Wei Yan paints the Mountain Goddess, and nothing is the same.
What happens if the cousin is less restrained? What happens if he guides both lovers to disregard Xiao Qiao’s mourning rites? What would his role be in it all?

Summary
Adonis Valverde es estudiante de Historia del Arte, huérfano y demasiado guapo para su propio bien. Vive intentando pasar desapercibido entre clases, trabajos precarios y una vida que nunca termina de sentirse suya.
Todo cambia cuando llama la atención de Azharel, un dios antiguo del deseo y la lujuria, que lo elige como su avatar en el mundo humano. Desde ese momento, Adonis empieza a escalar en un entorno donde la belleza es moneda, el poder siempre pide algo a cambio y nada es tan inocente como parece.
En medio de ese ascenso conoce a Caelum Lustian, avatar del dios de la Justicia: impecable, distante, construido para el orden y el deber. Ambos se reconocen de inmediato como lo que son… y se juzgan sin comprenderse. Mientras los dioses que los moldean se enfrentan desde las sombras, Adonis y Caelum quedan atrapados en un tira y afloja entre prejuicios, deseo y una atracción que ninguno quiere admitir.
Esta es una historia sobre el poder, la identidad y el precio de ser elegido. Sobre amar cuando no es posible amar bien. Y sobre dos humanos intentando sostenerse mutuamente mientras los dioses nunca apartan la mirada.

Summary
Hannibal Lecter is everything his house requires of him: brilliant, dangerous, impeccably controlled and entirely unwilling to marry. Once deeply in love and thoroughly betrayed, he has long since decided that affection is a liability he can no longer afford. His father, less philosophical and far more practical, eventually loses patience and arranges what Hannibal has so carefully avoided: a suitable match with the House of Graham.
Caterina Graham is everything a young noblewoman should be. Beautiful, educated, quiet, and compliant. She is also not alone.
Accompanying her is her twin brother, William Graham, who is none of those things. He is observant, sharp-tongued, difficult, and entirely uninterested in being agreeable. Where his sister yields, Will pushes back.
This story explores aristocratic pressure, inheritance, and the slow unraveling of control. It is a slow burn, an enemies-to-lovers dynamic rooted in power, rivalry, and reluctant fascination. Alpha/Omega elements are present.

Summary
Harry Styles should be dead.
Now, he's just a body tending to the flowers of a man who can't love him, a man trained to prune his own desires like weeds.
Harry knows the end is near—the desire he feels for him is a fire bigger than the one that destroyed his past. They don't want the throne. They want the impossible: a place where the world doesn't force them to be just pieces on a chessboard that has already begun to burn.

Summary
1014. When Queen Susan of Narnia journeys to Calormen, she finds herself welcomed with courtesy, splendour, and a prince who listens as keenly as he speaks. Rabadash is charming, patient, and disarmingly attentive—offering her not conquest, but understanding; not command, but choice. Beneath silk and starlight, diplomacy softens into something warmer, more dangerous.
Power is spoken of gently. Union is framed as peace. And Susan must decide whether what is being offered is partnership…or a crown meant to be worn.Set in the same timeline as all other Narnia fics, with the same host of OCs :)
