[xx-thedarklord-xx]

saw your name on the erised particpant post and i'm so excited to read what you wrote! it's like seeing authors in the wild when they do fests and stuff. can't wait

Ahh thank you! I've participated three times in Erised and unfortunately, this year will be my last time for that particular fest, but I am glad you are looking forward to it! There's another fest I participated in as well that will get revealed in the next couple weeks. If you are interested in my past fest fics, I'll link them.

-Dear Cousin, Love Regulus [Harry/Draco Big Bang 2018] As the sole Malfoy heir, Draco understood that his path was set long before his birth; who to be, how to act and what his choices should be. What he had not counted on was the power of outside influences. Letters from his deceased cousin caused him to realize that he did have choices, starting with the choice to be someone else, to be who he wanted to be. The road to self-discovery was difficult and navigating that path in the shadow of Harry Potter was its own challenge but maybe, just maybe, his friends would help him along the way. And he would owe it all to Regulus Black.

-Ardour of Karma [H/D Erised 2019] “Malfoy knows something is going on with you and unless you both want to go back to fighting and death glares, you should fix it.”

“How do I do that? Just waltz up to him and say, ‘I know I’ve been a prat but your scent makes my dick swell. How’s your day?’”

“Mind repeating that?”

The familiar drawl had Harry’s throat clamming up as his blood ran cold. Oh no.

-The Forsaken [Harry/Draco OwlPost 2019] When Draco imagined his future as a child he thought he'd be a Potion Master, get married and maybe have a kid. But the reality was he was a retired Assassin, bitten by a Vampire and mated to a reckless, idiotic, foolish ex-Auror now turned Veela—Harry Potter.

-Borrowing Courage [H/D Erised 2018] After years of being a Magical Artist and painting for other people, Draco decides it’s time to paint for himself for once. The secrets pile up as he tries to unravel the mystery of his relatives but the only thing he didn’t count on was having to go to Potter of all people for approval.

-Save a Horse, Ride a Malfoy [HP Kinkfest 2020] Riddles are woven throughout life, some never answered and many lost in frustration. Whatever riddle it was that defined what Harry and Draco had was a mess of a riddle that worked for them, despite what everyone else thought, even if there was no answer—yet. Sex was another riddle, only that was one they had solved many, many times over. 

-Still Standing [H/D Fan Fair 2019] Not many know the evil origins of a Philosopher's Stone. When Draco discovers that the Goblins found one and kept it, he'll stop at nothing to see it taken care of. Even if that means having to deal with Gringotts' very own resident twat: Harry Potter.

-Augury Forecast [HP Drizzle Fest 2018] Draco had always known that teaching at Hogwarts would be an experience, he just didn’t think that meant a flash flood in the kitchens, a windstorm in the Great Hall, or a sandstorm in the Quidditch pitch. Months of extreme weather would grate on anyone’s nerves, but to have Potter, the ever annoying Divination Professor, around every corner was even worse. So much for a quiet life at Hogwarts.

-Teach Me [HP Contest Fest 2018] "If you can’t learn Occlumency, then you can’t become an Auror.”

No. All of this couldn’t be for nothing. Harry hadn’t spent so much time proving himself, proving that he was more than just a famous name for all of this to go to shite. “This can’t be the end.”

"I have someone in mind that could teach you if you are willing, but I can't guarantee he will help, especially considering your... past." 

"You don't mean Malfoy, do you?"

-Worth Betting On [HP Joggers Fest 2018] The easy way Malfoy breezed into the arena in an unprofessional attire—grey joggers that outlined far too much, and a white dress shirt open with nothing underneath—which showed off his chest, his sweaty sweaty chest—had Harry sitting up straighter. It wasn't unusual to see Malfoy in such a state of undress, it was a signature move that he refused to change.  

Not that Harry wanted him to change. 

 Or the one where Draco is a professional Duelist, and Harry can't stay away from the matches.

GUESS WHAT CHUMS

It's Royal Blood 2: Secret Lesson Summary Time

While not as wild a ride as Kill Your Boss, the level of shenanigans in this is very high for a story of this size. With 5 love interests and 21 chapters, Royal Blood 2 somehow manages to feel bloated AND YET not long enough. There are hiccups in the storytelling that can't be pinned on MC being a bumbling twenty year old. There were points where the game mechanics seemed to be fighting with the storyline. The narrative had to get bent out of shape to accommodate the demands of an otome. I managed to get Kane's, Theo's, and Andrew's endings before the Book Club finished (nooo, don't, I want to get the other endings! D:).

With that in mind, let's time warp! It's...not present day! No one has cellphones, and MC's default name is Dorothy Miller. I changed her name to Hailey because I want Alex's sister to be happy in some universe! Dorothy is chatting on a landline phone with her friend who we never see, haha. Dorothy's like "Guess what! We are in the USA and it is prom! I am going with Lars!"

Who is Lars??? This Beckett-looking mother-fucker:

[[Image ID, Royal Blood 2: Secret Lesson story lobby with the Lars' closet widget open. Lars has brown hair, golden eyes, and a scar running through left eyebrow. He wears a red Letterman jacket, a white shirt, jeans, and green-white tennis shoes. The closet displays various accessories for Lars, including sunglasses, duffel bag, wolf ears, and a wolf tail.]]

