Thank you for thinking of me! I’ve been trying so hard to get back! Doing the job of 2 people plus all the stuff of life (kids sports, graduation for Kid #1, and house projects) is just consuming all my time! I really really hope to get something out sooner rather than later and I appreciate you thinking of me so much! Sorry it took me so long to respond! ❤️

Unbreak my heart is one of the first fanfics I came across on AO3. I know @twinkle-320 has a lot going on and has been away for a bit but she still deserves a shout out for everything she’s contributed so far.

@aussiegurl1234 OMG thank you SO much! You’re right, I have been away…for far too long!!! Life is crazy right now but I’ve been trying to get back. I think I have like 5 sentences of my next chapter started 🤦🏻‍♀️ I haven’t even been getting Tumblr notifications but this popped up today. I can’t tell you how much the shout out means!!! I really hope to put something out sooner rather than later but thank you for thinking of me!!!!

150 Random Writing Prompts

There’s some fluff, some smut, some angst, and some funny prompts all mashed up from a bunch of prompt lists I’ve found. Absolutely none of these prompts came from me, I just threw a bunch of ones I liked together.

Unbreak My Heart - Chapter 14 posted on AO3

Chapter Summary: Riley and Madeline face-off. Bertrand tries to involve himself in the investigation again and Maxwell offers Riley support. Liam and Madeline discuss the events of the day and find themselves in a situation neither expected. Liam decides it's time to face the one person he's been avoiding. Drake and Riley both go off in search of solitude and find themselves in each others company. Despite some of their conversation being difficult, they carefully navigate their new, fragile friendship and continue to find themselves drawn to one another. With the support of her friends, Riley heads back to Applewood to get a jump on investigating and they find a few clues sooner than they were expecting.

Chapter Warnings: Language

A/N: I had hoped to stay on a timeline posting chapters to both my WIPs every two weeks but…best laid plans 🤦🏻‍♀️ Things keep going sideways and the stress is getting to me, so for now it’s back to writing and posting when I can and hoping I don’t let it get away from me. I missed the last prompt challenge too but I’m hoping to get something done for the next one as well. Thanks for all the support and sticking with me.

Hold On

“Quote Me on This” Prompt Challenge:  I was given the quote “The best thing to hold onto in life is each other”.  It appears in the mood board below and will be bolded in the story.

Fandom: The Royal Romance

Pairing: Riley & Drake, Liam & Olivia

Rating: MA

Warnings: Grief, mentions of death, mildly graphic details of injuries

Disclaimer:  I am not a healthcare professional, all details of medical care and injuries are fictional dramatizations for the purposes of this story and I do not proclaim them to be accurate in real life.

Word Count:  3796 (sorry!)

A/N:  After receiving multiple requests for a follow up to my Choices Prompt Challenge submission ‘Promise Me’ (read here), I decided to use this challenge to answer the call.  If you haven’t read that one, this one won’t make much sense.  There is a time jump between that story and this one, and this is long so I could wrap this up without turning it into a mini-series :)

A/N 2:  I kept this in the first person from Riley’s POV in keeping with the style of ‘Promise Me’ but it does jump between present and past tense with Riley thinking back on the time between where that story ended and where she is now.  Please forgive any errors in grammar or tense, as this is not my usual style.

“I’m sorry, Lucas. I really am, but I can’t come back yet…”  I nod as if I’m on a video chat, but I know my boss can’t see me.  “No, no…it’s fine.  I understand and I appreciate you accommodating me as long as you have.  I’ve loved my time with the firm and I’m grateful for the opportunity you gave me…Yes, thank you Lucas…you too.”  When the line goes dead, my body shakes with the sob I’ve been holding in.

Outside it’s a rainy day but there is just enough light from the setting sun to allow me to catch my reflection in the window.  In the mirrored image, the tears running down my cheeks blend with the raindrops on the window.  Just beyond the glass, life goes on and the world moves forward, but inside these walls, I feel like time is standing still.

I want to send special thanks to @fullbeaumonty / @chatonne-rousse , @leelee10898 , and @zaffrenotes for pre-reading this! And to @sfb123 for assigning my prompt, which will be bolted below.

I love this scene in canon and I love this SO much more ❤️❤️. In canon, once you’ve chosen your LI there are points where it still feels like the relationship is just ‘friendly’ instead of romantic so I love seeing the deeper connection between MC and Drake that canon missed the mark on!

