Line #34 Fanfic/TheRoseAndTheCrown


1	-> Cinderella weds her handsome prince and takes her place as a princess. But enemies circle around her, unable to bear the prospect of a maid upon the throne. And the false friends and flatterers who fill her ears with their poison might be even worse. Can Cinderella rise above those who think her foolish and insipid to win the hearts of an uncertain nation?

16	%%* DeadpanSnarker: Angelique
17	* EverythingsSparklyWithJewelry: Part of the CostumePorn surrounding Cinderella's outfits
18	%%* HighClassGloves: Often accompany Cinderella's fancier outfits.

28	[[folder:Tropes That Apply to ''Sunset in a Gilded Frame'']]
29	%%* BoomHeadshot: Eleanor takes care of Kilpatrick with one of these.
30	* BreakTheCutie: The unexpected demands of her new royal status are doing this to Cinderella. Kilpatrick's 'wooing' takes the cake.
31	* DeadFic: The story was cancelled.
32	* HeroicFireRescue: Etienne rescues Cinderella from a burning stable.
33	* MoreExpendableThanYou: Etienne punches Eugene to prevent him rushing into a burning stable to save Cinderella, before rushing in himself, because of this trope
34	* PinballProtagonist: Cinderella spends most of the fic being acted on by others
35	* PoliticallyActivePrincess: Princess Eleanor of Anjou, who acts as her country's ambassador during their war with the UsefulNotes/HolyRomanEmpire
36	* PutOnABus: The street orphans, apart from Jean and Angelique, disappear soon after their introduction; this is why they were adapted out of the reboot.
37	* StalkerWithACrush: Wolfe Kilpatrick, who pursues Cinderella in spite of the fact that she makes clear that she can't stand him.
38	[[/folder]]
39
40	[[folder:Tropes That Apply to ''The Rose and the Crown'']]
41	* AdaptedOut: Wolfe Kilpatrick has yet to appear; ditto for the street orphans, apart from Jean and Angelique

43	* BackFromTheDead: [[spoiler:The witches bring Katherine back as part of a plan to get Eugene and Cinderella's daughters]].
44	* BitchInSheepsClothing: Serena and Grace, who pretend to be Cinderella's friends and confidantes all the while plotting against her.
45	* BullyingADragon: Theodora attempts to dominate Cinderella through threats and abuse the way her WickedStepmother had done; [[TooDumbToLive surprisingly]] this works less well against a princess than a powerless child or servant girl.
46	* ContinuityReboot: The story is a rewrite of the original story.
47	* DamselInDistress: Cinderella is largely incapable of saving herself from physical jeopardy, and relies on Jean to save her life from various attempts on her life.
48	* DeclarationOfProtection: Jean gives one to Cinderella [[spoiler: after foiling the second attempt on her life]].
49	* DistinctionWithoutADifference: In Chapter 24 of "The Realm's Delight", Cinderella says she doesn't hate the King. She fears him. He doesn't see a difference.
50	* EvilIsPetty: Frederica's father, the King of Normandie, decides to have Cinderella killed to punish her for 'beating' his daughter. It's made clear that this isn't a case of IfICantHaveYou but an act of pure spite.
51	* FlowersOfRomance: Lucien gives Cinderella a bouquet of thirteen roses, indicating a secret admirer (the colours of the individual roses vary, but all have some romantic connotation). Despite the jaw-dropping lack of subtlety, Cinderella remains [[ObliviousToLove oblivious]] to his crush on her.
52	* FoolishSiblingResponsibleSibling: The Gerard brothers, Lucien is the foolish one and Etienne is the responsible one.
53	* GoodStepmother: Cinderella decides to be one to Eugene's illegitimate son.

55	* InsecureLoveInterest: Cinderella has been turned into this by her abusive upbringing.
56	* MaternalDeathBlameTheChild: [[spoiler:It turns out Katherine was brought back to life by the witches and, in turn, she must bring them Phlippe. When asked how she can do that to her own son, she describes him as her murderer]].
57	* MistakenForCheating: Some of Cinderella's behaviour towards Lucien (in particular him giving him large amounts of money) allow her to be plausibly accused of having an affair with him while Eugene is away.
58	* MyBelovedSmother: Madame Gerard is this to her daughter, Marinette, and to a lesser extent her elder son Etienne.
59	* ParentalFavouritism: Madame Gerard coddles the feckless Lucien, while continually expressing disappointment in the hard-working Etienne.
60	* TakingTheHeat: Etienne allows people to think he sired a bastard son so people won't find out Eugene is the father.
