Summary
When a former Queen follows a trail of altered manifests and missing names across the sea, she finds a kingdom held together by omission: polished on the surface, rotten underneath. In that unfiltered world, every door has a price, every kindness conceals a ledger. And a disgraced prince - accomplished liar, a man far too at home in the dark - stands exactly where the rot turns useful.
Forced into a brittle alliance inside a house built on appetite, secrecy, and survival, they circle one another through contempt, power, and a truth neither of them can afford to touch too soon.

Summary
Johanna Constantine has lost her dreams. Or rather, Morpheus inadvertently stole them.
I loved this pairing immediately on the show, and have had so much fun figuring out how to get these two stubborn, egotistical idiots together. This is a multichapter fic with a light plot, and slow descent into shameless smut. Don't blame me, they shouldn't give us that much chemistry on screen and not let the characters get to it. Story does pick up again in the later chapters though! Lots of charged pauses and standing too close together within…

Summary
"The best romances begin in friendship,
which is a slow build from strangers
and an even tougher climb from enemies."
Seven days after his true intentions are revealed and Arendelle is thawed, Hans faces exile from the country and the threat of death if he ever returns. But on the morning of the eighth day, he pleads with Elsa for a second chance, knowing he has nothing but pain waiting for him back home.
