A king
A prince
A lesson neither of them will forget
✦•···················•✦•···················•✦
King Cassian rules Montverne with quiet grace and unshakable control. He speaks softly, moves precisely - a presence shaped and scarred by a tragedy.
When Nikandros, crown prince of Dioneth, is sent to observe him and learn by example, it seems like nothing more than a political courtesy.
But Nikandros is defiant by nature - reckless, sharp-tongued, and far too charming for his own good. He tests the rules, the patience of the court, and the composure of the king.
But when Nikandros glimpses Cassian in a moment of raw vulnerability, something shifts. The distant figure the Prince imagined becomes achingly real - and far harder to resist.
Between lessons, intrigue, and unspoken desire, both will come to realise that true learning goes far beyond what can be taught within the castle walls. After all, some lessons are learned through experience - and others through the heart.

A Crown of Carnations
Sir Astrael was once among the noblest of knights, serving his King with a loyalty deeper than blood and more devout than the most pious of priests. He burned down kingdoms and beheaded the Crown's enemies without question until he found himself at the opposite end of his King's sword, accused of crimes he would never have dared commit. When the royal blade pierced his heart, Astrael's sorrow gave way to an emotion much more dangerous: rage. Perhaps it was the searing heat of that fury that stirred the interest of a God who offered him a chance at vengeance by sending him two years into the past. Now, with his eyes finally opened and his heart burning with hatred, Astrael must find a way to get his revenge on the man who repaid his devotion with betrayal. But to do so, Astrael must join hands with a man whose heart he had once ripped apart, a man more beastly than most, but the only one powerful enough to help him rewrite fate.

Hold Me Close (BxB) {COMPLETED}. ✔️
Octaveus was depressed. He knew it, but no one else did. He hid it, just as he hid his scars. He wasn't human either; he hid that too. He hid almost everything about himself from everyone, in order to minimize the ridicule. His mental state, his thoughts, his scars, even his questionable sexuality. But that only fed into his sadness. Drew was insecure. He didn't like standing up for himself in fear of saying something wrong. He didn't even change in the main locker room for PE, he went in the stalls. He was anxious. He wanted to know what was happening and when so that he can prepare for all possible outcomes of that event. And he was gay; his family knew and supported him, but no one else knew. He was too scared of how they would react to tell them. Jessie knew his brother would be teased. It was really a fact. Humanity wasn't too good at accepting of different beings. No matter how human Octaveus made himself look, he couldn't hide his unnaturally pale skin that no matter how hard he tried would not tan or his yellow cat eyes. He just had to try to fit in, same as the rest of their family. Seth was the school bad boy, and secret werewolf. His hobbies included pushing around the Freshman, flirting relentlessly with any and every attractive popular girl in sight, and trying not to think about Octaveus. He didn't want other people to find out about his thoughts on the emo new kid. So, naturally, he made Octaveus's school day a living hell. But he still couldn't figure out why this new kid intrigued him so much, besides that he was obviously not human. {BOOK 1 OF THE 'Scars I Hide' SERIES} *CAUTION: Mature for scenes of self-harm and suicide, PG-13 language, graphic violence, and some sexual topics* IF YOU READ THIS, DO NOT SKIP THE INTRO.

What begins as cold tension turns into something far more devastating. A slow, aching pull neither of them can escape. In stolen moments and fractured nights, two men learn to choose each other over and over again, even when the world demands they don't.
