Island of the slaughtered swap au
By @eavee-ry
Tumblr media
Congratulations Chris you made it off the island
You and your helpers had gotten everyone to safety
Well
Almost everyone
But do you really think luck protected you
No, you have it all wrong
They wanted you to leave
Only to follow you back home
To tear any remaining shreds of once you called your life
To break you or worse make you break yourself
Always in the shadows, with you every single moment watching you, haunting you, torturing you,
Letting the world around you crumble into insanity
Even if you learn to live after this Christ
The survivors will never forgive you
They will hunt you down
They will ruin you just like you did with their lives
They will make you experience the pain you had put their friends and lovers through
No matter what you do
No matter what you try
You will never be free

island of the slaughter headcanons
heather and ezekiel roll their heads up to the little cliff thingy and have a head race (but ezekiel likes to cheat sometimes by slowing down heather with his arm)
the dead victims can haunt (nicely) the living ones in case they're in danger (example: when katie's in danger, sadie pops up as a ghost only being able to be seen by the ones endangering her so the ones endangering her run away)
whenever geoff and bridgette are hanging out since owen and geoff are stitched together owens just singing romantic music to fit the vibe
before they escaped cody would sneak out every night to talk to noah at the lake

three princes walk into a bar
Tumblr media
Books: Crimes of Passion, The Royal Romance, Rules of Engagement
Pairing: M!Trystan Thorne, Liam Rys, Leo Rys
Rating: Teen
Word count: 1200+
Summary: Liam has been roped into fixing Trystan's public image. Leo? Leo is just along for the ride.
A/N: This is the seventh chapter of the Round Robin 2024 saga, hosted by @choicesprompts.
Tumblr media
Over the rim of his martini glass, Trystan examined the two men watching him. 
"You two trying to get into comedy or something? Three princes walk into a bar?"
"I'm a king," Liam corrected.
"I've had to deal with a lot of bullshit this week, Drakovia," Leo shot back, hunched over his own glass. "Don't test me."
"I'm just trying to understand why the two of you sought me out here, Cordonia One and Two. Aren't you," he pointed at Leo, "one of us degenerates in need of a PR miracle? And you," turning to Liam, "a little busy ruling a country?"
Leo downed his whiskey like a shot of tequila. Appalled, Trystan shook his head. "It ought to be a crime to treat a fine blend like that."
"Believe me, if you'd had the week I had," he glared at Liam, "you'd want to gulp down a good whiskey too." 
"Which brings us to why I'm here," Liam added. "I've been assigned as your partner."
"You're fucking with me. How the hell does a king get roped into playing PR consultant in a reality show?"
"Hypothetically, a king gets a desperate call from an old friend after your original partner quit."
"I see Bertrand is not above a guilt trip. Good for him. But what makes you think I want your help?"
Liam leaned closer. "Let's be honest here, Trystan. Your public image is a mess. At this point, short of solving a murder, I'm your only option."
"I'll take the murder. Got any dead bodies handy?"
"Afraid not. And no offense, but I really don't see you as a detective. You're too scatterbrained for that."
"Ouch." Trystan sipped from his martini. "Enlighten me, then, Coach. How do you plan to make an honest man out of me?"
Liam took Trystan's wrist and pushed it down. "First of all, you put that drink down. According to a cursory Google search, there are barely any pictures of you from the past three years, minimum, where you're not holding a drink."
"You're calling me an alcoholic?"
"Considering I haven't seen you in almost eight years, I have no idea. But you certainly look like one, and that’s what matters."
"Ohh, appearance makes reality. Is that a royal saying? I always thought it was a Queen Viktoria saying." 
"It's a rational person saying. The next step is making you look like you have other thoughts besides who you're going to screw next." He made a face. "Maybe Leo could take some pointers there."
"Hey, you're not my partner, I'm just along for the ride. Besides, may I remind you, I'm happily married."
"I'm aware, and I also know you're faithful to Katie. But if you keep acting like you did before you were married, the public will think it's not a big leap from getting wasted and puking on bushes to cheating on your wife."
Trystan exchanged a commiserating look with Leo. "Was he always like this?"
"Unfortunately."
"Pity."
"Back to you," Liam continued unaffected. “You were exiled almost eight years ago, and it doesn't look like you'll be welcomed back into the fold any time soon. We both know you didn't have anything to do with Countess Juliana's death..."
Trystan drank again. "Do we?" He asked softly. 
"Right. I know you didn't have anything to do with Countess Juliana's death." He jerked a thumb in Leo's direction. "So does he."
"You're a lot of things, Drakovia," Leo agreed. "But a murderer isn't one of them."
"Too bad everyone else disagrees."
"Indeed. But you're still a prince, your actions still reflect on your country, and it's only a matter of time before King Maksim and Queen Viktoria tighten the leash."
Trystan sighed and ran a hand over his jaw. His stubble contributed to the general air of dissipation that enveloped him like a mist.
"If you want to keep your comfortable life," Liam continued. "You'll make sure to go from 'drunken waste of space'..."
"Christ, Rys. Why don't you tell me how you really feel."
"... to 'proper gentleman.'" 
"Proper gentleman? Seriously?"
"He can't help it," Leo put in. "Put a man on a throne long enough, he'll start to sound like an etiquette manual. Then again," he turned to his brother. "I'm not sure you weren't born this way."
