Maria Campbell remembers an old life. A life bathed in blood. A fishing hamlet. A research hall of many floors and many patients. And a stranger who insisted on corpse-fishing... AKA, that fic where a grimdark DLC boss is reincarnated in fluffy otome-land and still acts like she's in a FromSoftware game. (Bloodborne/Hamefura post-Dark Souls setting crossover)

You know the drill, react fic yada-yada-yada. I am making my own spin to this as much as possible not looking like a complete rip-off, so if any similarities between other fics is seen here, it is not intentional. Updates whenever, may periodically go into hiatus at times. Don't expect that much.

She just want to be normal.

"You'll hurt your neck if you sleep like that." "Mmm."

She loved it. Does she?

Lady Katarina Claes is top of her class. Well, third best, after the two princes in her year. Fuelled by intense rivalry with Prince Alan, they make a bet. He might not be able to deliver on it if it comes due, though.

The SI thinks that he is a mob character in an otome anime. The reincarnated villainess thinks that he's a death flag walking among all the others. The reincarnated villainess's harem think he's out to get the reincarnated villainess romantically.

Maria Campbell and Catarina Claes go shopping and find a pair of beautiful dresses, perfect for an upcoming party.

The Emperor of Sorcier recieves the nobility for his coronation. They bring gifts for his reign, but he wants something else.

Después de que Catarina fallece, Geordo guarda sus cartas y diarios como recuerdos en una caja. Pronto, se convierten en grilletes de su supuesta perfección.

Geordo is done with hoping and tries to shake up his middling engagement with Catarina. She argues back.

Katarina and Keith have been kidnapped, and the perpetrators demand that their parents make an impossible choice.

During the practical exam, Katarina and Gerald get separated from their group and end up trapped in a pit. While waiting to be rescued, Gerald takes the opportunity to tell Katarina how he feels about her. Canon Divergent from Episode 7 of Season 1. Slow Burn, GeoKata Endgame

Katarina is leaving for her wedding. Keith says his goodbyes.

Keith está preocupado por su idoneidad para la paternidad. Katarina trata de poner todo en perspectiva.

Keith does not understand why his sister struggles so much, but he always goes to her when she needs it.

Katarina thought she finally reached her true friendship ending, but things keep changing! Keith is now estranged from her, and as graduation slowly approaches so does her betrothal with Geordo. She needs her brother now more than ever and she'll do anything to fix things. Keith needs her too; but he has no intention of letting things go back to how it was before. KxK, KxG, KxKxG.

She's tired.

She is broken.

On a rambunctious winter day, Keith considers his love for Catarina.

I am the happy-go-lucky villainess, Katarina Claes. My friends and family loves me regardless if I am the villainess or if I were out of the norm from the usual nobles, right? It seems I somehow made everyone's burden heavier, especially my family. This is the story of how I break, shattered. Will there be a happy ending for a villainess like me? I doubt that will ever happen.

Geordo is not a great man, but he is at least decent. Maybe. Sometimes. He has been failing his wife lately.

AU. Katarina is not allowed to be in Student Council's room, so she wandered around the Academy alone. And then, she met two new friends.

Katarina is kidnapped and sold. I'm still working out the plot so I will update this summary once I know where this story is going. This is Katarina/Geordo but it is not a focal point of the story and probably won't come up that much.

The windows at the Academy dorms are awfully close to one another. Just close enough to see what happens inside them.
