A short story about Grantaire and Enjolras.
Grantaire had never been very confident or outgoing, and lately his life has been kind of rough. His parents died and gave all their money to his sister, and he lost his job in the matter of a week. So it was not uncommon for him to be hanging around a bar trying to drink away his problems. At first his drinking wasn't an issue, but soon his life loomed over him like an old rotting willow tree. Threatening to topple at any second and persistently pushing bottle after bottle into his hand.

The Young Prince
"Pathetic." His father breathes out. Charming scoffs and pushes the elder's sword away, bending down to grip his knees, regaining his breath. "I'm better than most the kingdom, I wager on it. I just can't beat you." Charming spits out. "You haven't gone against anybody but me, so how would you know?" His father's bulbous body passes in front of him towards the sitting quarters, skin red and flaming. "If I'd be allowed to leave my quarters freely, maybe I'd have someone else to practice with so I wouldn't take up your precious time, your majesty." He straightens up and walks over by his father, sitting down without being told. "You offend me, son. Do you not think I cherish these sessions?" Charming lifted an accusing brow, disbelief written plainly on his face. The King shook his head, exasperated.Complete

Loud Silence - Book One
Miles is nervous and quiet. He graduated early to escape the bullying and chaos of high school, but adulthood hasn't offered the escape he had hoped for. Isolated and adrift, he struggles with panic attacks, loneliness, and memories that refuse to stay buried. His world shifts when he meets Atticus. Confident, kind, and impossible to ignore. Miles quickly begins to crave the connection he never thought he deserved. As their relationship deepens, so does Miles's hope that maybe someone could love him enough to help him heal, but the past has a way of catching up. Because love, as beautiful as it is, doesn't always drown out the noise, and silence can be louder than anyone realizes. Set against a backdrop of late-night parties, quiet heartbreaks, and moments of painful honesty, Loud Silence is a slow-burning, coming-of-age story about identity, survival, and the terrifying hope of letting someone in. This is the first long-form story I've ever written. I would love feedback as long as it's respectful. This story has been swirling around my head for years, and I'm excited to finally fight against my own anxiety and put it out into the world. ⚠️ Trigger & Content Warning ⚠️ Loud Silence contains boy x boy romance and deals with heavy mental health themes, including depression, anxiety, self-harm, suicidal thoughts, abuse (emotional, physical, and sexual), sexual identity struggles, and death. I do everything I can to portray these themes honestly and respectfully. Reader discretion is strongly advised.