"Carry on like this, brother dearest, and I'll make sure your partner swaps places with Olivia. She finished with Carrera early anyway, I'm sure she could fit you in."
Leo grimaced. "As I was saying, Liam makes excellent points."
"Coward." Trystan gestured to the waitress. "Bring me another one, will you, darling?"
Liam pinched the bridge of his nose. "Did anything I said in the past twenty minutes get through?"
"Maybe? I vaguely recall something about proper." He laughed when Liam dropped his head into his hands. "Relax, Your Majesty. I'll be on my best behavior all week."
"By whose standards?"
"There goes my loophole." Trystan sighed. "Look, I couldn't care less about my public image, but I'm not in any rush to face my mother's wrath. Besides, you're quite frankly pitiful right now. Saying no would make me feel like I was kicking a puppy. A sweet, annoying puppy."
Leo slapped a hand on the table. “Thank you! That's what he reminds me of! A thirty plus year old mystery, solved in a single night. Maybe you really should be a detective.”
Liam looked heavenward when Trystan and Leo laughed and clinked glasses. Praying for patience, no doubt. "Not quite what I was going for, but I'll take it."
"So what's the plan, oh wise one? We've already covered my drinking.”
“We’re going over the basics.”
“How to Be a Productive Member of Society 101?”
“Exactly. And as your partner…”
Trystan sighed. “Can we come up with a different word? I don't really do partners.”
“As your mentor…”
“Partner it is.”
“... It's my responsibility to make you look squeaky clean for the cameras.”
Leo groaned. “Liam, no. I'll grant you that he needs to improve his reputation, but squeaky clean won't do. People will start theorizing that he died and was replaced with a clone. Or a very elaborate AI video.”
“You might be right. What do you propose instead?”
“He leans into the role of loveable rogue. He works hard, he plays hard. He's aware of his privilege and doesn't take it for granted.”
Liam turned to face his brother. “That's rather good. Why the hell haven’t you been doing that?”
A shadow passed over Leo’s face, but he grinned. “Wouldn’t you like to know? But you’re not my partner, thank God. So let’s focus on our exiled prince here.”
Trystan blew out a breath. “Look, I’d like to get out of this island sooner rather than later. Can we get this over with?”
“Surprisingly, Leo makes a good point. Too big a change wouldn’t feel authentic. You still need to come across as you, just…”
“An upgraded version?”
“Exactly. So.” He pulled out a leather-bound notebook and a fountain pen. “We begin.”
Three hours later, Trystan had a headache, Liam was inching ever closer to a migraine, and Leo… Well, Leo had his face buried in another drink. But the sense of satisfaction permeated the air.
“There’s hope for you yet, Thorne,” Liam said delightedly. “Two more days or so and you’ll be ready for the cameras.”
“Oh joy.”
“But.” He planted his hands on the table and leaned forward. “If you screw this up, I’ll personally make sure that your next partner isn’t as nice as me.”
Trystan laughed. “Fear not, young Jedi. No offense, but I’m done with partners. Never again.”

Isle of Misfits 
Chapter 9 – Inconvenient Truths 
Tumblr media
Fandom: TRR x Platinum x OH x CoP x TNA x ?
Series: Isle of Misfits, Round Robin 24, hosted by @choicesprompts 
Word Count:  1405
Characters: TRR – Liam Rys, Leo Rys, Olivia Nevrakis, Madeleine Amaranth 
                       RoE – Katie Rys 
                       TNA – Sam Dalton 
                       CoP – Trystan Thorne 
Warnings: M *(swearing, references to depression, alcohol abuse, suicide, infidelity) 
“Something’s burning…” 
Leo stopped short. The scent was subtle, but unmistakable. 
Smoke. 
Olivia and Leo exchanged worried glances, before darting down the corridor, following the faint acrid scent to its source. 
It didn't take them long to track down the fire, the smoke was now billowing out from beneath the door at the end of the hallway. 
Olivia pushed Leo back. "Get back! I'm calling the fire department!" 
"But—" 
"Just do as you're told, for once in your life!" the fiery redhead ordered, already stabbing at the numbers on her mobile phone. 
Leo's shoulders raised in defiance. But no sooner had he complied, than the door to the suite burst open, and a large plume of dark grey smoke billowed out. 
Coughing and spluttering, Sam Dalton, was waving the acrid haze out of his face. 
"Sam?" Leo exclaimed concernedly, stepping forward. "What the fuck, man.!?"
"I'm okay!" Sam assured him, trying to clear his throat. 
Olivia put her phone on hold, her eyes darting over the wayward billionaire, looking for any injuries. "Are you sure?" 
"Yeah, I'm sure..." Sam said, taking a few shaky steps into the corridor. 
Olivia's sharp eyes narrowed. "Are you drunk?" 
"No," Sam scoffed, before reconsidering his statement. "Well, a little. I may have had one or two shots." 
"Or a whole bottle," Olivia murmured, rolling her eyes. 
"I don't know about that..." Sam muttered, looking around himself in bemusement. "I was just trying to put together some food, and... well, next thing I know, there's a fire. Must have forgotten to turn off the hot plate." 
"Are you kidding me?" Leo exploded. "You nearly set the building on fire, just because you couldn't be bothered to make a sandwich?" 
"Yeah, yeah, I know..." Sam mumbled. "It was stupid." 
"I'll say!" there is a Michelin star chef here on the island, why are you even trying to cook?"
