Prince Milo is a self-proclaimed narcissist, spoiled to the point of rotting. He's never seen the outside of the golden-plated walls he grew up in, and before long the gold walls grew dull. Causing trouble isn't just a hobby for him; it's a lifestyle. A very lonely lifestyle until the employment of Beau Coligan, who shares his love for excitement. But once he learns his friend is guarding a dark secret, Milo vows to dig to the very bottom of Beau's past to find it, and in the process becoming ripped apart by love and loyalty. 

From being found in the back of a French brothel to being at the hand of the prince of England, Beau Coligan is no stranger to hard work and perseverance. His strong beliefs are shattered once he enters the world of royalty, where his optimistic views of mankind are twisted into cynicism. He lives in a world of lies, deceit, and murder.  All of this changes when he is employed to be the guard of Prince Milo of England. Milo is a breath of fresh air in a world contaminated by greed, his only family is a lonely world. Beau would sacrifice his life to keep his troubled past a secret from the prince. When faced between morality and love, Beau has an impossible decision to make that jeopardizes both his and Milo's life.

Seven. The number that has haunted Beau for the past two years.
Milo wants to make it eight.

A magic-addicted spy trapped in the queen's service must track a princess-turned-assassin in order to earn her freedom, but things get complicated when she falls for the princess she's supposed to capture. ***** Weak. Cursed. That's how seventeen-year-old Kayden Branimir, the realm's deadliest assassin, views herself. Some believe she could save the world with her rare healing magic, but she gave up on her powers long ago after failing to save her best friend. Her life changes when she receives a letter from her supposedly dead twin brother, Alaric, begging to be rescued from rival territory Leodia. For the first time since her friend's accident, Kayden is determined to be the hero, but she must learn to embrace her magic--and herself--along the way. Strange. Unnatural. Those are the words whispered about eighteen-year-old Zara Tait, a Leodian spy addicted to soul-stealing magic. Forced into the queen's service, Zara wants to escape and return home, but she has nothing to offer the queen in exchange for her freedom. When Kayden arrives in Leodia, Zara sees the quiet girl with unique magic as the bargaining chip she needs. But the more she learns of Kayden, the more her feelings grow. Now, Zara must choose between her freedom and the dangerous assassin she hadn't meant to fall for. [2020 Watty Award Winner] Content warning: This story contains mature themes of violence, addiction, abuse, self-harm, and mental illness. Cover by Faera Lane
The Snowy-haired Genius by _Lost-in-stars_
36 parts Complete
Jason Williams didn't think going out to dinner with his family was going to be any different than usual. Comments about his sexuality, some teasing from his brothers, and lots of paparazzi. You know, nothing strange at all. But a fight with his father made Jason storm out of the restaurant, down an alleyway, and suddenly his life isn't the usual anymore. He woke up in an unfamiliar dark room, and a handsome boy opened his door to explain. The snowy-haired genius was holding him captive until he got what he wanted. Life couldn't be worse. Warning: This book contains mental issues such as depression, schizophrenia, and others. If you're sensitive to that kind of thing, then you should probably think twice before reading this. Of course, if you want to read it and you're sensitive, I'm not stopping you. This book only touches upon the subjects; It doesn't go deep into suicide attempts and voices. Remember despite the hate these mental illnesses receive, I believe you. Mental illnesses are no joke, they're not something I try to use for views. I am not hating on the illnesses. I know it's hard, but they are relevant to the book so I had to include them. If you're feeling depressed, please talk to a counsellor. Or, if you're too scared for that, I'll happily listen and give you advice. Thank you! (I needed to include this because I didn't want people thinking I thought the mental illnesses were stupid. I don't, I promise. I love you, and I need you to keep fighting!)
