Not My King (BxB)
Drug dealing unicorns, gnome hookers, and a hot guy named 'Turnip'. These are just a few of the strange things that Rem encounters after getting kidnapped by a talking marble. -------------------------------------------- Rem is, for the most part, motivationally challenged. Then one day, he's whisked off to a high-fantasy world with the sole purpose of delivering a powerful artifact to the king. The problem? He absolutely HATES fantasy settings. So when he learns the king is in hiding, he's not too happy that his little isekai adventure has been extended. Things only get more interesting when he learns he's been cursed too. -------------------------------------------- King Zephyre has been forced into hiding after his father is murdered. Crime starts running rampant in the kingdom, and he grows desperate to help his people. Luckily there's a vigilante causing a stir, so he decides to tag along in secret. This is a high-fantasy, slow burn, drama-comedy with an MC who uses dark humor a lot. Read with caution. #1 in DND on 2/7/2025Complete

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
