    Summary

    An Ascendance of a Bookworm AU. Urano Motosu expected many things from reincarnation. Being born a noble should have been one of the better outcomes.
    Instead, she finds herself placed in Ehrenfest's temple as an unbaptized blue shrine maiden, forgotten by a family that never visits and known only through the payments that keep her there. With no noble backing, no political support, and only twenty-three books to her name, Rozemyne resigns herself to a quiet life among the temple's attendants. But the temple is filled with people just as forgotten as she is. Surrounded by attendants who slowly become family, gray priests and shrine maidens struggling to survive, and children hidden away in the orphanage, Rozemyne begins changing the temple one small step at a time. Armed with memories from another world and an overwhelming love of books, she creates products, starts workshops, builds connections with merchants, and works to improve the lives of those around her. As merchants, nobles, the Archducal Family, and eventually all of Yurgenschmidt become interested in the mysterious blue shrine maiden, Myne's influence continues to grow. A story of books, found family, and the forgotten shrine maiden who would change it all.

    Summary

    “Without her, the Garden will perish, but without him, she will perish.”

    Hearing those words from Aub Ehrenfest, the Zent decides that the boy in question should be kept within reach instead of being allowed to go to his father. If the Goddess of Time truly needs Quinta alive, then there should be no issue with the Zent taking him in.
    Though, of course, a mere Seed must never be allowed to come into power. So Quinta, soon Ferdinand, learns that his thread is already tied and is taught that his role, the purpose of his whole existence, is to protect his Goddess of Light at all costs for the sake of Yurgenschmidt.
    He studies, he trains, and he searches.
    But when he eventually finds her, he is met with caution, hesitance and rejection.

    This Devouring girl wants nothing to do with that random noble who just appears and swears to protect her. She knows that everything has a price, and she fears what kind he is going to demand.

    Summary

    I caressed my belly tenderly as the screams of my stepmother echoed through the halls of the Red Keep.

    My mother’s ladies fluttered around me in concern. They worried for me. Why would they not? After all, my muña had suffered greatly under the weight of pregnancy and had died in childbirth.

    No. Not died. Murdered.

    My father had allowed those grey rats to cut her open for a boy who died overnight. Rage fills me every time I remember that my muña died butchered like an animal.

    I will never forgive him. Nor will I ever forgive Alicent. That whore slipped under my father’s sheets while my muña’s ashes were still warm.

    She goes around acting all pious and haughty, even going as far as to scold me for my unladylike behavior. But whoring herself to the King is acceptable?

    Alicent is but the daughter of a second son, from a minor house at that. She was my maid, the one who dressed me and cleaned my privy. There is no way in the Fourteen Hells that I will bow to her.

    Much less call her queen.

    Summary

    *Rating and Warnings may possibly change in the future*

    ----------

    She is nothing like *her* no matter if she shares *her* traveller's soul

    She is serene where *she* was excitable
    She exalted in battle where *she* avoided it
    She is acquiescent where *she* made loudly her grievances known

    And a thousand thousand more little differences that build upon each other until no mistake can be made between the two

    And yet and yet and yet and yet

    He falls in love with her because of not in spite of all that's new

    ----------

    An exploration of how Emet-Selch fell in love with the Warrior of Light and Darkness, not because of who she used to be, but because of who she is.