Dorothy and Lars are friends since childhood, and the player gets to decide if Dorothy has a crush on Lars or sees him as family, haha. Lars, of course, is like Dorothy "do u kno i luv u, I MEAN you look pretty."

Kane, Lars' older brother, also thinks Dorothy looks pretty, but he does the whole "You look pretty." "What?" "I SAID YOU LOOK SHITTY. HERE, YOU CAN TAKE MY CAR TO PROM, BYE." XD

SO after Kane throws some car keys into Lars' face, the couple drives to prom, and I see my high school prom memories flash before my eyes like some near-death sequence (I'm joking: my prom was lovely). Lars says he has to tell Dorothy something, but is waiting for the perfect moment. Dorothy is ??? on the outside and on the inside has a little panic that Lars might ask her to be his girlfriend. But before they can speak or even dance together, Blonde diMeani Eliza interrupts them. She and Lars are Prom King and Prom Queen and have to wear crowns and take pictures. As Eliza drags him away, Lars yell-asks Dorothy to meet him at the after-party.

You can chose to wait for Lars to return and attend the after-party OR you can go home and go the fuck to sleep. If you attend the after-party, Dorothy finds a balcony to brood on. She wonders if she's ready to be a girlfriend, if she really sees Lars in a romantic light; if she's ready for physical intimacy. This is where Royal Blood 2 shines, I think. Dorothy is a realistic depiction of a new adult with new adult concerns.

Eventually someone hugs her from behind and...it's Lars! He remarks that Dorothy looked lonely on the balcony, like she was going to fade away D: He and Dorothy finally get to dance and there's a lovely CG:

[[Image ID Royal Blood 2: Secret Lesson, Lars Hegner CG 1, Against a starry sky, Lars twirls Dorothy against him. Lars wears a grey suit with white shirt. His bowtie matches Dorothy's green, patterned dress.]]

As they twirl, Lars says he has two secrets to tell Dorothy. Except he chickens out and asks Dorothy IF he were to ask her to be his partner IF she would say yes. XD Dorothy's response is kisses. The pair are mid-make-out when a wolf howls in the distance.

Like a dog to the sound of a doorbell, Lars is now Alert. He practically flees Dorothy, saying he'll meet up with her later. Dorothy is understandably confused.

Confusion turns to annoyance, which turns to disappointment as Lars ghosts her all summer. He and Dorothy got into the same college, and Dorothy was looking forward to going together. But it's orientation and Lars is nowhere to be seen!

Dorothy gets lost on campus trying to find the gym for orientation. She's trying to figure out the school map when three other students literally walk over/on/through her. She's like, "Hey! Watch where you're walking mo'fos!" The boys' neck snap so fast back in her direction, hahaha.

These three men are none other than the Russell Brothers, and love interests. And they are rude! She yanks one of the brothers' hands to remind them it's polite to help someone up when they've fallen. This further intrigues the brothers. They get all up in Dorothy's business. Dorothy sees a red aura around Jay, the blond brother in a sweater, and he stares at her hard enough to burn holes. She asks him what the fuck he's doing and turns away, which shocks him even more!

A tiny goth girl (who I am SO sad we can't date) appears and introduces herself. Her name is Amy, and she informs Dorothy they're roommates (oh my god they were roommates). She offers to escort Dorothy to orientation. The brothers are low-key vibrating in confusion at this point. They're like "Aren't you interested in us?" and Dorothy just tells them to fuck off LOL. What a way to meet love interests.

Amy and Dorothy attend orientation and get lunch afterwards. Amy explains that the Russell brothers are the heartthrobs on campus. I suppose this is a small college? In my experience college is a lot less clique-y than high school, but somehow we have the popular, mean boys.

Time skip to first day of classes. Much to Dorothy's annoyance, Jay is in her Vampires in Literature class, hahaha. Even more annoying is the only seat available is next to him. She sits and totally ignores him. This blows his goddamn mind. His fingers brush against her wrist.

And the screen gets all rainbow swirly. In not so many words, Dorothy is now aroused. Jay asks if she can feel that, and she's like YES WTF, STOP, WE ARE IN CLASS. Jay says he can stop or keep going, whatever she prefers, and he orders the class to not pay attention to them. #DominateBaby

You can choose to have the vampire get you off while the teacher lectures about the eroticism of vampires. XD XD XD When Jay goes for round 2, Dorothy pushes him away and flees. Jay is dumbstruck. A person resisted him??

After Dorothy calms down, she realizes she left her bag in the classroom. She waits for class to be dismissed before going in. However, the professor informs her Jay took her bag. Jay and the other Russell Brothers hang out in the East Tower for their "modern humanity" club...which is a club to complain about humans discuss the state of humanity today. It's also like? A dorm room? IDK, the narration repeatedly calls it a club room, but there's also 5 bedrooms in it.

In any case, Dorothy fumes that Jay is trying to force her to interact with him, but she does want her bag back. She walks to East Tower, but can't seem to find an entrance. After some convenient tripping into a painting, a secret door opens and Dorothy sees this:

Hahahahahahahaha [MASQUERADE BREACH]
