Betrayal: A Choices Prompt Story

Series: Prompt Stories

Fandom: The Royal Romance

Pairing: Riley x Drake, Riley x Liam (past)

Rating: MA

Warnings for this chapter: MAJOR CHARACTER DEATH, GRIEF

Word Count: 1,529

A/N: Anyone who hasn't seen the prompt and wants to play along, go here.

My other stuff: Master List.

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 the past. That’s why I don’t notice the other person walking toward me until I hear a familiar voice call my name.

I freeze. It can’t be. What are the odds? I lift my head and my eyes dart wildly around before finally landing on a face I’d recognize anywhere, even now.

“It’s you.”

Writing Prompt Challenge

So recently @dcbbw and I did a thing where we both started with the same six sentences and produced two very different stories.

Here's mine: I Do

Here's hers: Untitled

Then @bebepac said she thought it would be really cool to do a regular event like this and get others to participate. I'm willing to organize it, if there are writers out there that would do it.

I know there have been/are other prompt events/challenges out there. What I envision for this is a little different. Instead of a one liner that people can work into their current WIP, it would be a sentence or paragraph or set of sentences that everyone would start with, hopefully prompting something new that they wouldn't have written otherwise. Just a fun way to flex those creative muscles.

If you would want to do this, let me know. If enough people are interested, I'll set it up. I'm thinking twice a month because monthly seems too long in between and weekly seems like too much. What do you guys all think?

I'm just going to tag my entire list on this. Everyone please share and tag others, I'd like as many people to see it as possible so I can get a good idea of how many are interested. Also, this can be for all of Choices, not just TRR.

Forbidden Passion Chapter 10: Exposure

Series: Forbidden Passion

Fandom: The Royal Romance

Pairings: Liam x Riley, Drake x Riley

Warning: This fic portrays infidelity

Rating: MA

A/N: Well, this was hard to write. I thought I would wrap the series up with this chapter but no. There was just too much emotion to unpack.

Everything else: Master List.

Liam opened his eyes against the bright light of morning streaming in through the windows. He turned his head and took in the sight of his wife sprawled out on the bed next to him, still naked from the night before.

His eyes ran down her body as she stirred, and her eyes fluttered open.

“Good morning, love.”

“Morning.” She mumbled.

He sat up and reached over, running a hand through her hair, across her shoulders, down her back.

She hummed appreciatively.

“Are you happy?” He asked, as his thumb brushed across the bruise on her backside, the one he hadn’t put there.

AN: It's back! It's back! And this girl could not be any more excited! I love this story, and I hope you will join me in this adventure as Riley learns to live and love again after tragedy. HUGE Thanks to everyone that helped over the past year to help bring this story to life! To my beautiful writing sister-in-crime @kat-tia801: thank you for all of your encouragement in keeping me focused and for pre-reading! These characters and some plot points belong to our friend at Pixelberry.

AN2: Block quotes are not working for me. When there is a change of scenery, it will be indicated by a separation with (----------); if the scenery deals with a change in time, it will be labeled as such at the top of the scene (ex "present", "past", etc). If it is a flashback, that entire section will be italicized. I hope this helps.

Awesome Sites and Links for Writers

Just about every writer out there has several go-to websites that they use when it comes to their writing. Be it for creativity, writer’s block, to put you in the mood or general writing help. These are mine and I listed them in hopes that you’ll find something that you’ll like or find something useful. I’ve also included some websites that sounded interesting, but I haven’t tried out yet.

