Summary
You find yourself in Twisted Wonderland, a whole new world rich in history and magic - but with one near-death experience after another, you were one more overblot away from losing it.
Your only solace and escape from reality were the few hours every night spent with a mysterious, eccentric horned man that liked walking around abandoned ruins and being called literally anything but his actual name.
Malleus made you feel safe and calm, like you weren’t so out of place in this world.
Then, you joined his club and invited him over for Christmas, and suddenly you couldn't ignore the way he looked at you anymore, the way his touches lingered.
But you were just friends… weren’t you?

Summary
“Mal, you know you’re everything I want, right?”
Malleus’ eyes softened even more, a flash of vulnerable reverence glinting through, as he brought his lips to your temple and kissed your hair.
“And you are my every desire,” he whispered back, like a prayer, and you knew he meant it.
His lips lingered as he pulled away from your head and straightened, eyes still gazing at your own.
“Today is my gift to you, Child of Man,” he continued, voice soft and velvety, squeezing your shoulders in affection. “For everything you have endured, for everything you have done for me, and for everything you mean to me… today will be perfect.” His smile gained a dangerous edge, and his eyes narrowed. “That is my oath. And nothing will stand in our way.”
--------
Or the time Malleus prepared the most amazing birthday for you, and things didn't quite go as planned.

Summary
You and Malleus were in love and so very happy together. But dating a literal prince certainly came with its challenges - especially if said prince came from a nation ruled by magic, with a not-so-wonderful history when it came to human-fae conflicts.
And what were you? A magicless, commoner human from another world that had literally just appeared out of nowhere.
Your self doubt was eating at you despite his reassurances - that is until you received a special invitation to spend summer in Briar Valley, from Her Majesty herself, the one and only Queen Maleficia.
You survived 7 overblots, and now it was time to survive the first meeting with Malleus’ grandmother. It’s going to be fine… right?
