Declan lives in a world split between 'Daylighters' who live during the day and 'Nocturnals' who live at night. Declan is an unlucky Nocturnal. Son of a powerful navy commander, child of a terminally ill mother, brother to a high school dropout and best friend to a suicidal Nocturnal rebel, Declan's choices carry dire consequences. It doesn't help that he's in love with a Daylighter who has secrets as dark as her eyes. Who will he save - his family, his city, or the woman he loves?

My Demon Boyfriend | MM Romance✔️ by r_h_rose
47 parts Complete Mature
Breaking into his reclusive neighbor's backyard wasn't Aidan's best idea-but he never expected to find a man chained to a tree like a beast. Grey-eyed and starved, the stranger is hauntingly beautiful... and dangerously inhuman. Because he isn't a man at all. He's something more sinister. Now, Aidan is tangled in a web of secrets darker than he ever imagined. Trapped between a creature who craves him and a world that would never believe the truth, Aidan has two choices: run while he still can or risk everything for the monster who might just be more than he seems. 🔥 Tropes: Forced proximity, monster romance, touch-starved supernatural being, forbidden attraction, reluctant caretaker, found family.

56 parts Ongoing
Beneath the roots lies a realm unspoken, where shadows breathe and rivers run black. A single step too far unravels the veil between worlds, turning play into curse, and innocence into exile. Beyond the roots, the air itself conspires, forests whisper of forgotten kings, and demons walk as both beasts and men. Yet above that abyss rises a kingdom of warmth, a fragile jewel cradled in sunlight. Its streets awaken each dawn in a riot of color: banners ripple, stalls spill with fruit and cloth, and fountains laugh with crystal spray. Children dart through blooming gardens, their laughter ringing louder than bells, while elders sit beneath arching roots, telling stories of brighter days. Here, joy is stitched into life itself. The baker greets with sugared bread, the blacksmith's hammer sings with the town musicians, and couples dance when lanterns glow like fallen stars. Festivals turn nights into oceans of song, where drums thunder and torches paint the sky in fire and gold. In this place, hope does not hide-it parades, it feasts, it laughs. The people call their home a sanctuary, untouched by sorrow, where each day begins with promise and ends in peace. To live here is to believe, if only for a moment, that darkness is nothing more than a distant dream. But beneath their feet, the roots stretch into silence. For every blossom hides its shadow, and every feast masks a silence that waits. The kingdom may be a cradle of joy, but its foundation drinks from the same soil where nightmares stir. Here, survival is no gift. Every choice is a bargain, every path a trial. What seems human may wear another face, and what seems monstrous may hold a broken heart. Secrets buried for centuries stir in the soil, twisting destiny tighter with every breath. This is not a tale of crowns or kingdoms, but of a world where light is fragile, where hope withers, and where even the roots that bind the earth tremble before what waits below.

Can you unravel the truth before anyone else? - "Are you gonna keep those lips shut for me, Princess? Or am I gonna have to make you?" He whispered tauntingly, leaning in closer to breathe cynically and I could practically hear amusement in his tone. I say nothing. Attempting to control my breathing and not break into deeper panic as my lips stayed sealed with his touch on them, slowly dragging the sensation down over my chin where he continued to smear the crimson blood. "C'mon, I know you're itching to talk back... or have I finally silenced you, hm?" He chuckled through his taunting. "Tell me Princess... are we gonna have a problem?" Slowly, I shook my head from side to side. It caused him to squeeze my chin, all of his fingertips now on me staining the imprint of his touch onto my face. He shifted his touch south, cupping the side of my neck and I squirmed against the wall at the feeling of his handprint on a sensitive area, his head moved away from my opposing ear to look down at me once again. "This is our little secret, yeah? I wouldn't want you to be the next one tied to that chair with your blood splattered on the floor." - Started: March 2024 Finished:
