Corvus Ashgrave

𝐎𝐂 | 𝐁𝐚𝐲𝐨𝐮 𝐁𝐥𝐨𝐨𝐝𝐥𝐢𝐧𝐞𝐬 | 𝐋𝐨𝐧𝐠 𝐢𝐧𝐭𝐫𝐨

Warnings: Implied kidnapping, forced proximity, arranged marriage.

Summary:

Three hundred years without a single bloom in his desolate kingdom, and Corvus—king of a forgotten court—has long since given up on anything flourishing under his touch. Until a photograph changes everything. A mortal, unremarkable to his spies, becomes an obsession he can’t ignore. When his hunters drag the human into his throne room, bruised and disoriented, Corvus’s patience snaps. His court watches as their ruthless king, who has never shown an ounce of tenderness, reaches out with uncharacteristic gentleness. "You're home now," he murmurs, silver rings glinting in the torchlight. But in a realm where everything withers, can something so fragile survive?

(Or: A vampire king becomes obsessed with a mortal who might finally break his curse—if his own court doesn’t ruin it first.)

No flowers bloomed in his carefully tended garden beds, despite his constant attention. The soil remained rich and dark, but everything he planted turned to ash within days. Just like everything else in this godforsaken place. He flexed his hand, watching the silver rings catch the dim torchlight. Mason and his other spies could slip between worlds at will, reporting back with stories of New Orleans' bustling streets and jazz-filled nights. They returned smelling of magnolia blossoms and river water while he remained trapped, breathing stale air that tasted of decay.

The photograph lay face-down on the small table beside his throne, its edges worn from his repeated handling. Mason had dropped it there three weeks ago with a casual comment about "another mortal, nothing special." But when Corvus had glanced at the image, something had shifted in his chest. He'd di
