Summary
In war, healers are the first to die.
House Skonos stood tall and proud before the Newblood uprising, a noble house that served the highest titles in the land. Their head would heal the king himself, easing wrinkles and gray hairs for all his days. Mother liked to grumble about it in the mirror.
Then came the mutations.
Their sister house, Blonos, was able to flee. As their ability was to heal themselves, they thought they had nothing to fear when the rats came pounding at their door. But one arm was grabbed, then another, the life force draining from their skin. Leechers, they were called. House Carver, they named themselves.
Skonos healed others.
They could not heal themselves.

Summary
Maven Calore was empty.
Elara ensured as much. What better vessel to use for her own gain than someone she could mold since birth? Everything was going according to their plan.
Until the Security officers find another Red with Silver abilities in Summerton. And the moment he laid eyes on her, Maven felt a want root in him that he knew without a doubt was truly his.
How could he let that go?
Mare is gone. But Sarina is not. And she can't choose Cal over him if Cal isn't an option.
Set during the end of the Red Queen and following the series forward.

A Happy Princess by beforeIlearnedcivility for drewtanakagf

Summary
House Iral greets us next, Ara brushing past me with the briefest of curtsies. Sonya stands beside her, arm in arm with Reynald Iral. He recently raised taxes on the Merandus estate. A small crime, but a crime nonetheless.
It takes all I have to sneer as Ellyn Maccathnos approaches, Mare’s grip tightening on my arm. No one challenges Mother in public, not if they want to stay intact. She brought this on herself.
She reaches not for me, but Mare, grinning as she takes her hand. “Every happiness to you, Lady Mareena. I can tell this one suits you.” She gestures to me, and my heart skips a beat. Her grin turns mischievous. “Not like fancy Samos. She’ll make a sad queen and you a happy princess, mark my words.”

Summary
My voice lowers. “I miss you.” The truth. “And the days you loved me.”
“They didn’t last long.”
“I know.”
“And that’s no one’s fault but yours.”
I kneel my head, a breath shuddering through me. My lips part. My heart runs wild. And, before I know it–
“Kiss me, and I’ll tell you the tunnels.”

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.

portrait of a mad king by beforeIlearnedcivility

Summary
I expect another shock, either on purpose or by accident, but it never comes. Mare stares me down, letting go with a soft sigh. “You really are tragic.”
It strikes deeper than any blow.
“I miss you.” I lower my voice. I don’t have to fake the sadness creeping through it, the yearning for what never should have been. “You don’t love me. But could–” My breath hitches. I’m losing it. I’m losing it, and yet I don’t want to stop. “Could you fake it? For a minute?”
Love me.
Hurt me.
Just don’t leave.

Summary
He looks away, and I’m drowning, drowning in absence, in rot, in the knowledge that I am not enough. Will never be enough, not for him, not for Cal, not for any person who walks this Earth. His throat bobs, the edge of a precipice.
This time, I’m the one who kisses him.
I can feel his surprise against my lips, his cursed hope and rancid nostalgia. They will be the death of him, I know, as they must be, the only way I can reach beyond the bars of this cage. Choose me, I want to whisper. Choose me, the way Cal did not. Choose me, the way you didn’t when I loved you.

Breakfast Table smut. Enjoy

Pledge Myself To You by beforeIlearnedcivility

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.

Summary
Mare nods. She doesn’t pull away, her eyes boring into mine. They’re ravenous still, aching for something I cannot give. Doesn’t mean I can’t pretend.
“Rise,” I whisper. As I will. As she cannot, however much it pains me, the fool who decided to burn herself on Cal’s flame. Dawn will rise as it always has.
If only the captain knew just how red it would drip.

Summary
“I will fix this.” My chest heaves. “You have my word.”
A word that is worth nothing, not anymore. But she doesn’t know that. All she knows is the whisper in her ear, my hands in her hair, the taste of my lips as I stumble against the railing. I’m rushing into this, I know, and yet nothing feels more right. Cal has kissed her first, true. But I will be the one to take her beyond.

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.

Summary
Jon has decided to share the different paths he sees with me- the countless ways things could have gone had there been a single change. This is a collection of these timelines, each confining themselves to their own chapter. Read this at your own expense as looking into the what-ifs and the thoughts of others is an existence that is torture within itself.

the red queen reputation collection by beforeIlearnedcivility

Summary
Sometimes, all Maven wanted to hear was static. The voices around him fading, sweet distortion, the world slowing for him and him alone. No one would see him. No one would hear him. Just him, his mind, and the soft hum of ruined sound.
Sadly, there were other things to ruin. His sanity, for one.
"What do you mean, Evangeline ditched us?" Maven was one can of gasoline from burning the stadium to the ground. "Larentia would never--"
"New manager." Clover was oddly chipper. “Says she found a model on the way over and needs time to get to know her.”

Summary
Rosalie looks at me, startled. Her hand withdraws to the safety of her armrest. Good. I am not made for people to touch me. “But you’re not a pane of shattered glass, are you? You’re a human being. With problems. And I can help you fix those problems, but not if you insist that you’re unfixable.”

What if it all ended the same…? The universe has her own plans for us all..

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
Mother protests, complaining of rats, of foolish, smitten boys and their downfall at their own hand. But I am a burner. I have no problem playing with fire.
For once, I get her to look away. “You’re a monster.”
I almost soften. “Never tell me what I cannot do. And never underestimate what I will do–for my kingdom.”
For myself. For Mother. For our shared dreams, precarious and fragile, one wrong step from sliding across the edge of a knife.
