Summary
"Maxi," he repeated, softly, as if her name were a flower he held in his mouth, and a smile bloomed across his face. Maxi flushed. She had noticed him countlessly across the courtyard as he cut through the engineering department to get to the gym, the stadium, always with his entourage in tow, but she had never seen him smile, not once, and was surprised to see that he had dimples. The unexpected expression had changed his face entirely. Before, Riftan had seemed, while handsome, downright terrifying, but now, he looked boyish, innocent, and the realization sent flutters down Maxi's spine. "That's a pretty name."

Modern AU at ~Wedon University~. Maxi and Nornui crowd are engineering students studying robotics/AI and Riftan plays on the Wedon Dragons (lol) basketball team as a scholarship student with the other knights. Dynamics will be more/less the same, though subject to the whims of my otome isekai fever dreams.
I'm writing this for myself to cope with my book hangover, but in case anyone's interested: updates will be sporadic and when I'm procrastinating on my grad school thesis. (´-﹏-`；). FYI, some ships aren't tagged for spoiler reasons ~

Summary
Her hands trembled in her lap, the tavern floor cold and hard against her knees as tears slipped, unbidden, down her cheeks. How could she face him again? After everything she’d done. The lie of her death. The child she lost. She would rather die a thousand more quiet deaths than confess what had transpired in the years since, what she’d had done just to survive. Let him remember me as that frail girl in the duchy, she thought. Let him believe I was innocent, and kind, and lovely. Because she was none of those things anymore.

OR: Maxi gets pregnant after that one wedding night and bribes her way to Anatol. After suffering a miscarriage en route, she starts a new life in the village outskirts~