"It wasn't like I was trying to kill myself or anything," Sam grumbled, as he staggered off in the direction of his room. "I just couldn't remember if it was gas or electric. It's a common mistake." 
"No, it's a common sign of early dementia," Olivia retorted. 
"Nah," Sam scoffed, raising his middle finger and slammed his door shut.
The sound of an elevator sounded down the hall. Countess Madeleine Amaranth, a member of Liam's council and Leo's former betrothed, strode towards Leo and Olivia.
Madeleine's cold green eyes took in the smoke damage to the door. "What's going on here? The building is still standing, I see."
Liam had enlisted Madeleine to help reform Leo as a role model for royal decorum since she was a stickler for etiquette and was the queen of spin. True to his promise.
"It's called karma, you idiot," Olivia muttered back, folding her arms and smirking. 
"Oh, what fresh hell is this?" Leo growled.
"Ah, Madeleine," Leo greeted her, turning on the charm. 
"Leo," Madeleine acknowledged coolly. 
"What brings you here, on this fine evening?" Leo asked.
"Liam has requested my assistance. Apparently, you need remedial lessons in proper manners." 
"Remedial...?" 
"Yes. We have already seen that you cannot handle an engagement," she says, glancing at Olivia, who glared back, "or a marriage, or a mistress, or even a simple friendship..." 
"You're not seriously still mad about that, are you?" Leo exclaimed. 
"About being publicly embarrassed, or humiliated? Oh, no. That is water under the bridge," she mocked. "However, Liam has asked me to tutor you in proper decorum. So, if you are finished with your tantrum, perhaps we can begin?" 
Leo's jaw tightened. 
"Well, I think we've got things sorted here," Olivia said, laying a hand on Leo's arm. "If you'll excuse me, Maddy." 
Madeleine's eyes narrowed. "You're not going anywhere. You are to meet with Trystan Thorne. I'm sure he'll find that your presence will be beneficial during his sessions." 
"What? You're not my superior." Olivia objected, glaring at the tall blonde. 
"I am if Liam says so," Madeleine shot back. 
Leo's shoulders raised as Olivia's grip tightened painfully. 
"Now, if you don't mind," Madeleine continued imperiously. "I need to have a chat with my wayward student." 
"Your wayward—!" 
"Ow!" cried Leo, wincing. "You're going to leave a bruise, Livvie..." 
"That's the plan!" Olivia retorted, digging her fingers into his bicep. 
"Come on, Olivia," Leo implored, gently prying her fingers loose. "Let's just get this over with." 
Olivia looked like she wanted to argue the point, but Leo's pleading gaze eventually softened her resolve. 
"Fine," she growled. "But you're on your own next time, your highness." 
"Sure," Leo agreed, sighing. 
Olivia gave him a warning look, before stomping off down the corridor. 
"Shall we?" Madeleine prompted Leo to offer his arm for her to take.
*** 
"This is pointless," Leo announced, leaning back on the lounge chair and closing his eyes. After many hours of intense etiquette lectures, role plays, quizzes and more, he felt his stomach rumble as they waited for lunch to be prepared by the Michelin chef, sans alcohol. 
"What's pointless is the amount of money Liam has spent on trying to make you a decent human being," Madeleine bit back, flipping the cover of her personal binder of court decorum closed. 
"I am a decent human being," Leo countered, frowning. "I'm a far better man than you'll ever know." 
"Oh, really?" Madeleine challenged, raising her eyebrow. "Then how come your wife is threatening divorce?" 
"That is none of your business, or Liam's for that matter," Leo snapped, opening his eyes. "And just for the record, my life is none of yours either. You don't know the first thing about love, or me." 
"I know you can't keep it in your pants," she retorts, rolling her eyes. 
"So do I," a voice came from the doorway. 
Leo turned towards the speaker in shock.
"Katie," Leo breathed shallowly, pushing himself upright. 
"Don't get too excited," Katie told him, folding her arms. "I'm not here for you. I'm here for the kids." 
"You're... you're..."  Leo stammered nervously. 
Looking at her husband, she almost felt sorry for him. Almost. 
"Why are you here, Katie?" Leo demanded, standing up. 
"Your brother sent me to help," she explained, looking everywhere but at him. 
Madeleine excused herself and quietly sauntered out with her binder in hand.
"Yes. He thought it might help to have me here. Help you remember what is important. Family, love, loyalty." 
Leo shook his head, moving slowly towards her. "You don't get it. I'm not the same man anymore." 
"Then maybe it's time to prove it." Katie said. 
"That's what I'm trying to do!" Leo shot back, stopping in place. "I'm here, aren't I?"  
At that moment, Leo understood why Liam sent him to the island. His epiphany.
"I have to go," Katie said, her eyes softening. "I'll be back later, when you've had time to process this." 
Leo watched her walk away, a sense of unease settling in the pit of his stomach. 
*** 
Later, Leo found himself sitting on his balcony, staring at a glass of scotch. He had resisted the urge to drink it, but he was still tempted. His phone buzzed on the table, and he reached for it. 
"Hello?" 
"Hey," came the reply. 
"I made a grave mistake ..." 
Leo paused, relieved at the sound of his fellow 'in-mate'.
"Thorne." 
“How so?” 
"Well, remember when we met at the bar with your brother. I should have believed your brother. That he would be true to his word with his threat." 
