A mischievous jester. A gentle soldier.
A secret that could tear their lives apart.
Noble born runaway turned jester Thedrick enjoys his job possibly a little too much, and his habit of both teasing and flirting with the king's soldiers often lands him in hot water, though the beatings they serve him never seem to dissuade him or dampen his spirits.
Only recently recruited into the royal guard, everyone wants the gentle giant Beowulf to be intimidating, telling him to keep his helmet on to cover his soft face while he stands behind the throne looking menacing, though the soldier would much rather be back home baking pies.
When the two of them meet, the guard is enamored by the tiny fool, and becomes his protector, a job that turns out to be a lot more difficult than one might assume, especially when Beowulf learns that Thedrick might be harboring a dark secret.

The Joker and the Queen
At court, he is the fool. She is the crown. Their clandestine love is the most magnificent treason of all. Each night, Princess Élodie escapes the suffocating walls of the palace disguised beneath the veil and plain dress of a maid. Beyond the reach of watchful nobles and whispered expectations, she meets a stranger in the moonlit gardens, a man whose laughter feels more honest than anything within the royal court. Laurent knows her only as a veiled servant girl. Élodie knows him only as a man who sees her as something more than a future queen. But the illusion cannot last forever. For Laurent is the court's jester, hidden behind painted smiles and mocking bells, while the woman he has fallen for is the very Princess seated above him at court. Even after the truth is unveiled, neither can abandon the dangerous bond forged between them in secret. As their forbidden relationship deepens, Élodie's loyal servant Sabine is forced to conceal the Princess's nightly disappearances by taking her place within the royal chambers. Yet the deception grows perilous when King Auguste arrives at court and mistakes Sabine for his future bride. Now the palace is tangled in secrets: a king falling for the wrong woman, a servant mistaken for royalty, a princess slipping through shadows, and a fool who dares to love the crown itself. In a kingdom built upon appearances, one wrong step could destroy them all. ✨ Official 2026 Watty Awards Entrant.Complete![A Drink Before Battle [MxM] ✅](https://img.wattpad.com/cover/311391597-256-k601819.jpg)
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

The Prince's Keeper
Est thought he was stepping into the palace for a simple bodyguard position - another elite soldier ready to stand watch over a prince. But the instant Prince William's gaze found him, everything changed. Behind closed doors and flickering firelight, William made him an offer unlike any other: not just a role as his most trusted protector, but a place at his side as his secret consort, bound by a loyalty deeper than duty and a passion they'd never speak aloud in public. " I want your loyalty, your devotion... and your body. Be mine - completely - and I'll give you everything." "You'll have my trust," William had said, voice low and deliberate as he drew Est close. "My secrets. All of me, if you want it. But in return - you'll be mine. In every way, until death do us apart." Drawn into a world of whispered promises and dangerous intimacy, Est must navigate the hunger that burns between them as fiercely as the intrigue surrounding the throne. Within this dangerous, intoxicating intimacy, Est discovers that protecting this prince means more than bearing arms. It means answering every secret look and hushed invitation, melting into a bond deeper and darker than either of them dared imagine. And as their desire burns hotter with every touch, Est learns that belonging to William is no mere duty - it's a hunger neither of them can hide.
