A devoted young duke, Drystan finds himself drawn to Aurelian- a cold, distant prince. What begins as silent admiration turns into something deeper as the years pass, but in a world where love between men is forbidden, feelings must be buried like secrets in snow. A single rose may be the the only sign that love ever bloomed at all
***
Duke Aurelian lives by precision- every word measured, every step perfect. In a world where mistakes means weakness, he keeps his past buried and his heart colder still. But one man threatens that order: the warm, relentless boy he once ignored, who grew into the one person he can hardly resist. Bound by duty and paralyzed by fear, Aurelian never meant to fall in love.

Senses Of Love Series #1: Through the Blur
"Through the Blur" - Some stories unfold in silence. Some loves are almost missed-until they aren't. - Euan Cursin Ricasanta, 19, lives in a world of softness. A quiet dreamer in cozy knits and pastel hues, he finds beauty in pressed flowers, golden light, and unwritten stories. Overshadowed by his sister's brilliance, he speaks through poetry, not presence-always hiding the ache of being unseen. Edrian Leighton Laxamana, 22, is the embodiment of control. Heir to a powerful empire, he wears tailored suits like armor and speaks with the precision of someone raised to never need softness. His life is a blueprint-one where love is arranged, and vulnerability is forbidden. Their paths were never meant to cross. But one ordinary day, a door opens-and Euan, not Eula, is the one standing there. What follows is a slow unraveling. A glance held too long. A story written in secret. A silence filled with meaning. Edrian is drawn to the quiet boy with paper hearts and trembling words, a boy who reminds him what it means to feel. Euan, in turn, begins to see something behind Edrian's cold façade-something real, something aching. But in a world that demands roles be played and feelings be hidden, their connection becomes a fragile rebellion. When the truth threatens to surface, when family and duty close in, both boys must confront the question they've been too afraid to ask: What if the only person who truly sees you... is the one you're not allowed to want?

LOCUS-9: Until The Last Leaf Fell
Rhyse Aurelan had three months left. Eryth Vale had forever to hold his silence. In a crumbling outpost at the world's edge, a solitary scientist tends a plant that should not exist. Its roots are sunk in ash. Its leaves drink a poisoned wind. Still, it blooms-year after year. Among the dust, he finds a box of unsent letters. Each one is addressed to a name he's never spoken. Each one ends the same way: Come home. Through winters when frost bit through the glass, through summers when the air turned to steam, he tends the garden as if the world depends on it. Perhaps it does. He reads the letters when the nights are too long. He waits for someone who will never return. Some things grow because you love them. Some things grow because you can't let them go. And some things... wither the moment you learn the truth. Some things are kept alive out of hope. Others, out of grief. And sometimes, it's impossible to tell the difference.Complete