Thank you!!! 😊❤️ I honestly started a follow-up picking up right where part 1 left off but when I got my quote for this challenge it felt perfect and decided to jump forward with her having been at his side for a while. Savannah is definitely awful here and doesn’t seem to care that he’s making progress 🤦🏻‍♀️ no way was Riley gonna let her pull the plug! I am SO glad you liked it and thank you for reblogging!

A/N:  This is set 4 years after my canon compliant series, ‘Not Quite Cinderella’ and is sort of a ‘What if’ Riley didn’t stay after the end of Book 2.  It can be read as a stand alone, but just things to know from the series: 1) Riley’s given name is Emily, she changed it at 18, 2) Riley’s mom passed away a year before the social season so Riley was still processing her grief on the one-year anniversary that occurred during their time at Applewood in my series.

The cool wind pushes my hair back as I walk along the familiar path, every step taking me deeper into the past. It’s been years since I’ve been here; everything is different.

Everything is the same.

I’m not paying attention to the present as I walk, I’m too lost in memories of long ago. That’s why I don’t notice the person walking towards me until I hear a familiar voice call my name.

I freeze. It can’t be. What are the odds?

I lift my head as my eyes dart wildly around before finally landing on a face I’d recognize anywhere, even now.

“It’s you.”

OH MY GOD!!!!!

Thank you, I love this reblog and your kind words mean SO much ❤️ it was heartbreaking to write and I seriously can’t imagine writing it without that last part…I couldn’t do that to Drake

Reblogging this reblog because I love that gif, lol

Gah this is heartwrenching!! She’s been there for months, I can’t!!

WTH Savannah, ugh! worst sister ever! Just before him waking up too, someone smack her pls!!!

Aww that ending, finally together!

I have to admit, I cried writing it even though I knew how it would end 🤣 I almost picked up right where part 1 left off but I wasn’t trying to start another series lol so i had to go with the time jump and of course Riley would be there the entire time. Savannah as the ‘bad guy’ just made sense but maybe she deserves some credit…it could have been their yelling that brought him out of it 🤷🏻‍♀️ Thank you so much for reading and reblogging! ❤️

Omg I’m so glad you did a follow up to this, otherwise I’d have had to post a whole lot a screaming, ranting and pleading! lol

I probably should have known that I’d be asked for a follow-up 🤣 I came so close to writing a more ‘final’ ending 😬 but I couldn’t! It’s DRAKE! I couldn’t do that to him!

8/17 Update - Unbreak My Heart and Cinderella From the Ashes - NEW Chapters

A/N - I am trying to get myself on a schedule for writing.  I am hoping to take 2 weeks between updates, using 1 week per WIP to write a chapter and then post them together on the same day.  I overshot that a little this time (18 days) and a prompt challenge here might slow down the next chapters slightly but at least I have a goal I’m working toward.  Thank you so much for reading these stories and for the likes, reblogs, and comments on the last chapters.  New Chapters went up on AO3 today and are linked below.

Cinderella From the Ashes - Chapter 14 - It’s My Life

Chapter Warnings:  NSFW (do not read if you are under 18) and language

Chapter Summary - Drake and Neville face off in a duel.  The Halloween Ball resumes with an air of celebration.  Riley learns the identity of the mystery woman and provides back-up for Olivia before jumping in to save Bertrand from himself when it comes to love.  Riley and Drake enjoy some alone time and returning to the ball not knowing all hell is about to break loose, AGAIN.

Unbreak My Heart - Chapter 13 - Paradise

Chapter Warnings:  Language 

Chapter Summary:  Riley finally gets her chance to talk to Liam. It’s a mostly open and honest conversation and goes as well as she could have hoped but she doesn’t leave it feeling any better. The investigative team, including a new member, once again meets up to discuss evidence and leads, meaning Riley has to face Drake for the first time since he left Lythikos. In difficult moments of their meeting, Drake steps up to support her but things once again get tense when they find themselves alone. Riley gets ready for the engagement party with her best friend and arrives feeling calm and composed but the drama ramps up quickly when she sees both Madeline and Liam.

UMH

Liam’s side of the story here is better and more detailed than in canon, I kinda like him here but I do still wish he’s back off because I’m still #teamDrake lol

“How do you know that?” Hana inquired innocently.

Lol, she’s adorable!

