Fan CastingWhat If It's Us? (Black Butler Fanfic)

In the shadowed grandeur of Victorian England, the Phantomhive and Harcourt families are locked in an unyielding feud—a rivalry steeped in blood, power, and betrayal. Their heirs, Ciel Phantomhive and Joanne Harcourt, are sworn enemies by birth but find themselves entangled in a bond neither of them can deny. When Ciel infiltrates a Harcourt masquerade ball under false pretenses, fate brings him face-to-face with Joanne. A fleeting kiss ignites a dangerous, forbidden love that threatens to unravel the fragile threads of loyalty binding them to their warring families. As their secret meetings deepen into something far more profound, both young men must grapple with their identities, desires, and the terrifying realization that they cannot live without each other. But they are not the only ones harboring dangerous secrets. Joanne's fiancée, Anne Frandins, is secretly in love with Elizabeth Midford, who will risk everything for a chance at happiness. Edward Midford hides a growing infatuation with Cheslock, Joanne’s fiercely loyal cousin. Amidst the intricate web of love, lies, and betrayal, every decision pushes them closer to disaster. Ciel’s reckless determination to defy his family’s legacy leads him to a bold decision: he will marry Joanne, no matter the cost. But with Duke Harcourt tightening his grip on Joanne’s fate and Sebastian Michaelis maneuvering in the shadows, their love faces impossible odds.
