    Summary

    It happened right around 8:45, tucked into the thin fold of space between his barely eaten bowl of soup being cleared from the table and his wine glass being dutifully refilled for the fifth or sixth time. The main course was minutes away. The sky outside was a pretty violet color, dark enough at the edges that it was hard to tell where exactly the sea pressed up to meet it. Prince Stolas of the Ars Goetia, newly 22 years old, took a measured breath, looked around the opulent dining room filled to the brim with laughing, unbothered nobility, and realized with absolute clarity that he was going to have to kill himself.

    -

    Stolas is a miserable passenger on a luxury cruise in Envy, traveling with his fiancée and her brother in the days before his very much arranged wedding. Meanwhile, Blitzø is a stowaway on that very same cruise, in pursuit of a target that will help him keep his floundering assassination business (and two newlywed employees) afloat a little longer. When their paths (literally) collide, all bets are off and things sure do happen, both in a hot-and-heavy way and a oh-shit-this-boat-is-DEFINITELY-gonna-sink way.

    (Yes, this is a loose Titanic (1997) AU.)

    Summary

    Blitzø is 20-years-old. He's living his dream of looking after horses as a stablehand. However, he must endure the pompous attitudes of his employers, the Ars Goetia royals. Despite their daily torment, Blitzø is as bold and hotheaded as ever, but he must keep his cool in order to hold down his job.

    Stolas is 20-years-old. He's trying his best to fit the role of the Prince of the Ars Goetia. In order to do that, he has to become everything that he isn't. But when he's told that he must wed Stella and birth an heir, the burden of carrying his crown of thorns becomes harder to bear.

    On their first meeting, they're obviously total polar opposites, born and raised in two separate worlds. Blitzø is shameless and crude, and it riles Stolas up! Meanwhile Blitzø has never met a Goetia like him – Stolas is just so fun to tease!

    It's the worst first impression, and they absolutely hate each other… but only at first. Eventually, walls come down. The closer they get, the more they realise there was so much they had wrong… and, actually, there’s just so much to love.
    ...
    An enemies-to-lovers slowburn, where Stolas is a young angsty prince-to-be, and Blitzø is a flirty trouble-making stableboy.
