To someone that isn't paying much attention, it seems that everyone in the kingdom of Arthronia will have a happily ever after. This would seem especially true for Nathaniel Derrington: at eighteen his unparalleled knack for stabbing dragons wins him a spot in the royal guard, a respectable position with a fat paycheck and almost zero responsibility.
But to someone that is paying attention, things aren't looking so hot.
1.) Political tensions are rising.
2.) Magic is starting to run out.
3.) Nathaniel is completely gay for his employer.
You know, the King.
When a royal ball takes a turn for the worst, Nathaniel is thrown into a new kind of adventure. A kind where sanity is no longer a requirement, honesty isn't the best policy, and good people don't always get happy endings.
Things get ugly. But hey, life isn't a fairy tale. And it's time for Nathaniel to wake up and smell the roses.

It Was Just For Fun (BoyXBoy)
Jayden was never meant to be a prince, but when he gets adopted by the king and queen, he has to prepare himself for the challenges ahead. Luckily, his personal knight, Kam, is there to help him out. Together, they will have to deal with mages, fight dragons, and face windigos. Follow them as they learn more about each other, and learn to look past their deferences to accomplish their goals and save the kingdom. Firstly, a huge thanks to my friend Sophia (@sopheyyis or @B1ashe) for drawing the cover. She is an amazing artist, go follow her on instagram and tik toc because she is the best. Warning: this is not for kids or people sensitive to triggers. I tend to write on the dark side, just so you know. There will be no smut, but there will be mentions of sex, abuse, abandonment, a little bit of swearing and this list could be updated as the story goes on. I usually don't write romance, but I want to get better at it, so here we go... About updates, I wish I could say I will be posting at least once a day but I know that won't be true because I'm currently editing my book that I am publishing this summer (2020) and this story is more of just a de-stressor (is that a word) so the grammar and writing, especially the tense (it will most likely flip between present and past tense, just pretend it is all the same) might not be perfect, but I just felt like writing it. I will publish at least once a week Now with that out of the way, I just wanna say, hope ya enjoy the story. Have a great day and keep being your amazing you!Complete![The Thief's Dragon 📚 (Wings of Gold Book 1) [Old version]](https://img.wattpad.com/cover/341873406-256-k549220.jpg)

[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?
