    Summary

    “Andrew,” her voice came out a rasped whisper. She paused, swallowed thickly, “Andrew, what do you expect to come of this?”

    The question stung for a moment, the pain quickly melting into a burning ache for her. They didn’t have enough time and he needed her, needed whatever she was willing to give.

    “I can’t say I know,” he responded lowly, unable to produce a more detailed answer that wouldn’t destroy this, destroy them.

    She stared at him, a storm of emotions raging behind her eyes.

    “Do you want me here?” He prodded, his voice little louder than an exhale of breath.

    “I do,” she returned, an immediate response.

    He"s a prince, she"s a strange woman who lives in the woods, and both are terrible at communicating - the usual. Expect it to get angsty and smutty and full of yearning because this is mostly a self-serving endeavor.

    In the spirit of self-serving endeavors, updates are irregular and not consistently edited, so read at your own risk! There is a happy ending to come, but we"re going to meander a bit before getting there.

    Summary

    Maisie Quinn, after inheriting a home in Ireland from her late grandmother, slowly learns a dark past about the land in which it was built on.

    Navigating change, loneliness, and loss, how will she react once her world that used to be straightforward and uniformed turns upside down. What will she do when he keeps coming back?

    Though Andrew is a being from Irish mythology, I promise it isn’t with the intention of making him out to be some forest god! I love fantasy and I love Hozier, honestly, I always associated him with nature because of the themes in his first album, never because he was Irish!!

    Summary

    Daphne Langford loves a good story - why else would she choose to study English at the University of Oxford? However, the freedom of third year finally allows her to extend her degree to a form of art she"s been waiting to explore: music.

    After a night out gone wrong, enter Andrew, a cynical but driven postgraduate student with a passion for politics, mythology and all of the juicy theoretical expertise she needs to bring her thesis to life. Thinking they"ll never meet again, fate just so happens to put Andrew right in Daphne"s path... as her thesis supervisor.

    Using music and lyrics to express their true feelings, will the "whiskey-glass-half-empty" singer and the driven optimist allow themselves to cross the boundary between musical allegories and reality, or are the smoke and mirrors offered by the whimsical city of gleaming spires too perfect of an illusion to hide behind?

    After all he"s been through, she just might be "too sweet" for him...

    (I hope this can be the dry humour, dark academia teacher/student dynamic fic of your dreams - pls enjoy reading as much as I enjoy writing it xox)
