"A Princess to your kingdom before A Principal to your stage."

Mai, Princess Royal and first of twelve daughters has only two priorities. 
Her family and her dance - and sadly her dance can never come before her family. 

Because of this, despite her talent, Mai has never had the chance to preform to her fullest. 
Until the winter celebrations arise and the great artists come to town. 
Among them is The Black Rabbit, a trickster and enchanter who offers her the chance to take the stage without risking her position.

He just has one small request for her in return.

She just has to dance for someone.

The King and the War Dancer by TONYANN

A not-so-nice fairytale where Prince Charming is actually a ruthless king and the princess-in-distress isn't really a princess, more of a dancer to die for...literally. A fairytale isn't always rainbows and giggles when the "star-crossed" lovers are anything but falling in love at first sight. They both have an agenda, and killing each other is part of it.

Ballet by dancingbunny14

Just a little bit about ballet. This story follows my life and my meager ballet career. It's a bit random and some info about ballet from my perspective. If you would like for me to write a part about something in particular, just comment and I will. Enjoy! Thanks to @girl_who_reads for designing my cover, it's so awesome!! ~Mia

Dark academia/royal core short stories each with links to the playlists that inspired them! He swept me out to the dance floor, placing his hand on the small of my back. I positioned my arm on his shoulder, reluctantly placing my other hand in his. The small skin-to-skin contact made my hand burn up and I felt like fleeing. The music began and we started to twirl around the ballroom. "My father wants you dead, you know." I reminded him. "Is that why you have come tonight?" He chuckled, "killing me will take much more than you, cruel beauty." "I wouldn't underestimate me. You know what happened before." "I certainly remember how it ended." He smirked, and I spun, slamming my heel into his foot, resulting in a stifled grunt. "So cruel." "I won't be so sloppy this time." "No, you won't." He said coolly, "But you aren't the only one with an agenda tonight." -A Dance With Your Enemy (full story inside!)