Spelling & Grammar

Grammar Girl – Grammar Girl’s famous Quick and Dirty Tips (delivered via blog or podcast) will help you keep your creative writing error free.
The Owl – is Purdue University’s Online Writing Lab (OWL), an academic source from Purdue University (which is in West Lafayette, Indiana, U.S.). It’s contains plenty of grammar guides, style tips and other information that can help with your writing, it’s especially great for academics.
Tip of My Tongue — have you ever had trouble of thinking of a specific word that you can’t remember what it is? Well, this site will help you narrow down your thoughts and find that word you’ve been looking for. It can be extremely frustrating when you have to stop writing because you get a stuck on a word, so this should help cut that down.
Free Rice – is a great way to test your vocabulary knowledge. What’s even better about this site is that with every correct answer, they donate 10 grains of rice to the United Nations World Food Program. So, please disable your adblock since they use the ads on the site to generate the money to buy the rice.
HyperGrammar – is from the University of Ottawa (a bilingual public research university in Ottawa, Ontario, Canada) that offers up a one-stop guide for proper spelling, structure, and punctuation. Being that this comes from a Canadian university, that means that they use standard Oxford English Dictionary spelling. Basically that means you’ll get British English, which differs slightly from formal American English.
AutoCrit – the AutoCrit Editing Wizard analyzes your manuscript to identify areas for improvement, including pacing and momentum, dialogue, strong writing, word choice and repetition. It also provides a number of other writing resources as well. It’s not free, but they do offer 200 characters for analysis at no charge. It’s $29.97 per month or $359.64 for an annual membership.
Virtual Writing Tutor – is a free online grammar check website that helps writers count words, check spelling, check grammar and punctuation, check paraphrasing, and improve word choice. This website is free to use, and membership is also completely free. Non-members are only able to check 500 words though.
ProWritingAid – is another automatic editing tool that analyzes your writing and produces reports on areas such as overused words, writing style, sentence length, grammar and repeated words and phrases. They offer a free sample, but you have to make an account to try it out. It’s $3.33 per month ($40 annually, or less if you purchase a longer license).
Scribens – is a free English spelling and grammar checker. It also detects stylistic elements such as repetitions, run-on sentences, redundancies, and more. And it even suggests synonyms for every word.
Writer’s Digest – learn how to improve your writing, find an agent, and even get published with the help of the varied blogs on this site.
Paper Rater – uses Artificial Intelligence to improve your writing. It includes grammar, plagiarism, and spelling check, along with word choice analysis. The basic version is completely free, but they do offer premium subscription for people seeking more advanced features. If you’re interested it’s $14.95 per month or $95.40 per year if you decide to get it.
Syntaxis – it allows you to test your knowledge of grammar with a ten-question quiz. The questions change every time you take the quiz so users are sure to be challenged each time around. It definitely helps writers know if there’s something that they need to brush up on.
Word Frequency Counter – this counter allows you to count the frequency usage of each word in your text. This is especially good when you have a bad habit of using certain words like ‘really’, ‘very’ or ‘a lot’ in your writing.
GrammarCheck – is a free, easy, and secure online tool to proofread any English text.
EditMinion – is a free robotic copy editor that helps you to refine your writing by finding common mistakes.

BBC – has a section for helping you with your skills, especially in writing, from grammar to spelling, to reading, to listening and to speaking.

Tools

Copyscape – is a free service that you can use to learn if anyone has plagiarized your work. It’s pretty useful for those that want to check for fanfiction plagiarism.
Plagium – is another a copy detection system, that provides a very similar service to Copyscape and uses Yahoo! rather than Google to perform its searches. Just keep in mind that searches for simple text up to 25,000 characters remains free of charge, but any larger requires credits to be purchase.
Plagiarism Detector – is a free software that can be used to check for plagiarism in documents and URL links. It offers only a limit of 800 words for free. This also supports 12 languages, including English, Malay, Arabic, Indonesian and more.
DupliChecker – is a free and accurate online tool to check plagiarism. Just Copy & Paste to detect copied content. However, it offers 1000 words limit per search for free, if you want to check more than that, then you have to create a PRO account which costs $10/monthly for the basic plan.
Write or Die – is an web application for Windows, Mac and Linux which aims to eliminate writer’s block by providing consequences for procrastination. It lets you try it for free, but the desktop version is available for $10. The Write or Die iPad app is $9.99 in the app store. If you’re really old school, the original web app can still be launched with its modest settings.
Written? Kitten! – is similar to Write or Die, but it’s a kinder version and it’s completely free. They use positive reinforcement, so every time you reach a goal they reward you with an adorable picture of a kitten.

Currently this online library is inactive, but it’s still full of resources that are free for anyone to use, from newspaper and magazine articles to special collections. Just keep in mind that it’s not up to date, since they stopped maintaining it on June 30, 2015.

You can set up deadlines, for instance, and the program’s Work Schedule report will let you know how much you’ll have to do, each day, to finish on time.

(Un)Common Attraction: Chapter 26 - Cordonian Bake-Off

Series: TRR (following the events of Book 1, with some changes)

Pairing: Drake Walker x OC (Harper Gale)

Rights belong to Pixelberry, most characters and some dialogue belong to them.

Book Synopsis: Harper Gale is a small-town girl working as a waitress at a seedy New York dive bar. After a chance encounter with nobility sees her jetting halfway around the world to compete for the hand of the Prince of Cordonia, her dream of seeing the world starts to come true sooner than she expected. But as the completion heats up, Harper quickly learns that life at court is a lot more than just pretty dresses and fancy balls, and that the polished aristocratic smiles often hide deceit. Does she have what it takes to rise above the gossip and intrigue of the social season, and beat the nobles at their own games? And, more importantly, does she actually want to become the queen of a small European country? Or will her heart have other ideas?

