*Based on real events in my life*
Michael Mantez is a Marine Corps infantryman, his life defined by discipline, duty, and the rigid structure of military service. But beneath the uniform, his heart longs for a different kind of connection-one that he struggles to find within the hyper-masculine world of the Corps. He is drawn to the men around him, but these are not fairy tales. Michael's journey into love is a series of unconventional heartbreaks.
He falls for men who are often married or already in relationships, sometimes unknowingly, sometimes giving in to the temptation of a forbidden moment. He's a seeker of love in a world where it's often hidden or complicated by circumstance, and each broken promise and secret affair leaves a scar. This is a story of a man navigating the complexities of love and desire in a world that wasn't built for him, and the emotional toll of loving those who are never truly his. It's a raw and honest look at finding intimacy and
heartache in the unlikeliest of places.

High school friends, turned lovers, the two men are torn apart by fate as they desperately try to maintain their relationship despite outside forces. Loosely inspired by the life of Alexander the Great. Trigger/Content Warning: heavy depictions of alcoholism throughout. A character gets alcohol poisoning on page. A character seems to be suicidal. Self harm discussed at length and depicted throughout. Some brief racism (the protagonist is discriminated against). Some profanity. A major character dies in a traumatic manner. **I'm gonna be perfectly honest here, I wanted to write something that feels like listening to an entire Taylor Swift album, mostly Folklore, like you just went through a whole relationship, not yours, but you're still emotional about itComplete
