Story title is taken from the lyrics of the song "delicate" by Taylor Swift ;)

Foreword/Teaser:

She's never really thought about what she would do once she was rescued. Actually no. She has. The plan has always been to break the curse with a kiss after escaping with her prince. But somehow, a deformed elf shows up in her tower, along with his non-stop talking donkey and unconventional way of dealing with things. Such as cracking nonsensical jokes and throwing her unceremoniously over his shoulder.

Warnings:

1. Slight racism/colorism

2.Yeah...that's all?

3. Oh yeah, and really mean parents/family ig?

Author's Note:

I'm taking part in the milky wave writing contest held by @callmesabby! Do check out the other stories in this contest and please anticipate this one! Thanks, lovely readers x

I’d like to say a huge thank you to my beta who I’ll call E! And also to my good friend and unofficial beta-reader Yuzhou (aka Glimmer01) who has helped me through everything!

She’s pulled me through all of my writers blocks and helped me whenever I was stuck and most importantly kept me going, even if she doesn’t know it. Low key dedicating this work to her even if its not something she’d usually read and even though she’s already had a sneak peak. So once again, thank you for everything’s yuzhou and also E! Even though I know you’ve been busy with finals! ;)

Also, just a warning to my readers that this fic is a little unorthodox and it’s loosely based on my experience with a friend of mine from a few years back, so the romance is very toned down as I wanted to focus more on the characters and their development as well as highlighting their flaws and strengths.
