    Summary

    Daphne Langford loves a good story - why else would she choose to study English at the University of Oxford? However, the freedom of third year finally allows her to extend her degree to a form of art she's been waiting to explore: music.

    After a night out gone wrong, enter Andrew, a cynical but driven postgraduate student with a passion for politics, mythology and all of the juicy theoretical expertise she needs to bring her thesis to life. Thinking they'll never meet again, fate just so happens to put Andrew right in Daphne's path... as her thesis supervisor.

    Using music and lyrics to express their true feelings, will the 'whiskey-glass-half-empty' singer and the driven optimist allow themselves to cross the boundary between musical allegories and reality, or are the smoke and mirrors offered by the whimsical city of gleaming spires too perfect of an illusion to hide behind?

    After all he's been through, she just might be "too sweet" for him...

    (I hope this can be the dry humour, dark academia teacher/student dynamic fic of your dreams - pls enjoy reading as much as I enjoy writing it xox)

    Summary

    "But he did make contact via a royal letter three months ago. It seemed he needed something.”
    Your sister paused, and closed her eyes. You waited. She turned her head.
    “He wanted you.”
    You scowled, waiting for the punchline. She remained silent.
    Quietly, you asked “And what did he want with me?”
    She let out a long sigh. “He asked for your hand in marriage.”
    -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
    The princess of the summer realm has been abducted by the King of the winter realm. But the more time she spends with him, the more she is starting to believe that something from her past is missing. Even scarier, she could be falling for him.
