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.

No Better Than The Beasts by seasidebible
58 parts Complete Mature
(Completed MXM) In a kingdom of wolves, a prince dwells with an unappealing attitude and a way of distancing himself from anything that deals with 'love'. You could say he was Prince Charming's opposite. His only true hatred was a certain beast, a species he wanted to obliterate until extinction: wolves. No one really knew why. But what happens when the snarky, harsh prince meets his soulmate? What happens when he learns that his 'destined love' is a werewolf? (Not as cliche as you think. Or at least I try to make it different.) {Ranked #6 in malexmale}<---Still unbelievable
Lunar Eclipse by NRMedina

"Growing up in a pack house full of rabid wolves was hard. Not being able to shift in a pack house full of rabid wolves was even harder. They would abuse, harass, and touch me.

I didn't have anyone to love me the same way I loved them. I wanted to give up. I was losing hope that I'd never find someone to call mine. And then I found him." ~~~ A cliché love story between a wolf and a vampire. They get close quickly but have their ups and downs. Can they fight off whatever evil comes their way? Or will they need to sacrifice their lives? *WARNING:BOYXBOY* *07/30/2020-09/08/2020* --Highest Rankings--- #28 in fantasyfiction #64 in teendrama #121 in boyxboy

Terrible Ideas by My_ShipWrecked_Heart

Where Max somehow gets roped into one of his sister's stupid schemes and ends up in way over his head, completely out of his comfort zone, and quite sure he's just met his dream man. A man who happens to think Max is a girl. *** "An excellent recommendation. You're not just a pretty face, then?" "You think this face is pretty?" Max tried to say it with more sass, but it came out kind of soft. His face went red and he turned sharply to the books next to him. Casual. "You're very pretty," There was a gentleness to the teasing and Max glared at him. The man laughed again, dropping his eyes from Max. "Thanks." Max said after a pause and the man beamed at him. "I should be thanking you. This might be worth the read," he waved the book in his hand. Max rolled his eyes, face softening back into a smile. "I'm Kevin, by the way." "Cool," Max said and wondered if 'Kevin' was a name that fit this attractive man. "And what's your name?" Kevin prompted after a short pause and Max cleared his throat, embarrassed. "Oh, sorry. I'm Ma-," Max barely cut himself off in time. Face flushing darker, mood dropping like a fucking brick. He wasn't Max right now. "I'm Eva." ***This is a rough draft. Currently being rewritten!!*** (Disclaimer: there will be boy on boy romance and if that doesn't float your boat, gonna need you to float on by. Also a lot of swearing. Thanx ;3 )

You Stress Me Out (BoyxBoy) by XxCatXKittyxX
32 parts Ongoing Mature
Chase Michaels became a doctor on a whim - nothing more, nothing less - and the same applied when it came to choosing where to work. He decided on the Junpei Institution based on a fleeting sense of interest after seeing their ad. Most of the things he's done in life were decided in a similar "spur of the moment" way, including going to medical school in the States. This time, due to his complete lack of research, Chase finds himself surrounded by violent, testosterone-driven young criminals, the absolute worst of the worst, who only have the facility standing between them and a dissolute future of felonies and anarchy. For a man whose adult life has been decidedly carefree, his time at Junpei threatens to overwhelm and drown him in a contracted five years of stress. His personal Hell reaches feverish heights after a certain student takes a vocal, damning interest in him, a man by the name of Luca Nixon. Tethered to the No Man's Land that is Junpei, Chase is securely kept within Luca's perplexing hands, tossed and turned about by his every whim. And though the doctor has his doubts that the "student" is who he says he is, Chase finds himself pulled in by a confusing sense of connection, unable to shut the other man out completely. Their budding relationship increasingly threatens to break down every coping mechanism he's carefully gathered and force him back into a reality that nearly destroyed him as a child. And Luca is all too happy to guide him, hand in hand, every step of the way back into the muck. |☆| Warning: This is a gay dark romance novel. There will be man on man action. And some violence, I guess. |☆|
