    Summary

    “Perhaps it isn’t fair of me to ask you to enter the same cage I was born to,” he pulled his head away from hers, looking down to her with a sadness that felt so much softer than it had the rest of this night, “but the thought of waiting on nothing but hope for the day I might be granted a name and the freedoms that come with it to instead ask you to be my wife, I…” He trailed off with a slight shaking of his head, not able to articulate the words. He cared for her deeply, he want her as his wife, she had known that for some time. But to such a degree he struggled for the words to describe the chance he would lose her to time and his obligation to the Emperor? Was she worth that.

    “None the less I will ask Maomao do you truly want to become my consort, the only one I will ever take, even if not tonight some night soon” the assertion shocked her, she didn’t know why, she knew that’s how he felt. She couldn’t help but look up from his chest to his face at the certainty he placed in those words. Even with the hesitation he had been riddled with since she first arrived tonight.

    Canon divergent at light novel 13, and Jinshi's summons.

    Summary

    inamorata (noun): a person's female lover.

    I wanted examine Rishe's and Arnold's unresolved trauma (her childhood upbringing and deaths, his self loathing) through the lens of omegaverse and give her the opportunity to explicitly work through it and support each other. Also, what circumstances would it take to not only change Rishe's sense of propriety towards intimacy, and what would it take to change Rishe's stance from always working against Arnold to working with him?

    And there's a lot of smut, too.

    Summary

    This work references "Revenge: A Cold Dish Served Hot" but does not require you to read anything before jumping in.
    ----
    He tilted his head, the movement subtle but predatory, his hand sliding to her neck. He wasn’t squeezing, wasn’t holding her there, but the weight of his touch was enough to remind her exactly who he was.

    “You’re mine, Yoshino,” he murmured, almost too softly. But there was nothing soft about the way his fingers flexed slightly against her skin or the way his gaze tracked the flush creeping up her cheeks. “And no one—no one—touches what’s mine.”

    Summary

    Jinshi has always sparkled for others, but Maomao has never been mesmerized by it. It was just another thing she was immune to. Now here he was, not particularly sparkly, just obviously in love, and Maomao felt what she could only describe as being enraptured.

    Maomao knew she needed to say thank you, but at this moment she did not trust her tongue with words. She was afraid something rather mushy would come to her if she tried to speak, and she wasn’t ready for that yet. Which felt silly to acknowledge - that she had married this man, but was struggling to love him.

    And it was not loving him - Maomao had deduced this now. It had almost nothing to do with Jinshi at all. Her constipation with regards to her own ability to love had nothing to do with her commitment to him, either. She cared for and admired him deeply, more than she had anyone else, except maybe Loumen. Maomao hopes someday she is able to admit that to him, but she is still accepting that it is even safe to admit to herself.

    or

    they say the first year of marriage is the hardest - this is Maomao's.
