Summary
"How does one show the common man there's no need to fire up the guillotine?”
"You make a statement. Let someone in. Someone the ordinary person can see themselves in. Or at least, someone who can symbolise the new, changing Idris. One whose fate isn’t determined by a bunch of old men smoking cigars and sipping brandy at a country club.”
Will looked over at his son keenly. “Why James, it sounds as if you have someone in mind.”By the final decade of the 20th century, modern monarchies are an endangered species. James finds himself a cynical heir to an illustrious dynasty, struggling to define himself against history and re-define a stale institution. Cordelia, his old childhood friend, is just trying to save her troubled family. He needs the right sort of girl; she needs the right sort of boy. The solution couldn't seem simpler. Although their marriage is intended at first to be mutually convenient, they quickly learn neither love nor duty are simple things.
Mainly Jordelia to begin with, later with more Thomastair and Blackdale. Please check chapter content warnings.
Set in the same universe as TFF, but can be read independently.Series

Summary

Lady Athena is completely anonymous. She's the writer for an ongoing webcomic called "The Traveler" who works with the artist Madam Misty to bring the story to life. The fandom is large and their social media presence is expansive. But she never dares to reveal her identity.
Both are heading to New Rome college secure in their secrecy. But when friends, romance, and social media collide, their personal lives seem to bleed into their work. And everyone might get a lot closer to discovering the truth.

Summary
In the modern day and age, Cordelia Carstairs has been moving around the world for her parents' company for the past five years. They recently realised, though, that their hectic lifestyle did more harm than good, and so they had decided to move back to the town where Cordelia and her brother Alastair had grown up.
Moving back means many things, like being reunited with her best friend, Lucie, and Lucie's brother, James, who had been Cordelia's childhood crush.But what sounds like returning to simplistic life in a small English town ends up being more complicated than Cordelia ever could have imagined. Why was James so distant all those years? Who is Grace? What does Matthew Fairchild, James' friend, want from her exactly? And what happened between her brother and Thomas Lightwood?
Or, someone had to do it, so I did: the James/Cordelia/Grace fic (loosely) based on the teenage love triangle songs (betty, cardigan and august)
Basically just a modern, all mundane AU.