“Oh boy, this sounds painful.” Leo smirked, already knowing where this conversation was heading.. 
“Who did he partner you with?” 
“Olivia Nevrakis! She is terrifying! Put a dagger to my throat when I dissed her. She threatened to go lower if I didn't pay attention.” 
"Did she now? Maybe she's the one you need to focus on," Leo mused. 
"She's so intense, it's scary. And she has no interest in me. She is only here because Liam asked her to be.” 
"And here I thought she was coming here for me," Leo sighed, taking a swig of the scotch. 
"Hey, what happened with that countess?" 
Leo paused. "I... I... what did you hear?" 
"That she's going to stay a couple more days." 
"That's just great," Leo sighed, pinching the bridge of his nose. "Just what I need."

Isle of Misfits
Chapter 10: Dealing with the Paparazzi.
Fandom: TRR x Platinum x OH x CoP x TNA x ?
Series: Isle of Misfits, Round Robin 24, hosted by @choicesprompts
Characters:
TRR – Liam Rys, Leo Rys, Olivia Nevrakis, Madeleine Amaranth
RoE – Katie Rys
TNA – Sam Dalton
Word count: 1240
Tumblr media
The phone pinged.
‘1 new message’
Leo sighed and picked up to read. He was tired of explaining himself to Katie. The world never understood him or his desire to live a care free life. The paparazzi won’t let him breathe. But he thought Katie would understand. She would always know. He had tried to be honest with her, always.
He was struggling to stay abreast sailing through the rough waters when his brother decided to take the corrective action for Leo’s deeds . He was forced into this PR stunt of a circus with his childhood friend, Bertrand, playing the ring master. And as if Gods had not had enough of entertainment, he was paired with his ex, Madeleine! Just perfect!
Coming out of his reverie, he tapped his fingers on the home screen to check the new message .
‘Meet me at the beach restaurant in 10minutes to collect your dossier .
Countess Madeleine .’
“Better than having Sam Dalton as a mentor” he consoled himself. “His brains function through that Rocket in his pocket. At least Madeleine has her head over her shoulders.”
He dragged himself out of his bed. Sharp after 10 minutes he presented himself in front of the Countess.
“What do you plan to do with this?” He lifted the heavy bundle of papers filed into a folder neatly. ‘Prim and proper. So much like Madeleine.’
But Madeleine’s reply was totally off beat. “why you have not shaved?”
Leo shook his head as if trying to decipher. “What?” He moved his fingers through the over grown messy beard.
Madeleine scoffed, “ Let me make it clear Leo. You are constantly under lens.”
“That’s exactly what I don’t want.” He cut her off.
“You were the crown prince.”
“And I abdicated.” He tried to prove his point.
“Doesn’t matter. You can’t change who you are born as.”
“Why?” He pulls his fingers through his sandy blonde hair In frustration.
“Prince Harry abdicated too. But he is always in news.”
Leo scowled, “For heavens sake! Can’t they let me live in peace?”
“Only if you don’t give them chance to rip through your peaceful personal life.” She air quoted.
He nods in agreement. “And I can see, you are here to tell me, how.”
“Now you are talking business.” Madeleine smiled.
Leo closed his eyes for a moment. He had to do this for Katie, for his children. He took a deep breath. “Okay. Tell me what am I supposed to do?”
“You need to look perfect when you walk in public. It shows that you are leading a perfect and happy life.”
Leo smirked, “Yes it’s a very happy life.”
“Make it look like one and I can tell you, they will stop chasing you.”
“Fine! What next?”
“I have appointed a valet for you. He will help with your attire, hair and your over all appearance. You will not leave your room before he checks you.”
Leo rolled his eyes. He had no other option but to accept what was thrown at him.
For the next hour he went back and forth over the plans Madeleine had laid out for him.
******************************************
Bertrand’s office next day
Olivia was seated across Bertrand, discussing their next modus operandi. Olivia had successfully completed her task with Raleigh Carrera and was now assigned to the case of the exiled crown prince, Trystan Thorne, of Drakovia.
An urgent knock on the door brought them to a halt. They both looked at each other. Bertrand voiced, “Come in” , wondering who was their uninvited guest for the meeting .
Leo stormed in and slammed a tabloid onto the desk in front of Bertrand. Olivia stared back at Leo’s fuming face while Bertrand looked in confusion, “ What does this mean?”
“Open and see for yourself.” Leo pointed out his finger.
As soon as Bertrand picked the newspaper and unfolded it, his eyes went wide with shock. Olivia leaned towards him to peer into the news.
The newspaper had images of Leo and Madeleine sitting in a cafe. The first one had Madeleine gleaming at Leo and the second one showed them shaking hands near the exit. The tag line read ‘Former crown prince Leo Rhys, spotted with his ex, Countess Madeleine, at leisure on a private island. Do we smell something burning in Katie Rhys’ sweet home?”
A smile played on Olivia’s lips.
“Seriously?” Leo asked looking at Olivia’s reaction.
“It’s not about you.” She fanned away with her hand.
“From what I can see, it’s definitely about me.” He turned to Bertrand angrily, “This is how you were going to help me save my image and my marriage?”
Olivia spoke instead, “Its not his fault. Madeleine should have been more discreet while planning her meetings.”
Just as on clue, Madeleine stepped inside the office. “Speak for yourself. I know my job well.” She snatched the tabloid from Bertrand’s hand and glanced at the pics, dismissing it in an instant.
