In a kingdom built on duty and devotion to the king, Prince Maxwell Lockridge has made the heart-wrenching decision to flee the Lockridge Empire, abandoning the throne and the life he has known. His son, a fiery boy named Ailas, is the only family he wants to protect from the unforgiving court that would see them both silenced, especially since the court has no recollection of Ailas' existence. Their journey leads them to the treacherous Westward Wilds, a sprawling desert of shifting sands and hidden dangers.

As they navigate the harsh landscape, they encounter Lucas Callahan, a notorious outlaw known as "Lucky," whose charm and resourcefulness have earned him a reputation among the desert's inhabitants. Initially wary of the rugged stranger, Maxwell soon discovers that Lucas holds the key to survival in the unforgiving sands. Together, they face perilous challenges-from ruthless bounty hunters to the elements themselves, and a hidden challenge within themselves.

As their adventures deepen, the bond between the three grows, and Maxwell finds solace in Lucas's unwavering support and fierce loyalty. Amid the backdrop of the vast, untamed desert, Maxwell and Lucas are drawn to each other, their hearts igniting in a passionate connection that defies their pasts.

But the shadows of the Lockridge Empire are never far behind, and their pursuit threatens to tear their newfound family apart. As they confront their fears and desires, Maxwell must choose between the throne he fled and the love he never expected to find.

In The Downfall of a Cowboy, journey through a tale of adventure, love, and the quest for identity as three souls collide in the unforgiving beauty of the desert. Will they find a way to forge a future together, or will the weight of the past shatter their dreams?

In Hell We Dance autorstwa EffervescentElixir

Where do all the demons play when the sun goes down? Hell, of course. Just... not the Hell you're thinking of. Isaac Parkinson is a man on the run, fleeing a past he desires no part of, and a city that wants him dead. A new city; new opportunities. Bunking out in an abandoned warehouse in the grey corners of an already grey city, he has two possessions to his name: a sleek silver revolver, and a necklace: the only tie to his previous life. To his mother. But it might fetch a hefty sum, if you know the right guy. If it boils down to selling your soul, Isaac only asks the price. Isaac stumbles onto Connor Robertson, a man thrust into a fortune he can't control, and Isaac reveals Connor's black heart. Turning this new development to his advantage, he seduces the young Connor into converting this dump into a makeshift nightclub. The catch? It's all a lie. A haven for the lost souls, a hangout to drink your sorrows away and enjoy the sweet bliss of a drug-fuelled escape, turning their pain into profit. This limbo between two worlds-the real world, and the world of fantasy: a Hell of its own. Only the lonely dwell here. Connor might just fit in at a place like this, yet he craves for a life well-lived, and escaping into the night has never been a long-term solution. Isaac wants to prove him otherwise, showing him the dangers, and delights of this unkempt world. Swept up in Isaac's charm, Connor looks past the darkness in his heart, and as Isaac's past catches up to him, and new threats emerge, Connor finds he is in way over his head. But the fight is not his alone. Corin Lowell, guardian of Hell, shadow in the cracks, and bright-eyed Aiden Griffin, challenge what Isaac holds true. As their black hearts are put on display, Connor has to decide if Isaac truly does love him, and can be saved from his destructive path, or if his soul really belongs in Hell to burn.

A Lord and Lace (Regency au! Prince Arthur x oc) autorstwa kfacecookie

A wayward regency au one shot I wrote for fun, and because the concept wouldn't stop haunting my mind. ~ Trying to get back up after his ex-fiancé left him, Lord Arthur Pendragon relents to his friends and families idea of hosting a party in his family's estate. Although holding up hope for a new love that evening, he could not predict falling head over heel for a woman with haunted eyes, who secretly hides a crooked and wicked grin and a spark of intrigue unlike any he's glimpses before. After catching the sight of that side of her, and the way her families mistreatment severely dampens it, he finds himself sure of one thing. He's going to get her out their grasp, but doing so might be more tricky then first expected. Miss Harriet Frodesdotter is stuck in a hell of constantly being forced into a uncomfortable, lace covered, dress, into unbearably loud ballrooms, and dealing with condescending suitors that her controlling sister manages to steer towards her. The sudden approach by a Lord Pendragon does make her pause however, his sweet and concerned eyes appearing to be almost horrifyingly sincere as he offers to help her with her family issues. She doesn't trust him, he's not the first to claim to be her savour for purely selfish reasons, but something tells her that there's something more to him, and not in a bad way. ~ Content warning for ableism, family issues (including abuse, I don't perceive it as especially graphic, but it's there) and depictions of meltdowns.

But if this black-and-white world has really become Elijah's grim reality, then why is this young, mysterious man capable of adding color and a heartbeat to this dreadfully achromatic still life Eli is trapped in?

Reap the Earth at Which you Stand [boyxboy] autorstwa FKNichols17

Growing up in chaos isn't simple for all. Not many could cope. They would struggle and kick, but ultimately drown. However, for Dakota, that was his normality. Torturing. Maiming. Killing. That was his life, the life of a hunter. The Arizona line was elusive, written fame in the lore of hunters, and infamy for their prey. They were the best. No one could ever compare to their skills, their abilities, their ruthlessness. But Dakota was something else. His siblings might have learnt to enjoy the hunt, well most of them anyway, but Dakota didn't. There was always something missing for him, something he was waiting on. Silent and everlasting hope. A promise had been made to him, the day his twin brother was stolen, taken by the enemy, plucked right from the very home the Arizonas had grown up in. A promise of something better, something that he might actually want in his life. Now, almost sixteen years later, something was coming. A change was begging to be found. Maybe it would be for the best. Maybe Dakota would finally find that certain something that had been missing his whole life, something to fill the dark and fractured abyss that ached and wailed within. But nothing was ever that simple. Because, of course, the promise that had been made to Dakota would never be anything plausible for him, anything tangible to have and to hold. He had been promised a new life, by the greatest enemy of them all. It wouldn't be easy. Not with his family still clinging to his heels, the teachings of blood and violence burnt into his mind. No, leaving them behind wouldn't ever be easy. Then again, staying with them would only bring his inevitable death. Why not take the chance to die happy? After all, out of the ashes, a phoenix will rise...

F/N yearns for a life far beyond the narrow confines of the provincial town of Villeneuve. In a place where tradition reigns supreme and conformity is quietly expected, he is a figure apart-a young man whose unconventional perspective clashes with the rigid definitions of masculinity upheld by those around him. Fiercely independent and endlessly curious, F/N finds solace in books, immersing himself in tales of far-off lands, daring adventures, and romances that defy the ordinary. But the stories he treasures only deepen his hunger for more. He dreams of stepping beyond Villeneuve's dusty streets, of living a life as vibrant and boundless as the worlds he reads about. His quiet routine is shattered when his beloved father, the only person who truly understands his dreams, is taken captive by a fearsome Beast and held within the confines of an enchanted castle. Refusing to let his father suffer, F/N makes a fateful decision: he offers himself in his father's place, trading his freedom for the promise of his father's safety. Though he outwardly accepts his fate, his mind races with plans of escape, determined that this castle-no matter how frightful-will not be the end of his story. Yet, as the days turn to weeks, the mysteries of the castle and the Beast who inhabits it begin to unravel before him. There is more to this strange, enchanted place than meets the eye, and the Beast himself proves to be far more complex than F/N ever imagined. Slowly, the boundaries between captor and captive blur, and F/N finds himself questioning the very stories he once clung to for meaning. Could the adventure he craves-and perhaps something even deeper-lie not beyond the castle walls, but within them?
