Redamancy (n.) the act of loving in return.
Alexithymia (n.) inability to describe emotions verbally.
A combination of these two leads us to the tale of two boys - one, a prince; the other, his protector.
Two boys begin a new life and rediscover themselves as they move through the intricacies of the Royal Court and the evil lurking behind the shadows. As they grow older, they begin to realise that maybe all that they had hoped from life, was not what they had wanted all along.
Keith : An arrogant prince who means well. Popular with the ladies, he hopes to help his friend Kyne come out of his shell and into the bubble that is his popularity.
Kyne : A master swordsman and marksman, he was a more of a lone wolf. Protector to Keith, he is used to the prince's tendencies and advances. He refuses to be brought into the complex social hierarchy which Prince Keith seemed to dance in.
Kith and Kin is an elaborate story following the lives of these two boys, from the age of ten as they learn to live, laugh and love.

I named you heir, you named me yours
An emperor who refused to rule with blood. A prince who refused to love with restraint. Elliott Lancaster, descendant of the sun and the gentle Emperor of the Vellurian empire, has spent his life avoiding war- and his father's attempts to force him into a political marriage. After his succession, instead, he adopted an orphaned noble boy, Aiden, raising him as both heir and an unlikely companion. But their bond was never that of father and son. How could it be, when they had less than a decade between them? Aiden Lancaster, the perfect prince in court and a storm of violence on the battlefield, has waited years to prove himself. He is devoted to his adopted father- some might even say, too devoted. Still, up till now, he was restrained by Elliott's desire for peace, despite their enemies poking them again and again. But Aiden's patience had its limits- but them touching Elliott was the straw which broke the camel's back. Now unrestrained, he wages a war so brutal it shocks the empire. When Elliott awakens to find borders redrawn in blood, he must confront the terrifying truth: the boy he raised has become a conqueror, and his devotion has twisted into something far more dangerous. As rival empire schemes and the nobility whispers about their unnatural bond, Elliott faces an impossible choice: maintain his morals and risk losing Aiden or embrace the ruthless love of the man who would burn the world to protect him.

Red, White and Electric Blue
In this reimagining of Red, White & Royal Blue, Alex isn't tied to politics at all-he's the last son of a ruthless CEO and a former pop star. Following in his mother's footsteps, his star now burns bright under the stage name Wisdom. Fame, family expectations, and his own chaotic heart have always pulled him in different directions, but everything changes when he crosses paths with a prince who was never supposed to belong to him. Henry's life remains bound by tradition and duty, but when Wisdom storms into his world, glitter collides with the crown, and sparks ignite where silence once ruled. Together, they must decide what love looks like when it's caught between the weight of legacy and the freedom of being truly seen. This reimagining of Red, White & Royal Blue is part romance, part headline-making chaos, and part playlist. Each chapter pulses with music that traces Wisdom's career highs, heartbreaks, and love story-setting the tone for a journey where a pop star and a prince just might learn how to be free.

It Was Just For Fun (BoyXBoy)
Jayden was never meant to be a prince, but when he gets adopted by the king and queen, he has to prepare himself for the challenges ahead. Luckily, his personal knight, Kam, is there to help him out. Together, they will have to deal with mages, fight dragons, and face windigos. Follow them as they learn more about each other, and learn to look past their deferences to accomplish their goals and save the kingdom. Firstly, a huge thanks to my friend Sophia (@sopheyyis or @B1ashe) for drawing the cover. She is an amazing artist, go follow her on instagram and tik toc because she is the best. Warning: this is not for kids or people sensitive to triggers. I tend to write on the dark side, just so you know. There will be no smut, but there will be mentions of sex, abuse, abandonment, a little bit of swearing and this list could be updated as the story goes on. I usually don't write romance, but I want to get better at it, so here we go... About updates, I wish I could say I will be posting at least once a day but I know that won't be true because I'm currently editing my book that I am publishing this summer (2020) and this story is more of just a de-stressor (is that a word) so the grammar and writing, especially the tense (it will most likely flip between present and past tense, just pretend it is all the same) might not be perfect, but I just felt like writing it. I will publish at least once a week Now with that out of the way, I just wanna say, hope ya enjoy the story. Have a great day and keep being your amazing you!Complete
