Synopsis

General Sevei is of the firm opinion that Nobles are shady and Alchemists even shadier. Noble Alchemists are the absolute worst.

He is not looking forward to partnering with one to guard the border. Upon their introduction, though, it would seem they have already met... under very intimate circumstances.

Oh...,****

Medieval fantasy-world sword and sorcery, but make it gay.

This wholesome, happy-endings-all-around, smutty queer fantasy romance features an M/M main couple along with a host of supporting characters bringing some trans rep, some pan rep, some sex worker positivity, and even a straight ally who tries his darndest, bless his little puppy heart.

Plenty of fluff, plenty of sexy times, a few funny bits, and our gang do all make it through the Horrors - but there is a war on, so there's also plenty of angst and a bit of bloody violence along the way.

CW: Violence, violent death (no main characters), homophobic society, internalized homophobia and closeting, internalized transphobia (supporting character), war veteran ptsd, slavery (supporting character - no abuse of this character is depicted and sentiments are anti-slavery), strong language.

    I love this. The world-building is done in the context of the story, without boring info-dumps, and the author creates a rich and diverse world. The romance is a slow-burn, with one more reluctant than the other. Their chemistry is spot on, and the steamy scenes red hot - romantic erotica rather than smut. 

    Pacing is good, and the events of the story unfold logically. Writing is descriptive without being flowery or descending into purple prose. 

    Hopefully you write a lot more, I'd definitely read it!
