| ManxMan | - Fantasy, Romance - Strong SEXUAL Content | A small collection of stories telling of certain events linked to the start and duration of the Peony War. Upon a continent riddled with histories of conflict, passion, romance, mystery, and so much more, we'll take a closer look at a select few whose lives were affected by the Peony War. Knights clad in armor, hopeful Princes, iron-fisted Kings, mystical beings, and lovers whose hearts longed for the end; each Script will tell a tale of its own, whether it ends in love or tragedy, the records have yet to tell. | WARNING of tragedy, mature, sexual content, and depictions of blood and death |

A bit of a sequel to 'Lover for Pay', this story follows London's brother Henry. It takes place following the events of 'What A Feeling' in the 'After Lover for Pay: Oneshots' book. If I were you, I would at least read all the Oneshots up to 'What a Feeling' and then 'A Night We Don't Remember'. Henry is happily married to his best friend, Daniel, and although they wish they spent more quality time together, they couldn't be happier with the life they've built together. When Daniel gets desperate to start a family, someone pops up in Henry's life that he never knew existed, and they've brought long forgotten emotions with them that Henry once thought locked away.

| ManxMan | - Historical Fiction - Strong SEXUAL Content | Tossed aside for his sexual preferences, a young lord is abandoned by his family. But, he isn't alone for long as a towering, rather intimidating and...handsome man happens upon him at the lowest point in his life. However, this man doesn't look upon him with judgment in his eyes. There is a sort of unspoken sympathy, and it shows itself well enough when he is swept off his feet and taken to the man's home. Untouched, unjudged and given a place to stay, this young lord will come to find he's been given a second chance. But he's afraid. Of what? (This story is based on a character introduced in 'The Beauty of Coincidence'. You don't need to read that one, but a piece of useful information would be that Edgar works for someone named Norman Ramsey, a man who has accepted that his own son is gay (he is not homophobic even though it's the 1820s, and Edgar is extremely loyal to the name of Ramsey). Enjoy!)

Before Arthur Pendragon became King, he was the son of one. The son of Uther Pendragon, a man that exiled all magick from the realm which Britain existed in. Any violation was punishable by death. A public hanging for all citizens bear witness to in order to inflict real fear in their hearts. As a child, Arthur understood and supported such a decision... but once the boy aged to become a man, he soon realizes the horrors his father was involved in to bring about the controversial peace he once sought out. The very peace that was responsible for killing thousands of Druids. Thousands of innocent lives. Arthur has finally grown to an age of true understanding, and has decided that his father's ruling must be brought to an end... a timely death... however the chaos of it all is that he now must seek out a specific druid, one that was born of those his father had killed long ago, in order to assist in his own takeover. And what's even more unfortunate is that while Arthur is betrothed to another woman... Guinevere, a woman of true virtue... he cannot shake the feelings he soon develops for a man. A Druid... a Sorcerer no less. Arthur hadn't expected the man to appear with such good looks, nor such mischief and mayhem that could rock the noble's plans of ruling over Britain as its true King.

The gods have always relied on the human race, and the human race the gods. Yet the mortal world, as time has progressed for them, has changed this dynamic considerably. Some gods have kept their titles, still basking in the worship the humans have given them under their original names. Then there were the gods who learnt to adjust, much like my family, and the names they've named claim to have adapted much like the human world. The last were gods who have faded through time. Gods no longer worshipped due to their irrelevance, or the sheer history of havoc they wreaked upon humans centuries ago, when gods could once walk the earth. Gods not worthy of being worshipped. Now the rules are different; gods cannot mingle amongst humans unless their power specifically calls for it. They can only influence the mortal world. And Zeus has found himself in some hot water these last few centuries because of this, because of his troubled past with the humans resurfacing. Think of it as society digging up some really old tweets and deciding to cancel you centuries later. But those tweets contain some of the worst atrocities known to man. Something to that effect. Somehow, he's managed to convince a concerning amount of gods that this wasn't just his fight. That it was all of ours... which I, and some other gods knew for a fact that it was not. His solution to a problem he more or less created? A do-over. Leave it to Zeus to flip the table whenever he was losing in a board game. How utterly childish.

"There comes a point where you no longer care if there's a light at the end of the tunnel or not. You're just sick of the tunnel." - Who I am doesn't matter. How I got here doesn't matter. What matters now is I'm getting help, right? That's what they tell me here. They tell me that the road to recovery feels like a terrible butt fuck, but the fact that you're on the path to begin with, is all that matters. So as I sit in this circle of fuck ups, I realize just how different I am from them. I didn't attempt suicide because my mother was a crack addict who didn't want me. My father wasn't abusive. I didn't have a sibling die in a car accident. I was never really bullied either. I attempted suicide because, for the first time in years, I thought I had found something that could make me feel again... and after not feeling much at all for far too long, perhaps I went a bit overboard
