Summary
When the Emperor passed away unexpectedly, Jinshi took the throne as regent until the next Emperor came of age, and cruel promises needed to be kept: Maomao would not be his wife. Released from her duties, Maomao returned to the Verdigris House as a courtesan.
At the age of fifteen, the new emperor ascended to the throne, and Jinshi was freed from the role. He had never taken a consort, never a concubine. Rumors circulated of the former regent’s chastity. Even Maomao heard this, though she did not listen. She was a courtesan now. And yet, he visited her.

Summary
What Maomao wanted most, though she’d never admit it, was to believe she deserved the care Jinshi offered so freely, to stop waiting for the moment he’d realise she was nothing special after all.

Summary
Jinshi is used to Maomao's antics - but today she took it a step too far.
She put herself in serious danger, and Jinshi refuses to let her get away with it.
Unfortunately, or fortunately, perhaps, he soon finds that it's a little difficult to punish someone who enjoys the punishment as much as she does.

Summary
He grabs the hem of her stockings, his fingers grazing against the bulging skin of her soft thigh. He could feel his shaft already harden at the light touch, and Riftan grits his teeth at the heat that pooled in his lower abdomen. By the time he was rolling down one of her socks, bunching it around her ankle and slipping it off her foot, he is already painfully throbbing against his trousers.
Sensing his turmoil, Maxi smiles and brushes away the bangs that poked his eyes. His body tingled at the contact, and her lips part oh so sweetly.
“Where do you belong, Riftan?”
Riftan shudders at the question, uttered in a low and silky tone. Every one of his defenses, if he had any at all, immediately crumbled into fine sand. He couldn’t stop himself, feeling like a beaten dog, as he bent his head and pressed a devoted kiss against the pale arch of her foot.
“A lowly knight like me… belongs at your feet.”

Summary
Her eyes were still on him, her shock still not waning. Despite having the same eyes as his late wife, he can’t help but think that this woman and his wife are two completely different people, not because of the color of their hair but because of the way this woman’s eyes looked radiant, far from the sullen look his wife had all those years ago. It had been a long time since he stared at those eyes that resembled a lake in the middle of winter; yet in his memory, the sadness in her eyes was as clear as day. He had been desperate to gauge the cause of the melancholy that seemed to take root behind her striking gray eyes. Ever since he was a boy, he had wanted to become the comfort she sought.

Summary
During the campaign to defeat the dragon Sektor, the Remdragon knights exhaust their supplies. Their commander soon discovers that they have run out of coins and, instead of asking Princess Agnes for help, his men convince him to demand it from the Duke of Croyso. While Sir Ursuline and Sir Gabel argue with the Duke about this, one by one, the small layers in which hides his eldest daughter, Lady Calypse, are being revealed.
A truth that soon reaches Riftan and gradually triggers a chain reaction.
This story is based on the events of the Riftan POV, but will generally focus on the events of the first book.

Summary
Blood covered his chin and the floor - strangely littered and covered in blue petals. It was like she was being pulled into a deep cave as she looked at Riftan and saw what seemed to be horror or even fear for the first time that was etched onto his handsome features. His dark, almost black eyes looked up at her face , and he gasped for breath as his calloused hands shook as they grabbed her wrists, pushing her away. It was then that Heberon and Ursuline lifted him.
Maxi slowly stood, her hands hovering out as if he would fall again - like she could catch him despite the fact his large body would only pull her down with him with him once more. She knew all too well that she was too small and he was too large, but her heart pounded in her ears. All that mattered was he didn't fall again.
-----In which there is a confrontation and a realization between Maxi and Riftan.

Summary
Maximilian reaches out a hand and this time Riftan doesn’t flinch away. Her palm rests on his forehead and she nearly gasps.
“Your skin… i-it’s too hot!” His skin, sheening with sweat, almost felt like he had stepped out of a giant brazier. “Do you feel like you have a fever? Why isn’t Ruth treating you for this?!“
“He's tried. This isn’t something Ruth can fix.” He murmurs, eyes fluttering closed as Maximilian combs back his sweat slicked hair with her hand. Riftan groans as Maximilian continues to fret over him. “I am in pain."
Or: Riftan drinks a love potion. Maxi decides to help him out.

Summary
The exact moment Colin comes, he realises Penelope is watching him.
He is a fucking idiot, isn’t he?
Because he’s so used to touching himself with his noise-cancelling headphones on. Months of staying in dorms and hostels, shared rooms where he must pleasure himself silently, watching porn on his phone under the sheets once he is sure everyone else is asleep. It felt like second nature to do it here, now, on his little sister’s best friend’s sofa where he is crashing for the next two weeks.
In all fairness, she was supposed to be out all evening. She was not supposed to be standing behind him, her eyes darting between his laptop (“BBW redhead facesitting” in his search-bar) and his cock and the cum now painting his stomach and fist, his joggers and underwear pushed to his thighs.

Summary
“Thomas- Mr. Spencer has not… dishonored me at all,” she said, as though the idea was preposterous - no, offensive. The implication of it, of Penelope’s loyalty to this villain, made something dark curl inside Colin’s throat.
“Your allegiance to a man who has harmed you worries me greatly.”
“Harm? Colin, he has never harmed me.” Penelope took a great breath, meeting Colin’s eyes as she spoke next. “He is my lover.”

“I didn’t want anyone to know me, but, then…”
His head tilts to the side and runs his hand through his hair. There’s a tightness in his stomach and chest making it harder to breathe. Side effects of being around the magnificent her, he supposes.
“Then… what?” She prompts softly, confusion evident in her voice.
They are frozen in time.
Don’t tell me you do not know…
“Then, you.”
…Sequel to Poor Puzzled Moon.
A story of fear, loss, friendship, family, and love during the second World War.

Her Constant Admirer by Pollination

Summary
Instead of dismissing Penelope with a thoughtless remark, imagine if Colin had responded with: "While I am not courting Miss Penelope Featherington, she remains my most cherished friend, a lady whose wit and warmth surpass all others. To court her would indeed be an honor beyond measure, though I fear I am unworthy of such a distinction. An untitled man, still searching for his place, could hardly hope to match a woman of her grace and brilliance.
Or picture an alternate universe where Colin, unaware of his growing feelings, has long seen Penelope as a constant in his life. Upon his return from travels, he is taken aback when Lady Featherington expresses her gratitude, for it is his regard that has rendered Penelope the most sought-after woman among eligible bachelors and even have the possibility to be named this season’s diamond in her third year out.