She focused on Leo, “ This is the reason I insisted you need to dress up properly. Had you been in a formal attire, this would have been ignored by the media as just another business meeting.”
“Great ! So now it’s all my mistake? You know what my mistake is? Trusting you guys with my future.”
Bertrand replied in a calm note, “I think you are over reacting. It’s just two pics, we can change the flow of events. My PR company can assure you, we are good at turning the waves in your favour.”
Before he completed his sentence, the doors to his office opened with a bang. Drake barged in raging in anger. “The hell you turn things only in your favour. You Beaumonts are the most mean and selfish men walking on this damn planet.” His voice echoed across the halls outside the office.
Bertrand’s eyes roamed behind Drake to check if there were any audience at his doors. He settled his gaze back on Drake. “May I know the reason for this intrusion?”
Drake sneered, “You call yourself CEO of a PR firm yet you don’t have updates of the newsflash on TV channels across Cordonia?”
Bertrand gave Drake an irritated glare and picked up the remote to switch on the flat screen hanging on the wall across his table. The screen brightened up with flashes of red haired lady bouncing on a dance floor. All of them in the room knew that was Olivia but the next few moments left everyone’s mouth hanging open.
Bertrand came into the frame trying to dance. He made some lewd gestures and then grabbed Olivia into a smooch.
Leo and Madeleine jolted back at Bertrand. Even Olivia had shock written all over her face. Definitely she was drunk that she didn’t remember this incident.
Bertrand gulped and fumbled with the remote to switch off the TV. He didn’t want to listen or let others in the room listen to the reporter’s remarks.
“I... I ... I can explain”, he said nervously.
Drake sprinted to him in two steps and held him by collar. “How many times are you going to explain? First my sister, then your back stabbing brother took Riley and now you target my girl friend?”
“Riley is with Max?” The baritone voice from the entrance of the office brought everything to standstill. They all turned to see Liam standing in a thunderstuck state.

Stormholt Masterlist
Tumblr media
This limited series will be my re-write of the hit movie sensation Saltburn. It will be a TRR AU, and include the iconic and infamous bathtub scene, vampire scene, and the cemetery scene. Because it’s me, there will be pushing of boundaries. (Chapters will be appropriately tagged with content warnings)
If you are unfamiliar with Saltburn, on the surface it appears to be the story of an unlikely friendship between outsider Oliver/Ollie (Drake Walker) and rich, popular Felix (Liam). However, it quickly devolves into an intricate web of obsession, deceit, depravity, and murder.
Trailer: Saltburn | Official Trailer (youtube.com)
Not saying I will do the original story any justice, but hopefully I achieve my objective of crafting an enjoyable story that is both similar to and vastly different from its inspiration, while still able to toss a few twists and surprises in.
Chapters will be posting soon. (I know I say that alllll the time, but promise I am working on them now) Order of and titles of chapters may change.
Cast of Characters:
Drake Walker: the outsider who infiltrates everyone’s lives
Liam Rys: rich, popular, living a frantic life at a frenetic pace
Regina Rys: Liam’s stepmother; pompous, prideful, a bit daft
Constantine Rys: Liam’s father, he knows more than he tells
Riley: Liam’s wife; blunt, erratic, and mentally ill … but not stupid
Madeleine: Regina’s cousin (once removed), who has outlived her usefulness in all ways
Maxwell: Childhood friend who has fallen on hard times and found a soft place to land
Leo Rys: Liam’s half-brother, a member of the duchy’s constabulary; Drake looks very familiar to him
Katie: Leo’s wife; her motto is “touch but don’t look”
Savannah Walker: Drake’s estranged sister
Jackson and Bianca Walker: Drake’s parents
Casey Valentine: Drake’s ex-situationship
Bastien & Gladys: Long-time servants at Stormholt; they came with the house
Chapters:
Prologue: A Fine Morning
Chapter One: Meet. Cute.
Chapter Two: Besties
Chapter Three: Menagerie
Chapter Four: Getting to Know You
Chapter Five: Deadly Sins
Chapter Six: My Best Friend’s Sister
Chapter Seven: Rub a Dub Dub
Chapter Eight: I Know What You Did Last Night
Chapter Nine: The Train Station
Chapter Ten: A Thief in the Night
Chapter Eleven: Little Lies
Chapter Twelve: A Series of Unfortunate Events
Chapter Thirteen: The Kingdom of Heaven
Epilogue: Alone at Last

Isle of Misfits: Chapter 8 - Burnt by the Truth
Tumblr media
Fandom: TRR x Platinum x OH x CoP x TNA (so far...)
Series: Isle of Misfits Round Robin hosted by @choicesprompts
Word Count: 1,200
Characters: TRR's Leo Rys, Liam Rys, Olivia Nevrakis (RoE's 'Katie Rys', TNA's Sam Dalton and CoP's Trystan Thorne mentioned)
Warnings: M (swearing, references to depression, references to alcohol abuse, references to suicide)
“You’re still angry, aren’t you?” Liam asked as he and Leo stepped out of the bar following their randezvous with Trystan Thorne.
Leo threw a scoff back at his brother. “Why on earth would you think that, Your Majesty?”
Liam heaved a low breath as he watched the former Crown Prince of Cordonia stride off into the warmth of the night.
Leo had always been the more opinionated of the two of them — which certainly got him into a lot more hot water with their father than Liam believed was strictly healthy for one’s constitution — and this latest ‘divergence of opinion’ was no exception.
