2020 Edelthea Secret Valentines Exchange, for Amalie (@bakamiel Twitter): Vampire!AU!
Cursed by a noble Dorothea is a vampire that lives in an abandoned castle, where she once hoped that a passing noble of many would offer her stability and companionship. None have shown her kindness, so she feasted on every noble that came to the castle. It appeared she was doomed to be alone forever, feared by people that has isolated her from the world.
One day a mysterious white-haired woman comes to her castle to seek shelter from the political climate in Adrestia. She goes by 'Gisella', and whilst Dorothea knows that is not her real name she plays along. Unbeknownst to the brunette this woman is Edelgard von Hresvelg, future emperor. Overtime the two bond, and they learn to let go of their facades around each other. Love is the last thing the two ever expected to find in their lives.
This is the the best written piece I have done for Ao3. I am extremely proud of it (I think I outdid myself!)!
