This is your Romantasy Realms: Fae Love After Dark podcast.
Welcome to Romantasy Realms: Fae Love After Dark. I'm your host Jaden, and tonight I have a spellbinding tale that will make your heart race and your imagination soar. Get comfortable, dim the lights, and let me tell you about "The Midnight Capture."
Clara Matthews never meant to trap a Fae prince in her camera lens. She was just trying to photograph the mysterious lights that had been appearing in Blackwood Forest at midnight. But when she checked her digital display and saw those otherworldly silver eyes staring back at her, she knew her life would never be the same.
Prince Thorne of the Dark Court was furious. For centuries, the Fae had carefully guarded against being captured by mortal technology, knowing it could bind them to the human realm. Yet here he stood, tethered to this fascinating human with her wild copper curls and defiant green eyes.
"You've bound us together, little photographer," he said, his voice like midnight velvet. "The only way to break it is to enter into a bargain."
Clara knew better than to trust a Fae prince, especially one from the Dark Court. But when he offered to show her the hidden realm of Faerie in exchange for destroying the photo, she couldn't resist. What she didn't expect was the electric tension between them, the way his presence made her skin hum with magic.
The bargain seemed simple: she would have one month to document the Dark Court through her lens, creating an archive of Fae life never before seen by mortal eyes. In return, she would delete the binding photo. But there was a catch – every kiss they shared would subtract one year from her mortal life.
As Clara navigated the treacherous politics of the Dark Court, she discovered plots within plots. Queen Mab, Thorne's mother, saw their connection as an opportunity to strengthen the court's power. Rival nobles whispered of prophecies about a mortal who would either save or destroy the Dark Court through the power of captured light.
Each night, Clara found herself drawn deeper into Thorne's world. He taught her to dance on moonbeams, showed her gardens where flowers sang lullabies, and protected her from courtiers who saw her as nothing more than a human plaything. And despite knowing the cost, their kisses became more frequent, more desperate.
"Seven years," he whispered against her lips one night. "That's how much of your life you've given me. Is it worth it?"
"Every second," she replied, even as she felt the years slip away.
But what Clara didn't know was that Thorne was keeping a secret. The real reason he'd allowed himself to be photographed that night. There was an ancient prophecy about a mortal artist who would capture the soul of the Dark Court, bringing either its salvation or destruction. And as Clara's exhibition opening drew near, the truth would change everything.
My dear listeners, I'll leave you here for now, wondering whether love can bridge the gap between mortal and immortal, whether Clara's photographs will save or doom the Dark Court, and if Thorne will choose power over love. Join me next week to discover if their forbidden romance will cost Clara more than just years of her life.
Until then, this is Jaden, reminding you that sometimes the most dangerous magic isn't found in spells or bargains, but in the way two hearts can become hopelessly entangled in the dark.
Sweet dreams, and may the Fae watch over your midnight adventures.