His brother just had to be made to see that the intervention was for his own good.
Brokering a peace alliance between warring states would’ve been easier…
But, soothing ruffled feathers is what Liam had been trained to do since he could talk, so if anyone could make his obstinate brother see reason, it was him… right?
“Leo, please,” he pleaded, jogging after the shadowy form of his sibling. “If you will just—”
“Why?” came the bitter response. “So you can tell me how much of a disappointment I am? How much I let you and the kingdom down? Don’t think I haven’t heard that speech a thousand times before…”
“Actually, I was going to try and apologise…”
His brother’s words caused Leo to stop short. Turning slowly around, he regarded Liam under the moonlight. “You pulling my leg?”
“No,” Liam insisted, spreading his hands to show his sincerity. “I genuinely am sorry. The entire situation could have been handled much better. You’d come back home to try and get away from the unfortunate situation you found yourself in — quite accidentally, but all accounts — and instead of offering you the moral support you so clearly carved, I annihilated your trust by going behind your back.”
“So, why did you do it?” asked Leo, folding his arms. His brother’s words had touched him, but he wasn’t going to give Liam the satisfaction of caving to the clearly well-rehearsed words to just hug it all out. “If there was an issue, you should’ve just come to me.”
“I… I couldn’t,” Liam admitted, his shoulders dropping a fraction of an inch.
“Why not?” Leo demanded suspiciously.
“Because Katie intimated that you would never do something like this voluntarily,” Liam explained tightly. “And… if you didn’t do it, she was going to file for divorce.”
The breath left Leo’s body like oxygen being sucked out of a vacuum chamber. “She what—?"
Liam looked up at his brother sympathetically. “Why didn’t you tell me that things had become so fraught?”
“I didn’t realise that they had…” Leo admitted in a hollow voice. “I knew she wanted me home more, to be with the kids, and stuff, but… Oh, Jesus, I’ve fucked this royally, haven’t I?”
“It’s not too late,” Liam consoled, stepping up to his brother to lay a hand on his shoulder. “She’s willing to give you this chance. But you have to commit to the program. Bertrand has had success with several clients already, who were arguably in bigger strifes than you.”
“Not with their wives, though…”
“No,” Liam conceded with a smile. “But that’s why you’ve been paired with a mentor — so they can guide you through—”
“Sam Dalton is a dick.”
“I am afraid I have not had the opportunity to—”
“He left his wife to be with his maid,” Leo spat. “What the hell does a man like that know about love, commitment, the sacrament of marriage, of—”
“You left Madeleine in the lurch when you announced your engagement to Katie…”
Leo opened his mouth, only to quickly close it. “That’s not the same thing.”
“Bertrand knows what he’s doing,” Liam assured him. “Give this a chance. Who knows? You might be pleasantly surprised by the outcome.”
“Why couldn’t you have found me a normal rehab in Switzerland? Or, better yet, California?”
Liam couldn’t help but snort. “Because you escaped the last rehab centre that Father sent you to. In the middle of a blizzard.”
“Yes, that was certainly one of my more daring jailbreaks,” Leo admits whimsically. “But the food was terrible. I had to bail.”
“Yes, well, you are on an island this time,” Liam reminded him wryly. “And the Beaumonts have a Michelin star chef on retainer, so—”
“Yeah, yeah,” muttered Leo with a sigh. “I’m stuck here.”
“That’s the spirit!” quipped Liam with a grin, slapping his brother jovially on the arm.
Leo rolled his eyes at him.
“But in all seriousness,” Liam added. “I hope you make the most of it. And are able to patch things up with Katie.”
“Yeah…” agreed Leo with a low exhale. “I hope so, too.”
Tumblr media
“Rough night?”
“You could say that…” Leo admitted, shuffling across the polished marble floor of the foyer.
Despite the tense start to the heart-to-heart, he had managed to make up with Liam before his brother’s departure back to the mainland. But the revelation that his own wife had been the instigator behind not only the very frightening kidnapping, but this mandated exile as well, was going to take longer to digest than the remnants of the copious amounts of alcohol he still had floating around in his system.
Dropping the magazine that she’d been casually perusing, Olivia swung her killer heel clad feet off the arm of the Chesterfield sofa she’d been lounging on, and moved to join Leo. “Need a hangover cure?”
“This is going to take more than a pair of raw eggs and some Lythikosian pepper sauce…”
She grabbed his arm to pull him to a stop. “Liam told you, didn’t he?”
Leo’s eyes met Olivia’s flashing emerald gaze, before falling to the floor. “Yes…”
The Duchess of Lythikos’ mouth hardened. “He shouldn’t have done that. It was not his place.”
“Yeah, well… The cat’s out of the bag now…” Leo grumbled, continuing his weary trudge back to his room. “That’s got to count for something, right?”
“Not really…” Olivia muttered. “Because now you’re going to fall into a chronic bout of depression, try to give yourself liver poisoning, and seriously contemplate jumping off the twelfth storey balcony, and I’m going to be the one who has to try and talk you out of it… Again.”
“Hey!” Leo objects, coming to a halt. “It wasn’t that bad! I—”
“If I hadn’t booked you on that Mediterranean cruise against your will, you’d be lying six feet deep, rather than merely lying to yourself.”
“Harsh!”
