Red Flags Romantasy - Fae & Humans (WIP) (4k words)

They’re handsome, they’re rich, they’re red flags maddeningly in love with you.

Loosely inspired by Wuthering Heights and the Romantasy genre, you can play as either a straight female or a gay male in this story about obsessive love. There’s no fear of having to romance them, because they’re romancing you!

Set in the realm of the fae, you grew up as the fae-child of a duke, raised in a lonely castle. Your only friends were a scorned prince, and a naughty fae-child your father picked up off the road. You’re eighteen when your brother promises your hand to a duke you’ve never met, setting off this chain of events that’ll lead you to romance or despair.

They’re manipulative, cruel, jealous, controlling, codependent, the list goes on. But at the end of the day this is a love story, right?

—RO’s—

Clement Bellerose, the scorned prince. Hated by everyone around him since birth, you were his only comfort. He was stricken with illness in childhood, and you haven’t seen him in years.

Heath Corbeau, the ill-tempered, ill-natured, fae-child your father picked up off the road. Abandoned by his parents, why does he seek to become them?

Dorian Faintree, a regular human by all counts. His grandfather hunted fae, and he has taken up the mantle. But wait! There’s war on the horizon.

—Warnings, may change later.—

SFW with some mild violence. If you can read Wuthering Heights, you can read this.

Reading this was a trip. I feel like spacing things out and slowing down the pacing would be really good for this story. It’s just that I had no idea who these guys are and they already want me and I already have decisions to make that I felt like I hadn’t had enough information to make. But it was pretty fun to read.

Is it bad that I thought that Heath and Clement are absolutely repulsive? On the flip side, am I insane to think that Dorian is hot for threatening me?

Does this mean everyone in the story is mentally deranged and insane including the MC or its just the main cast?
Anyway, I’ll be catherine and make terrible decision along with multiple misunderstanding that could only be fixed if we actually talk frfr

You can play the MC just as if not more deranged than the rest, or be the only rational one in the room!