Masterlist: (Un)Common Attraction

Chapter Summary: It’s day two of the Apple Blossom Festival and Harper has some less than polite conversations…and a few uncomfortable revelations.

Word Count: 5,500

Rating/Warnings: M (swearing)

Please read: Author’s Note

A/N: So. As mentioned previously, this chapter was a bit of an out-of-the-blue inspo wack-job. If you’ve read UA previously, you may recall that I didn’t actually cover Day 2 of the Festival with the apple pie baking competition, etc. in any great detail beyond a passing reference. This was because UA was meant to explore an AU where MC was not really interested in Liam, or becoming queen, and what would happen if MC got the hots for Drake pretty much straight away. So, when I wrote UA initially, I decided to skip over Day 2 of the Festival on the basis that I didn’t feel like it added to the Drake x Harper story in any kind of significant way. But I have realised that there is a bit of a continuity gap re a comment that Regina makes in Chapter 8 - In It to Win It about ‘not holding back next time’, that I never really addressed in any subsequent chapter, and last week I got a random brainwave for this chapter, so here we are. Thank you so much to @aussiegurl1234 for pre-reading an earlier draft!

Her face lit up when she saw me, “Lady Riley!”

“Please,” I waved my hand, “Just Riley.”

“Of course!” She pinkened a little, “And you can call me Hana.”

“Hana it is! So, Hana, what you know about these other bitches?”

She giggled, “Riley, you’re so bad!”

I smiled back, “Seriously though. Any intel you can give me on the competition would be greatly appreciated. I just want to know what I’m dealing with here.”

Savage Love Chapter 5: So There's Hope

Series: Savage Love

Fandom: The Royal Romance

Pairings: Riley x Liam, Riley x Drake

Rating: NSFW

Warnings: Just a tiny bit of lemons.

A/N: In this fic, the Beaumont's are not broke

My other stuff: Master List.

I made my way through the palace to the boutique on the ground floor. I had studied the floorplan, so I knew where I was going. I paid attention as I walked. You never know what might be an important detail. I made mental notes of who I saw and where I saw them. I already knew which suitor was in which room. We had gone over room assignments during my meeting with Drake.

I made it to the boutique uneventfully and entered, giving my name and the Beaumont’s account number to the clerk. I studied the girl behind the counter as well as glancing around to get the lay of the room. No security cameras. No visible ones anyway. The clerk was unassuming, young, female. Never discount someone because they’re female. I’ve cracked a case or two that my male colleagues couldn’t on the basis of that alone.

Savage Love Chapter 4: And Then There Were Two

Series: Savage Love

Fandom: The Royal Romance

Pairings: Riley x Liam, Riley x Drake

Rating: M

Warnings: Mature themes

My other stuff: Master List.

I was barely out of my chair before Liam was across the room, sweeping me into his arms. My arms went around him to keep myself from toppling over. I laughed as he hugged me, then he pulled back to look in my face and asked again, “How is this possible? How are you here?”

Drake cleared his throat, “Hey, Li. I’m still here too.”

“Right.” Liam said without taking his eyes off me, “How’d you do it, Drake? How’d you find her?”

“I….didn’t.”

“What?” Liam’s eyes flicked over to Drake and back to me, “But you must have. She’s right here.”

“Wait. You….looked for me?”

Drake burst through the door of Liam’s private sitting room, “Where is she?” He demanded.

“Fucking finally! So nice of you to join us.” Liam greeted him.

“Where is she?” Drake ignored him.

“In the bedroom but-“

His head snapped toward Liam, “She’s in your bedroom?”

“It’s been three days, Liv, three fucking days, maybe he really isn’t coming back!”

“Have tried talking to him?”

“Oh gee, no, I never thought of that. Of course, I’ve tried talking to him! He won’t answer my calls or texts, I drove up to the cabin two days ago, but he didn’t even answer the fucking door!”

“What about Max? Did you try sending Max? Maybe you aren’t the best person to try to talk to him right now, all things considered.”

Drake, Riley and Liam gathered in the sitting room in the royal quarters, waiting for the doctor.

“Would either of you like something to drink?” Liam asked.

“I’m good.” Drake answered, “What about you babe?”

“I’d take a water.” Riley said.

Liam retrieved a bottle of water and took it to her.

“Thanks.” She said as she took it from his hands.