“But accurate,” Olivia replied. “Which is why I’m going to throttle our beloved King the next time I see him. He’s single handedly set you back by at least two weeks.”
“Well, considering that I’ve gotten absolutely nothing out of the first two weeks I’ve been here, I’d say we’re simply back to square one!”
“Eugh…” groans Olivia. “You Rys are going to— What’s that?”
“Ow!” cried Leo as Olivia’s blood-red nails dug suddenly into his forearm. “What the hell are you—?”
“Something’s burning…”

3rd victim: Sadie undas final moments.
katie and Sadie were running away from the killer Katie keeping a good pace while Sadie couldn't, Sadie was panting heavily as Katie went into a treehole saying "Sadie! Hide quick!" Sadie went behind some bushes not knowing her pigtails were sticking out. The killer had an evil grin plastered on his face as he took a step closer to the bush every second or two Katie was terrified as the killer walked past the tree he said something quietly that Katie couldn't hear yet Sadie did hear and she tried to get up but it was too late for her the killer grabbed her by her pigtails as she screamed and begged for Katie to help her.
Katie sat in the tree hole holding back her tears covering her mouth as the killer knocked Sadie to the ground calling for something Katie thought to herself "what are they calling fo-" Katie saw a pack of wolf's emerge from the darkness her eyes widened as she stared at the frightened Sadie crying saying "please help me Katie! I don't wanna die!" Katie looked guilty as the wolfs lunged at Sadie digging into her skin as she screamed the killer laughed as Sadie got attacked by the wolfs the agony she must've been in she wouldn't stop crying and yelling for Katie but Katie just knew she couldn't help her she didn't wanna die
After a few minutes Sadies screams of agony went quiet as the wolfs and the killer howled walking off after they were far gone Katie got out the tree hole running to Sadie crying "Sadie wake up! Please! I don't wanna lose you!" She cried holding Sadies lifeless arm "someone help!" Katie cried out she put her head on the dead Sadies chest and after what seemed like forever she got up wiping her eyes "I'll live for you sister..." Katie said quietly going off to tell the group the bad news...
this is my first time making something like this so I'll hopefully make a better one soon!
All credits go to @eavee-ry for the au!

Sunday Six 4/9/23
Sometimes a story takes hold of me and I write it like crazy. That's when you get chapters often, sometimes even daily.
Other times, no one story pulls my attention and instead, I jump back and forth, here and there, writing a few paragraphs at a time on multiple stories. It takes longer to get something out, but more stories are getting worked on so there's that.
When I haven't posted in a hot minute, but have multiple things in progress is when you get a Sunday Six so here it is!
The Royal Romance Fan Fiction
Tumblr media
Spoilers are under the cut
Bad Parenting Chapter 3:
“Well, however, it happened, you’re lucky.” Leo shoved his hands in his pockets with a sigh.
“I thought you enjoyed being an international playboy with no responsibilities,” Liam gave him an appraising look.
“I did,” Leo shrugged, “It’s getting old now and I feel like I’ve failed at every relationship I’ve actually tried to have.”
“You’re talking about Katie and Liv, right?”
“Right.”
“You still have feelings for her?” Liam asked. He didn’t have to specify whom he meant. They both knew who had maintained a hold on his heart all these years.
Dark Elf Chapter 5:
Hana Lee, the beautiful and quiet lady from Shanghai, made her way into the formal dining room on the arm of Rashad Faheem, one of her father’s business associates.
Her parents had sent her to Cordonia, her mother’s homeland, for the social season. Their objective was simple but clear. Find a husband. A suitable one.
One failed engagement behind her meant that her prospects were limited among her parent’s social circle. She hated her parent’s social circle. It was traditional, outdated, male-dominated, and suffocating.
She didn’t want a husband.
Ever.
Her eyes slid across the table to the woman by the side of the younger prince.
In Your Room (Dreo) Chapter 7:
“What’s the point, Leo?” Drake asked as he stood and started pulling his pants back on, “You’re going to have to pick a wife soon. Of course he’s pushing you, you still haven’t told him about us!”
“Because he won’t understand and he won’t care!” Leo protested.
Because he might send you away if he knew.
Anything that stood between King Constantine Rys and what he wanted was an obstacle to be dealt with and nothing more. His son’s feelings certainly weren’t going to factor into anything. Cordonia was what mattered. Leo could hear him now.
Sacrifices must be made for the greater good, son. A king is not allowed personal indulgences. Emotions are a thing to be controlled, or else you’ll be easily manipulated by crown chasers and sycophants. Your feelings have no place in governance. A strong ruler is not ruled by emotion.
“So, what are we even doing then?” Drake asked bitterly as he pulled his shirt on.
Heir Apparent Chapter 20:
She pulled her hand out of his and her body jerked away from him as hurt and anger bubbled up in her heart, “You want to see other people?”
“What? No!” panic swept through him as he tried to explain, “It’s not for me, it’s for you!”
“What do you mean? You’re not making any sense! You want me to see other people?”
“Only if you want to…”
Leo & Liv Chapter 7:
One morning, Liam pulled his bedroom door open to find Leo lounging against the wall in the hallway across from his door.
He tried to close it, but Leo was faster than he looked.
“Why are you avoiding me?” Leo asked as he pushed his way into the room.
“I…what?” Liam shook his head in denial, “I’m not avoiding you!”
“Yes, you are. I haven’t seen you in a week!”
