From the moment she was born, Qwella had the gift of super hearing. Or a curse as she called it. She had to wear earmuffs at all times. She was terrified of crowds and the overwhelming number of voices she was forced to hear.

But one voice stood out to her. It was of a boy singing. He sang sadly, as if crying for help. She couldn't pinpoint where exactly she heard this voice from, until she visited the Pit of Panah. It was the day of Coronation for King Merno, the late King Varallisuus' only son. It was also the day Qwella's life would change forever.

Loving Merritt Forever by lovelycrowsong

Part 1: Today was supposed to be my fairytale day. My perfect wedding day. I made my way to David, he took my hand in his, walking us closer to the long faced man who would be marrying us. The officiant started, greeting the room full of all my family, all of David's family. Going through the first reading easily. Giving their peace on the joy of marriages, it was bland, but acceptable. Moving along, the officiant announced in a loud voice, "If anyone here knows of any reason why these two should not be lawfully wed, let them speak now, or forever hold their peace." The officiant boomed over the crowd. I was caught off guard. This part was supposed to be just a formality, just a box to tick. No one was supposed to say anything. The world started to go in slow motion as Verity moved behind me a flicker in the corner of my vision. "David, I can't hide anymore." He said. As David's eyes went from me, to Verity, filled with concern. David looked over my head at Verity while he was holding my hands in his. I heard the crowd gasp, before everyone started to whisper. David dropped my hands. The whispers increased in intensity. Making the room sound like it was full of hissing snakes. David's attention wasn't anywhere near me. I looked up to see him looking over my head at my brother. With a look I had thought he had saved just for me, my heart breaking as my fairy tale became a nightmare. Part 2 also complete July 2023.

Sitting on the bed, I was waiting for my husband to arrive. It was our wedding Night. I rolled my toes as the visuals of him slowly touching my cheeks, making love to me was blurring my vision again and again. I was trying to compress my frequent blush that were turning my cheeks warm like candles. My lips unknowingly turning into the slight smile. Suddenly, the door pushed open and I shivered slightly.

"What's your name? Begum," His voice was dark and deep. But it made my smile vanished all of sudden. My heart started beating insanely. I terrified honestly. "Tell me," he asked again.

But, the much I remember my father sent him a letter revealing it. "What happened? Are you okay?" He asked with concern, pulling my veil up. The tears left my eyes and I shivered. I sucked on my lips as my throat turned dry. Even my cries didn't have any voice. I moved my fingers to signal him that I was mute, a voiceless princess. But, his eyebrows turned in a thinned line and a immense shock was clear on his face. "Your fa... Family lied to me?" He stood up from the bed in anger. *** The life was difficult for ladies back in 17th century but it was worse for specially abled.

Brinley ✓ | Gay MM Romance | 18+ by kittykat44

"Have you come here to die?" The voice was a bare whisper against the enveloping dark. It sounded stark and cold, with nothing in offer linked to safety. Yet, it brought me comfort of great proportions. ♛ ♛ ♛ In the dark wintry recesses of Baneberry Lane where the sun seems to set earlier than the rest, troubled passion blankets the streets. Known as the Valley of The Shadow of Death by the commoners for the dangerous folk it harbors. There's a house at the corner of the street underneath the pavement where a lone mollyboy stays with his dying mother with no inclination to trouble, save the knife he carries for protection. Brinley knows people look at him when he walks the districts. He sees the disgust in their eyes, he understands. The same dysphoria follows him everytime he looks at his body. Being born a girl, with a girls body and a girls voice took nothing from him knowing he was a boy. So he carries on, deepening his voice and binding his chest. Hoping one day, the misgendered notions would drop and people see him. Finn was born into wealth. Yet, the one thing he wants is the one thing he can never have. It's the secret he keeps against his family. Being attracted to the same sex is seen as a passing moment or a hankering in one's life.

The Sunken City by SolomonRobert

A merman living in a half-sunken Venice must decide between revealing himself to the oppressive humans to pursue the man he wants or repressing his desires to save everyone that matters to him, except himself, in The Sunken City. There isn't even a word for what Caydo is. At seventeen, he only knows that he is different. If Caydo manages to restore the magic that allowed his kind to breathe underwater, they could live free of the humans, but he would be trapped with the merpeople, who will never accept his sexuality. Attracted to a devious human from the surface, Caydo must navigate a new world of card games and vices, which could bring more trouble, instead of the romance and the refuge he craves. At fifteen, Caydo's younger sister, Sarzana, must choose either to stay a mermaid or to become a human, as it is illegal to bend after she turns sixteen. Unbeknownst to her family and friends, she has already chosen a human life designing buildings, which goes against the merpeople's goddess. The surface might not be welcoming to a mermaid, but the humans have the answer to what happened to her father in the attacks ten years ago. Told from multiple perspectives, the world of the merpeople and the ruins of Venice come to life in this engaging story of fearlessness and hope in the face of adversity.
