Summary
By law, it is forbidden to strike a member of the royal family, especially the crown prince. But sometimes he's really asking for it! The prince's new whipping boy is resolved to set a good example, as befits his family's conservative religion, but as the boys grow close they begin to shape each other in unexpected ways.
A story of young love, disability, and the ups and downs of religion and family and queerness. Also dominance and submission and lots and lots of beatings.
Updates alternate with Coming Home, and other stories in the broader universe. There is currently no fixed schedule: one of the authors has been having chronic health issues, and we always write together. So don't give up on us if it's been a while! Ram and Micha will get their kisses in good time.

Summary
A youth as beautiful as Theo is too precious to be hidden away on a remote farmstead. Maybe that's why his parents sold him, or maybe it was the pretty penny they got out of the deal. As the king's personal pleasure slave, he'll be thrust into a magical world of opulence, sex, and intrigue. But first he needs to study hard, because looks will only get him so far among the palace's highly-trained professionals.
Updates alternate with Whipping-boys and other less frequent series set in the same universe. There is currently no fixed schedule: one of the authors has been having chronic health issues, and we always write together. So don't give up on us if it's been a while! Theo will find himself making a home here in good time.

Summary
Seth got away from his family and all the royalty bullshit that ruined his childhood. At the Imperial Academy of the Arcane, he has friends, many of them cute, promiscuous boys. He has magic and he's good at it. And he has a master who supports his big, big plans. It's time to defend his research program before he begins the final stage of his journey toward the coveted rank of Magister.
This story takes place about thirteen years before the events of the main stories in the series, so you can probably guess how that's going to go.
The "Academia" tag probably constitutes a trigger warning.

Summary
A monarch may have many pleasure slaves, but there is usually a favorite. Seth and Hella, the king and queen of Mekham, are no exceptions. Beautiful, silent Dance is as devoted to his king as his king is fond of him, and his feisty lover Song is tough enough to handle her queen's brutal passions. But beneath their poise, they are a pair of sensitive, disabled teens, working to belong in the opulent and dangerous world of Mekham's royal palace.
This is an ongoing story, but will update less frequently than the main ones in the series. There is currently no fixed schedule: one of the authors has been having chronic health issues, and we always write together. So don't give up on us if it's been a while! Song and Dance will have more to say when they feel like it.

Summary
Gender transition is hard everywhere. In the kingdoms of Mekham, the god Janor can help their faithful with some physical parts, but the legal consequences of horse theft are outside their purview.
