ao719, I love you. I do. I just love you, because we laugh and cry together, we work out plot shit together, we vent and talk life stuff and message the wrong people accidentally and I’m so grateful to you for all of it.
but we love art
and what you did by commissioning this fucking GORGEOUS art piece for me was to make sure that an AU that’s so damn special to me – with a friendship that also means the world to both you and me /sobs – will be forever captured.
omg more tears no whyyyyy make them stop
anyway, thank you for this … and for your friendship and everything you are to me. always.
