#attolia

you want REAL enemies to lovers? they're from rival countries who wage war against one another. he steals from her, over and over again. she maims him. she's the reason he has nightmares. she's the only one who can soothe him. calf love that survives amputation. she jokes about poisoning him. he kills for her honour. she lets him do whatever he wants. he kidnaps her so she will marry him. they wear matching embroidery. she cried on their wedding night. he saved her from her fate. she saved him from his fate. he didn't marry her to become king. he became king because he wanted to marry her. they're both just two lonely kids. the gods themselves have been rooting for them.

the queen of attolia is like, what if gods loved you. what if they had plans for you, and they stepped down the earth just for you. what if they knew you better than you do, and even intervened personally to make sure you fail, twice, just so you would become the man you actually needed to be. what if you didn't want them to actually reply to you. what if their regard on your mortal life was a burden too much to bear