Love the conversation between Riley and Drake but they’ve still a looong way to go.

“Oh yes…your ‘personal invitation’ at Liam’s insistence, right?Oooo, Hana lied! lol

HAH!!

Oh I wonder how this ‘talk’ with Maddie will go down

CFTA

You know what bothers me about Neville and this duel. Liam, as king coulda nipped Neville’s attitude in the bud a long time ago but now, he continued to let him and others disrespect and belittle his 'best friend’ UGH!

Okay, rant over, lol

Lucretia was shady from the start!

Gah, that ending though!

UBMY- I am trying SO hard to keep Liam somewhat redeemable 🤣🤣. I feel like canon clings to the “perfect prince” image which I get why they do it, it’s a fairytale romance but even princes/kings have flaws so I’m straddling this fine line of trying to show he’s flawed without changing the character entirely. Riley and Drake are making some progress and they’ll keep making baby steps. Riley is gonna hold her own with Maddie…I hope to have that chapter posted VERY soon!

CFTA- I completely agree with you! Liam should have absolutely been stepping up and saying something about how some people treat Drake! I love that Drake stands up for himself and Riley though, and Riley’s got his back too!

Hold On

“Quote Me on This” Prompt Challenge:  I was given the quote “The best thing to hold onto in life is each other”.  It appears in the mood board below and will be bolded in the story.

Fandom: The Royal Romance

Pairing: Riley & Drake, Liam & Olivia

Rating: MA

Warnings: Grief, mentions of death, mildly graphic details of injuries

Disclaimer:  I am not a healthcare professional, all details of medical care and injuries are fictional dramatizations for the purposes of this story and I do not proclaim them to be accurate in real life.

Word Count:  3796 (sorry!)

A/N:  After receiving multiple requests for a follow up to my Choices Prompt Challenge submission ‘Promise Me’ (read here), I decided to use this challenge to answer the call.  If you haven’t read that one, this one won’t make much sense.  There is a time jump between that story and this one, and this is long so I could wrap this up without turning it into a mini-series :)

A/N 2:  I kept this in the first person from Riley’s POV in keeping with the style of ‘Promise Me’ but it does jump between present and past tense with Riley thinking back on the time between where that story ended and where she is now.  Please forgive any errors in grammar or tense, as this is not my usual style.

“I’m sorry, Lucas. I really am, but I can’t come back yet…”  I nod as if I’m on a video chat, but I know my boss can’t see me.  “No, no…it’s fine.  I understand and I appreciate you accommodating me as long as you have.  I’ve loved my time with the firm and I’m grateful for the opportunity you gave me…Yes, thank you Lucas…you too.”  When the line goes dead, my body shakes with the sob I’ve been holding in.

Outside it’s a rainy day but there is just enough light from the setting sun to allow me to catch my reflection in the window.  In the mirrored image, the tears running down my cheeks blend with the raindrops on the window.  Just beyond the glass, life goes on and the world moves forward, but inside these walls, I feel like time is standing still.

Thank you for reading and sharing my work! 💕

Promise Me

One Shot:  Choices Prompt Story (Prompt found here)

Fandom:  The Royal Romance

Pairing:  Riley & Drake, Liam x Olivia, Riley & Liam (past/friendship)

Rating:  MA

Warnings:  Grief, mentions of death

Word Count: 2275

A/N:  This is set 4 years after my canon compliant series, ‘Not Quite Cinderella’ and is sort of a ‘What if’ Riley didn’t stay after the end of Book 2.  It can be read as a stand alone, but just things to know from the series: 1) Riley’s given name is Emily, she changed it at 18, 2) Riley’s mom passed away a year before the social season so Riley was still processing her grief on the one-year anniversary that occurred during their time at Applewood in my series.

A/N 2:  First person is not my usual style so…hope it’s okay :) and please forgive any errors (grammatical, tense, etc.)

The cool wind pushes my hair back as I walk along the familiar path, every step taking me deeper into the past. It’s been years since I’ve been here; everything is different.

Everything is the same.

I’m not paying attention to the present as I walk, I’m too lost in memories of long ago. That’s why I don’t notice the person walking towards me until I hear a familiar voice call my name.

I freeze. It can’t be. What are the odds?

I lift my head as my eyes dart wildly around before finally landing on a face I’d recognize anywhere, even now.

“It’s you.”
