Summary
“You will live. It’s a question of how much she’s willing to indulge me. Of whether you’ll be my prisoner--” He softens. “Or my queen.”
My queen. The words twist and ache with implication, with promises he can’t possibly fulfill. “There’s a difference?”

Summary
“Of course, Your Majesty.” The sentinel draws back, bowing once more. I don’t move until he leaves, eyes steady on the reports in front of me. Her name flickers in my periphery, an ever-constant ache, a blade I cannot bear to draw out of my chest. Nonsense. I will make use of her soon enough.
Of course you will. Mother walks a strange line now, disapproving, yet unable to guide me off my path. The crown was made for you, son. Now wear it.
I sigh, soft and steady. They’ll never know what Mother knows, what I clench in my fist so tightly. Her voice is mine and mine alone.
I might as well make it proud of me.

Summary
When marriage comes before love, it gets... complicated, to say the least.
Iris Cygnet has grown up as the younger princess, the second choice. Not that her parents ever made her feel that way, but she knows it nonetheless. She will not find a love match, for she is to be traded off like a trivial pawn, always has been. That is why she doesn't react when her father asks for the Nortan king's hand in marriage.

Summary
I tap the glass with a sigh. To look powerful is to be powerful, and I look anything but. Not when the aisle creeps nearer and nearer, a contract signed in blood and empty, broken dreams.
Not this again. Mother grunts, and I feel it in my bones. Stop being dramatic.
The crown still sits on its cushion, slightly askew and far too heavy. Nonsense. I was born to bear its weight, to hold myself high as the king I am. Still, I can’t help but grimace as it slides on my head. This is who I am. This is who I was made for.
You are. Mother curls her claws. Stop whining about it.

Bare to Your Blood by beforeIlearnedcivility

Summary
Her room is not as punishing as Mother would like, but remains a cage, metal bars of satin and silk. I catch her gown balled in a corner, frowning. She’ll put it on eventually. Until then, I’ll coax her, threaten her, do everything I can to ensure her place and mine. My lips part.
She ignores me, panting, struggling through what can only be described as a toddler’s attempt at sit-ups. I take a step closer, and her fist clenches. Lightning has no mercy.
And neither does silent stone.

"I brought you down to your knees
'Cause they say that misery loves company" - Miley Cyrus (Angels Like You)“That’s not why I want to die.” His voice was low, serious for the first time. A shiver curled up my spine. This boy is mad. We must be perfect for each other. Two crazy kids in one hell of a broken world.

Summary
Does she know the date? Does she laugh at me from within her chambers? Unlikely. Red birthdays could never have much fanfare, even when they weren't prisoners of war. They didn't have the resources to celebrate.
But I do.
Gift her a swift death. Mother curls her claws. It’s the most she deserves.

Summary
The collar was overkill.
Rugged steel, the spikes of a bulldog, thorns that dug against her throat every time she moved. They wanted a show. They wanted her head on a pike, paraded through the streets as crows pecked at her remains. I couldn’t give them that. This was the next best thing.
Still, I hadn’t considered how it would be to hold her leash. To watch her gasp for air, wrists bleeding, weakened from silence and my own excessive vengeance.
Weakness, Mother whispers, and I almost flinch. Embrace the pain. It makes you strong.

Summary
Choose me, she’d pleaded, a silhouette against the flames lashing the sky. Her face had been the clearest, burned into the back of my eyelids. Choose a new world. Make a better world.
And here we are again. It’s just us, facing off again, and she’s asking me to make the same impossible choice.

Summary
A bitter laugh escapes as I force my skin to a boil, bubbles drowning out any lecture I might’ve endured. Tomorrow, I will be married.
Tomorrow, I will have a wife.
But today is not tomorrow. Today I can pretend tomorrow will never come, that I may kiss a bridesmaid instead of the bride, soak myself in sorrow until the dread threatens to drag me under.
