To the world he is the Godslayer, the beast who devoured gods and razed kingdoms.
To himself he is only Bane, a dragon betrayed and entombed by the man he trusted most: his own rider.
Now, five centuries later, Bane is dragged back into a mortal body and bound to a queen's command to fight another war. But the rider who once caged him offers a bargain: pass four trials, and be restored to his true form. Freedom, redemption, even love, all whispered on the serpent's tongue. To follow him is to embrace the hate they share, and the ruin it promises.
Yet hate runs close to love, and love close to madness. Every trial drags old sins into the light and knots their bond tighter with blood and memory. Together they could unmake empires, or unmake each other first.

My New Home 2 - [MXM]
Rolling in the Dust Series Sigurjón Arnarson has never known how to stay still. Reykjavík couldn't hold him, his past refuses to loosen its grip, and his sharp tongue has a habit of igniting fires he never means to start. When his runaway life deposits him into the slow, quiet rhythm of a small farming town, Siggi expects boredom, exile, and maybe a little self-destruction. What he doesn't expect is Wyatt Thatcher. Wyatt is everything Siggi isn't, steady, grounded, and sun-warmed in a way that feels almost unfair. His boots are always muddy, his animals adore him, and his laughter belongs to a gentler world Siggi has never managed to inhabit. Wyatt has a farm, a family, and a life he genuinely loves. He doesn't need chaos. He definitely doesn't need Siggi. And yet, Siggi crashes into his life anyway. What begins as a reckless, too-hot, too-fast hookup at Benny's Saloon, unplanned and meant to mean nothing, slowly unravels into something neither of them intended. Late nights replace distance. Lingering looks replace denial. And the space between them fills with a quiet ache that feels dangerously close to belonging. Wyatt insists his life was just fine before Siggi arrived. Siggi insists he isn't built for roots anymore. But the longer they circle each other, the harder it becomes to deny the truth: maybe home isn't a place, a perfect life, or even safety. Maybe home is a person. Chaotic, funny, tender, and deeply romantic, My New Home is the story of what happens when a storm collides with solid ground, and how love can make even the most restless soul want to stay. ----------------------- 🏆 Rankings & Achievements 🥇 #1 (Iceland) - 29/01/2026 🥇 #1 (Perfect) - 22/05/2026 #5 (Ranch) - 03/01/2026 #5 (Farmer) - 03/01/2026 19# (Cowboy) - 3/1/2026
AVIAN | ✓
An out-of-solar system colony project gone wrong meant Jessie English was stuck doing most of the work assigned to the deceased science crew. Sticking to his morals meant being left for dead by those in charge. By chance, he meets Luc, a member of the planet's sentient avian humanoid species. All Jessie wants to do now is live out the rest of his days with him, and hopefully get past the language barrier that prevents him from communicating the feelings of love he hopes are mutual. Unfortunately, sightings of a human and an alien together are more interesting to the colony's higher-ups than one would hope. *** Born the runt of his clutch, Luc had never held anyone so small, so soft... He was all Jessie had, so he would do everything to shield him from others of his kind, and by extension, protect the whole human race. -------- AVIAN has been COMPLETED on the writer's end (30 chapters + five bonus stories) and is on a bi-weekly upload schedule.

[2024 Amby Awards winner] For as long as he can remember, Caldor has been forced to live a life of crime. With a group of his fellow thieves, they've stolen from practically all of the wealthier citizens of Redreach over the years. They have a system of how to go about their business, and it works. Until one day when it doesn't. Captured by guards and dragged off into the dungeons, Cal expects to be executed. What other fate could await a lifelong thief? But instead he is given an offer: his life will be spared if he steals a specific book. The catch? The owner of said book is a dragon. Caldor ends up accepting, having little choice, but he doesn't believe he will succeed. What Cal assumes will be his death turns out very differently, however, when he actually meets the dragon-a surprisingly human-looking and handsome creature called Idriseth-and very quickly becomes enamored with him. Cal may have come to steal the dragon's book, but now he wants to steal his heart. But will the always guarded Idriseth let him? Can a dragon even love a human? --------------------------- [word count: ≈ 40 000 words] ★ Featured on @Romance ★ • Book 1 - The Thief's Dragon • Book 2 - The Thief's Mate • Book 3 - The Thief's Choice • Book 4 - The Thief's Bargain • Book 5 - The Thief's Half-Dragon • Book 6 - The Thief's LoversComplete![The Unthought Fate [MxM]](https://img.wattpad.com/cover/372960506-256-k720016.jpg)
