Sonjay Colton, the current prince of his country, Whitebridge, is expected to take over the throne once his father resigns in several years. At this stage in his life and training he knows most of what is expected of him as prince. There is just one thing missing: A spouse to share the burden of monarchy with. To find a suitable partner, several of King Simon's associates put forth their willing and eligible children to earn the prince's hand in a competition they dubbed "The Arranged." Aside from Sonjay's uninterest in the competition, he has another problem with the Arranged. His heart belongs to another man. His childhood best friend, Eli Noble. But his love is unspoken and unrequited, and he believes The Arranged is the only way to move forward from this childhood crush that, unbeknownst to him, may not be as unrequited as he thinks. With The Arranged arriving, both Eli and Sonjay bury their feelings, both believing that hiding their true feelings is the only way to face the future and maintain their friendship.

Rescued by a hunter, he molds himself into one of the best warriors of Cascadia. Impressed, the queen gives him a direct order to kill a traitor to the kingdom: the crowned prince, Dove. As a reward, he is offered a potion that would bring back his lover from the dead. Despite being the sole heir, Dove has been relegated to the role of a servant by his stepmother.

Together, they will have to deal with mages, fight dragons, and face windigos.

Firstly, a huge thanks to my friend Sophia (@sopheyyis or @B1ashe) for drawing the cover. She is an amazing artist, go follow her on instagram and tik toc because she is the best. Warning: this is not for kids or people sensitive to triggers. I tend to write on the dark side, just so you know. There will be no smut, but there will be mentions of sex, abuse, abandonment, a little bit of swearing and this list could be updated as the story goes on. I usually don't write romance, but I want to get better at it, so here we go... About updates, I wish I could say I will be posting at least once a day but I know that won't be true because I'm currently editing my book that I am publishing this summer (2020) and this story is more of just a de-stressor (is that a word) so the grammar and writing, especially the tense (it will most likely flip between present and past tense, just pretend it is all the same) might not be perfect, but I just felt like writing it. I will publish at least once a week Now with that out of the way, I just wanna say, hope ya enjoy the story. Have a great day and keep being your amazing you!Complete

The Last Aria || Ivantill Fic
"Some flowers only bloom in silence-and some songs were never meant to be forgotten." In the cliffside kingdom of Velstara, where the palace looms above the abyss and the people live under watchful eyes, Prince Till is little more than a porcelain heir-adopted, abused, and meant to be seen, not heard. He survives by writing poetry in secret and playing forbidden melodies on a stringed instrument he hides beneath his bed. He has learned that caution is a form of armor-and silence, a kind of obedience. But silence does not last forever. When Captain Ivan, the eerie and unreadable commander of the king's knights, is sent to war, he begins writing letters to the prince-letters that say nothing yet somehow mean everything. As battles rage beyond the cliffs, something ancient stirs beneath them: a rebellion wrapped in song, in grief, in flowers that bloom where none should grow. And the prince's poetry may be the key to awakening it. Then a letter is found. A truth is betrayed. And a song long-buried begins to hum again. In a kingdom where speaking can cost your life, Auren must decide what kind of story he wants to leave behind: a broken echo... or a final aria. A romantic, lyrical fantasy about the power of grief, rebellion, and the quiet bravery of those who bloom in the shadows. . . . All art is made by me!

The Pretty Boy In The Sheets| bxb |
*I do not own any rights to the photo used as my cover* *** #2 in TeenRomance (2026) #4 in Gayness (26) #9 in Teenager (2026) #11 in Coming out the closet (2021) I started this story in 2021... Everything is cringy and bad about this story, but I decided to complete this book since I got a lot of comments disappointed it was never finished. Eric didn't choose or really want to be gay, it just kind of happen- something that just happened, he can't even remember how he found out he was gay all he knew was that he was, And it wasn't like there's nothing wrong with that. Eric wasn't homophobic, he didn't feel disgusted in himself but rather disappointed. Everyone put pressure on him to be this perfect person, whether it being grades or sports or family- everything would be ruin if he came out. That's why he hadn't told anyone in the last couple years, not because he's scared- pft, Eric Goodmen scared? Star football player? Could have all the women by just a click of a button if wasn't for being in love with the same gender- scared? He was just a little 'inconvenienced'. One party changed everything though- to many drinks and making out with the wrong gender to send his fake perfect life crashing down when discovering out the first person he came out to, kissed, and had sex with was Callum Micheals. Mr pretty boy. Like life flashing before his eyes- Eric questioned whether Callum remembered or not? *** The smell of a nose itching fabric softer, too expensive for his parents to buy and the feel of warm feather pillows is what Eric woke up to. His body was somewhat tired, and sweaty but besides that, he felt good- he even let out a morning moan sitting up with his arms to look around, he was at Jackson's. A light ache from his hangover rang through his head reminding him that he drank a lot last night seconds later, he opened his mouth to hiss or groan in pain, but the groan that brought silence to the room wasn't his- it was, "Callum?!" Eric whisper shouted.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
