Emily stared out into the dark. She wasn’t sure how, but she knew he was there. Waiting for her. If she looked hard enough, perhaps she could spot that glint of gold-

"Your Majesty."

“If I may?”

Before she could protest, the young lord stepped away. Emily’s eyes narrowed at the man who took his place, though she accepted his hand on her back without comment. He said not a word, and his silence was intriguing. She studied him carefully as they danced.

A/N Oct 2018: Ayyy, here’s some more of the fae AU. I still don’t have titles, but I’ve gone ahead and figured out where different chunks fit, so there’s at least an order (Prelude, 1-1, 1-2, etc). More of my work on AO3, FFnet, ko-fi (for previews). I wish there was some way for people to do mid-page notes like how people can leave comments on soundcloud; I always like to know which moments hit and which miss. Anyway, enjoy. ^^

At this rate, I won’t even want to sneak away.

The feast of the night was - apparently - to be held outdoors, lit by paper lanterns strung between tents, and candelabras that bordered on garish. While the common folk caroused around bonfires, the nobility would sit at tables decked in gilded ivy drinking wine, dancing, suffering through formal introductions and - for Emily - trying to ignore her father’s overprotective gaze. She supposed his worry was logical, given his obsession with fae. It was the last day of the Mummers’ Feasts, after all. The time where the veil between worlds was thin, workers rested from their harvest, and left offerings and held raucous celebrations to appease the fae and keep in their good graces. If there was ever a day for Corvo to be paranoid, this seemed appropriate. Still, his constant stare was bound to get irritating.

A/N Sept 2018: I have no idea what to call this series, or if I should title it at all. So here’s the first bit I wrote for the fae AU (once more I find myself writing in manageable little chunks and then going in to bridge between sections). It’s mostly establishing the backstory as shifted to the new setting. If you like my work, find more over on AO3 or FFnet, and keep an eye on my ko-fi if you want the occasional preview. Oh, also, I hesitate to ask but... comments?.

Ever since she was a child Emily had been cautioned: beware the fae. She’d heard the typical warnings -- faerie rings, wishing wells, mysterious lights in the darkness. But they were just cautionary tales, names of people she’d never met, stories about a land where things were so beautiful they would drive men mad. She’d never known a family that thought itself to have a changeling. She’d never spotted a brownie dusting up the corners of the castle. No faerie-gifted musicians or craftsmen had ever taken work in the royal palace.

When she was ten - when her mother was murdered - things changed. Years later Emily struggled to remember that day-- those months. People grabbing her, pulling her away as she screamed for her mother, watching glassy eyes that stared unblinkingly to the sky, fingers digging into her shoulders as she shrieked and wailed. Some time - days? weeks? - locked up in a room with only masked jailers to bring her sustenance. Losing herself in daydreams of how her mother was fine, and how she’d have every guard and soldier and knight in the kingdom looking for her daughter, how Corvo would come for her. Every time she heard swords clashing she’d imagine it was him, on the warpath to come rescue her. But it never was. Then she’d been moved.

A/N Nov 2018: A lot of the brainstorming for this whole fic was done with the help of Iron Moon who was very nearly a co-author until I got impatient and cranked out several pages in a short amount of time and then just kept writing. She is still the go-to for discussing plot points, and - let's be honest - probably the only one following along as I post over on Tumblr. This is also HEAVILY influenced by Holly Black's work, and I definitely borrowed some of the faerie mythos from her worlds, as well as kinda yolo-ing it for other world-specific myths and things.

“I… I need help.”

He’d wandered into the wrong glade if he was hoping for charity.

If he’d wanted something sweet and kind he’d do better bringing milk to the toadstool rings on twilit hills. Not coming empty-handed to the foxfire ring in the deep forest.

“And why should I help you?”
