And now, as the ruthless CEO of a criminal empire, he has turned that obsession into complete domination. Est is dressed in silk, kissed like glass - but every moment is a game of survival. William's love is violence dressed as devotion. And Est is too terrified - and too entangled - to run. But what happens when Est starts to crave the cage that confines him?

The Prince's Keeper
Est thought he was stepping into the palace for a simple bodyguard position - another elite soldier ready to stand watch over a prince. But the instant Prince William's gaze found him, everything changed. Behind closed doors and flickering firelight, William made him an offer unlike any other: not just a role as his most trusted protector, but a place at his side as his secret consort, bound by a loyalty deeper than duty and a passion they'd never speak aloud in public. " I want your loyalty, your devotion... and your body. Be mine - completely - and I'll give you everything." "You'll have my trust," William had said, voice low and deliberate as he drew Est close. "My secrets. All of me, if you want it. But in return - you'll be mine. In every way, until death do us apart." Drawn into a world of whispered promises and dangerous intimacy, Est must navigate the hunger that burns between them as fiercely as the intrigue surrounding the throne. Within this dangerous, intoxicating intimacy, Est discovers that protecting this prince means more than bearing arms. It means answering every secret look and hushed invitation, melting into a bond deeper and darker than either of them dared imagine. And as their desire burns hotter with every touch, Est learns that belonging to William is no mere duty - it's a hunger neither of them can hide. Content Warnings: This story is a fanfiction which contains explicit sexual content (m/m), mature themes, emotional intensity, power imbalances (due to status differences), possessive behavior, consensual intimacy, jealousy and slow-burn romance.

The Mistaken Note
The story follows Est, a college student who accidentally places a love note meant for his crush, Jun, in the wrong bag-William's bag, someone Est isn't particularly fond of. As Est spends more time with William, his initial indifference begins to shift, and he finds himself unexpectedly drawn to him. Meanwhile, William, unaware of the mix-up, believes the note is a confession of Est's feelings for him. As their bond deepens, Est grapples with his changing emotions, torn between his lingering feelings for Jun and the growing connection with William. Inspired by one of my favorite fanfics from Archive, This Confession Note Wasn't Meant for You by Toshiba19. I wanted to explore it with WilliamEst as the lead characters. I hope everyone enjoys my take on this concept!Complete
˜"*°• The Forest and the Firefly •°*"˜//𝒲𝒾𝓁𝓁𝒾𝒶𝓂 𝐸𝓈𝓉
William has always lived in the spotlight-but behind the camera flashes and screaming crowds, he feels like a firefly: small, fleeting, and always chased. Est is the opposite. He's the forest-steady, grounded, a quiet kind of strong. After giving up his dreams of competitive swimming, he's learned to find peace in simplicity, running a small guesthouse in the mountains of Chiang Mai. When William stumbles into Est's world-half-lost, half-searching-they're both caught off guard by what they find in each other. What begins as wary coexistence slowly unravels into something neither expected: comfort, tension, healing, and the kind of love that lingers long after the moment ends. Together, they learn that love doesn't have to be rushed or fleeting-it can be steady, lasting, and true. Because even fireflies need a place to rest. And even forests need a little light. A tender, atmospheric romance about coming home to yourself-and to someone who sees you, truly.Complete
Almost Hate, Almost Love (WilliamEst / EstWilliam)
An enemies-to-lovers story that follows William and Est-two boys bound by childhood rivalry, stubborn pride, and an unspoken connection that never quite went away. When Est moved into William's quiet Chiang Mai neighborhood, he didn't just bring noise and confidence-he brought change. To William, Est was loud, flashy, and infuriatingly good at everything. To Est, William was cold, smug, and impossible to impress. Over the years, they clashed like fire and ice, turning every shared moment into a silent war of words, glares, and video game showdowns. But everything changes when William finally follows his older brother to university-only to find himself roommates with the one person he swore he'd never tolerate again. Older now. Sharper. Still rivals... but something feels different. Because sometimes, hate lingers too long. And sometimes, it starts to feel a little too much like something else.Complete
