Summary
There’s a story Ruby really liked, before she started having a lot more on her plate than a fairytale girlfriend. A story about a princess looking upon a woman of no station in a crowd, and finding herself whisked into that woman’s body. And, in turn, the woman took hers, until they laid eyes on one another once again, blushing and gleeful on the parapets of the castle.
For a long time, Ruby thought her soulmate would come along as sweet and sure as a fairytale— A true love, with a Happily Ever After to fit.
Then, staring up at Salem as defiant as a dandelion breaking through the sidewalk, eyes flickering like a crystal turning the light, something… Shifts. -

Summary
In one world, a troubled little bluebird leaps from the gilded cage of Atlas, and lands in the hands of three women who'd change her life forever. To become May Marigold, to become a Happy Huntress, to be loved and live happily-ever-after. In another, by a small quirk of fate, the same girl falls into the grasp of a different charismatic leader, with a different crew of outcasts. The fate of all Remnant may shift under the fluttering of a blackened bluebird’s wings.
After fleeing Atlas Academy with a wounded sense of self, the miserable heir to the Marigold family fortune finds themself living rough in Mantle's backstreets. In a world where Cinder never falls, where Winter becomes a much happier huntress, and where Salem still seeks a viable new vessel to inherit the Maidenhood, it is the cry of Marigold's heart that seals their fate. When a powerful stranger comes calling to dredge them out of the slush and grime, and in an instant, sees her for who she really is - and all that she can become - a future, fledgling Fall Maiden is born.
(The less-fortunate flipside of Connect Four.)
