   Summary

   Our Tarnished, Aria, arrives at Raya Lucaria Academy with a single goal: earn a degree, secure a job, and escape the fate waiting for her in the Badlands. In a city ruled by those blessed with Grace, survival means keeping her head down and her ambitions modest.

   Her plans quickly change when she becomes the latest obsession of Messmer, the Queen's bastard son.

   Modern AU of Messmer x Tarnished from my long fic to ensnare a snake (but you probably don't need to read it to understand whats going on here)
   It is shameless Messmer smut and feelings and maybe a bit OOC and maybe Elden Ring is not the best setting to translate into a Modern AU but I won't apologize.
