The four Sultanates stood divided not by borders, but by silence. A silence heavy with old betrayals, unspoken grudges, and a war that never needed swords to draw blood. Among them, Zarqaan and Rawaan remained locked in a conflict that never reached the battlefield-only thrones, councils, and whispered orders that shaped the fate of nations. No one declared war. But everyone lived inside one. And then came the engagement. A gathering meant to secure alliances with Mehrabad, a court of wealth and diplomacy, where Princess Zahira Rawaan was promised to Prince Aariz Mehrabad-a union that carried the weight of politics, yet was softened by something rarer in such worlds... affection. For she did not hate him. She was still bound to a future decided long before her heart was ever asked for permission. Until he arrived. Sultan Zavian Zarqaan. No announcement followed his presence. No warning preceded his gaze. Yet the moment he arrived within the boundaries of the engagement gathering, something in the balance of power shifted quietly... irrevocably. And then-just for a moment he saw her. A glimpse. From a distant balcony, half-veiled in silk and shadow, where light broke softly against the latticework, revealing nothing fully... yet enough to change everything. That was all it took. For politics to blur. For reason to falter. And for something far more dangerous than war to begin its quiet rise. What followed was not chaos in the open-but something far more calculated. A proposal disguised as diplomacy. A threat wrapped in mercy. A deal delivered at the edge of silence. Sultan Zavian Zarqaan did not ask for permission. He offered Rawaan a choice. Marriage. Or ruin. A union bound by law, sealed by survival-where Rawaan would retain its throne under his "protection," and pay its yearly tribute as the price of peace. But everyone understood the truth beneath the terms. This was not protection. This was claim. And in a world where crowns are never surrendered willingly!

It burns hotter every time she's near, tearing him apart while forcing him to protect the one person he should never touch. Dragons are waking after centuries of silence. People long dead are stepping out of the past as if time itself has split open. Ancient magic is choosing sides, and Kael's curse is growing stronger... and deadlier. Aeralyn is the light the prophecy demands. Kael is the shadow it fears. And if shadow ever reaches for light... It might save the world. Or burn it to ash.

Would they survive playing the game until they refuse to cut it until it turns golden? Fate doesn't care if it's a good match. And destiny loves to play with fire. --------------- {Under the Same Roof RIP} -Hey, Rou here. I want to clarify that this story was born from MXTX's novels TGCF and MDZS. After reading Dustin Thao's books, I gave danmei a try. They are life changing... literally. Damn Red String only took inspiration from the dynamics but most of the elements in my story are from my own experiences/organic ideas.

You were beautiful. Arms reaching beyond the clouds. The world believed nothing could surpass mankind while you still stood. They believed they could build hands tall enough to touch divinity We mistook your hands for defiance. They survived long enough To witness its creation, outlive their creator

In the forgotten coastal village of Aokawa, two thirteen-year-old twin brothers live a quiet life beside the sea with their mother. Haru and Ren appear ordinary to most people, helping merchants, carrying supplies through narrow stone streets, and surviving each season in their small wooden home near the cliffs. But the wind follows them. Storms gather when their emotions rise. Strange dreams haunt their sleep. And whispers spread through the village about the twins born beneath cursed skies. Unknown to the brothers, they are the children of a forbidden union between Earth and the Heavenly Sanction, an ancient realm above the mortal world. Long ago, their mother performed a forbidden ritual that bound their souls together forever, making them impossible to separate and nearly impossible to destroy. As forgotten prophecies awaken and celestial forces descend from the heavens, the twins begin uncovering the terrifying truth behind their existence: They were never meant to save the world. They were born to become its storm.

In a world separated by powerful villages, dangerous creatures, and warriors who fight beside mysterious beasts, a young boy named Naydawn dreams of one day becoming the legendary Honor Fighter - the greatest title a warrior can achieve. After leaving his quiet village and entering a world filled with powerful rivals, hidden dangers, and ancient legends, Naydawn begins discovering strange powers connected to a forgotten past the world fears to speak about. As conflict rises between the villages and dark forces begin moving once again, Naden and his friends are pulled into a mystery tied to an ancient warrior known only as Averyan - a name remembered through fear, destruction, and legend. Now, Naydawn must survive a world where history may not be what it seems, and where the line between hero and monster grows thinner with every battle.

A fairy-tale-esque short story, which deliberately adopts folklore-like writing, using personified cosmic forces to explore love as mutual illumination rather than possession. No placement, but this tale has gotten a 95/100 in the Triquetra Awards Short Story category!

They say the desert forgets everything. But this time... it remembers. In a world where names are more dangerous than blades and silence hides ancient empires beneath the sand, a cursed bloodline wanders without rest-doomed to search for something that was never meant to be found. Salem Al-Noor has spent his life running from whispers he cannot silence and a mark that moves beneath his skin like it is alive. He believes the desert is empty. Until it starts calling him by name. Then he meets Arezou Varesh, a girl who does not see the world as it is-but as it truly is. She can see the hidden names of things... even the ones that should not exist. Even his. When their paths collide, the sand begins to move like a living memory, and something buried beneath reality starts to awaken. A lost city stirs beneath the dunes. An ancient force known only as The First Word begins to echo through the world again. And the deeper they go, the more terrifying the truth becomes: The First Word was not meant to be discovered. It was meant to stay buried... with everything it imprisoned. Some truths don't reveal the world. They rewrite it.

That someone would deceive the very people they once called their own? What really happened the night the sky-touching palace of Haneulseong was extinguished overnight? What ritual was performed behind sealed doors while the kingdom slept? And when vows turned into weapons... Who was the victim - and who was the architect? Most importantly- What is her weakness? Because once you discover that... You will understand why some truths were never meant to survive.
