My name is Uta. I am a secret Princess of Clarines. I was told at a young age by my half older brother, Prince Izana, that I would never shine because I was never meant to be born into this. I was going to show everyone I could shine. But I never knew how to really shine till the day Zen and I meet Shirayuki and Obi. (Slow Updates)

A modern-day Cinderella set in the 21st century. Shirakyuki finds herself living the same life as her favorite princess. Will she find her prince charming?

This feels like the stuff that fairytales are made of. *Written for ANS Food Week 2024, Day Seven.*

Shirayuki is allowed so much into the confidence and the trust of the Royal Family, that she even is invited to their private celebration of Sunday Mass. *Written for ANS Food Week 2024, Day Six.*

Being sent away so quickly surprisingly didn't make this place feel terribly isolating to call a temporary home. *Written for ANS Food Week 2024, Day Five.*

Obi and Zen enjoy a bottle of wine together. *Written for ANS Food Week 2024, Day Four.*

Shirayuki and Zen enjoy a moment together cooking dinner. *Written for ANS Food Week 2024, Day Three.*

Shirayuki's working on a project to surprise her husband with when he comes out to find her. *Written for ANS Food Week 2024, Day Two.*

It's not often that Kiki and Mitsuhide end up having the chance to cook together. *Written for ANS Food Week 2024, Day One.*

Of all places, either of them expected to be, here was not one of them.

Kiki's dress is elegant and beautiful, fit for her, though she has just one complaint at its extravagance. *A late fill to HisaKiki Week 2023, Day Six, filling one of the prompts from that day.*

Today is the day finally, and Zen is more than a little nervous about it.

She is like a love letter written to his heart. *Fanpoem.*

His wife smells of flowers in bloom. *Fanpoem.*

Kiki looks like the noblewoman she is tonight, and that steals Mitsuhide's breath away in just the same kind of way that his breath is stolen when she wins a practice match.

Obi witnesses what feels almost like a private moment, a couple happily together on the dance floor.

They needed a bit of a break, and the opportunity was too perfect to miss. *Written for HisaKiki Week 2023, Day Seven, filling two of today's prompts.*

Hisame isn't sure he knows how to breathe anymore. *Written for HisaKiki Week 2023, Day Six, filling one of today's prompts.*

Somehow it seems like there's nothing that Kiki can't do well. *Written for HisaKiki Week 2023, Day Five, filling one of today's prompts.*

Perhaps the winner isn't just the one who wins the duel. *Written for HisaKiki Week 2023, Day Four, filling one of today's prompts.*

When that old shame pops up, Hisame doesn't expect the forgiveness he receives from Kiki. *Written for HisaKiki Week 2023, Day Three, filling one of today's prompts.*

Somehow ten seconds leads to what feels like the loss of time. *Written for HisaKiki Week 2023, Day Two, filling one of today's prompts.*

Somehow, they are now closer than what they used to be, and it is so warm here. *Written for HisaKiki Week 2023, Day One, filling one of today's prompts.*

Not to be left alone, but to be emboldened to be a companion. *Fanpoem.*

Soon things will be different.
