Romeo Won't Die This Time Because He's Gay [BL]

Noel... Hollywood's beloved A-list darling... has two secrets: 1. He's gay. 2. He plans to retire after his final film and finally live openly for the first time in his life. But fate has never liked him. During the final scene of his tragic romance movie, the heroine is supposed to pretend to stab him. Instead... she grabs the wrong knife. A real one. Thanks to that, Noel dies on set. And wakes up inside the very movie he was filming. Now reborn as Noel Hartwell, the spoiled youngest son of a wealthy noble family in a European-styled 1900s world, he quickly realises two things: One: He is engaged to Evelina... the same obsessive heroine who murdered him, the male lead, in the film. Two: He absolutely refuses to die for romance a second time. Breaking the engagement should solve everything... except his new family won't allow it, Evelina falls even more violently in love with him, and the scripts of both fate and insanity seem determined to drag him to the same bloody ending. And then there are the men. THE MEN!!! Noel just wanted a calm retirement. A peaceful life. Maybe even a normal romantic relationship with a man... something he was never brave enough to pursue before in his original life. Instead, he gets a death flag... infested engagement, four dangerously attractive men circling him for reasons he does NOT understand, and a story that keeps twisting the harder he tries to escape it. He refuses to die like the original male lead. He refuses to follow the script. And he definitely refuses to fall in love with anyone who could stab him in the future. This time, Gay Romeo isn't dying for anybody. Not the heroine. Not fate. And especially not for some brooding hot guys with unfair shoulders and massive weapons of destruction under their zippers But he might accidentally seduce half the cast while trying not to.

Skylar is soon betrothed to marry Lord Caspian of House Everus. They knew each other as children, and when they meet again after years apart, Skylar immediately despises him. He is cold, unreadable and infuriatingly indifferent. When Skylar begs him to refuse the marriage. Caspian ignores her pleas out of duty. And so they marry, bound by politics, resentment, and a shared vow to keep their distance. Thrust from the warm gardens of Astros, to the cold fortresses of Xoras, Skylar struggles to adjust to her new life and all its restrictive rules. And her marriage is no better. It is a performance by day, and a battlefield in private. Skylar loathes Caspian’s rigid honour and unkindness, while Caspian resents Skylar’s defiance and fire. They try to destroy each other with every glare and conversation, yet beneath the hostility lies something neither of them can explain or ignore. But Skylar soon uncovers a truth far more terrifying than an unwanted marriage. She discovers the real reason House Everus proposed a union. It is a plan of deception and betrayal, one that sentences Skylar to imminent death. Skylar has no solid evidence, nor any allies. No one will believe her. If she speaks, or run away, she will be dismissed as a desperate girl trying to escape her marriage. Every choice will doom her parents and Astros, with it. There is only one path left. And it is the most dangerous of them all.  Skylar must make her husband, Caspian Everus fall in love with her.  But affection is harder to fake than hatred, and the task seems impossible. Even as the lines between act and reality begin to blur, and tensions rise between them, Skylar wonders if the man she vowed to hate can truly save her and her family from destruction, or will he become the greatest threat of all?

Conatus of the Iconoclasts [Conatus Iconoclasta]

An army of 150,000 men marched in sync across the valley, their footsteps causing the very mountains to tremble and the ground to convulse. They chanted prayers of the old. Today shall be the day the wronged are vindicated, the oppressed are recompensated, and the fallen are avenged. A man clad in armor made of Xitesos-iron, mounted atop a beautiful black steed gazes over the valley, towards the walls of the walled city nestled between massive mountains. His mane of long, wavy hair tousles in the breeze, much like the bright red flags the cavalry behind him carry. Crepuscular rays penetrate the skies, looming over the massive army and the city in the distance. Listen—because today the sky is at war, and it all started with a boy's home turned pyre. One spark, unquenched: a crimson-eyed orphan, forged in ash and ambush, chasing ghosts through empire's jaws. What is conatus, if not this primal roar—the ache to shatter icons of loss, to reclaim dawn from rain that devours all? In a world of marble scars and stolen skies, one soul defies: not for glory's hollow gleam, but to kindle what the dark named impossible. -------------- Some info regarding the novel: This is a historical fantasy novel set in an expansive, living, breathing world with many different factions and diverse biomes. Conquest, finance, logistics, power systems, politics, dramaturgy, emotional growth, revenge, morality, becoming a better person and fights—such themes are prevalent in the novel. I try to make descriptions cinematic and captivating, during both grand junctures and intimate moments, making sure the text composition feels almost poetic. I am not a good writer by any means, but I have lofty ambitions, and if such a writing style appeals to you I would really recommend this novel. The characters in this novel are quite complex and almost real-like. They are written with the intention of making the cogs in your mind turn and your morality clash (that, and providing for some extremely entertaining moments). I'm inspired by works like bleach, and want the characters to be unique like Kubo Tito's, not just copy paste cliches. A lot of characters, places, weapons and other stuff will be based on real historical events and names and what not. Great conquerors, grand cities, fabled kingdoms and monolithic turning points. There isn't any magic per say (magic in its supernatural form), rather,broken abilities are a natural, imbuded part of this world in a bio-physiological aspect. Its a well balanced power system that isn't too overpowered, which would lead to stagnation and steer away from the themes of the novel. Release frequency- There is no fixed frequency, but I try to upload as often as possible. Expect some insane power scaling in later chapters (Around the end of the Dusk to destiny arc (vol 2) )

The Bride of the Storm Lord: Stormborne's Desire

(WARNING: MATURE CONTENT!!!) In a land divided by elements and ruled by powerful lords blessed by ancient gods- Ignarion- god of fire. Vireon -god of storms. Caelion- god of wind. Neryth-goddess of ice and water. And Thalor- god of earth. Every alliance forged and every oath sworn carries the weight of divine power... and ancient prophecy. For centuries, each lord has coveted more power, more dominion, and more control. One spark is all it takes to ignite war. Born of fire, Aurelia Flameborne was once the pride and beloved daughter of Ashmere. A beautiful warrior princess, destined for greatness and betrothed to Neris Winterbourne, the cold and noble Lord of Winter. All of that shatters the day the witch Ishara curses her. After the devastating War of Ashmere, Her face becomes scarred, her magic fractures, and her family locks her away in the tallest tower, too ashamed to let the world see what she has become. Even her fiancé, the Lord of Winter, abandons her for another. But destiny refuses to let her fade. When whispers from the North threaten to end her engagement, Aurelia's heart shatters. But before her world crumbles completely, a storm rises. Valerian Stormborne, the ambitious and enigmatic Lord of Thunder, steps forward to claim her. Now bound to a tempest, Aurelia finds herself caught in a whirlwind of betrayal, political games, and the unexpected warmth of love from her tempestuous husband… and her husband's son who calls her mother. But beneath the surface of mortal schemes, the gods begin to stir. Buried deep in the ashes of Caelmont lies an ancient prophecy: A child blessed by all five gods, born of powers that should never mix, will either unite the fractured realms… or bring about their ruin. Now, every Lord wants that child. Every kingdom seeks to control fate. But the gods? They have plans of their own. Now Aurelia stands at the center of obsession and war. The Lord of Winter who rejected her wants her back. The Lord of Wind hides desire behind a cunning smile. Her sister, plots from the shadows. And Valerian, the man who swore she'd "never be a wife," to him begins to burn for her with a passion he cannot control. Caught between storms, gods, and a love that could destroy kingdoms, Aurelia must rise—or the realms will fall.