“I’ve been busy-“
“Doing what?” Leo demanded.
Savage Love Chapter 31:
“You’re working on the assumption that Rico thinks this is just another undercover assignment, like any other.”
“Yes…” I turned my head to look at him, “What else would he think?”
“He did find you here, what if he knows this is your real identity?”
The bottom fell out of my stomach, “No!”
Liam already had his phone in his hand dialing, “I’m calling your father right now, don’t worry!”
The De Facto Queen Chapter 2:
“Why is everyone here? Are we having a sleepover?” she quipped then her eyes widened as they darted from Drake to Liam. Earlier events with Liam made that joke hit differently and she flushed as she caught his eye.
Liam chuckled softly, “No such luck.”
No one but her seemed to read anything into that. Thankfully.
“Why are we all here?” she asked again.
American Girl Chapter 5:
“Riley, wait!”
He jogged back over, swept her into his arms, and kissed her.

Victim 2: Katie Uratu
~Crooked Katie
By @eavee-ry
Day 17
Location: Eastern woods
Rule 2: Look at what you did
------------------------------
Katie was many things in life, she was a daughter, she was a friend, and she was a best friend, Katie was Sadie's best friend. There was never a moment when they were apart and even if they were it wasn't for long. Nothing could ever tear them apart unless forced, forced by your hands Chris, now she'll never forgive you.
You've gotten too far Chris
Lost in the woods now?
Hearing whispers everywhere?
Maybe you are but you don't know where
Listen closer you could hear the struggling breaths of something trying to breath, to gasp for air but can't
Slowly the breathing you hear is your own
As you feel hands strangling you
You try clawing but nothing is there only the tightness of an invisible force
You fall down as you struggle, your vision starts to get hazzy
everything around you seems to blacken
you look up
There she is staring at you with her gaping eyes as her blood drips on your face
Her neck is too long, too bruised, and too broken
Her fingerless palms now forcing you to face the consequences
Art work: me
Tumblr media
------------------------------
Day 17
Victim 3

i miss you, pretty boy. i think of all the filthy things we could be doing and i need you to know that i'd rather just have you sitting on my lap and telling me about your day than any of all that.
“Do you really mean that?”
Ryan rubbed his temple as Luca waited for him to answer. “Ry?”
“Aye, Luc. I do. So please come over here. I need you in my lap, boy.”
Luca didn’t hold back, slipping across the ancient carpets of the castle on bare feet to climb into his lap and settle himself against his husband’s chest. He looped his arms around Ryan’s neck and pressed a litany of little kisses along his bearded jaw and unconsciously grinding against him before abruptly pulling back sheepishly. “Um. Sorry.”
Ryan chuckled and for the first time Luca realized how tired he sounded. “I dinnae mean ye couldn’t do anything, love. I’ll never say no to your kisses.”
“It’s okay if you need something else sometimes,” Luca said quietly. Weirdly he felt almost shy voicing them. “I mean, something else other than… you know, that. But, if it helps, I’m kind of relieved.”
“Oh?”
“Yeah,” Luca leaned in to hug him briefly before pulling back and stroking his husband’s face. His beard always felt so soft. “It’s nice that it’s not… just sex, with us.” He kissed the older man’s nose lightly, making his mouth curve in a smile. “I like that you let me just ramble. Do you want to know what happened today? I was in the north wing looking through those piles of books Skye had brought in from the store room, you know the ones from the rebellions, and I was just sitting there minding my own business when I felt something scurry over my foot and it was a mouse, Ry! My first Scottish mouse! It was tiny and so soft and cute and it looked hungry, so I went down to the kitchens and nagged cook for some cheese, because that’s what you give them in the movies, right? Cheese? But apparently, no, Scottish mice don’t eat cheese so I thought maybe it was the type of cheese so I got different cheeses and brought them back but then Rouke showed up and told me off for feeding the-“ Luca held up his hands in air quotes, “Vermin.”
“Yer father warned me about you and feeding things you shouldna be feedin’.”
Luca snickered and poked Ryan lightly in the ribs. “Does that include you? I could feed you my co-“
“Luca,” Ryan’s warning growl made Luca squirm.
“Okay, okay,” Luca followed it up with an apologetic kiss. “I’m just trying to make you laugh. Okay, um. Where was I? Oh! Yeah, well, then Rouke showed up and he had this weird, dopey look on his face, which I guess isn’t that unusual when you think it’s Rouke, but I know he’s been getting antsy about Kate but then today he was wearing a wrap around his hand, like a bandage and yesterday they were somewhere at the Eastern end of the estate, you know, where the stones are- And you know what that means, right?” Luca picked up Ryan’s hand and pressed a kiss first to the band around his wedding finger, the matching one to the ring Luca wore and then to the scar from a more ancient handfasting ritual lay. “Remember when we had bandaged hands after going there?”
“Aye, love. Yer fathers aren’t going to be happy to think they’ve missed out on yet another wedding.”
“Yep,” Luca cast his husband a rueful smile. “But remember when we got back? Skye knew something was up right away and she planned the dinner and got the champagne out so we could celebrate? I called in every favor I could with the staff to make something happen tonight too. A little celebration for Katie and Rouke. They belong together. Like you and me belong together. I can feel it.”
Luca fiddled with an invisible thread on Ryan’s shoulder. “But if you’re not up for a party, I’m sure Kate and Rouke will understand.”
