Beneath the Noise 1 - [MXM] ✔️
(Completed) Brothers of the Empire Series I've never been entirely sure where I belong. Most days, I exist somewhere between wanting to fit in and wanting to disappear altogether. The world moves too fast, too loud, too bright, too full of unspoken rules that everyone seems to understand but me. So I stand there, another face in the crowd, pretending the thrum of the music doesn't make my chest ache, pretending the lights don't burn when they hit just right. But that night wasn't about pretending. It wasn't loud or dramatic. It was quiet, a small break in the noise where something inside me shifted. Life never warns you when someone important is about to enter your world. They simply appear, slipping into your orbit so softly you almost miss it. That's how it began for me. One night. One unexpected moment. And the start of everything that followed. --------------------------- Author's Notes This story is told in short chapters, with many moments that build gradually over time. While it can be read as a standalone, it serves as the first book in the Brothers of the Empire series, offering deeper insight into the characters, their histories, and the overarching timeline. The series consists of seven books, each to be released only after the previous installment is completed. 🏆 Rankings & Achievements 🥇 #1 (Slow) - 09/07/2026 🥇 #1 (Family) - 08/04/2026 🥇 #1 (Spanish) - 06/01/2026 🥇 #1 (Mexico) - 09/11/2025 🥇 #1 (Autism) - 12/11/2025 🥈 #1 (Burn) - 09/07/2026 🥉 #3 (Fast) - 09/07/2026 🥉 #3 (Mlm) - 10/02/2026 🥉 #3 (Burn) - 04/01/2026 #4 (Struggles) - 09/07/2026 #19 (BxB) - 29/10/2025Complete

Grazing the Primary Layer (w|w cast version)
1 scientist jealous of their double from another dimension, 6 people with powers summoned to stop their world's collapse, and 1 character builds the nerves to ask out their crush... and gets rejected? This (should be) the mostly women cast version of the series. Worst case, check out my site for it or for the mostly men cast version. Throughout this series of novellas, six characters develop their powers and their relationships with friends, with siblings and with romantic and sexual partners. They travel through time and to alternate dimensions both by accident due to a lack of control over their powers and intentionally due to being summoned to help save their world or a time line. The series has mostly light themes and is just meant to be enjoyed.Complete
