Summary
Fjord was born to more than a servant’s life, but doesn’t know it. Prince Caduceus is betrothed to a man, but the wrong one.
A tale of mistaken identities, fairytale foolery, and the power of true love’s kiss.
(Or. a loose retelling of ‘The Goose Girl’, with some decidedly CR twists.)

Summary
She'd heard the phrase on and off throughout her youth. "Time heals everything".
During these travels, however, she'd witnessed the opposite more than once. Steel grew brittle. Flowers wilted. Bitterness and suspicion lurked in the back of the mind. She could feel it spreading under her own skin; a newfound fear, awareness of the evil and darkness in a world she thought she knew. Time doesn't always heal. Sometimes... it rots.
Maybe that's why, as he allowed his carefully constructed walls to lower, she decided time wouldn't have the chance. Not as long as she was around.
