When a new royal guard, Caspian, is assigned to his side, Julian's quiet world begins to change. Caspian is everything Julian is not disciplined, fearless, and hardened by battle. Yet beneath his armor, he carries a kindness that Julian can hear in his voice and feel in his presence.
Day by day, Caspian becomes Julian's eyes, describing the world beyond the palace walls
the color of morning light, the shimmer of rain, the gold that touches every dawn. And in those unseen colors, Julian finds warmth he never thought possible.

The gods answer his wish... but not the way he hoped.
A story of devotion, loss, and light that can be felt even in darkness
To See You, Even Once asks: if love could grant you sight, would you still want to see the truth?

Saved by the Devil (boyxboy) ✓
There is no one in the world who could possibly love me, I know it. I've pretty much resigned to crying under my covers at night as my boyfriend who I adore links hands with my bullies at school and beats me down. Pretty cliche. I think. Sometimes, I lie awake at night, just wishing, begging, praying for an angel to fall in my lap and wave their magic wand, take the pain away. Maybe kill me silently in my sleep, take me to a better place... One where I am not alone, suffering, always suffering, and eternally rejected by the world. Still, the angels never respond, never reply, never come to my aid.. Will a DEVIL do? [A/N] Don't read this if you're sensitive to abusive scenes as there is physical and emotional abuse in this story... but have no fear, there are one or two other stories on this site you could read instead. ヽ(〃＾▽＾〃)ﾉComplete

The Prince's Lessons
A king A prince A lesson neither of them will forget ✦•···················•✦•···················•✦ King Cassian rules Montverne with quiet grace and unshakable control. He speaks softly, moves precisely - a presence shaped and scarred by a tragedy. When Nikandros, crown prince of Dioneth, is sent to observe him and learn by example, it seems like nothing more than a political courtesy. But Nikandros is defiant by nature - reckless, sharp-tongued, and far too charming for his own good. He tests the rules, the patience of the court, and the composure of the king. But when Nikandros glimpses Cassian in a moment of raw vulnerability, something shifts. The distant figure the Prince imagined becomes achingly real - and far harder to resist. Between lessons, intrigue, and unspoken desire, both will come to realise that true learning goes far beyond what can be taught within the castle walls. After all, some lessons are learned through experience - and others through the heart.
