Far away in the kingdom of LiLindale, on the outskirt of the border a boy named Elijah tended to the farm with his mother. He was a brilliant boy, kind as well but he had a bit of a problem. He had severe social anxiety but in that point of time it wasn't known about. Whenever he would speak, his throat would feel as if he ate a bunch of thorns and tightened around them. He could talk to his mother well and even sing to the animals, but when it came to another person talking to him he could never reply. That's why it all goes downhill when a certain prince finds himself to the village mute.

Cross the stars with me

I'm a textbook pessimist and I like it just the way it is. Eynal is a highborn boy who has whatever he could need to be happy but his outlook on life plagues him at every turn, obsessed by the notion that existence is entirely pointless living in his own world void of anything remotely positive he turns a blind eye to anything that is expected of him, but forces beyond him thrust an entirely new situation upon him that he fails to navigate with his usual indifference will he adapt and change as expected? or will he find a way to cast it aside as he always has. This story is based around medieval fantasy with some inspiration from the classics (Lotr, GOT) it will navigate the personal lives of two characters who are polar opposites and an increasingly fragile political situation in the world they live in *this is my first time ever writing something so if i suck please dont bully me XD*Complete

Melodies Of The Heart
Gabriel Whitmore has spent his life in the shadow of his family's immense wealth and influence, trapped by their overprotective control. As a quiet introvert with a love for music, he dreams of a life where he's free to be himself, away from the suffocating expectations tied to his last name. When he convinces his parents to let him live alone in a modest flat, he's determined to embrace a life of silence and independence. But peace is the last thing he gets when Elijah Montgomery, a charming, loud, and relentlessly extroverted heir to another wealthy family, stumbles into his life. Everything about Elijah irritates Gabriel-his love for parties, his chaotic group of friends, and his audacious personality that refuses to respect personal boundaries. Yet, despite their clashing personalities, Elijah becomes inexplicably drawn to Gabriel's quiet, stubborn nature. As the two navigate their differences, Gabriel's world begins to shift. Elijah pushes him out of his comfort zone, encouraging him to share his passion for music while challenging his fears of vulnerability. At the same time, Elijah starts to confront his own insecurities-his possessiveness, the pressures of living up to his family's legacy, and his growing fear of losing the one person who truly sees him for who he is. Together, they face challenges that test their growing bond: the suffocating expectations of wealth, misunderstandings that threaten to tear them apart, and the struggle of balancing independence with intimacy. Slowly but surely, Gabriel and Elijah learn that love isn't about perfection but about building a foundation strong enough to weather life's storms. ---
