In the modern kingdom of Northaven, tradition and progress often clash, and no one feels this tension more than Brayden, the spirited grandson of the King. After the sudden death of his father, the heir to the throne, Brayden finds himself thrust into the spotlight as the next in line. Grappling with grief and the weight of expectation, Brayden must navigate a world that demands perfection from its future king while hiding his own truth-he is gay in a monarchy that has never openly embraced change.

Haunted by heartbreak from a past relationship that shattered his trust, Brayden embarks on a royal tour of Northaven, hoping to reconnect with the people and find his own sense of purpose. His journey leads him to Aldenford, a quaint seaside village where he meets Elias, a talented craftsman with a steady hand and a heart full of quiet strength. Through chance encounters, late-night texts, and shared stories, the two forge an unexpected connection that challenges Brayden's guarded world.

But life as a royal is never simple. As Brayden and Elias grow closer, their bond faces intense scrutiny from a kingdom steeped in tradition. Brayden must confront not only his duty to the crown but also the deeply rooted prejudice that threatens to overshadow his happiness. With the added pressure of his father's legacy and the challenges of being a gay royal in the modern age, Brayden is torn between the man he longs to be and the future his family expects of him.

Set against a backdrop of royal pageantry, quiet seaside towns, and a society grappling with progress, A Crown and a Lighthouse is a poignant tale of love, loss, and resilience. It is a story about finding courage in the face of adversity, honoring one's own truth, and learning to shine even when the world wants you to dim your light.

Will Brayden choose the crown and the expectations of his lineage, or will he follow the guiding light of love and chart his own path?

8 parts Ongoing
Hayden Wright, a human born in the Sun Kingdom, was raised in a happy family in a lush and bountiful region, surrounded by people who adored and fawned over his kindness and beauty. But he holds a secret his family has kept hidden for years, hoping he could suppress the magic surging inside him and the ultimate responsibility he must bear. Caelus Elara, the elf prince of the Moon Kingdom, was strictly groomed to be the heir to all of fae and elven society. Despite the handsome façade and quiet demeanor he showed to everyone else, there was a spark of kindness and playfulness in him that only Hayden could bring out. One night, when Hayden was still a child, he crossed the stone border between the human realm and the Fae realm. While in a mystical forest he had never been to, he met a young elf with long, pointed ears. "Prince Caelus," the elf introduced himself. Delighted by the first human he had ever set his eyes on, he showed him his magic. To his surprise, Hayden mimicked his tricks, which led him to wonder if the person he was talking to was even human in the first place, as no humans could ever possess such magic. This drove Caelus to seek answers, hoping to help his newfound friend. Before Hayden returned, they promised to keep in touch until they discovered the reason for the human's powers. They continued to meet secretly until they both reached the age of 18, keeping the promise they had made as children while also hiding another truth-their growing attachment to one another. Two boys bound by eternal duties: the chosen one and the elven prince, caught between a looming disaster and their own burdens. Will they speak their hearts before time runs out? Note: "The Lore of the Two Realms" contains valuable information and context about the terms, places, and personalities found in this book. You can either read this chapter for a better understanding or skip it to avoid spoilers. Happy reading!

In the hidden, enchanted city of Arcadian Veil, Princess Lian Yue is a vision of grace-brilliant in medicine, breathtaking in beauty, and unwavering in her devotion to her people. One fateful night, she crosses the sacred boundary of Arcadian Veil, not out of reckless curiosity, but for reasons she is afraid to face. There, she saves a gravely wounded man by the river, unaware that he is Crown Prince Rui Xian of the Xiang Empire, a man marked for death. Before he can ask her name, she vanishes into the night, but the memory of her lingers. When their paths cross again a year later, Rui Xian is determined not to lose her twice. Bewitched by her presence and intrigued by her sharp wit, he offers her an impossible choice: stay by his side as his future wife, even though he is unaware of her true origins. But Lian Yue has no interest in becoming a prince's possession, not when the past still binds her to a world she cannot leave behind. As betrayals unfold, long-buried secrets rise, and an enemy with ties to her past threatens everything, Lian Yue must decide where her heart truly belongs. In the end, love alone may not be enough to hold them together, but perhaps, the woman who once dedicated herself to duty will find that home is not a kingdom, but the arms of the man who would burn the world for her. Genre: Fantasy, Romance, Power Struggle, Adventure FYI this is my original story so please don't plagiarize, that's a crime.
