Whilst on an illicit musical outing, he's drawn to a quiet bard named Adesh. But Ferdinand's father has ordered a series of balls to be held in order to find his son a noble suitor.
Worse, someone at the ball has more malicious intentions than marriage. Soon Ferdinand and Adesh are unwittingly following a dark trail of murder and necromancy, even as they struggle with their differences and attraction to one another.

In a world where gods bleed and mortals burn in their wars, an ancient curse begins to stir once more. Thousands of years ago, the god Azrael slaughtered his divine parents and seized eternity, only to be cursed to die by the hand of the one he loves most. His heart - long buried beneath centuries of ice and wrath - shatters when the soul of his lost lover, Kael Duval, is reborn among mortals. Now the heavens tremble. Witches whisper of prophecy. Demigods spill blood in the streets as old monsters rise from the dark. Kael, unaware of his past, becomes the target of gods, witches, and shapeshifters - each craving the divine spark within him. And in the shadows, Azrael walks among men, torn between protecting the boy he loves... and fearing the day Kael's hands will become the weapon that ends him. Between desire and destiny, salvation and ruin, their love ignites an apocalypse - a forbidden romance written in the ashes of creation itself. Because when a god loves a mortal, the world burns. ______ It's a kind of an ancient story that is very much not real, so please no hate, just please read comment and vote on each chapter.😣🍺🫕

A Drink Before Battle [MxM] ✅
General Sevei is of the firm opinion that Nobles are shady and Alchemists even shadier. Noble Alchemists are the absolute worst. He is not looking forward to partnering with one to guard the border. Upon their introduction, though, it would seem they have already met... under very intimate circumstances. Oh...,**** Set in the same world as Salvage, but we're going back in time for some Medieval sword and sorcery! This wholesome, happy-endings-all-around, smutty queer fantasy romance features an M/M main couple along with a host of supporting characters bringing some trans rep, some pan rep, some sex worker positivity, and even a straight ally who tries his darndest, bless his little puppy heart. Plenty of fluff, plenty of sexy times, a few funny bits, and our gang do all make it through the Horrors - but there is a war on, so there's also plenty of angst and a bit of bloody violence along the way. CW: Violence, violent death (no main characters), homophobic society, internalized homophobia and closeting, internalized transphobia (supporting character), war veteran ptsd, slavery (supporting character - no abuse of this character is depicted and sentiments are anti-slavery), strong language, detailed sexual content (all consensual), discussion of sex work.Complete![[Volume 1: Ru Hasselt] The Clueless Prince](https://img.wattpad.com/cover/306574053-256-k291134.jpg)
