There was only one thing left for Nicolas to do: step into a role he had never meant to fill. A role thrust upon him, whether he was ready or not. As he stood on the edge of his new life, he'd never felt more himself, more powerful-and more terrified. In one moment, he would shed his past, leave behind his fears, and become the man the world needed him to be-the one who would end the divide and unite the kingdoms. Or so he hoped. For years, Nicolas had buried the truth of who he was. He had conformed to expectations-a king who never faltered, a good Catholic, a man of the people. But the man he truly was, the man he had long hidden, didn't fit into that mold. A short gay man who relied on knowledge rather than the blade of the sword in a world that demanded strength, masculinity, and tradition from its rulers was a far cry from the church's image of a king. Faced with the confirmation of his role, the expectation to marry and produce heirs seemed almost more terrifying than the war looming on the horizon. But what truly crushed him was turning his back on his relationship with the man he loved in favor of one that would satisfy the court. With battle closing in and the kingdom looking to him for answers, one wrong move could destroy everything he had worked to protect. The enemies were not only at the gates-they were in his court, watching for any sign of weakness. Yet, as the pressure of leadership mounted, Nicolas realized that the greatest threat he faced was not the war but the truth of who he was.

Everything they've been through, every challenge they've faced, has led them to this moment. But the world hasn't made it easy. It has tried relentlessly to tear them apart, pushing them to the brink of despair. And when they can finally be together, the world seems ready to implode with a whole new set of issues. The future looks bleak, but at least they can be together. Time to prepare for the future they've both longed for, despite the chaos that surrounds them. Only the enemy they face is far more terrifying than a botched marriage or the looming invasion of an empire. The actual threat they're about to confront is darker, more insidious-an enemy beyond armies and politics. A blast from the past, Nicolas and Verando aren't the only ones who've traveled through time. And yet, at the heart of it all, their love remains their most potent weapon. Nicolas and Verando have fought for each other from the beginning, their bond growing stronger with every battle. Despite the forces that conspire to tear them apart, they've remained each other's anchor, their love a constant amidst the storm. It's a fight for everything they hold dear, for the chance to live and love freely and finally unite in a way no one can tear apart.

When unrelenting darkness swallows the country you love, and the people you swore to protect are slaughtered, what's left to fight for? The answer is simple-each other. Nicolas and his followers are forced into a final push to end this nightmare, but their resolve is shattered when Nicolas is captured. He is torn apart, both physically and mentally, pushed to the very edge of his sanity. The torture he endures is cruel and unrelenting, not just in the body but in the mind. The pain is overwhelming, but the worst wounds are those that dig into his soul-doubts planted, fears twisted, and the haunting whispers that claw at his thoughts. Every ounce of strength he has left is tested, and his mind might break under the weight of it all. Yet, even as his spirit is crushed, he clings to the only thing that keeps him from fully unraveling-the ones he loves, the promise to end this torment, and the undeniable will to survive. But as the mental torture intensifies, so does the pressure to make the most challenging choices of his life. Now, with the help of his followers, he must push past the shattered remnants of his mind and body, overcome impossible odds, and face the twisted mastermind who has tormented them from the start-the one who has caused all this destruction. There will be no mercy. The time for hesitation has passed. There is no more survival-it's them or us. The final confrontation is upon them, but is it truly the end? Or is it merely the beginning of something even darker, more twisted than they can comprehend? "Nothing is as it appears."

Ending a war doesn't often mean immediate peace for there are always those who wish for things to return to the way they were. History is written by the victors, we don't often ask what became of those who lost. With the world restored, there are plentiful places to hide. What do you do when everyone is counting on you and you, yourself, need the help? Now a magical mute, Nicolas must navigate the difficult trials of trying to have the family he always wanted and serving his country as he was destined to do. Rebels, enemy troops and lost souls wait in the wings for an opportunity to throw the world back into chaos once more while Verando wants to move their family out of the limelight and into a quieter lifestyle. Tasked by a god to hunt down Fenrir, the devourer, there is little time to breathe and no chance of rest. The question remains, how long can a family wait? What is more important? With the threat of being consumed by the very being hiding inside, for Nicolas, the War of Self Salvation has only just begun.

I can barely sleep most nights and often have nightmares that leave me drenched in sweat. My life is just plainly pathetic until I meet one certain student's older brother. My name is Anthony, I am twenty-nine and I am going to tell you how I submitted to the love of my life. I am a Dominant.

I thought I had found the perfect Submissive but he left me, feeling too oppressed under my dominance - I admit I am excessively strict - so I am still searching for this special someone until I meet my little brother's math teacher. My name is Ethan, I am thirty and I am going to tell you how I subdued the love of my life.
