bxb fantasy lgbt mature queer spooky thriller

Jules has always lived half in a dream, sketching strange patterns no one else seems to notice. But when his friend vanishes and the city itself begins to twist around him-billboards flickering with his name, graffiti that watches him back-he can no longer laugh it off as exhaustion.

Then he meets Silas. Enigmatic, magnetic, and impossibly certain of Jules's worth, Silas navigates him into the hidden world layered beneath the streets: the Reflective City. 

It is alive, filled with beauty and danger-where glowing murals shift with passing trains, and statues stalk those marked with THE SIGHT.

With only a sharp-tongued fox called Ash at his side and Silas guiding him deeper, Jules is forced to confront what he is, what the city wants from him, and how far he'll go to protect the people he loves.

But every choice in the Reflective City carries a price, and once Jules steps across its threshold, there's no way back.

I Became the Sub-Villain with Highly Intelligent Triplet Sons (BL) by annoyingweirdo24

Ryu Seo-woo is an award-winning best vocalist who tragically died in a plane crash and transmigrated to a BL novel, "Serenade Me, My Angel," which he read out of boredom. He transmigrated into the body of the sub-villain, who shares his name but is a C-list singer with a ruined voice due to throat damage. Living in a decrepit house with his five-year-old triplet sons (Seo-jun, Seo-min, and Seo-jin) who despise him for years of neglect and verbal abuse, Seo-woo is determined to rewrite their lives. The novel's main couple, the stoic CEO Moon Woo-seok and his innocent, angelic singer Jin Yu-jin, are destined for a happy ending. In the original story, Seo-woo's character dies in a fire, leaving his genius triplets to be adopted by the main couple. However, the transmigrated Seo-woo has no intention of dying or letting the original plot play out. Can he win over his sons and forge a new path?

Feared in boardrooms and hated in silence, 26-year-old CEO Evelyn Vireaux built an empire with an iron will and a cruel tongue. But no amount of power or wealth could stop the truth-she was dying. Terminal illness claimed her body, but not her soul. When Evelyn opens her eyes again, it's not in a hospital bed-but in a different world, inside the body of Selene Astera, the frail and neglected daughter of Duke Astera. Mocked by servants, scorned by her siblings, and invisible to society, Selene was as powerless as Evelyn had once been ruthless. Now reborn in a world of nobility and magic, the soul of a cold-blooded CEO simmers beneath Selene's soft smile. They wanted a weak girl to ignore. They'll get a villainess they'll never forget.

Beast World Handsome Husband Hoarder by HunterKxezshieOffcl

×Mature× > She died a jobless anime binge-watcher. She woke up a chubby, unwanted beast bride. Odette didn't ask for a second life-especially not in the body of a despised gray swan with five drop-dead-gorgeous beastmen husbands who can't even look her in the eye. Forgotten by her tribe, accused of crimes she didn't commit, and left to drown by the very men who vowed to protect her... it should've ended there. But fate-no, a shady cosmic system-had other plans. Armed with a cheat-like storage space, a secondhand body, and five cold marks on her hand proving none of her husbands ever claimed her, Odette decides it's time to rewrite this beastly romance into her own personal revenge story. Who needs loyalty when she can hoard hotter husbands? Who needs love when she can live deliciously petty? Let the ex-husbands regret. Let the new suitors line up. And let the Swan Queen rise-feathers, fat rolls, and all.

The Duke Fell for the Villainess by Rojeen_Zara

She was just a tired grade school teacher in the modern world- unappreciated, overworked, and denied her promotion year after year. Her only escape was her favorite otome game... until a tragic accident with a banana peel ended her life. When she opened her eyes again, she wasn't in her small apartment anymore. She was in a luxurious mansion. In a child's body. The villainess of her favorite game. Born as the real daughter of a Marquis, she knew how her story was supposed to end: starvation, betrayal, poison, and death. Her stepmother and stepsister would steal everything from her, and her own father would let her die without a tear. But this time, she refuses to play the role of a doomed villainess. Armed with memories from her past life, loyal brothers at her side, and a sharp tongue sharpened by years of teaching, she'll rewrite fate itself. Yet the world of nobility is more dangerous than she imagined- scheming crown princes, false heroines, poisonous stepmothers, and a cold northern Duke whispered to be a beast. But what if the "beast" turns out to be the one man who sees her for who she truly is?

The little gluttonous child needs to eat by Alkaysare

Yao Yao was born as a little glutton, her appetite rivaling half a mountain. One day, the old Taoist who adopted her passed away in meditation. At just three and a half years old, Yao Yao had no choice but to pack her small bag and head down the mountain to find her senior master. By chance, she ended up saving a wealthy tycoon from a car accident and became the adopted daughter of the prestigious Gu family. At first, everyone in the Gu family opposed the idea. The Gu family matriarch tapped her cane and said, "Raising someone else's child? Careful not to end up with an ingrate!" The Gu family head, Gu Xuesong, said indifferently, "Picked up halfway? Who knows what kind of trouble she might bring." From the eldest to the seventh brother, their response was unanimous: "We don't want a sister!" But this little girl, rejected by the entire family, proved herself after joining the Gu household. She resolved the business partner issues that even Gu Xuesong couldn't handle, bringing in so many contracts that they couldn't sign them all. She cured the Gu matriarch's chronic leg pain, to the point where the old lady was now striding around effortlessly... Even the seven Gu brothers, one after another, benefited greatly from her presence. It was only then that the Gu family realized they had brought home a treasure. From then on, the Gu family's attitude completely changed. The Gu matriarch: "Yao Yao, do you want some cream puffs? Grandma will buy them for you." Gu Xuesong: "Yao Yao, do you want a private jet? Daddy will have one sent over to take you for a ride." The Gu brothers: "Yao Yao, do you want..." And so, Yao Yao secured herself a meal ticket-one of the highest quality! ================== Note: get access to 100+ Advance Chapters on my patreon.com/flokixy
