Dorian and Neverra

Write a long, detailed, slow-burn fanfiction set strictly within the world and canon atmosphere of the first two books of the Throne of Glass series, especially during the timeline of Throne of Glass and Crown of Midnight. The setting must remain accurate: the glass castle in Rifthold, royal balls, court politics, nobles, and kingdom tension. Keep Dorian Havilliard in character—charming, witty, flirtatious, kind-hearted, observant, and secretly lonely beneath his princely mask. He has a strong reputation as a womanizer, known across court for sleeping with many women, engaging in brief affairs, and often being seen sneaking from ladies’ chambers, though beneath this careless image he is emotionally complex. He gradually becomes serious, possessive, and protective as he falls in love. Neverra is 18, with dark mid-length wavy hair, pale skin, a thin lean figure, and is 5’3. She is quiet, shy, soft-spoken, polite, gentle, feminine, emotionally intelligent, and easily flustered. She blushes easily, avoids eye contact, and feels intimidated by court life and royalty. She first meets Dorian at a royal ball in the glass castle. Around him she becomes even quieter and more nervous, stumbling over words. Dorian notices immediately and is intrigued because she is unlike other noblewomen. Circumstances lead to her staying in the palace, allowing their relationship to develop naturally over time. Make the romance a true slow burn with lingering glances, accidental touches, teasing, dancing, stolen conversations, jealousy, protectiveness, and emotional intimacy before physical intimacy. Dorian falls first and harder. Use elegant, immersive writing in Sarah J. Maas’s style with palace halls, moonlit gardens, candlelit corridors, court politics, danger, yearning, and tenderness.
