Until You Belong to me. by inked_by_aarsi

Aarav moves in with his relatives for his studies, expecting a quiet, uneventful life. But everything changes when he meets Vanya-a girl who is as unpredictable as she is intriguing. Sometimes she's adorable, sometimes cold, and most of the time, she speaks only when necessary. She's a mystery he can't solve, and the more he tries to understand her, the more tangled he becomes in her world. At first, she confuses him. Her silence feels distant, her moods unpredictable. But as time passes, he begins to see the hidden layers beneath her reserved nature. He notices her subtle kindness, her quiet strength, and the rare moments when she lets her guard down. Slowly, his confusion turns into admiration, then into something deeper-love. But loving Vanya isn't easy. She has walls built around her heart, and just when he thinks he's getting close, something pulls them apart. Despite the challenges, his feelings remain strong. And then, unexpectedly, she starts to soften. She begins to let him in, little by little. She, too, starts falling for him. Yet, their love is anything but simple. Between unspoken fears, hidden pasts, and circumstances beyond their control, their journey is filled with obstacles. Aarav and Vanya must decide-is their love strong enough to fight through the struggles, or are they destined to remain a beautiful but incomplete story?

They were never meant to fall in love. Ishika and Aarav have hated each other for as long as they can remember-childhood fights, sharp words, stolen glares, and a rivalry that followed them everywhere. But somewhere between football matches, late-night arguments, jealous glances, and almost-confessions... something changed. Six years later, fate brings them face to face again. Older. Broken. Guarded. He left without an explanation. She never forgave him. But no matter how far they ran, how much they pretended, or how badly they tried to move on... In every lifetime, in every memory, in every unfinished sentence- it was always him. It was always her. And maybe... it was always meant to be.

In Thy Name by Talvik77

An mxm dark fantasy romance. Two men separated by magic and caste--can they cross the line? (And save the world while they're at it?) The slowest of slow burns. Mature themes; pls check the content warnings! Before every political revolution, comes a revolution of the heart. Sareb, an outcast shaman-mage, and Kuya, a warlord's son, could not be more different. Living alone in a cave, shunned by almost everyone, Sareb refuses to admit he needs anyone or anything. For Kuya, family is everything. He would do anything for his older sister, the heir to their father's steppe empire, poised on the brink of world conquest-although he harbors misgivings about their violent way of life. When Sareb intervenes in an "accident" that leaves Kuya's sister's soul in limbo, the two are drawn into a quest from the desert sands to the northern steppe in search of her soul. As the stakes rise from one soul to clan rivalry to world war, a connection grows between the surly mage and the softhearted warrior. But Sareb has walled himself off after losing practically everyone that mattered to him, and he refuses to open up to one of the warrior elite who are to blame. For Kuya, the family name comes first, even before matters of the heart. For them to be together-not to mention stop the impending war-the entire world will have to change. For fans of THE POPPY WAR, THE JASMINE THRONE or THE FIFTH SEASON - but GAY! Content Warnings: brutal colonization/enslavement/genocide (mostly off the page); drug use/abuse; emotional abuse with sexual undertones; PTSD, depression and suicidal ideation; fantasy violence All of the main characters are 18+.

My Dear Damned Darling (NEW RELEASE) by BraveAngel_007

She's one of the last of her kind. For centuries, she's lived in hiding, a demon among humans, forced to bury the memory of a war that slaughtered her sisters until the world forgot they ever existed. Everyone believes the demons are gone. Extinct. But she's still here-watching from the shadows, burning with secrets too dangerous to tell. He's the prince of the bloodline that destroyed them. The heir to a dynasty built on her people's ashes. Her enemy by birthright. Their paths should never cross. He should never have noticed her. Yet across the chaos of a crowded marketplace, his gaze collides with hers-and nothing is the same. One glance ignites a fire. One fire becomes a pull-sharp, undeniable, dragging them closer with every heartbeat. The one person she should hate more than anyone becomes the one her body aches for. His stare lingers too long, her breath catches too fast, and the space between them feels charged-fragile, breakable, like a single step would close it. Every look, every breath, is an almost-kiss stretched tight with danger and desire... a hunger that could ruin them both, yet dares them to fall anyway. Loving him could destroy her. Leaving him could destroy the world. And when the choice comes, the world won't burn around them...it will burn because of them. ***This story contains mature themes that may not be suitable for all readers. Discretion is advised.

A Plaything for the Dragons by annablazer

❝Two dragons and their dirty little plaything.❞ I didn't have much before the war. Just a name, a half-broken past, and kraken scars that burn every time I breathe. The war didn't break me-it just left marks that never healed. Now, I scrape by in the Banished Realm doing what I must to survive-petty crimes, quiet getaways, keeping my head low and my secrets buried. It's barely enough. Until desperation pushes me into a mission I can't afford to refuse. One risky job. One promised payout. One brutal trap I never saw coming. Framed for a crime I didn't commit, I'm dragged into the dungeons of the Banished Kings. A mated pair-ancient, ruthless, and sinfully beautiful. They claim they want answers. But the way they circle me, the way their eyes linger on my scars and the fire beneath my skin... it's not just the truth they crave. I have a secret they can never uncover. Because if they do, they won't destroy me. They'll devour me-mind, body, and soul. And I don't know if I'll beg them to stop... or to never stop at all.
