my sun and stars, remember my heart's reflection

by baeconandeggs, byunyeolliepop

Summary:

Baekhyun finds solace in an unlikely place, where blood and flesh are flares of the sun, where heart is a burning, haunting thrum of torment, what the Gods have considered an unfathomable sin. He chooses him despite, and maybe that's the closest to love he can define in his heart.

Or,

Baekhyun is forced to seek marriage in hopes of finding a better means to heal his sick father. The Crowned Prince is an enigma that Baekhyun cannot fully understand, nor can he see himself finding comfort in a place so barren of warmth and connection. However, what starts off as duty begins to unravel into something consuming and whole.
