Lucid Dreams (M×M)✔
𝘽𝙤𝙤𝙠 𝙄𝙄 𝙤𝙛 𝙂𝙤𝙡𝙙 𝙁𝙚𝙫𝙚𝙧 𝙨𝙚𝙧𝙞𝙚𝙨 When saving the world turns out to be an even harder task than Phoenix and his friends anticipated, they pin their last hopes on their enemy. Not just any enemy, either, but the real culprit behind Gold fever and the one who just weeks ago wanted Phoenix dead and cold. Aspen is facing the consequences of his actions and trying to cope with the weight of them. Which, just like saving the world, is easier said than done. Especially as in the midst of it all, at the worst possible moment, he starts to catch feelings for the guy he was meant to want dead and cold. Oh, and there is a slight chance he isn't alone with his feelings. Aspen is, as the word goes, gorgeous after all, and it isn't like there are many options around to choose from when the world still thinks you're its enemy number one. But. (And there's always a but.) Their time is running out. Will Aspen be able to cure Phoenix, who still remains part of the key to saving the world, before Gold fever steals him away? Before lucid dreams become their only way to be together?"Complete

In a kingdom where curses are more than mere fairy tales, an ancient castle stands hidden behind walls of dark thorns, forgotten by all but the bravest and the most foolish. For within those shadowed halls slumbers a prince cursed by his own heart's betrayal. Once a ruler feared for his power and beauty, he now lies in a spellbound sleep, imprisoned by a vengeful sorceress who demanded a price for his cruelty: eternal rest, unless someone awakens him and binds their fate to his. Mira has never believed in fairy tales. Life in her village is one of harsh reality, where survival depends on wit and willpower. But when her family's future hangs in the balance, she's driven to the one place her people have always feared. Rumors of a sleeping prince and a curse that can be broken are all she has to go on, yet desperation leaves her no choice. But awakening the prince sets a far greater plan in motion, and the darkness she thought she'd face is only the beginning. Now, bound to a prince whose shadows dance with danger and desire, Mira must learn to navigate a world of magic, betrayal, and a fate that pulls them both toward something neither can escape. The only question is, who will break first-the girl with fire in her veins or the prince whose heart has long since turned to stone?Complete
