To gain access to the palace, Xia attends the next selection to join the sultan's harem. To play the part of a concubine, Xia dresses up as a woman in an attempt to fool everyone. Things don't go exactly as planned when instead of being chosen to join the harem, Xia is chosen to be the sultan's bride.

A Drink Before Battle [MxM] ✅ by avaseofpeonies

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

(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

The Void of a Future King (mxm) by DaniellaIsTheName

Prince Remiul has the perfect life. He is of the most royal bloodline and destined to be king when his father retires. His parents are all around lovely people and the most amazing mom and dad to him. He has the most beautiful, smart, proper wife that all the princes had been fighting for. She is also of the most royal bloodline, after Prince Remiuls, but that's not why they wedded. They wedded because they love each other. After their honeymoon Princess Arabella was pregnant and had the most adorable baby boy. Their lives had been complete and they were happy. Except Prince Remiul couldn't help but feel that there was more to life than taking care of his son and training to be the next king. He wanted action, adventure, exploration and, mostly, passion. He wanted to be freed of all the responsibilities and have genuine fun, like laughing until his stomach hurt while running through a field. That's why when he meets a carefree 19 year old boy who takes the prince on an adventure, he can't get enough of him. He starts to sneak around with him and lie to everyone about what he's doing. He knows it's wrong, but he can't stop. So what happens when they share a mind blowing kiss? Between the stress of having a baby, having to train to be king, and figuring out his sexuality, will Prince Remiul crack under pressure? Or will he find his own happily- ever- after?
