Summary
During the prince's tenth summer, he met a blacksmith's nephew. Six years later, he kissed him in the middle of a war. Five after that, he held him as he died.
After a brutal war that lasted a decade, the Kingdom of Hawkins begins to crumble—allegiances are questioned, treason looms ever closer, and vengeance poisons minds. Suffering from the heartbreak of losing the only man he's ever loved, Steve is thrust into the political turmoil without a moment to breath. Quickly, he finds himself in the middle of a court rebellion, and, in the dead of night, he becomes a king. A minute later, he is dethroned.
Sent as a gift from the new leaders of Hawkins, Steve is carted across the continent to be presented to Kas the Bloody Handed—a man he hasn't seen since their blades clashed on the battlefield. Expecting a swift execution, Steve is stunned to find Kas has no intention of such a thing—instead, he wishes to help the prince restore his seat on the throne.
Between politics, monsters, and the growing threat of another war on the horizon, Steve finds his heart yearning for the touch of a creature that is more man than monster.or;

Summary
"Why is it a secret?" Eddie asked slowly.
Steve felt himself shrugging. He knew why it had to be a secret. His parents would hate Eddie and his long hair, his dirt smudged cheeks. The way he shouted and ran and giggled. They wouldn't like who Steve was around Eddie. Steve knew that, so it had to be a secret.
"It just is." Steve said, looking out to see Elizabeth glaring at him. Frantically waving him over. Time to go home.

Summary
A fantasy world of boys on generic magical quests getting distracted by other boys. Or, a world in which I subvert, upend, break or otherwise fuck around with the tropes of the epic fantasy genre, primarily by adding lots of gayness.
All set in the same world and the same timeline, so there is overlap in themes, places, supporting characters, etc. between stories. However, the stories are all independent of one another and have their own plots and storylines. My goal is that a reader can read any or all of the stories in which they are interested and skip those in which they are not without missing out on the overall story.

Summary
When Damen agrees to help his brother settle a land dispute between their family and the neighboring estate belonging to the de Vere's, Damen assumes it will be a short and businesslike task. It's not, of course--nothing involving Laurent de Vere ever is--and when Damen mistakenly sends a letter to him instead of to his brother complaining about his haughty demeanor and yes, okay, mentioning he might want to murder him, things become a bit more complicated.
A story of Damen and Laurent's relationship, told from the various letters they send.

Summary
He imagined himself nineteen again, knowing then what he knew now, and wondered if he would let that long ago battle fall to the Veretians -- let Auguste live. If he would have ignored his father's call to arms altogether, and instead found his way to the Veretian tents and sought out Auguste to find some common ground.
Five years after the Truce of Marlas, Damen and Laurent meet again in Delpha. They're forced to work together to soothe the growing tension between their countries. But Laurent does not forgive easily and Damen's not that sorry.

Summary
“When you were young,” said Damen, “we lived near here. South a few miles, back closer to the construction. And we were planning a new capital in the center of both Vere and Akielos, to combine the administrative functions of both kingdoms into a single location.”
Leon had many questions but he wasn’t sure how many he was going to be allowed to ask. “By ‘we’ you mean you and me and Nikandros?”
Damen’s arm was still on his shoulder. Damen pulled Leon in closer to his side and squeezed him briefly. “Yes, you, me, Nikandros, and also the King of Vere.”

Summary
What is it about you? Teddy thought. He looked away, then quickly back again. Billy wasn’t like anything or anyone he’d ever known. He wasn’t like anything or anyone he’d ever thought he wanted. He was…wholly new, unexpected. Baffling and oddly frightening. Teddy wet his lips, studying Billy’s sharp features. It wasn’t often he had the chance to do this—to just observe Billy without drawing the full weight of his attention.
His nose was a little too long. His ears were too big. He was the kind of skinny that other kids made fun of, all gangly limbs and extended trunk. His brown hair stuck up in untamed spikes, too chaotic to be deliberate. He was so pale his angular face almost glowed in the darkness of the planetarium.
His skin was a living canvas beneath undulating waves of light.
Or: Sequel to Teenage Wasteland.

Summary
Bucky's mother gives him an ultimatum. Bucky doesn't respond well.
All Barneses are stubborn assholes, Steve observes, as though he doesn't see the irony of calling someone else stubborn. Or an asshole.
And Bucky can't even deny he is a total asshole for lying to his mother about dating Steve just so he doesn't have to bring someone else to her wedding, but damn if he's not going to give the lie everything he has.
(OR: Bucky and Steve reach an understanding that sometimes it's easier to just pretend they're dating. They hide behind 'pretend' for far longer than they should)
